MSC Spezial - Tag 2Der Bundeskanzler hat auf der Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz mit einer programmatischen Rede den Ton gesetzt. Merz formulierte vier Säulen einer „Agenda der Freiheit": militärische Stärke, ein souveränes Europa, eine neue transatlantische Partnerschaft und ein globales Netz neuer Allianzen. „In dieser neuen Welt ist Wettbewerbspolitik Sicherheitspolitik und Sicherheitspolitik Wettbewerbspolitik. Beides dient unserer Freiheit", sagte er. [02:33]Die Gäste in dieser Episode:Finnlands Außenministerin Elina Valtonen spricht aus der Erfahrung eines Landes, das über 1.300 Kilometer Grenze mit Russland teilt. Zur Verhandlungsbereitschaft Moskaus ist sie ernüchtert: „Russland spielt auf Zeit. Ich habe nichts gesehen, was darauf hindeuten würde, dass sie von ihren maximalistischen Zielen abgewendet wären." Sie sieht das Europa der 27 keineswegs als schwach.[11:04]Die dänische Ministerpräsidentin Mette Frederiksen ist davon überzeugt, dass Europa gemeinsam Verteidigungsinvestitionen stemmen kann. Sie nennt als Beispiel die Corona-Pandemie, während der es gelungen sei, in kürzester Zeit einen Impfstoff zu entwickeln und die Produktion hochzufahren – genau so müsse Europa nun auch bei der Rüstungsproduktion vorgehen. [23:00]Christian Sewing, Deutsche-Bank-Chef und Präsident des Bundesverbands der Deutschen Banken, fordert Eurobonds für den Aufbau der Verteidigungsfähigkeit. „Für besondere Umstände und in besonderen Situationen sollten wir darüber nachdenken, ob wir vielleicht mit Eurobonds finanzieren. Die Verteidigung ist so ein Bereich", sagt Sewing. Das Kapital sei da, aber es fließe in die falschen Märkte.[24:39]Raumfahrtministerin Dorothee Bär macht auf der MSC deutlich, dass Verteidigung heute ohne eigene Weltrauminfrastruktur nicht mehr denkbar ist. Von knapp 11.000 aktiven Satelliten gehören allein 7.000 zu Elon Musks Starlink. „Er ist auf jeden Fall der stärkste Player, und der hat uns gelehrt, dass es nicht mehr reicht, so langsam zu sein.“[39:53]Hier geht es zur Anmeldung für den Space.TableTable Briefings - For better informed decisions.Sie entscheiden besser, weil Sie besser informiert sind – das ist das Ziel von Table.Briefings.

Romans 12:18 Family of God #3 – Living as a Family Intro: Matthew 5:14-16 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. ‘ John Nolland To build a city on a hill is a piece of assertiveness. It expresses a certain confidence and a claim to importance, and flags a desire on the part of the inhabitants to play a wider role in human affairs. People who want to live a quiet and secluded life build their cities tucked out of sight in the hope that they won't be noticed. The Gospel of Matthew: a commentary on the Greek text Homes were lit with small terra-cotta oil-burning lamps. These could be carried around when required, but would normally sit on a stand conveniently located to provide a basic level of illumination for the whole dwelling (this is possible because the homes in mind consisted of single rooms, as was typically the case with Palestinian homes of the period). Lighting a lamp in order to hide it under the something is as senseless as thinking that a city built on a hill can be kept from the sight of those who pass by. In order to fulfill their nature, those who are the light of the world must be prepared to be located in places of clear visibility. This is all about a mission perspective. The outcome is that people are impressed by what God is currently doing. Our city is broken by sin, and the God-designed role of the family has been fractured.Because of this, our church must be a visible, living example of what it means to live as a family the way God intended—so people can find a place to belong that glorifies Jesus and points them to Him. Get ready to be visible! This is not to scare you but to make you realize that with Jesus, you are different from the average person! You do stand out! BUT Luke 8:16-17 ‘ “Now no one after lighting a lamp covers it over with a container, or puts it under a bed; but he puts it on a lampstand, so that those who come in may see the light. For nothing is hidden that will not become evident, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light. ‘ If I come into your house and you have most of the lights off in an attempt to hide the mess, it's still visible, even if you don't think so. If our church is hiding sin or not following the commands of Jesus, it will come to light! Perfection is not the goal here but rather, reliance on God and our church family so that others learn to do the same! What fruit do we want evident in our church? Fruit: Love! Agape: selfless, sacrificial love John 13:34-35 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” Philippians 2:2-4 ‘Don't just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. ‘ Fruit: Unity: Harmony within a community (family) John 13:34′ Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone. ‘ Romans 12:18 ‘Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose. Don't be selfish; don't try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don't look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. ‘ Does not mean we have to be everyone's best friend or even like everyone. How do we do this as individuals? (we are family, made up as individuals, what the individual does, affects the whole family) How do we live as a family: Believe the best Currently people are suspicious, always wondering others motives (from a negative view) Family should be in a posture of grace Colossians 3:13 – ‘Make allowance for each other's faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. ‘ DEF: The amount that something is permitted. Sewing definition : a built-in buffer for errors and future alterations, giving you “wiggle room” to make garments bigger or smaller”. Colossians 3:13 says allowances for faults, not sin. But sometimes, when we are hurting, we can equate someone’s faults with sin. Why? ‘“The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is? ‘Jeremiah 17:9 In contrast 1 Cor. 13:4a – Love is patient, love is kind. (gives allowance) If we do not do this and suspicion settles into our spirit then it's like: 1 Cor. 13.1 – ‘If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. What settles in your heart starts to come out in your conversation! How do we give allowance? Pray for the person! In the moment On your own Ask the Holy Spirit if your heart is deceiving you BONUS: What if it is sin? Matthew 18 – go to them! First!!!!!! I have seen this broken so many times. It is incredibly divisive! It is the opposite of unity! More later Watch our words Watch our language (my bible tiles this section as “living as children of the light” Ephesians 4:29 – 32 – ‘Don't use foul or abusive language. Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander Watch our motives Are we believing the best or trying to comfort our own soul and wrong thinking? Are we believing the lies? From our past, our enemy etc. Luke 6:45 – ‘A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your heart. ‘ Don't gossip Bible “gossip” definition: whispering, tattling, spreading of secrets or rumors for the purpose of slander (which has to do with what I want/need) The Social Issues Research Centre found that 55 percent of men's conversation and 67 percent of women's conversation involve gossip. Research shows that women are more likely to participate in gossip than men Romans 1:29 – gossip is evil Gossip phrases “What do you think about…, did you hear, did you notice…” The gossip prayer request If you hear these phrases this is how we should respond Please stop talking about that. I don't want to gossip. Sounds like you are hurt. Have you prayed about that? Is this about a sin issue in their life? (Matthew 18) How to help with Matthew 18… Why is gossip so serious? It brings pain to the person It is a way for us to feel “better” than someone else” (by pointing out their “flaws”) This is the opposite of Agape, what we want to produce in our church. It brings divisiveness and disunity, the opposite of the unity Christ wants for his Bride! Encourage 1 Thess. 5:11 So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing. Listen! James 1:19 – ‘Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. ‘ Listen to learn Listen to love Listen to serve Agree to disagree Serve one another ‘God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. ‘ 1 Peter 4:10 Honor one another Romans 12:10 – ‘Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. If you are struggling with these things (unity, love, gossip, listening, honoring etc. it is a sign of heart issues. Wrong thoughts Unhealed past Unforgiveness Bitterness 8. Prayer to pray: ‘Holy Spirit, please point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life and may the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord , my rock and my redeemer.’ (Psalm 139:24, Psalm 19:14) Why does all this matter? How we treat each other as a family determines if others want to be a part of our church and how people view Jesus! As this church grows, whatever WE are will determine what the church will be in the future! What does the word say? Matthew 5:16 – Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in Heaven. John 13:34-35 ‘So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” ‘ Romans 15:5-6 ‘May God, who gives this patience and encouragement, help you live in complete harmony with each other, as is fitting for followers of Christ Jesus. Then all of you can join together with one voice, giving praise and glory to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. ‘

On this show, our specialty is sequels, sequels, and more sequels.  From the good ones, to the bad ones, to the really ugly ones, we'll be covering them all!  We've got homicidal maniacs that won't stay in the grave, sci-fi epics whose stories cannot be told in a single tale, and much much more.  For our 29th episode, we'll be taking on the wacky and wild 3rd chapter in the Basket Case series with "BASKET CASE 3: THE PROOGENY" from 1992. This film is once again written and directed by genre great Frank Henenlotteer (Basket Case 1-3, Brain Damage, Frankenhooker) and stars Kevin VanHentenryck as Duane Bradley once more, and co-stars Annie Ross as Granny Ruth. This sequel finds our Bradley twins, Duane and the monstrous Belial, picking up right where part two left off with the two of them not on the greatest of terms. This time however, Belial is about to be a daddy! And they're going to need a bigger basket. Get ready to join our hosts Cameron Scott and Dustin Hubbard (Howling At The Full Moon) as they dissect and take a deep dive into a world filled with Bradley twin shenanigans, a Casey (Beverly Bonner cameo), freakishly fantastic kills, Jolt Cola product placement, sing-a-longs, makeshift Transformer mech suits, and more! Enjoy!   "Sewing him back on like that wasn't the answer, Duane."

This episode examines the Shabbos prohibition of sewing, focusing on tightening loose threads and functional stitching. We discuss when pulling a thread to reconnect fabric constitutes a biblical violation, the role of knots versus multiple stitches, and cases where liability applies even without a knot. The shiur also clarifies rabbinic prohibitions, attaching items to garments, and the use of pins or stitches. Finally, it addresses drawstring-style sleeves and arm fastenings—distinguishing between prohibited tightening that resembles sewing and permitted adjustments designed for regular opening and closing. Clear practical guidance for common clothing scenarios on Shabbos.

On this week's episode, we had the pleasure of chatting with an up and coming clothing aficionado, Eugene Park @euge.park. While he's relatively new to the clothing game, his knack for figuring out his place in our little pocket of internet subculture shines through brilliantly. From growing up in the greater Chicago metro area and thrifting with his mom, to now living in Southern California, he has a unique perspective. We talk finding your style as a full grown adult, a love of sneakers, the intimidation factor of fashion, bucking the rules, Uncle Ralph, making a career out of your passion, and a whole lot more.

Sewing is at least 45,000 years ago, and it was known in nearly every culture on earth, but for millennia it was all done by hand. There are multiple claimants for the inventor of the first sewing machine, but the one who emerged with the US patent was Elias Howe. Unfortunately, his machine didn't really work.

She was a disciple of Christ and that impacted how she lived and cared for others. Dorcas is remembered for making garments for others, specifically widows, but her legacy was not accidental, it was intentional. A decision to let the love of Christ influence her interactions with others.

At an unexpected juncture in her life, artist Jordana Munk Martin turned to the legacy of her grandmother's trove of textile books. Edith Wyle founded the Craft and Folk Art Museum in Los Angeles in 1973, curating unconventional exhibits and instilling a love of art in her family. Her granddaughter found inspiration and comfort in the books, then opened the library for other artists to explore. That original collection is now the core of Tatter, a nonprofit organization named for soft, worn, well-used textiles. It includes the iconic Tatter Blue Library, an array of classes, a journal, and retail. “We're really a conversation about cloth, housed in a cultural arts organization,” says Jordana. Tatter's educational offerings began with classes in stitching, adding online classes and presentations when in-person learning became unavailable. One longstanding subject is the World Embroidery Series, which has offered detailed instruction in dozens of stitches and introduction to the rich cultural origins. The library invokes the cultural and spiritual connotations of the color blue. In an elegant dark blue–paneled space, the collection includes not only books but also drawers of buttons, a collection of swatches following the stitch patterns in Barbara Walker's knitting treasuries, tools, and textiles. Tatter's holdings now include treasured collections of 12 women: embroidered samplers, thimbles, darners, textiles, tools, and a luxurious assortment of fiber art books and periodicals. The Brooklyn Museum recently transferred 200 objects to Tatter, reflecting the organization's deep and growing Brooklyn roots. Like Tatter, our conversation combines cultural inquiry with human connection.
