    Food for Thought: The Joys and Benefits of Living Vegan
    How Religions Have Shaped the Foods We Eat: Popular Plant-Based Foods with Religious Roots

    Religious traditions have played a significant role in shaping many familiar dishes. Over the centuries, abstaining from eating meat and other animal products for spiritual reasons led to creative, plant-based recipes that have since become cultural staples. I think this matters because it helps legitimize plant-based eating as something deeply rooted in cultural and historical tradition—not a fad or modern invention. It reminds us that meatless eating has long been a meaningful, creative, and essential part of human food culture, shaped by values, ethics, and necessity. And by centering these stories in our collective memory, we reclaim a rich legacy—and challenge the idea that animal products must, or always have, sat at the center of every meal. Enjoy! ——————

    For decades, we've been reporting on the ways the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) crushes the religious freedom of its citizens. But in recent years, the CCP has been escalating its tactics against a religious group here—on American soil.In this episode, I sit down with religious freedom lawyers Justin Butterfield and Lea Patterson to understand what's going on and discuss their response to a recent lawsuit against Shen Yun, the performing arts company founded by Falun Gong practitioners in New York. The case touches on vital questions about what it means to be able to practice your faith—and guide the education of your children in America.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

    Islam Exposed: The History They Don't Want You to Know Historian and author Raymond Ibrahim joins The Winston Marshall Show for a powerful, eye-opening conversation on the hidden history of Islam's conquest of the Christian world—and why so few dare to speak about it today. Raymond traces the rapid Islamic expansion following Muhammad's death, showing how, within just one century, Muslim armies had violently overrun three-quarters of the original Christian world—from Syria and Egypt to Spain and deep into Europe. He dismantles the myth of Andalusian "tolerance," reveals the brutal realities behind the so-called Islamic Golden Age, and explains how the Islamic conquests shattered the Mediterranean world, plunging Europe into the Dark Ages. Raymond explores the modern censorship around Christian persecution, the resurgence of historical jihadist rhetoric in groups like ISIS, and the urgent lessons today's leaders refuse to learn. All this—the real story of the Crusades, the lost Christian heartlands, the enduring legacy of conquest, and the history the mainstream media won't touch… Watch this interview and lots of great content on the War with Islam at- https://youtu.be/DHCtp0uU4AQ?si=sF4iMRlXYo2yr_38 Raymond Ibrahim 52.3K subscribers 170,600 views May 11, 2025 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:00 – Introduction 01:37 – Who is Raymond Ibrahim? 02:21 – Personal Background: Egyptian Heritage and Academic Journey 05:00 – From Academia to Writing: A New Path 06:08 – Key Works: Sword and Scimitar and Christian Persecution 07:12 – The Impact of His Work and Public Controversy 10:00 – The Battle of Yarmouk: Turning Point in Islamic Expansion 12:10 – The Expansion of Islam: From Arabia to the Christian World 17:07 – The Battle of Tours: Stopping the Islamic Advance 20:00 – The Dark Ages: How Islam Shaped Europe's Future 25:00 – Why Was the Muslim Conquest So Successful? 28:50 – The Reconquista: A Slow and Steady Christian Resistance 33:13 – Andalusia: Myths of Peaceful Coexistence 40:00 – The Seljuk Turks and Pre-Crusade Persecutions 44:10 – Pope Urban II and the Call for the First Crusade 50:00 – The Crusades: Misunderstood or Justified? 55:30 – The Battle of Manzikert and the Beginning of the Crusades 1:00:00 – Charlemagne and the Rise of Christian Defensiveness 1:05:00 – Early Relations Between Islam and the West 1:10:30 – The Persecution of Christians in the Middle East 1:15:00 – Crusades: Religious Wars or Defensive Actions? 1:20:00 – The Myths of Islamic Golden Age Contributions 1:25:00 – Crusades and Their Aftermath: The Long-Lasting Impact 1:30:00 – The Religious and Ideological Roots of the Conflict 1:35:00 – Western Misunderstanding of Islamic History 1:40:00 – The Rise of Jihadism and Modern Conflicts 1:45:00 – The Importance of Historical Context in Modern Conflicts 1:50:00 – The Ongoing Persecution of Christians 1:55:00 – Reflections on Western Values and Islamic Influence 2:00:00 – Conclusion: Understanding the Past to Navigate the Future --------------------------------------------------------------------  Help Support ACU.

    Too many people see Jesus as a good man, a nice man, a charitable and kind man -- but nothing more. Even many Christians fail to have a proper relationship with Jesus, seeing Him as someone to worship during Sunday services, only to forget about Monday through Saturday. A personal relationship with Jesus is a must, however. It's impossible to live a life of fullness -- it's impossible to live out life in a manner that's planned by God -- without a one-on-one walk with Jesus. Be a Jesus freak, says Nina May, co-producer of the based-on-true movie "Jesus Freaks." You won't regret the life that comes.

    What if the very system you trust to bring you closer to God is actually pulling you away from His grace—and true freedom is found somewhere you might not expect? In Galatians 5, Paul reminds us that true freedom comes not from religious rule-keeping or law-based performance, but from living by the Spirit through faith in Christ alone.--The Unveiling Mormonism podcast pulls back the curtain on Mormon history, culture and doctrine.

True righteousness comes by faith alone.Big Idea: Christ set us free—don't return to a system of religious control.Illustration: Jesus didn't come to give us a new set of religious rules. He came to set us free (Matthew 11:28-30).Section 2: The Danger of Legalism (Galatians 5:7-12)Galatians 5:7-12 (NLT)The Galatians were running well until false teachers led them astray, adding law-keeping to the gospel.

    'Hope is a political choice': MK Gilad Kariv on the fight for democracy and Reform Judaism in Netanyahu's wartime Israel

    Religious extremism and intolerance of liberal Judaism has spread from the ultra-Orthodox and ultra-nationalist parties into the mainstream of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud Party, MK Gilad Kariv said on the Haaretz Podcast. “This is not the Likud that we knew 10 or 20 years ago,” he said. “Any attempt to differentiate the Likud from the Israeli extreme religious right is a false attempt.” Kariv, a rabbi and former leader of Israel’s Reform movement, is a member of the Democrats Party. He spoke to podcast host Allison Kaplan Sommer shortly after he was ejected from a Knesset committee when he dared to mention that his daughter prays with tefillin – the leather scrolls and straps that Jews wrap around themselves in prayer. Galit Distel Atbaryan, the Likud member presiding over the session told Kariv, “If you conduct a bar mitzvah for a dog, I will come and celebrate.” She then ordered that the “Reform man” be removed because “The Jews here want to continue.” Kariv also discussed growing concerns that Israel’s next election may not be fully democratic, pointing to calls in Netanyahu’s camp to disqualify Arab parties and weaken judicial oversight. “We have real reasons to suspect that they may not cancel the elections or physically prevent people from voting, but they have many other tools. The only solution to this danger is to make sure that our political camp is extremely proactive in preventing the use of these tactics.” Kariv rejected the idea that it was Netanyahu’s political skills that had helped him stave off threats by the ultra-Orthodox parties – namely, that they would dissolve his coalition if Netanyahu did not pass legislation exempting them from military service. “If you don't have principles and you're willing to do whatever it takes in order to survive, it doesn't demand political wisdom.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Religious Hypocrisy (Romans 2:17-29)

    Summary In this sermon, Dr. Michael Easley unpacks Romans 2:17–29, where Paul confronts religious hypocrisy among the Jews in Rome. Though they boast in the law, claim to know God's will, and present themselves as moral guides, Paul warns that their actions betray their claims. When believers condemn sin while committing the same, they dishonor God and cause His name to be blasphemed. Dr. Easley highlights how spiritual privilege—like bearing the name "Jew," possessing the law, or having the sign of circumcision—does not excuse hypocrisy. Instead, it demands authentic obedience. Paul insists that true identity before God is not about outward signs, but about inward transformation—a heart changed by the Spirit, not the letter of the law. The same is true for Christians today. It's not enough to appear religious; God desires inward change. Dr. Easley reminds us that we are all "consistently inconsistent" in our walks with Christ, and when we fail, we must acknowledge it, confess it, and seek forgiveness. That kind of humility has a profound impact, even on those far from faith. The goal isn't religious performance—it's genuine heart change through Christ. Takeaways: Spiritual status means nothing without obedience to God's Word. Religious hypocrisy causes God's name to be blasphemed. Outward signs like circumcision are meaningless without inward change. God desires heart-level transformation, not surface-level religion. When Christians live inconsistently, humility and confession build credibility. True obedience is rooted in salvation, not spiritual pride. To read the book of Romans, click here.
