The Stephen Mansfield Podcast

November 8th, 2016 is Election Day, which means there is almost one year to go. While the media has shed more than enough light on the myriad presidential candidates, one thing, for whatever reason, is lacking: religious clarity. Ben Carson is a 7th-Day Adventist. Hillary Clinton is a Social Gospel Methodist. Marco Rubio converted from Mormonism. But what do the American people know about the nuances of these belief systems, or how they might influence a person's decisions in the Oval Office?

The phrase “Band of Brothers” now has special meaning in our language. It comes, of course, from the Agincourt Speech in Shakespeare’s Henry V. Its words and its sentiments have echoed through the great battles of history and galvanized the hopes of both men and women for comrades who share life and struggles together. In this podcast, Stephen tells the story of the words “Band of Brothers” through history, and he does so on the anniversary of the great Agincourt Battle: October 25th.

In the midst of a dispute over a site in Jerusalem referred to as "The Noble Sanctuary" by Muslims, or the "Temple Mount" by Jews, Israeli-Palestinian violence has surged out of control over the last few weeks. Stephen breaks down the details of the conflict in terms of how the West plays a part, how some aspects of the conflict have proven difficult for the media to explain, and how a misguided statement to the press by Prime Minister Netanyahu doesn't help matters at all.

It's sad but true: "rape culture" is spiraling out of control in our country. It seems impossible to think that on the campuses of the nation's greatest universities, an alarming percentage of women report some type of non-consensual sexual encounter each year. It's time to reach into the heart of the matter. In today's episode, Stephen challenges men of all walks of life to "self-police," or hold each other accountable. No man is an island—your band of brothers can help heal a broken culture.
