Ridley Scott’s new epic “Napoleon” sure is divisive and polarizing. It takes two historians to get the definitive judgement on the movie, and it’s greatly helped that we are in agreement: this movie is either way too short or way too long. Either one.

Last time Preston invited Trey to do a quiz on Sporcle and the questions were not that great...so I thought: Why not have a re-do of the quiz that Preston gave me many years ago but as a nice bit of competition between Trey and myself and well...here we are. While Trey was on with us we also decided to discuss Reddit user Zionius' post about the A Feast for Crows outline (This is different than the drafts from Gsteff last year). 0:00 - Quiz 48:54 - AFFC Outline Links for the Reddit Post and Preston's own Quiz are here: The quiz: https://www.sporcle.com/games/PrestonSweet/sweetrobins-a-song-of-ice-and-fire-quiz-number-1 The Reddit post: reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/18519cz/spoilers_extended_grrms_20032004_outline_for_affc

In this special Thanksgiving bonus episode, I read an excerpt from Norman Cantor's Inventing the Middle Ages, which is a history of 20th century medieval scholarship. In this book he describes the ways in which the social and cultural contexts of 20th century medievalists were projected back into the Middle Ages, shaping our historical understanding of that period. The two most influential American medievalists were Charles Haskins and Joseph Strayer, both of whom were dedicated Wilsonians and whose scholarship on medieval government suspiciously conformed to Woodrow Wilson's theory of government. Haskins was one of three academics who accompanied Wilson during his post-WWI tour of Europe and was in part responsible for creating the dysfunction that led to WWII and the Cold War. Strayer found himself working for the CIA during the 1950s. This is a really challenging and interesting read that makes us think about both how we interpret history and how contemporary intellectual trends influence the way we understand reality.  Media Referenced:Inventing the Middle Ages, Norman CantorThe Quest for the Historical Jesus, Albert Schweitzer Powers and Thrones, Dan JonesHenry Cadbury and Modernizing Jesus Episode: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/henry-cadbury-anti-war-biblical-scholar-warned-against-modernizing-jesus/  The Protestant Libertarian Podcast is a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute and a part of the Christians For Liberty Network.

A throne addiction is when a person refuses to allow God to be the King of their life; they will not relinquish their throne to the only rightful authority to our lives. The addict to the throne has fully bought into the first lie of Satan—you can be a god (Genesis 3:5). After the fall, humanity came with a pre-wired craving to a throne addiction. We call it total depravity, which is why we must be born a second time (John 3:7). The bad news is that becoming born again does not insulate us from the encroachments of a throne addiction.

The holy Scriptures, from beginning to end, are filled with mentions and descriptions of the Heavenly Host: not to believe in angels is not to believe in the Bible. In the heavens they behold the face of God, eternally hymning His glory. They are intimately involved with mankind as well: an angel is appointed guardian over every nation, and over every individual Christian. The Archangels Michael and Gabriel, whom we especially commemorate today along with all the other bodiless powers, have served as messengers to man. "Michael" means "Who is like God?";"Gabriel" means "God is mighty." Gabriel especially was appointed to announce the coming of Christ in the flesh.   There is no reckoning the number of the Heavenly Host, though we know that they are a great multitude. They are ranked in nine orders, called Thrones, Cherubim, Seraphim, Dominions, Powers, Authorities, Principalities, Archangels and Angels. "Angel" means "herald" or "messenger" and is properly applied only to those who serve as messengers from God to man; but the name is often applied to the entire host of bodiless powers.   Though bodiless, the angels are finite in knowledge, extension and power. The angel Lucifer, once the highest of them all, desired to be like God Himself, and was cast forever from the presence of God, along with countless others who followed him. These we now know as Satan and the demons. (Needless to say, they are not commemorated today).

Jamie & Evan analyze the two debut King's of Westeros in the first seasons of Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon. Mark Addy's legendary turn as Robert the Usurper, and Paddy Considine's harrowing turn as Viserys the Peaceful. A king in the shadow of an evil tyrant haunted by his past, while another is living in the shadow of one of the greatest kings and is obsessed with the future. We get into snubbed Emmy nominations, Michael Scott, and adaptation choices as we analyze these two great characters and performances.

“You'll poop better, sleep better, and feel better.” - Dr. MarisolI'm going to put this right here at the top so you don't even have to scroll for it. After listening to this episode, you're going to want to get your Castor Oil pack TODAY. https://shop.queenofthethrones.com/truewellnessglobal Do you ever feel like you're doing everything you're supposed to for your health and you just can't figure out what is wrong with your body? You've tried every supplement known to man, a cocktail of supplements even, and nothing seems to be working? But you've heard about castor oil, which you've maybe even tried, and you wonder if it can make a difference in your health?The Queen of Thrones herself, Dr. Marisol, was as skeptical as you probably are. Her exact words were, “this is too Woo-Woo.” As an ND who had her own health issues kick her down (IBS, PCOS, EBV, and more!), she had to face this tough question: “How am I going to get [my patients] better when I can't even get myself better?”So, she finally gave in and explored Castor Oil.

Back are we, better late than never, to wrap up with Ahsoka Episode 8 and all of Season 1.

Back are we for the penultimate episode of Ahsoka

Every 13 minutes, a woman dies of breast cancer. And this unnecessary epidemic affects men, too. Today, you'll hear a fascinating interview with a woman on a mission to empower people to do more than just survive breast cancer, but become radiantly healthy; Dr. Toni Galardi. She's not only a holistic psychotherapist with a PhD in psychology, but a remarkable individual who cured herself of breast cancer. Dr. Galardi is a prolific author with three books under her belt, including her latest one titled BreastQuake: 10 Steps to Awakening from Breast Cancer. In this episode, we delve deep into the esoteric realm of breast cancer; discussing alternative methods for treatment, lowering the risk of breast cancer, and exploring groundbreaking studies that shed light on the incredible healing potential of consciousness within the body. You see, it's essential to understand that psychology plays a crucial role in the context of cancer. While psychology doesn't cause cancer, ignoring the mind-body connection in the conversation is a missed opportunity. Our bodies possess a remarkable intelligence, residing within our mitochondria, and a distributed consciousness that affects our well-being. So, even if you don't have breasts or breast cancer isn't on your radar, this conversation offers profound insights into psychology's impact on health and wellness.Dr. Toni Galardi is deeply passionate about helping women navigate their cancer treatment plans, emphasizing the importance of aligning with one's passions, as she believes that passion holds significant healing potential. Throughout this episode, you'll learn about Dr. Galardi's personal journey with breast cancer, the eye-opening studies she uncovered regarding the high cost of treatment, her recommendations for more affordable (and even free) healing tools, and her unique approach to harmonizing the energetic and emotional aspects of the human experience to combat cancer and reduce your risk. I want to extend my sincere appreciation to Dr. Toni Galardi for her courage in authoring this groundbreaking book and fearlessly addressing topics that some may question. She calls it as she sees it, and that's precisely why her insights are so valuable.(02:27) The Role of Shame & Love in the Cancer Recovery Journey• Read: Cancerpreneur by Mike Koenigs• What Toni decided to do when she got her breast cancer diagnosis• The data around how women really feel about their breasts• Who does and doesn't have shame around their breasts• How Toni's shamanic training and somatic experience came into her healing process• The World is Your Petri Dish with Bruce Lipton – #336• The compelling link between shame and breast cancer• Working with consciousness in the body to cure diagnoses• Developing the muscle of dream recall• Intuition is Not a Feeling – Joy Martina – #574• Loving your breasts into cancer remission(19:26) Optimizing Diet, Lifestyle & Emotional Well-being for Breast Cancer Resilience• Diet changes to implement when diagnosed with breast cancer• How to alkaline your diet & limit acidic foods• Should you avoid dairy or soy if you have breast cancer?• Exploring what the cancer personality looks like• Studies of the impact of negative life events on cancer diagnoses• Energetic cleansing and hygiene tips(35:20) Empowering Self-Care & Healing Tools for Breast Cancer Prevention & Recovery• Diagnostic test recommendations to see if you're at risk• Queen of Thrones castor oil packs • Using thermography• Read: The Power of Eight by Lynn McTaggart• The high cost of breast cancer treatment compared to other cancers• Using the free tool of the power of eight to heal breast cancer • How toxic relationships & childhood trauma play a role in breast cancer• Watch: A Call to Courage with Brene Brown on Netflix• How to deal with trolls on social mediaResourcesDave Asprey's NEW Book ‘Smarter Not Harder' is out now: https://daveasprey.com/books Website: drtonigalardi.comInstagram:@drtonigalardiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dr-toni-galardi-909a5a7Facebook: facebook.com/drtoniThe Human Upgrade is produced by Crate Media.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Thrones are not designed to be welcoming places. They are either telling people to be impressed or to be afraid. The throne of Jesus is unique because He is unique. Jesus is unique because of what He has already accomplished – Jesus has already defeated satan, sin, and death. Jesus is unique because of what He is currently doing. He is interceding for us at the right hand of God. Therefore we should approach the throne of grace not in a fearful or arrogant posture, but boldly!

“Amen, amen, I say to you, you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.” John 1:51In Heaven, we will see all things as God sees them. That full perspective will be beyond glorious. And among the many things that will amaze us from the perspective of Heaven is the incredibly powerful ways that the celestial beings participate in the bringing forth of the Kingdom of God. The Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominions, Virtues, Powers, Principalities, Archangels and Guardian Angels all cooperate with God's grace in ways similar to how every member of an orchestra works together to produce a single piece of beautiful music. God is the conductor, but these celestial beings participate in the grand fulfillment of the will of God, acting as living instruments of His divine grace.Today's feast honors three of the great archangels mentioned in Scripture: Michael, Gabriel and Raphael. The Archangel Michael is described as a protector in the Old Testament Book of Daniel and as one who does battle with satan in the Books of Revelation and Jude. In Revelation, Michael casts satan out of Heaven along with the other fallen angels. The Archangel Gabriel is spoken of also in the Book of Daniel as one who interprets Daniel's vision. In the New Testament, he is identified as the one who appears to the high priest Zechariah while Zechariah is offering sacrifice in the temple. In that appearance, Gabriel revealed to Zechariah that his wife would have a child, even though she was advanced in years. Gabriel is perhaps best known as the one sent to the Blessed Virgin Mary to reveal to her that she will become the mother of the Savior of the World. Lastly, the Archangel Raphael is referred to in the Old Testament Book of Tobit and is said to have been sent to bring healing to Tobit's eyes.As we honor these three archangels, we can be certain that they are three of a countless number of other angelic beings who cooperate with God, bringing forth His grace and His will into our world. Try to imagine that profound truth. Some angelic beings build up the Kingdom of God by devoting their existence to the perpetual worship of God before His throne. The highest of these are the Seraphim. Other angelic beings build up the Kingdom by bringing forth God's grace and truth to us, intervening in our lives in accord with God's will. These are especially the guardian angels. The archangels, three of whom we honor today, especially have the task of communicating to us the most important messages and graces from God. Reflect, today, upon the glorious reality of the whole host of the celestial beings. Specifically call upon the mediation of these three celestial beings whose names we know, Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, as well as upon the mediation of our guardian angels and all others celestial beings. By doing this, we not only entrust ourselves to their loving care, but we also make an act of faith in God by expressing our belief that God has chosen to use these celestial beings to bring forth His Kingdom. By themselves, angels are powerless to act. But since they act only in unison with the will of God, their mediation is as powerful as the grace of God, since it is God Who works through them. Acknowledge them today, call upon their mediation and profess your faith in the glorious work that they do to build up God's Kingdom.Most glorious Archangels Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, please do come to my aid. I entrust myself, my family, our Church and the entire world to your loving mediation. Please bring forth God's grace into our lives, communicate God's Word and His holy Will, protect us from all harm and bring healing to those in need. Angels of God, pray for us. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2023 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.
