Welcome to the Sunday Morning Worship Service of New Covenant Christian Ministries with Pastor Bill and Dr. D'Ann Johnson. Our mission is “Transforming all people into fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.”  In today's sermon, Pastor Ken shares on the power of one right decision.

Right at the height of his '90's powers, Oscar-winner Spike Lee (Do the Right Thing, Inside Man, Blackkklansman) decided to direct and co-adapt this powerful crime novel from Richard Price (creator of "The Wire") about a murder investigation in Brooklyn which goes much deeper than any one could have expected.  Among the prime suspects is Strike (Mekhi Phifer) who is a beleagured "clocker" which is another term for a middle-man drug pusher.  This racket is truly taking its toll on Strike who wants to find an escape.....and on his tail is the lead investigator of this murder, Detective Klein (Harvey Keitel).  Further complicating matters is that Strike's legit-working brother Victor (Isaiah Washington) becomes implicated and casting a shadow over all of this are the ruthless machinations of Strike's boss, the local druglord Rodney played by Delroy Lindo.  What results is a searing, unflinching crime drama which kind of got lost in the shuffle upon first release but has endured over the past thirty years as one of Lee's most accomplished films.  The stacked cast also includes John Turturro, Regina Taylor, Thomas Jefferson Byrd, and Keith David. Host: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a textSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Navigating Family Dynamics: Real Estate, Relationships, and Parental ResponsibilitiesKey Takeaways:Understanding the balance between parental support and children's independence is essential in a familial context.Family obligations and additional financial support do not always secure an everlasting familial bond.Aligning core family values across generations plays a crucial role in long-term relational success.In this thought-provoking exploration of family dynamics, we delve into a real-life scenario that aligns the responsibilities parents have towards their adult children with navigating complex family relationships. Through a detailed transcript analysis, we unveil insights on real estate ownership complexities, the intricacies of family commitments, and the essence of maintaining core family values across generations.Parental Support vs. Child Independence: The Real Estate DilemmaThe transcript begins its narrative with an intriguing discussion around the notion of home ownership and how this can significantly impact relationships. In this scenario, parents buy a house for their son, symbolically granting him independence while still keeping the financial responsibilities to themselves. This idea taps into a broader conversation about the balance between parental investment in their child's future and fostering a sense of self-reliance.Mike, one of the key speakers, expresses the sentiment that parents do not owe their children "a place to live after they move out," emphasizing that the independence afforded is a privilege, not a right:"We owe you nothing. When you move out, you owe a place to live until they became an adult."This financial entanglement becomes even more complicated when the son's future in-laws mistakenly believe the property to be in his name. Such confusion over property ownership can lead to misunderstandings that strain familial bonds. The situation suggests that transparent, open discussions about financial arrangements and ownership are crucial for avoiding discord.The Strain of Exclusion: Unraveling Family CommitmentsThis particular discussion also walks the fine line of commitment to family versus external influences. The parents are uninvited from their son's wedding due to the fiancée's family's perception that they are "not their kind of people." This revelation strains the familial relationship and culminates in the decision to ask the son and his fiancée to vacate the house:"He tells me that her family feel like we are not good enough and will embarrass them at a family wedding and that we were all uninvited from the wedding."In the context of this familial drama, excluding family from pivotal moments like weddings can act as a powerful reminder of where loyalties lie. The transcript questions the core responsibilities between parents and children, suggesting that fundamental family commitments should not be easily overridden by external parties.Core Family Values Across Generations: Building a United FrontFinally, the transcript highlights the role of core family values in ensuring relational stability across generations. Mike and Torya reflect on the importance of standing up for one's principles and teaching children about commitment and accountability, especially in the face of challenging circumstances.Mike illustrates the lesson of commitment through a personal anecdote about his son's baseball team, emphasizing how breaking a commitment sets a poor precedent:"I told him, he made a commitment. And that's what I told him. He made a commitment to this team. It's not fair now to back out with four games left and leave them shorthanded."This narrative not only reinforces family values but also demonstrates the importance of parental guidance in fostering accountability and the need to align familial beliefs across generations. The values instilled by parents play a critical role in shaping the actions and decisions of the next generation, ultimately serving as the foundation for familial unity.The intricate weave of these themes serves as a fascinating look into the dynamics of parent-child relationships, real estate implications, and the long-term impact of family values. The transcript invites readers to ponder the delicate balance between support and independence, the consequences of estrangement, and the necessity for clear communication within the family unit. By reflecting on these stories, families can gain valuable insights into maintaining harmony and understanding in their own relationships.TimestampSummary0:00Hockey Anticipation and Am I the Asshole Segment1:41Family Drama Over Wedding Invitation and House Ownership7:25Parental Support and Expectations for College Living Arrangements9:05Family Dynamics and Expectations in Housing and Relationships16:12Teaching Kids Commitment Through Sports and Life Lessons

Wednesday Night Live Twitter/X Space 27 August 2025This Space explores philosophical questions about human nature, government, and societal structures. Stefan invites callers to engage in discussions about the implications of selfishness in humanity, examining whether such traits are innate or influenced by societal conditions. The conversation contrasts the stagnation of government control with the potential dynamism of a stateless society, addressing how moral actions are shaped by societal incentives. Callers raise questions around survival instincts and moral attribution, leading to a deeper inquiry into individual autonomy versus government influence. Stefan invokes Malthusianism to illustrate historical responses to resource scarcity, ultimately advocating for a future grounded in ethical principles, individual liberty, and voluntary societal interactions.

From the publisher: New York entered 1986 as a city reborn. Record profits on Wall Street sent waves of money splashing across Manhattan, bringing a battered city roaring back to life.But it also entered 1986 as a city whose foundation was beginning to crack. Thousands of New Yorkers were sleeping in the streets, addicted to drugs, dying of AIDS, or suffering from mental illnesses. Nearly one-third of the city's Black and Hispanic residents were living below the federal poverty line. Long-simmering racial tensions threatened to boil over.The events of the next four years would split the city open. Howard Beach. Black Monday. Tawana Brawley. The crack epidemic. The birth of ACT UP. The Central Park jogger. The release of Do the Right Thing. And a cast of outsized characters—Ed Koch, Donald Trump, Al Sharpton, Spike Lee, Rudy Giuliani, Larry Kramer—would compete to shape the city's future while building their own mythologies.The Gods of New York is a kaleidoscopic and deeply immersive portrait of a city whose identity was suddenly up for grabs: Could it be both the great working-class city that lifted up immigrants from around the world and the money-soaked capital of global finance? Could it retain a civic culture—a common idea of what it meant to be a New Yorker—when the rich were building a city of their own and vast swaths of its citizens were losing faith in the systems meant to protect them? New York City was one thing at the dawn of 1986; it would be something very different as 1989 came to a close. This is the story of how that happened.Information on Jonathan Mahler's book can be found athttps://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/568081/the-gods-of-new-york-by-jonathan-mahler/Support our show and Reach out and Read of Tampa Bay at https://patreon.com/axelbankhistoryAxelbankHistory.com is designed by https://www.ellieclairedesigns.com/Axelbank Reports History and Today" can be found on social media at https://twitter.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://instagram.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://facebook.com/axelbankhistory

In the early days of the Hollywood studio system, producers exerted far greater creative control than any individual director. Then, in the mid-twentieth century, a group of young French critics issued a cri du coeur that gave rise to the figure of the auteur: visionary filmmakers ranging from Jean-Luc Godard to Martin Scorsese and Wes Anderson. In the final installment of this year's Critics at Large interview series, Vinson Cunningham talks with fellow staff writer Richard Brody about the origins of auteur theory, and about the lengths to which directors have gone for artistic freedom in the decades since. They take Spike Lee's body of work as a case study, considering his new movie “Highest 2 Lowest” and how his filmmaking sensibility reflects his singular view of the world. “Style is a funny thing in movies,” Brody says. “If it's any good, it's not inseparable from substance. It is substance.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“The 400 Blows” (1959)“Breathless” (1960)“Notes on the Auteur Theory in 1962,” by Andrew Sarris (Film Culture)“Circles and Squares,” by Pauline Kael (Film Quarterly)“Martin Scorsese on Making ‘Killers of the Flower Moon,' ” by Richard Brody (The New Yorker)“The Wolf of Wall Street” (2013)“Spike Lee Comes Home,” by Richard Brody (The New Yorker)“Da Sweet Blood of Jesus” (2014)“Red Hook Summer” (2012)“A Great Film Reveals Itself in Five Minutes,” by Richard Brody (The New Yorker)“Highest 2 Lowest” (2025)“ ‘Highest 2 Lowest' Marks a Conservative Pivot for Spike Lee,” by Richard Brody (The New Yorker)“Do the Right Thing” (1989)New episodes drop every Thursday.

AI isn't killing design. It's reminding us what design really is. In this episode, we talk about the illusion of control, why designers often feel powerless, and how the real work has always been about making meaning and managing systems, not just making screens.What if AI isn't changing design at all, but finally showing us what design has really been about this whole time?It's tempting to think AI is rewriting the rules of design. But maybe the truth is simpler: it's exposing what design was always about.In this conversation with Dennis Lenard, founder of Creative Navy, we explore how AI is pushing designers to confront the illusion of control, the limits of pixel pushing, and the bigger role of meaning-making.

Furigana and English scripts are on my website: https://www.nihongoforyou.com/episodes/172justice-whats-the-right-thing-to-do[Japanese script]2010年、日本で大ブームを巻き起こした本があります。ハーバード大学のマイケル・サンデル教授が書いた『これからの「正義」の話をしよう』という本です。NHKがサンデル教授の人気講義を番組化すると、すぐに大きな話題になりました。サンデル教授は政治哲学を専門とし、この本では「正義とは何か？」「正しい行いとは何か？」という根本的な問いを考えています。実際に講義で使われていた思考実験を紹介します。哲学や倫理学を学んだ人なら知っているであろう、「トロッコ問題」です。こんな問題です。暴走したトロッコが線路を進んでいます。このまま進むと、線路上で作業している5人の作業員が死んでしまいます。私たちはレバーのそばにいて、それを引けば別の線路にトロッコを移動させることができます。でも、その別の線路には1人の作業員がいます。問題は、「5人を救うために、1人を犠牲にするレバーを引くべきか？」です。この問題に、みなさんはどう答えますか？「一人を犠牲にして五人を救う」と答える人もいるでしょう。この考え方を、功利主義と言います。全体的な幸福を最大化することを目指す、いわば結果をより重視する考え方です。この考え方と真逆とも言えるのは、エマニュエル・カントが唱える哲学です。彼は、行為の結果よりも、行為そのものの正しさを重視します。ここで、実際にあった事例で考えてみましょう。19世紀の海難事故で、3人の乗組員が生き残るために船室の少年を殺して食べたという事件です。この事件では様々な議論が起きました。例えば「生存のための必要性は殺人を正当化するか？」「どんな状況でも殺人は間違っているのか？」といった議題です。必要性によって行為が正当化されるという主張もあれば、状況や起こり得る利益に関係なく、殺人という行為は本質的に間違っているという主張もあります。また、他には「船室の少年が自身の死に同意していなかったことが間違いである。全ての当事者が同意し公正な抽選手続きをしていれば、殺人を正当化できる可能性がある。」という人もいます。はじめに立てた「正義とは何か？」「正しい行いとは何か？」という問いはすぐに答えられるものではないので、生きている限り考え続けなければならない問題かもしれません。みなさんはどう思いますか？=======================================

Coming from the story of Martha and Mary it's easy to be distracted trying to do the right thing instead of just sitting at Jesus feet!

Chuck Todd opens with a revealing moment that perfectly encapsulates Trump's psychology: after praising Todd on Truth Social for comments taken completely out of context, Trump exposes his desperate hunger for validation and his dangerous ability to rewrite reality, while the six-week delay reveals how information bubbles work in his administration and his "neediness" for historic affirmation drives increasingly erratic behavior that's systematically dismantling constitutional norms. He argues we're witnessing a fundamentally different Trump 2.0 where the resistance that constrained his first term has evaporated, leaving Republicans as a "unified defense mechanism" while Democrats fracture over strategy, all as Trump successfully convinces the country that rules simply don't apply to him anymore. Then, he looks ahead to several key developments shaping the 2026 midterms, from Eleni Kounalakis's California governor exit clearing the field for Rick Caruso, to Sherrod Brown's strategic Ohio Senate bid against likely GOP nominee Vivek Ramaswamy with Amy Acton as a Democratic wildcard, to Mamdani's commanding New York City poll lead over flailing campaigns from Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo. Throughout, he warns that Trump's systematic destruction of institutional norms threatens America's constitutional republic at the exact moment when international credibility and democratic checks and balances matter most for global stability, while his apocalyptic vision of Washington creates a permission structure for authoritarianism that will outlast his presidency.Then, author Jonathan Mahler joins Chuck Todd for a deep dive into his new book “The Gods of New York” which explores the cultural and political forces that shaped New York City during its transformative 1980s era. They discuss figures like Ed Koch who pioneered the "celebrification" of NYC mayors, and Donald Trump who was considered a "fleeting cultural figure" despite learning how to manipulate tabloid culture for attention. Mahler traces the interconnected stories of power brokers like Roy Cohn, who connected Trump with NYC's elite before his death signaled the end of an era, and the complex relationship between Trump and Al Sharpton, who "fed off each other" while Sharpton strategically chose which politicians could attend high-profile funerals like that of murdered teenager Yusef Hawkins. The conversation explores how Trump inserted himself into politics through cultural commentary starting in 1988, mirroring George Steinbrenner's attention-grabbing tactics from the 1970s, while the city grappled with the AIDS epidemic and Ed Koch's failure to meet the moment due to fears of being outed.The discussion examines the broader cultural awakening of the era, from the rise of ACT UP during the AIDS crisis to Spike Lee's movie "Do the Right Thing" serving as a wake-up call for white America, all occurring under the looming presence of Mario Cuomo, who was "larger than life" in New York politics. Mahler details how Trump mastered the art of becoming one of New York's "tabloid gods" before heading toward spectacular bankruptcy in 1990 and entering his "hibernation" period in the '90s, while also drawing parallels between historical political dynamics and contemporary figures like Zohran Mamdani. The episode concludes with insights into why transformational mayors like David Dinkins struggled with reelection and how the Yankees' resurgence became symbolic of the city's broader renewal, providing essential context for understanding how New York's unique political and cultural ecosystem created the conditions that would eventually propel Trump from local celebrity to national political figure.Finally, he answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.Timeline:00:00 Chuck Todd's Introduction03:45 Trump praises Chuck on Truth Social04:45 Trump missed the context of Chuck's comments05:30 It took six weeks for Chuck's comment to make it to Trump06:45 Trump wants to be historic and shows he's needy08:00 Trump is desperate for affirmation, whether it's positive or negative09:15 Trump bullies everyone into believing there are no rules10:15 Trump ran into resistance in 1.0, but not in 2.011:15 Why the pushback to Trump has dissipated14:00 The Republican party is a unified defense mechanism for Trump14:45 Democrats are split on how to push back on Trump18:00 The apocalyptic vision of DC Trump paints is inaccurate20:30 Trump's actions are terrible for the long term image of the U.S.22:15 If we want to stay a constitutional republic, we need checks and balances24:15 Two big developments in CA governor race25:15 Eleni Kounalakis drops out of CA gov race26:15 Rick Caruso setting up run for governor?
