It's the Fourth of July, and she might be a little dinged up, but after 249 years, America is still standing. And she will keep standing as long as there are independent Americans out there to stay vigilant and ensure that the torch that Lady Liberty holds high above her head as a beacon for all stays lit. And this show will always stay vigilant. Especially on Independence Day. Or INDEPENDENTS Day! It's a time for us all to reflect on what independence really means. And explore who will stand up now and fight for it. Men and women of all backgrounds—united in a love for America. And a dedication to making it better. Men and women like the fine residents of New York's 17th that are represented by this episode's guest. He's Republican Congressman Mike Lawler—and he's here to mix it up with Paul and react to the New York mayor's race, Ukraine, the AUMF, Trump's Iran strikes, the dropping popularity of his party, and his support for veterans. He's been effective in representing a rare moderate perspective inside the GOP. It's how he has won in a 2 to 1 Democrat district. And how he might try and win the New York governor's seat next year. It's America's birthday and after the start to this year, we could all use a break. So put your feet up, kick back and press play. Listen now or watch us on YouTube.

Tomorrow's US holiday means US labor market data appears today. There is a hint today's report may be weak. US presidents normally see the data the night before release. Last night, US President Trump issued a social media post calling for Federal Reserve Chair Powell to resign. Policy uncertainty and the largest tax increase in modern times are more likely to damage the labor market than Fed policy, but the post might signal weaker data.
This week, Paul explores how physical weakness shattered the illusion of self-reliance and became the surprising path to deeper dependence on God's grace.Join us for a weekly narration of Paul Tripp's popular devotional.

John Anderson and Dr. Rebeccah Heinrichs examine the geopolitical consequences of the conflict between Israel and Iran, highlighting the United States' role in shaping global security and the future of the Middle East. They discuss how President Trump's decisive military strike on Iran's nuclear infrastructure has undermined Tehran's influence and reasserted US supremacy in the region.The conversation reflects on the rise of anti-Semitism, the misguided pursuit of a two-state solution, and the importance of standing with strong allies like Israel. It underscores how pivotal a strong US response in the Middle East is to a strategy of deterrence in the Indo-Pacific, particularly with regard to Taiwan. Dr. Heinrichs criticises Australia's reluctance to strengthen its own defence capabilities in this context, expressing the hope that Australia will choose to collaborate more closely with the United States in an era of mounting global uncertainty.Dr. Rebeccah L. Heinrichs is a senior fellow at Hudson Institute and the director of its Keystone Defense Initiative. Dr. Heinrichs specialises in US national defense policy with a focus on strategic deterrence. Dr. Heinrichs is an adjunct professor at the Institute of World Politics, where she teaches nuclear deterrence theory, and is also a contributing editor of Providence: A Journal of Christianity and American Foreign Policy.

Through Weakness, Grace: The Journey Toward God and Heaven This Homily begins with Jesus' saying, “The eye is the lamp of the body,” . . . . . . and uses it to explore how physical sight symbolizes spiritual vision. A personal story about a blind woman illustrates the value of physical sight, but the message moves beyond the literal to focus on spiritual sight . . . our inner vision or life's goals. Jesus is not merely talking about physical eyes, but about the deeper orientation of our lives. The “eye” symbolizes our internal focus . . . what we aim for in life. People may pursue careers or ambitions, but Jesus calls us to a higher goal: heaven and God. Our actions and decisions should be aligned toward this ultimate end. In Our Weaknesses, God's Grace Becomes Most Visible It's not enough to set the goal; we must fully commit ourselves to it, offering even our weaknesses to God for transformation. Drawing on St. Paul, the Homily underscores that in our weaknesses, God's grace becomes most visible. The Homily closes with a challenge: examine your true-life goal, surrender yourself entirely to God, and set your sight firmly on heaven. Listen to: Through Weakness, Grace: The Journey Toward God and Heaven --------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote From The Homily Our Lord Jesus Christ is not talking of the eye that we know. He's talking of something higher than that. And what is this something higher than that? It is life's goals. The vision where we are going. What is it that we want in life? This is what our Lord Jesus Christ is talking about, and we know all too well that it is the goals that we set, that direct us, that channel us. That is why, Saint Paul in the first reading says, I will boast of my weaknesses, because it is through them that God shows his grace. It is through them that God's power is shown. Maybe today we ask ourselves, what is our goal in life? It should be heaven. Our goal is God. Knowing our goal is not enough, but are we attuning ourselves to attain this goal? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Gates of Heaven: Artificial Intelligence (AI) Platform: Generative AI Image by Queen of All Hearts What is Generative AI?

Our Weakness, Christ's Strength : Luke 22:47-65 : Pastor Raef Chenery : 06-22-25 by Park Community Church
On Monday, President Donald Trump exploded in fury at reporters and news outlets for asking hard questions about whether the strikes really destroyed Iran's nuclear program completely, as he has proclaimed. And the questions are indeed mounting: There was clearly a lack of intelligence indicating that Iran's nuclear program posed an imminent threat. And reports have highlighted serious uncertainty about the whereabouts of Iran's enriched uranium. Trump thought he could bluff his way through this saga and count on Republicans to prevent any hard questions from being asked, but his rage at independent truth-seeking on the matter shows he knows he has a problem here. We talked to Democratic Congressman Sean Casten, who has forcefully argued that Trump committed impeachable offenses by bombing without congressional authorization. Casten goes deep on why Trump's unilateral action is so indefensible, why Trump is vulnerable to what the intelligence really shows, and why Congress has an urgent responsibility to step up.

Scripture Meditation | Lectio Divina | Strength in Weakness | 2 Corinthians 12:7–10 (NLT) Download your FREE Unshakable Journal here. Is there a struggle, a weakness, or a burden you’ve been asking God to take away?But it’s still there. It feels like it’s lingering, and it’s holding you back. You’re not alone.The Apostle Paul felt the same way. In this passage, Paul shares a deeply personal struggle—his “thorn in the flesh”—and how God responded not by removing it, but by offering a deeper promise:“My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” In this week’s meditation, we’ll slow down with 2 Corinthians 12:7–10, reflecting on what it means to find unshakable strength not in ourselves but in God. This is the eighth episode in our series: Unshakable: Strength for Today, Hope for Tomorrow. Each week, we’re meditating on Scripture that anchors us in God’s truth and helps us stand firm in every season. In this meditation on Unshakable Strength in Surrender, you’ll be invited to:• Reflect on a place in your life where you feel weak or burdened• Notice what God is saying to you through Paul’s words• Consider how God might be inviting you to trust Him more• Rest in the truth that His grace is not only enough—it is abundant Your weakness is not the end of the story.It’s the very place where God’s strength is most at work.

So to keep me from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud.8 Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away.9 Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.”So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.10 That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong. Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Have you ever felt like life has knocked the wind out of you? That no matter how many prayers you've cried out, the pain won't leave, the heartbreak won't heal, and the storm refuses to stop? This message is for you. For the one barely hanging on. For the one walking through fire. For the one carrying a thorn so deep it feels like it'll never come out. In this raw and powerful sermon, Pastor Travis Hearn opens the floodgates of his personal testimony—sharing his journey through a life-altering stroke, tragic family loss, his mother's battle with cancer, and unrelenting physical pain. But through every sucker punch from the enemy, he stands to declare: My weakness is my weapon. With 2 Corinthians 12:7–10 as his anchor, Pastor Travis unpacks the truth that our greatest strength is not found in our perfection, but in our pain. From Paul's thorn to Jacob's limp, from Moses' stutter to David's sling—God has always turned weakness into divine weaponry. Because what the enemy meant to destroy you, God is using to develop you. This isn't just a sermon. It's a battle cry. A call to stop hiding your scars and start wielding them as your testimony. Because the thorn that torments you is the very place God wants to show off. And the limp you're ashamed of? It's proof that Heaven met you in the fire—and you didn't let go. So lift your hands, lift your head, and declare it over your life: My limp leads to my legacy. My weakness is my weapon.
Pastor Kevin continues our series "Power in Weakness" with a sermon from 2 Corinthians 12:1-10.

In this urgent and thought-provoking episode of "Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu," Tom and co-host Drew dive headfirst into some of the most consequential geopolitical and domestic events unfolding right now. The conversation kicks off with escalating tensions in the Israel-Iran conflict, speculation about U.S. involvement, and global reactions to the prospect of another major war in the Middle East. With the world watching as superpowers and regional players clash over nuclear ambitions, Tom and Drew provide a nuanced and unflinching analysis of the moral dilemmas, double standards, and historical context driving events on the ground. Together, Tom and Drew untangle the complicated web of alliances, power imbalances, and ideological clashes between democratic West and theocratic regimes. They also examine the rise of anti-Semitism, the evolving narrative around Israel's actions in Gaza versus Iran, and the hypocrisy surrounding nuclear proliferation. The stakes are high, and the intense back-and-forth ensures listeners come away with a deeper understanding of the forces shaping today's headlines and tomorrow's future.

Manufactured weakness is the kind of limitation that isn't inherited or imposed—but created.It's the result of avoiding growth, rejecting responsibility, normalizing dysfunction, or surrounding yourself with standards low enough to never confront your potential. It's weakness by design. Not because you couldn't be strong—but because you've repeatedly chosen comfort over courage, survival over truth, and habits that serve emotions over values.

We take a look at where every team has room for improvement going into the Summer.
Back on April 1st, Episode 213, I shared a personal chitchat about why I was working with urgency – because life felt short, and I didn't want to waste time. I wanted to crush my personal and business goals as soon as possible because we're not guaranteed time.And while most of that was true, here I am 10 episodes later taking a lot of that back, not because life isn't short, but because I've come to realize that Jesus never hurries, and maybe I wasn't supposed to either.In this episode, I open up about one of the most refining seasons I've ever walked through: burnout, back-to-back ER visits, fertility struggles, financial debt, and business plans falling apart. But it's also the season where God met me most tenderly, showing that even in weakness, He always provides. That even in chaos, He always brings peace. And yes, that includes an unexpected $18,000 check that covered every single debt I was carrying.This is my raw, unfiltered testimony of God's faithfulness in the slow and uncertain. If you're in a season that feels the same, where everything seems completely off-track, please hold on to your faith. God sees you. God hears you. And He will make everything perfect in His time.Soli Deo Gloria.

Part One: You might assume that because I teach ascension mechanics, I'm just another New Age spiritualist peddling cosmic love and crystal frequencies. But you'd be dead wrong. I have nothing to do with New Age dogma, psychedelic trips into the astral, or any organized religion—Christianity included, which I refer to with a lowercase "c" for reasons you'll soon understand. This path is not about faith, belief, or blind devotion. It's about uncovering the raw, unfiltered truth of human existence—and the mechanics that were hidden from us for a reason.
