"Your Party" seems to be falling apart. Can it be salvaged. And does it need to be, with Zack Polanski's Greens providing a challenger from a similar political space? Also - will US tech giants invest in the UK or exploit it? He mull the investment deal struck during the US President's state visit. Plus - has Trump discovered a business backdoor hack to the constitution? And might cancelling critics backfire? Alex and Naomi talk through the week's news. ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** “It's partly generational, but not just about their ages. Corbyn is a slow-horses sort of guy and Sultana is a come-on-guys person. And with Zack Polanski hitting the ground running, I think she has good reason to want to go faster.” “The King's Speech was superb: holding the line on disagreements without being argumentative, flattering without being unctuous. Then Trump gets up to respond and essentially reads out what I think might have been the Wikipedia page for the UK.” “Jimmy Kimmel could have the top podcast tomorrow. Maybe it is a huge strategic error to kick these big names out of legacy media and into spaces that the right wing has dominated and progressives have ignored, with 50 times the potential audience, AND armed with a legitimate grievance.” “We've just got to stop taking the right wing at its word on free speech. What they actually want is to be insulated from any criticism. This is a fundamentally political story that echoes what we've seen from Meta, from X, from Amazon, from Tesla, whose fortune is tied up in their relationship with Trump.” Buy something from our bookshop here.

This podcast explores the story "Jesus Heals the Paralyzed Man," Mark 2:1-12.
Sunday School by Pastor Wayman Mitchell
The Rev. Canon George Maxwell leads this class.When we ask the question, “What is Anglican spirituality, and where does it begin?”, many instinctively look to the English Reformation. We think of Thomas Cranmer, the Book of Common Prayer, and the Elizabethan Settlement. These are indeed crucial moments, shaping the way Anglicans pray and order their life with God. But Rowan Williams often invites us to look further back, beneath the surface of the 16th century, into the deeper soil from which Anglican spirituality grows. He points out that Anglicanism is best described as a reformed Catholicism — a tradition that holds onto the catholic inheritance of the early church while reshaping it in the light of reform. If that is true, then Anglican spirituality cannot be confined to Cranmer and Hooker. It must be traced to the fathers and mothers of the early church, and in particular, to the great spiritual experiment of the desert tradition in Egypt, Syria, and Palestine in the 3rd and 4th centuries. Rowan Williams describes the desert tradition as a school of prayer and discipleship that continues to shape Christian life today. In his vision, the desert is the common wellspring of Christian spirituality — Benedictine, Catholic, Orthodox, and yes, Anglican. This Sunday we follow that line of thought: to see how the desert mothers and fathers, through monastic tradition, gave Anglicans their particular way of praying, believing, and living. We trace the journey from the desert of Antony and Syncletica, through Cassian and Benedict, to the cadences of Morning and Evening Prayer, to the lives of George Herbert and Evelyn Underhill, and finally, to Rowan Williams' own reframing for our age.
Ever feel like the Bible hints at a world we barely talk about—angels, demons, divine councils; references to other texts that didn't make it into our canon of scripture? You're not imagining things. In this episode of Freedom Table, Joshua Finley and Joey Sarlo pull back the curtain on the unseen realm of Scripture and what it means for us today.History. Prophecy. Culture.The text and the subtext. The deep dives and the one-liners. Off the stage and around the table with @joshuajfinley & @joeysarlo

Jimmy Carter: More Than A President with Andrew Greer - Episode 596 - Voices in my Head (the Rick Lee James Podcast) On this episode of Voices in My Head: The Rick Lee James Podcast, I welcome Andrew Greer—author, editor, musician, and filmmaker—whose latest projects center on the faith and legacy of President Jimmy Carter. Andrew moved to Plains, Georgia, where he came to know Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter personally in their latter days. From that experience, he has edited More Than a President: Sundays with Jimmy Carter, a new book of Carter's Sunday School lessons, and directed Plainspoken, the PBS documentary exploring the history and heart of Plains. In our conversation, Andrew shares how his own faith journey led him to Plains, what he learned from the Carters' witness, and how both the book and the film preserve a legacy of humility, service, and hope for future generations. https://www.andrew-greer.com/more-than-a-president https://www.andrew-greer.com/more-than-a-president ----more---- Rick Has A Book!

Why do we keep falling back into the same broken patterns—even after meeting Jesus?Most of us want Jesus to take away the bad stuff, our addictions, our shame, our past. And sometimes, He does. But what happens next? If we don't intentionally fill the empty space with something better, something holy, something of the Spirit—then the darkness just moves back in, stronger than before. In Part 2 of the 35-Day Challenge, Jim Burgen digs deep into the roots of sin, the spiritual realm we pretend doesn't exist, and what Jesus really came to defeat. This is not your Sunday School version of the Bible. This is war, and it's personal.Jesus didn't just come to forgive you, He came to fill you.Through ancient texts, spiritual warfare, and real talk about depravity, Jim shows how Jesus tackles not one, but three curses that still haunt us today. The Cross wiped your slate clean, but the Holy Spirit is how you write a new story. If your life feels stuck in neutral—or worse, going backwards—it might be because you've only accepted half of what Jesus offers. The Spirit is your only hope. And the Church? It's not a building, it's a battle plan.

To celebrate the kickoff to the 2025 NFL season (Eagles -7.5 vs the Cowboys), we begin in the obvious place with a discussion of Orson Hyde's letter to the Missouri Republican in 1861, providing commentary on the Civil War. They read an email from a litner who shares how she used to be afraid of Church history and how the podcast has given her confidence in the face of anti-Mormon garbage, and Richard shares his feelings on the idea of putting Gospel and Church history topics “on a shelf”…spoiler alert, he doesn't like the expression.
