In the midst of collapse, as we watch our governments lay waste to our social agreements, it can be hard to imagine extending the franchise of legal rights to Nature and the More than Human world.  And yet, if we're to transcend this moment, it must be because we have become something other than we are now - and to do this, we need the roadmaps that show us how to move through, and beyond, the collapse of the old into something new. We spoke to Ally Pimor about this a couple of weeks ago and when I first met her, I also met this week's guest and they had so much to say that I wanted to talk to each of them.  So with this in mind, this week's guest is Brontie Ansell, the founder and co-director of Lawyers for Nature. Brontie founded Lawyers for Nature in 2019 with the (fairly infamous) barrister Paul Powlesland, they are a collective of lawyers who act to represent Nature. They reimagine the law for Nature and advocate for Nature to be given legal rights through education, Nature centric governance, consultancy, research and advocacy. Last year Lawyers for Nature were behind the We Are Nature campaign that sought to change the dictionary definition of Nature at the Oxford English Dictionary to include humans as part of Nature. Brontie was one of the key legal architects behind the Nature on the Board project at Faith in Nature and she was the first human to act as the Nature Guardian speaking on behalf of Nature at the company Faith in Nature, giving Nature a voice and a vote on a corporate board for the first time in history. She then went on to design the legal apparatus to appoint Nature and the voice of future generations to the board of House of Hackney, a company that credits Nature as their most important muse. Most recently she was advising the Comisiwn Seilwaith Cenedlaethol Cymru/National Infrastructure Commission for Wales on their Nature Representation pilot. She features heavily in both Simeon Rose's new book Nature's Boardroom and Frieda Gormley's book In the Company of Nature. She has been a lecturer in law for 15 years, most recently at the University of Essex where she was an associate professor at Essex Law School. Brontie has taught courses on Rights of Nature, climate justice, employment law and land law. Her work is informed by the global rights of nature movement and she is grateful to all who came before her to create the bedrock for work she does. Brontie talks to me about what a society could look like if we really reformed the meaning of ‘justice for all', and started to understand Nature and aspects of Nature as a subject of law.Because of the times we're in, I felt I could not ignore the shocking events that occurred in America this past week week and so we started with a quote from Elliott Morris and Strength in Numbers, which I was confusing with another organisation - Strength in Numbers is, in fact, a Substack blog -  well worth reading. I've put a link in the show notes, along with a few others that I think are worth adding to your must-read list every morning.  Last week - with his permission - I read a bit from one of these, by Oliver Kornetzke as part of the intro (hi Ollie if you're still listening!). I'm not going to make a habit of this every week, but I want to read something from Jackie Summers blog, Field Notes for Cracking An Empire, where she says, “If you've been reading my work for the last few years, none of this should be surprising. The old narratives are gone. This is what fascism looks like in real time. First, ICE agents killed Renee Nicole Good, a white woman. Now they've murdered Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old US citizen. A nurse with no criminal record. White women's bodies were supposed to be sacrosanct. Respectable professionals were supposed to be “off-limits.” That's no longer the case. For Black people, this country has always been fascist. What's new is who else is inside the blast radius. The Venn diagram of “safe” and “endangered” is now a circle. If you're shaken, it's not just grief. It's narrative whiplash. The distance between “this can't happen” and “it just did, on camera” no longer exists. You have choices. You can either cling to the lie and let someone else keep paying. Or pay the cost of updating the story about this country. About who is “safe,” about what you're willing to do now that protections are gone. I've said it before, the empire can handle outrage. It has no defense against empathy at scale. Outrage spikes, trends, and fades. Empathy—“it can be me; it already is them”—changes what people are willing to risk and protect. This is recruitment by atrocity. Your blood spilled red in the streets, just like ours. It shouldn't take this. It always has."There follows one of the most cogent, clear, useful, grounded lists of how we can all join what has been called well-organised Anarchists. And if that's what we are, I'm not sure that's bad.  At the end, Jackie writes - If you're going out, your first job is coming home. If you're staying home, your first job is staying human.  I'm writing this from the privilege and safety of a rural home in the UK.  Wherever you are in the world, please look after each other. And for ideas on how we can transcend this moment, to start reimagining a world which sees us as humans who reconnect with each other and with Nature, and give Nature the rights it deserves to thrive, please listen on to Brontie Ansell and her beautiful models of Quiet Romance, Care, Guardianship and justice for all life. Linkshttps://www.lawyersfornature.com/https://immersives.pioneerspost.com/lawyers-leading-nature/index.htmlhttps://greenallianceblog.org.uk/2022/09/22/giving-nature-a-seat-on-the-board-is-a-powerful-way-to-make-sure-businesses-protect-our-environment/https://nationalinfrastructurecommission.wales/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/NICW_NOTB_LFN-Final-Report.pdfhttps://www.houseofhackney.com/pages/nature-our-directorhttps://www.natureontheboard.com/https://bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/professional-business/natures-boardroomhttps://www.waterstones.com/book/in-the-company-of-nature/frieda-gormley/9781645023500https://www.ukrightsofnature.org/https://wearenature.org/

How powerful are your words—really? In this episode, we open James 1:26 and James 3 to expose the “respectable sins” of the tongue: gossip, slander, lying, crude talk, and careless words. Scripture is clear: the tongue reveals the heart, and unchecked speech can lead to self-deception and spiritual harm.This episode is sponsored by The Master's University. To learn more about how you can invest in a college education devoted to Christ & Scripture, visit: https://www.masters.eduWe walk through five biblical realities about the tongue—why it's powerful, restless, foul, prone to lying, and deadly through gossip—and why believers must bridle the tongue for the glory of God. If you've ever brushed off gossip as “not that serious,” these passages will challenge you.Subscribe for more Bible teaching and practical discipleship conversations.

Aaron Lee | January 25, 2026 | Youth Sunday SchoolHow can we deal with our tendencies towards worldliness? It is not by determining that we will not be worldly, but by committing ourselves to becoming more godly. We need to grow in our relationship with him and begin to view all aspects of life through the lens of his glory.https://www.diveindigdeep.com/blog/messages/respectable-sins-worldliness

What do we reach for when life feels uncomfortable, confusing, or heavy? In this episode, we explore how distraction, numbing, and limiting beliefs can quietly keep us stuck—spiritually, emotionally, and physically. This conversation is for Christian women who want clarity instead of confusion, peace instead of just pushing through, and a faith-centered way to think about healing and forward movement. Together, we reflect on Scripture, freedom in Christ, and what it means to stop numbing and start paying attention to what God may be inviting us to face. Distraction, Numbing, and the Cost of Avoidance We live in a culture filled with noise and “respectable” distractions. While many of these things aren't inherently wrong, they can become ways we avoid discomfort, grief, or truth. Over time, numbing keeps us from facing what needs healing and from experiencing the joy that comes from walking in our calling. Freedom Has Value in Itself Galatians 5:1 reminds us that Christ set us free for freedom itself. This verse points to God's heart—freedom is not just a means to an end; it matters on its own. When we live distracted or numb, we often settle for less than what Christ already made available to us. Limiting Beliefs That Keep Us Stuck Many women carry quiet beliefs that shape their health and spiritual choices: “I've always been sick.” “I'll never change.” “The Bible is too hard to understand.” These beliefs can slowly steal motivation and hope. It Is Not Too Late to Begin Again No matter your age, history, or past decisions, it is never too late to make a different choice. While salvation is a free gift received through faith, our daily decisions still matter. The steps we take today can influence our peace, our health, and the way we live out our calling. When God Doesn't Give a Clear Answer There are seasons when we ask God for direction and don't receive a clear, immediate response. In those moments, discernment may look less like waiting and more like taking one faithful step. Sometimes God invites us to move forward and trust that He will guide us along the way. Time-Stamped Highlights 00:00 – A reflective question about numbing and healing 00:09 – Galatians 5:1 and God's heart for freedom 00:39 – The grief of wasted potential and missed joy 01:37 – How delighting in God reshapes our desires 02:07 – Respectable distractions and subtle numbing 02:32 – “Permissible vs. beneficial” and the role of boundaries 03:30 – Limiting beliefs that quietly keep us stuck 04:25 – Why it's never too late to begin again 05:25 – Salvation by grace and why our daily choices still matter 06:50 – Freedom as something God deeply values 07:15 – Cultural lies about inevitability and helplessness 08:14 – Obedience, faith, and taking the next small step 09:12 – Turning to God instead of numbing or avoiding 09:42 – Invitation to Health Clarity Sessions and quiet gathering Key Takeaways • Freedom is something Christ intentionally offers and values • Distraction and numbing can quietly keep us from healing and growth • Limiting beliefs shape what we believe is possible for our health and faith • It is never too late to change direction or take a new step • Clarity often comes after movement, not before it • God meets us in honesty, not avoidance If this episode stirred something in you and you feel overwhelmed, unsure, or disconnected from your body and direction, you don't have to navigate it alone. I offer one-on-one Health Clarity Sessions for women who want a calm, faith-centered space to listen, discern, and identify wise next steps—without pressure or fixing.

Pastor Mark Hernandez finsihes up our Respectable Sins series out of Mark 7 with the sins of self-control, envy and jealousy!

Season 37, Episode 1 of 4This is the first episode in Foul Play's four-part investigation into Victorian England's most notorious family murder and the case that birthed modern detective fiction.Elizabeth Gough checked Francis Saville Kent's cot at five in the morning on June 30, 1860. The blankets were gone. The three-year-old was gone. And somewhere in Road Hill House, someone who knew exactly what had happened was waiting for the search to begin—On the last night of June 1860, three-year-old Francis Saville Kent was lifted from his nursery bed in the family's Wiltshire mansion. Hours later, a servant discovered his small body in the outdoor privy, his throat cut nearly to the spine.The killer came from inside the house. That much was immediately certain. But who among the nine people sleeping at Road Hill House that night would murder a child? And why?This episode traces the fractured Kent family—a household divided between a tyrannical father's first marriage and second, where teenage Constance and her brother William existed as ghosts in their own home while their half-brother Francis received everything they'd been denied. We witness the horror of discovery morning, the bungled local investigation, and the arrival of Detective Inspector Jonathan "Jack" Whicher from Scotland Yard—a working-class detective about to walk into a class warfare trap that would destroy him.Some walls don't protect families. They hide what families are capable of doing to themselves.Key Case DetailsVictim: Francis Saville Kent, age 3 years and 10 months, murdered June 29-30, 1860Location: Road Hill House, village of Road (now Rode), Wiltshire, EnglandCrime: The boy was taken from his nursery bed between midnight and five in the morning, carried through the dark house, and murdered in the outdoor privy. His throat was slashed from ear to ear with a razor or knife, cutting nearly to the spine. His body was stuffed into the privy vault and hidden among waste.Initial Investigation: Local police focused on servants and outsiders, refusing to suspect the respectable Kent family. Critical evidence—including a bloodstained nightgown belonging to sixteen-year-old half-sister Constance Kent—was destroyed by her father with police cooperation. The inquest returned "willful murder by person or persons unknown."Scotland Yard Intervention: Detective Inspector Jonathan Whicher arrived July 16, 1860, and within five days identified Constance Kent as his primary suspect—the first time in English history a young lady from a respectable family faced formal murder charges.Section 4: The Victim - Francis Saville KentFrancis Saville Kent deserves to be remembered as more than a murder victim. He was three years and ten months old—dark-haired, curious, his father's favorite child. He collected smooth stones from the garden and named them after colors. He asked endless questions about where stars came from and why dogs didn't talk. He had a stuffed rabbit he couldn't sleep without and an imaginary pack of dogs that followed him everywhere.He was learning to count but always skipped the number nine. He negotiated extra bedtime stories with remarkable persistence for a toddler. He called his half-sister Constance "Tannie" because he couldn't pronounce her name.He was three years old. Someone murdered him anyway.Section 5: Victorian True Crime ContextVictorian England in 1860 was obsessed with respectability. Gas lamps flickered in drawing rooms across the countryside while servants moved silently through service corridors. Behind heavy curtains and locked doors, families performed daily rituals of propriety—morning prayers, afternoon tea, church attendance every Sunday.The outside world saw polished brass door knockers and manicured gardens. Inside, secrets festered.The Road Hill House case shattered Victorian assumptions about where crime originated. Respectable families didn't produce murderers. Young ladies of good breeding didn't commit violence. Working-class detectives couldn't accuse gentlemen's daughters.These assumptions would destroy Detective Inspector Whicher's career—and let a killer walk free for five more years.Section 6: Historical Context & SourcesThe Road Hill House Murder became Victorian England's most notorious domestic crime and directly inspired the birth of detective fiction. Wilkie Collins used case details when writing The Moonstone (1868), widely considered the first modern detective novel. Charles Dickens followed the investigation closely and incorporated elements into his final, unfinished novel The Mystery of Edwin Drood.Detective Inspector Jonathan Whicher's methods—systematic crime scene analysis, methodical witness interviews, evidence-based deduction regardless of social class—represented revolutionary policing. His destruction by class prejudice exposed how Victorian justice protected the respectable while prosecuting the poor.Primary Source: Kate Summerscale's The Suspicions of Mr Whicher (2008) provides the most comprehensive modern account, drawing on original trial transcripts, contemporary newspaper coverage, and National Archives documents.Content Advisory: This episode contains clinical description of violence against a child, consistent with documented historical records.Section 6A: Resources & Further ReadingThe Suspicions of Mr Whicher by Kate Summerscale (2008) - Definitive modern account of the caseCruelly Murdered by Bernard Taylor (1979) - Alternative analysis exploring brother William's potential involvementThe Moonstone by Wilkie Collins (1868) - Detective fiction directly inspired by the Road Hill House investigationThe National Archives (UK) maintains original trial transcripts and investigation documents from 1860-1865Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/foul-play-crime-series/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Ghislaine Maxwell attempted to leverage her long-standing proximity to powerful political figures—most notably the Clintons—as part of a broader effort to recast herself as a peripheral player rather than a central architect of Jeffrey Epstein's sex-trafficking operation. In post-conviction filings and behind-the-scenes advocacy, Maxwell emphasized her access to former presidents, donors, and global elites as evidence of a life rooted in high-level social and political circles, implicitly arguing that such status made the prosecution's portrayal of her as a hands-on trafficker implausible. The subtext was clear: she sought to frame herself as a social facilitator who moved among the famous and influential, not as a criminal mastermind deserving of a decades-long sentence.That strategy extended to highlighting her connections to Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, suggesting—without producing exculpatory evidence—that her associations with prominent Democratic power brokers reflected legitimacy and respectability rather than criminality. Prosecutors and the court rejected this framing, noting that elite access does not negate culpability and that Maxwell's role was proven through victim testimony, corroborating evidence, and a clear pattern of conduct. Ultimately, the court made plain that political proximity would not mitigate the severity of the crimes, and Maxwell's attempt to use her relationships with the Clintons as a softening narrative failed to move the needle at sentencing.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Kate Viana, Founder of Viana Communications, shares a Client Horror Story like no other. In 2021, after leaving a nonprofit to strike out on her own, Kate was thrilled when a Texas-based client reached out. She began by improving their website—despite having little experience and doing it for free—before transitioning into consulting work. Eager to expand her expertise, Kate offered to visit the organization in person. What she discovered was shocking. At her very first dinner meeting, leaders openly backstabbed each other and spread negativity. Survey responses later confirmed what she had witnessed: a toxic, abusive workplace. During a site visit, Kate saw it firsthand when the executive director screamed at employees in front of her. Still committed, Kate compiled a detailed report outlining her observations. Instead of appreciation, she was abruptly let go. Months later, when the organization demanded access to the website and files she had created, Kate requested payment before handing anything over. That's when things spiraled. The executive director launched a campaign of harassment—bombarding Kate with emails, calls, texts, and even social media attacks. She went as far as contacting her new employers to berate her. Tune in to hear how Kate endured this ordeal and the changes she made to protect herself and her business moving forward.Morgan FriedmanKate's WebsiteKate's LinkedIn

Elder Fred Smith on the respectabel sin of judgementalism. 

durée : 00:19:40 - Lectures du soir - "Avez-vous encore autant de considération pour elle ? Ne faites-vous pas de différence entre la femme honnête en compagnie de qui vous étiez avant-hier et cette autre qui a décampé hier avec un homme totalement étranger ? – Aucune. "

If you've ever signed up for a huge race, joined a new mastermind, or taken on a massive work project right when you said you were finally going all-in on your golf game or business… this episode is going to sting a little—in the best way. In this solo conversation, I pull back the curtain on how I caught myself red-handed sabotaging my own journey to scratch by committing to a 75-mile race. On the surface, it looked disciplined, inspiring, and productive. Underneath, it was something else entirely: a socially acceptable way to avoid the emotional discomfort of fully committing to the goal that matters most to me. I call this pattern noble avoidance—and if you're a high-achieving golfer or entrepreneur, there's a very good chance it's running the show in your life too. In this episode, you'll learn: What "noble avoidance" is and how it quietly sabotages your biggest goals Why hard, impressive challenges can actually feel safer than your true dream How fear of failure, fear of success, and fear of being seen trying feed noble avoidance The subtle ways noble avoidance shows up in golf, business, fitness, and relationships 10 real-world examples so you can spot it in your own calendar and commitments Five candid reflection questions to expose where you're hiding behind "good" excuses Why "less is more" and "be boring" are the real superpowers behind scratch-level success Get your pencils ready and start listening.  P.P.S.

A goal like running 75 miles is brutally hard physically, but it can be emotionally safer than going all-in on becoming a scratch golfer. Fear of failure, fear of success, and fear of being seen truly trying are core drivers behind noble avoidance. Your subconscious is addicted to safety, familiarity, and predictability—and will recreate old patterns, even painful ones, to stay "safe." Noble avoidance often looks like rebranding, building systems, learning more, or "helping everyone else" instead of doing the uncomfortable, needle-moving work. Looking at your calendar is one of the most honest ways to see what you're truly committed to versus what you just claim to care about. Long-term success comes from doing fewer things, better—embracing boring, consistent reps instead of chasing exciting side quests. Key Quotes: "Noble avoidance is the subconscious strategy of choosing a worthy pursuit to avoid the deeper emotional discomfort of your true goal." "Underneath noble avoidance is self-protection disguised as self-improvement." "It's ambition used as armor and momentum pointed in the wrong direction." "Running 75 miles isn't easier physically—it's easier emotionally." "If I give everything and still fall short, I'm out of excuses—and that's terrifying." "Noble avoidance is still avoidance. Until you name it, you continue to serve it." "Success is built on the same boring principles executed relentlessly over and over and over."

Matthew Coller from Purple Insider joins Chad Hartman each and every Friday. Chad opens their conversation with a question about who Matthew thinks will be named starting QB ahead of the Vikings game against the Seahawks. They run through some scenarios that would impact the choice which also includes JJ McCarthy's poor play as of late. They chat about finding franchise quarterbacks in unexpected places and Max Brosmer's Brock Purdy potential. In their second segment, Matthew and Chad explore the possibility of the Vikings moving on from JJ McCarthy. Matthew thinks he will be on the team but without the assumption that he is the long term solution. He expects a competition at the position and a ton of pressure on the organization to find their answer. They also talk about what Sam Darnold has been up to in Seattle and if he is the one that got away.

Pastor Mark Hernandez on the respectable sins of impatience and irritability.

Pastor Jared Lockart on the respectable sins of pride and selfishness in our lives.

Elder Fred Smith on the "respectable sins" of ungodliness and worldliness.

The year is 1692. In a small, snowbound Puritan settlement on the edge of the Massachusetts wilderness, two young girls begin convulsing, screaming, and claiming to see dark spirits. Within weeks, their strange afflictions ignite the most infamous witch hunt in American history. In this first chapter of The Salem Witch Trials, the boys unravel the eerie beginnings of the hysteria that consumed Salem Village.It starts inside Reverend Samuel Parris's home, where his daughter Betty and niece Abigail writhe and shriek as neighbors whisper that the Devil himself has entered the village. When a local folk remedy—a “witch cake” baked with the girls' urine—is fed to a dog in secret, it backfires spectacularly, pointing suspicion toward Parris's enslaved servant, Tituba. Dragged before magistrates, Tituba confesses under pressure and spins a vivid tale of the Devil's book, spectral animals, and a coven hidden among them. Her confession doesn't calm the town—it detonates it.From there, the accusations multiply. Respectable churchgoers like Martha Corey and beloved grandmother Rebecca Nurse are suddenly named as witches. Even a four-year-old child is chained in irons. Villagers who once shared pews now turn on each other in panic. By spring, fear and superstition rule Salem.The boys dive deep into the dark psychology of the era—how religious zeal, personal grudges, and brutal living conditions created the perfect storm for mass hysteria. They explore the bizarre early investigations, the use of “spectral evidence,” and the tragic logic that if a witch could look innocent, it was only because the Devil made her so.This episode sets the stage for the horrifying trials to come—the hangings, the confessions, and the infamous pressing of Giles Corey. But before the gallows rise, Part One reveals how one cold New England winter and a few terrified children tore a community apart.Part Two will take listeners to the courtroom and the gallows, exposing the gruesome outcomes—and the haunting question that still lingers: what truly possessed Salem in 1692?www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast

We start a new series on Respectable Sins. Pastor Tyler kicks off the series giving us an overview of what sin is.

Exodus 20: 7

What comes to mind when you think of a respectable person? Perhaps someone who is put together, successful, healthy and influential. Even the world has all sorts of standards of respectability, but they sometimes differ from the biblical image. Scripture teaches that being respectable means ordering our lives according to the truth and adoring that truth with our lives. We consider three aspects of what it means to be respectable. 1. Respectable: According to Scripture 2. Respectable: According to the World 3. Respectable: According to Christ
