The same instincts that make a great lawyer can be the exact thing keeping them from asking for help. In this encore episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Brian Cuban, an attorney, author, and long-term recovery advocate, for a raw account of the depression, eating disorder, and addiction that nearly ended his life, and the moment he finally chose to fight for it. Brian pulls back the curtain on what drives so many lawyers toward substance abuse in silence, and why the legal profession's culture of strength makes it one of the hardest places to ask for help. This is a candid look at what recovery actually requires, and what it means to build a profession where struggling colleagues don't have to hide. Here's what you'll learn: Why lawyers face a higher risk of addiction, and why the profession makes it so hard to admit it How to spot the early warning signs before they become a rock-bottom moment What it takes to build a compassionate community that helps colleagues before they have to hit bottom Brian walked back from the edge.

There is a war within Conservatism between the Post-Liberal movement and the Libertarians. It is a battle over what governments role is in promoting the "Common Good". Let's look at what the Biblical role of government is and see if either side fit it.

In Week 4 of The War Within, Pastor Chris Zauner teaches from John 15:1–17 about what real spiritual transformation looks like.Change does not come from trying harder, relying on willpower, or managing our behavior. It comes from abiding in Jesus. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit apart from the vine, we cannot experience the life of Jesus while remaining disconnected from His presence.This message explores why connection comes before production, why spiritual fruit is received rather than achieved, and how God uses pruning seasons to prepare us for greater fruitfulness. Pain is not always punishment, and struggle is not always evidence that God is distant. Sometimes the Father is forming something in us that we cannot yet see.The answer to the war within is not greater self-reliance, but deeper dependence on Christ. Jesus is not calling us to become stronger on our own. He is calling us to come closer, remain in His love, and allow His life to flow through us.Watch Week 4 of The War Within and discover how abiding in Jesus leads to lasting transformation from the inside out.

In this sermon, Pastor Ben Mandrell addresses the problems created by our sinful nature as well as the remedy that comes from the grace of God.

Why do we keep returning to the very things Jesus has set us free from? If the Holy Spirit is transforming us and sin no longer has the final word, why do old patterns, temptations, and desires still pull us back?In Week 3 of our series, The War Within, Pastor Casey Olsen walks through 2 Peter 2:20–22 to explore one of the most honest questions every follower of Jesus faces. Looking at Peter's sobering image of a dog returning to its vomit, this message reveals that the deepest battle against sin is not merely about behavior but about the heart. Beneath every temptation is a deeper desire, and beneath every recurring struggle is the question of what we truly believe will give us life.Drawing from James 1, Genesis 3, and the writings of Augustine, this sermon shows how temptation begins long before sinful actions. Our desires themselves are not the problem; the problem is when those desires become disordered and seek fulfillment apart from God. Rather than simply asking God to forgive our actions, we are invited to pray for something deeper: that He would purify our hearts, reorder our loves, and change the parts of us that still believe life can be found outside of Christ.This message offers both conviction and hope. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, God is not only forgiving our sins but transforming our desires, reshaping our hearts, and making us into the people He created us to be. If you've ever struggled with recurring sin, shame, addiction, anxiety, bitterness, lust, control, or wondered why you keep falling into the same patterns, this sermon points you back to the life-changing grace of Jesus.Ultimately, the gospel reminds us that our identity is not found in our failures or our deepest struggles. In Christ, we are made new, and the Holy Spirit is faithfully at work changing what we love so that our lives increasingly reflect the heart of Jesus.If this message encouraged you, be sure to like this video, subscribe to the channel, and share it with someone who needs the hope of the gospel today.#WhyDoIKeepGoingBack #TheWarWithin #PastorCaseyOlsen #2Peter2 #James1 #Romans7 #Romans8 #ChristianSermon #BibleTeaching #GraceCityChurch #HolySpirit #FreedomInChrist #ChristianLiving #SpiritualGrowth #Faith #JesusChrist #Gospel #Sanctification #BiblicalTruth #ChristianFaith

Is change actually possible, or are we destined to repeat the same struggles over and over again?In Week 2 of The War Within, Pastor Chris Zauner teaches from Romans 8 and reveals the difference between trying to change through willpower and experiencing true transformation through the Holy Spirit. Christianity is not simply about behavior modification, trying harder, or becoming a stronger version of yourself. It is about depending on the Spirit of God who lives within every follower of Jesus.Because of Christ, there is no condemnation. The verdict has already changed, the price has been paid, and you no longer have to fight for God's acceptance. You can fight from it. God did not only forgive your sin; He gave you His Spirit.This message is an invitation to stop relying on your own strength, surrender to the Holy Spirit, and trust that slow growth is still real growth. A long battle is not the same as a losing battle. The same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, and through His power, meaningful change is possible.Watch “Is Change Actually Possible?” from Pastor Chris Zauner in Week 2 of The War Within.

WINNING THE DAILY BATTLE WILL LEAD TO WINNING THE INNER WAR!

Jesus already broke the chains. But freedom does not survive in isolation. The Spirit teaches us to walk it out one surrendered step at a time, and the body helps us carry what is too heavy to carry alone. Stop fighting alone. #TheWarWithin

Why do I keep doing the very thing I hate? In the first message of our new sermon series, The War Within, Pastor Chris Zauner opens Romans 7 to explore the internal battle every believer faces between the flesh and the Spirit.In this sermon, Why Do I Do What I Hate?, Pastor Chris teaches that the Christian life is not free from struggle, but the struggle itself can be evidence that God is at work within us. Through Paul's honest words in Romans 7, we are reminded that sin is not just a bad habit to manage but a tyrant Christ came to defeat.This message speaks to anyone who has battled shame, temptation, failure, addiction, anger, lust, pride, comparison, or spiritual exhaustion. Pastor Chris explains the difference between conviction and condemnation, the limits of willpower, the purpose of God's law, and the hope found only in Jesus Christ.The war within is real, but it does not have the final word. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Jesus has the final word.Scripture: Romans 7:14–25Speaker: Pastor Chris ZaunerSeries: The War WithinMessage: Why Do I Do What I Hate?If this sermon encouraged you, share it with someone who needs to be reminded that their struggle is not their identity and that freedom is found in Jesus.

Tired of being reeled in by temptation? With God's help, you don't have to take the bait. First, there's desire within us. Next, there's deception around us. Today, Ron takes an in-depth look at what comes next as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “James: A Faith That Works.”  

You don't have to leave your house to find temptation. In fact, you don't even have to leave your own mind. Temptation is all around us.  On our TV screens, out in public, in our heads. Wherever we are, there it is. If you want a strategy to overcome temptation, or if you'd like to fine-tune the one you have, you've come to the right place. Because today, Ron takes you to the book of James to share some keys to winning this battle.  

In this episode of the Explaining History Podcast, I explore the striking parallels between the British Labour Party's war on Jeremy Corbyn and the Democrat establishment's growing fear of Zohran Mamdani – a new kind of left politics that refuses to be bullied.We begin with the uncomfortable truth that much of what passes for "liberalism" in American politics – and "moderation" in British politics – is a defence of wealthy interests dressed up in progressive language. The Democrats and the post-Thatcher Labour Party share a common DNA: they believe in markets, they court Wall Street and Silicon Valley, and they have systematically abandoned any meaningful commitment to redistributing wealth and power.Then we turn to the Corbyn story – an object lesson for the American left. Between 2015 and 2020, a genuinely anti-austerity movement swept through the Labour Party, only to be destroyed from within by a coordinated campaign of sabotage. The Labour right, funded by billionaire donors and organised through secretive groups like Labour Together, waged a rolling coup against their own leader – not because they disagreed with his policies, but because he threatened to actually implement them.Now we see similar dynamics unfolding in New York, where Zohran Mamdani has emerged as a powerful left voice. Mamdani is running on a platform of material issues – rent, childcare, transport – that directly address the crises ordinary people face. Unlike some on the centre-left, he has not thrown marginalised communities under the bus to win elections. He refuses to waver on Palestine. He has shown that a popular left platform is possible – and that is precisely why the establishment fears him.**Topics covered:**- The ideological collapse of the Democrats and Labour Party- Neoliberalism, austerity, and the abandonment of social democracy- The Corbyn years and the internal sabotage of the Labour left- The rise of Zohran Mamdani in New York- How the centre-left handles the left – the lessons of Corbyn- The fear that democratic socialism might actually work---*If you enjoy the podcast, please consider supporting us – we are migrating from Patreon to Substack.

Ephesians 2:1-10

"The mission of a nonfiction writer is to get the damn thing done," says Wil Haygood, author of several books, including his latest The War Within A War: The Black Struggle in Vietnam and at Home.I'm so thrilled to welcome back Wil Haygood to the show to talk about and celebrate his latest book The War Within a War: The Black Struggle in Vietnam and at Home. It's published by Knopf.Wil is one of the most accomplished journalists and authors working in American letters and just a good-ass dude. He's the author of several books including The Butler (which was made into a movie), Showdown, The Harlem Renaissance, In Black and White, Sweet Thunder, and Colorization.He and I both have ties to the Goucher College MFA in Creative Nonfiction Program and he was generous enough to blurb my first book, Six Weeks in Saratoga, and it's those little things like that that can make an insecure, low-on-confidence person like myself feel like a king for a day.Had a great time catching up with Wil. He was on the podcast back on Ep. 295 when I interviewed him as part of Goucher's winter residency, so that's a fun one to check out. When we spoke, the U.S. had just started bombing Iran in a senseless barrage of violence that appears to have been a monumental loss for the U.S., so that is some of the context of this conversation as we talk about Vietnam and how this country still wrestles with the legacy of it. Wil is one of the good ones and so happy you get to hear him chat about: How he needs the research to be finished before he writes Exploring the riddles of America His encounters with the late great David Halberstam How luck and fortune come into play Shoeleather reporting Tape recorders and notebooks The stirring cover of this book Why this country still grapples with the Vietnam War Highlighting untold stories of women who served during Vietnam And what kept him going through the doubtStick around for a parting shot Chuckanut conference prep and an update on the forthcoming audio magazine.

1 John 2:15-17

Season 2, Episode 119In this episode, Michael and Zach continue their series on sin, desire, identity, and holiness by examining the biblical doctrine of concupiscence and the ongoing struggle against indwelling sin. Building on the previous discussion of original sin and fallen human nature, the conversation addresses a difficult question: What should Christians think about sinful desires that seem to arise without conscious choice? Drawing from passages such as James 1, Romans 7, Galatians 5, Hebrews 4, and the Tenth Commandment, the episode explores the distinction between external temptation and inward corruption, the historic debate over whether sinful desire is itself sin, and why the Reformers insisted that disordered desires must be taken seriously as part of humanity's fallenness. Along the way, Michael and Zach discuss the sinlessness of Christ, the doctrine of impeccability, the reality of remaining corruption in the believer, and the Spirit-empowered battle of sanctification. The episode concludes with a message of both honesty and hope: the presence of sinful desire is not proof that grace is absent, but neither is it something to celebrate. Rather, the Christian life is a real war against sin in which God progressively transforms His people through the gospel, His Spirit, and the ordinary means of grace.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/M9nVPTdYieUMerch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

Nobody plans the fall. The relapse, the blowup, the secret — it never gets scheduled, and when it comes, shame whispers the same thing every time: pull away, hide, handle it alone. That's the enemy's whole game. You will fall — but falling isn't failing, and you were never meant to get back up by yourself. #TheWarWithin

What happens when the faith you inherited no longer looks like Jesus? Josif Wright joins Craig to talk about leaving Christian nationalism, questioning the flag-and-cross mixture, and learning to trust Christ instead of political power. Josif is a teacher, coach, hospice chaplain, church speaker, and author of The War Within: My Story. The conversation later turns toward his son Ryan's decade-long struggle with addiction. Craig also shares memories of his brother TJ, whose battle with alcohol ended in 2020. Together, they ask what families and churches can do when control fails, shame makes things worse, and love is the only faithful path left. They dig into: Why Christians should question “God-and-country” teaching Flags, pledges, voting, and divided allegiance Loving people beyond national and political teams Addiction from a parent's point of view Grace, identity, recovery, and harmful church labels

"Words, Tongues, and Tone, Oh My!" (Some audience participation has been edited out)Adult Sunday School Class Description:The Bible never treats speech as morally neutral. Words reveal the heart, expose our idols, and demonstrate who or what we truly serve. We will seek to examine the theology of speech through Scripture and the practical framework of Paul David Tripp's War of Words. We will consider how sinful desires corrupt our communication, how self righteousness fuels conflict, and how the Gospel alone brings redemption to our words. This class aims to cultivate repentance, humility, and Christ like speech within the Church.

Rev. Clay Wooten

James 4:1-12 - This message explores James 4:1–12 and teaches that the conflicts we experience with others often originate from sinful desires, pride, and divided loyalties within our own hearts. James calls believers to stop blaming external circumstances, humble themselves before God, submit to Him, resist the devil, and receive God's abundant grace.

Ninety-three percent of people die with their calling still inside them. Not because they didn't dream. Not because they weren't talented. But because the moment they stepped toward the arena of play, the moment real opportunity showed up, they short-circuited. The voltage was too high for the identity they were still running on. Today, we're not just talking about stepping in. We're talking about the identity transformation required to stay in, without burning out, selling out, or tapping out. Great morning, humans.

Can you truly change the world if you haven't first changed yourself? Gerard Powell was a CEO who took two companies public — and was quietly, persistently miserable. His journey from deep personal dissatisfaction and addiction to the discovery of plant medicine led to the founding of Rythmia Life Advancement Center in Costa Rica, the world's first medically licensed ayahuasca retreat. Nearly 24,000 guests later, with a 98.12% self-reported transformational success rate, Gerry joins Care More Be Better to make the case that the most powerful outward impact begins with the courageous work of inner transformation. He and host Corinna Bellizzi explore the soul fracture that no amount of success can heal, the arms dealers and billionaires who left Rythmia wanting to give their lives to helping others, and the message the medicine gave Gerry when he went to her crying about the state of the world: stop the war within yourself and the other wars will go away.

What if the same thing that nearly destroyed you is the reason you become unstoppable? In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Ken Rideout, world champion marathoner, former Wall Street trader, and recovering addict whose life reads like a story most people wouldn't believe. From a rough, blue-collar upbringing in Massachusetts to winning an ultramarathon across the Gobi Desert, Ken's path has been anything but linear. This conversation digs into how grit actually gets built, why money never filled the void he expected it to, and what it takes to bet on yourself when everyone around you says you can't. Here's what you'll learn: Why toughness isn't something you're born with, and how you can teach it to yourself Why money won't make you happier, even after going from broke to wealthy What it takes to turn a failure into the fire that drives everything after Ken built his comeback one decision at a time, and this episode shows you how to do the same.

The anger that fuels growth can become the thing that slows it down. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill answer three listener questions that reveal a pattern hiding beneath the surface of almost every high-achieving firm owner: the chip on the shoulder that fueled the climb is still there, long after the summit. From dark energy and manufactured adversity to betrayal, forgiveness, and the stories we carry from past partnerships, this episode unpacks how to evolve your fuel source without losing your edge. Here's what you'll learn: Why the dark energy that drives early success has a shelf life, and how to shift to a fuel source that doesn't cost you the people around you How to stop carrying past betrayal into your current relationships and reset your default to trust before it's broken Why rewriting the story of a painful falling out, through forgiveness and gratitude, is the move that actually sets you free You've already proven you can build something.

Good intentions aren't enough. Wanting to please God and live a clean life isn't enough. The incessant pressure we face is simply too much to withstand. It's like swimming against the tide. I may be able to hold on for a while, but sooner or later I'll grow weary and be carried along against my will. Unless we understand this and humbly accept our own weakness, we'll never live victorious Christian lives. This is what Paul is trying to show us. He wants us to see it's impossible to live godly lives without constantly receiving real, active help from God. So we'll understand why, he analyzes what happened to the human race when Adam sinned, and then he shows us what changes when we put our faith in Jesus... and what doesn't, that is, not yet. Knowing what does change and what doesn't change yet makes all the difference in the world. It explains why I fail and teaches me what I must do to succeed. Any Christian who has struggled with an addiction or been overwhelmed by compulsive emotions; any pastor or caregiver who has tried to help someone be released from bondage; anyone who's wondered why so many Christians fail to live the Christian life successfully will find the answer in these chapters (Ro 5-8). We and the entire church in the 21st century desperately need to understand them. Frankly, it's life and death. People are trapped and miserable, waiting for someone to teach them how to do what Paul says here.

She left witchcraft. She found Jesus. She thought the war was over. It was just getting started. In this follow-up to her first appearance on the show, Jess Phoenix gets into the spirit that most Christians do not want to talk about. The Pharisee spirit. Not a demon in the traditional sense, but a religious operating system that uses scripture as a weapon, gatekeeps the gospel, and drives new believers right back into the darkness they just left. Jess breaks down how this spirit differs from Jezebel, why it can say the name of Jesus without flinching, and how it targets anyone with a testimony and a platform.This conversation is a Christ-centered, honest look at the war happening inside the church. Jess shares what it has been like to be publicly attacked by Christians for her appearance, her past, and her refusal to play by their rules. She explains the difference between conviction and condemnation, why your emotions are not the same thing as discernment, and what the fruit of the Spirit actually looks like when it is present versus when it is being faked. If you came to faith expecting peace and found a battlefield instead, this one is for you.

With the world's attention on the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, a second front in the conflict has opened in Lebanon. Israel has pummeled an area in the southern outskirts of Beirut where Hezbollah holds sway, as well as southern Lebanon, with airstrikes, displacing almost one million people. Israel has also expanded its assault into other parts of Beirut, the capital. Christina Goldbaum, The New York Times's bureau chief in Beirut, explains how the crisis in Lebanon connects to the broader war, what Israel hopes to achieve and what people in Lebanon fear might come next.
