Raising Expectations with Pastor Joe Schofield, Dr. Paul Hall, Stefanie Thayer, Dr. Craig Thayer, Pastor Ron Greer California and Restoring Faith, Family and Common-Sense Governance Guest, Elizabeth Wong Ahlers Friends, Elizabeth Wong Ahlers joins us once again on Raising Expectations! Join us for an extraordinary encounter with Elizabeth Wong Ahlers. Elizabeth's unwavering values, profound wisdom, loving family, and strong faith are the catalysts for overcoming every challenge and bringing back the Golden State of California! Her visionary insights and innovative ideas are precisely what America and California need to thrive! Elizabeth possesses the message that can inspire a nation! Remember…YOU hold the power of the VOTE! Pastor Joe Schofield and the "Raising Expectations" team host Elizabeth Wong Ahlers, a candidate for the California State Assembly, to discuss the urgent need for "common sense" governance. The conversation focuses on leveraging faith, family values, and fiscal responsibility to address California's systemic challenges. The "Mama Bear" Candidate and the Call for Experience Elizabeth Wong Ahlers, a fifth-generation Californian and mother of six, positions herself as a "mama bear" fighting for the future of the state's children. With a PhD and experience as a councilwoman in La Crescenta, she argues that the current "one-party rule" in Sacramento has failed to address the basics: education, gas prices, and public safety. The team emphasizes that her background as a parent and community leader provides the "life experience" and "financial wisdom" often missing in career politicians who have never managed a household budget or run a business. Critique of Current Governance and Legislative "Noise" The discussion highlights a disconnect between current legislative priorities and the reality of California citizens. Dr. Paul Hall points to "absurd" bills, such as designating Bigfoot as a state cryptid (AB 666) or imposing rooster fines (AB 928), while the state suffers from the highest cost-adjusted poverty rate and the worst roads in the country. Elizabeth notes that many legislators do not own property or have children, leading to policies that ignore the burden of high taxes and unreliable energy and water supplies. She advocates for a return to "fiscal responsibility" modeled after how families manage their own finances. Education Reform and Constitutional Foundations A central pillar of Elizabeth's platform is SCA1, a school choice initiative that would create flexible accounts for families, allowing them to choose between private, charter, or home schooling. Stephanie Thayer notes that this competition is vital for lower-income families stuck in failing districts. Elizabeth further grounds her mission in the California Constitution, specifically citing the Preamble's gratitude to "Almighty God" and its protection of inalienable rights like liberty and property. She views her campaign not just as a political race, but as a spiritual effort to "let the light shine" in a dark political landscape. The episode serves as both a political endorsement and a spiritual call to action. By contrasting "ridiculous" current legislation with "common sense" solutions like school choice and fiscal transparency, Elizabeth Wong Ahlers and the "Raising Expectations" team aim to mobilize voters to reclaim California's constitutional promise of liberty and prosperity.

Step into the sun-drenched world of 18th-century Venice as we explore the "theatrical splendor" that defined an era. In this episode, Ann and resident expert Tru Ludwig dive into the vibrant Venetian art scene, where the city itself served as both a stage and a muse. We set the scene by discussing the transition from the heavy Baroque style to the airy, spontaneous Rococo and the rise of the "Grand Tour." Discover why 18th-century Venice wasn't just a destination, but a living, breathing entity where reality and imagination blurred through the medium of etching, catering to a new generation of connoisseurs seeking the direct, autographic hand of the artist.

What the Stone Did Not ForgetThe lineage of the sacred feminine from Neolithic Europe all the way to the Stardust Lineage.There is an image of a woman small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. She is less than four and a half inches tall, carved from Neolithic limestone over 28,000 years ago near the Danube River in what is now called Austria. She is all curved. A sacred feminine body with a round belly, full breasts, wide hips, a body in its fullness and generative power, honored in the most permanent material available.She has no face. She does not need one. She is not a portrait of an individual woman. She is every woman. And she is a statement about what the female body means, what it carries, what it represents, and the cosmology of the people who made her. She is, of course, the Venus of Willendorf.She was once tinted with red ochre, the same iron-rich pigment as human blood, and women's blood. Even in the act of carving, there was an awareness of the connection between body, earth, and cosmos. The stone itself was not incidental. The stone holds what time cannot otherwise keep. The stone holds the story and remembers.Across a vast arc of prehistoric Europe and Asia, from France to Siberia, archaeologists have uncovered hundreds of similar figurines spanning thousands of years of human creative life. Each one encoded the same understanding. The female body is sacred. It doesn't represent the sacred. It is the sacred and created from the sacred. She is the source. She is the organizing principle of human life.Honoring the feminine because of matriarchy was not something radical, was not feminism. It was not simply embedded into the fabric of early human cultures. It was actually what the fabric was woven from — not just embedded, woven from. It is the very fibers of the tapestry.And this story lasts for thousands and thousands and thousands of years before the eventual widespread emergence of organized warfare, before the legal and theological structures that would later declare the female body a problem to be managed and named, before the invention of land ownership.The stone did not forget, even as later cultures obscured, suppressed, and reinterpreted and renamed what these figurines meant. The stone holds the story. The clay holds the imprint.Marija Gimbutas and the Language of the Sacred BodyMuch of what we know about these ancient cultures comes from the work of Marija Gimbutas, the Lithuanian-American archaeologist, Professor Emeritus at UCLA, and one of the most important and most contested scholars in the 20th century. She spent decades excavating what she called Old Europe, the Neolithic cultures of prehistoric Europe that flourished before the arrival of the patriarchal peoples from the Pontic-Caspian steppes beginning around 4000 BCE. In the regions of what is now known as Ukraine, Moldova, and Romania, the Cucuteni-Trypillia era, she documented cultures that developed sophisticated symbolic systems over thousands of years, deeply rooted in agricultural art and the cyclical understandings of life.In thousands of figurines, burial sites, ceremonial objects, and symbolic markings, she identified a coherent visual language — circles, spirals, triangles, and the female form encoding an entire civilization's understanding of life, death, the regeneration cycle, and the sacred. This is not primitive decoration. These are not fertility charms made for male desire. These are acts of reverence and collaboration, a co-creative relationship, symbols encoded into stone and clay, telling a story about who we were and perhaps who we could be.And she found no weapons there until later.Her interpretation, by the way, has been challenged and debated by subsequent scholars. Her naming, her description of the archaeomythology of the ancient mothers — to this day, archaeologists are trying to disprove her theories and relabel her findings.And yet the figurines — it's even hard to call them that. The mother. She just exists. The symbols recur across vast distances and thousands of years with a consistency that really demands no explanation. We honored her and her body. Whatever the precise nature of the social structures that produced them, the female body represented in these artifacts is the power. She is the primary symbol through which a civilization found its meaning.That understanding did not disappear when the cultures that held it were disrupted. It went underground, literally, and it survived in objects and then modern day practices that the dominant culture wasn't successful in stamping out.So much they took from us. So much we remembered. The stone remembers, and the stardust bones remember.Lenore Thomas Straus — Choosing the MotherThis is how it leads into our Stardust Lineage.In 1937, sculptor Lenore Thomas Straus received a commission through the Public Works Administration — sometimes called the Works Progress Administration — in Greenbelt, Maryland. This is one of the New Deal communities being built during the Depression, supported by the Roosevelts' vision for an American public life. Lenore worked on multiple projects connected to this era of public art, and photographs document her alongside Eleanor Roosevelt in a hard hat.Lenore also made a note that these communities were being built for white people, but by Black people. That is part of the story. The untold story.For the Greenbelt commission, Lenore was given latitude to choose her subject. It was going to go in the town square. She chose a mother and child — not a warrior, not a statesman for the area, not an allegory of progress or industry. A mother kneeling, with her child holding a cup with both hands. It is carved across three four-foot limestone blocks from Indiana, twelve feet of stone placed in public space, and functional — a water fountain. Just like a woman, she wanted to make sure it made sense. Utility and reverence made inseparable, the act of offering water given permanent form in stone. The sculpture was commissioned in 1937 and completed in 1939.This is, of course, a conscious choice. With the full range of American civic iconography available to her, with the imprimatur of federal commission behind her, Lenore Thomas Straus chose to place the sacred feminine body in a public square — a mother and a child.She also carved in a separate commission the Preamble to the Constitution in stone, also in Maryland.She knew what she was doing. She was doing what the Neolithic carvers had done across thousands of years — inscribing the female body and the values of a society that honors life in the most permanent material available.She wrote of her relationship to carving stone as an artist: Quietly, I bow to the stone.To our community, this summarizes the root system of Intentional Creativity. The sentence holds an entire philosophy. The sculptor does not dominate the material. She listens to it. She honors what it carries. She brings her full devotion to bear before she raises a hand to shape it.Greenbelt, Maryland is where Lenore Thomas Straus is from — Prince George's County, Maryland.Lenore Thomas Straus became the teacher of a young artist named Sue Hoya Sellers. She recognized Sue when Sue was seventeen years old. Sue had ridden seven miles on dirt roads to find her, a portfolio strapped to her bicycle, clothes starched and ironed, two years of preparation. Lenore called her a young artist, and Sue was one.Among the things Lenore passed to Sue was an understanding that the sacred feminine image belonged in the hands of women — that carving was not decoration, that it was transmission, and honestly, a form of decolonizing the female body.Sue carried this forward in her own large-scale work, including a monumental pregnant woman carved in wood commissioned for Alice Walker that stands at Stardust Ranch in Sonoma — the sacred feminine body again in the most permanent material available, given to the woman who had sat at the table with Sue, given to the writer who told me that to be happy is one of the most revolutionary acts.And Sue passed this assignment to me when I was twenty-four. Sue co-mothered me, and this was among the most sacred things she passed forward.A Cold Day and a Palm-Sized PrayerI remember the day.It was cloudy and cold on the mountain. Sue and I, months before, had gone out to dig the very clay from the earth — red clay. She wanted me to understand the whole cycle of making. Finally, the clay was made. It was placed in my hands, and she said: make it fit the palm of your hand. For prayer. Put your intention into it.I brought the clay into my hands and began to shape it. I didn't know what it would become, but I knew that I was called to make the Sacred Mother. It was the first thing I ever made out of clay.Amazingly, years after Sue's death, Lenore's daughter Nora sent me a small figurine carved in stone — one of Sue's earliest works — a goddess figurine, small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. It was only then, holding that piece, understanding what Sue had been handed and what she handed to me, that I received the full weight of the assignment — not as an instruction, as a lineage, as a specific, unbroken transmission of an understanding that Lenore had carried from her own teachers, and they from theirs, all the way back to the women who pressed their hands into cave walls and shaped limestone into figurines small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.It makes me think of my recent visit to Malta — how the Sleeping Lady of Malta is so tiny she can almost fit in the palm of your hand. But there were also sculptures so huge they were claimed to be made by giantesses. Lenore and Sue did the same thing — made the tiny and the large.Lenore was a Norwegian woman. She decided to carve an enormous sculpture, a mother and child. She went on to carve the Preamble to the Constitution in stone. She taught Sue and Sue taught me — from hand to hand and really from heart to heart.And when I think of this teaching and share it with my students today, I feel the throughline of the sacred feminine image always emerging and becoming and arriving in and through our hands. Back at the beginning, right at the time I made that sculpture, I knew I wanted to change the way that women were treated and the way that the face of the feminine was regarded in my lifetime.Thousands of paintings are part of it. The carrying on of a Stardust Lineage — from Neolithic limestones to these stardust bones.Us. We.Footnotes(1) The Venus of Willendorf is housed in the Naturhistorisches Museum, Vienna, Austria.

In this episode, host Etienne Nichols sits down with industry veteran Mike Drues to explore a critical theme in modern MedTech: the danger of "not knowing what you don't know." The conversation centers on the growing trend of companies making avoidable, "boneheaded" mistakes despite a robust regulatory framework. Mike Drues emphasizes that while technology evolves, the fundamental responsibility for safety and effectiveness remains non-delegable.The discussion dives deep into a landmark regulatory event: the first-ever FDA warning letter issued to a company for GMP violations specifically linked to the unauthorized use of Artificial Intelligence in manufacturing. They break down the legal and ethical implications of relying on AI agents to generate specifications and production records without human oversight or process validation.Finally, the episode tackles the controversial idea of individual accountability in regulatory citations. Etienne and Ryan debate whether naming specific professionals in warning letters would curb the repeat of industry-wide errors or if internal company culture provides enough of a corrective force.

If you're a baker, you don't just hope the cake turns out right every time; you test the oven temperature, the mixing time, and the ingredients to prove that if you follow the steps, you get a perfect cake 100% of the time.In MedTech, when a company uses AI to make decisions or manufacture parts, they must "validate" the process. This means proving that the AI (the oven) works correctly and consistently before selling the product. Claiming "the AI didn't tell me I had to test it" is like a baker saying they didn't know they had to turn the oven on because the recipe didn't mention it.Feedback Call-to-ActionWe want to hear from you!

We talk about Millie's experience seeing the film in theaters back in the '90s, how it holds up today, and what makes it so enduring. Along the way, we explore Cher as a character, her relationship with Josh, and debate which characters truly shine—and which maybe don't (even if we still love them).It's a lively, thoughtful conversation, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.You can find more information about Millie De Chirico on her website.Intro Bumper - 0:00 - 0:07One Track Mind Ad - 0:07 - 1:10 Intro Music - 1:10 - 2:22 Preamble - 2:22 - 6:33 Millie's Background at TCM - 6:33 - 29:37 Movie Summary - 29:37 - 32:16 Trailer - 32:16 - 34:37 Clueless - 34:37 - 1:35:23 Social Media Plugs - 1:35:23 - 1:38:19 Outro Music - 1:38:19 - 1:39:16Edited by: Austin ProctorProduced by: Michael ViersTheme Music by: Austin ProctorOpening Narration by: Nick RichardsCredits Music by: Ten-SpeedLogo Design by: Amanda ViersFor more amazing shows like this, be sure to check out https://www.someonesfavoriteproductions.com/network

Here on The Preamble, we look for the historical context and the factual clarity behind the headlines because we know that understanding the "why" helps us navigate the "what." But as we look at the big stories driving our future, we can't ignore the smaller, quieter stories happening in our own lives—the transitions, the pivots, and the big questions about our own purpose. Questions like: “What should I actually do with my life?” and “How do I make the hard decision to stay or go?” Today, I'm sharing a special introduction to a voice that brings that same commitment to clarity and honesty to the art of self-discovery: Suzy Welch. Suzy is a three-time New York Times bestselling author and the professor at the helm of NYU's most popular class on authentic purpose. She is a leading expert on decision-making, but she delivers her expertise with a refreshing, irreverent wit. On her podcast, Becoming You, Suzy tackles the "freaking truth" about life and work today without leaving you in despair. Find Becoming You with Suzy Welch wherever you get your podcasts.

Environmental justice is not just about pollution. It's about freedom.In this episode, Dr. Joseph takes listeners deep into the Preamble to the Principles of Environmental Justice, first articulated at the 1991 First National People of Color Environmental Leadership Summit. But this is not just a technical introduction. Dr. Joseph describes how the preamble is a bold declaration of resistance, connection, and liberation. This episode unpacks how environmental justice emerged as a global movement rooted in the lived experiences of peoples of color facing centuries of colonization, oppression, land theft, and environmental destruction. Dr. Joseph explores the preamble's insistence on spiritual interdependence with the Earth, the protection of culture and community, and the demand for political, economic, and cultural liberation as essential to survival, not just for the people but for the planet. Dr. Joseph discusses how environmental harm is not accidental, but the direct outcome of systems built on exploitation and extraction, and why environmental justice has always been inseparable from civil rights, self-determination, and global solidarity.This episode sets the table for everything that follows. The principles begin here - with clarity, urgency, and a refusal to separate environmental protection from human dignity.Let's get to it!Resources: Principles of Environmental JusticeBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-environmental-justice-lab--5583745/support.Connect with our Environmental Justice Lab community: Instagram: @envjusticelab YouTube: @envjusticelab Email: theenvironmentaljusticelab@gmail.comDon't forget to subscribe and rate the podcast wherever you listen!

The Declaration of Independence summarizes and defends the most fundamental ideas about America - about our government, the relationship between it and individuals, and how its proper place in public life.

This week on Crack the Book, we dive into a fascinating mix of political and philosophical texts from Ted Gioia's Immersive Humanities List: the U.S. Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Communist Manifesto, and Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Women.I revisit the Declaration with fresh eyes—its sharp list of grievances and its insistence on mutual respect still sparkle with clarity. The Constitution, shorter than I expected, impressed me with how firmly it centers the individual while still designing a workable government.From there we move to Marx and Engels, whose Manifesto frames history as a struggle between classes and calls for radical redistribution of power. Finally, I explore Wollstonecraft's early feminist argument for women's education and its importance for society's progress.Next week: a palate-cleansing turn to Jane Austen.

Amit Singh, a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre for Social Studies (CES) at the University of Coimbra, discusses Hindutva, a political ideology encompassing the cultural justification of Hindu nationalism and the belief in establishing Hindu hegemony within India, as well as the dangers it poses to religious minorities today. Covering Narendra Modi's trajectory from Gujarat's Chief Minister from 2001 to 2014 to the Indian head of state, Singh explains how the RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) and other far-right Hindutva groups have created conflicts between Hindus and Muslims in order to destabilise communal balance, Singh describes how India's colonial past has been polarised by far-right Hindu nationalist groups who have aimed at Christian, Muslim and other Indian minority religious groups in order to create division within India on a social level, while Modi and other BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) cohorts have enacted draconian legislation which is aimed at maintaining the Hindutva majority status with the political and bureaucratic plateaus while conterminously creating conflicts throughout the country. Covering the recent history of the state of Jammu and Kashmir, the only Indian territory with a Muslim majority, Singh contends that the application of Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, which divides Kashmir into regions while artificially populating the area with Hindus, is all part of a greater plan by the BJP to further sow sectarian divides politically which nourish the growing social divide between religious minorities and Hindus, while completely abandoning the forty-second Amendment of the Indian Constitution (1976) whereby the Preamble to the Constitution asserts that India is a secular nation.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessagePolitics feels hotter than ever, but the real danger is how quickly heated words become guiding rules. We unpack what a “cold civil war” looks like, why it resonates right now, and how the United States has navigated similar standoffs before. From the Nullification Crisis to federal enforcement of school integration, from Reconstruction's contested peace to the open wounds of the Civil War, we draw a clear map of escalation—and a path to avoid repeating it.I walk through how rhetoric primes action: when leaders normalize contempt and caricature, citizens assume bad faith and brace for conflict. We explore the balance between firm enforcement of law and the need for face-saving offramps that keep people inside the system. You'll hear concrete lessons from Jackson, Clay, the Kennedys, and the courts; how legal clarity, courageous leadership, and careful language cooled past crises; and why institutions must enforce rights consistently to prevent extremist capture.We also examine today's flashpoints—campus speech battles, identity debates, and street-level confrontations—and ask what it would take to lower the temperature without silencing dissent. The answer isn't softer arguments; it's stronger norms: steelmanning opponents, rejecting political violence, and rebuilding civic rituals that let disagreements play out within guardrails. As we preview our upcoming structured debate, the goal is simple and urgent: trade labels for logic, trade clout-chasing for persuasion, and keep conflict civil and lawful.lets have the debate

The Preamble to the Assemblies of God “Statement of Fundamental Truth” says: “The Bible is our all-sufficient rule for faith and practice. This Statement of Fundamental Truths is intended simply as a basis of fellowship among us …. The phraseology employed in this statement is not inspired or contended for, but the truth set forth is held to be essential to a full-gospel ministry. No claim is made that it contains all biblical truth, only that it covers our need as to these fundamental doctrines.” This Preamble serves as the epigraph of Mike Ivaska's new book, A Basis of Fellowship, which contains sermons he preached about the “Statement of Fundamental Truths” at Vachon Island Community Church in the Fall of 2024. In this episode of the Influence Podcast, I talk to Ivaska about why and how he preached those sermons, and why and how AG ministers should do something similar. I'm George P. Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host. Mike Ivaska is pastor of Vashon Island Community Church in Washington state and an ordained Assemblies of God minister. He wrote “Preaching Doctrine” in the Summer 2025 issue of Influence magazine and is author of A Basis of Fellowship, published by Resource Publications. ————— This episode of the Influence Podcast is brought to you by My Healthy Church, distributors of The Holy Spirit in the Life of the Discipler.

It's recently come to light that the wonderful actor Mark Bonnar appeared alongside David in his infamous Inspector Lynley Mysteries scene. So Joe, being a friend of Marks, has asked him to come on the pod to give his impression of how David behaved on the day. Was he really as nervous, time-waisting and rubbish at acting as David believes? The only problem is that Mark's suddenly had to cancel and re-schedule the chat. So Joe and David take the opportunity to have a deep-dive into the whole Inspector Lynley experience - so much so that they had to make this episode a 2-parter.

“I AM” (not a tribal god) Journey to Reality Chapter Three: Who is God? Preamble.  First – apologize.  If you want to see an object's strengths and weaknesses, put it under stress.  We do this with our asceticism: prayer rules, regular participation in worship, fasting, and tithing are useful not just because they develop virtue, but because they test it.  They show the extent to which we need to work on our patience, reliability (faith), kindness, and trust.  For most people, most of the time, the responses are not life-threatening and they allow for repentance and change towards the better. Big stresses to the system do an even better job at exposing flaws and virtues. They can also do real damage to people's souls.  Many have been going through that kind of a trial the past week.  As your pastor and, for many of you, your spiritual father, my main calling is to care for your souls.  I understand the complexity and dynamics at work in our society as a trained and  experienced social scientist, intelligence analyst, and theologian and, I will be happy to share some observations with you.  But these are sorts of things that many of you have been binging on over the past week.  And that in itself is often a tell; an indicator of a sickness. So first, I ask you the most important question: what have you learned about your spiritual health over the last week?  NOTE: I am not asking about your alleged discernment about the spiritual health of others, but of your own. 1 Corinthians 13:4-9. 4. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;  it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. [But love never ends.] How are we doing on this?  To the extent we have been pulled off our peace, we are subject to manipulation.  If the con is well-done, people won't even know they are being used.  Propaganda doesn't just work on THEM, it works on everyone.  And there are always demonic propagandists looking for opportunities to manipulate for various purposes.  None of them good.   Now on to the Scripture Preparation for our Reading There is always a temptation to: ·      Turn God into a created and anthropomorphized god SO THAT WE CAN UNDERSTAND HIM (Compare this to the Incarnation) ·      Turn God into a tribal god. This shows up in the Scriptures.  God has emotions (anger, jealousy) and sets aside the Jews as his portion/tribe.  The Bible is True, but its meaning is not always obvious. ·      Deuteronomy 4:23-24.  So watch yourselves, that you do not forget the covenant of the Lord your God which He made with you, and make for yourselves a graven image in the form of anything against which the Lord your God has commanded you. For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God. ·      Deuteronomy 32:5-10.  When the Most High divided the nations, When He scattered the sons of Adam, He set the boundaries of the nations by the number of God's angels.  For the Lord's portion became the people of Jacob; the allotment of His inheritance is Israel.  We can turn God into our own tribal God and subsume our worship to tribal virtue signaling.  But that would be heresy.  Christian nationalism brings too many temptations.  It is NOT Orthodox.  We have the fullness of the faith, but we do not own God and His is the God of all mankind.  And more.  Worship and prayers are not spells, but our offering to the absolute source of all good things who has adopted us into His kingdom. Exodus 3:14. God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘I AM has sent me to you.'” St. Hilary of Pottiers (On the Trinity); In [the Books of Moses and the Prophets] I found the testimony of God the Creator about himself expressed in the following manner: “I am who I am,” and again, “Thus shall you say to the children of Israel: He who is, has sent me to you.” I was filled with admiration at such a clear definition of God, which spoke of the incomprehensible nature in language most suitable to our human understanding. It is known that there is nothing more characteristic of God than to be, because that itself which is does not belong to those things which will one day end or to those which had a beginning. But that which combines eternity with the power of unending happiness could never not have been, nor is it possible that one day it will not be, because what is divine is not liable to destruction, nor does it have a beginning. And since the eternity of God will not be untrue to itself in anything, he has revealed to us in a fitting manner this fact alone, that he is, in order to render testimony to his everlasting eternity. St. Jerome (Letter 15): There is one nature of God and one only; and this, and this alone, truly is. For absolute being is derived from no other source but is all its own. All things besides, that is, all things created, although they appear to be, soon are not. For there was a time when they were not, and that which once was not may again cease to be. God alone who is eternal, that is to say, who has no beginning, really deserves to be called an essence. Therefore also he says of him, “I am has sent me.”  Letter 15.4. St. Augustine (Tractate on the Gospel of John): Perhaps it was hard even for Moses himself, as it is much also for us, and much more for us, to understand what was said, “I am who I am” and “He who is has sent me to you.” And if by chance Moses understood, when would they to whom he was being sent understand? Therefore the Lord put aside what man could not grasp and added what he could grasp. For he added and said, “I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.” This you can grasp. But what mind can grasp, “I am who I am”? Tractate on the Gospel of John 38.8.3 St. John 8:58. Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” St. Gregory the Great (Homily 16 on the Gospels).  Our Redeemer graciously turns their gaze away from his body and draws it to contemplation of his divinity. He says, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.” “Before” indicates past time, “I am” present time. Because divinity does not have past and future time but always is, he did not say, “I was before Abraham” but “Before Abraham was, I am.” And so it was said to Moses, “I am who I am,” and “You will say to the children of Israel, ‘He who is has sent me to you.' ” Therefore he who could draw near by manifesting his presence and depart after completing his life existed both before and after Abraham. Truth always exists, because nothing begins before it in time or comes to an end after it. When we have the correct understand of God, that He is the uncreated Arche' whose essence IS; but that He also works in creation through His energies, we can add words to His Name without limiting Him.  Here are some examples (For a more complete list, see “on the Divine Names” by St. Dionysius): I am …With you… [I am] your God. (Isaiah 41:10; St. Matthew 28:20) I am He who comforts you (Isaiah 51:12) Way, Truth, Life. (St. John 14:6) Resurrection and the Life. (St. John 14:6) The True Vine (St. John 15:1,5) Light of the world. (St. John 8:12) Bread of Life (St. John 6:35) The Door (St. John 10:9) Good Shepherd (St. John 10:11) Alpha and Omega… (Revelation 1:8) This helps us understand Dr. Porcu's point in chapter three.  The early Christians knew that God was the arche', with all that this entailed, but they also knew that he was a Person with a Mind and a Will (p. 28). WHAT THIS DOESN'T MEAN. ·      The example of the rock that is a person.  The tree that is a person.  The planet that is a person. The star that is a person. The universe that is a person. ·      “However, this is not what we mean when we say that the arche' is a person.  We're not taking some object and adding the idea of personhood to it.  We're saying that the ultimate governing principle of reality – distinct from the created universe – is personal. This is why God's name – which allows us to relate to Him – is centered on existence. St. Jerome (Letter 15): As the angels, the sky, the earth, the seas all existed at the time, it must have been as the absolute being that God claimed for himself that name of essence, which seemed to be common to all. But because his nature alone is perfect and because in the three persons there subsists but one Godhead, which truly is and is one nature, whoever in the name of religion declares that there are in the Godhead three elements, three hypostases, that is, or essences, is striving really to predicate three natures of God. Letter 15.4. HIS BEING, HIS EXISTENCE, HIS ESSENCE, IS NOT SHARED WITH CREATION. His energies, however, are.  Which should we worship?  This, not intent or love, is the main difference between the Orthodox sacramental worldview and the pagan one.   Next week: The One or the Many?

Christian welcomes comedian Tom Kelly back to the show, and before they tackle the topic at hand (the death of late night television), they attempt to navigate some of the other ups and downs of the media landscape, including the recent rumors and innuendos around Howard Stern, Rosie O'Donnell embracing Tik Tok, Greg "Opie" Hughes being terrible at live streaming Greg, and somewhat surprisingly a recurring character on "Facts of Life". Plus, Tom explains how his life (and comedy) has been impacted by a recent injury.

As researchers peer deeper and deeper into the JFK Records Act, startling and suspicious questions arise as to how the nation's national archives (NARA) handled record administration.  Record administration that was handed over to NARA  after the JFK record collection was turned over to them upon sunsetting of the ARRB.  Even more startling, are the facts surrounding how certain CIA records in a sequestered collection might have been "managed" prior to the effective date of the JFK Records Act, and done so in a way that deftly avoided the disclosure requirements under the Act.  This preamble  episode (from me) is an attempt to  succinctly summarize the research and findings of Andrew Iler regarding these topics and the steps taken by he and fellow researcher Mark Adamczyk to bring attention to this matter.  Most recently, this was accomplished by Andrew's two part paper published on the Kennedys and King website and Mark's letter to the Congressional Task Force On The Declassification of Federal Secrets and Congresswoman Luna.  Listen here (first) and then prepare for an action packed video  interview with Andrew, Mark and famed author and JFK expert James DiEugenio.  That interview debuts tomorrow  on both the podcast and YouTube channels, where we learn more from Andrew and Mark and gain the broader perspective on the entire matter from James DiEugenio.
