April 2025: Liberation Day. President Trump announces sweeping new tariffs. And then, the dollar did something a safe haven currency is not supposed to do: it fell.Tarek Hassan (Boston University, CEPR), working with Thomas Mertens, Jingye Wang and Tony Zhang, has been investigating what makes a currency the global anchor. Being the world's biggest economy helps, but what really matters is how far an economy's shocks affect world prices. Tariffs reduce this effect. But are we near a tipping point, when the euro takes over as the global reserve currency? We might be closer than you think and, if a change happens, it might happen more quickly than you think too.This is the third of four episodes drawn from papers commissioned for the second Economic Policy: Papers on European and Global Issues conference, held in Venice on 19 and 20 June 2026 and organised by CEPR, CESifo and Sciences Po.The research behind this episode:Hassan, Tarek A., Thomas M. Mertens, Jingye Wang, and Tony Zhang. 2026. "Openness, Integration, and the International Monetary Order." Conference draft, presented at the 2nd Economic Policy: Papers on European and Global Issues Conference, Venice, 19 to 20 June 2026. Forthcoming in Economic Policy.To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim, and Tarek A. Hassan. 2026. "The Dollar Anchor Is Slipping." VoxTalks Economics (podcast).About the guestTarek A. Hassan is Professor of Economics at Boston University, a Research Fellow of the National Bureau of Economic Research, and a Research Fellow of the Centre for Economic Policy Research. His research spans international finance, macro-finance, and the political economy of growth, from measuring firm-level political risk with large language models to, in this paper, the size and openness that decide which currency the world treats as safe.Research cited in this episodeLiberation Day and the April 2025 tariffs. On 2 April 2025, the White House announced a sweeping set of import tariffs. Hassan and his co-authors treat the market reaction to that announcement, in which the dollar fell even as US interest rates rose and US stocks underperformed, as the anomaly their model is built to explain; a currency behaving that way in a crisis usually counts as risky, not safe. CEPR has gathered further commentary on the announcement and its aftermath on its Trump and Tariffs page.Exorbitant privilege. A term coined in the 1960s for the advantage the United States gets from issuing the world's reserve currency, since foreign investors will hold dollar assets at a lower return than they would demand elsewhere. Hassan uses it to explain why Americans can borrow more cheaply than almost anyone else, and why losing anchor status would raise the US government's own borrowing costs.Effective size. The paper's central idea. It is not simply how big an economy is, but how much weight its shocks carry in setting world prices, which depends on both actual size and openness to trade and capital flows. Tariffs and capital controls both reduce a country's effective size without touching its GDP, which is how they can knock a currency out of contention as a global anchor.The Budget Lab at Yale's tariff tracker. The paper draws its estimate that the current average tariff on US imports and exports, once retaliation is included, runs at around 12% from The Budget Lab at Yale (2025), Where We Stand: The Fiscal, Economic, and Distributional Effects of All US Tariffs Enacted in 2025 Through April 2, a running assessment of US trade policy maintained by the nonpartisan Budget Lab at Yale.Ilzetzki, Reinhart, and Rogoff's exchange rate classification. Ilzetzki, Reinhart, and Rogoff. 2019. "Exchange Arrangements Entering the Twenty-First Century: Which Anchor Will Hold?" Quarterly Journal of Economics 134 (2). This dataset classifies the de facto exchange rate regime of 141 economies. Hassan and his co-authors use it to calibrate their model and to show that the share of countries pegging tightly to the dollar falls with country size almost exactly as their theory predicts.The Chinn-Ito index of capital account openness. Chinn, Menzie D., and Hiro Ito. 2006. "What Matters for Financial Development? Capital Controls, Institutions, and Interactions." Journal of Development Economics 81 (1): 163 to 192. This widely used index scores how open a country's capital account is to cross-border investment. China scores close to the bottom, in the same range as India, Russia, Brazil and Pakistan, while the United States and the eurozone score close to the maximum, which is central to why Hassan treats the renminbi as a non-contender for anchor status while capital controls remain in place.More VoxTalks Economics episodesTariffs, Uncertainty, and the Exchange Rate, the first episode in this series, in which Alfonso Merendino and Tommaso Monacelli offer another explanation of why the dollar fell rather than rose after the 2025 tariffs.How Exchange Rates Responded to Tariffs, in which Giancarlo Corsetti also tells Tim Phillips what happened to the dollar after Liberation Day, and why the textbook response did not show up.Related reading on VoxEU.orgTariffs and US Dollar Depreciations: Not So Surprising After All, a VoxEU column in which Giancarlo Corsetti, Simon Lloyd and Daniel Ostry argue that the dollar's fall after Liberation Day looks less puzzling once expected retaliation and long run risk are taken into account.Tariffs, Global Imbalances, and the Dollar, in which Oleg Itskhoki and Dmitry Mukhin examine whether tariffs aimed at shrinking the US trade deficit can actually work, and what trying would mean for the dollar.

If you've ever said yes when you meant no, and then spent the rest of the day resenting it, this episode is for you. Host Somya sits down with Glen Alex, LCSW, author and boundaries educator, to unpack why healthy boundaries have nothing to do with being cold or selfish, and everything to do with keeping yourself safe. Glen breaks down the two most common boundary breakers she sees in her practice, oversharing and over-yessing, and walks through the difference between appropriate guilt and the kind that just keeps you stuck. If you're ready to stop apologizing for choosing yourself, this conversation offers a clear, compassionate place to start. About the Guest: Glen Alex is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and author who has spent years studying what it means to live with boundaries that support both connection and self-respect. She is the author of Living in Total Health and Living Boundaries, and offers complimentary consultations through her practice. Key Takeaways: Boundaries aren't walls built to keep people out. They're agreements you make with yourself about what you will and won't carry. Watch for the two most common boundary breakers: oversharing (giving people ammunition before trust is earned) and over-yessing (saying yes when the honest answer is no). Learn to tell appropriate guilt (your conscience flagging a real value you violated) apart from inappropriate guilt (a looping "I should" that has no corrective action attached). Start where the discomfort actually is. If anxiety or burnout is showing up, trace it back to the specific relationship or ask that needs a boundary. Slipping up doesn't mean you failed. The moment you notice, you step back in, no self-punishment required. A boundary only holds if your "why" is strong enough to outlast the pushback from people used to getting their way.

Step inside the sweltering, smoke-filled basement assembly room of the Dallas Police Headquarters at 12:30 a.m. on Saturday, November 23, 1963, as District Attorney Henry Wade addresses a packed room of over one hundred global journalists. Looking to deliver the first formal summary of the murder charges against Lee Harvey Oswald, the exhausted prosecutor makes a staggering, cold-war slip of the tongue—accidentally declaring to the world that Oswald was a member of the anti-Castro "Free Cuba movement" rather than the pro-Castro "Fair Play for Cuba Committee." Before the error can fully scramble the public's understanding of the suspect's political alignment, a voice rings out clearly from the back of the room near a concrete abutment. It is Jack Ruby, a local strip club owner holding a notepad and pencil, who loudly corrects the District Attorney and establishes the record on live national television.While assistant prosecutors would later note that Ruby delivered his correction in a normal, helpful tone, his sudden public display of political literacy immediately raises eyebrows. When later questioned by the FBI on how a politically uneducated nightclub owner knew the exact name of Oswald's organization, Ruby offered a straightforward defense, claiming he had simply heard it on local radio and that it had stuck in his mind. But to historical researchers, his familiarity with Cuba was already a matter of record, tracing back to his highly scrutinized, documented trips to revolutionary Havana in the summer of 1959 to visit Tropicana casino gambling manager Lewis McWillie. Rather than keeping a low profile, the self-styled Dallas showman eagerly intercepts Henry Wade as he leaves the press conference, extending his hand for a personal handshake and proudly declaring, "Henry, I want you to know that I was the one that corrected you."Determined to continue playing "producer" for the media, Ruby spends his post-midnight hours acting as a self-appointed press liaison in the corridors of police headquarters. After running into competing KBOX radio reporters Jerry Gunkle (alt. spelling Gunkel)  and Sam Pease, Jack manages to secure the unlisted, highly restricted newsroom hotline for KLIF radio. Slipping behind the records counter, Jack dials the station to offer a box of sandwiches, and upon seeing Henry Wade walk past the counter, he physically pulls the District Attorney to the phone. By handing KLIF the live, exclusive telephone scoop of the night, Jack earns an ecstatic invitation from the newsroom, with the overnight staff promising to leave the locked back door open for exactly five minutes so he can bring the food up.But Jack's desperate, pathological need to secure favor and be helpful ultimately sabotages his strict five-minute entry window. On his way out of the building, he runs into KLIF disc jockey Russ Knight—known to his listeners as "the Weird Beard"—who is searching for the press action. Forgetting the clock, Jack insists on escorting the DJ back downstairs to introduce him to Henry Wade for another taped interview. By the time Jack drives his white Oldsmobile a single block to the KLIF studios, his entrance window has expired and the doors are locked tight. In this episode, we follow the self-appointed king of the Dallas strip as he is forced to wait outside on the chilly pavement for fifteen minutes, clutching a heavy box of pastrami sandwiches and soda pop, setting the stage for a mysterious 2:30 a.m. parking lot meeting that would alter the course of the entire weekend.

Step into the heavy, suffocating silence that fell over Dallas on the evening of Friday, November 22, 1963. Inside the local police headquarters at City Hall, a chaotic media gauntlet was rapidly taking shape on the third floor, as over three hundred out-of-town journalists, photographers, and television crews shoved shoulder-to-shoulder in the smoke-filled corridors. In this episode, we follow the frantic, hour-by-hour movements of Jack Ruby during this critical three-hour window, examining how a local strip club owner managed to bypass strict security checkpoints, navigate police barricades, and position himself directly at the center of the crime scene of the century.We dissect the stark and troubling contradictions between the two competing timelines of Ruby's Friday night. On one hand is the "clean," emotionally tidy alibi constructed by Jack and his sister Eva for the Warren Commission—depicting a man paralyzed by grief, sobbing hysterically over deli meat at his sister's apartment before seeking spiritual solace in the pews of Temple Shearith Israel at ten o'clock. On the other hand lies the unvarnished, sworn statement of Dallas Homicide Detective R.A. Robertson, who spotted Jack on the third floor of police headquarters hours earlier, actively attempting to open the locked door to the very office where Lee Harvey Oswald was being interrogated.Following the conclusion of temple services, the somber mourner immediately transformed back into a frantic, hyperactive nightclub operator. We trace Jack as he roams the dark streets of Dallas in his white Oldsmobile, growing angry at competing clubs that refused to close out of respect for the fallen president. We follow him into Phil's Delicatessen on Oak Lawn Avenue, where he ordered a massive, late-night shipment of ten premium corned beef sandwiches, black cherry sodas, and celery tonics, pacing the floor and using a payphone to contact the police department. Despite Detective Richard M. Sims flatly rejecting the food delivery because the homicide division was shutting down for the night, Jack refused to go home.Driven by an obsessive urge to be useful, Jack headed straight for City Hall with his box of sandwiches, claiming to guards that he was searching for a radio reporter to secure an unlisted phone number. Slipping onto the third floor, he began handing out Carousel Club business cards to exhausted national reporters, acting as a self-appointed liaison for the press. We close on a chilling, suspenseful cliffhanger as a whisper sweeps through the crowded hallway, and Jack joins the media throng heading down to the basement assembly room for the midnight press showing—standing inches away from Lee Harvey Oswald while carrying a loaded .38 Colt Cobra revolver in his front trouser pocket.

Want help uncovering the real reasons behind your urges and build a plan to overcome your pornography use? Click here to book a free call with Sam to get help to overcome pornography – https://stopporn.info/    Have questions you want me to address on future podcast episodes? Email me here:  sam@healingcouples.org   Episode show notes: If you've been trying to quit porn for months or even years, you've probably experienced the same frustrating cycle: a few weeks of success, followed by another porn relapse that seems to come out of nowhere. The good news is that relapses almost never happen randomly. In this episode, I explain one of the most important principles in porn addiction recovery: every setback has a cause, and once you identify that cause, you can choose the right tool to stop the cycle from repeating. Instead of wondering why you keep returning to pornography, you'll learn how to identify the hidden patterns driving your porn addiction and create a recovery plan that actually addresses the root problem. We'll discuss why pornography addiction isn't solved by using the same strategy every time an urge appears. Sometimes the real issue is stress. Sometimes it's burnout, emotional overwhelm, loneliness, habits, or unresolved pressure. Lasting freedom from porn comes from learning how to diagnose the problem correctly instead of relying on willpower or generic recovery advice. You'll also learn a simple daily self-check process that helps you catch emotional pressure before it grows into another porn relapse. Rather than waiting until you're overwhelmed, you'll discover how to identify the early warning signs, understand what they're telling you, and take action before pornography becomes appealing again. If you're a wife listening, this episode will also help you understand what genuine porn addiction recovery looks like. You'll learn why identifying patterns, creating better systems, and consistently addressing root causes are some of the strongest signs that lasting change is taking place—and why that process is essential for rebuilding trust after pornography addiction. Whether you're trying to quit porn, overcome pornography addiction, break the relapse cycle, rebuild your marriage after porn addiction, or finally experience lasting porn addiction recovery, this episode will give you a practical framework for understanding why setbacks happen—and how to stop repeating them. In This Episode: Why porn relapses don't happen randomly How to identify the root cause of porn addiction Breaking the cycle of pornography addiction Daily habits that strengthen porn addiction recovery Recognizing emotional triggers before relapse How burnout, stress, and overwhelm fuel pornography use Building systems that support lasting freedom from porn Rebuilding trust after porn addiction Why the right tool depends on the real problem Creating long-term recovery instead of temporary success

   Always the eternal optimist, the official position at KKHI has been the that the midterms are in play for Republicans.  But your humble host is going to need a booster shot to keep believing.   Republicans don't seem interested in turning out as the war in Iran drags the party down.    In Alaska, the dems are so good at elections they found a guy named Dan Sullivan to run against Senator Dan Sullivan in the primary in a ranked choice election.  This is NOT a joke.    A 13 year old boy on a scooter is hit by a car near at a Leawood school Monday... it may be time to rethink these motorized menaces.    Independence is putting in a 6:00pm curfew for SantaCaliGon Days for anyone under 18.   KCMO has released their funding proposal for the $600 million they are giving the Royals for a new ball park.    On the field, Jac Caglianone is going crazy for the Royals right now.  Chiefs number one draft pick Mansoor Delane hits the field for full contact for the first time.  The Dallas Cowboys are the most valuable team in the NFL as the new list is out.  The Chiefs rank will surprise you.    And our Final Final is a man arrested at a Tokyo airport for what he had hidden inside 22 pairs of socks in his suitcase.  And it wasn't drugs or jewelry or cash.

Matt Beck taught himself guitar strung upside down and backwards and has never once found a reason to stop. He joins you this week from the pit of The Outsiders, where he’s played since opening night three years ago, and from a July that had him running Jon Anderson, the B-52’s, and Matchbox Twenty in the same month: seventies, eighties, and nineties, back to back to back. You’ll hear why a guitar player who can actually read on a staff gets calls other players never see, how orchestrators bury Easter eggs in a score, what it does to a band when the pit is closed and the audience only sees you on camera at the curtain call, and why the plight of the freelancer always comes down to the same thing: your calendar, and what you said yes to eight months ago. Then it’s the road stories. Matt traces twenty-three years with Matchbox Twenty back to a Lisa Loeb tour with Dweezil Zappa standing next to him, and the Zappa family connection that put his name in the right room. He talks about building parts alongside Bono and The Edge for the Spider-Man musical, writing live arrangements for Rod Stewart, and finally getting Sugarjar out the door with Richard Hammond and Sammy Merendino. You’ll also get a Matchbox soundcheck shut down by something nesting in the rafters, three cups of hotel cocoa and a green tartan suit that taught Matt everything he needed to know about a pre-show routine, and the discipline underneath all of it: on Band Geeks off-days, he ran the entire Jon Anderson show every single morning. Always be performing and, as Matt adds on his way out, always be practicing. 00:00:00 Gig Gab 547 – Monday, August 17th, 2026 August 17th: Black Cat Appreciation Day Guest co-host: Matt Beck 00:03:48 Musicals trying to make it on to Broadway 00:04:50 Theater work in NYC Playing, orchestrating “Play like Steve Gadd” “Play like Steve Vai” “A la Larry Campbell” 00:09:45 Acknowledging the band 00:11:56 Reading guitar on staff music 00:14:36 Knowing your castmates 00:15:59 Managing the schedules of multiple projects Going from Jon Anderson to B-52’s to Matchbox Twenty…in a month! 00:22:07 Logistics of travel on gig day 00:24:37 Matchbox Twenty…23 years!

Every one of us carries innate spiritual gifts - intuition, healing abilities, multidimensional awareness, the capacity to sense what lies beyond the veil. But too often, without realizing it, we get in our own way and engage in habits or patterns that block the full expression of these gifts.  In this episode of INNER WORK, we explore five common (and often unconscious) habits that delay spiritual awakening and keep you from fully activating and living from your gifts... plus how to recognize each one with compassion, not judgment. This is a deep, honest look at the inner and outer obstacles that we often run into as humans on the spiritual path. There's no toxic shame or self-blaming here, just an open invitation to expand your awareness of these old patterns, release what doesn't serve, and reclaim your full, authentic power.  In this episode, we cover: Impatience & self-doubt — how fear-based doubt about your gifts (and your healing journey) can quietly sabotage your progress, and why meeting self-doubt with clarity — rather than believing it — is essential Slipping into unconsciousness or ego mind — the old coping mechanisms (overworking, people-pleasing, numbing out) that pull you out of presence, and how ego convinces you that you or your gifts "aren't enough" Spiritual bypassing — using spiritual tools, places, or practices to escape reality rather than integrating it, and why true growth requires grounding your spirituality in everyday human life Outgrowing or mismatching your support systems — how to discern when therapists, healers, or other guides are (or aren't) equipped to support you through a genuine spiritual awakening Energetic discernment — why being selective about who and what you allow into your inner circle and energy field directly impacts your ability to stay aligned and let your gifts flow Whether you're just beginning to awaken to your gifts or you're deepening your existing spiritual connection, this episode offers grounded, compassionate guidance for recognizing what's been holding you back... and reclaiming your full spiritual expression.

We spend our 20s and 30s building our lives, and we hit 40 expecting to feel different, better, and more confident. And to some extent, we do. But there is also a list of things coming against us physical, professional, and personal that stop us from feeling our best.

Hour 4 features a mix of Marlins, Heat, and Dolphins talk as Joe Rose and the crew break down Miami's eight-game losing streak and the rare triple play the Marlins turned the night before.

Poor Posture: Are You Slipping a Disc at Your Desk? takes a close look at one of the most overlooked health problems of modern life. Millions of us spend hour after hour sitting at a desk, staring at a screen, barely moving except to reach for another cup of tea. It feels perfectly normal. The trouble is, our bodies were never designed for it.In this episode of Mark & Pete, we explore the surprising science behind posture, back pain, neck strain and the hidden health risks of prolonged sitting. We uncover why experts recommend getting up every 30 to 60 minutes, how a few simple adjustments to your desk can make a remarkable difference, and why tiny habits repeated throughout the day often matter more than expensive office gadgets.Along the way you'll hear practical tips for improving posture, reducing stiffness, protecting your spine and boosting your energy levels. We look at monitor height, chair position, standing breaks, stretching, walking, hydration and even why looking out of a window from time to time might be doing your brain a favour. It all sounds wonderfully obvious once someone points it out. Which perhaps tells us something.As always, we wander a little further than the headlines. Scripture reminds us that our bodies are gifts from God, entrusted to us rather than simply owned by us. Looking after them isn't vanity. It's good stewardship. There is something quietly spiritual about caring for the body that carries you through your calling each day, whether that's behind a desk, on your feet or somewhere in between.Expect plenty of fascinating facts, surprising statistics, gentle humour and practical advice you can put into practice before the episode has even finished. If you work from home, commute to an office or simply spend too much time glued to a screen, this conversation is for you.Your inbox can wait another two minutes. Your spine, rather inconveniently, has been waiting rather longer.

It's an oil rush. Fill your boots, fellers, America is releasing its strategic petroleum reserves, ostensibly to see down Iranian pressure. Good news for voters, great news for foreign countries who want to sponge of the US teat. But in its ducking and diving haste, has the Trump administration inadvertently drunk its own milkshake? Then in the second half of a two-parter, we're digging into the brewing Ukranian-Polish conflict. At the earliest days of the Ukraine War, around 2014, their Parliament passed a series of laws which granted official veteran status to a couple of Second World War military groups who had, shall we say, colourful pasts. Recently, the Polish President withdrew the Polish White Eagle decoration from President Zelenskyy after Ukraine named an elite special unit after one such. Hundreds of hatchets were buried after Communism, but now, despite the shock of the war, old animosities are bubbling to the surface. And with them, the facade of a united Europe begins to crack.

Here is a detailed breakdown of the July 5, 2026, worship service and Pastor Rhonda Davis's message, organized with clear section headers, bulleted highlights, and a complete Scripture Index. Service Overview & Pre-Sermon Highlights Location: Church of the Harvest (TL Lowry Center) Special Occasion: Independence Day Weekend & America's 250th Anniversary Celebration I. Praise, Worship & Altar Ministry Opening Prayer: The service opened with a focus on celebrating both national freedom and the ultimate freedom found in Christ, inviting the Holy Spirit to fill the room. Miracle & Prayer Focus: Believers were invited to join their faith with the prayer teams at the altars to see God work miracles, declaring that every need must bow to the name of Jesus. Underground Church Reflection: Preachers reminded the congregation of the immense privilege of public worship, noting that members of underground churches globally meet in secret and worship with unprompted passion despite the threat of death. II. Sovereign Moves: Recent Testimonies Pastor Rhonda invited members to share their recent experiences from the unique altar ministry lines held the previous week: Tina Toles: Shared that despite initial fear and hesitation to step into the prayer line, she experienced an overwhelming, unprecedented power of the Holy Spirit that left her with a deep, lasting peace throughout her work week at Chick-fil-A. KK (Mrs. Smith): Expressed that after a period of being away from church and feeling like she was simply "floating" through life, stepping into the line brought an immediate sense of peace. Pastor Rhonda ministered to her, saying, "God said, I am yours," validating a real, physical encounter with the Holy Spirit. III. Harvest Announcements Wednesday Night Series: Summer in the Psalms continues this Wednesday at 7:00 PM at the TL Lowry Center, featuring Pastor Joe Robinson teaching from Psalm 139. Next Sunday Guest Speaker: Welcoming back Lori Wilke, an anointed speaker, singer, and author with a deep prophetic teaching edge. Community Outreach Impact: Pastor Rhonda thanked the church for its continued financial stewardship, highlighting recent works funded by tithes and offerings: reaching the homeless, jail/prison ministries, assisting single mothers, and completely covering the rent for a local family in dire straits. Special Presentation: 250th Celebrate Freedom Tribute Led by Army Veteran Michael Cook (who served 10 years stateside), the service paused to honor first responders and military veterans present in the congregation: Veteran / First Responder Branch / Conflict Bob Rumbaugh U.S. Army (Gulf War) & Naval Reserve (3 Years) Ralph Steven Beavers U.S. Army Zachary Wages U.S. Army Kit Carson Local Firefighter / First Responder Dale Perkins U.S. Air Force Michelle Hill U.S. Navy James Henry U.S. Army (Staff Sergeant) Liliana Henry U.S. Army (Private First Class) Presentation of the Colors: The United States flag was formally presented by Tina Toles, a retired Master Sergeant who served 21.5 years in the U.S. Air Force Air Combat Command, with deployments to Japan, Turkey, Germany, and Italy. Tribute Video: A special media presentation featuring interviews with church children and reflections on "American Grit," the founding fathers, and the constitutional right to pursue happiness was highlighted and credited to Austin and the media team. Sermon Outline: "Freedom Worth Celebrating" Preacher: Pastor Rhonda Davis I. Point 1: Land of the Free, Home of the Redeemed The Odds of Grace: Statistically, based on global birth rates, an individual has only a 2% to 3% chance of being born in the United States. A Beacon of Light: Over its 250-year history, America has outlasted its accusers, remaining a democracy through civil war, internal discourse, and external enemies. The nation historically leads the world in sending Christian missionaries to foreign sands and outspends the next three runner-up nations combined in global disaster relief. The Call to Stand: Reading from Galatians 5:1, the church is reminded that Christ sets us free for the purpose of living in actual freedom. Believers must actively choose never to be entangled again by a yoke of spiritual slavery. II. Point 2: Freedom Has a Price The Winter of 1777 (Valley Forge): To understand the value of freedom, Pastor Rhonda recalled General George Washington leading 12,000 under-resourced men into Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, after devastating defeats. 2,000 soldiers died from cold, starvation, and disease. Out of sheer desperation, men boiled their shoe leather for sustenance and left trails of blood in the snow from bare, frostbitten feet—yet they refused to surrender because they believed freedom outweighed personal comfort. The Cost of Spiritual Liberty (Calvary): Moving from Valley Forge to the hill of Calvary, Jesus Christ endured the ultimate price for human liberty. As prophesied in Isaiah 52:14, He was beaten beyond human recognition. Though He possessed the immediate power to call down 10000 angels (Matthew 26), He chose to stay on the cross because He determined our freedom was worth the price. III. Point 3: Two Freedoms, One Source Inherent Human Dignity: True liberty—both the civil freedom to vote and live without government interference, and spiritual freedom—stems from a singular source: God Himself. Because God is free by nature, and because humans are uniquely made in His image (Genesis 1:27), every individual possesses inherent, sacred dignity. The Living Room Jail Cell: Quoting Galatians 5:1 from The Message, Pastor Rhonda warned against trying to add legalism to grace. Living a restricted, legalistic life after being saved is equivalent to being liberated from a maximum-security prison only to build a voluntary jail cell right inside your own living room. IV. Point 4: Don't Go Back to Chains Guarding Against Apathy: History shows nations are rarely conquered by sudden external conquest; instead, they fall through internal apathy and gradually forgetting what it cost to obtain their liberty. Pastor Rhonda recalled a WallBuilders podcast interview by historian David Barton featuring a Washington State pastor who had to sue the government in 2020 because secular establishments were permitted to stay open while churches faced criminal misdemeanors for outdoor worship and singing. Identifying Modern Chains: The enemy constantly attempts to lure believers back into old bondages. These chains manifest as: Rehearsing past failures on a continuous mental playlist. Slipping back into toxic, generational family mindsets. Trapping oneself in people-pleasing loops and performance mentalities. Prophetic Deliverance: Pastor Rhonda shared a personal moment from her youth when minister Billy Burke gave her a word detailing a "ball and chain" around her ankle representing the conditional expectations of others. Breaking that chain requires standing firm—derived from the Greek word stekete, meaning to stubbornly hold your ground, defend your position, and completely refuse to be moved. V. Point 5: How to Steward and Stand Firm in Liberty Know What You Have: You cannot properly steward what you do not understand. Taking inventory of spiritual rights reveals that there is zero condemnation for those in Christ (Romans 8:1), sin is no longer your master (Romans 6:14), and the same Holy Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives inside you (Romans 8:11). Pastor Rhonda referenced a 2022 table talk discussion with Lance Wallnau and Cindy Murdock, recalling Wallnau's story of Donald Trump in 2015 challenging silent ministers to defend their biblical rights, which later resulted in the executive repeal of the restrictive Johnson Amendment. Use Freedom for Something Greater: Freedom is never the final destination; it is simply the vehicle. According to Galatians 5:13, liberty must never be used to satisfy selfish, sinful natures, but rather to serve one another in love. The sacrifices of past generations are dignified when we use our voices to speak truth with grace and act as the hands and feet of Jesus to help the homeless, the prisoner, and the vulnerable. Let the Holy Spirit Lead: Believers must maintain an open mind to how God wants to uniquely deploy their skills, influence, and talents across different seasons of life. It does not require unusual human ability to shift the world—only a caring heart, a determined mind, and a willing spirit. VI. Conclusion: Intercession for the Land The Command to Pray: Aligning with 1 Timothy 2:1-2, the church corporate is called to make supplications, prayers, and intercessions for all people, explicitly including kings and all secular authorities, so that believers may lead quiet, peaceful, and godly lives. A Promise of Healing: God is not finished with America. Relying on Lamentations 3:23 (His mercies are new every morning) and the covenant promise of 2 Chronicles 7:14, the church closed by corporate prayer, repenting of negative mindsets, asking for systemic healing from the White House to the communities, and calling a wayward generation back into their divine identity.

Episode OverviewIn this Casting Angles episode of The Articulate Fly, Master Casting Instructor Mac Brown of Mac Brown Fly Fish joins host Marvin Cash for a focused deep-dive into the reach mend — one of fly fishing's most foundational presentation tools, and one Mac argues has been quietly undervalued since Doug Swisher introduced it to American fly fishing in 1971. The conversation serves as both a how-to for beginners and a useful recalibration for intermediate anglers who have been fishing without it.Mac traces the technique to Swisher's landmark book Selective Trout, which he first read at age eight from his grandfather's copy and considers among the most significant contributions to the sport in the last hundred years. He breaks the reach mend down from first principles, distinguishing it clearly from the more complex reach cast: after the casting stroke is complete and the line is still in the air, the angler simply reaches the rod tip to the side, positioning the fly line upstream or downstream of the fly — a movement accessible to complete beginners that can transform a fleeting drift into a long, uninterrupted float with the fly line entirely out of the fish's window.Mac covers the reach mend across multiple real-world scenarios: cross-current presentations through mixed seams, straight upstream casts where the line would otherwise land across holding fish, and long downstream drifts on technical tailwaters. The episode also covers slipping line during a reach mend to extend presentation distance, and the drag-and-drop technique — casting well upstream and beyond a riser, lifting the rod tip to position the fly laterally, then tracking the rod downstream to drop the fly cleanly into the feeding lane. Marvin adds an important tactical counterpoint: a downstream mend can also be used to intentionally accelerate a streamer across a seam to trigger a reaction strike.Key TakeawaysHow a post-cast reach mend positions your fly line upstream and away from rising trout, turning a brief drift into a long, drag-free float that beginners can execute immediately after learning the conceptWhy the reach mend is fundamentally different from the reach cast — and why mastering the mend first removes the biggest barrier to consistent presentation for anglers at any levelWhen to slip line during a reach mend to extend presentation distance, without sacrificing accuracy or drag controlHow to execute the drag-and-drop technique — casting upstream and beyond a riser, lifting into position, then tracking the rod downstream — to drop a fly into a feeding lane without lining the fish or precision accuracyWhy a downstream mend can intentionally induce drag to accelerate a streamer across a current seam when you want to trigger a reaction strike rather than a drag-free driftTechniques & Gear CoveredThe episode is devoted entirely to the reach mend and its related techniques, with Mac Brown providing a conceptual framework grounded in Swisher's Selective Trout and decades of guide school instruction. The core technique is the post-cast reach mend: after stopping the cast, and while the line is still unrolling, the angler reaches the rod tip to the upstream side to buy a drag-free window of time before the current grabs the fly line. This applies across presentation types — cross-stream casts through mixed currents, straight upstream casts where the line would otherwise fall on the fish, and long downstream presentations where only the fly should appear in the fish's window. Mac also covers the drag-and-drop approach, in which the angler lifts the fly line into position from an upstream-and-beyond cast, then tracks the rod downstream to lower the fly softly into the target lane without a direct presentation over the fish. Slipping line during the mend is discussed as a tool to extend reach. Marvin adds that the downstream mend inverts this logic for streamer fishing, using intentional drag to accelerate the fly across seams and trigger reaction strikes.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredWhat is a reach mend and how does it differ from a reach cast?A reach mend is a post-cast rod movement: after the casting stroke stops and the line is still unrolling in the air, the angler reaches the rod tip to the side — upstream or downstream — to position the fly line away from the target zone. The result is that only the fly (and not the line) enters the fish's window. In the case of an upstream reach mend, this technique also buys several seconds of drag-free drift before current tension catches up. A reach cast, by contrast, incorporates that lateral rod movement during the casting stroke itself, making it significantly more complex. Mac recommends learning the reach mend first because anyone — including complete beginners — can execute it immediately, and it delivers most of the same drag-control benefits.How do you execute a reach mend when fishing across mixed currents?In a cross-stream scenario with fast water between you and a slower holding lie, reach the rod tip upstream immediately after the cast stops — before the faster current grabs the fly line and creates drag. This buys enough time for the fly to drift naturally through the slow water without the line bellying downstream and pulling the fly across current.What is the drag-and-drop technique and when does it help for rising trout?The drag-and-drop lets you place a fly in a precise feeding lane without casting directly over the fish or precisely on target. You cast upstream and beyond the target, lift the fly line into lateral position, then track the rod downstream to lower the fly smoothly into the lane — all without the line or fly landing on top of the fish. This is especially useful during Sulphur and BWO hatches on tailwaters like the Watauga and South Holston, where fish are locked into tight feeding lanes and a fly dropped directly on the snout or with line overhead typically produces refusals or spooks. Mac notes that even a beginner can execute this with basic skills, and that you don't need the precision of an elite competition caster to make this technique work consistently.How does slipping line change the outcome of a reach mend?When you pinch the line during a reach mend, the fly lands closer than the initial cast would have carried it. When you slip line — releasing extra line during the mend — the fly travels further from you, extending presentation distance. Mac describes slipping line as the right tool when the holding lie or rising fish is farther out, allowing you to cover more water with the same mend without sacrificing drift quality.When should you mend downstream to induce drag rather than upstream to prevent it?A downstream mend is the right choice when you want to accelerate the fly, not slow it. Marvin notes that when fishing streamers across a current seam — particularly when you want the fly to zip past a rock, undercut bank, or holding spot — mending downstream puts intentional drag on the line, pulling the fly faster across the seam and triggering a reaction strike. This is the same basic principle as the upstream mend, just applied in reverse: instead of buying drift time, you're borrowing speed from the current.Related ContentS7, Ep 60 - Mastering the Drift: Technical Trout Tactics for Summer Success with Mac BrownS6, Ep 93 - Terrestrials, Drift and Teaching the Next Generation with Mac BrownS7, Ep 20 - Practice Makes Perfect: Mac Brown on Mastering Casting TechniquesS7, Ep 16 - Simplifying Complexity: Effective Teaching Strategies in Fly Fishing with Mac BrownS8, Ep 21 - Casting into Spring: Mac Brown Discusses Wild Trout Fishing and Upcoming ClassesConnect with Our GuestFollow Mac on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.Follow the ShowFollow The Articulate Fly on Facebook, Instagram, Threads and YouTube.Follow our

“God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.” (Matthew 5:10 NLT) The great preacher John Wesley was riding his horse one day when he realized that three days had passed since he’d been persecuted in any way. In that time, not a single brick had been thrown in his direction. He’d not been hit by even a single egg. He stopped his horse and said out loud, “Could it be that I am backslidden or I have sinned?” Slipping down from his mount, he knelt on one knee and asked the Lord to show him if there was anything wrong with him spiritually. A man who disliked Wesley happened by and saw him kneeling in prayer. The man picked up a brick and threw it at him, barely missing the preacher. When Wesley saw the brick fly by, he said, “Thank you, Lord! I know I still have Your presence.” Is it any wonder that Wesley was such a powerful preacher? The takeaway from this story isn’t that we should pray for bricks to be thrown our way. The takeaway is that opposition and persecution are often signs that we’re doing something right, spiritually speaking. There’s no reason for our spiritual enemy to attack ineffective believers. But believers who have the potential to make a difference for God’s kingdom scare him. So, he hauls out the big gun of persecution to try to silence them. If you’re a follower of Christ, your very presence will bother some people. You don’t even have to say anything to arouse their opposition. Your presence is like a bright light shining in a dark place. And for some people, that’s not necessarily a good thing. Jesus said, “God’s light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil” (John 3:19 NLT). The persecution we experience because of our beliefs aligns us with the One in whom we believe. Jesus said, “If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you” (John 15:18–19 NLT). To be treated in the same way that Jesus was treated is an honor and a blessing. In His Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said, “God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs” (Matthew 5:10 NLT). Sometimes persecution shows itself as a brick coming our way—that is, as some kind of physical harm, or perhaps even death. Other times, it shows itself in the form of mockery or rejection and causes us to lose friends or perhaps even a job. Whatever form it takes, the reality is this: If you’re living a godly life, then you will face persecution. If you endure and thrive in the face of that persecution, you’ll forge a powerful testimony that impacts people more than words ever could. Reflection question: What would enduring and thriving in the face of persecution look like in your life?
