    We live in a culture that constantly craves applause, where even sincere acts of faith can quietly become performances aimed at earning approval. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar remind believers that this desire for recognition is deeply rooted in idolatry and must be surrendered to God. The guys encourage Christians to examine their motives, especially in ministry, and to serve out of love rather than a desire for recognition. Preaching should be centered on God's Word, not on entertainment or showmanship. While humor and illustrations can be helpful, they should never distract from the truth or shift the focus away from Christ. The rise of social media exacerbates this struggle, training hearts to equate value with attention; yet, the call of the gospel is to live for God's glory alone. True freedom comes through the cross, where believers are already entirely accepted by God. Rooted in that security, we can walk humbly, pray continually, and serve faithfully, knowing that obedience and love—not applause—are the marks of a life that pleases Him.Send us a textThanks for listening!

    7. Bucharest 2008 and the Failed Bid to Prevent Russian Aggression. Serhii Plokhy (Professor of Ukrainian History at Harvard University) discusses how Vladimir Putin's powerful presidency, rooted in a manipulated super-presidential constitution, enabled him to assert the right to dictate which countries could align with the West. The April 2008 NATO summit in Bucharest was a critical turning point. Though the US, led by George W. Bush, favored inviting Ukraine and Georgia to join the alliance, Western allies, notably Germany, opposed the idea, leading to a split. The outcome—a promise of future membership with no specifics—was the "worst outcome possible." Putin used this weakness, starting a war in Georgia months later, effectively annexing territory and disqualifying Georgia from joining NATO due to territorial conflicts. This demonstrated that Ukraine and Georgia had exposed themselves to future Russian attacks by publicly seeking NATO membership without securing "meaningful Western support," meaning military aid. Domestically, Putin viewed the 2004 Orange Revolution, which rejected his preferred candidate Viktor Yanukovych, as a threat to his own power structure. Yanukovych later returned and, in 2013, was bribed and pressured by Russia not to sign an EU association agreement, sparking the Euromaidan Revolution which served as a stepping stone toward the 2014 Crimean annexation.

    This guided Christian meditation is an imaginative prayer on Luke 19:1–10. Together, we’ll pause for Scripture meditation and reflection, entering the story of Zacchaeus and experiencing the transforming love of Jesus. Step Eight of the 12 Steps says: We made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all. It’s not easy to admit the ways we’ve caused harm — especially when it feels easier to remember how others have hurt us. But this step invites us to own what’s ours, and to ask God for the willingness to make things right. In this meditation, we’ll reflect on the story of Zacchaeus, a corrupt tax collector. We’ll enter the scene through imaginative prayer — first as one of the townspeople and then as Zacchaeus himself. As you listen, you’ll be invited to ask God to guide you toward the next gentle step He is inviting you to take. Take a deep breath and join me in this amazing grace-filled story.

He was the chief tax collector in the region, and he had become very rich. He tried to get a look at Jesus, but he was too short to see over the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree beside the road, for Jesus was going to pass that way. When Jesus came by, he looked up at Zacchaeus and called him by name. “Zacchaeus!” he said. “Quick, come down! I must be a guest in your home today.” Zacchaeus quickly climbed down and took Jesus to his house in great excitement and joy. But the people were displeased. “He has gone to be the guest of a notorious sinner,” they grumbled. Meanwhile, Zacchaeus stood before the Lord and said, “I will give half my wealth to the poor, Lord, and if I have cheated people on their taxes, I will give them back four times as much!” Jesus responded, “Salvation has come to this home today, for this man has shown himself to be a true son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost.” Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

    “  I feel like Berlin is a city where anything is possible, while never quite achieving polished glamor. And that's its charm. There is no steep hierarchy to enter the art scene, or any scene to be honest. And that is what we wanted to reflect here in Château Royal Berlin, this kind of openness and uniqueness.”We're in great company with Kirsten Landwehr, co-founder and curator of Château Royal, an enchanting and eccentric boutique hotel in the heart of Berlin Mitte, where craftsmanship and reinterpretation have revived what was once en vogue during the city's former golden ages, now adorned with contemporary art and convivial hosts.Rooted in Berlin's creative pulse, Kirsten and her husband, restaurateur Stephan Landwehr of Grill Royal fame, have transformed two historic buildings into a living gallery—one that celebrates design, culture, and the art of gathering. With her background in art and photography curation, Kirsten's vision marries history and modernity with effortless elegance.In this episode, Kirsten shares how she's shaped Berlin's art and hospitality scenes—revealing her philosophy on collecting, creating soulful spaces, and honoring the ever-evolving spirit of her city.Top Takeaways[2:00] As a child, Kirsten always dreamed of a bigger and better world. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, she decided to set out and steward that world herself. [4:00] How Kirsten and her husband, Stephan, with their shared appreciation for Berlin's creative energy and culinary artistry, fed and fueled the birth of Berlin's contemporary art scene through their cult classic restaurant, Grill Royal. [7:00] Hear the turbulent history of two historic buildings in the heart of Berlin Mitte, steps away from the Brandenburg Gate—from being the center of the Golden Twenties to falling into disrepair after WWII, from being used for surveillance during the GDR to housing the studios of squatting artists after the Berlin Wall.  [9:00] As Kirsten and Stephan breathed new life into these buildings, curating what would become Château Royal Berlin, they set out to create a space that was “decidedly cosmopolitan, yet unimaginable in any other city.”[10:20] Today, Château Royal Berlin is full of life and conviviality—as locals and travelers, artists and guests, fill the space with their own perspectives and fresh ideas. [11:45] With 93 guest rooms to design and a deep personal determination that no two would be the same, Kirsten invited her artist community to fill their spaces. What then became #93Rooms93Artists, was a permanent home for these artists to proudly showcase their work, host their own guests and welcome in new friends.[14:30] At Restaurant Château Royal, a creative menu and curated atmosphere proves food can be fancy while still being familiar and fresh.Notable MentionsDirector Edward BergerArtist & Art Collector Damien HirstChâteau Royal's Guide to BerlinSaint Charles ApothecaryVenini Lamps & Chandeliers Visit For YourselfChâteau Royal Berlin Website | @chateauroyalberlin

    A big fight over housing density has been brewing in Littleton for years, and with voters set to decide the fate of Mayor Kyle Schlachter's “missing middle” housing reforms early next month, the debate is getting nasty! A rival mayoral candidate, Patrick Driscoll, was recently caught on a Ring camera swiping Schlachter's campaign materials. So, what's got Littleton so heated? We're revisiting a conversation host Bree Davies had with Mayor Schlachter earlier this year about where this push for density in Denver's south suburbs came from and why some of his constituents are so upset.  Housing density is certainly a major issue in Littleton's mayoral election, but it's specifically at issue in Ballot Question 3A. If that passes, the city charter would lock in historic zoning rules. That question was placed on the ballot by a citizen-led group called Rooted in Littleton, which Mayor Schlachter discusses in this episode at length.  This episode originally aired on June 25, 2025.  What do you think about the housing fight in Littleton?

    In this episode, we welcome Nik from Rooted Leaf to the Circle to discuss a revolutionary approach to feeding cannabis that is perfect for the homegrower focusing on natural and regenerative inputs. Nik breaks down the science behind carbon-based fertilization and how it is changing the game for increasing potency and yield!Key Highlights You Won't Want to Miss:• Carbon as a Macronutrient: Learn why Rooted Leaf treats carbon as the most important macronutrient. Since cannabinoids and terpenes are 80-90% carbon by weight, Nik explains how feeding carbon directly into plant pathways significantly boosts the production of these active metabolites.• Fertilizer that Feeds Your Soil: Rooted Leaf products are designed to work harmoniously with regenerative and living soil systems. We clarify the common confusion: despite regulatory labeling, their products are not bagged mineral salts. Instead, they are organic complexes manufactured from scratch using fermentation chemistry (e.g., calcium chelate from fermented orange peels), which contributes to and feeds the soil biology.• Small Pots, Massive Results: Hear directly from Howling who has pulled almost an ounce from a solo cup using Rooted Leaf products, demonstrating how effective this modular product line is even for small pot organics..• The Gateway Product for Natural Growers: Even if you're running a well-amended living soil, Nik has recommendations for how to incorporate some of the products for immediate results.• Saving Energy, Boosting Potency: Discover the unique thermodynamic perspective on feeding plants. By providing plants with compounds they would normally have to spend energy making (like a "half-built cell wall"), Rooted Leaf allows them to redirect that saved energy into producing high-energy molecules—cannabinoids and terpenes.• Natural "Sunscreen" for Your Plants: Nik details how plant extracts rich in anthocyanins (found in their products) can be used as a foliar spray to interact directly with excess light energy, acting like a protective sunscreen. This reduces oxidative stress, allowing home growers to utilize higher light intensities indoors.• DIY Homebrew Tip: Nik shares his recommended entry-level beneficial input that any homegrower can easily make.Tune in to get smarter about feeding your plants and elevate your next homegrow!

    This guided Christian meditation on James 4:6–8, 10 invites you to pause, breathe, and make space for God to meet you with His generous grace. Step Seven of the 12 Steps says: “We humbly asked God to remove our shortcomings.” Once we are ready for God to change us (Step Six), the natural next step is to come before Him in humility. Not with promises we can’t keep, but with open hands, asking Him to do what we cannot do for ourselves. That’s the heart of this meditation. James reminds us that “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” As you listen, you’ll be invited to notice where your loyalties are divided between God and the world, and to bring those shortcomings humbly before God. Humility doesn’t press us down or leave us in shame — it draws us close to God. And as James promises, when we come close to Him, He comes close to us. He doesn’t push us away but lifts us up in His love and honor. Take a deep breath and let this meditation guide you into a posture of humility, honesty, and hope. God’s grace is generous, and He is ready to meet you right where you are.

    Jesus tells his disciples a parable about their need to pray always and not to lose heart. We ask Sarah Stenson: Is it possible to pray without ceasing? Can you decide not to lose heart? What is the point of prayer? Jesus delivers one of the greatest promises in this passage. He says, “And will not God grant justice to his chosen ones who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long in helping them? I tell you, he will quickly grant justice to them.” God not only promises to hear our prayers, but he promises not to delay in responding to them. Don't lose heart. God hears you. He's given you faith. CARE OF SOULS - ADDICTIONIn Care of Souls, a special mini-series podcast from Luther House of Study, Lutheran pastors and theologians come together to explore the deeply personal and pastoral task of preaching to and caring for those struggling with life's challenging situations: addiction, death, family disharmony, and more. Rooted in the theology of the cross and the Lutheran tradition of radical grace, this series offers both theological depth and practical guidance for pastors, church workers, and lay leaders. With conversations, real-life stories, and reflections from the front lines of ministry, Care of Souls equips listeners to enter the broken places of addiction not with easy answers, but with the crucified and risen Christ. Because in the end, it's not about fixing people—it's about preaching the Gospel. Care of Souls - AddictionCONFIRMATION Does your church have a confirmation class?

It declares our freedom from sin and our new identity in Him.In this four-part series on the command “Baptize My Disciples,” we are invited to see baptism not as a symbolic obligation, but as a profound declaration of our union with Christ. Rooted in the authority and love of the risen Savior, baptism marks the believer's identity in Him, testifying that we have died to sin and been raised in newness of life. Through teaching, testimony, and Scripture, we are reminded that this command is both deeply spiritual and practically essential—anchored in Christ's power, pointing always to His glory, and flowing from a life of discipleship.

You discover your God-given purpose when you recognize how God has uniquely gifted you, how He has corporately called you, and when you live that calling out through serving.I. Created to ServeYou weren't created just to exist or consume—you were created to serve.Ephesians 2:10 — “We are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works.”God designed you intentionally, not accidentally.Serving isn't a punishment or chore—it's how we participate in God's purpose.Jesus modeled this: “The Son of Man came not to be served but to serve.” (Mark 10:45)II. Gifted to ServeGod wired you with a unique mix of natural abilities and spiritual gifts.Romans 12:4–6 — We are one body with many parts, each with a function.Every believer has spiritual gifts for the building up of the church.Your story, passions, and talents reveal what God designed you to do.“Serving is not about filling a spot—it's about fulfilling a calling.”III. Called to Serve1 Peter 4:10 — “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others.”God didn't gift you for isolation or self-gain; He placed you in community.The church is the place where individual gifting meets God's collective mission.Every part of the body matters—no one is extra or unnecessary.IV. Discovering Your PurposeAsk four key questions to uncover how you were designed to serve:Story: What has God brought me through?Passion: What stirs or breaks my heart?Skills: What do I do well?Relationships: Who has God put in my path?When you combine these, you find your God-given calling.V. Living It OutServing isn't about what you give—it's about what God does in you.Serving grows your faith, brings belonging, and fills you with joy.The goal isn't survival—it's impact.Imagine what could happen if every person in the church lived on mission with their gifts—our city would be transformed.You were created to serve. And when you serve, you find purpose.

    China isn't just spying — many Western security officials believe it's waging a full-blown, whole-of-government campaign against the West. From hacking our systems to manipulating elections and social media, Beijing's playing the long game to undermine Britain, America, and their allies. We speak to former FBI agent Michael Feinberg who quit under very controversial circumstances — he lifts the lid on how China's outsmarting the FBI, America, and the entire Western intelligence machine. Rooted in centuries of pride and grievance, he says that China sees itself on a divine mission to topple Western dominance.

    God declared it's not good for man to be alone even before sin entered the world, which means we need community even more in our broken state. The giant sequoia trees illustrate this perfectly - they grow over 300 feet tall and live thousands of years not because of deep roots, but because their shallow roots interlock with other trees for mutual support. Similarly, we cannot grow spiritually deep while living disconnected from other believers. The early church in Acts 2 shared everything together - meals, possessions, prayers, and daily life - resulting in natural church growth. Biblical community means being known, needed, strengthened, and supported by others who can provide accountability and encouragement through life's storms.

    Taiwanese Resilience and Japan's New Conservative Leader Guest: Scott Harold Scott Harold discusses Taiwan's resilience, rooted in its democratic rule of law and high societal trust, which China attempts to undermine. Taiwanese self-identity is deepening, particularly among younger generations. However, concerns exist in Taipei that the US administration's "Fortress America" focus is inducing doubt about Washington's commitment to Taiwan's defense, a doubt China exploits. Harold also covers the historic rise of Takaichi Sanae as the LDP head in Japan, positioning her to become the first female Prime Minister. Takaichi is a conservative acolyte of former Prime Minister Abe Shinzo who emphasized increased defense spending to enhance the US-Japan alliance. Her selection was seen as an effort to bring conservative votes back to the LDP, responding to growing political frustration and capitalizing on sentiment against an influx of foreigners.  1935 TAIWAN UNDER JAPAN
