Pastor Josh preaches from Book of Nehemiah chapter 4 on the reality of spiritual opposition and the call to “work hard and make war.” This sermon is a powerful challenge to Christians to stand firm under criticism, fight for their families, rebuild what's broken, and remain faithful to Jesus even when facing resistance. There needs to be a recovery of the spiritual 'spine' in the Church today... Jesus did not guarantee that you will be liked. GET YOUR TICKETS NOW!          Freedom Con 2026: Rise of the Statesman          June 19-20, 2026 • Father's Day Weekend          The Gorge Amphitheater, George, WashingtonREGISTER: https://www.FreedomCon26.comSupport the showThanks for listening! Go to www.StrongerManNation.com for more resources.

Every believer carries a different expression of God's nature, but few ever discover which one defines their calling. Some are Lovers, driven by intimacy and compassion. Others are Warriors, built to confront darkness and take territory. Then there are Statesmen, positioned to shape culture and influence nations. When you learn to walk in all three dimensions, you step into a powerful convergence where your authority, wisdom, and devotion align to fulfill God's purpose for your life.   Podcast Episode 2100: Are You a Lover, a Warrior, or a Statesman? Here's Why It Matters | don't miss this! Listen to more episodes of the Lance Wallnau Show at lancewallnau.com/podcast

We're talking about allegations of mortgage fraud, using a veterans' homebuyer program… not for a modest starter home, not for something that screams “humble public servant”… but for a million-dollar second home in Washington, D.C. That's not bending the rules, that's treating them like optional accessories.And then the name change. Now look, people change names for all kinds of reasons. Reinvention, privacy, branding. Hollywood's been doing it forever. But when the explanation starts circling around hiding a family connection to a convicted felon tied to cartel activity, that's not a rebrand… that's a full-on witness protection vibe without the federal paperwork.And here's where the story starts to get… let's call it atmospherically strange.You've got colleagues calling him “the Troll.” Not exactly “the Statesman,” not “the Gentleman from Arizona.” No, “the Troll.” That's the kind of nickname that doesn't come from nowhere. That's earned. That's behavior-based branding.Then there's the harassment allegations. A young staffer files a complaint… and suddenly she's out of a job? That's the kind of sequence that makes people lean forward and go, “Wait… rewind that part.”And just when you think the story has reached its peak absurdity, here comes the subplot that feels like it was written by a screenwriter who had too much espresso: the Eric Swalwell connection.Because apparently, while Americans were locked down, kids masked up, small businesses gasping for air… Gallego and Swalwell are on an $80,000 Qatari-funded trip. Sun, sand, camels… shirtless photo ops like it's a travel influencer convention for elected officials.You can't make this stuff up. If you pitched this as fiction, an editor would say, “Tone it down, it's unrealistic.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Statesman.  Author.  President of the United States.  Perhaps no one's words best embodied the ethos of the Founding Fathers quite like Thomas Jefferson.  At Constituting America, we feel what he wrote in the Declaration of Independence 250 years ago makes it one of the  world's greatest documents of freedom ever written.  To help us better understand Jefferson and his extraordinary enduring legacy, we are pleased to welcome back longtime Constituting America friend, Tony Williams.  Tony is a senior fellow at the Bill of Rights Institute, senior fellow at Constituting America and a prolific author of such books as  "Divided over the Declaration: How an Enduring Debate Sustains the Vision of America," co-authored with Dr. David J. Bobb.

Amid more dire polling for Labour and the revelation that both he and the Defence Secretary were on holiday as Donald Trump threatened to wipe Iran off the map at the weekend, Keir Starmer has now disappeared to the Middle East for meetings with Gulf state leaders.The Telegraph's political editor Tony Diver tells Camilla and Tim that, despite him having no say in ceasefire talks, this is a desperate, last-ditch strategy to portray Starmer as an international statesman by Number 10, with a local election wipe-out on the cards in May. Elsewhere, Tony also talks Camilla and Tim through his exclusive research that shows the UK is more divided than ever before.

The prime minister is trying to appeal to voters ahead of May's elections by talking about conflict overseas - can branding him as a global statesman rescue his premiership, in the same way Gordon Brown tried to survive after the financial crash?With Danny away, we turn to the next generation - Simon Finkelstein, former adviser to Jeremy Hunt and Dominic Raab (and Danny's nephew) joins Sally, Polly and Hugo.We also discuss whether MPs know enough about the real world - would we be better off with a House Of Commons full of Ed Milibands or Angela Rayners?And, we answer a listener who worries we're too flippant about the remarkable rise of Zack Polanski's Green Party.Send your questions, comments and voicenotes to howtowin@thetimes.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

Alan Miller has a long list of Angus champions associated with his Prairie View Farms prefix, but the roster shouldn't be mistaken for a simple overnight success. He's a third-generation Angus breeder who, along with his family, grew the small cow herd of his childhood into a premier show cattle operation near Gridley, Ill.  At the same time, Miller was helping beef producers across the state in a position with the University of Illinois. The duality of his experience — both commercial and show ring — gives him a unique perspective on the future of the beef industry, how to serve a breed with multiple end targets and the importance of recruiting youth back into agriculture. In this episode, Miller shares everything from his judging philosophy and use of IVF to his favorite herd animals over the years. HOSTS: Miranda Reiman and Mark McCully GUEST: Alan Miller, Gridley, Ill., is a third-generation Angus breeder. His grandfather, Adam Schlipf, began an Angus cattle herd in the late 1940s and was active in the purebred Angus business through the 1960s. Forty-plus years ago, Miller's parents, Orlan and Carol Miller, began revitalizing the Angus herd and named the operation Prairie View Farms (PVF). Alan and his wife, Theresa, operate PVF in close cooperation with their three children, Amelia, Adam and William, and Miller's brother-in-law and sister Brandon and Cathy Jones.  Miller graduated from the University of Illinois in 1995 with a degree in animal sciences. He went on to earn his master's and doctorate from Illinois in ruminant nutrition. He worked for 15 years for the University of Illinois Extension running its SPA/IRM Program. Miller is a former member of the American Angus Association Board of Directors, where he served as Angus Genetics Inc., (AGI) chairman.  SPONSOR:  It's a great time to be in the cattle business, and it's the perfect time to invest in genetics that will move your herd forward. You're invited to Deer Valley Farm's Spring Bull Sale, Friday, March 28, at noon near Fayetteville, Tenn.

  Host: Dan Panetti   My very first episode of T4M was about this idea - who is going to pick up the sock in the living room? Yes…that's what men do - they do what needs to be done, even if it comes at a cost to them! Manhood isn't about advancing yourself, but about using the gifts, talents, and resources that you have to advance others!   One man who embodied this concept was General George C. Marshall - and a great book that you can read to learn more about his life, work, and character is Soldier, Statesman, Peacemaker: Leadership Lessons from George C. Marshall by Jack Uldrich.   The quote about Abraham Lincoln that is attributed to Robert G. Ingersoll is “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.” Awesome concept that Lincoln lived out so well.   Another great resource to learn more about the concept of humility is Andrew Murray's classic Humility: The Path to Holiness.   And I couldn't remember the title of Tim Keller's awesome (and incredibly short) book on this as well - The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness: The Path to True Christian Joy. Trust me, you'll want to read this and give copies to friends!

Such an episode.  One of three episodes for Black History Month this Month, we cover the amazing life of Frederick Douglass, born a slave, he managed to sneak an education which propelled him to Freedom and so much more.  He learned letters and managed to improve his education by challenging white school children and allowing them to correct him, watching men in lumberyards and shipyards mark words on boxes and objects until he could copy their strokes perfectly.  We discuss hiss first attempt to escape which got him arrested and his second which earned him Freedom.  We discuss his life as a writer, an abolitionist, a public speaker and as a consciense for the country following the Civil War (which was a war about slavery not state's rights...don't be fooled by a racist narrative).  We mention how he had the best hair of that era and his lifelong career as a speaker and statesman even touching on earlier mentions on our podcast (episode 232 and 242) and so much more in this, our first Black History Month epiosde of 2026 on the Family Plot Podcast.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.
