Chadd and guest Jeremy Ryan Slate explore the Roman presence in first-century Judea, tracing how Roman governance, client kings (like Herod), and methods such as crucifixion shaped the political context of Jesus’ trial and death. Slate — a scholar of Catholic theology, early Roman propaganda and author of The Roman Pattern — explains key moments in the Gospels through Roman law, propaganda and logistics.

The episode covers Pilate’s dilemma, why Jewish leaders brought a political charge, the symbolism and purpose of crucifixion, Josephus’s historical corroboration, Paul’s Roman citizenship and mobility, and the catastrophic destruction of the Jerusalem temple and its wider consequences. Slate also connects these historical patterns to modern themes of civilizational stress and media, and discusses his work with Command Your Brand.

Listeners can expect a mix of biblical, historical, and practical perspectives — a clear primer on the Roman-Jewish interplay around Jesus’ life, a look at Reformation-era causes like indulgences, and personal reflections on faith, family travel, and building an authentic public brand.

Chadd sits down with hospice nurse and author Penny (Influencing Death) to demystify end‑of‑life care. They cover the difference between hospice and palliative care, natural vs. medicalized death, practical guidance for families (medications, food/fluids, smoking, when to call hospice) and how to choose a hospice provider.

The conversation also explores emotional and spiritual impacts—acceptance, forgiveness, joy and legacy work—plus vivid deathbed stories, the phenomenon of deathbed visions and the debate around DMT and other “woo‑woo” moments near death. Real patient examples (including personal stories about Mr. Don) illustrate what to expect and how to support a loved one.

Penny shares her journey from late‑in‑life nursing school to over a thousand hospice deaths, offers resources for families, and explains how talking about death eases anxiety. Guests and listeners will leave with compassionate, practical tools and a hopeful perspective on dying.

In this Monday Meeting episode the hosts (with Blake and Cornbread absent) pick up Acts chapter 13, unpacking what it means to be “sent out by the Holy Spirit.” They walk through Paul and Barnabas’ missionary start, synagogue-first evangelism, the confrontation with Elymas (Bar-Jesus) and the dramatic blinding that leads Sergius Paulus to believe.

The conversation moves into theology and practice: distinctions in how the Holy Spirit spoke in the apostolic era versus today, the challenge of discerning prophetic voice, Paul’s name shift, and the broader theme of God reforming our desires to align with His will.

Interwoven are personal testimonies and pastoral reflections — a host’s recent run-in with law enforcement and subsequent repentance, the conviction that grieving over sin can be evidence of the Spirit, and a powerful account of spiritual warfare and deliverance in a spouse’s recovery. They also discuss caution around modern prophetic claims and the practical role of Scripture in discernment.

Episode notes include sponsor mention (BPN Performance Nutrition), an invitation to the live Resurrected study (2 Corinthians), and encouragement to share feedback and support the show on Patreon.

Join the hosts as they dive into some of the Bible's strangest accounts, sharing baffling stories and trying to make sense of them. Highlights include an extended look at Ezekiel's prophetic sign (the 390 days, the siege brick, and the infamous dung-bread), the talking donkey and angel of Yahweh in the Balaam narrative from Numbers, and jaw-dropping episodes from Judges—Ehud’s assassination of a fat king and Samson’s superhuman feats and downfall.

This episode blends historical context, theological reflection, personal reactions, and plenty of humor and banter as they weigh literal versus allegorical readings and what these accounts reveal about God’s sovereignty and methods.

Expect curious details, cultural background, vivid storytelling, and takeaways about the Bible’s mysteries—most notably a reminder that the gospel remains Scripture’s deepest, most surprising mystery.

Chadd talks about how by being a part of a "tribe" you become a pawn and why we must maintain our ability to think for ourselves.

3 of 7 unpacks why Greenland has moved to the center of global attention: a mix of historical claims, Cold War-era bases, NORAD radar positioning, and the strategic pathway for intercontinental missiles. They trace American interest from WWII through Truman to Trump’s public mentions and the island’s continued military relevance.

The episode also explores Greenland’s natural wealth — lithium, rare earths, uranium and other minerals under the ice — and how those deposits factor into a tech-driven resource race with China and Russia. A major segment examines “Praxis” and venture-backed proposals (linked to figures like Peter Thiel and tech leaders) to build libertarian smart cities or testing grounds in sparsely populated areas, and why Greenland has been touted as an ideal site.

Key takeaways: Greenland’s importance is both military and economic; private tech capital and political maneuvering are accelerating interest; environmental, ethical and sovereignty questions complicate any acquisition; and the conversation ties into larger themes about future governance, consolidated power, and global competition. Sponsors and training notes are briefly mentioned.
