    Ep 776 | China & Russia Join Forces as US Debates the Racism of Coffee

    enMarch 23, 2023

    Podcast Summary

    • Finding humor in challenging timesDespite global crises, finding humor and hope can help cope with the challenges of the world, acknowledging serious issues while trusting in God's sovereignty and victory.

      Despite the concerning global events, such as the alleged collaboration between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping, it's essential to find moments of levity and humor to cope with the challenges of the world. The state of the country and the world may seem bleak due to policy choices made by elected officials, leading to crises in various aspects of life. However, finding humor in the ridiculousness and satire of cultural elites can help prevent despair and keep hope alive. So, while acknowledging the serious issues, it's crucial to remember the Lord's sovereignty and the assurance of His victory.

    • Chilling Meeting Between Xi and PutinTwo authoritarian leaders' formal meeting raises concerns for human rights and free speech, potentially leading to a world with less freedom and more authoritarian regimes.

      The recent meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin, two authoritarian leaders with a shared disdain for the West and the United States, is a cause for concern. The leaders' body language and statements during their meeting were cold and formal, with no signs of friendship or alliance. The guards at the meeting, who were required to turn their heads towards their leaders, added to the eerie atmosphere. Xi Jinping's comment about driving change together was ominous, as both China and Russia have disregard for human rights and free speech. The notion that some people may view the United States as a global oppressor and want a different world power to lead is dangerous, as it could result in the rise of more authoritarian regimes. The world needs a superpower that upholds the values of human rights and freedom, and the United States has historically been that power.

    • Countries Competing for World Power, America's PrioritiesAmerica should prioritize its own people and security, but recent events have left it vulnerable due to leadership ineffectiveness and other countries making decisions based on non-American interests

      Countries, including China, Russia, and Iran, strive for world power, but America should prioritize its own people and security first. This approach is compassionate, logical, and peaceful. However, recent events, such as America's involvement in conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, have created new vulnerabilities. Our leaders should focus on serious matters, like geopolitical challenges, rather than attending trivial events like meetings with the cast of Ted Lasso. Unfortunately, President Biden's inability to effectively communicate and make decisions has left the U.S. vulnerable, with other leaders making crucial decisions based on progressive morality and culture wars instead of protecting American interests.

    • Tension in the White House and a Young Entrepreneur's Success StoryReports of marital issues in the White House raise concerns about leadership, while a 15-year-old boy's goat soap business inspires with his entrepreneurial spirit and financial success

      There have been reports of tension between President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden. During a recent event celebrating Women's History Month, Joe Biden made controversial comments that seemed to reveal marital issues. Jill has reportedly left him notes expressing frustration and discontent. The authenticity and meaning of Joe Biden's words are unclear, leaving many to speculate and question the state of their marriage. This situation raises concerns about the impact of personal relationships on political leadership. Meanwhile, a heartwarming story comes from Quinn's Goat Soap, a business started by a 15-year-old boy named Quinn. He began making goat soap and other products from goat milk, inspired by the high cost of similar items in a store. This young entrepreneur has been learning responsibility and providing for his family through this business. Quinn's Goat Soap offers high-quality, affordable products, and the company is excited to reach a broader audience through this podcast.

    • Be aware of foreign propaganda in the coffee industryForeign actors like the Chinese Communist Party and Soviet Russia have long promoted divisive propaganda in the coffee industry to weaken societies. Be vigilant and fact-check to avoid being misled.

      While supporting small businesses like Qpgoatsope.com is important, it's crucial to be aware of the source of progressive propaganda that aims to divide and weaken societies. The coffee industry being labeled as racist is an example of such propaganda, which originated from foreign actors like the Chinese Communist Party and Soviet Russia decades ago. These regimes continue to promote such messages to sow discord and weaken the United States. It's essential to fact-check and consider the potential biases behind such claims to avoid being misled. In essence, be vigilant against foreign propaganda that seeks to exploit sensitive issues to further their agenda.

    • The perspective of critical race theory is based on feelings and assumptions, not factsCritical race theory's divisive narrative excludes historical facts and assumes white people are always oppressors, while ignoring the historical oppression of people of all races. It's important to challenge assumptions and strive for an accurate and inclusive understanding of history.

      The perspective of critical race theory being pushed in certain circles is not based on facts or reason, but rather on feelings and assumptions. The belief that white people are oppressors and black and brown people are oppressed leads to the conclusion that everything is racist, creating a divisive narrative that excludes historical facts about oppression and enslavement of people of all races. This perspective not only breeds resentment and hate but also leads to the exclusion of important historical facts that don't fit the narrative. Additionally, the assumption that white people are always the oppressors and black and brown people are always the oppressed is statistically inaccurate, as shown in crime data. It's important to challenge faulty premises and assumptions and strive for a more accurate and inclusive understanding of history.

    • Everyday life aspects with hidden biasesFrom food to hobbies and social structures, implicit biases and problematic histories exist in various aspects of everyday life. Addressing these issues requires a nuanced understanding and commitment to creating equitable and inclusive spaces.

      Various aspects of everyday life, from food to hobbies to social structures, have been identified as having implicit biases or problematic histories. From peanut butter and jelly to school lunch programs, cycling, running, national parks, and even organized pantries, racism and other forms of discrimination have been found to be present or historically rooted in these areas. It's important to note that these issues are complex and multifaceted, and addressing them requires a nuanced understanding and a commitment to creating equitable and inclusive spaces for all. As we continue to explore these topics, it's crucial to approach them with an open mind and a willingness to learn and grow.

    • The Dangers of 'White Fragility''White fragility' can be a Kafka trap, leading to accusations of racism and perpetuating division, rather than promoting true equity and impartiality.

      The concept of "white fragility" can be used as a Kafka trap to accuse individuals of being racist or perpetuating white supremacy, and if they deny these accusations, they are labeled as something else awful. This approach lacks reason, soundness, and logic, and often relies on rhetorical tricks and logical fallacies. The promotion of such ideas, like those found in Robin DiAngelo's book "White Fragility," can lead to destructive outcomes, such as the racial tensions and division seen in countries like Zimbabwe and South Africa. Instead of promoting impartiality and true equity, these ideas create partiality and unequal responsibilities for reconciliation and reparations. It is essential to be wary of such traps and to promote a more nuanced and equitable understanding of race and privilege.

    • The Divisive Nature of Views on Race and DiscriminationDespite similar ideas about racial separation, individuals face vastly different reactions. Open and respectful dialogue is crucial to address complex issues, rather than labeling and canceling based on beliefs.

      The discussion highlights the controversial and divisive nature of certain views on race and discrimination in society. Two individuals, Scott Adams and Robin DiAngelo, have expressed similar ideas about the need for racial separation, yet the reactions to their statements have been vastly different. Adams faced severe backlash and lost income sources, while DiAngelo continues to be promoted and paid for her work. The ideology surrounding race relations has become toxic and breeds hate, with individuals being labeled based on their beliefs rather than engaging in productive dialogue. The example of Calissa Wing, a diversity chief at the Pentagon, further illustrates the issue, as she expressed frustration with white people and questioned their motivation for seeking help, despite acknowledging that black people can be racist. Ultimately, the discussion underscores the importance of recognizing that all individuals have the capacity for prejudice and discrimination, regardless of their race or ethnicity. It also highlights the need for open and respectful dialogue to address these complex issues, rather than resorting to labeling and canceling individuals based on their beliefs.

    • Mainstreaming obscure academic theories divides communitiesChristians must avoid divisiveness, invest in emergency supplies, and maintain clear perspective amid societal pressures

      The current cultural climate has led to the mainstreaming of previously obscure academic theories, resulting in divisive issues and broken communities. The sad part is that many Christians have perpetuated this divisiveness in an attempt to gain favor with the secular left, but they will never truly be accepted until they fully capitulate. It's important to be prepared for the future, whether it be economic instability or supply chain issues. My Patriot Supply offers a 3-month emergency food supply kit, which can be a valuable investment for your family's safety. Additionally, the recent normalization of adults pretending to be children, such as Dylan Mulvaney, raises concerns about the influence on young people and the hypocrisy of the White House's endorsement. It's essential to maintain a clear perspective and not be swayed by societal pressures.

    • Transgender influencer's success attributed to presenting as a manDespite pervasive issues, the speaker finds comfort in God's ultimate victory and encourages support for conservative media

      The attention and success of a transgender influencer, Dylan Mulvaney, is largely due to the fact that he is a man presenting as a woman. The speaker believes that if Mulvaney were an actual woman, he wouldn't receive the same level of attention or sponsorships. The speaker also expresses their belief that God is in control and that His victory is certain, despite the prevalence of evil and pervasive issues in the world. They find comfort in the fact that God is still on His throne and that He has the final say. The speaker also encourages listeners to support Blaze TV, the company that distributes the podcast, to ensure continued access to conservative media content.

    Ep 1025 | Chrissy Teigen Cries Tears of Joy Over Abortion
    Today, we discuss Chrissy Teigen and Kamala Harris' recent comments on abortion. A few years ago, Teigen announced she had a miscarriage. After the reversal of Roe vs. Wade, she announced this miscarriage was actually an abortion, causing confusion. The Biden/Harris campaign also recently put out an ad that features a woman who claims she was denied miscarriage treatment due to the Dobbs decision. Is this true? What is the difference between a miscarriage and an abortion, and why do abortion activists often conflate the two? And what actually happens during an abortion?

    Ep 1023 | Pride Pullback: Are Companies Backing Down?
    Today, we discuss some good news: less "Pride" merchandise in stores this year. We examine some of the reasons for this development, including the impact of conservative boycotts. Is Christianity really more "intolerant" than progressivism? Are Christians actually imposing their beliefs on others? Or do they just want neutral spaces?

    Ep 1022 | Robert Morris Resigns, Potheads vs. Karens
    Today, we discuss the resignation of Pastor Robert Morris in light of his past sexual assault of a 12-year-old girl. Does forgiveness require restoration to previous positions of power? And does worldly success indicate someone is pleasing to God? On a lighter note, we discuss how horrible marijuana is, particularly its devastating effects on teenagers. Are there any good reasons to legalize weed? Is marijuana possession actually a criminal justice issue, or is this a myth?

    Ep 1021 | #SBCToo? Another Accused Megachurch Pastor

    Ep 1021 | #SBCToo? Another Accused Megachurch Pastor
    Today, we discuss the recent confession of "inappropriate sexual behavior with a young lady" from Pastor Robert Morris of Gateway Church. The alleged victim, Cindy Clemishire, claims the abuse began when she was just 12 years old and Morris was 21 and lasted for more than four years. What does this mean for Christians, particularly in light of Pastor Tony Evans' recent resignation over sin? Are all Christians qualified to be teachers?

    Today, we sit down with Soren Aldaco, a 21-year-old woman and detransitioner who is suing her former doctors for a botched mastectomy and other medical malpractices. Soren began identifying as transgender at just 11 years old, began hormone replacement therapy at 17, and had a double mastectomy at 19. Soren was prescribed all these treatments despite numerous mental health conditions and traumatic life experiences. How did this happen? Soren discusses her entire story and the failures of the medical system that left her "permanently disfigured."

    Ep 1019 | The Christian ‘Ashley Madison’ Couple Speaks Out | Guests: Sam & Nia Rader
    Today, we sit down with family vloggers Sam and Nia Rader. Back in 2015, this Christian couple's world was turned upside down during a data breach of the infidelity website "Ashley Madison." Because of this breach, names of people who had signed up for the site, seeking to have an affair, became public. Sam's name was included in the leak. The couple then faced an uphill battle as they struggled to heal their marriage, sought true repentance, and dealt with the publicity of their marital struggles. They recently told their story again to Netflix in the streaming company's documentary on the data leak. We ask them to delve into their story and share what they believe Netflix got wrong.

    Ep 1018 | Former IVF Doctor Blows the Whistle | Guest: Dr. Lauren Rubal
    Today, we sit down with Dr. Lauren Rubal, a Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility physician who focuses on fertility, recurrent miscarriage, painful, irregular, or heavy cycles, and menopause through an integrative lens. Instead of taking a bandaid, one-size-fits-all approach, Dr. Rubal views each patient as an entire person - body, mind, and soul - and works to address the root cause of reproductive disorders. But she wasn't always in this field. Dr. Rubal started her career in conventional medicine, and even practiced IVF. What prompted her to leave and start her own practice? How does Integrative Medicine differ from a more typical medical approach? What's so bad about IVF? Is there any such thing as "ethical" IVF? And why is hormonal birth control an ineffective treatment? We address all that and more.

    Equity Conversations: Resistance and Resilience with Graig Meyer and Jamie Almanzán

    Equity Conversations: Resistance and Resilience with Graig Meyer and Jamie Almanzán

    INTRO: Earlier this year, I read The Delicate Handling of Equity Work in Conservative Communities, and was thrilled when the authors agreed to be guests on the podcast. In the two years since I left the superintendency, I have found myself talking with superintendents who have faced (or are facing) this same dilemma. They recognize the importance of the children in their district learning about systems of oppression, but sometimes their communities see any topic of equity as an assault on their "traditions" (or, in one example from their article, they say superintendents are bringing Critical Race Theory to their community when they talk about equity). As you can see, I have really been looking forward to talking with my guests today, the leaders of The Equity Collaborative, Graig Meyer and Jamie Almanzán

    In the first part, we talk about their article and in second part, the After-Action Review, I want you to imagine you have been asked to give the beginning of the year kickoff to 1000 teachers who may have been told they’re the obstacle to equitable practices. Not only that, you learn that contract negotiations have not been going well and the teachers have threatened to walk out of the kickoff!

     

    And let me apologize in advance, I clearly forgot to turn on my mic, so I sound as if I am down a well, but Graig and Jamie sound AMAZING – you’ll hear more from them than me! 

     

    BIO: Jamie Almanzán is a facilitator, teacher, curriculum developer and leadership coach currently working as an Equity Leadership Coach and the owner of The Equity Collaborative in Oakland, California. Prior to leading The Equity Collaborative, he held the position of Senior Coach at the National Equity Project


    Graig Meyer is a social worker, educator, and youth development specialist working as an Equity Leadership Coach and partner in The Equity Collaborative. He has 16 years of experience leading equity work in public schools.
