Often we hear a pastor say, go and share the gospel, and so many think this means we need to preach. Let us take a moment here and understand what it all means, what is means to be a disciple and ambassador of the Gospel Message. Can we be a living example of the Gospel Message?Bible Verse(s): Matthew 28:19-20; 1 Peter 3:13-17; 2 Corinthians 5:11-21, John 17:14-16, Matthew 10:26-33----------------------------------------------------------------Top 20 list at Feedspot: https://podcast.feedspot.com/christian_men_podcasts/E: warriorwithin.christianmanhood@gmail.com|TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pastorwarriorwithinMerch Store: https://wwcm-podcast.printify.me/productsRUMBLE: https://rumble.com/user/WarriorWithinPastor-----------------------------------------------------Affiliated with Talitha Coffee: https://talitha.com/pastordido-----------------------------------------------------Track: Jim Yosef - Samurai [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds.Watch:Free Download / Stream:http://NCS.io/Samurai

Kim Masters talks to writer & director Larry Charles about his new memoir Comedy Samurai. He shares stories about writing for Seinfeld, directing Curb Your Enthusiasm, and his chaotic experiences working with Sacha Baron Cohen on Borat and Bruno. Charles also tells the story of an early morning call from Ari Emanuel that pulled the plug on his Larry David documentary the day before its HBO premiere. Also, it's official: Paramount has settled with Donald Trump over a long-disputed 60 Minutes segment. The company agreed to pay $16 million, a move that could clear the path for David Ellison's long-anticipated Skydance merger. Kim Masters and Matt Belloni break down what this means for Paramount's future… and what an Ellison-led studio might look like.
The history of the Yakuza is one clouded in a little mystery. You have the story the Yakuza promotes, that they were the collection of peoples who banded together to defend the helpless from the terrors of the Shogun and his Samurai. Then there's the more likely version, they were a group of merchants, hustlers, thieves, and racketeers who adopted a code of honor and started to branch out into more lucrative ventures, both legal and illegal. They adopted a family structure with all power held by the Oyabun, the boss, and everyone else at varying levels depending on how long they've been in the life. The Yakuza have had their hands much deeper into business and politics than the Italian Mob and even stole their style to boot. The rituals, the tattoos, the missing fingers, we'll cover it all and then some. Support the show

The gate of the God is the entrance to the spiritual realm that resides inside of the individual, but it may also be expressed as a physical location in the form of a shrine. One of the most interesting studies in religion can be undertaken by studying something that is not a religion, and that is the indigenous practice of Shinto in Japan.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Larry Charles is the brilliant dude behind so many groundbreaking projects: Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Borat, Bruno...he's just released a compelling memoir about his brilliant successes:COMEDY SAMURAI - 40 YEARS OF BLOOD, GUTS AND LAUGHTER.
In episode 17 of (Pop) Cultural Marxism, Ajay and Isi once again find themselves in the regrettable position of praising the Walt Disney Company. After chatting about recent cultural highlights (Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, a 40th anniversary screening of Kurosawa's Ran, and a Criterion retrospective on Johnnie To), they consider the popular and critical success of Andor's second season, and ask what it means to describe a pop cultural text as “politically timely.” Their conversation turns to extratextual ecosystems (press junkets, interviews), Gilroy's deep engagement with cinematic depictions of fascism and rebellion (Army of Shadows, The Conformist), architecture and costume design, season 2 high points (the Ghorman Massacre, Mon Mothma's Senate speech), the politics of revolutionary alliances, and imperial bureaucracy. Finally, they consider how the show makes the transition—narratively, visually, musically—into the lore-dense timeline of Rogue One and A New Hope, and ponder its uncharacteristically fascistic final scene. (Pop) Cultural Marxism is produced by Ryan Lentini. Learn more about upcoming courses on our website.

Over the course of his 40-year career, Larry Charles has had two central creative relationships with Larry David (‘Seinfeld' and ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm') and Sacha Baron Cohen (‘Borat' and ‘Brüno'). Now, he reveals in a new memoir that he hasn't spoken to either man in years. In his return to The Last Laugh podcast, Charles breaks down how it all fell apart with two comedians he still considers complicated geniuses. He shares stories about how ‘Seinfeld' solved its early Elaine problem after Julia Louis-Dreyfus came to the creators sobbing and reveals why a young David Sedaris turned down an offer to write for ‘Seinfeld.' Charles also discloses what exactly it was about his HBO documentary that Larry David couldn't stand, shares his thoughts about friends Bill Maher and Cheryl Hines flirting with MAGA, explains why there was a time he would have literally “died” for Sacha Baron Cohen and what went so wrong with their final collaboration ‘The Dictator.'

This week on the podcast, I guess we've skipped a couple of seasons — because we're watching the Power Rangers SPD episode "Samurai"! What DC Comics character shares a name with this week's antagonist (negative)? Why does a magazine cover absolutely spin us out (positive)? And what does this all have to do with the Top of Top Cow? The answers to these questions (and more!) await, on this episode of the Ranger Danger SPD podcast!
I had a such a busy weekend of emotions, prayer needs, and decision making that it got me thinking about Being Lonely. How you men (and women) have shared in the past of being alone... this episode is about battling that feeling we all feel.

In this special episode of The Gaming Duo, we're diving deep into one of the most unique and emotionally charged RPGs of the year — Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. With us for this journey are two incredible guests: Samurai Kibiji YouTube, known for his deep-dive game analyses, and Nick from Friday Night GameCast Podcast, bringing his signature insight and energy to the show.We go full spoilers on this one — discussing everything from the haunting premise (people being erased when the Paintress paints their age on a monolith) to the layered story arcs, twist-filled character moments, and that mind-bending ending.Expect breakdowns of:
Let's Chat!What if the fog that haunts you isn't your enemy, but your judge, waiting for you to remember who you truly are?The journey ends where it truly begins in this finale of The Forgotten Samurai. After collecting all seven pieces of the mysterious armor, our protagonist stands at the threshold of revelation. The journal pulses with life, the armor glows with memory, and the fog that has followed him throughout finally takes form—not as his tormentor, but as his guide.Through a corridor of doors marked with the sigils of those who failed before him, past mirrors that reflect not his image but his essence, he discovers the profound truth: Katsu was never just his neighbor. "She was never beside me, she was within me." The armor doesn't protect—it remembers. And someone must carry its soul.When the protagonist speaks the name he had buried, the transformation completes. The apartment collapses like smoke losing memory, revealing a path to a temple with twelve broken thrones and one that waits empty. Alistair, now revealed as "the Watcher who became the King," takes his place in this cosmic order, while our protagonist walks toward his destiny as "the chosen, the beginning of what comes next."This wasn't a story about escape but about return. Not about forgetting, but becoming. The fog wasn't the enemy—it was the test. And you, dear listener, aren't just consuming a story. You're wearing it. Let it echo in your choices, your solitude, your strength. Ask yourself: What version of you have you buried in fog, waiting to be remembered? What piece of your life feels like armor you've outgrown?Remember—your story is just beginning."True mastery is found in the details. The way you handle the little things defines the way you handle everything."
This week: we take a look at postwar samurai film/jidaigeki in order to understand better the trajectory of the most influential genre in the history of Japanese film. Why did jidaigeki, a staple of pre-1945 film, storm back with a vengeance to the big screen after the end of World War II? What makes post-1945 samurai films distinctive or unique? And what about their relationship to another archetype of international film: the American Western? Show notes here.
Hello! I'm Gregg Swanson. Whether I'm coaching sales professionals, practicing shamanic rituals, or mastering Bujinkan techniques, my focus is on developing mental strength and resilience. Today, I'll share strategies to help you overcome your challenges and achieve your goals by developing unbreakable focus. Table of Contents Toggle The Age of DistractionWhat Is Unbreakable Focus…and Why You Need It NowZanshin – The Samurai's Code of PresenceNeuroscience of Focus – What the Research SaysTrain Like a Warrior – Practices to Build Unbreakable FocusWhen Focus Fails…The Hidden Cost of Mental WeaknessConclusion: Sharpen the Blade of Your Mind The Age of Distraction What if the most lethal weapon in a warrior's arsenal wasn't a blade, but their ability to focus? In today's hyper-distracted world, Unbreakable Focus has become the currency of high performance. For men in high-stakes environments...executives, athletes, entrepreneurs...distraction is a silent assassin. It steals time, clarity, and confidence. But there is a way to reclaim your mental edge. And it doesn't involve productivity hacks or more caffeine. It comes from ancient Samurai wisdom. When I trained in Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu...a martial system rooted in the traditions of the ninja and samurai...I discovered a hidden power: Zanshin. The "remaining mind." It's not just a technique. It's a state. And when fused with modern neuroscience, it becomes a framework for building Unbreakable Focus. Let's dive in. What Is Unbreakable Focus...and Why You Need It Now Unbreakable Focus is not just concentration. It's sustained mental presence, even under pressure. It means holding attention like a sword...steady, sharp, and unwavering. Most people don't lose their potential due to lack of skill. They lose it to fragmentation. One email, one scroll, one notification at a time. Neuroscientific studies show that the average attention span has dropped significantly in the digital age. According to a Microsoft study, the human attention span has shrunk to 8 seconds...shorter than a goldfish. That's not a joke. It's a crisis for anyone who wants to lead. Unbreakable Focus reverses that trend. It anchors you. It turns scattered thoughts into targeted action. Key traits of Unbreakable Focus: ->Laser-like attention to the task at hand allows you to eliminate distractions and stay committed to your current mission. -> Emotional regulation under stress ensures that your decisions are made from clarity rather than reaction. -> Rapid refocusing after distractions trains your brain to bounce back with precision and power. -> Consistent presence across mental, physical, and emotional states anchors you in purpose, no matter the external chaos. When cultivated, Unbreakable Focus becomes a force multiplier in business, fitness, relationships, and personal power. Zanshin – The Samurai's Code of Presence In Bujinkan, we practiced more than physical techniques. We trained awareness. Zanshin isn't about action...it's about attention. Zanshin ("the remaining mind") is the Samurai principle of staying mentally engaged before, during, and after an action. It's the sniper's stillness after a shot. The fighter's eyes still scanning after the opponent is down. In modern terms, Zanshin trains Unbreakable Focus by: -> Creating situational awareness in high-stakes environments sharpens your ability to assess threats and opportunities in real time. -> Training the nervous system to stay calm under pressure builds a foundation of internal control when external chaos strikes. -> Helping you respond...not react...to challenges ensures your actions are rooted in clarity and strategy, not impulsive emotion. Think of Zanshin as the operating system behind elite performers. It's what keeps a Navy SEAL calm in combat or a CEO locked in during a crisis. You don't rise to the occasion...you fall back on your training. And Zanshin is that training.
Penguin Lovers may wish to stay away from this episode as Jacob and Drew are not kind to the film Happy Feet in this episode! (as if the album art didn't already tell you that! LOL!) Plus they check out the episodes Moon of the Wolf and Day of the Samurai!

The Not Ready for Prime Time Podcast: The Early Years of SNL
Another season of The Early Years of SNL comes to a close, which can only mean one thing… Buck is Back! Buck Henry returns for his 8th time hosting and this time he gets a proper season finale musical guest with the one and only Bette Midler.Saturday Night Live brings its highest-rated season yet to a close and while things are mostly upbeat, there is still a sense that this is somewhat of a goodbye. In what will end up being the final episode for Dan Aykroyd (unknowingly) and John Belushi (pretty evident) as cast members we see the final appearance of The Samurai, The Olympia Café closes its doors, and Richard Nixon makes one last appearance in the original era. On a brighter note, we get one of the most well-known cold opens of the era courtesy of Mr. Bill and an appearance by master impressionist Michael O'Donoghue!We're once again joined by Jon Schneider of The Saturday Night Network to reminisce about the joys of Buck hosting, argue about Garrett giving his best performance of all time, lament the final episode of two of the show's original stars, and teach Brad a thing or two about... well, nothing to do with SNL whatsoever. It's a hell of a way to go out!---------------------------------Subscribe today!Follow us on social media: X (Twitter): NR4PTProjectBluesky: nr4ptproject.bsky.socialInstagram: nr4ptprojectFacebook: The Not Ready for Prime Time ProjectContact Us: Website: https://www.nr4project.comEmail: nr4ptproject@gmail.com

We are all familiar with the Japanese Samurai: Sword wielding traditional warriors all consumed with a rigid honor code known as Bushido. But how much of this is true? In this episode I speak with an expert Dr. Michael Wert Associate Professor of East Asian History at Marquette University. Through his work which includes the book Samurai: A Concise History, he has cast aside the Hollywood stereotypes and uncovered a real history that is much more complex. He explains the origins of the Samurai, their evolving role and shatters many of the myths most of us have come to believe. Guest: Dr. Michael Wert Sound & Music: Pixabay

Welcome to Your Movie Rocks, an Alternate Ending podcast hosted by Mandy Albert. For every episode, Mandy will watch a movie assigned by her guest host, followed by a lively discussion. There's only one rule: no matter what the movie does to her, Mandy is only allowed to love it. In Episode 5, Mandy is joined by AE regular Andrew Milne for a lively discussion of a movie that does not even occupy the same fold of spacetime as her wheelhouse: Shimomura Yuji's Crazy Samurai Musashi (2020), a psychology experiment in the form of a movie. But was it an enjoyable psychology experiment? Tune in to hear Mandy and Andrew develop a Grand Theory of Crazy Samurai Musashi in real time, learn about one of the strangest movie gimmicks of the decade so far, and find out why Andrew was so eager to revisit a movie that made him angry the first time around. You can snag a copy of Andrew's novel White Scar Across the Firmament here!
