"Idols and Counterfeit Gods" - Clay Stauffer - June 7, 2026 by Sermon

Nach vier Romanen über eine Frauenbiografie schreibt die Berner Autorin Stef Stauffer diesmal eine höchst vergnügliche Kleingaunerkomödie. Man leidet mit den Figuren mit und ein bisschen lacht man auch über ihr bemühtes Strampeln für ein würdiges Leben. Sie sind so unendlich menschlich! Ewige Geldsorgen drücken zwar auf ihre Stimmung, aber sie haben auch kreative und nicht immer ganz legale Ideen, wie sie diese Geldsorgen loswerden könnten. Dr Chläbi, d Mönele, dr Anger und dr Püntu. Beim King zum Beispiel, Ex-Tennisprofi, da müsste doch was zu holen sein, so unanständig reich, wie der ist. Wenn nur nicht die Tschuggerei ständig dazwischenfunken würde. Es sind keine Helden und keine grossen Geschichten, über die Stef Stauffer schreibt. Aber ihre Figuren haben Herz. Vor allem haben sie ihr Mundwerk. Denn reden, das können sie endlos. Die Sprache jeder ihrer Figuren spiegle ihren jeweiligen Charakter, sagt die Autorin. Tatsächlich macht das umständliche, wortreiche, bildhafte, farbige Reden dieser Menschen die Lektüre des Romans zu einer Quelle für gute Laune und Mitgefühl. Happy End inklusive. Familienname Jegerlehner Der Familienname Jegerlehner ist in Biglen, Hasle bei Burgdorf und Walkringen im Berner Mittelland einheimisch. Er bezieht sich als Wohnstättenname auf den Wohnort der ersten Personen mit diesem Namen, den Hof Jegerlee im Talgraben in der Gemeinde Walkringen. Dessen Name setzt sich zusammen aus der Personenbezeichnung Jeger und dem alten Rechtswort Lee(n) «Pacht, Lehen». Das Jegerlee war also ein Hof, der an einen Jäger oder an eine Person namens Jeger verpachtet war.

“Our Search for Meaning” - Clay Stauffer - April 19, 2026 by Sermon

This one is a preview of something I've been wanting to do for a long time — a class on the history of Christian social ethics that's actually useful for the moment we're in. Cornell West calls Gary Dorrien the greatest living Christian social ethicist, and after spending any amount of time with him, you understand why. Gary and Aaron Stoffer joined me to give people a taste of what's coming in Theology for Troublemakers, and what they gave us was a genuine history lesson that landed like a live wire. We started with Gary's own formation — a rural Michigan kid who never took a school book home until second semester senior year, who walked into a Catholic church and couldn't stop staring at the figure on the cross, who read a biography of King in ninth grade three times and went looking for the theologians King mentioned in the public library and found none of them. That kid became one of the most important social ethicists of our time. From there we moved into Norman Thomas's warning — that American populism always surges toward a dictator who scapegoats the vulnerable — and what the left's recurring failure to build cross-racial, multi-issue coalitions has to do with where we are now. Gary named the nineties as the most demoralizing decade of his life: TINA, triangulation, NAFTA, three-strikes, welfare gutted, and a Democratic Party that treated its progressive base as something to prove it could overcome. He was not gentle about Clinton, or Obama, or the way purity politics has consistently kneecapped the left's ability to organize. He was hopeful, carefully, about cooperatives, about DSA's organizing culture in New York, and about the strange opening the current moment creates for public theology. The class runs the whole history — from the Black Social Gospel and the new abolitionists to the Christian realists to Yoder and Dorothy Day — and Aaron frames it all in terms of what congregations can actually do with it. Go to homebrewclasses.com. This is the class for right now. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠UPCOMING ONLINE CLASS - Theology for Troublemakers: Christian Social Ethics from the Margins⁠⁠⁠⁠ The injustices we face are immense — but they are not unique. Previous generations confronted the same powers with theological conviction and strategic brilliance. The question is whether we'll learn from them. This 6-week online course, led by Dr. Gary Dorrien and Dr. Aaron Stauffer, recovers the radical tradition of Christian social ethics — from Reverdy Ransom and Reinhold Niebuhr to James Cone and the Welfare Rights Movement — and asks what faithfulness demands of us right now. Weekly lectures, live Q&A conversations, guest lecturers, and an online community included.

Mockumentary über eine evangelikale Sekte. In einem Juradorf treibt die «Gemeinschaft des geteilten Rades» ihr Unwesen. Mysteriöse Vorfälle auf einem Acker rufen eine Investigativ-Recherche des nationalen Radiosenders auf den Plan. Darauf haben die Dorfbewohner gerade noch gewartet. Wer das Hörspiel am Radio hören will: Samstag, 04.04.2026, 20.00 Uhr, Radio SRF 2 Kultur Im Juradorf Cormoret entdeckt der Bauer Luc Pittet in seinem Feld einen geheimnisvollen Findling. Pittet informiert den zuständigen Archäologen, doch eines Morgens ist der Stein weg. Stattdessen finden sich seltsame Schriftzeichen auf dem Acker. Steckt die «Gemeinschaft des geteilten Rades» dahinter? Eine Radiojournalistin fährt nach Cormoret, um das Rätsel des verschwundenen Steins zu lösen.

“Jesus' Prayer for Unity” - Roy Stauffer - March 15, 2026 by Sermon

Katelyn Stauffer, Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Georgia, has an excellent new book focusing on how voters and citizens perceive the legitimacy and functionality of political institutions, especially when they think there are women elected to those institutions. The Politics of Perception: How Beliefs About Women's Inclusion Shape Democratic Legitimacy in the United States (Oxford UP, 2025) weaves together a number of different threads to reach some interesting conclusions about women in elected office and the trust that voters have in those elected offices and institutions. Stauffer starts the research trajectory with a framing around representation, and how the different kinds of representation within elected bodies connects to how voters think about those bodies themselves and whether they trust them and think they are effective. This opens the path to bring in the question of gender, and how voters' or citizens' perceptions of how many women are in legislative bodies also connects with how much trust those same citizens have in those representative bodies. The Politics of Perception explores both accurate perceptions as well as misperceptions about governmental institutions, and this is also where the research is truly fascinating. Part of what the research indicates is that, perhaps unsurprisingly, the American public does not actually know a lot about politics or about how political institutions operate. At the same time, many citizens hold strong opinions or thoughts about politics, which generally are at odds with the lack of knowledge. This is also bound up with stereotypes that voters consider in terms of male and female elected officials and how they work within institutions. The Politics of Perception interrogates all of these misperceptions, unpacking the truth or reality versus the ideas that individuals hold about office holders and the political institutions in which those office holders work. Stauffer also discussed how she was able to build on a comparative politics approach, since parliamentary systems are, by their nature, collective institutions, and this approach helped to provide another theoretical framework for the analysis. The Politics of Perception: How Beliefs About Women's Inclusion Shape Democratic Legitimacy in the U.S. is an important and useful book for many different scholars: those who study American government and politics; scholars of gender and politics, especially in the United States; comparative political scientists; and political theorists exploring issues of representation and democracy. We discussed the Ghost Bookstore in Athens, Georgia as a bookseller that can order The Politics of Perception for readers in Georgia or elsewhere. Lilly J.

"Peace for a Crazy World” - Clay Stauffer - March 1, 2026 by Sermon

Inside is comfortable - inside a house, inside a family, inside a routine - but what if we widen our view beyond the fence and across the street? Matthew 22:39 tells us to "love your neighbor as you love yourself." The question is- who is your neighbor? It's not just the person to the left or right of our house; or upstairs or downstairs in our building. Our neighbor can be the barista at the coffee shop or the cashier at the grocery store. What would it look like to LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR? As the world grows more connected, our neighbors are closer than ever. You might not share a fence, but you can still share their burdens and joys.

From Farm to Innovation: Ryan Stauffer's Journey! In this episode of 'Who Knew in the Moment', host Phil Friedrich interviews Ryan Stauffer, co-founder of Levrack.

Ash Wednesday - “Living Life Backwards” - Clay Stauffer - Feb. 18, 2026 by Sermon

The guys have emerged from an eight-month slumber to sit down with Eric Buzzetti and Devin Stauffer to talk about their teacher Christopher Bruell and the newly edited collection Christopher Bruell: Essays of Five Decades on Philosophy and Philosophers. They recount what it was like to study with Bruell at Boston College, why his writing is equal parts illuminating and elusive, and how his work presses readers back toward tough questions of philosophy. Along the way, they discuss Bruell's relationship to Strauss, his long engagement with Plato, Xenophon, Aristotle, and the moderns, as well as why he resisted easy slogans about nature, happiness, and the philosophical life. If serious reading and soul-forming education are your thing, buckle up for this 99-minute marathon.

"Restoring Power, Sanity, & Hope” - Clay Stauffer - Feb. 8, 2026 by Sermon

Send us a textWhat happens when family life becomes a content strategy and children become the product?In this episode, we unpack the Myka Stauffer controversy, one of the most disturbing case studies in the rise (and reckoning) of family vlogging, parent influencer culture, and child monetization online. What started as wholesome adoption content turned into a public unraveling that forced the internet to confront an uncomfortable truth: when kids are the brand, there's no clean exit.We break down how adoption stories, pregnancy announcements, and “update videos” quietly drive engagement, sponsorships, and algorithmic growth and why audiences begin to feel owed access to children's lives. We talk money plainly: brand deals, sponsorship pressure, and why most family vlog income has nothing to do with YouTube ads and everything to do with image control.Then we slow the conversation down and ask the question that rarely trends: what does this do to a child?A special-needs child doesn't need a redemption arc or a thumbnail, he needs consistency, privacy, and secure attachment. When a polished “re-homing” video provides closure for viewers, the child experiences another rupture. That tension sits at the center of this episode.We also explore:The psychology of parasocial relationshipsWhy comment deletion and silence often signal deeper issuesHow creator “communities” disappear the moment accountability shows upThe misuse of faith language where “God told us” blurs into confirmation biasHow influence quietly becomes an idolWe close by connecting this story to what comes next: a deeper dive into Ruby Franke and Jody Hildebrandt, tracing the pattern from spiritual branding to control and from control to real-world harm.Our bottom line is simple but demanding:Keep sacred things sacred. Put God first. Your spouse second. Your kids third. And let the camera come after conscience.If this episode challenged you, share it with someone who follows family vloggers, subscribe for our upcoming breakdown of the Ruby Franke case, and leave a review with your take:Should children ever be monetized online?Your voice helps shift the conversation from clicks to conscience.

"Do You Want to Be Healed?" - Clay Stauffer - Jan. 25, 2026 by Sermon

Word has been getting around about our Storytelling Dinners. People keep asking the same questions: How do I get to one? What kind of story should I tell? Where do the best stories in my life even come from? And how do I make a good story better—and tell it well? So we decided to answer those questions the best way we know how: by telling stories. In this episode of Changing the Rules, four storytellers from our dinner table came to the microphones—Don Helin, Julie Stauffer, Phil Fretz, and Ray Loewe. They each retell one of their stories and pull back the curtain on how they found it, shaped it, and brought it to life. Along the way, you'll hear how ordinary moments become memorable stories, how a little polishing goes a long way, and why storytelling is a skill anyone can learn—and enjoy. The result? Insight, laughter, and more than a few “I could tell a story like that” moments. What a hoot.

PASTOR CLAUDE STAUFFER Mary welcomes back Pastor Claude Stauffer of Calvary Chapel in Amityville, NY to talk about the church side of the headlines concerning Iran. The cost of conversion there is a life or death matter of course, because it conflicts in every way with Islam. Is there revival going on there? Or is revival fueling the revolution at this juncture in 2026? We talk about the numbers, the cost and how God continues to use Persia for His own purposes – across the ages. Then we look at discipleship in the New Year, via Matthew 1-4. New Years’ resolutions are pretty useless, but God’s Word never returns void. Since that is our commission, to go and make disciples of all men, what better way to start things out than to learn more about how to do that. A full hour with a man who truly loves God’s Word and it transformative effects. Pray for Iran, for the believers there, that they too can make disciples boldly, and fearlessly.

PASTOR CLAUDE STAUFFER Mary welcomes back Pastor Claude to talk about the seasonal occultic holiday we have all come to know as Halloween. Should we or shouldn't we participate, that's an old debate but really, there are solid answers because the Bible doesn't leave us in the dark about anything for life and godliness - and shining a light on the dark is what we are called to do. With that in mind, Pastor Claude takes the analogy of the hot stove to describe how easily and subtly we can get burned by dabbling in the occult - and Halloween is just that. Is it just a silly and harmless day to celebrate the occult (more like a month now)? If it is, what does God's Word say about that? Objections might look like this: "I had a great time on Halloween as a kid. It's fun and harmless". So let's say that's true, that you had fun. We want that for our kids, as long as it doesn't hurt them. But equating this day with "harmless" isn't sound thinking and here's why: by teaching our precious kids that dabbling in the occult is harmless at a young age, we leave them open later in life to entertain the notion that astrology, altered states, necromancy, ouija boards and any New Age practices are also harmless. If I think like the devil, I'm thrilled that parents have dropped their guard to give place to dark arts. What a sobering thought.  Lots to think about as we raise our kids and grands with a biblical worldview that should protect and guard their hearts above all.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A
