We continue celebrating twenty-five years of proclaiming the Gospel; evangelizing the culture; supporting the faithful; and inviting the disaffiliated, the forsaken, and those who have fallen away back to Christ and his church. However, over the years, attacks against Bishop Barron and Word on Fire have come from many sources, including online anti-evangelists who hate religion in general and Christianity in particular and from those who posture themselves as the Church's greatest defenders. What is the substance of these detractions? What motivates them? Do they pose an actual threat to the ministry? What can they teach us as evangelists about how to respond constructively to public criticism, especially when it's vicious?    A listener asks how we should understand the meaning and implications of “turning the other cheek.”  00:00 | Introduction 01:32 | Standing for life with the DOWR seminarians 02:27 | Do any of your critics surprise you? 03:40 | Early interaction with YouTube comments 05:28 | Criticism #1: You're too conservative—or too liberal 06:38 | Your critique of “beige Catholicism” is unfair and trivializing 09:45 | Criticism #2: Prioritizing beauty is a luxury 14:00 | Criticism #3: The thinkers you reference are only appropriate in academic settings 17:18 | Criticism #4:You've joined Balthasar in promoting universal salvation 20:01 | Criticism #5: You're too political—or not political enough 25:46 | Criticism #6: Your critiques of wokeism are one-sided and unfair to social justice 31:57 | Criticism #7: You're too supportive of Vatican II—or not supportive enough 35:50 | Criticism #8: You don't discern the platforms on which you appear 41:29 | Advice for responding to public criticism 42:33 | Listener question: How do I “turn the other cheek” without enabling the offender? 44:54 | Join the Word on Fire Institute Links: “Dare We Hope” Resource Page: https://www.wordonfire.org/hope/ Word on Fire Institute: https://institute.wordonfire.org/ NOTE: Do you like this podcast? Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member!

What happens when the very thing that once lit you up feels out of reach—yet still lives deep in your soul, waiting to be reclaimed? In this episode, we sit down with Carla Sciaky, a lifelong musician, who opens up about her incredible journey from early musical brilliance to facing a dark night of the soul that transformed everything. Carla shares how her relationship with music shifted from pressure and perfectionism to something sacred—purpose-driven, healing, and deeply connected to Spirit. We explore how silence became her ally, how creativity cycles through light and shadow, and how music—far beyond just entertainment—has the power to change lives, starting with her own.From the science behind music's effect on the brain and body to its emotional influence on infants and elders alike, Carla offers a unique blend of personal story and universal truth. How does music shape our development? And what role can it play in reconnecting with who we truly are? Whether you're an artist, healer, or simply someone navigating your own transformation, Carla's wisdom will stir something in your soul. Tune in to remember the power of music—not just as a sound, but as a force for connection, healing, and coming home to yourself.Ways to Connect with Carla & her Music:https://www.carlasciaky.com/http://www.doorwaytoyourlife.com/Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n89CPWG4uELyric video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtQKKSbrEkgOrder an album on Carla's website: https://carlasciaky.com/index.html#storeP.S. A note from Carla: "It occurred to me to say that I really want other coaches, therapists, healers, etc., to feel free to use any of my songs in their work with clients, For example, my 12-step sponsor used to use my song “Awakening” (title song of my 1995 release) to do workshops and journaling exercises with recovering addicts. Putting on my musician/songwriter hat, I want to honor all musicians with the reminder that it is most respectful for anyone who puts our songs to use in this way to actually purchase either the individual cut or the album as a whole, and also to credit the songwriter, whoever it is. And at the same time, I would rather someone use it from YouTube or Spotify than not use it at all! I just want to mention that out of respect to all my fellow songwriters."About Carla Sciaky:Carla Sciaky has enjoyed over five decades in her career as a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, including a 2019 induction in the Colorado Music Hall of Fame with the group the Mother Folkers. Renowned for her clear articulate voice, strong fingerpicking style, and a warm intimacy with her audiences, she has toured the US and Europe, amassed a discography on Green Linnet and her own Propinquity labels, and was awarded awards and recognition for her songwriting in such arenas as the Kerrville New Song Competition, the Louisville (KY) songwriting competition, the Colorado Arts and Humanities Fellowship for Composition, and the Billboard Songwriting Competition. Her most recent solo album Heart of the Swan soared to the top of the folk radio charts upon its release in October 2024, and her music video “Standing by a River” has won multiple awards at film festivals worldwide in the categories of music video and songwriting. Carla has also performed on baroque violin as a core member of the Baroque Chamber Orchestra of Colorado and Sémplice Baroque, with Wyoming Baroque, Colorado Chamber Players and more. She lives with her husband Dan in Lakewood, Colorado, working as a published author and public speaker and with clients as a life coach through her practice Doorway to Your Life.Chapters00:00 Carla Sciaky's Musical Journey05:24 The Call Back to Music12:24 The Dark Night of the Soul17:32 Transforming the Creative Process25:54 The Impact of Music on People39:12 Music's Universal Language and Emotional Influence44:57 The Role of Silence in Creativity49:38 The Evolution of Music and Technology

In this episode, we welcome back Dr. Alexander Vindman—retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel and former Director for European Affairs on the White House National Security Council. Known for his key role in the first Trump impeachment and his deep expertise in Eastern European affairs, Vindman returns to discuss his latest book, The Folly of Realism: How the West Deceived Itself About Russia and Betrayed Ukraine. The conversation dives into the geopolitical stakes of the ongoing war in Ukraine, U.S. foreign policy across administrations, and the importance of civic responsibility in the face of authoritarianism. What We Discuss: Why U.S. administrations consistently misunderstood Russia and Ukraine. The concept of “Neo-Idealism” and its value in foreign policy. How family history and personal experience shaped Vindman's worldview. The political realities facing Ukraine and the U.S. in a post-Trump world. The role of values in sustaining democratic institutions. Episode Highlights: [00:01:00] Introduction to Alexander Vindman and his background. [00:04:30] Alex's twin brother Eugene Vindman's transition to Congress and bipartisan cooperation. [00:17:00] Reconnecting with family in Ukraine and the impact of history. [00:25:00] The thousand-year struggle for Ukrainian sovereignty. [00:38:00] Why equating Russia with Cold War power is misguided. [00:44:30] Vindman defines “Neo-Idealism” and its global implications. [01:00:00] The danger of Trumpism and dismantling of democratic norms. [01:07:00] How we can engage across political and cultural divides. Featured Quotes: “Russia, absent Ukraine, ceases to be an empire. With Ukraine, it becomes one.” – Alexander Vindman “Neo-Idealism is about tethering our interests to our values and committing to them over the long term.” – Alexander Vindman “We succumbed to misplaced hopes and fears. We thought if we treated Russia as a partner, it would behave like one.” – Alexander Vindman “You can find common ground by talking about family. That's where our shared concerns lie.” – Alexander Vindman Resources Mentioned: The Folly of Realism – www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/alexander-vindman/the-folly-of-realism/9781541705043 Alexander Vindman's Substack – www.avindman.com Alexander Vindman on Bluesky - @avindman.bsky.social

This concept refers to the small percentage of people who understand and apply these principles, leading them to extraordinary success. Pascale guides listeners through practical applications of these principles, offering deep insights into thought management, goal setting, and breaking free from conformity.   Table of Contents: 1. Introduction to "The Strangest Secret" 2. The Power of Thought 3. Understanding True Success 4. Breaking Free from Conformity 5. Practical Application 6. Conclusion   Detailed Discussion:   1. Introduction to "The Strangest Secret" Earl Nightingale's 1956 recording, a cornerstone in personal development, has sold millions of copies and continues to inspire people worldwide with its profound insights into human potential and success.   2. The Power of Thought The fundamental principle "You become what you think about" forms the foundation of success. Only 5% of people succeed because they understand and apply this principle. The episode explores cultivating positive, goal-oriented thoughts and eliminating self-limiting beliefs.   3. Understanding True Success Success is defined as "the progressive realisation of a worthy ideal." This section examines success as a journey rather than a destination, emphasising the importance of pursuing meaningful goals aligned with one's values and purpose.   4. Breaking Free from Conformity The episode challenges the conventional notion that the opposite of courage is cowardice, revealing that it's conformity. It discusses how 95% of people forfeit their dreams by choosing comfort over courage, and provides strategies for breaking free from this pattern.   5. Practical Application Listeners are guided through reflective questions and exercises to apply these principles in their lives: - Evaluating current thought patterns - Assessing goal worthiness - Measuring faith in achieving dreams - Creating action plans for success   6.

Hello Dears! Happy Friday! I decided to do a little mini series of solo episodes as a follow up the episode of The Never Ending Story and Releasing Fear. To provide an offering for how to begin awakening our loving, trusting selves. And it starts with the heart. Inspired by the wonderful book by Dana Quade, Doing The Thing: How Finding Your Shine Will Brighten Our World I share what she refers to as the 4 chambers of the heart and will be covering each chamber in this mini series.On this episode I talk about the FOURTH chamber of the heart which allows us to stick to our convictions, The COURAGEOUS Heart. I share the importance of having a COURAGEOUS heart which is that of your brave soul, it endows you with the ability to say NO when you must and stick up for what you believe in. It is the heart of self love that no one can fully self-love without. The fiery heart that acts on feelings that are true to the spirit.Doing The Thing: How Finding Your Shine Will Brighten Our World, By Dana Quade,  https://www.amazon.com/Doing-Thing-Dana-Quade/dp/0692001689Donations To Women Waken To Support The Show Are Greatly Appreciated

In this episode of the Admittedly Podcast, host Thomas Caleel tackles a concern we hear often from families: “What if my kid isn't the extroverted type who starts clubs or rallies crowds?” What happens when a student is deeply curious, authentic, and passionate—but in a quieter, more individual way? Thomas breaks down what admissions officers actually value, why solo work can absolutely shine, and how to ensure your quieter approach still connects outside your own bubble. With real examples from students who were more introspective but still successful at the most competitive schools, this episode will help you reframe what leadership, initiative, and involvement really mean—and how to lean into your strengths, even if they look different from everyone else's. Key Takeaways: Being Introverted Isn't a Red Flag: You don't need to lead 100 people to be seen as a leader. You just need to show passion, initiative, and depth—on your own terms. Independent Work Still Counts as Involvement: Internships, research, and solo projects are valid forms of engagement. If you're working with a local lab, nature center, or professor—that is community involvement. But You Can't Stay in a Bubble: Doing everything in isolation won't cut it. Admissions officers are looking for signs that you'll engage with a college community. Find ways to bring your work into the world—through mentorship, volunteering, presentations, or collaboration. Top Schools Value Depth Over Performance: Real curiosity and consistency go further than surface-level leadership. What matters most is how well you understand yourself and how thoughtfully you pursue your interests. You don't need to be someone else to succeed in this process—but you do need to stretch. That might mean presenting your research, finding collaborators, or simply joining a community tied to your interest. Whatever your personality, the key is showing that your work doesn't exist in a vacuum. Let your ideas breathe outside your own world. You're not applying to college to live alone in a lab or in your head—you're joining a community. Admissions officers want to see that you're ready for that in a way that's still true to who you are. Are you an introvert navigating this process? We want to hear your story. DM us your questions @admittedlyco on Instagram or TikTok. Visit www.admittedly.co for more resources and support.

The confrontation between Jesus and the religious authorities reaches a crescendo in Mark 12 with the parable of the wicked vinedressers—a story that's both a judgment and a prophecy. Standing in the temple courts, Jesus speaks with unmistakable authority as he tells of a landowner who prepared a vineyard with meticulous care, only to have his servants abused and his son murdered by those entrusted with its care. The symbolism cuts through centuries of religious pretense: God created Israel, nurtured it, protected it, and expected fruitful service. The prophets he sent were rejected, beaten, and killed. Now the Son stands before them, and the religious leaders are plotting the very crime Jesus describes in his parable.What makes this exchange particularly remarkable is the religious leaders' response. Scripture tells us "they knew he was speaking about them"—yet rather than repenting, they immediately begin plotting his arrest. The parable becomes self-fulfilling as they conspire to become the very characters Jesus portrays them to be.This powerful teaching carries profound implications for spiritual leadership in every generation. The vineyard always belongs to God—never to those temporarily entrusted with its care. When leaders forget they are stewards rather than owners, disaster follows. The cornerstone meant to support everything is rejected, while those who should recognize divine authority instead oppose it.The parable serves as both warning and invitation. While judgment comes to unfaithful stewards, the vineyard itself remains. God's purposes continue through new caretakers, and the rejected stone becomes the foundation of something greater. This masterful teaching reveals Jesus not merely as prophet but as the beloved Son with unique authority to speak for the Father and establish his kingdom.Support the showThank you for listening!!

When heartbreak hits and the tears just won’t stop, it can feel like God is far away. But in today’s devotional, we’re reminded of a profound truth: God draws closer in our sorrow, not further. After attending a funeral, the author expected her grieving friend to be falling apart—but instead, she found a woman sustained by prayer, clinging to God’s strength hour by hour. That’s the power of God’s presence in grief. That’s the promise of Psalm 34:18: “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those crushed in spirit.” Whether you're facing loss, loneliness, or just the ache of unspoken pain, this verse is your reminder—you are never alone. Join the Conversation:Have you experienced God’s closeness during a painful season? What helped you draw near to Him instead of drifting away? Let us know @LifeaudioNetwork or by email. Your story may be just what someone else needs to hear.

Frankly Virginia's story is nuts. Standing up to the Romanian dictator Ceaucescu, she used her skills and courage as a lawyer to defend persecuted Christians and fight for religious freedom. She was tortured repeatedly - yet even blessed her abusers as they did so, who on occasion turned away with tears in their eyes.

Business groups and economists have welcomed the tariff adjustment measures announced by China and the United States on Monday, expressing the hope that the 90-day triple-digit tariff respite will allow both countries to further de-escalate trade tensions.中美两国周一宣布的关税调整措施受到商界团体和经济学家的欢迎，他们希望这项为期90天的三位数关税缓和政策能够为两国进一步缓解贸易紧张关系创造条件。While this provisional agreement marks a notable development in China-US trade relations, analysts warned that business communities should maintain a measured approach, rather than be overly optimistic, as uncertainties still surround the sustainability of the deal and future trade negotiations.尽管这项临时协议标志着中美贸易关系取得显著进展，但分析人士警告称，商界应保持审慎态度，不应过度乐观，因为该协议的可持续性和未来的贸易谈判仍然存在不确定性。According to a joint statement released by the world's two largest economies after a high-level meeting held over the weekend in Geneva, Switzerland, the US has agreed to slash its 145 percent tariffs on Chinese imports to 30 percent, while China has agreed to lower its tariffs on US goods to 10 percent from 125 percent.根据世界两大经济体上周末在瑞士日内瓦举行的高层会晤后发表的联合声明，美国同意将对中国进口商品征收的145%的关税削减至30%，而中国同意将对美国商品征收的关税从125%降至10%。Thomas Fullerton, an economist and a professor of economics at the University of Texas at El Paso, told China Daily that the 90-day triple-digit tariff respite "will help reduce the odds of a deep 2025 business-cycle contraction in both (the US and China), as well as in Latin America and other regions".德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校经济学家兼经济学教授托马斯·富勒顿告诉《中国日报》，为期90天的三位数关税暂缓期“将有助于降低中美以及拉丁美洲和其他地区在2025年出现严重经济周期性衰退的可能性”。"International trade volumes will temporarily accelerate as companies place merchandise import orders that had previously been sidelined," he said.他表示：“随着企业下达此前被搁置的商品进口订单，国际贸易量将暂时加速增长。”Pesitro Healthcare Products Co, a manufacturer of oral care products based in Yangzhou, Jiangsu province, and a longtime supplier to Walmart in the US, expects a significant increase in orders from North American customers.总部位于江苏扬州的口腔护理产品制造商华腾个人护理用品有限公司，是美国沃尔玛的长期供应商，该公司预计来自北美客户的订单将大幅增长。"People are accelerating their purchases because no one can predict future tariff dynamics," said Mu Longsheng, the company's marketing director. "The looming possibility of tariffs rising to 54 percent after 90 days has created additional urgency among North American buyers to secure inventory while rates are still low."“由于无人能够预测未来的关税走势，大家都在加快采购。”该公司市场总监穆龙生说，“90天后关税可能升至54%的预期，使得北美买家更急于在当前税率较低时确定库存。”"The return of the US market is largely attributed to China's resolute countermeasures. Standing firm has earned us the respect and the orders we deserve," Mu added.“美国市场的复苏很大程度上归功于中方的坚决反制。我们的坚定立场为我们赢得了应有的尊重和订单，”穆补充道。Jake Colvin, president of the National Foreign Trade Council based in Washington, DC, said the temporary agreement "cools the rapidly escalating trade war and gives some reprieve to US businesses and consumers".位于华盛顿特区的美国全国对外贸易委员会主席杰克·科尔文表示，这项临时协议“为迅速升级的贸易战降温，并给美国企业和消费者带来了一些喘息的机会”。"However, a temporary pause is just that," he said in a statement. "We urge the administration to continue engagement with China to come to a lasting agreement that will allow American companies to make long-term plans in a more stable and certain environment."“然而，暂时的停摆也只是暂时的，”他在一份声明中表示。“我们敦促政府继续与中方接触，达成一项持久的协议，使美国企业能够在更稳定、更确定的环境中制定长期计划。”US President Donald Trump told reporters on Monday that he was certain a long-term deal would be reached. If it is not, the tariffs will not go back to 145 percent after the 90-day pause ends, but "will go up substantially", he said.美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周一告诉记者，他确信会达成一项长期协议。他表示，如果未能达成，关税在90天的停摆期结束后不会恢复到145%，而是“将大幅上调”。Long battle ahead旷日持久的战斗Analysts expect a long-drawn-out battle ahead, because they believe the gaps between China and the US on existing tariffs and nontariff barriers have further complicated the negotiations.分析人士预计，未来将是一场旷日持久的博弈，因为他们认为，中美在现有关税和非关税壁垒方面的分歧进一步加剧了谈判的复杂性。Gao Lingyun, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences' Institute of World Economics and Politics, said that despite the progress made in tariff reduction, the current overall duty rates continue to weigh heavily on companies and consumers on both sides of the Pacific Ocean.中国社会科学院世界经济与政治研究所研究员高凌云表示，尽管在降低关税方面取得了进展，但目前整体税率依然对两岸企业和消费者造成较大压力。Resolving this hefty tariff issue will, therefore, remain a key priority during upcoming negotiations, he said.因此，他表示，解决这一高额关税问题仍将是即将举行的谈判的首要任务。More important, the discussions are expected to expand into the realm of nontariff barriers. Areas such as investment regulations, market access and the supply of critical raw materials are likely to feature prominently on the agenda, he added.更重要的是，预计谈判将扩展到非关税壁垒领域。他补充说，投资监管、市场准入和关键原材料供应等领域可能会成为谈判的重点。Gao noted that both China and the US have long-standing concerns in these areas, and addressing them will be crucial for achieving a comprehensive and durable trade agreement.高凌云指出，中美双方长期以来都对这些领域存在关切，解决这些问题对于达成一项全面持久的贸易协定至关重要。Luo Zhiheng, chief economist at Yuekai Securities, said, "The results of any future negotiations will ultimately be determined by how each side leverages its power and economic resilience."粤开证券首席经济学家罗志恒表示：“未来任何谈判的结果最终都将取决于双方如何利用各自的实力和经济韧性。”The outcome of the talks represented a notable shift from the "maximum pressure" approach that had characterized the previous China trade policy of the US, he said.他表示，此次谈判的结果标志着美国对华贸易政策明显偏离了以往“极限施压”的策略。When confronted with China's firm countermeasures, the effectiveness of such unilateral actions proved less substantial than initially projected, leading to a necessary recalibration of the US' negotiating position, Luo said.罗志恒表示，面对中国的强硬反制措施，此类单边行动未能产生预期效果，因此美国有必要重新调整谈判立场。respite/ˈrespɪt/n.暂缓，喘息calibration/ˌkælɪˈbreɪʃən/n.校准；调适nontariff barriern.非关税壁垒durable/ˈdjʊərəbl/adj.持久的，耐用的

In this episode, Steven is joined by Mando Sallavanti, a Financial Advisor with MassMutual who focuses on taxes in a way that would make many independent advisors jealous. Mando shares how he so quickly learned enough about taxes for himself that he could start helping his clients pay less in taxes, too.

In this deeply personal conversation, Thaddeus welcomes back his longtime friend and business partner Hanson to discuss his surprising decision to walk away from nightlife promotion after finding renewed faith.Hanson, co-owner of Hawaii Events Unlimited and Level H Promotion, shares the remarkable story of their new nightclub event "Aura" at Eve nightclub.

Standing in the middle of what should have been a triumphant moment, he realized his heart was elsewhere.The conversation explores the challenging intersection of identity and occupation that both men faced during the pandemic. "I realized that my core friends still hit me up... The people that I love still loved me because they loved Thaddeus. They didn't love Thaddeus, the promoter," the host reflects.

God is the ultimate purpose for me now."Beyond clearing up swirling rumors about their departure from Eve nightclub, this episode offers profound insights about authenticity, friendship that transcends business partnerships, and the courage required to walk away from external validation. As Hanson puts it, "Club life is people trying to be happy momentarily... what I'm trying to do now is give a permanent version of that for people."Whether you're contemplating a major life change or simply interested in how careers evolve with spiritual growth, this raw discussion about finding new direction while honoring past experiences will leave you reflecting on your own purpose journey.

You'll learn how to lean on God for strength and comfort, and how to find hope in the midst of hardship. If you're looking for a way to trust God more deeply, then this series is for you.

How do we, as the new family of Jesus, respond to the division and injustices we are encountering all around us? We continue our 8-week sermon series titled The New Family of Jesus, exploring what Ephesians 6 teaches us about how we can be on guard and stand in power together to resist evil forces at work in our world. Scripture Referenced: Ephesians 6:10-20

Temptation is as constant and real as gravity—a daily battle that every believer faces. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar remind Christians that they are never alone in this struggle, and the enemy wants them to believe otherwise. Isolation is one of Satan's strongest tools, but God calls believers to live in the light and walk in community. When one believer confesses a struggle, another can offer encouragement, reminding them that being tempted is part of the Christian journey. A fear of the Lord becomes a shield against compromise. Every time Jesus was tempted, He responded with Scripture. In the same way, when believers store the Word in their hearts, the Holy Spirit brings it to mind at crucial moments, arming them with truth that weakens the power of temptation.Prayer is to be ongoing. Even Elijah, who shared the same human nature, prayed earnestly and witnessed the power of God. The model of praying to be delivered from temptation and evil is not optional—it is essential. Spiritual discipline plays a critical role in a believer's strength. Fasting, once a common practice in the early church, has been overlooked by many today. In avoiding legalism, many have also rejected discipline, but Scripture teaches that while salvation is a gift of grace, Christians are created for good works. Discipline, when motivated by love for God, helps conform believers to the image of Christ.Resisting temptation is not about earning favor, but about growing in Christlikeness. God has predestined His people to be conformed to His Son, and resistance is a part of that transformation. Humility is key—recognizing that apart from God, nothing is deserved but judgment. Gratitude flows from this awareness. The best way to flee temptation is to have somewhere better to run. Redirecting desires toward Christ changes the battle entirely. Believers are the reward of Jesus's obedience, and understanding His love is stronger than any willpower.Standing strong also means running with the right people. Christians grow when they walk with others who are running the race well. Community, scripture, prayer, evangelism, and fellowship all strengthen the soul. Ephesians teaches that the real battle is spiritual and that the armor of God is essential. Believers must be aware of their weaknesses, seek counsel, pursue repentance, and embrace accountability. Like Joseph before Potiphar's wife, believers must refuse, reason, resist—and then run. Those who believe they cannot fall are often the first to do so. Temptation is real, but so is the strength found in Christ.Send us a textThanks for listening!

Join Jim and Greg for Tuesday's 3 Martini Lunch as they cautiously welcome reports that the Iran-backed Houthi rebels will stop attacking ships in the Red Sea. They also dig into GOP concerns over the 2026 Senate map and expose the shocking costs and failures of President Biden's Gaza pier project.First, they react to former President Trump announcing a suspension of U.S. military operations against the Houthis, after the group pledged to cease attacks on ships near Yemen.  Is this the result of overwhelming U.S. force, a concession by the Iranians in hopes of reaching a nuclear deal, both, or something else?Next, they examine growing Republican anxiety about the 2026 U.S. Senate midterms. Top GOP recruits in Georgia and New Hampshire say they will not run and things look a bit shakier than expected for incumbents in three other states. So, are Republicans just overreacting or is there cause for concern?Finally, they vent over reports that 62 U.S. service personnel were injured in various ways while assigned to construct the pier designed to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. Adding insult to those injuries, the pier was only operational for a short time and much of the aid was stolen by terrorists and never given to the people in need.Please visit our great sponsors:This spring, get up to 50% off select plants at Fast Growing Trees with code MARTINI, plus an extra 15% off at checkout on your first purchase!  Visit https://fastgrowingtrees.com/MartiniFuture-proof business operations with NetSuite by Oracle.

The guys discuss how temptation is a constant and unavoidable part of the Christian life, but believers are not alone in the fight. Through Scripture, prayer, spiritual discipline, and community, Christians are equipped to resist temptation and grow in Christlikeness. The fear of the Lord acts as a shield, and memorizing Scripture allows the Holy Spirit to bring truth to mind in moments of weakness. Practices like fasting and consistent prayer strengthen believers spiritually, while humility and gratitude keep their hearts aligned with God. Standing strong also means walking with others who are pursuing Christ, staying aware of personal weaknesses, and embracing accountability. Like Joseph fleeing from Potiphar's wife, Christians must be ready to refuse, reason, resist, and run—trusting that God's strength is greater than any temptation they face.Send us a textThanks for listening!
