Is getting life insurance a sign of fear or an act of love? This question divides many Christian families - one spouse wants financial protection while the other believes it shows lack of faith. In this episode of Marked by Grace, Heath Lambert tackles this practical theology question using three key Scripture passages. Discover why biblical wisdom actually encourages planning for future needs, how trusting God and preparing for danger work together, and why life insurance might be one of the most loving things a husband can do for his family.Timestamps0:00 - Introduction: Can you buy life insurance and still trust God?1:12 - Could life insurance be driven by fear? Yes, but not necessarily2:07 - Proverbs 22:3 - The prudent sees danger and prepares3:19 - Proverbs 6:6-8 - Learn from the ant: prepare for coming needs4:48 - 2 Thessalonians 3:10 - Work and trust go together6:44 - A word to husbands: Life insurance as an act of love7:42 - Both positions can be wrong: fear vs. presumption8:15 - Personal example: Life insurance at the Lambert house and churchKey Points- Fear vs. Wisdom: Life insurance could be motivated by fear, but it's more often an act of biblical wisdom - seeing danger ahead and preparing for it.- Biblical Precedent for Planning: Scripture consistently teaches that preparing for future needs is wise, not faithless. The ant prepares for winter, and we're commended to do the same.- Trust and Work Go Together: Just as we pray for daily bread AND work for our food, we can trust God's provision AND plan for our family's future needs.- Presumption vs. Faith: Not getting life insurance isn't necessarily more faithful - it might actually be presuming upon God to provide in ways He hasn't promised.- Husbands' Responsibility: Men are called to provide for their families and love their wives sacrificially. Life insurance can be a practical expression of this love.- Risk Management: Life insurance allows you to pay someone else to assume the financial risk of your death, protecting your wife from having to make difficult decisions alone.- Both Sides Can Be Wrong: The person wanting life insurance might be driven by fear, but the person opposing it might be driven by presumption rather than genuine faith.- Average vs. Reality: Just because the average American male lives to 79 doesn't guarantee you will - planning for the possibility of earlier death is wise stewardship.Scripture ReferencesProverbs 22:3 - "The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it." - Biblical wisdom encourages preparing for known dangersProverbs 6:6-8 - "Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways and be wise. Without having any chief, officer, or ruler, she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest." - Planning for future needs is commendedProverbs 3:5-6 - "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." - Trusting God doesn't eliminate the need for wise planning2 Thessalonians 3:10 - "If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat." - Personal responsibility and divine provision work togetherMatthew 6:11 - "Give us this day our daily bread." - We pray for God's provision while also working for itEphesians 5:25 - "Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her." - Sacrificial love includes practical provisionHave a question you'd like answered?

The Danger of Presumption: When Grace and God Demands a Response This Homily emphasizes that the goodness and blessings of God are not ends in themselves, . . . . . . but invitations to transformation and repentance. Jesus expresses frustration at communities like Capernaum that witnessed his miracles and heard his teachings yet remained unchanged. The Homily draws a parallel between modern believers and ancient Israel, highlighting the danger of presumption . . . the mistaken belief that God's mercy requires nothing from us. It warns that taking God's grace for granted can lead to spiritual stagnation and even condemnation. The act of receiving Holy Communion is used symbolically to illustrate that God comes close, but we must still respond by moving toward Him, both physically and spiritually. The central message is a call to wake up, repent, and respond to God's call now, while the opportunity remains.

Episode 65 The Power of Interpretation: Constitutional Meaning in the Modern World The Constitution takes center stage in this latest episode with legal scholar Erwin Chemerinsky, Dean of UC Berkeley Law, who is renowned for his studies of constitutional law and federal civil procedure. He and host Matt Adams dig into how the Constitution is interpreted, and occasionally misunderstood, by elected and appointed federal government officials. They also discuss U.S. Supreme Court rulings issued from the Warren court to today in cases involving constitutional law. They explore how the concept of “originalism” has influenced decisions involving civil rights, executive immunity, election campaigns and more. This intriguing episode also touches on whether it's time to draft a new, more modern Constitution. This episode of The Presumption of Innocence was recorded days before the Supreme Court ruled in Trump v. CASA, Inc., restricting federal courts' ability to issue nationwide injunctions, an outcome our guest examines prospectively in the first half of the podcast.

Sexual assault survivors are often allowed to proceed anonymously during court trials for several reasons, primarily aimed at protecting their privacy, safety, and well-being:Reducing Trauma: Testifying about sexual assault can be an incredibly traumatic experience for survivors. Allowing them to proceed anonymously can help reduce the additional stress and trauma associated with public exposure and scrutiny.Protecting Privacy: Anonymity shields survivors from unwanted public attention and intrusion into their personal lives. It allows them to maintain a level of privacy and control over their own narrative.Encouraging Reporting: Fear of public exposure can deter survivors from reporting sexual assault or seeking justice. Anonymity can help encourage survivors to come forward and participate in legal proceedings without the fear of being publicly identified and stigmatized.Ensuring Safety: In some cases, survivors may fear retaliation or harassment from the accused or their supporters. Anonymity can provide an added layer of protection and help ensure the safety of the survivor and their loved ones.However, there are also potential problems that may arise from allowing an accuser to remain anonymous:Fairness to the Accused: Anonymity for the accuser can raise concerns about fairness in the legal process. It may limit the accused's ability to fully defend themselves if they cannot know the identity of their accuser or access potentially relevant information about them.Presumption of Innocence: Anonymity may undermine the principle of "innocent until proven guilty" by creating an imbalance in the perception of the case. The accused may face increased scrutiny and presumption of guilt, especially in the absence of transparency regarding the accuser's identity.Potential for False Accusations: Without the accuser's identity being disclosed, there may be concerns about false accusations going unchallenged. Anonymity could make it more difficult for the accused to present evidence or witnesses that could refute the allegations.Impact on Public Confidence: Anonymity can sometimes lead to skepticism or distrust in the legal process, as it may be perceived as favoring one party over the other. This could affect public confidence in the fairness and integrity of the judicial system.In this episode we get a look at the Judge's order denying the request to proceed anonymously for the duration of the proceedings.(commercial at 11:57)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.611545.49.0.pdf (courtlistener.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Episode 64 Cages We Built: The Making of Mass Incarceration in America The U.S. imprisons a larger percentage of its population than any other country in the world. How did we get here? Rachel Barkow, Charles Seligson Professor of Law and Faculty Director of the Zimroth Center on the Administration of Criminal Law at New York University School of Law, returns to the podcast for an in-depth discussion on that very topic with host Matt Adams. Rachel's second book, Justice Abandoned: How the Supreme Court Ignored the Constitution and Enabled Mass Incarceration, centers the conversation, highlighting six key Supreme Court cases. Rachel asserts that, had the justices ruled differently, their decisions would have created an American society where incarceration rates remained similar to other Western democracies. Rachel and Matt also discuss the financial, societal and practical costs of rising incarceration trends, and whether it's possible to reverse the trajectory.

Episode 63 Enforcement Priorities of the Second Trump Administration: The False Claims Act The Deputy Attorney General of the United States has made it clear that the Department of Justice intends to enforce the False Claims Act (FCA) in a way it never has before: in the pursuit of civil rights fraud. Listen as host Matt Adams is joined by his Fox colleagues Jana Volante Walshak and Kevin Raphael to break down the DOJ's internal memo, titled “Civil Rights Fraud Initiative,” and explain how this new enforcement focuses on “illegal DEI” and impacts businesses and universities that accept federal funds. Matt, Jana and Kevin provide a history of the FCA from its origins in the Reconstruction Era up to present day. They also explore how the act's traditional compliance emphasis compares to the current administration's priorities, and detail the incentives to encourage whistleblowers. Additionally, they forecast how the FCA may be used to enforce other administration priorities in the coming years.

This episode focuses on a serious but often overlooked spiritual danger: when faith slowly turns into presumption.At first glance, they look alike. Faith believes God can move mountains. Faith trusts His promises. Faith stands firm. But presumption hijacks that language and runs with it… without relationship, without reverence, and without surrender. In Charles Spurgeon's Morning by Morning devotion for May 25th , and he writes: “It is not faith to test the Lord, and expect that He will deliver when we are acting out of step with His will. Faith is obedient; presumption is self-willed.”Let that sink in. Faith is obedient. Presumption is self-willed. In many circles today there's no room for sanctification, no willingness to be pruned. Just momentum, branding, and hustle — baptized in Bible verses. Charles Spurgeon reminds us that the promises of God are not licenses for recklessness, but assurances for the obedient heart.DONATE You can help support this podcast by clicking our secure PayPal account.

Episode 61 A Call to Service: From Public Duty to Spiritual Advocacy Father Joseph Ciccone's mission to serve the public has been an unwavering and guiding force throughout his life. He's held many titles over the years: Police Officer. Teacher. Detective. Bergen County Sheriff. Priest. But the title that brings him to the podcast today is that of convicted felon. Father Joe joins host Matt Adams to detail his life of public service, from his early days as a beat cop in the 1980s to his foray into elected public office — which ultimately led him to become the target both of hate crimes and of the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office. After pleading guilty, Father Joe dedicated his life as a priest to advocacy for criminal justice reform. This thought-provoking episode also touches on how Father Joe's personal life as a gay man and his progressive social initiatives as a cop, detective and county sheriff impacted the trajectory of his life.

Long established legal norms continue to be challenged by Trump's Justice Department, leading Andrew and Mary to emphasize how the courts have grown increasingly frustrated with the administration's tactics. They begin with last Thursday's ruling from Judge Rodriguez in Texas, that Trump was unjustified in using the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan migrants. After a review of what that means for his ‘extraction' efforts, Andrew and Mary go deep on an assessment made public from the National Intelligence Council, that indicates despite Trump's presidential proclamation evoking the Alien Enemies Act, intelligence officials do not see a strong link between the Venezuelan government and Tren de Aragua. And lastly this week, they look at the latest judicial pushback on Trump's attempts to threaten law firms, after Judge Beryl Howell ruled against his targeting of Perkins Coie by executive order.Further reading: Here is the assessment from the National Intelligence Council on the relationship between the Maduro government and Tren de Aragua, courtesy of the New York Times.Want to listen to this show without ads?

Episode 60 Enforcement Priorities of the Second Trump Administration: Employee Retention Tax Credit Five years and two presidential administrations later, tensions remain — with the IRS and tax credit applicants — over the pandemic-era Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERC). While the IRS has been continuing a Biden-era restrictive policy, a new mandate may be coming when a new IRS Commissioner is confirmed. Fox attorneys Brian Bernhardt and Jonathan Wasser join host Matt Adams for a comprehensive look at the current state of the ERC. They also discuss Billy Long — the current IRS commissioner nominee — and how his background may shape his plans for the agency's approach to the ERC. Brian and Jonathan also forecast what's likely to come for the IRS and the ERC in light of staffing reductions.

This week, Ken and I have a discussion of Harvard's lawsuit fighting the Trump Administration's effort to punish the university for failing to submit to what amounted to a demand to place the university in a kind of federal receivership. We look at the Supreme Court's middle-of-the-night, weekend rebuke to the Trump administration, ordering a halt to Alien Enemies Act removals from the Northern District of Texas. The subtext of this order is that four of the court's conservatives have noticed the administration's nose-thumbing over the orders in the Abrego Garcia case and aren't pleased about it. In other cases, Trump is trying to use his position as president to get out of paying the larger of the two judgments E. Jean Carroll won against him. The AP is learning that the relief it obtained in theory from Trump's retribution means little in practice. And Nadine Menendez will soon be relieved of the need to take her Mercedes C-Class to the dealership for servicing. This is a public episode.

Episode 59 Enforcement Priorities of the Second Trump Administration: DOJ Focus While President Trump's first administration focused on reshaping the judiciary, he's indicated a priority of his second administration will be reshaping the federal justice system. In this episode, reporter Andy Kroll and host Matt Adams explore the commonalities among recent U.S. Attorney appointments and how these newly named individuals may impact the overall enforcement priorities of the Department of Justice. They discuss what makes this presidential term different — and what makes it the same — as well as how reductions in force and other staffing changes across multiple federal agencies align with the president's stated vision and agenda. An investigative journalist known for his in-depth reporting on the intersections of politics, money and power, Andy currently serves as a national reporter for ProPublica, where he covers justice and the rule of law, including the Justice Department, U.S. Attorneys and the courts.

Key Themes and Important Ideas:1. Foundational Importance:The presumption of innocence is presented as a "vital safeguard that underpins the entire criminal justice system" and "serves as the bedrock of our legal protections."It ensures that "the burden remains on the state to prove its case and that no person is punished without a clear, evidentiary demonstration of guilt."2. Historical Roots:The concept has origins in ancient legal traditions, including Roman law, where the state's responsibility to prove guilt began to take shape.The common law tradition in medieval Europe further refined the notion, with English jurists articulating that the accused did not bear the burden of proving innocence.The maxim “Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat” – "the burden of proof is on the one who declares, not on one who denies" – encapsulates the core of the presumption of innocence.3. Constitutional and International Enshrinement:While not explicitly stated in the U.S. Constitution, the principle is "inferred from the due process clauses of both the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments."Internationally, Article 11 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights explicitly states: "Everyone charged with a penal offence has the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law in a public trial at which he has had all the guarantees necessary for his defence."These codifications affirm it as both a legal principle and a fundamental human right.4. Operation within the Criminal Justice System:It places the "burden of proof squarely on the prosecution" throughout a criminal trial.The state must present evidence that meets the high standard of "beyond a reasonable doubt."This standard is intentionally rigorous due to the high stakes involved (freedom, reputation, life).Ambiguity in evidence must be viewed "in favor of the accused," acting as a "shield against wrongful conviction."5. The Meaning of "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt":It does not imply absolute certainty or mathematical precision.It means the evidence must be "so convincing that a reasonable person would have no logical reason to doubt the defendant's guilt."Any "reasonable uncertainty about the accused's guilt" after considering all evidence compels a verdict of not guilty.6. Practical Implications for Legal Actors:Prosecutors: Bear a "heavy responsibility" to gather robust, reliable evidence and present a case leaving little room for doubt. They cannot rely on "conjecture, bias, or even circumstantial evidence that fails to meet the stringent threshold of certainty." Effective practice demands "ethical principles and rigorous standards of proof."Defense Attorneys: Have a "powerful tool" to argue for their clients' rights by emphasizing the prosecution's burden. They can highlight gaps or inconsistencies to "sow reasonable doubt." Their role is often to ensure the state fails to meet its burden, not necessarily to prove absolute innocence.7. Seminal Case Law:Courts have "repeatedly reaffirmed that the presumption of innocence is a cornerstone of fair trials."Landmark decisions have explicitly stated that "the burden of proof rests with the prosecution and that any ambiguity in the evidence must benefit the defendant."Appellate courts have underscored that "beyond a reasonable doubt" is a "firm requirement" for conviction.8. Impact on the Jury's Role:Jurors are instructed to approach the case with the understanding that the defendant is presumed innocent.These instructions are "vital to ensuring that jurors do not allow their personal biases or preconceived notions to influence their judgment."It acts as a "check against potential miscarriages of justice" by ensuring rigorous and impartial scrutiny of the prosecution's case.

In this in-depth lecture, we journey through the evolution of the presumption of innocence—a cornerstone of criminal law that insists an accused is innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. We explore its historical origins, its enshrinement in constitutional and international human rights frameworks, and its practical application in the courtroom. Discover how this fundamental principle shapes the roles of prosecutors, defense attorneys, and judges, and learn about the challenges posed by modern media and evolving legal practices. Ideal for law students, legal professionals, and anyone interested in safeguarding justice, this lecture provides a comprehensive look at the doctrine that continues to protect individual rights and maintain the integrity of our criminal justice system.

In Part 2 of the conversation with Dr. Justin Reed about his new book The Injustice of Noah's Curse, we focus on the "presumption of Canaanite guilt" and what kind of influence that has on interpreters. How can we learn to ask better questions of the text? This is yet another example of why it is so important to study the Bible with people who bring different lenses to their study! Dr. Reed helps us explore the broader implications of these interpretations for understanding compassion, justice, and morality in ancient texts, highlighting the dynamic and often ironic narratives within Genesis.Read more about Dr. Justin Reed HEREExplore many of his online resources HEREContact Cyndi Parker through Narrative of Place.Join Cyndi Parker's  Patreon Team!

Episode 58 Enforcement Priorities of the Second Trump Administration: IRS Investigations What's on the Trump administration's agenda when it comes to federal investigations? Listen to the first in a series of episodes aimed at answering that question. Former IRS Special Agent Jonathan Schnatz joins host Matt Adams to discuss his experience as world events and changing presidential administrations shifted IRS priorities during his 25-year tenure in the Criminal Investigations division. Now a Principal at Withum, Jonathan shares his opinions and prognostications on the administration enforcement priorities for the IRS, including the suggestion that IRS agents will be deployed to the U.S./Mexico border. Matt and Jonathan also dig into the recently released IRS “Dirty Dozen” list and weigh the likelihood of them becoming enforcement priorities.

Episode 57 Wired for Truth: The Art & Science of Polygraphs The polygraph test: We've all seen it used in popular movies, but what is it the truth behind how it's used in the criminal justice system? Jerry Lewis, a retired New Jersey State Police lieutenant who's been administering polygraphs since 1981, joins host Matt Adams to peer inside the mechanics of the test. They explore the science at work in a polygraph machine and the art of questioning a subject — and how to identify when someone is lying without a polygraph.

Episode 56 A Strategic Gamble: The Risks, Costs and Rewards of Going to Trial Statistics weigh heavily against defendants in the criminal justice system. Only 0.4% were acquitted after trial in federal cases during fiscal year 2022. In this latest podcast episode, host Matt Adams is joined by firm colleague Patrick Egan, whom Matt describes as “the type of trial lawyer you go to when your only option is to roll the dice and go to trial taking a shot against all odds.” Patrick, a Fox Partner and Chair Emeritus of the firm's White-Collar Criminal Defense & Regulatory Compliance Practice, discusses how he navigates clients through the decision to go to trial and shares his insights into the political and procedural reasons why statistics favor prosecutors. Patrick also recounts the details of one of his most high-profile acquittals involving a Philadelphia politician innocent of the charges lobbied against him.

True Crime Tuesday presents: NYPD: Presumption & Dysfunction with Retired New York City Police Detective/Author, Vic Ferrari! Unlike the 1973 classic by Emerson, Lake, & Palmer, the New York City Police Department doesn't want you to have a look inside. They'd prefer you stay away and not ask questions. From fudging crime statistics to clueless cronies landing in coveted positions, everything is par for the course in America's largest police department. You only call 911 when you have a problem. From a double-parked car to the dead guy in the apartment, cops are expected to have all the answers. Unfortunately, there is no crystal ball to consult, just an outdated, eight-inch-thick NYPD patrol guide. When that fails, it's time to get creative. Hopefully, the remedy you choose won't come back to haunt you. The moment you take the oath to protect and serve, you realize the job is not on the level. What happens behind the scenes at the New York City Police Department is unbelievable.  Retired NYPD detective Vic Ferrari takes you behind the blue wall of silence, exposing the hijinks and hypocrisy of the New York City Police Department. Whether it's a cokehead cop in a bathroom stall or a catfight over a spouse's paycheck, there's never a dull moment in NYPD: Presumption & Dysfunction. On Today's TCT, Vic Ferrari takes us behind the NYPD to tell us not only some hair-raising stories of chasing down car thieves, but also some tales of police shenanigans as well!

“You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.” Taking a look at the first commandment, we see how we are called to love and worship God above all else. The Catechism also lists the ways in which we may potentially fall into sins against faith, hope, and charity. Fr. Mike elaborates on these violations and reminds us that while it may seem overwhelming, God loved us first, and we must trust in him. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2083-2094. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.
