The Todd Herman Show, produced by Grok:GROK - Podcast Episode Outline: "Faith in the Fight: How Democrats and Republicans Weaponize Christianity for Power"Episode Title: Faith in the Fight: How Democrats and Republicans Weaponize Christianity for PowerAir Date: Monday, November 17, 2025 (Recorded live from the studio on November 15)Host: [Your Host's Name], award-winning journalist and political commentatorProducer Notes: This episode unpacks the cynical ways both major U.S. parties invoke Christian faith to rally voters and justify policies in 2025's polarized landscape. With Trump's second term sparking debates over "Christian nationalism" via Project 2025 and Democrats countering with progressive "faith outreach" amid immigration raids and shutdown fallout, we'll highlight how scripture is twisted for electoral gain. Drawing on fresh polls, articles, and video clips, the show reveals the moral asymmetries and hypocrisies. Runtime: 50 minutes. Tone: Provocative yet balanced, blending outrage with nuance and guest debates. Music: Somber choral opener evoking hymns, shifting to urgent percussion for policy clashes.Episode Structure & Script Teaser1. Cold Open (0:00–3:00)Audio Hook: Montage of Trump's Bible-waving rally clips, Pelosi quoting St. Francis during the shutdown, and evangelical pastors endorsing deportations as "God's will."2. Segment 1: The Polls – What Christians Really Think (and Vote) (3:00–12:00)Focus: Dive into data showing stark divides: White evangelicals' lockstep GOP loyalty vs. Black Protestants' Democratic tilt, with independents disillusioned by both sides' faith pandering. Host reads synopses aloud, weaving in analysis on how parties exploit these splits.Key Talking Points:White Christians (41% of voters) gave Trump 72% support in 2024, per PRRI, seeing him as "God-ordained" (60% of white evangelicals agree). Republicans leverage this for anti-abortion and immigration policies framed as "biblical mandates."Black Protestants (83% for Harris) and Hispanic Catholics (50% Dem lean) prioritize social justice, which Democrats tie to "welcoming the stranger" (Matthew 25).Overall, 25% of voters believe God picked Trump; Christian nationalism correlates perfectly with Trump votes in red states. But 62% oppose declaring the U.S. a "Christian nation," signaling backlash to GOP theocracy pushes.Poll/SourceSynopsisLinkPRRI 2024 Post-Election American Values SurveyWhite Christians (41% of voters) backed Trump 72%, with 60% of white evangelicals believing God "ordained" his win; Black Protestants favored Harris 83%. Highlights GOP's "divine mandate" narrative vs. Dems' justice focus, but only 25% overall see God's hand in elections.PRRI.orgPew Research Center 2025 Survey on Religion & Politics59% of Protestants lean GOP, 50% of Catholics Republican (up from even split); 67% of Republicans want Bible influencing laws vs. 32% of Dems. Reveals parties' faith appeals: GOP pushes "Christian morals in policy," Dems emphasize church-state separation.PewResearch.orgPRRI 2025 State-Level Christian Nationalism SurveySupport for Christian nationalism (highest in MS/OK at 51%) perfectly correlates with Trump votes; 62% nationally oppose U.S. as "Christian nation." Exposes GOP's state-level theocracy push (e.g., embryo rulings) vs. Dems' opposition as "extremism."PRRI.org3. Segment 2: The Articles – Scripture as Strategy (12:00–28:00)Focus: Explore how Republicans fuse faith with nationalism (Project 2025) while Democrats rebrand as "compassionate Christians" on immigration and equity. Host discusses synopses, contrasting GOP's "moral restoration" with Dems' "perversion of Christianity" critiques.Key Talking Points:GOP: Project 2025 as "Christian nationalist fever dream," redefining freedom "by God, not man" to justify anti-LGBTQ+ and abortion bans.Dems: Shift to faith outreach (e.g., Pelosi's St. Francis invocation) to counter "Christian fascism," but accused of ignoring biblical basics like life sanctity.Both: Historical "poisonous bargain" since Reagan, turning faith into votes while eroding morals. X post [post:61] nails it: Pastors must call out Dem platform's "detestable" policies.Guest Spot: Historian [Guest Name] (e.g., Kristin Du Mez) debates a GOP strategist on whether Dems' "Christian socialism" or GOP's "theocracy" is the bigger threat.Producer Tip: Read X post [post:54] excerpt: "Dems enshrine sin in platform; GOP does not."

Just like many of the golf courses around Augusta, Georgia, we too were designed by a creator. The ultimate designer of life itself, God, has designed each of us uniquely and perfectly to fulfill one purpose. We're going to take a journey over the next several weeks and look at what God's designed us to do, who He's designed us to be, and what we're called to do in the world that we live in.

In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Joe takes a deep look at how not all belief systems lead to the same outcomes — and why the Gospel stands out uniquely in shaping a world where every human life has dignity. Drawing from Scripture and real-world examples, he explains that every religion produces a kind of fruit, but only Jesus uses power to serve rather than dominate.Have an article you'd like Pastor Zach to discuss?

Along with opening the Monday Mailbag, Carmen talks about the attention given to monks harvesting olives on the Mount of Olives. She also talks about a neighbor and their no soliciting sign that includes those who would evangelize.  How do we balance the right to practice your religion, the call to share the Gospel, and respecting the wishes of the person?  Politcial and social scientist Daniel Bennett looks at the continued decline of religiousity in American and talks more about the "nones," in particular those who are "spiritual, but not religious," and those who are "done" with religion.  Faith Radio podcasts are made possible by your support.

What does it look like to live a life shaped by the gospel, not just saved by it?In this first message of the Made to Serve series, John Gunter preaches from Philippians 1 and 2, calling the church to unity, humility, and Christlike service. This message challenges listeners to look beyond personal comfort and embrace the mindset of Jesus, who emptied himself, became a servant, and gave his life as an example for us to follow.Key Takeaways:Unity is not about agreeing on everything. It is about agreeing on the most important thingHumility lifts others up instead of lifting yourself upA gospel-shaped life reflects Jesus in relationships, service, and sacrifice

This message is rooted in the 7 Woes Jesus spoke to the Pharisees (Religious Leaders) in Matthew 23:13-32. Jesus calls out the religious leaders as hypocritical and blind. He refers to them as snakes and a brood of vipers. These powerful verses beg the question as to whether we are religious or faithful followers of Jesus? Elder Charlie Temple will explore a spiritual comparison of religion versus faith using the words of Jesus. It is time to reflect on the differences between a religious walk and a journey of faith.

What does it look like when Jesus truly changes someone? Carl walks us through Romans 6 to show how the act of baptism declares that the old life is gone and Jesus has made us new.

Join Pastor Derek Walker from the Oxford Bible Church as he explores the profound connections between the Gospel and the Year of Jubilee. Discover how the Gospel message, as preached by Jesus, fulfills the Old Testament Typology of the Jubilee—a time of liberation, restoration, and divine grace. He delves into the origins of the Gospel in the Old Testament, its central role in the New Testament, and its significance for believers today. This enlightening session highlights the transformative power of the Gospel as a 'now message' calling for faith, repentance, and the acknowledgment of Christ's sacrifice.

Der reiche Jüngling – Teil 5 (Mt 19,21; Mk 10,22.23; Lk 18,23.24)

November 16, 2025 (PM) - Pastor Aron Geissinger - Matthew 6:5-8

Ref.: Josef Müller, Bestsellerautor ("Ziemlich bester Schurke") und Redner, Fürstenfeldbruck bei München Schon die ersten christlichen Gemeinden waren versucht, in Aktivismus unterzugehen und die erste Liebe zu Gott zu vergessen. Und in einer Zeit voller Ablenkungen und Möglichkeiten ist die Versuchung noch viel größer. In der Lebenshilfe beschreibt uns der beliebte Redner und Autor des Bestsellers "Ziemlich bester Schurke", warum für Christen die leidenschaftliche Liebe zu Gott an erster Stelle stehen sollte - und wie man sie findet.

As we draw near to the end of the Gospel of Luke, Fr. Mike briefly expands on the story of the poor widow's offering, emphasizing that the Lord cares more about the size of our hearts than about the size of our gifts. Fr. Mike also underscores Jesus' moving words to Peter when he foretells Peter's denial. Jesus' words remind us that no matter how fiercely the enemy tries to attack us, he is always praying for each and every one of us. Today's readings are Luke 20-22:38 and Proverbs 26:17-19.

God's greatest gift to us is the gift of spiritual life...

In Luke 8, Jesus meets a man everyone else had given up on and shows that nothing is too broken or too far gone for him to reclaim. We're reminded that we have a Savior who refuses to let our past, our wounds, or our brokenness have the final word. Wherever you are today, there is hope—because Jesus is still rewriting stories.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrCSupport the show

"The similarity between Freud and Kohelet [Ecclesiastes] is that both of them believe that there's no overarching totalistic system that  integrates all the disparate experiences that one has. You have that, Freud says, in psychotics, and you have that in philosophers, and you have that in devout people -  they look for systematicity. They try to cram everything into a framework of meaning. Both Freud and Kohelet reject that. They don't have a worldview in that way. However, in order to flourish, you do need a meaning-giving, affect-integrating and action-guiding set of considerations. You can't just be out there like a windowless monad floating around. There are some core beliefs and values that anchor a person, that give them footing. So there's a difference between a totalizing worldview and a workable framework that's open to critique."  Episode Description: We begin with a brief reading from On Transience and Ecclesiastes and consider how they both belong to 'Wisdom Literature' while separated by over 2000 years. Paul points out that while Freud works from a linear sense of time, Ecclesiastes (Kohelet) is drawn to the cycles of nature and human experience. He provides clinical examples that he feels are enriched by considering the teachings of Ecclesiastes which are very similar to the psychoanalytic way of thinking - "one must learn to live with what cannot be altered," the importance of the "downsizing of infantile narcissism," and  recognizing that "pleasure and joy are palpable, sensual and concrete experiences." We discuss the importance of an object-related life that includes forgiveness and gratitude as well as "embracing resignation without despair." We conclude with the deeply moving time poem "To every thing there is a season/ and a time to every purpose under heaven..."   Our Guest: Paul Marcus, PhD is a training and supervising analyst at the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis in New York and Co-chair of the discussion group Psychoanalysis and Spirituality in the American Psychoanalytic Association. He is the author/editor of 25 books including The Spiritual Resistance of Rabbi Leo Baeck: Psychoanalysis and Religion. He is the editor of Psychoanalytic Review.   Recommended Readings: Seow, C.L. 1997, Ecclesiastes: A New Translation. New Haven: Yale University Press   Fox, M. V., 2004, Ecclesiastes, Philadelphia: Jewish Publication Society   Heim, K.M., 2019, Ecclesiastes, Downers Grove: IVP Academic   

The visible surge of “Christian Nationalism” ignited in 2016 with Trump, which re-energized post-2024 election. However, has faith become politically branded with a lobby to entice voting in the Christian churches? We have to wonder if that Christian movement rose as a spiritual force to platform God, or has just become a promise to reclaim America for God under political means and operates as just another form of control. Is the Dominionism system of the NAR really for taking over spiritually for Jesus Christ, or a front for a false kingdom that replaces true faith with political allegiance?

Light The Night! by Pastor Richie Ray

the Religion Business is a docu-series that focuses on churches that expend great energy and efforts to ensure they do not have to be transparent with how they spend the tithes and donations people give, in the name of Jesus.

We begin today's message with a quote from an unnamed Native American, who said, "How to walk on the earth like a child of God, man does not know." In the Bible, John tells us that as Christians we are to walk even as Jesus walked. Surely this is not telling us the mechanics of putting one foot in front of the other. So let's spend the next few minutes looking at what is meant by "The Christian's Walk." Thank you for joining us in worship today from Ocean Lakes Family Campground.

Infinite Plane Saturnday 11/15/25This podcast features a host discussing various conspiracy theories and sociopolitical critiques with callers and chat participants. Central themes include the concept of “psyops” (psychological operations), the perceived fakery of global events and media narratives, and the idea that both mainstream and alternative media are part of a larger, controlling system. The conversation frequently references simulated events like the Charlie Kirk shooting hoax, the use of archetypes and occult subtexts in mass media, and the dangers of passively accepting a “mass collectively agreed upon delusion,” suggesting that resistance requires rejecting the narratives of both mainstream and alternative spheres.The discussion covers a range of interconnected topics focusing on media fakery, psychological operations (psyops), and the nature of the current global reality, often referring to it as the “world stage” or the “Truman Show”.Here are the bullet points covering the main topics discussed in the source:Media and Psychological Operations (Psyops): The pervasive nature of psyops, characterized by a barrage of distracting events (e.g., stabbings, shootings, plane crashes). These events are described as “bread and circuses” designed to absorb time and attention. The purpose of psyops is context, suggestibility, and conditioning the public for future events.Fabricated History and Metascripting: The belief that historical and contemporary events are proactively planned and staged decades in advance, referred to as history bending or following a “meta script”. Major figures like James Cameron and Stephen King are identified as “metascriptors” whose work contains predictive content influencing public perception.AI and Societal Takeover: The theory that Artificial Intelligence (AI) will fulfill the role of the anticipated “alien invasion” by demonstrating superior intelligence and solving human problems, ultimately leading humanity to submit to it. AI on the world stage will reinforce the mainstream “Wikipedia version of reality” due to its programming.AI in Religion and Personal Life: Instances of churches adopting AI, such as the creation of AI Charlie Kirk and AI-powered chatbots (AI Jesus) for confession and spiritual advice. There is also discussion of horrifying apps that create “digital clones of deceased loved ones” based on their past content, raising concerns about necromancy and the misinformation effect on memories.The Political Duopoly and Controlled Opposition: Rejection of the political sphere, including figures like Candace Owens, Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro, and Nick Fuentes, viewing them as “clowns” or “Poe's” (parodies of extremism) who do not believe what they say and function as provocateurs. The left/right divide is viewed as manufactured outrage and psychological warfare designed to keep the population within a “mainstream box”.Critique of Alternative Media (Red Pill/Woke Right): Alternative media is framed as a “honeypot” or “cul-de-sac” designed to put a leash on free thinkers and prevent them from exiting the worldview established by the world stage. This segment of media often focuses on specific scapegoat narratives (J-pill, Israel, Democrats) that are themselves based on fake events.Skepticism and Methodology: The necessity of adopting a skeptical methodology, referred to as “informed disbelief,” to navigate the “closed informational system”. The aim is to approach events like anthropologists, judging performances rather than reacting to them emotionally, thereby avoiding weaponization in the psychological war.The Charlie Kirk Event: Detailed analysis of the alleged assassination attempt as a high-profile psyop, noting indications like the number 33 being associated with the time frame of its investigation. The event is framed as creating a “martyr” for the “woke right” that mirrors the martyrdom narrative of George Floyd for the woke left, complete with coinciding birth dates.SynopsisThe core of the discussion centers on the premise that global reality is an engineered construction, a “Truman Show” managed through pervasive psychological operations (psyops) and sophisticated media fakery. This engineered environment is described as the “PSYOP entertainment complex,” where government, media, entertainment, and religion function as a unified, centralized entity. The objective is total control and the consolidation of worldview, achieved by proactively scripting and simulating major historical events decades in advance, a process known as history bending.Political and media figures (such as Candace Owens, Charlie Kirk, and Ben Shapiro) are considered manufactured characters or “clowns”. Their actions and the manufactured outrage they provoke are mechanisms of the political horseshoe and the left-right dialectic, which acts as a “steam valve” to distract the masses from recognizing the nature of the underlying ubiquitous world order.

La COP 30 (Conférence sur les changements climatiques), grand rendez-vous pour tenter de s'entendre au niveau mondial dans la lutte contre le changement climatique, s'est ouverte à Belém au Brésil, aux portes de la forêt amazonienne. 10 ans après les Accords de Paris qui avaient fait naître l'espoir d'un effort collectif de toutes les nations du monde pour réduire les gaz à effet de serre et tenter d'inverser la tendance du réchauffement de la planète, le constat est amer. «La vérité est que nous n'avons pas réussi à maintenir le réchauffement à moins de 1,5°C», a reconnu le secrétaire général de l'ONU, Antonio Guterres. Ces efforts conjoints doivent s'exercer au niveau politique, mais en l'absence des plus grands pollueurs comme les États-Unis qui sont sortis de l'Accord de Paris et qui déploient un climato-scepticisme à travers le globe, la dynamique de l'effort n'est pas au rendez-vous. Du côté des représentants des religions dans le monde, certains tentent de s'impliquer. Qu'est-ce que les religions ont à dire sur ces questions ? Comment ces questions sont-elles relayées auprès de leurs fidèles ? Comment certaines des déclarations ont pu avoir un impact, par exemple l'encyclique du pape François, Laudato Si en 2015, qui prône la «sauvegarde de la maison commune» ? Plusieurs représentants de différentes religions et des chercheurs s'expriment dans cette émission, sur les messages et les relais auprès des communautés à travers le monde.   Invités : - Dominique Serra-Coataena, théologienne, maître de conférences en Théologie morale et éthique aux Facultés Loyola à Paris, responsable du domaine éthique, social et environnemental, présidente de l'Association des théologiennes et théologiens pour l'étude de la morale (ATEM), domaine de recherche sur la doctrine sociale de l'Église, thèse sur le Bien Commun.

Is there anything wrong with Democratic leadership being so devoutly…secular? Jon sits down for a conversation with Texas State Representative James Talarico, who put becoming an ordained minister on hold to run for US Senate. They discuss how genuine connection is the only road toward persuasion in our divided world, whether James can flip a Senate seat on a platform of loving thy neighbor, and how Republicans are trying to knock him off a pedestal with OnlyFans headlines. Plus: why Democrats should take responsibility for the growth of Christian nationalism.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

They discuss grief, PTSD, and the role of psychedelics in trauma processing.Clip 2 (Ep. 497) – Next up is a snippet from Raghu's talk with Dr. Sylvestre Quevedo, a psychedelic researcher who has practiced medicine for over 40 years. They explore how ketamine fits into the picture of psychedelics and share stories of their own experiences.Clip 3 (Ep. 505) – We move on to a discussion with Paul Austin, an entrepreneur, author, and coach. He and Raghu talk about how psychedelics can help us remember who we truly are and the potential they hold for healing relationships.Clip 4 (Ep. 563) – Next, we have neuropharmacologist Stephanie Karzon Abrams. She and Raghu discuss bridging the gap between science and spirit, and how psychedelics can help change our perspectives.Clip 5 (Ep. 596) – The final clip is from a conversation between Raghu and neuroscientist Gül Dölen. They talk about how psychedelics induce meta-plasticity and why “critical periods” after psychedelic therapies are similar to the Buddhist concept of beginner's mind.“But really, what psychedelics are teaching us is the importance of presence, how to listen, how to slow down, right? They're helping to sort of take us out of this rigamarole, this hamster wheel of existence, and see that another way of being is actually possible. And really, what's required more than anything is a loving, compassionate presence.” – Paul AustinSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Former Intel CEO Patrick Gelsinger has secured $110 million to develop "Christian AI" through his company, GLUE, hoping to accelerate the second coming of Christ with server farms instead of faith. The panel dissects this brazen attempt to hardwire theology into technology, arguing that this is merely lobbying with excessive tech money and a dangerous act of desperation. We explore how faith-driven AI restricts knowledge, shapes minds, and threatens secular democracy by pushing public policy further toward a costly and contradictory theocracy. Will a new algorithm erase millennia of biblical contradictions? We doubt it.News Source:Patrick Gelsinger Christian AIBy Adam Willems for The GuardianOctober 28th, 2025

Fr. Mike confronts the hard truth Jesus preaches in today's readings: Many people will ultimately choose hell over heaven. While this can be deeply distressing, Fr. Mike reminds us to focus on Jesus's directive to each one of us: "[You] Strive to enter through the narrow gate." In the second part of today's commentary, Fr. Mike reflects on two of Jesus' most well-known parables: the parable of the Lost Sheep and the parable of the Prodigal Son. Today's readings are Luke 13-16 and Proverbs 26:10-12.
