When we come to Luke 11:28-32, it appears that Jesus has finishedHis lessons on the subject of prayer and a crowd of both curious people and contentiousreligious leaders have “thickly gathered together” around Him and His disciples. It appears at the point thecrowd really begins to press in upon Jesus on every side and then He gives thema message of condemnation and judgement (vv. 29-36). Jesus was not impressed by the big crowds, but most likely,the disciples were. And because Jesus knew what was in their hearts of thereligious leaders and the crowd, in order to keep the Twelve from being swayedby "success," Jesus gave them some insights into what was reallyhappening as they ministered the Word to the large crowds of people thatsurrounded them. He reveals the unbelief of their hearts despite the signs thatHe had already given them over the past three years of His ministry in Galilee. Like so many people today who say, “Show me a miracle and Iwill believe”, the Jewish leaders kept asking Jesus for a sign to prove that Hewas the Messiah. The only sign He promised was "the sign of Jonah theprophet." What was the sign of Jonah? What was his story? Remember he disobeyGod's command to go to Nineveh and went the opposite direction to Tarshish. Godpunished him by putting him the belly of whale for three days and three nights.He repented and went to Nineveh with a message of coming judgement, and theyrepented. How interesting that Jonah was as displeased by the repentance ofNineveh as the religious leaders of the Lord's generation were at therepentance of people in all parts of the country!  Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites. He had been three daysand nights in what he called "the belly of hell." When he marchedthrough their streets, it was with a face livid and terrifying from the fierceaction of the gastric juices of the great fish. The man himself was as much themessage as the words that he proclaimed; he was a sign. "God will punishsin!" It was written all over the disobedient prophet. But there he was,alive from the dead, a living epistle. They could infer from that the fact that"God will pardon sinners." But Jonah was also a sign of the coming death, burial andresurrection of Jesus Christ! This is the greatest sign given by “a greaterthan Jonah”, Jesus Christ! It is the resurrection of our Lord that proves He isthe Messiah, the Son of God (Rom. 1:4), and this is what Peter preached toIsrael on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:22ff). The witness of the early churchwas centered on Christ's resurrection (Acts 1:22; 3:15; 5:30-32; 13:32-33).Jonah was a living miracle and so is our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus also reminded them of Solomon and the “Queen of theSouth”. The emphasis here is on the wisdom of a king, not the works of aprophet. The Queen of Sheba traveled many miles to hear the wisdom of Solomon(1 Kings 10), but here was the very Son of God in their midst, and the Jewswould not believe His words! Even if Jesus had performed a sign, it would nothave changed their hearts. They needed the living wisdom of God, but they werecontent with their stale religious tradition. When Jonah preached to theGentiles in Nineveh, they repented and were spared. When a Gentile queen heardSolomon's wisdom, she marveled and believed. If, with all their privileges, theJews did not repent, then the people of Nineveh and the Queen of Sheba wouldbear witness against them in the last judgment. The Lord gave Israel so manyopportunities, yet they would not believe (Luke 13:34-35; John 12:35-41). Today, we have the complete Bible, and the historical factsof the resurrection of Jesus Christ, yet still so many chose their sins andreligion over believing and putting their faith in Jesus Christ. How great willtheir condemnation and judgment be?

Wic Whitney is back for another conversation with Host Grant Smith. Wic is a musician who is sometimes labeled as a rapper, but blends the genres of hip hop, folk, soul, and a little rock to create his own unique sound. He's an advocate and voice for the LGBTQ+ community, and as a gay man himself, he uses his platform to help others become their true selves. Wic is as genuine and real as it gets, and that shines through in his music and his personal life!

Our guest on the Two Mikes was Mr. John Cribb, a veteran author from Spartanburg, South Carolina. Mr. Cribb is the author of a new book called The Rail Splitter: A Novel.This book of historical-fiction follows the life of Abraham Lincoln from his birth until he is on the threshold of the presidency. (Mr. Cribb's last book is called Old Abe, which covers the last five years of Lincoln's life in which he served as president.)Our discussion focuses on Lincoln's truly spectacular rise in the world. As a youth, his father needed him on the farm, and as Lincoln said his education was a case of “the littles, a little here and a little there.” Mr. Cribb's notes that adding up Lincoln's total time at school tops out at about a year. Lincoln was absolutely a self-learner and not just in the basics. He taught himself Euclid's geometry, the law via Blackstone's Commentaries, and persevered through life to become a top-flight lawyer and the U.S. president.On the issue of slavery, Lincoln claimed to not remember when he wasn't opposed to it, saying “if slavery isn't wrong, nothing is wrong.” He also, however, was opposed to the virulent hate- spewing of the abolitionists; the latter, of course, were key players in pushing the republic into civil war. Indeed, their consistent hate and accusations of a “Godless South” were in large part responsible in making the southerners – the leaders and the led – believe that there was no ground for compromise with the north.Lincoln was without question what was called at the time an “Anti-slavery Man,” but he and many others believed that the sudden freeing of the slaves would badly disrupt the Union, cause an enormous economic dislocation, and inject into the population an enormous number of slaves who were largely uneducated, lacking in employable skills, and who were still detested, perhaps more by northerners than by southerners.Lincoln's aim at the beginning of his presidency was not to free the slaves, but to contain the institution in the south and so prevent its spread to the new states and territories that were sure to enter the Union, while also working to build a joint north-south strategy to eradicate slavery over time and prepare Blacks to cope with the drastic change and new responsibilities that freedom would place upon them. Mr. Cribb concludes our discussion with a fascinating discussion about Lincoln as a man who, though he was never baptized or joined a church, attended Sunday services and was a deeply spiritual human being. There is always more to be said about Mr. Lincoln, and Mr. Cribb gives us all a good and well-written deal to read and consider, as well as to, perhaps, help the reader to begin to grow, or to rekindle, a strong interest in the history of their country and in the enigmatic Mr. Lincoln.In his two books on Lincoln, Mr. Cribb has given a gift to the nation, and especially its young, that is badly needed.

The brothers embark on a discussion centered around the 1989 Bruce Willis film: "In Country." Transporting us to a distinct era, that brief period between the late 80s and early 90s, the movie presents a snapshot of a post-Vietnam America. Against the backdrop of a senseless and devastating war, ordinary individuals grapple with its aftermath. Surprisingly understated and with seemingly low stakes, the film showcases remarkable performances that leave a lasting impact.Yet what sets "In Country" apart is its extraordinary nuance, defying easy categorization as a patriotic work. Despite this, it paradoxically emerges as intensely patriotic precisely because it possesses the audacity to confront the truth. It fearlessly explores America's soul-searching journey after perpetrating imperialist atrocities abroad. This intricate portrayal is far too nuanced to fit into a simplistic patriotic narrative, yet its very essence embodies a fervent patriotism rooted in the courage to embrace uncomfortable truths.Within the episode, the brothers fearlessly dissect the myriad layers of "In Country," unearthing its profound commentary. By delving into the macro issues at hand, such as race relations in America, they provide fresh perspectives that breathe new life into this perennially discussed classic. Join them as they navigate the depths of this thought-provoking film, illuminating how it manages to simultaneously challenge and reaffirm the nation's collective spirit.Instagram: @thirstyformorepresentsTwitter: @morethirstyJoin us on Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/thirstyformoreand YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUyVV223fWcNenwcwugHfmA

Davis was set to be put on trial and publicly made an example of in court in an epic way, as a consequence for the accusation of treason levied against him by the Federal Government. Additionally the North was counting on a verdict of guilty to put a seal of constitutional approval on its invasion of the South. But things wouldn't turn out as expected.Follow me on:Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCub_W83v0K8IAPdbKmElx1g Odyssee: https://odysee.com/@vice_signal:5?r=hMkwyZNi3fs2HJ6F96QhBHqF8MWnQqnFBitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/3SgJIq54ZZ0O/Rumble: https://rumble.com/account/content?type=allSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7HhXaN4jdOWvBO3lSIIXQF?si=74CvbnAlT-GdMvlVN5NYSw Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cancel-lincoln/id1611084856Twitter: https://twitter.com/cancellincoln Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cancellincoln/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/betrayalof1776/?ref=pages_you_manage

So much crap has happened and everyone keeps getting sick.

Just like the South's secession from the Union preceded the Civil War, the secession from the British Empire of the thirteen colonies that would become the United States in 1776, preceded the American Revolution. The only difference between these two secessions is that the Confederacy was prevented from acheiving its independence. But the principles behind each were the same: resistance to tyranny, Liberty, and self governance.Follow me on:Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCub_W83v0K8IAPdbKmElx1gOdyssee: https://odysee.com/@vice_signal:5?r=hMkwyZNi3fs2HJ6F96QhBHqF8MWnQqnFBitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/3SgJIq54ZZ0O/Rumble: https://rumble.com/account/content?type=allSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7HhXaN4jdOWvBO3lSIIXQF?si=74CvbnAlT-GdMvlVN5NYSw Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cancel-lincoln/id1611084856Twitter: https://twitter.com/cancellincolnInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cancellincoln/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/betrayalof1776/?ref=pages_you_manage

Michael Washburn is our guest to talk about his book Tom Petty's Southern Accents, part of the 33 1/3 series published by Bloomsbury Academic.Tom Petty's album Southern Accents was released on this month back in 1985. This is my personal favorite Petty album but this book isn't one that praises everything about this particular Petty recording. It's an honest assessment of the music, which Michael says is "a mix of classic rock songs mixed with nearly unlistenable 80s music".Michael also gets into Petty's use of the iconography of the American Confederacy, something Petty soon came to regret. But Michael also says Southern Accents is an important album for Petty; a pivot point in his career. I ask Michael about that and his examination of how the record both grew out of and reinforced enduring but flawed assumptions about Southern culture and the Lost Cause of the Confederacy. We also get into the songs recorded during the album sessions but left off, our favorite deep track from the album and more.Purchase a copy of Tom Petty's Southern Accents through Bloomsbury HERE Listen to all of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers' Southern Accents album HERE Find out what Michael Washburn's personal alternate tracklisting of Southern Accents is HEREContact Michael Washburn at michael.a.washburn@gmail.comVisit the Booked On Rock Website HEREWatch exclusive video segments from the Booked On Rock podcast HERE Follow The Booked On Rock with Eric Senich:FACEBOOK TWITTER INSTAGRAM TIKTOK Support Your Local Bookstore!

The court historian written public school textbooks tend to not mention that when Union soldiers learned that their new proclaimed mission in the Civil War was ending slavery , a preponderance of them were incensed with Lincoln, and a sentiment of betrayal was widespread within the ranks. One of Lincoln's commanders of the army, “Fighting Joe Hooker,” in reaction to the Emancipation Proclamation wrote, "a large element of the army had taken sides against it, declaring that they would never have embarked in the war had they anticipated this action of the government."Follow me on:Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCub_W83v0K8IAPdbKmElx1gOdyssee: https://odysee.com/@vice_signal:5?r=hMkwyZNi3fs2HJ6F96QhBHqF8MWnQqnFBitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/3SgJIq54ZZ0O/Rumble: https://rumble.com/account/content?type=allSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7HhXaN4jdOWvBO3lSIIXQF?si=74CvbnAlT-GdMvlVN5NYSw Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cancel-lincoln/id1611084856Twitter: https://twitter.com/cancellincolnInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cancellincoln/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/betrayalof1776/?ref=pages_you_manage

Ultimately it was the propagation of good political optics for Lincoln which was the intention behind issuing the Emancipation Proclamation, and not benevolence towards slaves. The Proclamation would serve three main purposes. The first, as discussed previously, was to inspire slave uprisings in the Confederacy, which would divert resources and manpower from its fighting force if successful. The second, as mentioned, was rebranding the North's cause in the war into a moral crusade palatable to the Yankee intelligentsia , rather than the real political one, which would mitigate resistance to it. The third, and far less known yet perhaps most significant reason, was a diplomatic one.

The Union as established by the Founding Fathers was a voluntary one, made up of thirteen sovereign states, and the Southern States no longer wanted to remain in it. However this didn't stop Lincoln from invading and forcing them to stay using violence, much like an abusive husband might brutalize his wife to prevent her from leaving him, and then rape her as punishment.

After the war, most former slaves had no other way of making a living other than sharecropping or tenant farming, basically a system in which land owners would lend land to poor farmers in return for either regular rent payments, or half of their crop yield every season. As author and New York Times contributor Phillip Leigh writes, “Sharecropping was not a choice freely made by Southerners after the Civil War.…It was compelled by a regional capital shortage when the only alternative was starvation.” He also writes "If not chattel [legal] slavery, it was a peonage system that enslaved the cropper to a cycle of annual debts and perpetual backbreaking labor. Children as young as four regularly worked in the fields. Poor health was a consequence.”Follow me on:Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/3SgJIq54ZZ0O/Odyssee: https://odysee.com/@vice_signal:5?r=hMkwyZNi3fs2HJ6F96QhBHqF8MWnQqnFRumble: https://rumble.com/account/content?type=allTwitter: https://twitter.com/cancellincolnFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/cancelproofideas/?ref=page_internal

By the early 1800s, most of the Northern U.S. States either abolished slavery by statute or enacted laws to gradually end it, but mostly not out of concern for the well being of blacks, or a belief in racial equality. New Englanders widely believed that blacks were inferior beings, not worthy of sharing a society with, even as slaves; and that any intermingling with them would lead to contamination of their ideal white Christian society. Abraham Lincoln also believed this.Follow me on:Youtube: https://youtu.be/k02IgiBE3q4Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/3SgJIq54ZZ0O/Odyssee: https://odysee.com/@vice_signal:5?r=hMkwyZNi3fs2HJ6F96QhBHqF8MWnQqnFRumble: https://rumble.com/account/content?type=allTwitter: https://twitter.com/cancellincolnFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/cancelproofideas/?ref=page_internal

Massachusetts was the first British colony in America to legalize slavery in 1638. For more than 200 years African slavery existed in Boston, along with Newport, Rhode Island, where by the mid 18th century, 1/3 of its population were slaves. In 1750 there were three times as many slaves in Connecticut as there were in Georgia, and four times as many in Massachusetts. Nearly all New England aristocrats used slaves for farm and household labor. In 1703 more than 42% of New York City households owned slaves.

The Emancipation Proclamation is not what the general public is led to believe it is. This is because it did not actually free any slaves upon its issuance, stating, “all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free.” The dictate issued by President Lincoln during the Civil War freed slaves only in territories held by the Confederacy, which, as implied, the Union did not have even the slightest control over. Not only that, but it did not free the over 450,000 slaves in Union States which Lincoln did control, including those owned by his Generals Ulysses Grant snd Sherman.

EPISODE 24 - Today we welcome novelist, Paul Attaway and discuss the series of fictional books that he is building and the journey he is on as an author.What It Means To Be A Southern StorytellerOn the simplest level, I define myself as a “Southern Storyteller” because my stories are either set in the South and/or involve characters that are born in the South. But there's more to it than that. Every part of this country possesses its' own unique charm and beauty as well as its' own sordidness and ugliness, the South maybe more so. I hope to write stories that depict what Southerners are like and what life is like in the South and do so with compelling characters that may at times embody the good, the bad, the beautiful and the ugly. But I have hope and so it is my goal that readers, after finishing one of my stories, will put the book down filled with hope as well. Purchase Paul's Books in person on onlineBook: Blood in the Low CountryAbout the book - Step back in time a bit. The year is 1973, and by all appearances, Monty Atkins has a wonderful life. Along with his wife, Rose, the girl of his dreams he met in college, they are raising two boys, Eli and Walker. Humble but competitive, Monty is slowly but steadily building a profitable and well-respected law practice in beautiful Charleston, SC. His hard work, steeped in a deeply ingrained Protestant work ethic, is paying dividends in the form of a second home on Kiawah Island and membership in the exclusive Wappoo Country Club.Rose, an aspiring socialite, chairs committees and works tirelessly for her church and the school their boys attend. So, yes, Monty Atkins has a wonderful life, until he doesn't. In a flash, everything changes when a brutal murder and a shocking betrayal turns their world upside down. Brewing beneath the surface lurks a conspiracy of lies about who they are and what they believe.The wellspring of deception and ensuing dysfunction that threatens to destroy all they have built is Rose's past, a past she can't outrun. In the hunt for the killer, Monty draws the ire of one of Charleston's most prominent businessmen, who sets out to destroy him.Monty now faces a multi-front battle, one to save his family, one to save his business and one to save his life. So, yes, step back in time and immerse yourself in a taut, tension-filled thriller where the genteel veneer of life in theSouth lived by those for whom Sunday Brunch at the Club is as holy as that morning's church service is stripped away. Book: Eli's RedemptionAbout the book - In Eli's Redemption, Paul Attaway writes a novel that stands on its own but also picks up where he left off, at the exciting climax of Blood in the Low Country, his debut set in Charleston, S. C. in the 1970s. In Eli's Redemption, we catch up with Eli Atkins, betrayed and abandoned, and living in the Bahamas where he seeks refuge in a new identity. But angry, lonely, and adrift, he remains aloof, never allowing anyone close enough to hurt him. Paul's Website___Living The Next Chapterpodcast created by TrueMediaSolutions.ca

In this podcast, Vandor picks up where he left off in Part 1. He traces his family history back to his grandfather, who moved from Mobile, Alabama, to San Francisco around the time of the Second Migration and met his wife (Vandor's grandma) here in The City. She was born and raised here; he was a quiet, strong man who learned how to dress from his new wife. When he was two, ​Vandor's dad left the family. But he was surrounded by relatives and loved ones, most of them living in the same Victorian in Lower Pac Heights, on the lip of the Fillmore. Because his mom was young when she had Vandor, her own parents took over raising the boy. Family gatherings in the house were common, and there was always a lot to eat. Vandor talks about those meals as well as some of the neighborhood spots they'd get their produce and meat from. They're places that aren't around anymore, but the owners were often friends of the family. We turn to Vandor's teen years. He got into art, graffiti, and break-dancing in those days. He describes the contrast once he transferred from a private high school to Galileo, for him both socially and academically. In his junior year, his sister was born, his parents were fighting, and he relocated to the East Bay because his mom and his grandma were on bad terms. He began to struggle in his schoolwork. He was working at the Exploratorium. The next year, his senior year in high school, he was told he was one credit short of what was needed to graduate. He had befriended a photographer who also worked at the Exploratorium. They were set to attend and work at an event together, but Vandor got lost and missed it. It didn't matter, though. His friend had committed suicide. Shortly after that, the family found out they were losing their house in Pac Heights over a family quarrel. Despite all this, Vandor graduated high school. ​We end this episode with Vandor's thoughts on what it means to still be here in San Francisco. Follow Whack Donuts on Instagram.

Judy Blume once said "Librarians save lives: by handing the right book, at the right time, to a kid in need."    Librarians play an important role in the lives of those who love to read. But what if you had no access to a library nor books? Today we are discussing some heroic librarians that filled a gap in a time of great need in the South.    Under President Roosevlet, The Pack Horse Library initiative provided women jobs as  librarians sent deep into Appalachia on horseback to deliver books. The project was implemented by the Works Progress Administration (WPA), and today we are honoring these steel magnolias that saved lives in Kentucky through books.  Additional resources mentioned:  "That Book Woman" by Heather Henson  "Along a Storied Trail" by Ann H.

It was going to be called Marthasville, named for the town founder's wife Martha, but that changed at the last minute. What you'll hear in this episode is that there are some WEIRD names out there for towns all across the South.     Places to Connect: Sign up for mailing list HERE  Instagram @SteelMagnoliasPodcast Private Facebook Group https://bit.ly/32Kna4T      

Flatwoods is a small town in Braxton County, West Virginia, located just one mile from exit 67 off Interstate 79, with a small population of just 277 people. This town also served as the origin of West Virginia & Pittsburgh Railroad's Sutton Branch, but its not the railroads that make this small town so famous, the community became nationally known for the Flatwoods monster UFO incident, or also known as the Green Monster.[FOLLOW ON SOCIAL MEDIA & MORE]TWITTER: www.twitter.com/SouthernOddPodINSTAGRAM: www.instagram.com/SouthernOddPodJARED'S TWITTER: www.twitter.com/jared_ordisJARED'S INSTAGRAM: www.instagram.com/jared.ordis[ADDITONAL INFORMATION]Questions or Business Inquiry, Email Us @ ordisstudios@gmail.comResearched was used for this episode of Southern Oddities, and we couldn't have made it possible without the journalism and dedication from these awesome sources of information: Wikipedia [Flatwoods, West Virginia] Wikipedia [Flatwoods Monster] Roadside America [Story 61443] Roadside America [Story 61451] Roadside America [29458]"Southern Oddities" is created & produced by Jared Ordis, an Ordis Studios production.
