Who actually wrote down the Bible? Not in the storybook version, but in history. Behind the pages of the Hebrew Bible stands a hidden world most readers never see. Rival priestly families competing for authority. Refugees from a fallen kingdom rebuilding their identity with a pen. Scribal dynasties whose fingerprints are still on the text you read today. And at the center of it all, one question that mattered more than any other in the ancient world: who gets to speak for God?In this episode, Johnny Ova sits down with Dr. Mark Leuchter, Professor of Hebrew Bible and Ancient Judaism at Temple University and Director of Jewish Studies, one of the world's leading scholars on the Israelite priesthood. Dr. Leuchter takes us inside the institutions that controlled sacred knowledge in ancient Israel, from the rise and fall of the Levites to the scribes who turned written words into a substitute for the temple itself. This conversation will change how you understand the book sitting on your shelf.In this episode you will learn:Who actually preserved and passed down the texts that became the Hebrew BibleWhy ancient Israel's priesthood was fragmented into competing families, and what they were really fighting overWho the Levites were, and how they fell from the top of the ladder to the back tableWhat the golden calf story is really criticizing beneath the surfaceHow scribes became sacred intellectuals, and why authority shifted from the altar to the penWhy scholars connect Deuteronomy to Levite scribes, and where that leaves MosesThe scribal family of Shaphan and how they shaped the book of JeremiahWhat happened to the rival priestly families by the time of EzraWhether human fingerprints on the text rule out divine purposeDr. Mark Leuchter's books:The Levites and the Boundaries of Israelite Identity: https://www.amazon.com/Levites-Boundaries-Israelite-Identity/dp/0190665092Dr. Leuchter's faculty page: https://liberalarts.temple.edu/directory/mark-leuchterHis articles at TheTorah.com: https://www.thetorah.com/author/mark-leuchterStay Connected:Website: Johnnyova.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thejohnnyovaThe Revelation Reset: https://a.co/d/hiUkW8H

The conversation focused on Livid, a newly launched video hosting platform positioned as a strong alternative to Vimeo, especially for users facing steep price increases following Vimeo's acquisition by Bending Spoons. A key theme that emerged was Livid's streamlined migration tools, including a free exporter and a robust WordPress plugin, making it easy to transfer and replace Vimeo content. The discussion explored customisable player options, flexible privacy controls, showcases for grouping content, and competitive bandwidth and storage pricing. Assurance of stable backing and infrastructure rounded out the deep dive into Livid's value for the WordPress and wider web community.

VR41 - What does a “moderate conservative” sound like in August 2026? Thomas and Matt take a closer look at two very different self-proclaimed “moderates” representing the best and brightest in MAGA apologism. We begin with some low points from Tim Pool's recent appearance on the gimmicky “Surrounded” debate series before taking on our main story:  a National Review cover piece by Dan McLaughlin on the “broken” asylum system which demonstrates exactly the kind of finely nuanced understanding of U.S. immigration policy you might expect from the man better known to golden-era Twitter users as The Baseball Crank.

Bryan answers listener questions on a fake LA mayoral poll built from zero data, a Somali "entrepreneur of the year" award winner exposed as a Medicaid fraudster in Minnesota, and why the CIA and Mossad haven't yet assassinated Iran's IRGC leadership. He also breaks down the Pentagon's new two-week deadline for universities to audit their Chinese research partnerships. Plus, Bryan covers Trump's naval blockade now controlling 80% of Strait of Hormuz shipping traffic, a Pentagon debate over pulling US forces out of the Middle East entirely, and new reporting on Turkish and Israeli influence campaigns targeting American media and AI chatbots.

   The four year saga to build a new stadium in KC for the Royals was a blockbuster to watch and we all thought it ended with the big Crown Center announcement earlier this year.  Boy, were we wrong.  It ended with a Royals worker being arrested at a council meeting when it broke out into a free for all.  Hilarious.    Penn State frat boys got busted running a drug ring and their leader's nickname is one for the ages.      The Minnesota award winner for "Refugee of the Year" is charged with 8 counts for fraud stealing millions from Medicaid.  Of course he did.      Nike is a failing company and has been ever since it paid millions to Collin Kaepernick for kneeling during the national anthem and holding news conferences wearing Castro tee shirts.  This is bad, but they can fix it.  Just do it.     The most counted on Chiefs O-Lineman misses practice Tuesday with, uh oh, a back injury.  Eric Bieniemy speaks about his son shooting his wife.    Sporting KC spends millions on an international player and boy do they need something good.  The Advent Health Championship golf tourney starts Thursday at Blue Hills as Tom Watson takes center stage as the tourney ambassador.  And our Final Final is sad news about a legendary rock band.

Spiritual abuse doesn't begin with one bad person. It grows through a culture of approval, secrecy, fear, and loyalty that slowly teaches people to stay quiet, play along, and mistake control for faithfulness. Mike Erre and Tim Stafford break down the eight phases of a power-through-fear church and contrast them with the kind of community Jesus actually builds - a pocket of tov, where goodness, wholeness, and courage can exist without hype or performance.If you'd like to support the work at VOXOLOGY, and join us next month for the book club, you can join here: https://www.patreon.com/c/voxology/postsIf you're interested in Spiritual Coaching, you can email tim@voxpodcast.comTimestamps00:00 - Opening banter, kids back in school, and community updates02:01 - Spiritual coaching and the Patreon book club announcement03:49 - Frustration with corruption, outrage fatigue, and local engagement09:31 - Refugees in Tennessee and creating pockets of hope12:08 - A listener asks if introversion is sinful14:54 - Quiet time as formation for community, not a spiritual end point17:24 - Why introverts can still be harmed by solitude without structure18:38 - Why spiritual disciplines need purpose, framework, and discernment21:50 - Spiritual abuse is a culture, not just a bad person24:48 - Step one: power concentrated in one person26:14 - Insider approval, status enhancement, and filtered influence28:09 - Outsiders, status degradation, and fear of disapproval30:04 - Secrecy, image management, and what happens behind the wall32:59 - Banishment, loyalty tests, and being expelled from the circle34:29 - How church culture also shapes who gets seen as a leader36:34 - Compassion and empathy as the first marks of a healthy culture38:30 - Grace, failure tolerance, and hierarchy as responsibility41:25 - A bottom-shaped triangle: leadership exists for the community45:17 - Putting people ahead of the institution47:39 - Truth telling, confession, and why churches avoid self-exposure50:25 - Justice over loyalty culture and the misuse of Matthew 1852:26 - Power dispersed, not accumulated54:25 - Service over celebrity and power-under leadership56:18 - Overperforming, underperforming, and leaders inserting themselves between God and people58:08 - What heroes a culture celebrates and why ordinary faithfulness matters61:27 - How do you build a healthy church in a hype-driven world?62:55 - Practices of resistance: no hype language, no sermon-series hype machine65:42 - The woman caught in adultery as a model of calm, teaching, and restoration69:03 - Christ-likeness over leadership culture and the CEO model of church72:12 - Richard Foster's marks of spiritual power: love, humility, self-limitation, joy, vulnerability, submission, freedom73:11 - Mike's daughter testifies in a stalking case and the cost of being believed77:31 - Why he stays in an organized church and what a healthy community can look like80:33 - Why people won't stay just for hype, and the need for pockets of tove81:53 - Building boring, sustainable, life-giving communityAs always, we encourage and would love discussion as we pursue.

Larry dives into a shocking story about the FBI's operation to protect Joe Biden's reputation during the 2020 presidential election. With documents revealing a counterintelligence operation aimed at neutralizing the Ukraine narrative, Larry explores the implications of the FBI's actions and how they may have impacted the outcome of the election. The episode delves into the details of Operation Round River, a counterintelligence operation that involved briefing media and politicians to discredit the Ukraine story as Russian disinformation. Larry discusses how this operation may have been used to thwart Congress's investigation into Hunter Biden's dealings with Ukraine. They also examine the FBI's handling of confidential human sources, including the insertion of notes into informant files that labeled their information as Russian disinformation. The conversation touches on the broader implications of the FBI's actions, including the potential obstruction of justice and the abuse of power. Larry also discusses the importance of transparency and accountability in government, and how the release of these documents may be a step towards holding those responsible accountable.Become a Townhall VIP member with promo code "LARRY": https://townhall.com/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On the northeastern tip of Morocco, just south of Gibraltar, the Spanish city Ceuta was recently overwhelmed by Moroccan migrants. At the end of last month, tens of thousands of Moroccans flooded border crossings, or tried to get around them by swimming in the Strait of Gibraltar. Dozens of people died in the attempt. Now, while the majority of the migrants have been returned to Morocco, hundreds, if not thousands, still remain in Ceuta, struggling to access food and water, while inflamed anti-immigrant sentiment tears at the fabric of the city, and European Union at large. Host Caryn Ceolin is speaking with Gerald Knaus, President of the European Stability Initiative, about the crisis, what's behind it, and the political upheaval in Europe, as the far-right continues to make gains in major nations on the backs of anti-migration seeker sentiment.

Samuel tells stories of his years of discipleship under controversial spiritual teachers such as Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche and Thinley Norbu Rinpoche, offers his insights about how to be a vajrayana student, and reflects on what it takes to be the disciple of tough masters. … Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics include: 00:00 - Intro 01:02 - Rude Awakenings 02:46 - Child of the holocaust 05:03 - Arriving in America 07:18 - Interest in literature and politics 08:21 - Working for Kennedy 09:32 - Disillusionment with politics 11:16 - Exploring spiritual traditions 12:36 - Theosophy and Buddhism 14:56 - First satori 15:42 - Samuel's mother's preference for Russia 17:24 - Difficulties in America as a refugee and becoming a citizen 10:26 - Samuel's resilience and processing past trauma in meditation 22:22 - Becoming part of the Kennedy office 25:02 - Refugee confidence 26:16 - Samuel's doubts about himself 28:57 - Witnessing politicians lying about Vietnam 30:42 - Having a breakdown 32:32 - Disappointing spiritual teachers and politicians 34:15 - Experience with Lama Anagarika Govinda 38:17 - Developing trust in spiritual teachers 39:42 - Founding of Shambala Publications 41:00 - Years of discipleship under Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche 43:14 - Being with tough gurus 44:10 - Skepticism about Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche 45:34 - Death of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche 46:43 - How to be a Vajrayana student 49:56 - Samuel's special relationship with Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche 51:37 - Stories about Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche's personal teaching 54:44 - Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche's dark side 58:20 - Comparing enlightened teachers 01:03:09 - Becoming a disciple of Thinley Norbu Rinpoche 01:11:24 - Lineage stories are real 01:12:31 - Lama's commission to Samuel 01:13:19- So easy to miss spiritual opportunities 01:15:19 - Rude Awakenings, breadth and depth 01:16:12 - Why “Rude Awakenings”? … To purchase “Rude Awakenings: vist: - https://www.shambhala.com/rude-awakenings.html For more interviews, videos, and more visit: - https://www.guruviking.com Music ‘Deva Dasi' by Steve James

Amid endless wars, authoritarianism, neocolonialism, and displacement, millions are being uprooted, while pervasive uncertainty grips millions more. As the world is remade through what some have described as neo-illiberalism, the very façade of humanitarianism, and indeed the boundaries of who counts as human, is beginning to unravel. Contemporary capitalism, imperialism, and colonial power produce vast populations whose lives are treated as disposable, surplus, or expendable. Yet the social worlds, forms of care, survival practices, and creative capacities of these populations continually exceed such imposed disposability. To understand the present conjuncture, we must attend to the “life-times” of migrants, informal workers, slum dwellers, and other populations rendered surplus by dominant political and economic orders. This episode brings together two scholars whose work has grappled with these questions in profound ways. At the same time, the humanitarian incorporation of displaced populations into conditions of permanent temporariness is not outside history. Refugee camps and other spaces of displacement are complex built environments with their own material, social, and political histories. Using Remaindered Life and Architecture of Migration as heuristics, our guests explore the political imaginaries animated by these influential books and reflect on their relevance to the current conjuncture. In doing so, they situate contemporary forms of displacement, disposability, and humanitarian governance within the enduring palimpsest of colonial pasts.

Dr. Maryam Sabetian was born in Tehran, Iran, into an interfaith family. Her father is a Baha'i, and her mother is Muslim. Like many Baha'i families in Iran, they faced significant religious persecution and discrimination. From the age of seven, Dr. Sabetian knew she wanted to become a physician. She was fascinated by science and dreamed of becoming a source of healing and comfort for people during their most vulnerable moments. Religious persecution, limited opportunities, and financial hardship ultimately forced her family to flee Iran. At the age of ten, they crossed the border into Pakistan with the help of a smuggler in search of safety and a better future. They settled in Islamabad, where they became part of a community of refugees awaiting resettlement. After being recognized as refugees by the United Nations, they applied for refugee visas through the U.S. Embassy. Their visas were approved on September 10, 2001, but were revoked the following day after the September 11 terrorist attacks. They waited another year and a half before their visas were finally reinstated.Dr. Sabetian, her parents, and her younger brother, arrived in the United States at the end of 2002. She was thirteen years old and spoke very little English. Despite the challenges of adapting to a new country and language, Dr. Sabetian remained committed to her dream of becoming a physician. She attended Boise State University, where she majored in Molecular Biology, and later met her husband.  Dr. Sabetian recently published her memoir, Flowers of Kindergarten, which chronicles her childhood in Iran, their escape to Pakistan, and the journey to the United States through the eyes of a young girl. Her hope in writing this memoir is to humanize the refugee experience, increase understanding of Iran and Persian culture, and preserve the memories of her childhood friend, Maryam, whose friendship profoundly shaped her life. In Part 1 of this two-part interview, Dr. Maryam Sabetian shares her remarkable journey from childhood in Iran to building a new life in the United States. She reflects on growing up in an interfaith family, fleeing religious persecution, living as a refugee in Pakistan, and the experiences that ultimately led her to a career in medicine.Topics discussed include: Growing up in Iran and dreaming of becoming a physician  Religious persecution and the decision to leave Iran  Escaping to Pakistan and navigating life as a refugee  The impact of September 11 on her family's immigration journey  Building a new life after arriving in the United States  The role of friendship, family, and community throughout her journey And more!This episode is Part 1 of a two-part conversation. In Part 2, Dr. Sabetian discusses adapting to life in the United States, her path to becoming a family physician, and the inspiration behind writing her memoir, Flowers of Kindergarten.Interested in learning more about my telehealth direct specialty care practice?

The One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce has repeatedly declared that he doesn't ‘believe in multiculturalism'. But the reality on the ground in his NSW electorate of New England suggests otherwise. Joyce supported a campaign for the town of Armidale to become a refugee resettlement centre, but as a member of One Nation, his party advocates for a 'monocultural' Australia and for restricting migration to those who can speak English. Nour Haydar speaks to the Guardian's community affairs reporter Adeshola Ore about what she learned on the ground from Armidale's growing refugee community – and from an interview with Joyce himself

In this episode with Matthew Soerens and Issam Smeir, we touch on something that has shaped my faith - sitting across a table from refugees until a statistic became a person with a name. A decade after the first edition of Seeking Refuge, the number of forcibly displaced people has doubled to roughly 120 million, yet care for the vulnerable has become one of the most politicized issues in American culture and the American church. We work to untangle fear and misinformation from biblical conviction, dig into the parable of the Good Samaritan, and ask what it looks like to stop, come closer, and respond.Matthew Soerens is the Vice President of Advocacy and Policy for World Relief. Dr. Issam Smeir is a psychologist focused on trauma treatment for victims of persecution and torture who also works at World Relief. They're coauthors, along with Stephan Bauman, of the newly updated book Seeking Refuge: The Human Face of the Global Refugee Crisis (Moody Publishers, 2026).Matthew and Issam's Book:Seeking RefugeMatthew's Recommendation:The Faithful InnkeeperConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@shiftingculturepodcast.comGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

Though President Donald Trump came back to the White House with broad support for his border policies, his Administration's immigration crackdown has been broadly unpopular. The staff writer Jonathan Blitzer spoke with two representatives in Congress about the blowback: Jason Crow, of Colorado, and María Salazar, of Florida. Crow is one of the Democratic Party's recruitment co-chairs for the midterm elections, a role that entails helping candidates figure out what to say about issues that have proved controversial for their party. Salazar, whose district includes much of Miami, is a diehard Trump supporter, but many of her Republican constituents are outraged at how ICE has been operating, and she remains hopeful that the Administration might make a sharp turn. “Mr. President, you've got to change the way when it comes to immigration,” she'd like to tell him. “Otherwise, we're not going to have a Republican Party.” Further listening: “A Member of the ‘Seditious Six' on Reviving the Democratic Party,” an episode of The Political Scene featuring Jason Crow New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday.

In 2025, as ICE was struggling to meet an impossible goal of three thousand immigration arrests per day, the agency took an unprecedented step: picking people up when they arrived at immigration court. These were immigrants seeking legal status through appropriate channels. The staff writer Jonathan Blitzer, who has been reporting on immigration for over a decade, tells the story of one man detained this way, a Guinean refugee who was seeking asylum after a severe beating and death threats by his government. His first name is Alsainy, and his story exemplifies the ways that the Trump Administration is sabotaging the system of legal immigration.  Though President Donald Trump came back to the White House with broad support for his border policies, his Administration's immigration crackdown has been broadly unpopular.

1 · SummaryPart 2 of 2. Part 1 laid out the bet: a fund built only for Indian consumer brands, back when the idea sounded absurd, and the anti-power-law machine Kanwal Singh built to make it work. This half is the person. The near-decade at Hindustan Lever that gave him his love of consumer, the Intel years, and the Paper Boat conviction that taught him to back the founder over the idea. Then the man himself: parents who came to India as refugees from Pakistan, a father who kept collecting degrees while feeding the family, the coach he started seeing in his sixties and what separates coaching from therapy, and how he reads a founder by meeting their family. He turned down twice the money he could have raised.

Daniel Rood, author of In the Shadow of the Great House, describes how, during the Siege of Yorktown, Cornwallisprioritized British sugar profits in Jamaica over the lives of thousands of black refugees, pushing them out to starve or face recapture. In contrast, the American "patriots" used human property as a military recruitment tool, offering poor white soldiers land and "one healthy sound negro" for their service. This strategy hardened the link between slavery and freedom for white Americans, ensuring the plantation system's survival long after the Revolution concluded. (12)1800
