February 26 | The Veil of Separation (Exodus 26:30-37) by Christ Covenant

Today on Joe Oltmann Untamed, Patrick is taking the reins to lay out the hard truth: a Palestinian Islamic scholar in Chicago just spelled it out open borders and asylum programs have been weaponized, letting in millions not just to work, but to exploit the system, commit fraud, and spread ideologies that clash with American values. We're seeing the fallout right here: schools quietly setting up Muslim prayer rooms during Ramadan, Texas districts handing out Sharia pamphlets, hijabs, and Qurans for “World Hijab Day,” and kids chanting anti-American slogans while staff look the other way. Separation of church and state? Apparently it only applies when it's Christianity.The chaos isn't stopping at the borders. We've got students beaten for holding Trump flags during anti-ICE walkouts, trans activists openly calling for violence until they get their way, and schools losing thousands of kids because parents are pulling them from indoctrination camps. This isn't random; it's deliberate infiltration and cultural replacement, and too many leaders are either complicit or willfully blind.This episode is a wake-up call for every parent, taxpayer, and patriot who's had enough of the double standards and the slow erosion of our way of life. From Muslim prayer groups in public schools to violent attacks on conservative kids, we're connecting the dots on how open borders, radical ideologies, and institutional cowardice are reshaping America and what happens if we don't fight back. Tune in for the unfiltered truth and the hard questions no one else wants to ask.

In this episode, Douglas Wilson reflects on the Super Bowl halftime show and its cultural meaning, then continues his study of sin by explaining what Scripture means by having a doubtful mind and why worry is ultimately rooted in unbelief. He closes by discussing Philip Hamburger’s Separation of Church and State, clarifying the history of the phrase and what the First Amendment actually requires.

I loved this episode. In this conversation, I'm joined by Samantha Thomas, founder of MyndGym, to talk about mental fitness and why it matters so much during divorce and separation. When you're navigating a major life change, your nervous system narrows. Your window of tolerance shrinks. Everything feels heavier. More urgent. Harder than it "should". Sam explains the difference between mental health and mental fitness and why small, repeatable daily practices build real capacity when you're overwhelmed. We cover: Why rest is productive What's happening in your nervous system during separation How to regulate before making big decisions Why journaling helps (and why you can throw the paper away) Simple tools beyond meditation Anchoring into your values when identity feels shaky The "Ta-Da List" for when you feel behind A powerful 3-minute reset Why gratitude might be the smallest habit that changes everything If you're functioning but exhausted this episode is for you.

In this episode, Piers Cross explores the psychological impact of a child's first night at boarding school and why it often becomes a lifelong emotional imprint.Drawing on accounts from Richard Branson, Sebastian Faulks, and Peter Sykes, we examine what happens when children are separated from their families at a young age. Many remember intense fear, others remember nothing at all — a sign of dissociation.Psychotherapist Joy Schaverien describes this moment as a “threshold experience.” It is not simple homesickness. It is a sudden loss of attachment figures, familiarity, identity, and safety.This episode discusses: • separation and attachment • dissociation in childhood • why some memories are vivid and others blank • adult relationship difficulties • emotional disconnection in high achieversMany adults who attended boarding school later become capable, resilient, and successful — yet struggle with intimacy, vulnerability, and feeling truly at home.Understanding the beginning helps explain the adult patterns.Website: https://compassionateleadersglobal.com Podcast: An Evolving Man--- Piers is an author and a men's transformational coach and therapist who works mainly with trauma, boarding school issues, addictions and relationship problems.

In this episode, I share my thoughts on the Netflix show Love Is Blind and what it reveals about self-worth in dating. Watching the women on the show, I couldn't help but notice how easy it is to lose sight of your own needs when the goal becomes getting chosen. Instead of asking whether someone truly fits you, it's tempting to reshape yourself to fit what you think someone else wants. This conversation explores the subtle ways self-worth can get tangled up in being picked, and why love should never require you to shrink or perform to feel valuable. - - - - - - - - - - - - Want that chapter checklist just Click Here!

One day your child is themselves. They're laughing, playing, arguing with their siblings, asking for snacks, being who they have always been. And then something shifts. It can feel like it happens overnight. Suddenly there is fear where there wasn't fear before. Anxiety that doesn't make sense. Obsessive thoughts. Out of nowhere rituals and OCD like behaviors. Maybe tics. Rage that feels completely out of character. Sleep goes to heck. Separation becomes unbearable. And you're left standing there wondering what just happened to my child.If you are listening to this and your chest feels tight because this is your story, I need you to hear me. You are not imagining this. Your child did not just decide to become someone else. And you are not dramatic for knowing something deeper is going on. I don't care how many specialists you have gone to, how many times you have been told it's just anxiety, just OCD, just behavior, or just a phase. When a child shifts like this, it is our responsibility as mothers to look for answers and I am so proud of you for being here. Maybe you have heard of PANS and PANDAS. Maybe you have been deep in research for months. Or maybe this is the first time you are hearing those words. PANS stands for Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome, and PANDAS stands for Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal infections. They are immune responses associated with strep bacteria, but not only the kind found in strep throat.Healing from PANS and PANDAS is not about flipping a switch. It is about restoring balance at the foundation so the body is no longer stuck in chronic immune activation.If you are navigating this right now, I see you. You are rightfully scared. The grief is unbelievably deep. Add in the exhaustion and it can feel like you will never get your child back. But your child is not broken. Their body is responding to something very real. It is communicating with you through symptoms as a way of asking for help. And when you listen to the body and support it at the root, healing becomes possible. They can and they will heal.Despite what anyone has ever told you, you are not crazy for knowing there is more to this story. And you are not powerless. I cannot wait for you to see what happens when you stop chasing flares and start restoring balance at the foundation. The steadiness you are longing for is not out of reach. It starts right here. I will have the PANS/PANDAS healing bundle linked for you in the show notes. Sending you so much love as you navigate this.Thanks for listening!

One of the main stumbling blocks for many people in this conscious creation community is the myth of separation. They believe that there is this human character, and then there is the 3D, the 4D, and everything else... that's outside of them.But it's that belief of separation that slows things down for you, in the first place. So, why don't we break that myth once and for all?

This conversation delves into the complexities of family law, specifically focusing on the dissolution of marriage. It covers essential topics such as jurisdiction, grounds for divorce, annulment, legal separation, and the financial implications of divorce, including property division and child custody. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the legal framework surrounding divorce and the nuances that can impact outcomes in family law cases.Most people think ending a marriage is just about signing papers—easy, straightforward. But beneath the surface, family law is an intricate legal minefield where jurisdiction, constitutional rules, and detailed procedural doctrines collide. If you're a law student or legal professional aiming to master the core mechanics of divorce and annulment, this episode is your Blueprint. We reveal the hidden legal architecture behind ending a marriage—one that the courts and the Constitution fiercely guard—and teach you how to analyze any complex fact pattern with confidence.Dive into the surprising distinction between status jurisdiction and personal jurisdiction—the two critical legal gates that determine whether a court has power over your marriage and your money. Learn how domicile, not residency, is the key to establishing jurisdiction, and discover how states use durational residency requirements to prevent “forum shopping.” We unpack landmark cases like Williams v. North Carolina, exposing how courts scrutinize domicile facts to avoid “limping marriages”—where someone remains legally divorced but still legally married elsewhere, risking felony bigamy charges. Master the “divisible divorce” doctrine, which explains how a court can end the marriage but lack authority over property or support, leading to two separate legal battles.Then, we trace the evolution from fault-based grounds—like adultery, cruelty, and desertion—to the modern “no-fault” regimes, which emphasize irretrievable breakdown and separation periods. Understand how fault still influences asset dissipation and alimony, even in no-fault states. The episode breaks down crucial concepts like annulment: the difference between void marriages (bigamy, incest) that are null from the outset, and voidable marriages (fraud, duress) that can be challenged but may be ratified by conduct. Learn why the “ratification trap” is a common exam pitfall, and how to spot when a marriage is truly void or just voidable.Family law's messy but essential goal is balancing individual freedom with fair property and support division. We explore the classification of assets—separating inherited or pre-marriage property from marital assets—plus active versus passive appreciation, guiding how to allocate assets fairly. Understand how courts set support via formulas and consider fault for equitable results, especially in long marriages or cases of misconduct. As for children, the “best interests of the child” standard now dominates custody decisions, with court factors prioritizing stability and primary care, not parental rights. Child support guidelines leave little discretion, ensuring consistency across states, though visitation and support remain legally independent.Finally, we connect the dots: how federal constitutional principles, like the Full Faith and Credit Clause and due process, safeguard or restrict recognition of out-of-state divorces. We weigh the law's ongoing struggle—ordering rationality onto human chaos—acknowledging that legal recognition often stops at the human entanglement, debts, and emotional ties that courts can't easily sever.Ideal for students preparing for exams, lawyers advising clients, or anyone interested in the unseen complexities behind the seemingly simple act of ending a marriage, this episode lays out a bulletproof analytical roadmap. divorce, annulment, family law, jurisdiction, grounds for divorce, legal separation, child custody, alimony, property division, best interests of the child

With Premier Danielle Smith's dangerous anti-immigrant MAGA agenda revealed in Alberta, the situation is becoming increasingly precarious. As the threat of US- and Russia-backed separatism looms larger in the province, whispers on Parliament Hill suggest that more Conservative MPs are considering leaving Pierre Poilievre for PM Mark Carney, whose unifying presence and steady leadership could guide us through these challenging times.The ongoing invasion by Putin in Ukraine is entering its fourth year, and it's crucial for NATO, along with Canada, to escalate its support for the Ukrainian people. They need our help more than ever to confront the aggression that jeopardizes not just their sovereignty, but the stability of all of Europe and the very foundations of Canadian democracy.Former Conservative Cabinet Member and Ambassador Chris Alexander compellingly argues for a stronger Canadian role in bolstering NATO's efforts in Ukraine. He connects the dots between the conflict abroad and the pressing issues we face domestically in Canada. In an intense dialogue with host Laura Babcock, they tackle critical topics such as foreign interference in our media and the insidious influences of the Epstein Class, elucidating how all these elements intertwine in the global struggle for democracy over autocracy.Now is the time for us to act! We must raise our voices, share this urgent message, and embrace the idea that protecting our sovereignty and standing with those who fight for their freedom are paramount. Together, we can make a difference!

Srimad Bhagavatam [Bhagwat Katha] – Part 43 | Swami Mukundananda  Swamiji explains one of the most profound mysteries of the Bhagavatam — why Shree Krishna left Vrindavan and did not return for a hundred years, leaving Radha and the gopis in deep separation. This leela is not ordinary absence; it is the highest revelation of divine love.  Radha and the gopis lived every moment in remembrance of Krishna. Though physically separated, their devotion only intensified. Swamiji highlights that this viraha bhakti (devotion in separation) is considered even greater than union, because longing purifies love and makes it utterly selfless. The gopis did not desire worldly comforts, liberation, or recognition — their only cry was for Krishna Himself.  Krishna's departure was part of His divine mission: to protect dharma, guide humanity, and fulfill cosmic duties. Yet, in doing so, He revealed that God sometimes withdraws His presence to elevate the devotee's love to its purest form. Radha's love, in particular, shows that true devotion transcends time, space, and even separation.  This leela teaches that the highest bhakti is not measured by physical proximity to God, but by the intensity of love in the heart. Radha and the gopis attained the supreme state of devotion, proving that separation can become the most powerful force in spiritual growth.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from IIT and IIM. Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades. 

The War for the American Dynamo has begun.

Episode 377 of RevolutionZ starts with a brief segment that describes some major robot and AI innovations as warm up for more related commentary to come in the future. When AI can imitate any face and voice, what anchors truth? Who decides what justice looks like when evidence itself is in doubt? When robots can dance and do gymnastics while they juggle feathers make and implement plans, nurture children and help the infirm, what can't they do? What do we do?Then the episode pivots to courts, cops, and cages. Miguel Guevara interviews Robin Zimmerman, a former criminal defense attorney, who lays bare how the adversarial model is fueled by warped incentives to reward convictions and legal theatrics over truth. He traces his break from “organized cruelty” to building justice along with RPS. He describe activism to reorient pay and prestige from wins to effort, and explains how reimagine trials to surface facts, context, and repair. He explores how lie detection tech and deepfakes collide with due process, and why no single blueprint will fix jurisprudence. Instead, he and RPS argue we need context-driven methods, transparent checks and balances, and an ethos that centers dignity.Next, Peter Cabral provides a ground level view: the gang as survival, prison as a factory of harm, and the strategy that changed everything—nonviolent work stoppages that spread by discipline, solidarity, and visible dignity. He explains how prison strikes reframed demands from modestly better conditions to real participation, living wages, rich education, and preparation for life beyond the walls. He tracks how reforms gained ground via civilian control of policing, demilitarization, restorative justice, and a still bolder proposition to replace prisoner exile with structured, humane communities focused on accountability and growth. Separation for safety remains; degradation does not. Who sets incentives? Who verifies claims? Who pays the price when systems fail? Our judicial activists don't pretend to have every answer. They do insist on a north star: fewer victims, fewer cages, and institutions that measure success by truth, repair, and human dignity. Support the show

Welcome to episode #1024 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). At a time when the digital infrastructure that underpins modern life feels increasingly hostile, few voices have been as prescient... or as relentless... as Cory Doctorow. A science fiction novelist, journalist and technology activist, Cory serves as Special Advisor to the Electronic Frontier Foundation and has long stood at the intersection of storytelling, policy and power. Over the course of a prolific career (one that includes bestselling fiction, influential tech policy books like Chokepoint Capitalism and The Internet Con, and his widely read Pluralistic blog) Cory has chronicled how digital markets consolidate, calcify and ultimately betray their users. His latest nonfiction work, Enshittification - Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse And What To Do About It, gives a name to the slow degradation of online platforms: the predictable cycle in which services begin by delighting users, then exploit them, then squeeze the businesses that depend on them, until only monopoly power remains. Cory situates this decline not as technological inevitability but as the result of specific policy choices that empowered monopolies and weakened enforcement. At the same time, Cory challenges the fatalism that often surrounds technological decline. Anti-circumvention laws, regulatory capture and collective action problems may constrain consumers, but they are not immovable forces. Cultural norms can shift. Policy can be rewritten. Markets can be redesigned. Grounded in economic literacy and moral urgency, Cory's work calls for ethical leadership, regulatory courage and a reclamation of agency in the systems that shape our digital lives.

Pastor Skip explains the real meaning of “separation of church and state,” and shows you that people of faith have always had a meaningful role in public life.

DOCKET ALERTS:Florida's Attorney General James Uthmeier is getting paid $50,000 a semester to teach a single class at University of Florida's law school. The Trump Administration finally obeyed the court order and put the exhibit on enslaved people back at President's House in Philadelphia.The Supreme Court has decided to eliminate corruption by asking litigants to add their stock ticker symbols to filing disclosures. Oh, you thought maybe the justices would agree to stop trading individual stocks? LOL.And a JAG lawyer sent to help out the US Attorneys Office in Minnesota got cited for contempt after ICE responded to a habeas order by dumping a Minnesota man on the street in El Paso without his identity documents. Judge Laura Provinzino ordered the lawyer to pay $500 per day until the petitioner got his ID back.MAIN SHOW:In California, Judge Sunshine Sykes issued a major benchslap to the Trump administration's claim that it can — or must! — detain immigrants who haven't been granted permanent residence. In December, she granted class certification and ordered the government to give everyone not detained at the border a bond hearing. The government ignored her ruling, based on a decision by the immigration courts housed inside the Justice Department. Separation of powers, how does it go?And Andrew and Liz talk about two “surveillance” issues: commercially-aggregated data tracking our every movement and “dynamic” pricing.The Supreme Court first started considering surveillance in US v.

Celebrate Allie's birthday with us in today's episode! Aside from the festivities, she will dive into Texas State Representative and U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico and his appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, which the two claimed was censored by President Trump. However, Allie exposes that CBS sidestepped an FCC fairness rule, meaning Colbert actually censored Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). Allie also recaps her experience moderating the Republican Texas attorney general debate, highlighting key exchanges on issues like the growing influence of Islam, the abortion pill mifepristone, and border security. Last, Allie reacts to the phenomenon of adult American Girl doll influencers using dolls for anti-ICE activism.

This bonus episode was orginally an LCI Green Room livestream with Greg Baus from the Reformed Libertarian podcast to talk about how all authority comes from God, but divine, church, and civil authority aren't the same thing—and how Christian nationalism tends to blur those lines. We reacted to a Right Response Ministry video (Joel Webbon and others) that said critics misunderstand Christian nationalism and argued the state isn't religiously neutral. They used the Ten Commandments, Psalm 2 (“kiss the Son”), and Romans 13 to claim rulers should enforce not just laws about harm between neighbors, but also laws against idolatry and false worship. Greg and I pushed back hard, saying they were collapsing divine judgment into civil punishment and never gave a real principle for separating sin from crime, which leads to an unbounded “Christian nanny state.” We also critiqued their handling of Two Kingdoms theology, “general equity,” and what Romans 13 means by “evil.” After that, we listened to a chapel talk by Pastor Matt Cotta, who warned that when Christianity gets used for a political project it turns into a counterfeit faith, and that nationalism becomes an idolatrous rival. He drew a line between nations as people-groups and modern nation-states, argued nation-states enforce unity through coercion, and said the church is Christ's kingdom—pilgrims and exiles—so worship itself witnesses against giving ultimate loyalty to any earthly nation.

1 Cor 5:9-13 When is it time to move on from "Christian" friends? That sounds pretty harsh. However, in our text Paul says that there are some so-called Christians that the church shouldn't be around. So, what would that person look like? And why is it so important to God that the church separates? We'll consider those questions as we continue our study in 1 Cor.

What does it actually mean when someone says, "I just want to be heard" and why does it matter so much in mediation? In this episode, I'm joined by Gerard Rees, Senior Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner at Simple Separation, to unpack what mediators listen for, how power imbalances show up, and why superannuation is often the most underestimated asset in family property settlements. We talk through full and frank disclosure, why you shouldn't mediate "blind," and the very real house vs super trade-offs that can shape your life not just now but in 10, 15, 30 years. In this episode we cover: Why "I want to be heard" can signal a power imbalance (especially financially); The non-negotiables before mediation: an agreed balance sheet + values + disclosure; Why legal advice before mediation changes everything (confidence, clarity, reality testing); How the law recognises non-financial contributions (parenting + domestic work); Why super feels "personal" (and why people get emotionally attached to it); The most common house vs super trade-off and how to think it through; Gerard's best "pause before you agree" tip: today's needs vs future security.

In this episode, I reflect on a recent divorce announcement from a public figure who shared that she and her soon-to-be ex are still speaking daily and working through the process together. It sparked a deeper conversation about what separation can look like when there isn't open hostility, and how, in my own experience, staying connected for a season after the initial pain settled felt supportive rather than confusing. We talk about boundaries, clarity, co-parenting, and the idea that divorce does not always have to mean resentment or war. Sometimes healing looks quieter and more collaborative than people expect. - - - - - - - - - - - - Want that chapter checklist just Click Here! Great news!

Welcome to episode #1023 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). In an era where outrage travels faster than reflection, few accusations carry as much moral force as the charge of hypocrisy… and yet few concepts are as misunderstood. Michael Hallsworth is Chief Behavioral Scientist at the Behavioral Insights Team and a leading voice in behavioral economics, with academic appointments at the University of Pennsylvania and a career devoted to understanding how real people actually think and act in complex systems. His research spans public policy, organizational behavior and social judgment, examining how incentives, norms, and cognitive biases shape everything from government programs to corporate decision-making. In his new book, The Hypocrisy Trap - How Changing What We Criticize Can Improve Our Lives, Michael challenges the conventional belief that hypocrisy is simply a moral failing to be stamped out. Instead, he reframes it as a process… an inconsistency we dislike because we believe someone is gaining an unjust benefit… and argues that relentless accusations can backfire, breeding cynicism, polarization, and institutional decay. Drawing on evolutionary psychology, behavioral science, and contemporary case studies, he distinguishes between common standards hypocrisy and the more corrosive double standards that undermine fairness itself. He explores how social media amplifies moralistic aggression, how public signaling can both distort and reshape behavior, and why tolerating certain forms of inconsistency may be necessary for leadership and democratic compromise. Rather than excusing deception, Michael calls for sharper discernment: identifying which inconsistencies cause real harm and which reflect the unavoidable trade-offs of human life. Grounded in rigorous scholarship yet strikingly practical, his work urges greater self-reflection, empathy and intellectual humility in a culture quick to condemn.
