One of the sin battles we face is that when the "fix" does not come in the way we wanted, we give into the flesh. We say we just keep falling, but sin battles do not start with the sin, it starts with the temptations. Let's do a deep dive into this battle!Bible Verse(s): Galatians 5:16-25; 2 Chronicles 7:14-16; James 5:15-20; 1 Corinthians 10:12-13Topic Words: Sin, temptations, Love God First, do not give in, do not give up, flesh versus spirit-------------------------------Top 100 list at Feedspot: https://podcast.feedspot.com/christian_men_podcasts/E: warriorwithin.christianmanhood@gmail.comDiscord: https://discord.gg/4xsBcaJFFvStore: https://wwcm-podcast.printify.me/productsPayPal DONATIONS: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=KC3DTP8HM7DAEYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WarriorWithinMinistriesStudios-----------------------------------------------------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

Get 30 Days of Merlin free at MerlinCrypto.Com I am diving centuries into the past to steal the ultimate self-mastery blueprints from two of history's most ruthless battlegrounds: Roman Stoicism under Emperor Marcus Aurelius and the Samurai code of the legendary, undefeated duelist Miyamoto Musashi. If you apply these philosophies blindly, you will absolutely destroy your team's culture. I break down: The "Dichotomy of Control" and why focusing on outcomes is a fast track to burnout. Musashi's brutal rule of "Accepting everything just the way it is" to dominate market chaos. The dangerous traps of emotional suppression and perfectionism that turn modern leaders into cold, isolated micromanagers.

Kiyoshi Kurosawa's The Samurai and the Prisoner is an equally epic and intimate story of war, nobility, and murder in 16th-century Japan. Mike and Kevin explore its many layers, its narrative construction, and how Kurosawa taps into Sydney Lumet's rich tradition of "moral claustrophobia" to create something truly compelling.

This week we're excited to present a recent conversation with The Samurai and the Prisoner director Kiyoshi Kurosawa, moderated by film critic Siddhant Adlakha. The Samurai and the Prisoner is currently playing daily at Film at Lincoln Center, courtesy of Janus Films. Get tickets at filmlinc.org/samurai In 16th-century Japan, Lord Murashige (Masahiro Motoki) turns against Oda, the warlord he once served, and is besieged inside his own castle, where inexplicable crimes begin to look to Murashige and his frightened advisors like signs of divine judgment. As Oda's invading army tightens its grip outside and suspicion infiltrates the stronghold, Murashige is forced to consult Kanbei (Masaki Suda of Cloud), the cunning strategist he has locked in the dungeon, while his wife Chiyoho (Yuriko Yoshitaka) and his generals try to keep the court from devouring itself. Kiyoshi Kurosawa's stately jidaigeki—adapted from Honobu Yonezawa's best-selling, Naoki Prize–winning novel and selected at this year's Cannes Film Festival—is a tense and metaphysical whodunit with the director's characteristic philosophical overtones, bringing the winding investigations of Cure and Serpent's Path into a meticulously composed period piece about the manipulation of terror.
Deep Cut director Kiyoshi Kurosawa is back with a sharp left turn in The Samurai and the Prisoner: Silence of the Lambs by way of Seven Samurai!

After a week off the Friday reviews are back in what looks to be a jam-packed August. Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy do a little catch-up to get Steve's thoughts on the new Spider-Man and Erik's on the dumped M3GAN universe film (Soulm8te). They have a pair of documentaries to talk about including the latest from the great Penny Lane about an owl that escaped from the Central Park Zoo (Wild Inside) and the Girl Scouts annual sale through the eyes of the labor force (Cookie Queens). There is a comedy about a Jewish summer camp (The Floaters). Mysteries are abound when a lord takes a stand against a warlord in 16th century Japan (The Samurai and the Prisoner) and a strange storm keeps a family from leaving their house (The Last House). Eli Roth is back with some sinister child mayhem (Ice Cream Man) as are the Broken Lizard gang with the characters that put them on the map (Super Troopers 3). Finally, can you make a rom-com set on the evening when pre-marital sex is legal (One Night Only)?

Qui étaient réellement les samouraïs et quelles traditions perdurent aujourd'hui ? Pour explorer ces questions, j'ai le plaisir d'accueillir le Dr Kacem Zoughari, historien et praticien, élève direct de Hatsumi Masaaki et Ishizuka Tetsuji.

"The Samurai And The Prisoner" is a 2026 Japanese historical drama mystery film written and directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa and based on the novel of the same name by Honobu Yonezawa. It stars Masahiro Motoki, Masaki Suda, Yuriko Yoshitaka, Munetaka Aoki, and Ryota Miyadate. Set in 16th-century Japan, the film follows Lord Murashige Araki (Motoki), who, besieged in his castle, confronts mysterious crimes and allies with imprisoned strategist Kanbei Kuroda (Suda) to uncover the truth. The film had its world premiere in the Cannes Premiere section of the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its overall design reminiscent of classic samurai films, detective narrative, and performances. Kurosawa was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about his work and experience making the film, which you can watch or listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in NY and LA select theaters and will expand nationwide later from Janus Films.

This is more of a lesson and some insight. I wanted to talk about the 5 Crowns spoken about in the NT. It wil give you some thought in how you should be living as a Christian. Sometimes we place people in ministry leadership at a high standard but then keep us at a level that is not. I would agree we do need to keep our Christian leaders on a standard, however, you are too.Bible Verse(s): 1 Corinthians 9:24-25; 1 Peter 1: 3-5; 1 Thessalonians 2:19; Philippians 4:1; Philippians 3:20-21; 2 Timothy 4:8; 1 Peter 5:2-4; Revelations 2:10; James 1:12-14;Revelations 4:10-11-------------------------------Top 100 list at Feedspot: https://podcast.feedspot.com/christian_men_podcasts/E: warriorwithin.christianmanhood@gmail.comDiscord: https://discord.gg/4xsBcaJFFvStore: https://wwcm-podcast.printify.me/productsPayPal DONATIONS: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=KC3DTP8HM7DAEYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WarriorWithinMinistriesStudios-----------------------------------------------------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
Born in Russia in 1836, he became one of the great Orthodox missionaries of modern times. As a boy, he resolved to become a missionary in the far East. With the counsel and blessing of Bishop Innocent of Siberia and Alaska, he went to Japan in 1861 and joined a small Russian mission there. Though the mission's official purpose was to minister to the Russian consular community, the consul-general who invited Hieromonk Nikolai hoped to bring the light of the Orthodox Faith to the Japanese people as well. Realizing that he could only hope to convert the Japanese people if they understood one another well, Fr Nikolai immersed himself in the study of Japanese thought, culture and language. Over the course of his life he translated most of the Bible and most of the Orthodox services into Japanese, and became a fluent speaker of the language. He encountered much resistance: Preaching of Christian doctrine was officially banned in Japan, and a Samurai once approached him with the words "Foreigners must die!" It was this same Samurai who later became his first Japanese priest. In 1880 he was elevated to Bishop of Japan. During the Russo-Japanese war he remained in Japan and labored successfully to overcome nationalist strife that might have harmed or destroyed the Church in Japan. He encouraged all his Japanese faithful to pray for the Japanese armed forces, though he explained that as a Russian he could not do so, and excluded himself from all public services for the duration of the war. He sent Russian-speaking Japanese priests to the prison camps to minister to Russian prisoners of war. At the time of his repose in 1912, after forty-eight years in Japan, St Nikolai left a Cathedral, eight churches, more than 400 chapels and meeting houses, 34 priests, 8 deacons, 115 lay catechists, and 34,110 Orthodox faithful. The Church of Japan is now an autonomous Orthodox Church under the mantle of the Moscow Patriarchate.
The boys are back to do commentary on Day of the Samurai, talk about Supergirl and catch up on all things in the Batman universe.

American health is on the steep decline. MAHA was supposed to fix the problem, but instead has spent time promoting big-meat and big-dairy rather than informing the public about how the obsession and overconsumption of these products is poisoning us at a rate closely aligned with processed junk. Frying potatoes in beef tallow doesn't solve the problem that the food itself, and the additives, are making us addicted and sick. RFK Jr even posted on the official Real Food website that his stance was not an attack on the industry. Well, it should be. Considering that some of the greatest warriors in human history, from Gladiators and Roman Legionary, to Samurai, ate very little meat and dairy, and considering that diets with little or none of these ingredients are the only lifestyle changes in studies that have ever reversed diseases of the heart and diabetes, perhaps we are being lied too yet again. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

And so when her mother's literary agent calls Rimi out of the blue, and asks her if she wants to write the book Akemi was writing when she died, Rimi seizes the opportunity. Akemi was researching her samurai ancestry, learning more about their philosophical code, and how it can teach us to live a fuller life today. Can completing her mother's spiritual quest help Rimi finally come closer to someone she felt she never fully knew?

A Note from James:This is a very special episode for me.There have only been a few times in the history of this podcast when I've had the chance to sit down with one of my heroes. This is one of those times.Frank Miller is one of the most important storytellers of my life. When I first picked up Batman: The Dark Knight Returns in 1986, it completely changed what I thought comics could be. This wasn't just another Batman story. It was a revolution. Frank took Batman out of the colorful, campy world I grew up with and turned him into something darker, mythic, terrifying, and psychologically real.There is a comic book industry before The Dark Knight Returns, and there is a comic book industry after The Dark Knight Returns. Every Batman movie since then carries Frank's fingerprints in some way. But it wasn't just Batman. Frank changed Daredevil. He created Ronin. He created Sin City. He showed that comics could handle adult stories, painful arcs, crime, tragedy, mythology, obsession, and moral ambiguity.But what matters most to me is that Frank is a master storyteller. And I love storytelling. Whether it's books, podcasts, articles, comics, or just how we make sense of our lives, story is everything.So getting to sit down with Frank Miller and talk about Batman, myth, creativity, mentorship, discipline, and his new book, Push the Wall: My Life, Writing, Drawing, and the Art of Storytelling, was a dream come true.This was my first in-person podcast in years. Jay drove up from Atlanta. I flew into the city. And yes, I brought my copy of The Dark Knight Returns for Frank to sign.Episode Description:Frank Miller didn't just write and draw some of the most influential comics of the modern era. He changed the grammar of comics.In this conversation, James sits down with Miller to talk about Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Daredevil, Ronin, Sin City, and Miller's new book, Push the Wall. The conversation begins with Batman, but quickly becomes a larger discussion about how characters become myths.For Miller, Batman was never just a rich detective in a costume. The material was already there from the beginning: a child witnessing the murder of his parents, growing up without powers, building himself into a force through discipline, intelligence, and obsession. Miller's goal was to pull that core truth out and make Batman stand beside older pulp and mythic figures like Zorro, The Shadow, and the hard-edged heroes of crime cinema.James and Frank also talk about how myths are built around simple central values. Superman is hope. Batman is justice, vengeance, effort, and fear. The art is not in making those ideas complicated. The art is in placing them inside a human context so they feel emotionally true.The discussion moves into the craft of comics itself: page layouts, panel borders, visual rhythm, and how the pictures carry most of the story. Miller reflects on the influence of Jack Kirby, Neal Adams, Denny O'Neil, Japanese samurai films, martial arts movies, Greek tragedy, Jean Giraud/Moebius, Lone Wolf and Cub, and the creative power of combining worlds that do not obviously belong together.They also talk about mentorship. Miller describes calling Neal Adams from the phone book, bringing him drawings, and enduring brutally honest criticism. That toughness, he says, was part of the training. To survive as an artist, you need egoism without egotism: enough belief to keep coming back, but enough humility to keep learning.The episode closes with practical advice for young artists today: go to conventions, build the strongest portfolio you can, seek out hard criticism, don't chase only the biggest titles, protect your original ideas, and look for “losers” you can make great.What You'll Learn:Why Frank Miller wanted Batman to become a myth, not just another superhero.How The Dark Knight Returns helped move comics toward darker, more adult storytelling.Why Batman's lack of superpowers is exactly what makes him compelling.How mythic characters are built around simple core themes like hope, vengeance, justice, or discipline.Why comics are not just written stories with pictures, but a visual storytelling machine.How Miller learned from Jack Kirby, Neal Adams, Denny O'Neil, samurai films, noir, Greek tragedy, and European comics.Why creativity often comes from combining unrelated influences.What Miller means by “egoism, but not egotism.”Why young artists should seek out hard lessons instead of easy praise.How to enter comics today without giving away original work too early.Why determination, stamina, and a lack of Plan B shaped Miller's career.What Miller is working on next, including a new Western-style Sin City story.Timestamped Chapters:[03:41] Meeting Frank MillerJames begins by holding up Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and asking what it means to be known through one defining work.[04:00] Before and After The Dark Knight ReturnsWhy James sees Miller's Batman as a dividing line in comic book history.[05:07] Turning Batman Into a Psychological ConditionJames asks how Miller transformed Batman from a campy hero into something darker, mythic, and terrifying.[05:49] Batman as MythFrank explains that his first impulse was to make Batman stand with figures like The Shadow, Zorro, and the hard-edged heroes of crime cinema.[06:37] Pulling Comics Out of ChildhoodMiller describes his desire to push comics into adolescence and beyond the conventions of disposable monthly stories.[06:59] The Origin Was Always ThereWhy Batman's trauma, lack of powers, and self-made discipline were already embedded in the character from the beginning.[07:50] Superman Descends, Batman RisesFrank contrasts Superman as a figure of light with Batman as something that comes up from the darkness.[08:44] What Makes a Character Mythic?Miller explains that great characters usually have a simple central theme: hope, justice, vengeance, effort, or fear.[10:30] King Arthur, Luke Skywalker, and the Power of ObjectsThe conversation turns to swords, lightsabers, utility belts, and how mythic symbols carry stories across generations.[11:54] Breaking the PageJames and Frank discuss how Kirby, Neal Adams, and others shattered conventional panel layouts before Miller pushed those techniques further.[12:35] A Tradition of RevolutionFrank explains why creativity means breaking a few eggs while still working inside a lineage.[13:00] When the Page Tells the StoryHow panel size, shape, and visual composition can carry emotional meaning without words.[14:10] What Would Frank Do With Batman Now?Miller says the point is not to reinvent Batman for novelty's sake, but to find a good story.[15:00] Moving Daredevil Into Hell's KitchenJames asks how Miller brought his own New York experience into Daredevil's world.[15:45] Fear, Editors, and Media ConglomeratesFrank reflects on how creative fear moves through artists, editors, bosses, and corporate structures.[16:17] Are New Comic Stories Still Possible?Miller argues that the talent and creative energy are still there, even if it does not always come from predictable places.[17:40] How Comics Survived Their Own DeathsFrank traces comic books from the attacks of the 1950s to Marvel, underground comics, and the direct market.[19:30] What Young Artists Need TodayWhen James asks what skill matters beyond drawing and storytelling, Miller answers: determination.[20:01] No Plan BFrank explains that he never had a concept of failure because comics were what he had wanted to do since his earliest memories.[20:47] Writing vs. StorytellingWhy, in comics, most of the storytelling happens in the pictures.[21:00] Neal Adams and the Hard LessonsMiller remembers calling Neal Adams from the phone book and receiving tough critiques that tested his character.[22:34] Egoism, Not EgotismFrank explains the balance an artist needs: enough ego to return after criticism, but not so much that they stop learning.[22:51] Stealing From the GreatsWhy artists must study and learn from earlier practitioners rather than pretending genius arrives fully formed.[23:47] Batman Is Possessed, Not ObsessedFrank corrects James's description of Batman and explains that Batman is filled with an eternal force.[24:50] Daredevil, Samurai, Crime, and Greek TragedyHow Miller fused martial arts films, ninja stories, crime movies, and
