The Supreme Court is being presented with yet another momentous illegal migrants decision to make—is an illegal who can manage to drag out the deportation process long enough entitled by law to a bond hearing that will inevitably release him to disappear once again into the American interior, or is the government allowed to detain that illegal migrant for the duration of the deportation process regardless of how long the illegal delays that process?Key to all this: The detainee subject to deportation is entitled by law at any time to raise his hand and be released—he just must choose some place other than the United States has his place of release.  He is only detained so long as he is demanding the right to remain in the US. Currently there is a circuit split on this question, with some federal circuits siding with the Trump administration argument that ongoing detention is lawful under both statute and Constitutional due process law—and that, in any case, Congress has stripped the Article III courts of the jurisdiction to hear these deportation cases--and other federal circuits claiming that not only must the government offer a bond hearing, but that there must be an overwhelming burden of proof on the government to deny bond and release, such that it is inevitable that illegals detained will be set free into the American interior.Trump's senior advisor Steven Miller's “American First Legal” organization has just filed an excellent Amicus Brief supporting (naturally) the Trump administration's position, and I'll be covering that brief in today's show.Join me LIVE at Noon ET as I break it all down!Clarence Thomas x 9: Perfect SCOTUS Mugs! https://tinyurl.com/k778wj2kFor complete Medicare guidance, dial (617) 644-0093 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter.All @TheBrancaShow mugs & MORE! https://tinyurl.com/k778wj2kJOIN OUR COMMUNITY!

In part 7 of our Set Free series, Pastor Kelli explores the difference between living by performance and living by God's promise. Through Paul's teaching in Galatians, we are reminded that salvation and our identity as God's children come through grace and faith in Jesus, not through striving, perfection, or rule-keeping. Pastor Kelli encourages us to stop trying to earn what Jesus has already given us and to trust God's promises, timing, and power. Watch and be encouraged to live in the freedom of knowing you are already loved, accepted, and chosen by God.Scriptures:Galatians 3:15-19Galatians 3:26-29Galatians 4:21-31Genesis 12:1-3Genesis 16:1-16Genesis 17:15-21Genesis 21:1-21Isaiah 54:1Our Links:calvarymd.comcalvarymd.com/givefacebook.com/calvaryfrederick

What happens after you've been saved? How do you stop allowing your past to define you and begin truly walking in the freedom Christ has given you? In this episode of Fearless with Mark & Amber, we're joined by Sarina Tarantino from San Jose Church of Christ in Jacksonville, Florida, for a conversation about testimony, discipleship, biblical truth, parenting, the Church, and what it means to live out our identity in Christ. Sarina shares how hearing our testimony challenged her to reconsider the way she viewed her own past—and the importance of allowing our children to see not a picture of perfection, but a picture of what Jesus Christ can do in a surrendered life. We also talk about something the Church desperately needs to recover: following Christ is not a spectator sport. Pastors are called to equip the saints, but we are the saints. Every believer has a role in sharing the Gospel, discipling others, serving the Body of Christ, and faithfully stewarding the people God has placed in their lives. And none of us can outsource our relationship with God. Good preaching, Christian podcasts, conferences, and biblical teachers can encourage us, but they cannot replace personally opening the Word of God and allowing the Holy Spirit to renew our minds. Later in the conversation, we discuss why confronting difficult cultural realities matters, what Sarina learned after watching the Fearless Features documentaries, and why knowing the truth equips Christians to stand rather than live in fear. Finally, we share more about our upcoming September 12 event in Jacksonville, Florida, where Mark and Amber will share their personal testimonies and talk about marriage, family, discipleship, identity in Christ, prodigals, and finding freedom from the things that once held us captive. Because your past may be part of your story—but Jesus gets the final word. LINKS & RESOURCES September 12 Jacksonville, FL Event / Registration:

We all have a master...Is it sin or Jesus? Listen in to find out how when we are bound to Christ he sets us free.

In this message, Pastor Alex continues the Set Free series by exploring Galatians 2:11-21 and reminding us that the Gospel doesn't just change what we believe, it transforms the way we live. Through Paul's confrontation with Peter, we see the dangers of living for the approval of people instead of God and the freedom that comes through justification by faith in Christ alone. This message encourages us to reject performance-based Christianity, embrace our new identity in Jesus, and live each day by faith in the One who loved us and gave Himself for us.Scriptures:Galatians 2:11-21Galatians 1:10Acts 10Galatians 2:14Galatians 2:15-162 Corinthians 5:21Galatians 2:17-20Our Links:calvarymd.comcalvarymd.com/givefacebook.com/calvaryfrederick

In this message, Pastor Benny continues the Set Free series by exploring Galatians 2:1-10 and reminding us that the freedom Christ gives is worth protecting. Paul shows that the Gospel of grace must never be compromised by adding human effort, religious performance, or cultural expectations to what Jesus has already accomplished. This message challenges us to stand firm in the truth of the Gospel, pursue unity with other believers, and allow the grace we've received to overflow into compassion for those around us. As we live in the freedom of Christ, we are called to love God, love people, and help bring that same freedom to others.Scriptures:Galatians 2:1-10Galatians 2:6-9Galatians 2:10James 2:14-18Links:calvarymd.comcalvarymd.com/givefacebook.com/calvaryfrederick

God is more in control than you realize — and that's not a threat, it's the most stabilizing truth in Scripture. Pastor Ian walks through Romans 8–11 to show that the tension between God's sovereign will and human choice isn't a contradiction to resolve but a mystery to rest in, and that the people you can't stop praying for may be the clearest evidence that God is already moving in their lives.Support the show

If there is one story today that delineates between what the GOP is doing and what democrats are doing... it's the one about the illegal alien from Thailand who'd been raping a 10 year old girl for years... and Tim Walz granting him clemency rather than deportation. How Team Trump moved in and sent the child rapist packing. The democratic socialist agenda is REALLY extreme (and stupid), listen to its major points. And Flock cameras increasingly are under fire, as more Americans reject the idea of being surveilled under the guise of public safety.

July 05, 2026 - Kyle Rye - Set Free by Buford Church of Christ

Returning to our study on the Fruits of the Spirit, this is part 6. So far we’ve looked at living on the wrong side of the list – what happens when we live WITHOUT the direction of the Holy Spirit and under the influence of the world and our flesh. We see all those things that create destruction and chaos in our lives, but wow, they happen so naturally. We don’t have to try to be selfish, that comes easily. We don’t have to strive to be jealous. Sexual immorality is something that peaks its head up as a temptation early in our teen years and continually pesters us. Then notice what Galatians 5:21says, “Anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.” Woah, now that’s scary. Heaven is on the line here? What exactly does this mean? Every single one of us have struggled with at least one of these things on the wrong side of the list. Does this mean we’re all excluded from eternity with God? Does this mean we’re out? This is a big deal, so we need to be sure. If Heaven depends on getting it right, let’s get it right! Nothing is worth missing out on Heaven. Here’s what this DOESN’T mean. This doesn’t mean that as a follower of Jesus we could never commit any of these sins. What this does mean is that as a follower of Jesus we can’t STAY in these sins. God has given us something that calls us out of that old way of life. He has made us new with a new operating system. Our new operating system as a follower of Jesus is the Holy Spirit. We studied the Holy Spirit in depth in episode #2146. This is literally God living IN YOU. This is the direct guidance and influence of something greater than you now directing your life. Do you know what this means? This means with a new operating system, you are naturally changing and you’re no longer who you once were. Girl, YOU’VE CHANGED! You don’t have to keep living the way you used to. You no longer have to struggle with the same things you’ve always struggled with. The Holy Spirit is changing you from within. Now, you get to be DIFFERENT. Under the direction of the Holy Spirit and it’s inner influence, you live different. This isn’t a New Year’s resolution that you forget about by February. This isn’t an “I’ll try to be better”. This is the true inner change that we seek. A change of your desires. A change of your will. A change of your operating system. Does Jesus really change lives? ABSOLUTELY AND THIS IS EXACTLY HOW. I’ve seen the soul who has struggled with addiction for years absolutely SET FREE when surrendered to Jesus. I’ve seen the hardened heart absolutely HEALED when surrendered to Jesus. I’ve seen the depression and anxiety lift. I’ve seen the change from within. I know it to be true because I’ve experienced it. What nothing else in the world can do, JESUS CAN! Oh what a little box we put our God in when we think this is too big for him. Girl, absolutely nothing is too far gone for the work of his Holy Spirit. Nothing is beyond his reach. Nothing is too late or too hard. God is good enough and God is BIG enough to change EVERYTHING inside of you, everything you’ve ever struggled with, everything that has ever bound you up and caused you to struggle. And here’s how he does it: The Fruit of His Spirit. Fruit. Fruit naturally grows on the right kind of tree. It’s not forced, it’s natural. If it’s an apple tree, it produces apples. If it’s a cherry tree, it produces cherries. If it’s a pear tree, it produces pears. Not because the tree has tried hard to change or willed itself into production, but because it naturally lives as it was created to live. And this is the example God chose to use to represent what happens in our lives when his Holy Spirit dwells within us. We just naturally begin producing very specific fruit that comes from our attachment and growth in Him. Galatians 5: 22-23, “But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.” How does that verse begin? BUT. BUT the Holy Spirit produces something different in our lives. This is an interruption to what has been explained in the verses before. Before we have what our lives naturally become without the Holy Spirit. That was the list of yuck we went through all last week. That was the envy, the drunkenness, the selfishness, the anger, the jealousy, the quarreling, the hostility, the immorality and impurity, and seeking everything but God. Thank God for his interruption. BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT. You can live on the wrong side of the list and be ruled by the world and your flesh. However, that’s not the way to Heaven. The way to Heaven is to connect and grow in Jesus – and when you do, the Holy Spirit begins doing his work in you to change you from the inside. These fruits of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, NATURALLY grow in your life as a result of abiding in Jesus. This isn’t something you set your alarm for and work for. This isn’t something with a goal box you can check. This is something that GROWS within you because of connection. It’s a change that happens naturally that makes you different. Your focus is connection. The fruit will happen naturally. God didn’t have to design it all that way. He could have designed right living to be a goal we achieve. He could have designed the required change within us to be a 10 level system we work our way through. He could have given it all a grading curve in which only a few pass. BUT HE DIDN’T. It’s not about our work at all. It’s about the work of the Holy Spirit within us. Our job is to stay connected. Our job is to surrender to the change he starts within us. Our job is to embrace the growth. Our job is to naturally produce what he promises to grow within us. FRUIT. It’s the evidence of a different operating system. FRUIT. It’s not achieved by working, but by abiding. FRUIT – it’s fragile, it’s attractive, it’s nourishing, and it’s natural. So as we begin this study on each of the Fruits of the Spirit, don’t hear this as another list of things you have to go accomplish. Don’t turn this into another burden you carry or another measuring stick you beat yourself up with. Instead, let every fruit become an invitation. If I’m lacking peace, I don’t need to try harder—I need to draw closer. If I’m struggling with patience, I don’t need to grit my teeth—I need to stay connected to the One who grows patience in me. If I’m battling self-control, I don’t need more willpower—I need more surrender. The fruit is never the source. Jesus is. And here’s the beautiful thing: Fruit doesn’t appear overnight. It grows. Slowly. Steadily. Sometimes so gradually you don’t even notice it until one day you realize you don’t react the way you used to. You don’t chase the things you used to chase. You don’t become undone by the things that once controlled you. Why? Because the Holy Spirit has been faithfully doing His work all along. Don’t despise the growing season. Don’t quit because you’re not fully mature yet. Healthy things grow, and if you’re connected to Jesus, you will too. So over these next several days, we’re not studying a checklist. We’re studying the evidence of a life surrendered to God. We’re studying what naturally happens when His Spirit is alive within us. This is what Jesus came to do – not just forgive your past, but transform your future. Not just rescue you from sin, but restore you into the person you were always created to be. So stay connected. Stay surrendered. Stay growing. Because the Holy Spirit is still producing fruit in you. And one day, you’ll look back and realize the miracle wasn’t that you tried harder. The miracle is that Jesus changed you.

Read OnlineWhen Jesus came to the territory of the Gadarenes, two demoniacs who were coming from the tombs met him. They were so savage that no one could travel by that road. They cried out, “What have you to do with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the appointed time?” Matthew 8:28–29After delivering His Sermon on the Mount and performing many miracles among His own people, Jesus intentionally journeys across the Sea of Galilee into Gentile territory—the region of the Gadarenes, near Gadara, a town within the pagan Decapolis. His choice underscores His mission to extend salvation beyond Israel.The location where Jesus and His disciples arrived was no accident. It was a desolate area filled with tombs, symbols of death, impurity, and spiritual desolation. According to Jewish law, contact with graves rendered one ritually unclean (cf. Numbers 19:16). Spiritually, these tombs vividly illustrate the isolation, emptiness, and lifelessness that sin imposes upon the human soul.The note that the demoniacs “were so savage that no one could travel by that road” further reveals the effects of grave sin. Evil seeks dominance and destruction; it isolates, destroys relationships, and makes peaceful coexistence impossible. This passage reflects the devastating consequences of allowing evil to reign unchecked within one's soul: It becomes uncontrollable, violent, and destructive. Evil never leads to peace, but rather to chaos, isolation, and fear.By entering into this territory, our Lord reveals His willingness to enter the isolation and desolation we all experience due to sin and every evil attack. He comes to us precisely when we are at our worst, most vulnerable, to set us free from the grip of the evil one and from all of his destructive works.When these two men see Jesus, the demons possessing them immediately recognize Him as the Son of God and acknowledge His authority over them. Their recognition raises an important spiritual question for each of us: Do I also recognize Christ's presence in my life? Am I aware of His divine authority over sin and evil, and do I trust in His desire and power to set me free? When the demons ask Jesus, “Have you come here to torment us before the appointed time?”, they reveal their full knowledge of their ultimate fate: eternal damnation. They understood this clearly because, even after their fall, demons retain their natural angelic powers. Among these powers is their exceptional intelligence and their capacity to tempt humans by subtly suggesting deceptive thoughts, drawing us persistently away from God's truth.Because demons know their eternal fate with clarity, they seek to use their intellect and suggestive powers to lead us into the very despair they themselves experience. They have no hope of eternal life. Out of their hatred for God and humanity, they attempt to conform us to their hopelessness, convincing us that we cannot escape sin, that hope is lost, and that we are doomed to misery.Only our Lord can shatter these demonic lies. Only Christ can break the chains of despair, isolation, and sin. By setting these two demoniacs free, Jesus illustrates His deep longing to do the same for us. By demonstrating His authority over the most severe effects of evil, Jesus reveals His absolute authority over every evil we encounter: every sin, temptation, oppressive thought, confusion, and especially despair.Reflect today on Jesus' choice to cross the Sea of Galilee for the sole purpose of setting these two demoniacs free from their oppression. Our Lord journeys to you with the same resolve. What is it that oppresses you? What thoughts tempt you to fear or despair? What sins do you habitually struggle with? Jesus wants to enter into every form of isolation and desolation you experience. Look for Him, recognize Him when He comes, profess your faith in His authority, and let Him fulfill His deepest desire by setting you free.Most powerful Lord, You have all authority over evil. In my weakness, I cry out to You and plead for Your mercy. Please set me free, O Lord, and protect me from the evil one. Forgive my sins and restore me to deeper communion with You and all Your children. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Healing of the Gadarene Demoniac, 14th-century fresco, Visoki Dečani Monastery.Source: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life!

If no one could keep the Mosaic covenant, why did God make it? How do we learn to trust God? Rabbi Schneider shares in this episode of Discovering the Jewish Jesus that God wanted to prepare man to receive a savior. Because of our sinful nature, it is impossible to keep the Law. Learn today how the three biblical covenants compare, what they mean to you, and how traditions of men interfere with God's plan. **** BECOME A MONTHLY PARTNER - https://djj.show/YTAPartner  **** DONATE - https://djj.show/YTADonate  **** TEACHING NOTES -  https://djj.show/qdo TITLE: Set Free From Sin and Death (The Relationship Between the Abrahamic and Mosaic Covenants) Visit our website at DiscoveringTheJewishJesus.com  

In this message, Pastor Mike continues the Set Free series by exposing three major enemies of spiritual freedom: delusion and denial, secrecy, and isolation. Through Scripture, we are reminded that Christ has already set us free, but staying in that freedom requires vigilance, honesty, and dependence on God. Mike challenges us to identify the strongholds competing for our hearts and shows how God's Word, God's Spirit, and godly community are essential for lasting freedom and healing.

In this message, Pastor Shawn continues the Set Free series by walking through Galatians 1:11–24 and showing the life-changing power of the true Gospel of grace. Paul's testimony reminds us that salvation is not Jesus plus anything, but Jesus alone. Through his dramatic transformation from persecutor to preacher, we see that only God can rewrite a life and that grace both saves us and sends us. This message calls us to lay down striving, stop trying to earn what Christ has already finished, and live fully in the freedom of grace. If this message encourages you, share it, and let us know how God is moving in your life.Scriptures Used:Galatians 1:9Galatians 1:11–24Acts 8:1Acts 8:3Acts 9:10Acts 13Galatians 1:13–14Galatians 1:15–16Philippians 3Ephesians 1:4Titus 2:11Romans 6:14Colossians 2:14Jude 1:4Romans 6:1–2Romans 10:9Linkscalvarymd.comcalvarymd.com/givefacebook.com/calvaryfrederick

In the opening message of our Set Free series, Pastor Benny walks through Galatians 1:1-10 and reminds us that true freedom is found in the grace of Jesus Christ alone. Paul confronts the danger of adding human effort, religious performance, or cultural opinions to the finished work of Christ. This message challenges us to step off the treadmill of "never enough," reject distorted versions of the gospel, and embrace the freedom that comes from knowing that Jesus is enough. Watch, be encouraged, and discover the life-changing power of God's grace.Scriptures Used:Galatians 1:1-10John 14:62 Corinthians 11:14Links:calvarymd.comcalvarymd.com/givefacebook.com/calvaryfrederick

Your 23-year-old self might have measured a trip by how fast you could pack, how far you could drive, and how many friends you could squeeze into a weekend. But as we hit midlife, travel often stops being about proving we are adventurous and starts being about getting honest with what we need. I'm Cheryl Esch, and I'm exploring a question that keeps coming up when I watch younger travelers move through the world with pure spontaneity: how would you travel differently now, as a woman 50 and up?We talk about why last-minute plans can feel exciting at 23 and oddly stressful later on, and how that shift is not a loss of fun, it's growth. We dig into identity, confidence, and the real reason some of us avoid being alone, especially on holidays. Then we move into intentional travel planning for solo travelers: the mental, emotional, and even spiritual prep that can turn “time off” into genuine renewal.I share three grounding questions to ask before you book anything: How am I feeling right now in my body and mind? Do I feel comfortable giving myself permission to step away? What do I want to feel during the trip and when I return home? Whether you crave a quiet retreat, a break from social media, or a purpose-filled adventure, you'll leave with a clearer sense of what meaningful travel looks like in this season.If you want support creating a purposeful solo trip, I also share how one-on-one coaching can help. Subscribe for more, share this with a friend who needs time away, and leave a review telling me: what do you want your next trip to give you?Coaching InvitationIf you're feeling drawn toward solo travel but unsure where to begin, this is something I support women with through 1:1 coaching. Together we can explore what kind of travel experience fits your season of life and create a thoughtful plan that reflects the woman you are becoming.https://cherylbeckesch.com/workwithme/Apply for the Set Free to Become: A Spirit-led Travel Journey Coachinghttps://forms.gle/CG6K2pXEQmiXwfBW8Support the showhttps://www.cherylbeckesch.comhello@cherylbeckesch.comInstagram @solotraveladventures50

Judge Edwin Torres released Timothy Hudson four months ago. He called the government's case “a much closer call” and said he would not characterize it as strong. Then on June 10th, the same judge reversed himself, ordered Hudson detained, and said from the bench that he could “snap at any time” and that no conditions of release can protect the community. That reversal tells you something changed between the two hearings — and the prosecution hasn't said publicly what it was.Meanwhile, the question of parental accountability grows louder. Hudson's own step-grandmother publicly stated that the parents should face consequences. Anna's ex-boyfriend has said she was afraid of Hudson and took steps to avoid being alone with him. Three teenagers who had not been raised together were assigned to a single cabin on a cruise ship in international waters.Eric Faddis examines what prompted the judicial reversal, the jurisdictional wall blocking parental charges, and what the prosecution must do before September to survive a judge who has already expressed doubts about the strength of their case.Timothy Hudson, sixteen, is charged as an adult with first-degree murder. He has pleaded not guilty and is entitled to the presumption of innocence.A look back at the most compelling stories of the week.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Episode Summary: Have you ever wondered why trauma seems to leave lasting marks on your mind, heart, and even relationships? In today's conversation, I sit down with Dr. J. Otis Ledbetter, author of Set Free, Released from the Damage of Trauma, to uncover how we can overcome the destructive effects of trauma and move towards God's peace and restoration. Drawing from scripture and real-life experiences, Dr. Ledbetter reveals how even biblical heroes wrestled with trauma and how we can learn from their stories to create tranquil paths of healing and wholeness. If you've been searching for hope after loss, abuse, crisis, or disappointment, this episode will encourage you that freedom is possible. Today, we're going to be talking about how to overcome the lasting damage of trauma through God's word. Quotables from the episode: Trauma is not the event. Trauma is the chronic reaction to that event. Trauma is ongoing. An event can happen and then it can be in your past. You may never forget it, but it no longer identifies you. And it no longer points the direction that you should go, whether life or death. The first emotion that somebody faces after a traumatic event is fear. Fear leads to anxiety. Anxiety leads to mood swings. Mood swings will lead you into isolation. Isolation brings the worst. It brings hopelessness. And it brings despair, and loss of purpose. The truth is what heals. God does not heal deceit. He heals truth. The one word for parents to pass a heritage to their children their faith, is intentionality. Just do something. Don't think it can be done by accident. Be intentional. The trauma of the unknown is, I think, the most garden variety trauma you can have. Don't leave out the spiritual because there is a God who loves you and he is a God of hope. God knows us so intimately that he knows what we need and willingly provides it. God says, come to me if you're heavy laden. I'll give you rest. He didn't say I'll rescue you. He's not going to rescue you. But he's going to give you a place of rest. Scripture References: Isaiah 61:1—“He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound.” Psalm 40:2 (NIV) – “He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.” Joel 2:25 (ESV) – “I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten.” Recommended Resources: Set Free, Released from the Damage of Trauma by Dr. J.
