CAPTION 1561 PALATINE HILLClodia Reclaims Her Historical VoiceDouglas Boin, author of Clodia of Rome: Champion of the Roman Republic, shifts the focus of the late Roman Republicto Clodia, an independent, wealthy aristocratic woman who challenged Rome's patriarchal establishment. Boin reconstructs her life on the Palatine Hill, her stormy marriage, and her political alliance with her reformist brother Clodius. The narrative culminates in the famous sedition and murder trial of her former lover Marcus Caelius Rufus, where Marcus Tullius Cicero delivered a highly misogynistic defense that influenced rhetoric for two entire millennia.

Lorsque Constantin inaugure en 330 la ville qui porte désormais son nom, il n'imagine probablement pas le destin extraordinaire de cette cité, qui lui survivra plus de mille ans.Au début du IVe siècle, l'Empire romain fait face à un défi majeur : comment gouverner un territoire devenu si gigantesque que les palais du Mont Palatin ne suffisent plus ? C'est dans ce contexte de transformation radicale que naît Constantin, destiné à réécrire l'histoire de Rome et à laisser une empreinte indélébile sur le cours de la civilisation occidentale.Plongez dans l'histoire des grands personnages et des évènements marquants qui ont façonné notre monde ! Avec enthousiasme et talent, Franck Ferrand vous révèle les coulisses de l'histoire avec un grand H, entre mystères, secrets et épisodes méconnus : un cadeau pour les amoureux du passé, de la préhistoire à l'histoire contemporaine.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Picture a newsroom in Rome under dictator Benito Mussolini's fascist regime in the 1930s. A censor's red pencil moves down a page before it ever reaches a printing press.  Now picture a cell phone, right now, tonight: someone typing out a post, reading it back to themselves, and deleting it before they hit send.   Two moments, nearly a hundred years apart, but with the same instinct.  Silence isn't just what's left when words are cut, or people are quiet. It's something regimes - and sometimes just fear, or habit, or a culture - intentionally manufacture.  And that's why we think talking about silence is so important, especially given where we are currently in the United States.   Today we're tracing the history of silence across three pivotal moments: the silence embedded in the American nativist movement in the 1800s, the fascist engineering of silence in the 1900s, and how observers today argue silence is being imposed again, with some tips as to how we best fight back (hint: we question. A lot).   What to listen for: How a regime manufactures silence: (1) legal suppression; (2) fear and violence; (3) propaganda; (4) mythologized past; (5) erasing inconvenient history… and how we see each of these pieces in today's America. How early American nativists used silence in the mid-1800s - literally, with a party called the Know-Nothings - to quietly advance their agenda against European immigrants The early-1900s Americans who created laws to enforce silence (and fear) And how silence is being weaponized in America in 2026.  What can we each do? Speak up. Ask questions. Use your voice - and your voting voice. Be that friend who texts the group chat to make sure everybody's registered to vote and has a plan to get to the polling place.   

CAPTION 1802 ROMAN WOMEN.Roman Women Reshaping Ancient HistoryEmma Southon, author of A Rome of One's Own: The Forgotten Women of the Roman Empire, Part One: This interview explores early Roman history through the lives of its women, challenging traditional male-dominated narratives. Southon discusses how first-century historians like Livy wrote to flatter Emperor Augustus, shaping historical memory to justify his autocratic rise. The discussion starts with the founding of Rome, highlighting the forced mass kidnapping of the Sabine women and Hersilia's crucial, peacemaking intervention that united warring families. Southon contrasts Hersilia's virtuous legacy with Tarpeia, who betrayed Rome due to a perceived female greed for luxury. The narrative transitions to the Etruscan queen Tanaquil, who helped secure the monarchy, and her ambitious granddaughter Tullia, whose murderous path to the throne exemplified the corruptive nature of unchecked power. Finally, the interview details the tragic story of Lucretia, whose ultimate virtue and sudden suicide after her assault by the king's son became the direct catalyst for Brutus to overthrow the corrupt monarchy and successfully establish the Roman Republic.

Every room you walk into, you leave a scent behind. Not the perfume you're wearing — your presence. The thing that lingers after you've left. The spiritual fragrance that people associate with your name, your home, your workplace, your family. And Christine Caine wants to ask you directly: what does yours smell like? In episode five of A Life Unleashed, Christine Caine opens 2 Corinthians 2:14–17 and unpacks one of the most sensory and surprising images Paul ever used for the Christian life: the Roman triumph parade, where priests carried incense through the streets of Rome so that every citizen could smell the victory before they ever saw it. Paul says that is exactly what we are: the aroma of Christ, diffused through us everywhere we go, to everyone we meet. In this episode, Christine Caine shows that the gospel is not only good news to the ears — it is a good smell to the nose, and God Himself can smell it. She takes us through Scripture to show that smell has always mattered to God, from Noah's offering in Genesis to Mary's perfume filling the house in John 12 to Jesus Himself, the ultimate sweet-smelling sacrifice of Ephesians 5. She makes the case that whatever is in our hearts will inevitably diffuse out of our spiritual pores and that we cannot manufacture the fragrance of Christ through behavior alone. Just as perfume is made by the pressing and crushing of flowers, the sweet fragrance of Christ comes forth in us through the very seasons of brokenness and dying to self that we most want to avoid. And she names the hard truth: not everyone will love the scent. The same fragrance that smells like life to believers may smell like death to the lost, and the temptation to dilute the gospel to make it more palatable to the world will always be there. But if you change the chemical composition, it is no longer the same aroma. The takeaway that will stay with you: our spiritual influence on other people is directly proportional to the vitality of our own intimacy with Jesus. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ How do I make my faith feel real and visible to the people around me, not just something I believe privately? ✅ Why does it seem like some Christians have a quality about them that draws people in, while others repel? ✅ What does it actually mean to be a witness and is it something I do or something I am? ✅ How do I keep sharing the gospel when the world seems more hostile to it than ever? ✅ What do I do when following Jesus starts costing me socially or professionally? ✅ How do I let God change what's in my heart, not just my behavior? ✅ Why does brokenness and hardship seem to produce the most spiritually compelling people? …then this is your episode.

Rome: Triumph (pt I) by @Bog_Beef @Maarblek

Send us Fan MailThis week on What's the Scuttlebutt Podcast, we finally get caught up with Jeff, who's back from his trip overseas! Jeff shares some of the highlights from his time in Rome, including the history he experienced firsthand and some of the fascinating aspects of traveling through Italy.There are also some exciting upgrades behind the scenes. COGG has a new office, which means Jeff now has a faster and more reliable internet connection—and hopefully, an even better-quality show. Don also got the mixing board fixed, so we should be hearing a noticeable improvement in the audio quality as well!From there, we turn our attention to VJ Day, discussing the final days of World War II in the Pacific and the tragic story of the last pilot to die during the war—an incident that ultimately came down to a lack of communication.And, of course, we wrap things up with another edition of “Whatcha Reading?”All of this and more is coming up on Episode 230 of What's the Scuttlebutt Podcast!Support the show

Ryan thought running 50 kilometers through Rome would be the hard part of the family trip to Italy but he was wrong. In today's episode, he shares how the rest of the trip went completely off the rails and what happened after his family got home that made every travel disaster along the way seem small.

“Do you have any crosses without the little man on it?” That’s a real question a woman once asked in a jewelry store. And it says more about how we’ve sanitized the cross today than we’d like to admit.In this message, Pastor Greg Laurie walks us through the darkest hour in human history—and the love that held Jesus there. Notes: Luke 23 The cross was not a fashion statement.It was the most scandalous, horrifying symbol imaginable. Next to Christ’s arrival in Bethlehem, the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus are the most important events in human history. At the cross, God and man were reconciled. God's righteous demands were satisfied. It's not an accident that when Jesus instituted the Lord’s Supper, He pointed us straight back to the cross, “Do this in remembrance of Me.” Read 1 Corinthians 15:14–17 But here's the good news: Jesus did die, and He did rise again.And because of that, we know there really is life beyond the grave. That's what sets our faith apart from every other religion. The cross was not an accident, but a plan. God’s plan.Acts 2:23 The cross wasn't a detour from Jesus’ mission.It was the mission. Before there was a Bethlehem, there was a Calvary. Before there was a crown of thorns, a decision was made. Romans 5:8 (KJV)While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. John 10:18 (NIV)“No one takes My life from me, but I lay it down of My own accord” Christ’s road to the cross ran through a series of illegal and rigged hearings. Read Luke 23:26, 32–33 Simon from Cyrene was forced to carry the cross of Jesus. A garrison was 600 elite Roman legionnaires. Matthew 26:53 (NIV)“Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?” Jesus had access to more than 70,000 angels. God placed Simon there to have the greatest privilege: to ease the pain of Jesus momentarily as he carried His cross. This brush with Jesus changed Simon forever. Read Luke 23:33–43 The Romans did not invent crucifixion, but they took it to another level. Rome perfected it into a science of suffering. It was a punishment designed to produce the slowest possible death with the greatest possible pain. Crucifixion was death by suffocation. A crucified person might survive for hours, sometimes days. Your arms tire, and your chest can no longer expand to breathe.Therefore, you must push up against the nail in your feet to pull in another breath. THE SEVEN STATEMENTS FROM THE CROSS:1. “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34).2. “Today you will be with Me in Paradise” (Luke 23:43). 3. “Woman, behold your son! Son, behold your mother” (John 19:26).4. “My God, my God, why have You forsaken Me?” (Matthew 27:46).5. “I thirst” (John 19:28).6. “It is finished” (John 19:30).7. “Father, into Your hands I commend My spirit” (Luke 23:46). Matthew 5:44 (NKJV)“Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you.” Our sins put Jesus on the cross. Acts 2:36 (NKJV)“God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.” That first prayer from the cross, “Father, forgive them,” was ultimately answered.Thousands of those very people were cut to the heart, turned, and believed. No one is beyond the reach of prayer. The two criminals couldn't have escaped their crosses.Jesus could have escaped His with a single word to Heaven. No one is beyond the reach of God, not even a hardened criminal. Believing in Jesus can happen in a flash. Read Luke 23:40–42 This man, only moments old in his new faith, had amazing insight.He knew Jesus was the Son of God and would be going to His kingdom. Luke 23:43 (NIV)“Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.” Luke 9:23 (ESV)“If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me.” The cross means dying to self. Luke 9:24 (NIV)“For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for Me will save it.” The world says, “Find yourself.”Jesus says, “Lose yourself.” Losing your life for His sake isn't the loss of everything.It's the discovery of everything that matters. Isaiah 53:10 (NKJV)It pleased the LORD to bruise Him. Jesus died to show His love for us. If you are ever tempted to doubt God’s love for you, look at the cross. Jesus died to absorb the wrath of God. Jesus suffered and died to provide our forgiveness and justification. Christianity says, “Done!”Jesus said, “It is finished; it is accomplished!” Christ’s love for you and me held Him to the cross. — Become a Harvest Partner today and join us in knowing God and making Him known through media and large-scale evangelism, our mission of over 30 years.

CAPTION 1480The Climactic Battle of ActiumBarry Strauss, Part Two: This episode details the climactic 31 BC naval Battle of Actium, which unfolded as a logistical masterpiece orchestrated by Octavian's brilliant admiral, Marcus Agrippa. By capturing the critical supply base of Methone, Agrippa cuts Antony's supply lines, blockading his forces in Greece's malarial swamps. Antony and Cleopatra attempt a breakout by sea. On September 2, Cleopatra escapes with sixty ships carrying Egypt's treasury, and Antony follows, abandoning his army. Despite desperate resistance, Antony's remaining fleet is destroyed with fire arrows. Octavian closes the trap in Alexandria. Believing Cleopatra committed suicide, Antony kills himself; Cleopatra follows in death, using a smuggled cobra. Octavian secures absolute victory by executing Cleopatra's son Caesarion, the rival heir of Julius Caesar. Returning to Rome, Octavian rebrands himself as Augustus, establishing the Roman Empire by masterfully wielding authority over raw power. This victory completely reshapes Mediterranean history, sealing the historic rise of the empire. (2)

CAPTION ANTONY & CLEOPATRACunning Octavian Challenges Mark AntonyBarry Strauss, author of The War That Made the Roman Empire: Antony, Cleopatra, and Octavian at Actium, Part One: This episode introduces the core conflict following Julius Caesar's death between his young, ambitious heir Octavianand his experienced lieutenant Mark Antony. Alongside Lepidus, they form the Second Triumvirate to defeat Caesar's assassins, ending with a major victory at Philippi attributed primarily to Antony. Despite Antony's pedigree, Octavian possesses supreme Machiavellian political cunning. In 41 BC, Antony meets Cleopatra, the incredibly wealthy and powerful queen of Egypt, establishing a critical military and financial alliance. Octavian counters this through the strategic marriage of Antony to his sister Octavia and aggressive information warfare in Rome. Guided by his brilliant, low-born military commander Marcus Agrippa, Octavian's star rises through the Illyrian war, while Antony suffers massive losses in Parthia. The conflict intensifies when Antony divorces Octavia, handing Octavian a massive propaganda victory. Antony's move forces a decisive showdown for ultimate control over the Roman world. Both camps prepare for an impending naval battle. (1)

Shelby Bond's Dungeons & Shakespeare is a hilarious and interactive blend of two seemingly disparate elements of pop culture that share more qualities than you might think. Bond reveals the shows Renaissance Faire origins and how early triumphs like Testaclese and Ye Sack of Rome led to its creation; how one survives the challenges of small theaters with no dressing rooms; how the show depends on chaos and if you plan your adventure, they inevitably crash and burn; how improv differs from magic; what Edinburgh offers that Ren Faires and other festivals don't; how getting audiences is the work but doing the show is the reward; the power of transforming from a sad mountebank into wandering Troubador; and how Shakespeare – perhaps surprisingly – meets Dungeons & Dragons where it lives. (Length 21:31) The post Dungeons & Shakespeare appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.

Visiting Rome by Radio Islam

.One of the great tragedies of Western history is the severing of the Druidic lineage: an oral tradition carried in the body and the voice, hunted to near-extinction by Rome, leaving an entire people with no way to trace themselves back to their own indigenous roots. Emilio Miller-Lopez is one of thehttps://greenseek.ai/ rare few who found the thread and followed it home. Sent back toward his own ancestry by Native elders who told him the mending of the sacred hoop meant finding his own roots rather than borrowing theirs, he was eventually initiated as a bard of the Gaelic Order of Ulster through a student of Ben McGrady — the last of the old druids — and spent the next two decades rebuilding indigenous European culture through music, festival, and the seasonal fire calendar. He also builds AI.The conversation moves from the oak groves to the data centers and finds the same story told twice. Emilio traces the word dominion — man's dominion over the beasts, dominion over the land, dominion over human beings under chattel slavery — straight to Dominion Energy, the monopoly utility now sitting at the crossroads of the entire AI buildout in Northern Virginia. Along the way: what Julius Caesar actually recorded about the Druids and their astronomy, why Merlin was a title rather than a man, why the cross-quarter fire festivals survived two thousand years of suppression when the written lineage did not, and why the real practice was never supernatural power but the far harder discipline of going into a grove and listening.Then the harder question, and the one the whole episode turns on: whether this new magic can be used without repeating the extraction that built everything before it. Emilio makes the case that abstaining isn't resistance — that the kid who hates AI could be using AI to fight the AI she hates — and that nothing has ever displaced a polluting incumbent except a more attractive alternative, the way organic food went from a co-op fringe to the shelves at Walmart. They get into why running a hyper-cluster to generate a recipe is hitting a thumbtack with a sledgehammer, what happens to your most private questions once they become a product, hallucination inside weapons targeting systems, and the strange synchronicities that started showing up when he pointed a machine at Pythagorean number theory. His line for all of it: intelligence that does not serve life is suicidal.

Greg Jenner is joined in ancient Rome by Professor Lucy Grig and comedian Ivo Graham to learn all about Emperor Constantine the Great and the Christianisation of the Roman empire. Born not in Rome but in the Balkans, Constantine's life was shaped by the turbulent politics of the late third century. He grew up as Emperor Diocletian – remembered now as a savage persecutor of Christians – was establishing the Tetrarchy, with four rulers now in control of the empire. One of these was Constantine's father, Constantius. But when Constantius died in York, his son was acclaimed emperor in his place, kicking off a violent civil war. This episode traces Constantine's life, from his childhood through to his elevation as emperor, taking in his extraordinary victory at Milvian Bridge, the vision that allegedly encouraged his conversion to Christianity, and his founding of Constantinople as a New Rome. It also examines his relationship with his mother, later known as Saint Helena, the bloody path he carved to the imperial throne, and his role in the pivotal Council of Nicaea, a landmark event in Christian history. If you're a fan of religious revolutions, bloody Roman power politics, and historical nepo babies, you'll love our episode on Constantine the Great. If you want more Roman rulers, listen to our episodes on the Rise of Julius Caesar, Agrippina the Younger, or Emperor Nero, with Professor Mary Beard and Patton Oswalt. And for more on the Christianisation of the Roman empire, check out our episode on Hypatia of Alexandria. You're Dead To Me is the comedy podcast that takes history seriously. Every episode, Greg Jenner brings together the best names in history and comedy to learn and laugh about the past.

James White - John 2:1-12 - God ordained marriage as one of the very first institutions amongst men, and honored it by attending a wedding in Cana of Galilee in the Person of His Son. We will consider Jesus' relationship with His mother in this story, a vital topic when we seek to proclaim good news to those who have imbibed Rome's teachings on Mary. Next week as we finish the chapter we will look at false and true faith, and Jesus' teaching on real discipleship. "It is a high honor given to marriage, that Christ not only deigned to be present at a nuptial banquet, but honored it with his first miracle." (John Calvin)

In this interview, Shaun Gallagher discusses The Self and its Disorders (Oxford University Press, 2024) A ground-breaking theory of the self as a pattern Interdisciplinary, drawing on philosophy of mind, phenomenology, cognitive psychology, psychiatry, and dynamical systems analysis Discusses the role of self-narrative in self-formation, its breakdown in various psychopathologies, and its role in therapy Explores the phenomenology of agency and its disruption in various psychopathologies Outlines a 4E (embodied, embedded, extended and enactive) approach to understanding the effects of different therapies for psychopathologies Shaun Gallagher offers an account of psychopathologies as disorders of the self. The Self and its Disorders develops an interdisciplinary approach to an 'integrative' perspective in psychiatry. In contrast to some integrative approaches that focus on narrow brain-based conceptions, or on symptomology, this book takes its bearings from embodied and enactive conceptions of human experience. Gallagher offers an understanding of the self as a pattern of processes that include bodily, experiential, affective, cognitive, intersubjective, narrative, ecological and normative factors. He provides a philosophical analysis of the notion of self-pattern; then, drawing on phenomenological, developmental, clinical and experimental evidence, he proposes a method to study the effects of psychopathologies on the self-pattern. The book includes specific discussions of schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, depression, borderline personality disorder, and autism, among other disorders, as well as the effects of torture and solitary confinement. It also explores a variety of issues that relate to therapeutic approaches, including deep brain stimulation, meditation-based interventions, and the use of artificial intelligence and virtual reality. Prof Shaun Gallagher, Lillian and Morrie Moss Chair of Excellence in Philosophy, University of Memphis Shaun Gallagher, PhD, Hon DPhil., is the Lillian and Morrie Moss Professor of Excellence in Philosophy at the University of Memphis, and Professorial Fellow at the School of Liberal Arts, University of Wollongong.

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports on the rescue of two workers trapped in a hydropower facility tunnel in Nepal; Israel releases more Lebanese citizens; a Switzerland ceremony honoring satirical science awards; and tourist golf carts let loose on Rome's narrow streets.

Pope St. Gregory the Great gave up a life of power in Rome for prayer — then used the papacy to feed the hungry and send missionaries to Britain. Gregory walked away from his post as Prefect of Rome to become a monk, only to be called back and eventually elected pope in 590. As pope, he wouldn't sit down to eat until Rome's hungry were fed first — and he never forgot a group of enslaved boys he'd once seen in the Forum, eventually sending missionaries across the sea to bring them, and all of Britain, the Catholic faith. "Who are these boys, and where do they come from?" Today's challenge is just the start.

I'm in Atlanta for Dragon Con, and normally that would give me a chance to see what the campaigns are putting on television. But I don't expect to see many political ads while I'm in the Peach State, because Georgia's Senate race wasn't supposed to look like this. It was supposed to be Brian Kemp against Jon Ossoff — a heavyweight fight if there ever was one. But Kemp didn't run; Mike Collins won the Republican primary, and plenty of Georgia Republicans really, really hate him. Ossoff has made himself more palatable and taken enough tough votes to argue that he'll side with Georgia when his party doesn't. I've been an Ossoff skeptic, but right now you can't argue with it. I think this race is a wrap.Republicans have two exceptionally weak Senate challengers in states where they should perform well: Collins in Georgia and Michael Whatley in North Carolina. I'll eat the L on Whatley because I thought he'd do better. I expected the environment to be bad for Republicans, but we've reached the point where nobody not named Donald Trump feels comfortable telling voters how awesome everything is. Trump's secret is that you always say it's awesome. Sometimes people believe you, sometimes they don't, but you can't have a parade unless somebody leads it. In Georgia, I think this race is wrapped. Ossoff will remain a senator.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Meanwhile, a federal judge has blocked Trump's latest attempt to narrow birthright citizenship. The revised order targeted alleged birth tourism, certain foreign-government employees, and people designated as alien enemies, but Judge Deborah Boardman said those categories barely resembled the exceptions previously recognized by the Supreme Court and found the order almost certainly unconstitutional. This is the Trump 2.0 philosophy: Get shots up. Push, push, push. Make judges knock it down, take it to the Supreme Court, and make the justices rule.I've tried to interrogate why I don't get as angry or worried about every one of these moves as other people do. Part of it is that there are so many of them, and I need to see how they rattle around before developing an emotional opinion. I'm willing to accept the criticism that I'm whistling while Rome burns, or while an arsonist fiddles with a matchbook. But the alternative is becoming a herky-jerky psychopath whose emotions are entirely controlled by the Trump administration. They decide when you're mad, sad, or happy because everything depends on their latest action. I don't want that, either.Finally, Hakeem Jeffries also got another preview of life with a narrow Democratic majority after Jared Golden and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez rescued a Republican procedural vote without warning him. Jeffries and Democratic leaders called it a serious breach of trust and sent the matter to a caucus committee, triggering backlash from progressives and centrists worried about uneven punishment and loyalty rules. If Democrats win a WINO majority — fewer than 15 seats — this will be Jeffries' life. Be careful what you wish for, Speaker Jeffries.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:01:45 - Georgia00:06:27 - Midterms with Bill Scher00:32:07 - Update00:34:33 - House of Representatives00:36:06 - Birthright Citizenship00:39:18 - Hakeem Jeffries00:40:46 - Midterms with Bill Scher, con't01:03:44 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Jake Rome, co-founder of Backflip, joins us to share the wild journey from institutional real estate private equity to building a vertically integrated lending platform for fix-and-flip investors! Jake breaks down the return-on-equity math that makes single-family flips so powerful, then digs into the leverage and risk decisions that separate successful investors from those who blow up their portfolios. He explains why Backflip decided to service and securitize its own loans, what red flags show up in underwriting (wholesaler markups, seller concessions), and how Chicago's Cook County foreclosure timeline uniquely impacts local lending. Jake also shares his outlook on where the fix-and-flip capital markets are headed, plus how he's using AI to run his own real estate portfolio.

⁠⁠Help keep our podcast going by contributing to our Patreon! One of the most famous quotes from Augustus' reign was “I found Rome a city of bricks and left it a city of marble.” And Augustus did that—he had a real thing for construction. Augustus would leave his mark on Rome, and the city would never be able to forget him. Turns out this is…how do we put this…fascism-coded. Other authoritarians have also loved to build things—including, very noticeably, Donald Trump. Why is that? Why do dictators feel a need to build things and slap their names on buildings (even when they didn't build them)? In this episode, we're going to unpack that—comparing the record of Augustus and Donald Trump when it comes to building, defacing (under the guise of "renovation"), slapping their names on buildings and putting their claims on the narratives those buildings tell.

It's Thursday, September 3rd, 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 Jonathan Clark Iranian Muslim leaders killed 33 Christian ministers recently Iranian authorities have killed at least 33 Christian ministers in the past few months. The pastors were serving with Iran Alive Ministries, a Texas-based organization that supports house churches in the country. Authorities also arrested 131 Christians associated with the organization. Some of them are now on death row.  Despite this persecution, the ministry reports 5,849 Muslims have converted to Christianity this year. Iran Alive founder Hormoz Shariat  told the Baptist Press, “Christian prisoners consider prison as their place of ministry and they are leading many people to Christ.” The Apostle Paul was also a witness in prison. Acts 16:25 says, “But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.” Iran-American War reaches sixth month The war between Iran and the United States continued into its six month last week. The United States carried out strikes on Iran's southern coast on Tuesday. Iran fired on U.S. bases in the region. It's the biggest exchange between the two countries since July, according to Reuters.  Despite ongoing conflict, oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz have rebounded to about two-thirds of pre-war levels.  Christian convert from Iran received asylum in Canada A Christian convert from Iran recently received asylum in Canada after being deported from the U.S. Twenty-seven-year old Artemis Ghasemzadeh entered America in 2024. If returned to Iran, she would face extreme persecution. International Christian Concern noted, “Refugees fleeing religious persecution have traditionally been granted asylum on American soil, but they faced more stringent border and refugee laws under the Trump administration. Ghasemzadeh pursued asylum in Canada after lawyers advised her that the United States was unlikely to allow her to return.”  Litigation over the Abortion Kill Pill delated until after midterms Litigation in the U.S. over the abortion kill pill is being delayed until after the midterm elections in November.  The case began last December. Florida and Texas challenged the original approval of the abortion drug mifepristone in 2000 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.  However, a federal judge paused the lawsuit on Sunday until at least December 1. If successful, the lawsuit would make the abortion drug unavailable in all states. Florida removing all Flock cameras Florida is removing all Flock cameras from state roads. Flock cameras automatically read license plates and capture vehicle data for law enforcement, neighborhoods, and businesses. The Florida Department of Transportation recently revoked permits for license plate readers, including Flock cameras along highways. The cameras are the subject of privacy concerns across the nation, especially alleged misuse of the cameras by police officers.  Listen to comments from Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis. DESANTIS: “I'm all about having law enforcement have tools to be able to hold criminals accountable. I think that's important that we do that. No one's been stronger on law enforcement than me. But I don't want to have this become a surveillance state.” American church attendance up Churches are seeing more people attend worship services in recent years. A new survey from Lifeway Research found 54 percent of U.S. Protestant pastors report a growing church. Thirty-percent report a plateaued church. And 16 percent report a declining church.  Scott McConnell, executive director of Lifeway Research, noted, “Given the trajectory of many churches before COVID, we expected to see more pastors reporting declines in attendance. However, we continue to see a majority of pastors saying their attendance is higher than two years ago.” Archeological proof that Christ's tomb in garden And finally, recent archaeological discoveries in Jerusalem support biblical accounts. Francesca Stasolla is an archaeology professor at the Sapienza University of Rome. Last year, she led an excavation focused on the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem. The site is believed to be the location of Jesus' crucifixion and the empty tomb. The area was used as a stone quarry before Roman occupation. Later it was used for agriculture and tombs. The archeological effort discovered ancient seeds and pollen there. Stasolla told Fox News Digital that the pollen and seeds date to “between the use of the quarry and the Roman age, when the area had a funerary use”, meaning it was used for burying the dead. This aligns with the New Testament. John 19:41 says, “Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, September 3rd, in the year of our Lord 2026.

In the late 160s AD, the Roman armies of Marcus Aurelius recruited large numbers of troops from the islands east of Jutland, in what is now Denmark. After Marcus' death in 180, his German campaigns were abandoned and the Romans withdrew to the Danube. Some of the demobilised troops returned north and ‘revolutionised their cultural world', as Michael Kulikowski wrote recently in the LRB, ‘by adapting the lessons they had learned in Roman service'. On this episode, Michael joins Tom to discuss his review of an ‘extraordinary book' by Dagfinn Skre, ‘which gives Scandinavia an ancient history for the very first time'. There is no written record of the period, ‘no text to impose its tyranny of words', but the proxy evidence – coins, arms, stones, seeds – ‘converges on the existence of a late second-century watershed that produced a complete transformation in Scandinavian society in response to interaction with Rome'. Whether or not a pair of polar bears made it to the Colosseum, however, remains an open question.

What is Rome to do when they gaze out from the top of the Capitol and all they can see are the neighbours they don't like or the neighbours that don't like them?

After all, who doesn't enjoy upsetting the Etruscans?The Camillus show continues in c. 386 and 385 BCE! But the Romans seem to be facing tensions not just from their enemies, but even from those who they used to count on as allies…Journey to the NorthThere's nothing for it by for the Romans to send aid north. And who should be tasked with leadership for this support but Camillus. He's not happy to go alone, however, and he's joined by fellow military tribune with consular power, Valerius Poplicola.

When people hear phrases like “human sacrifice” or “cannibalism” their minds don't immediately jump to the Crusades, Rome, medieval Europe, or the Bible. They jump straight to brown skin, feathered headdresses, and temples drenched in blood. Type in a quick Google search for the phrase and Mesoamericans (the Mexika/Aztec, in particular) become humanity's favorite villains. “Savage.” “Bloodthirsty.” “Barbaric.” And rest assured, this narrative didn't just happen by accident.

Kyle Thompson, host of Undaunted Life and co-creator of The Daily Blade devotional, sits down with Tim in The Basement for a raw conversation on what it actually means to be a Godly man in a culture that doesn't know what to do with one. They dig into the tension between strength and softness, why so many men default to being all lion or all lamb, what The Chosen got right about the woman who touched Jesus' garment, and why the church needs to learn how to "hold tension" instead of avoiding it. Kyle also opens up about training men physically and spiritually through his coaching program Dominion, what he's learned raising his sons to be undaunted, and why meekness, not aggression, is the real mark of a man who's dangerous and disciplined at the same time. This one will challenge you, convict you, and probably make you want to go do a wall sit.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you feel led, please use the link below to support us financially as we continue the mission of normalizing vulnerability and upsetting the world.

Is America actually in decline, or are we just watching the same cycle that has destroyed civilizations before?Michael Malice (“YOUR WELCOME”) welcomes author and political blogger, Curtis Yarvin, onto the show for a provocative look at the fate of America, and whether the country is approaching the end of an era. They dig into Rome, California, and whether the West is genuinely in trouble, or if comparing America to collapsing civilizations is just “astrology for men.”Curtis challenges Michael's optimism about the state of the world and lays out his darker predictions for what could happen if Republicans lose in 2028. They also revisit 9/11, the Cold War, the decline of high-trust society, the exponential growth of parasocial relationships, and the increasingly tribal nature of American politics. Somehow, even Danny Bonaduce becomes part of the historical analogy.And beneath it all is one uncomfortable question: have Americans lost the ability to change their political reality, or is something much bigger about to break? And, if the current system really is heading toward a reckoning, will 2028 finally produce the candidate willing to look the entire political establishment in the face and simply say: “F you.”https://x.com/curtis_yarvinhttps://graymirror.substack.com/https://passage.press/collections/curtis-yarvinPre-Order UNWANTED – A TALE OF THE OLD WEST AND THE NEW WAVE: https://UnwantedBook.comOrder THE WHITE PILL: http://whitepillbook.com/Order THE ANARCHIST HANDBOOK: https://www.amzn.com/B095DVF8FJOrder THE NEW RIGHT: https://amzn.to/2IFFCCuOrder DEAR READER: https://t.co/vZfTVkK6qf?amp=1https://twitter.com/michaelmalicehttps://instagram.com/michaelmalicehttps://malice.locals.comhttps://youtube.com/michaelmaliceofficialIntro song: "Out of Reach" by Legendary House Cats https://thelegendaryhousecats.bandcamp.com/The newest episode of "YOUR WELCOME" releases on iTunes and YouTube every Wednesday!

Who wrote the Epistle to the Hebrews? The author never identifies himself—yet the letter leaves behind a compelling trail of internal clues, manuscript evidence, and early-church testimony.

Wir springen in dieser Folge ins Jahr 255 vdZw. Eine riesige römische Flotte zerschellt in diesem Sommer an der Südküste Siziliens. Wir sprechen darüber, wie Rom überhaupt zu einer solchen Flotte kam, was katastrophale Rückschläge für das antike Rom grundsätzlich bedeuteten und wie sehr wir eigentlich den Angaben antiker Autoren trauen dürfen. //Erwähnte Folgen - GAG435: Die Schlacht bei Carrhae – https://gadg.fm/435 - GAG393: Die Schlacht von Zama – https://gadg.fm/393 - GAG406: Die SMS Wolf und die Piraten des Kaisers – https://gadg.fm/406 // Literatur - Goldsworthy, Adrian: The Fall of Carthage: The Punic Wars 265–146 BC.

St. Ingrid of Skänninge turned her grief as a young widow into pilgrimages all the way to Jerusalem and Rome. Widowed young, the Swedish noblewoman Ingrid began gathering with other women to pray, then set out walking — first to Santiago de Compostela, then to the Holy Land itself, then to Rome — offering every hard mile to God. When she came home to Skänninge, she turned that same devotion into a Dominican convent built entirely around a shared life of prayer. "Holiness isn't something you find alone in a corner — it's something you walk toward, often side by side with others." Ingrid's challenge doesn't have to end when the episode does.

A counterfactual thought experiment — a departure from the usual researched history on this channel. Thanks to subscriber @history1099 for the idea.In the real world, the Emperor Aurelian reunified a collapsing Rome, rebuilt its currency around the Unconquered Sun, and was murdered in 275 AD by his own officers over a forged kill-list — nine years before Diocletian had to redo the whole recovery. But what if the blade had missed? This is the "what if": a Rome that never fell, a world of three empires instead of a hundred nations, no America, and a war fought not with armies but on a ledger. It's a fiction — but the coin, the currency reform, and the assassination at the center of it are real.Most of my Rome work now lives on The Roman Pattern — heavily researched deep dives on the Republic, the Empire, and civilizational collapse.

What can St. Lawrence teach Catholics about suffering, courage, peace, and Christian joy?In 258 AD, during the persecution of Christians in Rome, St. Lawrence knew that martyrdom could be waiting for him. When the authorities demanded the treasures of the Church, Lawrence famously presented them with the poor. And when he was eventually condemned to a brutal death on the gridiron, tradition remembers him responding with extraordinary courage—and even humor.But the lesson of St. Lawrence goes far beyond one famous line.Christian joy is not pretending that suffering doesn't hurt. It isn't optimism, comfort, or having everything go according to plan. It is possessing something that circumstances cannot touch.Your plans can collapse.You can lose money.People can turn against you.Your career can disappear.Your health can fail.Your reputation can be taken from you.Even your life will eventually be taken.But Christ cannot be taken from you.That changes everything.In this episode, we look at St. Lawrence and the Christian understanding of joy as a form of defiance against despair. We also consider the courage of persecuted Catholics and the remarkable story of St. Eustace as reminders that suffering does not get the final word.Three lessons stand out:1. Stop asking circumstances for permission to have peace.2. Learn to laugh at what frightens you.3. Remember what cannot be taken from you.
