Podcasts about something true

Joe Biden, after his son's conviction on gun charges, decides to go on a rant on gun control and everything he's said has already been debunked the first ten times he's said it. There is some real news happening out there concerning threats from sources other than Trump. And there is a new fear that the Leftist narcissists are concocting if Trump get re-elected.

Marcus Eaton Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson Live from Florence Italy, singer/songwriter, easy on the eyes and ears, Marcus Eaton, treated us to a mini concert and great conversation. When David Crosby describes you as, "one of the best young singer-songwriters in America - maybe even the world, brilliant musically, brilliant lyrically, and he just plays guitar like God on a good day,” then invites you to tour, record, and co-write with him, and plays on your album… well, it doesn't get much better than that. And yet, it does. Add to that composing the soundtrack of David Crosby: Remember My Name, and, opening for Bob Dylan, and Dave Matthews, to name two, his own, Versions of The Truth (https://www.marcuseaton.com/music), which Crosby joined him on for some, Invisible Lines, and his new album tentatively titled 'What Is Real' set for release this year. Marcus started us off with my request of his Better Way, reminiscent of Sting, but oh, so Marcus. We talked about his first trip to Italy, accompanying Roy Mcalister, a renowned luthier, who connected Marcus with his protege, Allessio Guarnieriri, who along with Marcus' ideas and suggestions created his signature guitar, a masterpiece, the Guarnieri ME. On it, Marcus treated us to his brand new, Something True, Obvious, some crazy in the best way, slap playing, a bow rendition of The Last of the Mohicans, which went viral on TikTok and closed with a smoldering cover of Sting's Fragile. There were great stories about growing up in Idaho surrounded by a musically gifted family, getting signed, hitting the road, hungry, literally, a near-miss opportunity in late March 2020 to open for huge heroes, derailed by the pandemic, and finding his soul and his feet in Italy, the land of his heritage, surprising at first glance. Marcus is an original, one-of-a-kind, take my breath away athletic guitarist, with an evocative voice, and provocative songs––he's handsome as heck, a gifted fine artist, and well, the whole package is pretty spectacular. I encourage you to Spotify the hell outta him. I call him "Football." If I had to guess his occupation, well… I've not seen too many singer/songwriters who look quite like this, nor have I heard any who sound like this. Marcus is as easy on the ears, mind, heart & soul as he is on the eyes. SCORE!

The post Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something True appeared first on Gospel Revolution Church.

Welcome to our new series, 'GENESIS: End From The Beginning'. Over the next 2 months we are going to go on an exegetical journey through the book of Genesis Pastor Joshua Pellowe sets up this series with a message on, 'Something Profound, Something True, Something Simple' #Genesis #EndFromTheBeginning

On COI #278, Kyle Anzalone and Connor Freeman cover former President George W. Bush's viral confession- by-gaffe to war crimes in Iraq, President Joe Biden's resistance to Kiev's demands for long range rocket launchers, U.S./Israeli war drills aimed at Tehran, and the latest news on the Iran nuclear deal. Kyle and Connor watch and discuss Bush's Freudian slip rapidly making the rounds where he is giving a speech denouncing an illegal, brutal, unprovoked war in Iraq when he meant to say Ukraine. Bush was trying to paint Russian President Vladimir Putin as the ultimate mass murderer, Hitler du jour, but subconsciously realized he could just as easily be reading his own criminal charges. Bush writes this off as him just losing it in his old age. However, it is a blatant example of the fetish for projection fashionable in Washington these days, particularly among those like Bush himself who is forever covered in the blood of a million dead Iraqis. Kyle breaks down Biden's apparent reluctance to send Ukraine the long range rocket launchers they have requested, namely the M270 Multiple Launch Rocket Systems. These weapons would enable Kiev to launch strikes deeper beyond Russia's borders, attacks on Russia have become an increasingly more common occurrence and threaten to uncontrollably escalate and expand the conflict. Connor talks about a series of ongoing Israeli military exercises called Chariots of Fire. The exercises largely eye an attack on Iran and also include preparation for contingencies of a wider regional war with the Resistance Axis. U.S. Air Force refueling aircraft will soon be joining Israeli fighter jets over the Mediterranean Sea to simulate a wide scale assault on Iran. The simulation will practice how to enter Iranian territory and conduct repeated airstrikes. This comes as Israel just recently bombed Syria, killing as many as five people. Defense Minister Benny Gantz claimed they were targeting advanced Iranian military assets. This latest strike is also notable because it is the first time the Russians fired back at Israeli warplanes using the S-300 air defense systems they have provided Damascus. The new development will likely change the Israeli strategy in Syria, given that, for many years, they have taken for granted that they can bomb the country on a weekly basis virtually without consequences. Connor continues the Iran news by detailing a series of talks with the European Union's nuclear negotiator in Tehran. The EU has reportedly made enough progress, breaking the two months long deadlock, and relaunched indirect talks between the U.S. and Iran. Though no date for new Vienna talks has been set yet, Josep Borrell, the EU Foreign Policy Chief, says a deal is now within reach. The Iranians and the Americans have put the onus on each other to do what needs to be done politically to move things forward. Though Tehran says they now await U.S. responses to new proposals they put forward presumably during last week's talks with Mora.

Sometimes you randomly mention the name of a comedy movie in one Audio Fiction series and then two years later, you release an entire series based upon that fake comedy movie. Anyway, I wrote a satirical dark comedy called, "Two Flat Earthers Kidnap a Freemason" and I've love for you all to check it out.  It's especially important to me for fans of The Subjective Truth to listen to "Two Flat Earthers Kidnap a Freemason" because in many ways it serves as a defacto Season Two of The Subjective Truth. It's very much a comedy movie set within the TST universe.  Don't worry, I'll have a real Season Two of The Subjective Truth (complete with all the answers to what happened to Buddha Kline) ready for you before too long. But for now, I'd love for you to meet Randy Dunning and Gayle Kruger.  If you enjoy the pilot episode, be sure to subscribe to "Two Flat Earthers Kidnap a Freemason" on its main feed.

Slideshow for this message is available  John 15-16 Introduction So remember we are in John 15 which begins what is traditionally called the Olivet Discourse. You want to know why it's called that? Remember how John 14 ended. Jesus said, “Arise, let us go from here.” Where were they arising from?They were in the upper room partaking in the Passover meal.Judas had already gone to betray him. And they arose and went into the garden of Gethsemane. The garden of Gethsemane was located near the Mount of Olives.And so on the way to Mount Olivet, Jesus spoke to them these words. Hence the Olivet Discourse. Now do you remember the very specific point to this discourse? Jesus has warned them that he is going to go away. He is going to depart.He will no longer be with them. And of course that is creating all sorts of anxiety and fear in his disciples who were anticipating a coronation ceremony following the triumphal entry. And Jesus is providing them resources that will stabilize them in the coming storm. First he said, “I go to prepare a place for you.” In other words I'm leaving but I'm coming back. Second he said, “I am leaving you a helper. The Holy Spirit will come who will point a spotlight back on all that I said and did.” Third from last week, “That Spirit will empower you. If you stay connected with me as the vine, all the fruits of the Spirit are available to you.There is real power available to you to help you in this coming storm.” All this was intended to help comfort them and provide spiritual resources as they adjust to the impending departure of Jesus. But they are going to need spiritual resources for something else: the impending persecution. Jesus introduces a concept here for the first time: I'm departing because people hate me and you are going to discover that people will also hate you. You can imagine a disciple asking the question, “Why would they hate us?” Jesus is going to answer that question in our passage today. Jesus says, “Let me give you four reasons why you will be hated.” Here's the first: What Jesus is saying is that you are collateral damage. You just happen to be in the line of fire.They weren't shooting at you. They were aiming at me and you happen to be in the way. Their hatred of you is a derived hatred. Jesus is describing the clashing of values. Value clashes always go both ways.The world doesn't value what we do and we don't value what the world does.It's both ways. And what is it that you accept? Well Christians accept the fact that Jesus is King. It's right there in the text. We accept that Jesus is the master. What happens when the world discovers that this is what you believe? They hate you. Now of course, from a logical point of view this is a crazy response. A Christian is simply living out of a belief that Jesus is the Master of All. That he is God. Like actually God.And so as God, he created the bizarre world of quantum physics.He created the awe inspiring world of molecular biology. Out of his being flows the trillions and trillions of petawatts of power that pulses through the universe. I mean, he's God. And so if that is true, well there are pretty significant implications that make sense for a Christian.Out of that basic premise, flows the very logical act of submission. By nature of who he is, I need to organize my life around the realities he creates. He gets to call the shots. He gets to make statements concerning what is good and evil. He gets to make absolute statements about meaning and design and purpose. And so if this all-powerful, all-knowing God says for example, husbands love your wives, wives submit to your husbands, pornography is sin, marriage is designed to be between a man and a woman rather than between a man and a man or a woman and a woman, don't love money… we do it. Who am I to contest that? The logical thing is to submit. It's not my opinion.It's not perhaps even the way I would want it.But given these realities. What does it matter what I want? If my premise is true, that Jesus is God then all my opinions must match his opinion. It's no different that submitting to a law of gravity.If I submit to gravity and kind of shy away from dangerous activities am I being hateful and unloving? Am I imposing on other people's freedom? How dare you suggest that people who jump off bridges are doing something they should not do? Who do you think you are? Do you think you are better than me? What makes you think your perspective is any better than mine? You are so narrow minded and intolerant. You are so incredibly bigoted. And of course you are feeling falsely accused. “Why are you upset at me? I just think that living dangerously around cliffs will end up hurting me.” I'm just submitting to a law that is greater than I. It's the same irrational response that erupts out of entitled shoppers who takes out their frustration at checkout lady, “What do you mean you close in 10 minutes? Do you even want my business?What do you mean you don't accept returns after 90 days?You are a crook.” The checkout dude doesn't set the store hours. The store clerk doesn't set the return policy. He literally has ZERO decision making influence. And yet the poor 19 year old kid has to absorb all the wrath as if he PERSONALLY made that rule. That's exactly what happens to us who identify with Jesus. Why are you blaming me? If you haven't noticed these ideas kind of come in a package that has been around for several thousand years. It's not like I personally came up with the idea of gender, sex, and marriage.It's not like I was in the back room thinking up a new religion and invented a place called heaven and hell. I had nothing to do with these ideas.I'm just the clerk. I make $8.25/hr. Do you want to talk to the manager? You see, we are guilty through association. Jesus says, “All these things they will do on account of my name.” You will bring trouble upon yourself by following King Jesus. So they will hate you for what you accept. There's a second half of this. They will also hate you because you don't value what they value in the way they want you to. He says, “If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own.” But they can tell you don't value what they value so they hate you. When the social pressure expects participation but you withdraw, there is disdain. But don't worry, that is to be expected because, “You have been chosen out of this world.” Your home is elsewhere. This is a common theme in the NT. Remember in 1 Peter 2 Paul calls the believers he's addressing sojourners and exiles. 1 Peter 2 A sojourner, a stranger, an exile is someone who for some reason has been displaced from his homeland. He can't enjoy the land because everything he loves isn't there. I've spent some time in the Middle East, Ukraine, India, and China and in all these countries I've had experiences where I've been the only one at a table who spoke English. And everyone is laughing and having a great time and speaking things I don't understand. And I realize, I don't belong here. This isn't my home. This could never be my home. The music is different. I just can't understand the music. It doesn't sound pleasant to me. The food they eat is all so strange. My favorite meals are not there. They don't speak the right language. I can just barely get by. None of the jokes make sense to me. The way they dress is so strange. I just doesn't feel comfortable in their clothes. Why? Because I'm a foreigner. I'm a sojourner in a land that is not my home.And is this not exactly what it is like for a believer?We live in the world, but we don't value the same things as the world because this world is not our home. The palate of a Christian is entirely different. The music of heaven is different. The vocabulary and the language of heaven is different language. The joy and laughter of heaven is different. The clothing of heaven is different. And when the world looks at us not laughing at their jokes, not dressing provacatively like they do, not loving money and power the way they do, not indulging in substance like they do, not speaking crassly like they do, they say, “Oh you think you are better than us? You think somehow the way you do things is better than the way we do things? You don't belong here. Leave.” Why do they hate? They hate what you reject. Jesus tells us to reject the world, “Do not love the world or the things in the world.” That is uncomfortable to someone who loves the world. You see the problem? There's a line being drawn in the sand. Is Jesus King? Is Jesus Lord? If you say yes, there are implications.Because that means anyone not with Jesus is a member of the society of rebels, and this society of rebels has a really hard time tolerating those who are in joyful allegiance to the king of kings to whom all loyalty is due.Period. That's the problem. So they will hate you because of what you accept. And they will hate you because of what you reject. And what this should do for us is create in us a relief. There will always be places where our faith horribly clashes with the current set of moral standards. And we can take a deep breath because even though it feels like their hatred is directed toward us it really has nothing to do with us. That's a very liberating concept.If they don't like it, it's not personal. That's very comforting especially if you are people-pleasers by nature. Those who preach Jesus' gospel and live in progressive conformity to his own life and teaching will attract the same antagonism that he did. So they hate you because of me. And why do they hate me? Because of the law. I point to the law. The Law condemns the unrighteous and therefore can be very uncomfortable. And Jesus points to the Law. Let's see how he does that. In other words, Jesus forces them to reckon with the law. You see the human tendency is to see the law and say, “Yeah, that guy over there should obey this.” We tend to think we are pretty decent law keepers.Or we hear the law and we find reasons why it doesn't apply to us. We find excuses that justify our infractions. Have you ever checked out of the store and the clerk didn't scan an item or didn't charge you for something he should have? And what does your mind tend to do. “Well, that's their fault for not making sure to charge me. They are a huge company and I give them tons of business.” But that's breaking God's law. That's not loving your neighbor as yourself. That's not thinking of others as more important than yourself. That's dark thinking. Somehow we've rationalized it. Or how about this - I'm risking something a bit sensitive here. Please know, I'm not trying to aggravate a deep hurt. I know there are some in the room here who have committed adultery. If that's you, I want you to mentally raise your hand. Now keep in mind, Jesus says, “If you so much as look at a woman with lusting eyes you have committed adultery with her in your heart.” Okay, well if you are going to pull out that card, then I'll answer yes with an asterisk. No. He's not using hyperbole. That's literally the definition of adultery to God. You see by adding the asterisk we escape the law. But Jesus takes away the asterisk. In the presence of Jesus, we are condemned. We are exposed. You see Jesus was the light.If the lights in the house are off you can't be blamed for not cleaning the dirty floors.But as soon as the light comes on you have no excuse. He was the revealer of dirt. He was the exposer of excuses. The light scatters the roaches. Remember the lawyer that came to Jesus and said, “What must I do to have eternal life?” And Jesus, knowing the game he was playing, said, “Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not defraud, honor your father and mother.” And what was his response, “All these things I have kept from my birth.” He really thought that. He believe that. He had a way of reading the law that approved him. The law told him. Jesus showed him. “You claim to love God with all your heart. You don't love God. You love money. Give it all away. See? You never loved me.” Jesus was the very enfleshment of the law, the complete fulfillment of the law. You can avoid the confrontation of words on a page by simply not reading them or twisting them in your favor or both.But you can't avoid a person. By looking at Jesus you now see what loving your father and mother really looks like. You see Jesus showing what it really looks like to not give false testimony. You watch him go back into the store and pay for what was overlooked. You really understand what a life lived without hate really looks like. And so by comparing his true love with your pathetic love you realize that what you thought was love was no love at all. That's what Jesus means when he says in verse 22, “If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have been guilty of sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.” In Christ was perfection. Christ was the law fulfilled.It was lived out in the most beautiful and startling way.The perfect blend of truth and grace. Perfect love. And when we see it, just by being in the presence of it, it creates in us a sense of guilt. Just seeing it aggravates that internal voice of condemnation. For example, I find myself occasionally looking at somebody who is in far better shape then me. You look at them and they've got 7% body fat and the muscles are all toned and they can run a sub six minute mile without blinking. And just by being in the presence of that type of athlete, it condemns me. Their mere presence becomes a standard of comparison against which I fall short.It's a mirror into my own lack of discipline.And so of course, what comes out of my heart? I find a way to judge and condemn. “Oh, all you ever do is just spend time in the gym. I bet you use steroids. You probably waste all your money on supplements. You are so vain. You are so into yourself.” You see what I'm doing with those comments. I'm casting shade to avoid condemnation. I'm taking away the possibility of virtue. It's character defamation. If I can destroy the character of the witness, I can destroy the power of his testimony. But you know why they couldn't destroy Jesus' character? Because of the miracles. That's what he references in verse 24. “If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin, but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father.” It would be nice to say this guy is a lunatic. It would be nice to condemn him as a liar. But since he performed miracles?! The only option left is that he is Lord. And they hated him for it. They despised him for it. It's not logical. It's like blaming a mirror for reflecting light. How dare you show me who I am! How dare you suggest that a hair is out of place! How dare you reveal that my hair is a mess and make me feel bad about it. Jesus is a mirror and he's hated for it. That's why it says, “They hated me without cause.” And in quoting Psalm 69, which is a Messianic Psalm that anticipates the suffering of Messiah, they are condemned from their own book. So they hate you because of me. They hate me because of the law. What did Jesus say, “I am the way, the TRUTH and the life.” Some get a little confused as to why this section is dropped in here. But here's what this verse addresses. Someone might be thinking, “Well if Jesus goes away, won't the hatred of him go away with it? I mean if Jesus is not present then the object of their hatred will no longer be present to aggravate. Correct? Why will the hate continue if Jesus is the true object of their hate?” It's a good question. Here's the answer. What's at stake here is not a person, per se, but truth itself. And that truth will continue on in Jesus' disciples. Truth, by its nature, can't be destroyed. Try all you want, truth is like sword that is hard and sharp and it will slice anything that gets in its way. It's not up for debate. You can't negotiate with it. You can't manipulate it. For example, you can sneak a brownie so nobody knows. You can lie and tell everyone that it wasn't you and get away with it. But guess what?You ate the brownie and those calories are going to make their way onto your body.The truth is going to be read back to you on the scale. The truth is that brownie is gone. The mirror will reflect back the truth and you can't escape it. The proof is in the pudding. And in this case, the proof is not in the pudding. The proof is in the disciples.The truth now resides in them.You can take Christ from the disciples but you can't take Christ out of the disciples. The person of Jesus has so changed the disciples, His Spirit now resides in them, the reality of who he was has so infiltrated the very core of who they were, they now embody Christ. It's in the name itself. The name Christian means little Christs. That's why this section on the Holy Spirit is dropped in here. The Spirit of Truth will bear witness about me through you. You will become my mouthpieces.You will become my witnesses.The truth of who I am now actually resides in you through my Spirit. And because it's truth, it will continue to condemn all those who do not submit to it. Truth is always offensive to those who are unwilling to submit. Truth is the ultimate judge, isn't it. A witness in court stands before the jury and gives his testimony. A testimony is evidence. It's then the job of the jury to determine whether or not it's true.Does it makes sense.Does it add up? Is it coherent with the other evidence? But truth is above any jury. Truth just is. Truth comes from God himself. Truth is God. He is the way the truth and the life.It comes from beyond this world, from outside the space/time continuum. And because of that you have to give up your right to judge whether it is right or not. You are not the judge over truth. The truth becomes judge over you.Truth is the ultimate verdict.You have no choice but to submit to it. You have to heed. You can't question it. So why does the world hate Jesus? They hate you because of me. They hate me because of the law. They hate the law because of truth. And finally: You see all of this points to an intrinsic blindness. The ultimate problem here is spiritual blindness. They CANNOT SEE THE FATHER. They don't know him. They have no relationship with him. That's the problem beneath the problem.That's the rotten root.There's a severed optic nerve that connects the mind to the heart. If suddenly they COULD see the outline here would instantly be inverted. If they knew the father, if they could see the father, well they would love his truth.And if they loved the truth well then they of course would love the law because the law is truth. And if they loved the law which is truth, well then of course they would love Jesus since he is the fulfillment of the law which is truth. And if they loved Jesus, well then they would love all his followers as well. The problem is spiritual blindness, inability to see the Father. What is Jesus saying? Persecution is coming.You can't escape it because they are blind.They are swinging wildly, thrashing and jabbing with a sword. They are like wolverine whose trapped in a barrel. You'd love to free the poor guy but if you do, it will come thrashing out of the barrel thinking you are the enemy. It doesn't understand. It doesn't understand that you are trying to help. It can't see the true problem. Yes, persecution will come. It always does. It reminds me of the passage in 2 Tim 3. 2 Timothy 3 This is the lot of all who desire to be followers of Jesus - lights, testimonies and witnesses. I want you to imagine being a disciple and hearing the words of Jesus. You want to talk about emotional whiplash. Sunday you thought you would be ruling on a throne with the most powerful political and spiritual leader in world history.Now Thursday and this same guy says he's going to die and it's very likely you will die a martyr's death. And here's what he leaves you: “Take heart. I have overcome the world. I go to prepare a place for you. The helper will come. He will give you his power and fruit.” When all comes crashing down, remember these truths.Do not fear. That was an adjustment. That's the ammunition that the creator of the universe gave them to walk into martyrdom. These must be powerful truths. Don't downplay it. Application Now what about us? America is not a hotspot for persecution but there are many areas of the world where active persecution is a very present reality. If you are not familiar with this website opendoor.com, I'd encourage you to spend some time here. Some of the content from this site is actually on our missions wall outside in the foyer which we'd also encourage you to take some time and soak that in. On this site you will find a sort of heat map that describes the current countries in the world that experience the most persecution and it ranks them from most to least persecuted. And this is important for us to think about. Hebrew 13:3 tells us, “Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.” (Heb. 13:3 ESV) If you are not familiar, 11% of our church budget goes toward missions.And this year we were able to give tens of thousands of dollars away to help brothers and sisters around the world who are taking the gospel into persecuted areas.We support missionary families from four different parts of the world. All of these families are in persecuted areas. But in addition as a church this year we've been able to give toward projects with trusted partners from all over the globe. And I thought it would just be encouraging for you to see where some of this money went. We gave $7500 toward COVID relief in Bangalore, India as well as $2500 toward a church building project in southern India, $650 toward a education project, $65,000 toward the building of a seminary in Nagaland that will reach into those dark red countries of Nepal, Bhutan, Mynmar. Here's a progress report we just received from them. It's exciting to be part of several ministries in India that are all running full tilt. In the Americas we were able to give $2500 toward some shade in a church plant in Mexico and $5000 toward a scholarship program for pastors in a Latin American seminary we have a partnership with. We were also part of a cool translation project in China were we are able to give $5000 to translate a series of counseling works into Chinese: In fact all these great biblical counseling resources for pastors who are laboring in underground churches: We also gave some money toward a church planting project in Mongolia. You will get to meet our missionary to Mongolia, Sheika and his wife Haka in just a few weeks. He's coming here to preach. A rather unexpected relationship developed this year with pastors who were fleeing from Afghanistan into Pakistan. Afghanistan just this year surpassed North Korea in being the most persecuted country in the world. We were able to help with pastoral training and accommodating some basic food, shelter from underground Christian churches who were taking in refugees.One of their biggest needs was for Bibles. And so we gave them $1500 to purchase many, many Bibles to hand out. Here's a full report of what we gave this year just in one time gifts: This report details everything we just mentioned plus $12,000 we spent to over a dozen individuals to all over the world for short and long term trips, gifts to Mission Aviation Fellowship, local outreach here in the valley and more. So we say all this because we want to make the point that we stand in solidarity with those who are actively being persecuted even tortured and martyred for the name of Christ. These are our brothers and sisters and we pray for them. We pray that the Holy Spirit would minister to them as they carry forward the name of Christ and bear a unique hatred of the world. Closing Song Now we are going to close with a song that comes out of Psalm 146 . And Psalm 146 is my favorite Psalm.I've told some people that and they laugh at me.They kind of raise an eyebrow, saying there are better Psalms, in their opinion. Why is that your favorite Psalm? Well listen, I'm more in love with this Psalm that I was even two years ago. You are not going to budge me. One of the main reasons I love this Psalm is that it doesn't whitewash the hardships of life. Listen, the world is filled with sorrow. There is no promise of ease for the Christian. Persecution might be your lot. You will be hated. All those who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. There are consequences for being a follower of Jesus. The Psalm acknowledges that. Listen to it. The Psalm begins with the Psalmist coming off the hook. I mean he is just coming unglued with Praise. There's so much radiant heat from being confronted with the beauty of God, there's this just this rolling boil of joyful worship. Psalm 146 So there's the rolling boil. There's the worship just exploding off the pages. But it's not because of people or circumstances. Because those can be taken away from you. He says, if you are happy today because you just got promoted or got some money or purchased your first house, or found that perfect match, be warned.Sorrow is just around the bend, because these things don't last. They will be taken away. Let's put our hope in something solid. Something eternal. Something TRUE. Here it is. This God, who calls the trillions of stars of the universe into existence with a WORD will actually come to minister to those who are hated by the world. He keeps faith forever. His promises NEVER fail. And what are those promises that that the persecuted can hold onto? Isn't that beautiful? So beautiful. Let's stand and proclaim the praise of God!

This episode welcomes philosopher, writer, and president of the Institute for the Advancement of Psychedelic Christianity, Jack Call. Jack is the author of 4 books: Dreams and Resurrection, God is a Symbol of Something True, Life in a Psychedelic Church, and Psychedelic Christianity. Today, we discuss his philosophy, including how psychedelic drugs brought him closer to Christianity and God.Jack introduces us to the Boo Hoo Bible, the cultish practice of Psychedelic Christianity, and solipsistic nihilism. We discuss what’s out of our control and what’s basic and in our control.“I don’t want to say that God is just a concept…God accounts for the fact that there are things aren’t under our control, but something—somebody gets them done.”Call went from conceptualizing God in a depersonalized reality, similarly to the style and philosophy of Alan Watts, but gradually moved toward an understanding that God is personal and our relationship with God is part of the Ultimate Goal.What is the Ultimate Goal? Jack pulls apart the varying layers of what the goal is and how we can achieve it.  Jack takes us through the journey of the Dream Analogy and we talk about what it could be like to die. Is there an afterlife? What does the afterlife look like? What does this reveal or contribute to transformation? We imagine together.Jack explains why the parable of the lost sheep is anti-utilitarian and what we can do instead, to bring about the Kingdom and maintain right relationship with God.“The highest goal would be for ourselves to stop doing the wrong thing because we do understand that is it the wrong thing. And we love God and our neighbor as ourselves. And that’s what would be loving about the Kingdom of God. It’s when I stop doing something unjust because I realize it’s unjust. When I ask for forgiveness because I realize what I’ve done is wrong…I’m not saying we shouldn’t have any laws…The Kingdom of God is not about forcing anyone to do anything.”This episode is for the lovers of philosophy and imaginative conceptions and possibilities. To connect with Jack Call, first, check out his book collection.https://www.amazon.com/Jack-Call/e/B002U4NFQU?ref_=dbs_p_pbk_r00_abau_000000 Then, find him on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/jack.call.9699  Janitor and President of the Institute for the Advancement of Psychedelic Christianity, Jack Call was a clergyman in the Neo-American Church for six years, worked as a typesetter for 11 years, earned a Ph.D. in philosophy from Clarement Graduate University, and taught philosophy at Citrus College for 19 years.

Guillaume le Gentil didn’t find purpose in the church, seeking it instead in the stars. In 1761, he participated in a global astronomical mission to observe the Transit of Venus from various stations across the globe. But the course of science never did run smooth, and le Gentil’s travels would scatter him far and wide, across time and space, and from toilet-bound depression to true illumination.

Richard Welsh thought he could squeeze in a quick drink with his mates after work, but one thing led to another, and he was conscripted into the English army to fight in a global war. His wife, not thrilled, dropped the kids off with a babysitter and set out to bring Richard home. Thus began Christian Welsh's epic, decades-long quest through the battlefields of Europe to find her husband, and herself. And a pet pig, which was a bonus.

Nobody in France had seen anything like it. The boy, Tarrare, could eat whatever he wanted, in enormous quantities, and never felt full or put on weight. Tarrare was just hungry.

The opera singer who burned down a convent. A naked man who saved the life of Genghis Khan. An astronomer who ate bad beef. These are true stories, but they aren't about people who changed the world. You won't read about them on the Wikipedia page for "history", or hear them on a podcast about trains. These stories are of weird creeps and unlucky management consultants, whose lives and legacies crumbled underneath the indifferent march of time. On July 16th, Something True returns, with these stories, and more, from the footnotes of history. Subscribe at somethingtrue.net.

Through listening to other podcasts about writing and other talk shows I realize the importance of communication with my readers and listeners. Express yourself in your writing to create something true—I'm paraphrasing from the quote of the day by John Wray.

In this episode I share more about my experiences of how we tend to value the healing services and trainings we receive. What gives something its true value? It has become clear in my 25 years as a massage therapist and my more recent exploration of online courses and services, that the price tag on something does not give it its value. My need for it and ability to implement and integrate the material into my life are better determinants of the value of something. And as I discover my own intrinsic creative gifting capacity, what I feel called to give to the world, it seems to increase my sense of self value, the value of what I am giving, my own needs and the importance that my giving is sustainable, that my needs are being met, and that I am inspiring and nurturing your intrinsic gifts to arise from within you to meet our collective needs and my needs in particular if we are to develop a sustainable relationship where I am giving to you through this podcast for example and you are supporting me in some way as well.

The idea behind this show is pretty simple: A university campus is a destination for all kinds of interesting people, so why not invite some of these folks out to brunch, where we’ll have an informal conversation about their work, and then we’ll turn those brunches into a podcast?It’s a tough job, but somebody has to do it.For our season two premiere, host Ted Fox sits down with Pulitzer Prize-winning author Marilynne Robinson, a professor emerita at the University of Iowa Writers’ Workshop. Their conversation begins with Marilynne reading from her second novel, Gilead, the Pulitzer winner. From there, they talk about Gilead, broader ideas of faith and meaning, the writing process, and “the obligation to try to say something true.”

You look up from your keyboard and notice something's not right. It looks like the game you were just playing, but a little off. A little worse. Did you fall into a game within a game?

Katie Oates is a singer and songwriter. Her music explores the longings and connections that invite us into the higher graces of our humanity. There is laughter and tears in her lyrics and the thrill of getting lost in a song. There is a clever flirtation in her words and a vulnerability in her desires. What is true about her music is what is true about Katie: she has a grateful and generous spirit that seeks to make relationships meaningful, playful and profound. She has been a singer throughout her life - from church choirs to musical theater to smoky bar room stages - but it has been in mid-life that she began composing and performing original songs. Katie inspires us to do the same: to find our voice and to discover the best in ourselves.  This episode is perfect for anyone interested in singing and songwriting and a journey to give voice to the connections that matter. IN THIS EPISODE Katie shares what is consistent about all her songs. She answers whether music or words come first when she composes songs. She explains what butterfly nets have to do with songwriting. Katie sings 'When Dragons Were Real.' She talks about growing up as a preacher's daughter and what she internalized and carries with her to this day. She discusses going away to boarding school, attending college and graduate school, and the one line through it all.  She shares her impressions of Boston and Nashville and the push and pull of music. Katie talks about an experience that led to a decision that changed her life. She discusses the importance of story in her life and work. She reads a quote of her own about craving connection to the 'funny, odd, poignant and limitless.' She answers whether the past and future are quite sufficient. She talks about why many people feel lost and disconnected, what's next in her work, and whether fame is something she desires. Katie sings 'Edge of a Hurricane.' After the conversation, host Mark Peres adds a personal word that begins this way, "Katie's music and the yearning for and celebration of human connection that is her work transports me to the moment I witnessed Johnny and June Carter Cash on stage..."

In the season finale of Something True, we crack the seal on Jack Parsons—a legendary rocket scientist, drummed out of the profession for his overbearing interest in the occult magick of Aleister Crowley. Parsons devoted his early retirement to a full-throated study of the arcane arts. His ambitions were nothing less than to coax an ancient, beautiful goddess from her primal dimension into the spare bedroom of his Pasadena bungalow. Everything proceeded to plan, until Parsons made a famous friend who would not only change his life, but the world... and all the worlds beyond.

When the mysterious woman disappears the next morning, Tate doesn't even know her name.

But when the closeted Laura romances an employee of the coffee shop her company is shutting down, things get suddenly complicated. Now, the lies she's told for years are beginning to unravel, and her biggest secret is about to be exposed.

Is there such a thing as a "true religion?" Is it a choice between literalistic theism and scientism? Where do you fall along the belief spectrum? Friday, March 5, New World Radio host Christopher Naughton and special guest Unity minister Diane Scribner Clevenger interview Jack Call, author of the recent book, God Is a Symbol of Something True: Why You Don't Have to Choose Either a Literal Creator God or a Blind Indifferent Universe. The conversation ranges from the "traditional" belief systems many of us were brought up in to the notion of a personal God, the more deistic views as held by Thomas Jefferson and his contemporaries, to the beliefs of those who just aren't sure.
