New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 123 The world of Woke doesn't believe in truth, not at all. It is a world in which truth may or may not exist but is, assuredly, inaccessible. In place of actual truth, Woke thinking believes there are narratives which are regarded as true because powerful groups have the capacity to make people believe in them as truths. Thus, a Woke perspective is that information is "narratives all the way down," resulting in a kind of unresolvable, subjectivist conflict and power struggle over everything. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay reads briefly from "The Book of Woke" (https://newdiscourses.com/2025/04/the-book-of-woke-introducing-critical-constructivism/) in order to help you understand this bizarre and dangerous (ultimately relativist) foundational perspective of Wokeness. Join him to see how they think and why it's so insane. Latest book!

Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) is looking to score a touchdown with its new NFL partnership, but will it be enough to turn around the struggling stock? Zach Warring discusses the deal and shares his thoughts on the company's ability to offset tariff pain and deliver on its growth potential. With ANF trading at 10 times earnings and showing signs of pricing power, Warring believes the stock is undervalued and could trade in the mid-teens.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Zach Warring says his firm's sell rating on TJX Co. (TJX) is "more on valuation" as shares pop after a 2Q earnings beat. He says 32x forward multiple is a little too strong, saying they're almost "trading like a tech company." When compared to Ross Stores (ROST), he says the store count growth is similar and believes the business model is step and step with TJX. But, he believes the ROST multiple is more favorable than TJX.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Pastor Luke Scallon - James 4:1-4
This week on The New Arab Voice podcast we look at the state of the war in Sudan.It's been declared the worst humanitarian crisis in the world, with hunger, disease and displacement rife. Yet the fighting surges on with reports of atrocities in the Kordofan region that left hundreds of civilians dead last weekend, the UN reported.The two rival militaries, the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces, are showing no sign of slowing down - and they have a few external forces to thank.So why is the UAE accused of involvement in the war? Who else is fighting for a piece of Sudan's mineral rich pie? And might the crisis be next on the list for the “peacemaking” Trump administration in Washington?To discuss all this and more, we speak to Hamid Khafallah (@HamidMurtada) Sudanese Researcher and Policy Analyst at the University of Manchester (@OfficialUoM), Hala Alkarib (@Halayalkarib) Sudanese activist and Regional Director of Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa, and Khalid Omer Yousif (@KHOYousif) Vice Chairman of Sudanese Congress Party and former minister of cabinet affairs in the transitional government.

You may not always feel like praising, especially in a battle. But that's when praise is most powerful. Worship isn't a soft response—it's a spiritual strike. When you lift your hands, the enemy loses his grip. When you raise your voice, chains start falling. Worship is how warriors breathe in the fire.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“Now when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against the men... who had come against Judah, so that they were routed.” — 2 Chronicles 20:22 (ESV)Judah didn't win that battle with swords. They didn't fight it with strategy. They sent out worshippers—and God ambushed the enemy.Let that settle in.Sometimes God doesn't call you to fight harder—He calls you to sing louder.Worship shifts the atmosphere. It realigns your spirit. It reminds your soul who your King is—and who the enemy isn't. Worship tells hell, “I may be in a storm, but I'm not shaken. My God is still worthy.”You may think you need a breakthrough before you can praise. But it's often your praise that creates the breakthrough.When Paul and Silas were in prison, they didn't wait for the doors to open. They worshiped in chains—and the chains broke.Don't underestimate the power of your song. Even if it's off-key. Even if it's tear-soaked. Even if it's whispered through fear. Heaven hears it. Hell fears it.Worship reminds you that the battle belongs to the Lord—and He's never lost one yet.Question of the Day:When was the last time you worshiped in the middle of a fight—not just after the victory?Mini Call to Action:Put on a worship song today—not for background noise, but as your battle cry. Sing it. Mean it. Let it rise louder than the storm.Let's Pray:God, teach me to worship even when it's hard. Let praise rise in my heart before the victory is visible. I trust that You fight for me, and I'll meet You on the battlefield—singing. In Jesus' name, amen.Let's Get To Work!Don't wait to feel strong. Worship now.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN AND THE PULPIT: 4/8 Righteous Strife: How Warring Religious Nationalists Forged Lincoln's Union Hardcover – by Richard Carwardine (Author) 1860 The first major account of the American Civil War to give full weight to the central role played by religion, reframing the conflict through Abraham Lincoln's contentious appeals to faith-based nationalism How did slavery figure in God's plan? Was it the providential role of government to abolish this sin and build a righteous nation? Or did such a mission amount to “religious tyranny” and “pulpit politics,” in an effort to strip the southern states of their God-given rights? In 1861, in an already fracturing nation, the tensions surrounding this moral quandary cracked the United States in half, and even formed rifts within the North itself, where anti slavery religious nationalists butted heads with conservative religious nationalists over their visions for America's future. At the center of this melee stood Abraham Lincoln, who would turn to his own faith for guidance, proclaiming more days of national fasting and thanksgiving than any other president before or since.These pauses for spiritual reflection provided the inspirational rhetoric and ideological fuel that sustained the war.

We're re-airing one of our most surprising and most popular episodes for you this week -- a deep dive into Aaron Burr from January 2023. This episode is guest-hosted by IEX's Jayme Abrahamsen and features Andy Kaplan (former Greenlight Capital partner, now CEO of Freedom's Edge Cider). In a previous episode, they broke down the mythology of Hamilton. This time, they turn the spotlight on his adversary, Aaron Burr. Vice President. Revolutionary War hero. Romance novel star. Duelist. Exile. They explore how Burr's legacy was rewritten by enemies like Hamilton and Jefferson, how he became a political cautionary tale, and what it says about who we choose to put on our currency and why.

You can still grow. And while the world is losing sleep... You can still rest — because your hope isn't in headlines, it's in Him.

Welcome to today's pastor's chat on Luke 12, where Jesus speaks to the heart ofwhat it means to follow Him in a broken world. As believers, we are called towait, watch, and work for His kingdom, but this calling comes with a challenge:it won't be easy. We are aliens in enemy territory, living as stewards of God'sgrace while engaged in a spiritual war. Jesus doesn't shy away from thisreality—He confronts it head-on, addressing the struggles that threaten toderail us and the battles we must face. First,Jesus warns against hypocrisy, covetousness, worry, and fear. These creep intoour lives when we pretend to be something we're not, when we chase the thingsof this world over the things of God, or when we let anxiety take root.Coveting, at its core, is idolatry—placing anything above our Creator. Theresult? Restless, insecure lives, always chasing the next thing but neverfinding satisfaction. Yet, there's hope. True fulfillment comes through anintimate relationship with Jesus Christ. He loved us, died for us, and roseagain, filling the void within us and making us new creations. Only He cantransform our hearts and give us lasting peace. InLuke 12, Jesus shifts to a story of stewardship. A master returns to find hisservants either faithfully waiting, watching, and working—or distracted andunfaithful. He concludes with a principle: “To whom much is given, from himmuch will be required” (Luke 12:48). The more God entrusts to us—be it time,talents, or opportunities—the more He expects us to use them for His glory.We're accountable for what we've been given, and that accountability shapes howwe live. Butstewardship isn't just about diligence; it's also about warfare. Jesus says, “Icame to send fire on the earth… I have a baptism to be baptized with… Do yousuppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but ratherdivision” (Luke 12:49-51). Fire represents judgment, and His baptism points toHis suffering on the cross—a death He endured in our place, pictured by Hisbaptism in the Jordan. He didn't need to repent, but He identified with us,taking our sin and rising victorious on the third day. That's the triumph wecelebrate at Easter. Yet,His coming also brings division. Families may split—father against son, motheragainst daughter—because faith in Jesus demands a choice: “If you're notwith Me, you're against Me.” The Gospel of Luke begins with “peace onearth” (Luke 2:14), and yes, Jesus offers a peace that calms our hearts andovercomes worry as we seek His kingdom first. But in this world, He warns, “Youwill have tribulation” (John 16:33). He was persecuted, and as Hisservants, we won't escape it either. We're at war—against the flesh, the devil,and the enemies we face as believers. Taking a stand for Christ may cost us,but there's a promise: if we suffer with Him, we will also reign with Him. So,where does this leave us? We're called to be faithful stewards, watching andworking for Jesus, even as we navigate a world that opposes Him. The peace Hegives isn't the absence of conflict but the presence of His strength within us.As aliens in this territory, we live differently, trusting that our battles aretemporary and our victory is sure. ClosingChallengeReflecton what God has entrusted to you—your resources, relationships, oropportunities to share His love. This week, choose one specific way to stewardthese faithfully, even if it means facing resistance. Stand firm, knowing Jesusis with you in the fight. PrayerLordJesus, thank You for the peace You bring to our hearts, even in a world oftribulation. Help us turn from hypocrisy, covetousness, and fear, and find oursatisfaction in You alone. Strengthen us to be faithful stewards, watching andworking for Your glory, no matter the cost. Give us courage for the battles weface and hope in Your promise of victory. In Your precious name, Amen. Godbless!
