Have you noticed that people like to follow or watch from a distance. While at times, or in certain circumstances, this might be a good thing, when following Christ it most certainly is not. God doesn't desire for us to follow at a distant but close by. If He never leaves us, why do we leave Him? In this message we will see what causes us to follow afar off, and what the results are from following afar off. Let's dive in as we look in the Gospel of Luke at a man named Peter.Have you made a decision? Are you looking for help?

In this week's episode: with the energy crisis picking up pace who are set to be the winners and losers in this cold war for gas? Domestically we are seeing queues for petrol, rising gas prices all in the face of the Government's net-zero agenda. And internationally things are looking just as turbulent, with China buying up as much fuel as possible, America becoming more isolationist when it comes to its energy supply, and Russia feeling more powerful in its place thanks to its Nord Stream 2 pipeline. These are the issues that Seb Kennedy addresses in his cover piece this week for The Spectator. He speaks about his findings on the podcast along with Senior Reporter for Energy and Commodities for Bloomberg and co-author of The World for Sale, Jack Farchy. (00:50) Also this week: can the police reform with Cressida Dick still in charge?

Dog parks have really become a big deal. They are used daily by hundreds of families with dogs. They romp, run, play and wrestle. Sometimes, they just hang out. It often reminds me of McDonald's Play Place. Throw a bunch of random kids together and they're bound to hit it off, right? As a child, it was my favourite restaurant to eat in. A Kid's Meal with a toy and a place to play with bouncy horses, ball pits, Merry-Go-Rounds, and slides. McDonalds knew that if they built it, the kids would come - and the kids would bring their family! It was brilliant marketing on their part. The kids, after all, are typically the ones who get to choose where. The parents were happy because after eating, they got to chat while the kids played in the little windowed cell - safe and contained. What kid wouldn't love it at the Play Place? Well, there are some. The ones who get bullied by other kids. The ones who get hurt. As a kid, I remember an incident where I was pushed from behind by a child on the slide. I didn't know him. I wasn't sure if he was impatient and I was taking too long or if he truly was looking to bully me. All I know is I ended up with a goose egg on my head and a fat lip where I bit down hard. My mom came running in to help me and after attending to my immediate needs, she turned to find both child and parent had vanished. They were nowhere to be seen. That was early on in the days when McDonalds first realized that marketing to children was beneficial. We saw exciting colours and fun and wanted to be part of it! We didn't have access to the information we do now. We made decisions based on different factors back then - the Play Place seemed safe and magical! Fast forward to today and the accessibility of details at your fingertips. Google "Play Place Accidents". I got almost 5 million results in less than one second! Now, I'm quite certain that not all 5 million results are horrific incidents, but likely, a few of them are. Now Google "Dog Park Accidents".McDonald's Not quite as big a list at 1.5 million, but still a lot of incidents includiing Spectator articles about dogs being killed. We don't recommend the traditional use of Dog Parks. With the lack of structure and complete anonymity, it can be a powder keg just waiting for a spark. With the stories that we are privy to, we know that it's not worth the risk. None of our staff would ever go to one. Check with any vet and I'm quite certain that they've all seen tremendous injury as a result of Leash-Free Dog Parks as well. So, the question is, are you willing to take the risk? There are, of course, a balance of facts. Probably most days go by without incident at the Dog Park. With a little planning and some rules to follow, it can be a fun experience. So, how do you decide if the risk is worth it? I would break it down to the points we talk about in this episode.

In this week's episode: is Boris Johnson running on empty or is a weak opposition giving him the momentum he needs? Kate Andrews asks in her cover story this week if Boris Johnson's government has run out of ideas – as well as petrol. Katy Balls also writes in the magazine that the opposition seems unable to take advantage of the government's failures. Katy and Kate join William on the podcast to give their takes on the state of both parties. (00:51) Also this week: what is behind China's latest crackdown on cryptocurrency?

He along with George Magnus, author of Red Flags, Why Xi's China is in jeopardy speak on the podcast about Beijing's crypto future. (14:15) And finally: are the Marvel movies – good?

They may not have received particularly positive reviews in the Spectator over the years, but Rosie Millard has jumped to their defence in the magazine's lead arts feature this week.

This year's regional finals for The Spectator's Economic Innovator of the Year Awards kicked off with a fascinating session in a private dining room of the boutique hotel One Aldwych. We managed to pack representatives of all 12 finalists (chosen from 90-plus entrants for the region round one table), plus guest judges Paul Abberley (CEO of our sponsor, Charles Stanley Wealth Managers) and former Award winner Jonny Ohlson of Touchlight, the pioneering DNA manufacturer. With entrants ranging across the healthcare, fintech, food, energy and education sectors, as well as social media and high-tech engineering — and only around eight minutes for each to present and answer questions — the judges faced a formidable task. And of course the final choice of winners has to be subjective rather than scientific. But all the presentations were clear and concise — and there were several conversations across the table suggesting possible synergies between entrants in related business fields. So, as always, we hope participants gain from the networking opportunities as well as the accolade of being selected as finalists — and we hope Spectator readers and podcast listeners will take a few minutes to explore their websites and products.

President Biden has spent the week meeting with foreign leaders including Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Now, the number of people starting to speculate about the state Joe Biden's health is growing. Freddy Gray sits down with Amber Athey, the Washington Editor for The Spectator to discuss where the cracks are beginning to show and what this could mean for Kamala Harris.

Amber Athey from the Spectator discusses the President's strange speaking engagement and his diplomatic agenda. Later, Grace and Taylor play Woke or Joke. Some headlines include Epcot, Cinderella and vegan basketball uniforms.

In this week's episode: can the new Aukus alliance contain China? In his cover piece this week, James Forsyth writes that the new Aukus pact has fixed the contours of the next 30 years of British foreign policy. Britain, he says, is no longer trying to stay neutral in the competition between America and China. On the podcast James is joined by Francis Pike, author of Empires at War: A Short History of Modern Asia Since World War II, who also wrote for the magazine this week, giving the case against Aukus. (00:45) Also this week: what can be done to save the Church of England's parishes? Back in February, Emma Thompson, a rural parish volunteer, and the Reverend Marcus Walker, Rector of St Bartholomew the Great, London, wrote pieces for the Spectator expressing their concern for the future of the Church of England's parish system. The Archbishops of Canterbury and York dismissed these concerns as scaremongering from ‘rascally voices'. Seven months on there is a new threat to the parish, which Emma writes about in this week's magazine. She is joined by Marcus on the podcast to explain what you can do to save your local church.  . (16:35) And finally: in a time when travel has never been faster, why has so little been done to reform queues? This is the question Harry Mount asks in the magazine this week. He sits down with me now, with the Spectator's Wiki Man columnist, Rory Sutherland to pitch some transformative ideas on how to update this very British pastime.  (29:10) Hosted by William Moore Produced by Sam Holmes

Some restaurants in the city so nice they named it twice are standing up to Big Bird de Blasio's vaccine diktat, and he doesn't like that very much. Hizzoner's men are now going door-to-door with citations and fines in hand for business that fail to close their doors to the unwashed. If that wasn't enough to prove to you that the people running our lives are idiots, the Biden Bunch had a busy week releasing illegal Haitans into the country, buying Chinese drones, and teaching us that white supremacy—not Jihad!—is the gravest threat to American safety. And lest you think these are the cruelest of our afflictions, remember that radical leftists are still brainwashing our children into good little Marxists.

With Thrasymachus the sophist thoroughly spanked and sent home crying, the real philosophers in the room get to work. That's the premise of Republic Book II, in which Socrates embarks with Glaucon and Adeimantus on a monumental project of imaginary civilization-building. In this episode of Young Heretics, Spencer Klavan explores the question, can they craft a city of pure justice, or just a totalitarian nightmare? -- Public Goods is the one stop shop for sustainable, high quality everyday essentials made from clean ingredients.

I confess at this stage I couldn't think of much to say about the Russian elections that wasn't obvious, or hadn't been said, so instead I recorded a 'magazine' episode covering a range of other topics:Team Navalny's latest video (here), this time on the corruption of Foreign Minister Lavrov, and why the opposition needs a new big ideaThe Zapad-2021 exercises and their political significance (coverage by Mike Kofman here and Konrad Muzyka here)Three stories that went under-reported in Russia: on AUKUS, on Putin's health (my Spectator piece is here) and Sputnik VRumours that Sergei Shoigu is being sent to Siberia - in a good way.You can also follow my blog, In Moscow's Shadows, and become one of the podcast's supporting Patrons and gain question-asking rights and access to exclusive extra materials right here. 

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for September 17, 2021 is: precarious • prih-KAIR-ee-us • adjective Precarious means "characterized by uncertainty, insecurity, or instability that threatens with danger." // College debt leaves many students in a precarious financial situation after graduation. // The books were stacked high in a precarious tower. See the entry > Examples: "Staff may be anxious about returning to the office and want to be assured of their safety while leaders are in the precarious position of having to make what they think is the right call." — Bernard Coleman, Inc., 18 Aug. 2021 Did you know? "This little happiness is so very precarious, that it wholly depends on the will of others." Joseph Addison, in a 1711 issue of Spectator magazine, couldn't have described the oldest sense of precarious more precisely—the original meaning of the word was "depending on the will or pleasure of another." Precarious comes from a Latin word meaning "obtained by entreaty," which itself is from the word for prayer, prex.

Karol Markowicz from NY Post and The Spectator discusses back-to-school insanity in Gotham. Grace also hits General Mark Milley's alleged treasonous phone call to a general in China.

Freddy Gray sits down with The Spectator’s economics editor Kate Andrews to discuss the American economy. During the pandemic, inflation grew rapidly – but the latest reports show that it is on its way down again. Is this just a dip before another spike?

As Americans reflect on the events of 9/11 20 years on, Liz remembers the heroic acts of the people changed the course of history forever on that day.

Biden rocks people of good conscience everywhere as he targets 80 million Americans because of their personal healthcare choices. Lacking any authority to do so, our very own American Tyrant reverses (erases?) his previous vaccine mandate position to announce he is, in fact, using federal coercion to bend private employers and personal behavior to his will. Liz breaks down Biden's bully tactic. Plus, while Larry Elder is attacked by a woman in a gorilla suit (nothing racist to see here!), one professor suggest “white people should commit suicide,” you know, "as an ethical act.” This is The Liz Wheeler Show. -- The Spectator believes that life is bigger than politics, which is why it covers arts, culture, food, wine, travel, and life all around.
