John Luke and Zach respond to sharp criticism, pushing back on a mindset that shuts down honest questions instead of engaging them. Al walks through the historical events that set the stage for Christianity's explosion onto the world scene, including Nero's brutal persecution of Jesus' followers. Meanwhile, Christian digs into the cultural significance of the gymnasium and how it revealed the tension between Greek and Jewish ways of life. Today's conversation is about Lessons 3 of Ancient Christianity taught by visiting Hillsdale Professor of History Kenneth Calvert. Take the course with us at no cost to you! Sign up at http://unashamedforhillsdale.com/. More about Ancient Christianity: Christ entered the world during the reign of Caesar Augustus. The tensions between Christianity and the Roman Empire shaped the daily practice of the Christian faith and led many Romans to distrust and persecute the early Christians. But Christianity also benefitted from the Roman world. And when Rome collapsed in the West, Christianity provided the hope for preserving civilization. In this free, eleven-lecture course, Professor Kenneth Calvert will explore: How the Jewish, Greek, and Roman cultures all contributed to preparing the world to hear the Gospel. Why many Romans distrusted and persecuted the early Christians. The inspiring stories of Christ, His apostles, and faithful ones throughout the first four centuries of Christianity. The arguments of key early Christian apologists—Ignatius, Irenaeus, Justin, Athanasius, and more—who defended and defined the Christian faith amidst the animosity of the Roman world. The conversion of Constantine and how he brought stability to Rome, and how the rivalry between his sons almost returned Rome to paganism. How Augustine's writings helped preserve the message of Christianity during the collapse of the Roman Empire in the West. You will discover the uncertainties, trials, and triumphs of the earliest Christians as they confronted controversies within the faith and persecutions from outside it. Join us today to discover the improbable and miraculous story of Christianity.

How do they get saved? (09:00) How would you respond to the idea that people who have been historically marginalized ought to be catered to?

Today is day 79 and we are in the section on the Second Article of the Apostles' Creed on Jesus Christ the Son of God. Today we are on the twelfth line: “He will come again to judge the living and the dead”. 79. How should you understand Jesus' future judgment? All people, whether living or dead, will be judged by Jesus Christ. Those apart from Christ will receive eternal rejection and punishment in hell, while those who are in Christ will receive eternal blessing and welcome into the fullness of life with God. (Psalm 50:1–6; Matthew 25:31–46; Romans 2:16; 2 Corinthians 5:10) We will conclude today by praying the Ninth Canticle found on page 86 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

March 15th. Acts 28:14-15, Romans 16:1-16, Proverbs 27:17, 1 Corinthians 12:21-27.
Phil's bold line resurfaces as the guys reflect on his lasting impact and what it means to carry his legacy into a new era without him. As the Robertson family grows and roles begin to shift, they wrestle with what it looks like for men to lead well and for older generations to train the next. Jase pushes back on a phone-obsessed culture that avoids hardship, arguing that real growth still comes the hard way. The guys investigate testing truth by its fruit, why real faith can't be faked, and how following Jesus always leaves its mark. In this episode: 1 John 2, verses 12–14; 1 John 4, verses 1–6; Romans 8, verse 25; Revelation 1, verses 12–16; Galatians 2, verses 11–21; Galatians 5, verses 16–26; Galatians 6, verse 17 “Unashamed” Episode 1292 is sponsored by: https://chministries.org/unashamed — See why Christians are ditching health insurance for good.

What story have you been telling yourself? This week on The Breakdown, Matthew Rhoads sat down with Pastor James to break down his message "Rewrite the Story." Looking at Deuteronomy 8:2–3, Romans 8:15–16, Exodus 16:3, Matthew 4:4, Romans 12:2, and 2 Corinthians 10:5, we talk about how pressure often exposes the lies we've accepted about God, ourselves, and our future. Together, we unpack how remembering God's faithfulness helps replace those lies with truth—and how God uses His Word to reshape the way we think and live. If you feel stuck in old patterns or thoughts that keep pulling you backward, this conversation will help you see how God begins to rewrite your story through truth. Everyone helping someone take steps to follow Christ.

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate HereRomans 3 is where the floor falls out from under every excuse—and grace steps in.In this episode, we walk through one of the clearest, strongest chapters in all of Scripture: the law exposes our sin, every mouth is silenced, and the whole world stands guilty before a holy God. But then comes the turn: “But now…” God has revealed a righteousness not earned by our works, but given through faith in Jesus Christ.This is the glory of the gospel: all have sinned, all have fallen short, and yet sinners can be justified freely by His grace. The law points to our need, the prophets point to the promise, and Jesus is the fulfillment of it all. If you've ever needed a chapter that humbles you and heals you at the same time, Romans 3 is it.
In this episode, Pastors Jim and Sean discuss Romans 6:1–14 and Sean's latest sermon: "Union with Christ" from our sermon series through the book of Romans.Watering Seeds is a ministry of Covenant Reformed Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Asheville, NC.

Daily Dose of Hope March 18, 2026 Scripture: Romans 10 Prayer: Almighty God, We thank you for a new day and we praise your perfect name. We are grateful that your mercies are new every single morning. Help us see you in this day. Help us recognize your voice. Lord, help us reflect you today in our words. Help us reflect you in our behavior. Help us remember who and whose we are. In Your Name, Amen. Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan. We are currently working our way through Paul's letters chronologically. We are now in our sixth pastoral letter, the book of Romans. Today's reading is Romans 10. Romans 10 is packed with substance. There are two things that strike me in this chapter. First is Paul's discussion about the heart. He is making an argument that the law is not what makes someone righteous, but their belief in Jesus. He is speaking of a new circumcision, essentially, a circumcision of the heart. It isn't about what we do or what is done to us (in the case of a baby boy being circumcised), it is about our heart. Do we believe in Jesus? Do we love Jesus? Have we made a commitment in our heart to Jesus Christ? Keep in mind this was a total 180 degrees from what the Jews knew and believed. I think sometimes we are pretty hard on the Jews. Why don't they just believe? Well, this was really different from everything they had been taught about being right with God. Paul seems to get this struggle and it frames his arguments with Hebrew people. He is anguished that they don't believe. While it is a huge shift, he knows how much better life is when Christ is at the center. As we can all imagine, the law (works) is a terrible thing to build your life around because you are never good enough. On the other hand, with Jesus, he has declared us good enough because of his saving work on the cross, not because of anything we have done or haven't done. This totally levels the playing field, as Paul expresses in verse 12. It doesn't matter if one is Jew or Greek for all who call on the name of the Lord will be saved. This is great news, everyone! The other piece that made an impression on me this morning was Paul's emphasis on sharing the good news. Starting with verse 14, he writes, How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" And that is still the case today, isn't it? How can anyone know if they have never heard? I think we make the assumption that most people around us, like neighbors, coworkers, golf buddies, and gym friends, know about Jesus. Often, people have a vague idea about Jesus or even an incorrect view of Jesus. Yet, they must know and profess Jesus to be saved. I've also learned that some people, especially younger ones, truly have no idea what it means to believe in Jesus Christ. Friends, the harvest is tremendous but the workers are few. How can they believe if they have not heard? Blessings, Pastor Vicki

How Are Your Conversations With God? Like with all relationships its impossible to have a thriving, intimate relationship with God without talking to Him. Today we discuss the great privilege we have of communicating with God, our Father and creator of all!! Romans 10:17
Barcelona is famous for its modern life, stunning architecture, and Mediterranean energy, but its story began more than two thousand years ago.In this episode of Spanish Loops, we travel back to the origins of the city when the Romans founded Barcino, a small but strategic colony on the northeastern coast of the Iberian Peninsula. Long before Barcelona became a global destination, this Roman settlement grew under the shadow of Tarraco, the powerful capital of Roman Hispania.But the story of the region begins even earlier. Greek traders, Iberian tribes, and Mediterranean merchants were already shaping the culture and economy of this coastline before Rome arrived.Together we explore how the Romans designed the city, why they chose this location, and how their influence transformed the area forever. From the ancient Roman streets beneath today's Gothic Quarter to the hidden remains of temples, walls, and aqueducts, the foundations of Barcelona are still visible today.Join us on Spanish Loops as we uncover the ancient origins of Barcelona and the Roman legacy that still defines the city more than two millennia later.Because every great city has a beginning.And Barcelona began with Rome.
Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #293 Title: Faith Is Spiritual Gravity Web Description: When you wake up in the morning, you do not expect to lose the force of gravity and float off into space. Gravity is always there and always working. Likewise, you should not think of faith as something that you lose and try to get back. Just like gravity, faith should always be there. Do not pump up your faith at times when you need it. Just keep growing your faith at all times. Show Notes: We tend to think of faith as something we apply in the moment if we want to see something happen or need an answer to prayer. A better concept of faith is illustrated by the force of gravity. Gravity does not turn on or off according to momentary needs. It is always active as a permanent part of our lives. And that is what our faith should be. Of course, faith can trigger a miracle. But that will not happen because you build up your faith at that moment. It happens because you have grown to a level of faith in your walk with God. Faith grows. It is tested and tried. It is something dwelling in you because you have exercised it consistently in your walk with God. Faith is that which makes the unseen visible. Faith is what God moved in when He spoke the Word that created the universe, making things that are seen out of that which is invisible. God is invisible, and yet Christ visibly manifested the Father into the earth on a continual basis. He did not pump up some faith when someone needed a healing. He simply let the Father impact the physical realm through Him. And people were healed by their own faith in Christ. If we want to measure our faith, then Christ is our example. His faith was in the Father dwelling in Him, and He manifested the works of the Father. And so our faith is not what we manage to pump up now and then, but rather it is the faith that Christ and the Father are dwelling in us by the Holy Spirit. Faith is a state of being that is constantly manifesting in the world the works of the Holy Spirit. Faith is what we keep appropriating until we are filled up to all the fullness of God, and out of that fullness the Kingdom of God will become more and more visible. Key Verses: • Matthew 9:27–29. "It shall be done to you according to your faith." • Hebrews 11:1–3. "What is seen was not made out of things which are visible." • Hebrews 11:1 (KJV). "Faith is the substance of things hoped for." • John 14:16–21. "You will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you." • Romans 8:11. "If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He … will also give life to your mortal bodies." • Ephesians 3:13–19. "Know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God." Quotes: • "When we see the created world around us, we see the result of faith—the faith that God moved in when He spoke the Word that created all things throughout the universe." • "We need to have a faith that the Kingdom of God surrounds us, is in us, and is to manifest before us on a visible level. And the emanation of that faith must be constant." • "We need to build our faith and grow our faith surrounding what the Word of God has said already is. In other words, it is a reality in the realm of spirit, but we need to see it manifest in this visible world." Takeaways: 1. Faith is not something temporary that we exercise only at the moment we need it. Faith is actually like gravity, which is manifesting in our lives all day long. 2. Faith is not something we pump up because it has gone flat. It is something we build and grow in a consistent walk with God. 3. Faith is that which makes the unseen visible. And for the Kingdom to manifest daily in our world from the invisible realm requires a faith that is daily manifesting in our lives.
Do you ever replay conversations in your mind… wondering if you said the wrong thing or made the wrong decision? Overthinking and anxious thoughts can quietly steal your peace — causing your mind to spiral into worry, analysis, and trying to control outcomes that actually belong to God. Many Christian women struggle with this. We want to make the right decisions. We want to honor God. We want to steward our lives well. But when our minds start trying to carry things God never asked us to carry, our thoughts can quickly become exhausting. In this episode of the Strong. Confident. His. Podcast, I'm sharing what Scripture teaches about overthinking, anxious thoughts, and how to renew your mind so you can return to God's peace. You'll learn why mental spirals happen, how our thoughts begin replaying conversations and future worries, and how anchoring your mind in God's Word helps restore peace. If your mind ever feels restless or overwhelmed, this episode will remind you that peace begins when we stop trying to do God's job and start trusting Him. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why overthinking often happens when we try to control outcomes that belong to God • How replaying conversations and future worries creates spiraling • Why renewing your mind through Scripture changes the direction of your thoughts • How prayer, gratitude, and surrender bring your mind back to peace • A simple question you can ask when your thoughts start spinning This episode will help you stop trying to carry everything in your own strength and begin returning your thoughts to God's truth. When truth leads your thoughts, God's peace follows. Scripture Referenced in This Episode Isaiah 26:3 — You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast because they trust in You Matthew 6:34 — Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself Romans 12:2 — Be transformed by the renewing of your mind Philippians 4:6–7 — Present your requests to God and the peace of God will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus Take the Next Step in Your Faith and Fitness Journey Are you tired of starting over with your health and fitness — and ready to do it God's way?

This episode uncovers how the promises of the New Covenant were already embedded in the Old Testament and how many believers have been disconnected from the very foundations that explain who we are in Christ. Mary Lou opens with practical warnings about spiritual deception in culture, hidden occult influence, and the need for prayer over vulnerable regions, infrastructure, and the nation. She also shares an important encouragement for God's people to remain watchful, prayerful, and spiritually prepared. Dr. Lake then begins a powerful new teaching series showing that the New Covenant does not abolish God's previous revelation, but rather internalizes it. He explains how the Torah being written on the heart, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, circumcision of heart, and the renewal of the mind are all part of the deeper reality of walking with God in the last days. This is a timely message for believers who want to move beyond shallow Christianity, rediscover the Hebraic foundations of the faith, and understand how spiritual maturity, healing, and obedience work together in the Kingdom of God.

It's Tuesday, March 17th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Cuba is on verge of collapse Cuba, a communist country in the Western Hemisphere, is on the verge of collapse. Oil shipments to the island nation stopped three months ago and the nation's electric grid gave out over the weekend. Plus, the country's Gross Domestic Product, the total monetary value of all goods and services produced within a country's borders, slipped another 5% last year. According to the United Nation's Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, communist Cuba has the worst GDP/capita in Latin America — barely reaching $1,000 per year. The worst economies in Latin America are communist Venezuela, communist Nicaragua, communist Cuba, and Haiti. Cuba is ripest nation for spiritual revival Despite the economic doom and gloom, Cuba appears to be the ripest for spiritual revival of any nation in the world today. The Baptists have reported a 40-fold increase in the number of churches since 1990. One estimate puts the total number of Cuban believers at two million. That's about 20% of the population -- higher than membership in the communist party for the country. In Matthew 16:18, Jesus promised that “He would build His church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” 47% of Americans oppose the U.S.-Iranian war Americans continue to have mixed opinions about the Iran conflict. New polling averages, from Real Clear Politics, found that 44% of Americans support the war, while 47% oppose the fight. Similarly, a Quinnipiac poll found that only 40% of Americans favor the war, with 53% in opposition. A whopping 74% of Americans are opposed to sending ground troops into the war, something the Trump administration has not ruled out. Court allows naked men in women's spa The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has let stand a lower court ruling requiring a private spa, intended for women, to allow naked men to frequent the premises. The Washington State spa owners insisted this policy would be contrary to their Christian beliefs. Thus far, at least five judges have filed dissents on the decision. 19% of employees at U.S. companies are foreign workers American corporations are hiring foreign workers like never before, recent numbers indicate 19.2% of their employees are foreign workers, up from 12% twenty years ago. Another 10% of the U.S. workforce is also provided for by digital offshoring by organizations like Upwork. That makes almost a third of the U.S. workforce now provided for by foreigners. Pastor: If you're a Christian, don't live in sin with someone Megachurch pastor Josh Howerton of LakePointe Church in Dallas, Texas, challenged Christian couples to stop living in sin. HOWERTON: “The Bible is going to say things about marriage, sexuality and divorce that are very controversial to the world. My response to that is: ‘To who?' Because what the world says about marriage is controversial to Heaven. I would rather Heaven be pleased and the world say we're controversial than be applauded by the world and controversial before Heaven.” Pastor Howerton concluded his sermon with this challenge. HOWERTON: “You're living with somebody that's not your spouse. You're sleeping with somebody that's not your spouse. Or you've actually already started a family and had kids with somebody that's not your spouse. “And you, right now, are coming under the loving conviction of the Holy Spirit that you need to honor God, bend your knee to Jesus, put a ring on it, and enter into a covenant with a person that you're already acting like you're in a covenant with. “What I want you to know is we want to help you do that, because we got a little thing at Lakepoint. We say, ‘The only time we look down on people is to give them a hand up.' “So, here's what we want to do. We got a whole team of pastors. We are ready to have a mass wedding ceremony. I'm 100% serious. We got people. We're gonna walk with you, counsel you, help you, and then we're gonna get you married. We're gonna throw a big party. “And guess what? Your church family is not going to be doing. These people aren't going to be judging you. They're going to be cheering you on as you step forward into obedience to Jesus Christ.” Remarkably, following the sermon, 52 couples came forward and were married at the church a couple of weeks later. Isaiah 1:18 says, “Come now, and let us reason together, says the LORD. ‘Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.'” Tennessee bill to abolish abortion died in committee A bill before the Tennessee State legislature that would have fully banned abortion was killed in the legislature's Health Subcommittee last week, reports the Nashville Banner. The bill would have criminalized abortion and given equal protection to the unborn under the law. However, the measure was actively opposed by both pro-abortion and pro-life groups, who argued the law was too strict. Bradley Pierce, president of the Foundation to Abolish Abortion, stated, “I don't think it's merciful to tell women that they're allowed to murder their children. To those who say that having a blanket exemption for women is merciful, do you apply that to any other area of law?” Similar bills have been introduced, both in Democratic and Republican states, and thus far, none have passed. Proverbs 24:11 admonishes us to “Deliver those who are drawn toward death, and hold back those stumbling to the slaughter.” Christian apologist shares Christ on popular podcast Apologist Wes Huff clearly explained the Gospel of Jesus Christ to entrepreneur Steven Bartlett on Bartlett's “Diary of a CEO” podcast — among the top podcasts in the world. In fact, 3 million people listen per episode. BARTLETT: “If I sin in my life, do I go to hell?” HUFF: “Here's the thing: everybody is going to hell. Everybody. The Bible is very clear. All good people go to Heaven, but Jesus said, ‘No one is good but God alone.' So, if all good people go to Heaven, and no one is good but God alone, only God is in Heaven.” BARTLETT: “Mmm.” HUFF: “So, Christianity says you're not going to be able to do, feel or think good enough. Compared to God, you're always going to fall short. Be perfect as your Father in Heaven is perfect, is what Scripture says. That's an impossible standard. “The message of the Bible, the reason why it's called the Gospel, the Good News, is because of the bad news. The bad news is you're dead in your sins and trespasses and you can't save yourself. Jesus, as the second Person of the Trinity, steps off of His throne in eternity, comes into humanity, and He pays the penalty of the sin that you deserve.” Romans 3:23 gives us the bad news. “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” And Romans 5:8 gives us the Good News. "But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Oscars awarded to foul-mouthed, immoral R-rated movies And finally, the 98th Academy Award ceremonies awarded more R-rated movies with top prizes again this year. One Battle After Another, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn, took the Best Picture award — a film celebrating revolution, killing ICE agents, and murdering pro-life legislators. It played with moral ambiguity and satire, while encouraging revolutionary activity in society. Sadly, the film, which features the most obscene word 135 times and the Lord's name used in vain 20 times, garnered six Oscars. Another R-rated movie, Sinners, collected four more Oscars. The film glorified demonism, African animism, murderers, adulterers, and hoodoo witches, while condemning Christianity for its alleged legalism and white oppression. Sinners features the Lord's name taken in vain 11 times. I John 2:15-17 says, “Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father, but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, March 17th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

You've been told your whole life that God's involvement in your life depends on how good of a Christian you've been. That's not the New Covenant. That's the Old Covenant. And you don't live there anymore. Travis teaches on why performance-based thinking is the actual thing keeping you off your God-given path, not your lack of money, credentials, or talent. When you understand that you are flawless in His eyes right now, you'll stop waiting and start moving. This one will set you free. Key scriptures: Romans 10:9-10, Ephesians 2:10, Romans 5:1-2, Galatians 3:13-14, Hebrews 1:14, 2 Corinthians 5:21
Romans 12:14-16 The Apostle Paul continues to exhort believers to become true followers of Christ. One becomes a disciple through steps of obedience—beginning with baptism and continuing by obeying all that He has taught. As we submit to this process and are led by the Spirit, we will see the power of God at work in our lives.
Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike here. The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ came not only to save us from sin but also to defeat the power of Satan and the kingdom of darkness. Scripture tells us that through the cross Christ disarmed the spiritual powers and authorities and triumphed over them (Colossians 2:15), and that He appeared to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8). Because of Jesus' victory, the enemy's power is limited and temporary, and one day God will finally crush Satan completely (Romans 20).
Thanks for listening! We pray you are blessed by this and that you experience the love and closeness of Jesus through it!Here's the scripture referenced in the message:Mark 14:32-36 Psalm 75:8 Jeremiah 25:15 Psalm 44:23 Mark 14:37-38 Romans 7:15 Hebrews 4:15-16 First time or new here?

Psalms 1 & 2 E4 — The New Testament authors make both subtle and direct claims to Jesus' divinity, almost exclusively by referencing Israel's Scriptures. In Psalm 2, one of the most quoted passages from the Hebrew Bible, Yahweh responds to the conspiring, violent nations by installing a king (whom he calls his Son) in Israel. Jesus and the apostles frequently use Psalm 2 language to describe Jesus' divine identity and unique relationship to God the Father. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore these references in Jesus' baptism, transfiguration, and resurrection, while also considering how the Son of God shares his royal identity with his followers.

What does it really mean to not be conformed to the world? In this episode of the 99 For One Podcast, Granger Smith and the crew dive deep into Romans 12:2 and explore the biblical call to be transformed by the renewing of your mind. The conversation moves beyond surface-level Christianity and into the practical realities of following Jesus in a culture constantly shaping our thoughts, habits, and desires. From entertainment choices and social influences to the idols we don’t even realize we’ve created, the guys discuss how everything around us is forming us into something—and why believers must intentionally pursue transformation through Christ. They also unpack powerful themes like sanctification, humility, and God’s sovereignty, wrestling with the tension between human responsibility and God’s grace. Along the way, the discussion turns personal as they share real examples of cutting off things that pull them toward worldly conformity and replacing them with habits that lead to spiritual growth. If you’ve ever wondered how to live faithfully in a culture pulling you in the opposite direction, this episode offers a candid and biblical perspective on daily discipleship, dying to self, and pursuing Christ above everything else. Listen in and consider the challenge: What in your life is shaping you—and is it drawing you closer to Christ or conforming you to the world?

2. The debate continues with a comparison of Emperor Trump to Nero and Claudius, questioning if his current crisis is a result of bad luck or hubris. While Claudius favored low-risk, calculated campaigns, Trump's offensive is characterized as a "rash and incalculably risky gambit" that mirrors strategic failures in Ukraine. This conflict has solidified the Russia-Chinabond and left Israel "naked and exposed" due to US failures. Germanicus argues that the US ignored the "weak points" of its own coalition, turning Gulf State bases into liabilities rather than security assets. Likening Trump's overconfidence to Hitler's before the invasion of Russia, the speakers suggest that the US has "got suckered" into a war it cannot win through air power alone. They conclude that the only rational path is to accept defeat and reorganize, as the Romans did when facing superior Persian cavalry. (2)1680 CONSTANTINOPLE
1. In Londinium, 92 AD, Gaius and Germanicus analyze the 21st-century conflict between a US-Israeli coalition and Iran, comparing its focus on supply chains to the 1941 oil sanctions against Japan. While the Americans expected a swift "four-day shock and awe"campaign and a leadership "decap strike" to force negotiations, Iran responded with asymmetrical warfare. By targeting the Strait of Hormuz, Iran has driven oil prices toward $120-$150 per barrel, threatening a global economic collapse. Germanicus critiques the American"siren song" of strategic bombing, noting it historically fails to win wars without ground occupation. Unlike the adaptive Romans who rose from defeat during the Punic Wars, modern US leaders—including Rubio, Vance, and Hegseth—are criticized for lacking dissenting voices and the historical perspective needed to reorganize after strategic failures.

In this compilation of short stories, kids learn that Jesus became our Substitute when He was punished for our sin. When we believe on Jesus and receive Him as our Savior, Jesus makes us God's children and we become righteous in Christ. In “Judge Spanky,” Alfalfa uses John 1:12, “But to all who believed Jesus and accepted Him, He gave the right to become children of God,” to prove that Darla is a child of God. In “Red Handit the Bandit,” Red uses 2 Corinthians 5:21 incorrectly to try to get away with breaking the law. “For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.” You must be born again by receiving Jesus as your Savior if you want to be made righteous! In “Not Guilty As Charged,” the Prosecuter (Satan) tries to convince The Judge (God) to sentence Stephen Samuel Sinner to hell because he sinned. However, the Defense Attorney (Jesus) steps in to remind everyone that Stephen has been born again by receiving Jesus as his Savior—and Jesus already took the punishment for Stephen's sin! “For the sin of this one man, Adam, brought death to many. But even greater is God's wonderful grace and His gift of forgiveness to many through this other man, Jesus Christ.” Romans 5:15 #kids, #storiesforkids, #biblestoriesforkids, #faithbasedcontentforkids, #christiancontentforkids, #bedtimestoriesforkids, #biblelessonsforkids, #jesusforgivesmysin, #jesusmakesmerighteous, #jesusmysubstitute, #jesustookthepunishmentformysin, #jesusgivesmehispeace, #childrenofgod, #Bible, #fishbytesforkids, #fishbytes4kids, #ronandcarriewebb, #roncarriewebb
8. Perpetua and the Shift to Christian Martyrdom (15)In the final segment, Southon discusses Perpetua, a well-born young woman in Carthage who was executed for being a Christian. Roman policy viewed the refusal to worship state gods as treason. Perpetua kept a diary of her imprisonment, framing her suffering as a spiritual victory. This marked a major cultural shift; while Romans valued suicide to avoid dishonor, Christians believed suffering and humiliationwere pathways to salvation. Her story concludes as Christianity begins to replace traditional Roman beliefs as the empire's dominant spirituality. (16)

John Luke celebrates the arrival of his twin daughters, instantly becoming a father of five and giving the guys plenty to talk about when it comes to the miracle and chaos of childbirth. John Luke, Christian, Zach, and Al swap stories about witnessing labor for the first time and reflect on how the arrival of new life can feel both overwhelming and deeply spiritual. That leads into a bigger discussion about why Christianity makes such a bold claim: that the Creator of the universe chose to enter the world the same way every human does, through birth. The guys connect that moment to how the humble birth of Jesus reshaped human history and still anchors the story we're all living in today. In this episode: John 1, verses 1–4; John 1, verse 14; Genesis 1, verse 1; Genesis 3, verse 15; Acts 17, verses 22–31 Today's conversation is about Lesson 1 of Ancient Christianity taught by visiting Hillsdale Professor of History Kenneth Calvert. Take the course with us at no cost to you! Sign up at http://unashamedforhillsdale.com/. More about Ancient Christianity: Christ entered the world during the reign of Caesar Augustus. The tensions between Christianity and the Roman Empire shaped the daily practice of the Christian faith and led many Romans to distrust and persecute the early Christians. But Christianity also benefitted from the Roman world. And when Rome collapsed in the West, Christianity provided the hope for preserving civilization. In this free, eleven-lecture course, Professor Kenneth Calvert will explore: How the Jewish, Greek, and Roman cultures all contributed to preparing the world to hear the Gospel. Why many Romans distrusted and persecuted the early Christians. The inspiring stories of Christ, His apostles, and faithful ones throughout the first four centuries of Christianity. The arguments of key early Christian apologists—Ignatius, Irenaeus, Justin, Athanasius, and more—who defended and defined the Christian faith amidst the animosity of the Roman world. The conversion of Constantine and how he brought stability to Rome, and how the rivalry between his sons almost returned Rome to paganism. How Augustine's writings helped preserve the message of Christianity during the collapse of the Roman Empire in the West. You will discover the uncertainties, trials, and triumphs of the earliest Christians as they confronted controversies within the faith and persecutions from outside it.
