In this episode of Nephilim Death Squad, The Raven and Top Lobsta are joined by Ed Mabrie of Faith By Reason to dive deep into the Book of Genesis — the origin of mankind, the fall of the Watchers, and the true nature of spiritual warfare. We discuss Halloween and the occult, the Nephilim bloodlines, Saul and the Witch of Endor, baptism, spiritual discernment, and why intent matters more than ritual.
What if winning isn't a destination? What if it's the quiet act of becoming slightly better than you were when the sun rose this morning? Frank Dick spent five decades asking "How do we help people see their own progress?" As British Athletics' legendary Director of Coaching, he discovered something profound. We're wired to notice missing buttons but blind to the ones that are there. His Four Rs framework (Reason, Reality, Reflection, Response) is a mindset shift in how we define growth mindset psychology. Every competition, meeting, and conversation is an invitation to ask: What did I learn? But wisdom is more than whether you reflected—it's whether you committed to doing something differently tomorrow. Three frameworks for transformation: The left-side/right-side exercise: How to rewire your nervous system for positive psychology and curiosity Strength-first philosophy: Why building on what works creates better mental models than fixing flaws (neuroscience meets self-development) Emotional control in the arena: Simple techniques athletes use to ignore distractions and maintain mental strength The only competition that matters is with yesterday's version of yourself—are you ready to win that game?

Welcome to daily בטחון . As we know, one of the sources are אמונה and בטחון is שבת . And as we mentioned last week, since next year ראש השנה is going to be on a שבת , we need our שבת of this year to be on our best behavior. So, בלי נדר , every Friday's class will be something about שבת with השם 's help. I'd like to share with you something very interesting that I just learned this week. We all know that we stand up Friday night by קידוש, ספרדי custom, and we sit שבת morning. Now, what is the reason for the difference?So there's three different reasons brought down as to why we stand Friday night by קידוש . The more popular one, which I was aware of, is because you're staying testimony. When you say קידוש , you're testifying that God created the world in six days and rests on the seventh. And witnesses stand when they say testimony. That is Friday night קידוש , as we're making the testimony as we go into שבת . שבת day קידוש does not talk about, doesn't say ויכלו השמים והארץ , we just say מזמור לדוד . We don't talk about creation. As an aside, the חיד"א says that it's brought down that on Friday night your sins are forgiven as you walk home from שול . And he says the reason is, I'm about to testify, witnesses has to be כשר witnesses to testify, so therefore, in order to allow the Jewish people to testify, God forgives their sins.Reason number two is a fascinating reason the של"ה הקדוש brings down, which is that at a wedding, we stand up under the חופה out of respect for the bride. And since שבת is a bride, בואי כלה , enter bride, we stand out of respect for the bride, as we do by the חופה . Those that are under the חופה stand in Israel, many have the custom, at least in the ספרדי world, that everyone's standing, anyone at the ceremony. Some say that in חוץ לארץ , where our weddings are on a platform and we stand up, that's considered its own domain and therefore one is not considered part of the חופה necessarily. But if you're under the חופה , you have to stand out of respect for the bride. And so too Friday night, as the bride is entering, as the as the as the marriage is happening, we stand by קידוש .Again, beautiful thoughts to realize you're at a wedding Friday night. Reason number three is שבת , God is the king. And out of respect for the king we stand. That's why we bring God in when we are standing up, out of respect for the king. Three fascinating reasons to appreciate Friday night when you're standing, why you're standing.Another important thing to understand about קידוש is it says that when you make קידוש , you're considered a partner with God in creation. Question is, how do you become a partner in God with creation? What are you doing to partner up? You didn't create the world. Rabbi עדס explains with a beautiful משל that I've said in the past. We have four brothers that run a business. One of them flies to China and he is going to the Canton Fair, spending two weeks there working on production. The other brother works in the showroom as a salesman to sell the products. The other brother works in the back office to make sure that all the billing is coming in properly. And finally, our fourth brother, he works on advertising, social media, billboards, getting the word out all over for his product. And they make, the first year they make a million, two, three, four, now they're really doing great. And one of the brothers says to the other two, "Hey, the fourth brother, he's doing advertising. Why is he getting an equal share? He's not going to China. He's not going to... He's not selling. He's not even in the back office. Why should he deserve any money?" And they say, "You know what? Let's cut his salary." Okay? They all vote, three to one, they cut his salary. And lo and behold, the sales go down. What's going on? And they realize we really need advertising. He is an equal partner and he starts getting a portion again.So too says Rabbi עדס , we are partners in creation. There's one thing that God needs us for, and that is marketing. That's advertising. We do that. Our job is to market. So that means just like there's all different ways to advertise, we can have airplanes flying with banners, we can have advertisements in your Uber, and there's endless advertising platforms. The way newspapers and periodicals make money is advertising. The way Google makes money is from advertising. There are these trucks that pull these large, enormous 10-by-10 digital screens advertising. Well, you know what? All of us are walking on שבת with a digital screen on our chest saying, I am a Jew and I believe that God created the world in six days and rests on the seventh. As we go to שול , as we walk in the street in our שבת clothing, we are announcing. this unbelievable testimony. And therefore, we are partners in creation and we have a share in this huge business, this multi-billion dollar business that we inherited this partnership going back to אברהם אבינו who was the one that announced to the world that God created the world, and שרה אמנו . And what's שרה אמנו known for? She lit the candles Friday night. So both the husband when he says קידוש and the wife when she lights candles are involved in the advertising. And now for the final beautiful thought. When someone's a partner, they have a say in the business. And therefore, on Friday night, we have a say in the business. We are part of the business and we have a right for an opinion. That's why there's a story of a great צדיק that they came for a blessing and he said you should have come to me at קידוש time. That's when I'm a partner. Similarly, when a lady lights candles, she makes requests because she's a partner. So appreciate the power of קידוש . Again, we stand for one of three reasons: we're testifying, respect for the bride, respect for the king, and when we say קידוש , we are partners with God in creation.
In this week's episode of Typology, I sit down with my dear friend and fellow book lover Joel Miller—an Enneagram Five through and through, and author of The Idea Machine: How Books Built Our World and Shape Our Future. Joel embodies the mind of a Five: curious, analytical, fiercely independent, and endlessly fascinated with ideas. But as we explore in our conversation, that intellectual brilliance can also become a refuge—a way to manage anxiety, avoid dependence, and retreat from life itself. Together, we unpack what it means for Fives to move from "information to intimacy," from hoarding ideas to sharing their hearts. We talk about why books are "technologies of connection," how Joel's marriage to a Four helps pull him out of his head and into his heart, and why he believes faith is meant to be experienced, not simply understood. If you've ever wondered how to balance thinking and feeling, solitude and connection, this episode will resonate deeply. About Joel: Joel J. Miller is a former publishing executive with a twenty-year career in writing and editorial. Today he serves as chief content officer of Full Focus (FullFocus.co) and publishes Miller's Book Review (MillersBookReview.com), a popular Substack celebrating literary culture. He is the author of several books, including The Idea Machine: How Books Built Our World and Shape Our Future (forthcoming, November 2025). His writing has appeared in Reason, the Washington Post, American Spectator, and National Review. He lives outside Nashville, Tennessee, with his wife, kids, dogs, and more books than space.

What's up, dudes? They're a legendary metal band whose songs were played all the time on MTV. Yes, we're talking Stryper! I've got the incredible Michael Sweet with me to talk about their 1984 singles “Reason for the Season” and “Winter Wonderland!” We also dive into their new album The Greatest Gift of All available this year in November.The boys lay down an eighth note riff in “Reason for the Season,” and modulate for the chorus. The song is full of their dual lead guitar, harmonized in 3rds for texture and interest. After coming to a rocked out climax, it ends with harmonics and acoustic and clean tone electrics. The tight vocal pads give an ethereal feeling contrasting with the previous heavy straightforward rock vibe.Released in December ‘84, the single had a Stryperized version of the classic “Winter Wonderland” as a B-side. This time the band gave the song a swing eighth-triplet riff. After some introductory dialogue, they launch into it, and segue nicely into a triplet dual lead solo. Uniquely, a turnaround transitions to an Elvis inspired bluesy half time rendition of the chorus.And now, this year the band has a new Christmas album! Stryper The Greatest Gift of All is full of classics and original tunes. From a lush and calming “Silent Night” to an uptempo “Joy to the World,” it has it all. The album even ends with re-recordings of their two ‘80s singles, updating them sonically and ending with a bang!Guitar? Check. Soaring vocals? Yep. Full on Stryper vibes? Definitely! So grab your axe, put on your Christmas pajamas, and rock out to this episode on Stryper The Greatest Gift of All!StryperFB: @StryperFB: @MichaelSweet IG: @StryperGive us a buzz!

What is truth, and how can we know it? The Rev. Dr. James Pierce (pastor of Emmaus Lutheran Church in Pasco, WA, and Messiah Lutheran Church in Basin City, WA) joins Andy and Sarah for Episode 2 of our “Prepared with a Reason” series to talk about how we define truth and how we know it's true, whether talking about truth is too academic for real life discussion, why it matters if we know what truth is, what we know about the study of truth (epistemology), and how we respond to worldly assumptions about truth from the Word of God. Find the "Prepared with a Reason" curriculum at cph.org/prepared-with-a-reason-leaders-guide-digital-edition. As you grab your morning coffee (and pastry, let's be honest), join hosts Andy Bates and Sarah Gulseth as they bring you stories of the intersection of Lutheran life and a secular world. Catch real-life stories of mercy work of the LCMS and partners, updates from missionaries across the ocean, and practical talk about how to live boldly Lutheran.

In this message, we explore how our assumptions shape our actions—especially when it comes to sharing our faith. Too often, we assume people aren't interested in God or church, and that keeps us silent. But what if we're wrong? Drawing from 2 Timothy 4:1–8, this sermon challenges us to rethink those assumptions and recognize that most people are far more open to faith conversations than we think. Research shows that nearly 80% of unchurched people would come to church if invited by a friend—and even more are open to simply hearing about Jesus. Pastor Lindsay reminds us that our personal experience with God is one of the most powerful testimonies we can share. In today's world—where arguments are everywhere and truth feels divided—no one can deny your story. Just like word-of-mouth advertising remains the most trusted form of communication, sharing how Jesus has changed your life is still the best way to connect others to Him. Using the Methodist “Wesleyan Quadrilateral” (Scripture, Tradition, Reason, and Experience), the message highlights that while culture may reject tradition or argue against Scripture, experience still opens hearts. When we tell our story of how God has worked in our lives, we plant seeds of faith. The call is simple but powerful: Don't assume rejection—assume openness. Don't argue—share your experience. Don't stay silent—tell your story of Jesus. Because through your story, God is still transforming lives, redeeming hearts, and reconciling the world. Let's be ready, in season and out of season, to “fight the good fight, finish the race, and keep the faith.” fmhouston.com

What if everything you were told about COVID—and vaccines—was only half the story? In this explosive episode of Rush to Reason, John Rush and Dr. Kelly Victory expose the hidden side of public health, fear, and control. Were we misled about the real risks to children? Could “long COVID” actually be masking something else entirely? With 35 years of medical experience, Dr. Kelly reveals what she calls the “silent fallout” of lockdowns, mandates, and mass vaccination. She questions why hospitals inflated death counts, why key studies were buried, and how Big Pharma's influence reaches from Washington to the nightly news. If vaccines were truly beyond reproach, wouldn't the CDC and medical centers be eager to prove it? From the hepatitis B shot given to newborns to the suppressed An Inconvenient Study, this conversation dares to ask what mainstream media won't. Who can you trust when truth-tellers risk everything to speak out?

BREAKING: Pope Leo Unites World Religions in Prayer for Peace — Assisi 3.0?
EPYSODE 58: "Willie Nile", by Willie Nile. Guest: Willie Nile. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. This week we spotlight the electric, poetic debut of Willie Nile, whose 1980 self-titled album emerged straight from the streets of New York's post-punk underground and instantly drew comparisons to Dylan, Springsteen, and Lou Reed. With exclusive commentary from Willie himself, we revisit the making of this cult classic, recorded in the heart of Manhattan during a time when punk grit met folk wisdom. From the raw energy of “Vagabond Moon” to the street-lit soul of “That's the Reason,” Nile reflects on the scenes and sounds that shaped his early songs. Discovered by Clive Davis and praised by The Who, this album remains a landmark for fans of literate rock 'n' roll. Whether you're discovering it for the first time or dropping the needle again, this epysode captures the urgency and charm of an artist who's never stopped chasing truth through song. Spoiler alert: he's still going strong. His newest album may be his best... I hope you dig "Willie Nile" as much as I do. - Farmer John ===CONNECT & SUPPORT=== Transport yourself into the realm of grooviness by supporting us on Patreon using this link --> patreon.com/FarmerJohnMusic Use this link to follow us on Facebook --> https://www.facebook.com/farmerjohnmusic/ Use this link to follow us on Instagram --> https://www.instagram.com/vinylrelics/ Use this link to follow us on TikTok --> https://www.tiktok.com/@vinylrelicspodcast Use this link to follow us on BlueSky --> https://bsky.app/profile/farmerjohnmusic.bsky.social And find us on X @VinylRelicsPod Email me @ farmerjohnmusic@gmail.com ===LINKS=== Check Willie's website for merch, tour info, newsletters and more: https://www.willienile.com ===THE MUSIC=== Songs used in this Epysode, in order of appearance.

In this conversation from 2020, Alex Aragona speaks with Mustafa Akyol as he explores whether Islam can be compatible with liberalism, and his recent research on freedom in Muslim-majority countries. References from Episode 70 with Mustafa Akyol Mustafa Akyol is the author of Rethinking the Kurdish Question: What Went Wrong, What Next? (Turkish), Islam Without Extremes: A Muslim Case For Liberty, The Islamic Jesus: How the King of the Jews Became a Prophet of the Muslims, and his book set for release in April 2021, Reopening Muslim Minds: A Return to Reason, Freedom, and Tolerance (all available titles hyperlinked to Amazon Canada store pages). You can read Mustafa's articles featured on his profile on the CATO Institute's website at this link. The concluding segment of this podcast was dedicated to discussing Mustafa's findings in his study, Freedom in the Muslim World, which was published on the Cato Institute's website and is available for reading here. Mustafa quotes the observation that Islam had compatible socio-legal setups for embracing liberal society early on had it abided by its foundational teachings from Professor David Forte's article, Islam's Trajectory. This article can be read on the Foreign Policy Research Institute's website at this link. One of the themes in his upcoming book, Reopening Muslim Minds, Mustafa cites Ash'arism as one of the theological paradigms predating modernity which gave rise to the insularity in Islamic philosophy towards thoughts not originating from revelation. The journal Studia Islamica has an article recounting the religious history of Ash'arism and can be accessed at this link through an active JSTOR account. Mustafa briefly mentions the Euthyphro Dilemma (Wikipedia), Divine Command Theory (Michael W. Austin, Eastern Kentucky University), and Ethical Objectivism (Oxford Reference) whilst discussing the different camps in Islamic thought. More can be read about these topics through their respective hyperlinks. You can read more about philosopher John Locke's premises on toleration of religion and heresy here (A Letter Concerning Toleration courtesy of McMaster University), as well as his view on the separation of church and state at this link (Liberty Fund). While literature on Islamic liberalism is vast, a good place to start is this article titled What Is Liberal Islam?: The Sources of Enlightend Muslim Thought featured in the Journal of Democracy at this link. This article on Deutsche Welle summarizes the domestic and international tensions stemming from the cartoons of religious caricatures that were published in France. Mustafa quotes Daniel Philpott's book, Religious Freedom in Islam: The Fate of a Universal Human Right in the Muslim World (available on Amazon Canada), about how Islam “had seeds of freedom, but those seeds need to be cultivated.” You can read the excerpt where the French jurist, Jean Bodin, commended the religious freedom of the Ottoman empire compared to the denominational violence amongst Christians in Europe in Daniel Goffman's book, The Ottoman Empire and Early Modern Europe here. Here are Wikipedia articles to the controversy of Islamic scarfs in France, policing over the burkini, and Saudi Arabia's legislation on public head coverings for women.

Risible: Laughter without Reason and the Reproduction of Sound (University of California Press, 2024) explores the forgotten history of laughter, from ancient Greece to the sitcom stages of Hollywood. Delia Casadei approaches laughter not as a phenomenon that can be accounted for by studies of humor and theories of comedy but rather as a technique of the human body, knowable by its repetitive, clipped, and proliferating sound and its enduring links to the capacity for language and reproduction. This buried genealogy of laughter re-emerges with explosive force thanks to the binding of laughter to sound reproduction technology in the late nineteenth century. Analyzing case studies ranging from the early global market for phonographic laughing songs to the McCarthy-era rise of prerecorded laugh tracks, Casadei convincingly demonstrates how laughter was central to the twentieth century's development of the very category of sound as not-quite-human, unintelligible, reproductive, reproducible, and contagious.

BREAKING: The Anglican Church Just Split in Two — History Is Being Made!
An old friend of mine used to say that if the Devil cannot get at you any other way, he will waste your time. I got a letter recently asking me to do a radio program on the question of the pre-tribulation rapture of the saints.So, when the mandatory internet search on the phrase rapture theory returned nearly 1.5 million web pages, including exhaustive arguments being raised on all sides, it struck me that a massive amount of time had been wasted on this issue.Actually, it turns out that there are at least four theories on the rapture, and they have managed to create schism across a wide range of believers. Reason and common sense should say something to us when we encounter something like this. If the Bible were all that clear on the issue, do you suppose we would have this breadth of disagreement?
