In Israel, TV's dystopian 'Handmaids' is protest fixture
"It's become an ominous fixture of the mass anti government protests roiling Israel, a coil of women in crimson robes and white caps, walking heads bowed and hands clasped. The women are dressed as characters from Margaret Atwood's dystopian novel, The Handmaid's Tale, and the eponymous TV series. Ahead of one demonstration, the women wrote the train from Tel Aviv to Israel in costume, transforming the cars and the platform into what could have been a scene from the Hulu series. They say they're protesting to ward off what they believe will be a dark future. If the government follows through on his plans to overhaul the judiciary, the founder of one women's rights advocacy

Jon Ward Talks About His Faith Journey
"Most interested in your faith journey. So I'm going to I'm going to defer one moment to journalism. Where are you now? Do you believe Jesus Christ is the savior was born at a time in history crucified rose from the dead? You still believe that John ward, yes. Okay. And do you believe in exclusivity? Meaning, Christianity is the only way to God. Yeah. To eternal Salvation. I have a hard time believing that if somebody who has never called themselves a Christian or maybe has never heard of Christianity, but exudes the same type of life that Christ's commanded or kind of as a Christian would say has the aroma of Christ, if their life looks like what Christ taught, I have a hard time believing that they don't know God or they are not close to God. So I don't know for sure exactly what happens when we die. But that's how I would answer that question. And you know, I just think, are you orthodox? I mean, do you believe in hell? I don't know. I've read arguments both ways, and I don't really have, I would like to believe that it doesn't exist. But I'm not sure. You know,

Could Trump Be Worse the Second Time Around?
"It's not, it's a little more nuanced than that, but I do think you don't credit evangelicals generally with being smart about their vote. My whole view of the evangelical affair with Trump is that the relentless ascendancy of secularism drove evangelicals into his arm and that that election was really about the Supreme Court. And that evangelicals were quite smart to go with Trump after he published his list, and they ended up with justice, Gorsuch justice, Kavanaugh, and justice Amy Coney Barrett, and that was a good deal for evangelicals concerned about freedom of worship. Response I understand all that, I, you know, my perspective was at the time and remains that he was that Trump was pretty clear about his disregard for the constitution for history for sort of the architecture of our democracy. He made that pretty clear in his comments in different ways. And I think he proved that his words meant something when it came to January 6th. So I think, you know, sure, you got a Supreme Court that you like, and we came to a constitutional crisis where we came closer than I and many others would have liked to. Okay, tangent. Tangent, John. If Mike Pence had done the wrong thing and put aside the ballots, what do you think would have happened? It wasn't a constitutional crisis. It was a riot, and it was dangerous, and I hope they're all prosecuted who broke in, but I've had this argument with Liz Cheney. What do you think would happen if Mike Pence had bought it? Well, we don't know what would have happened. I think there's another scenario where they delay it where lawmakers are killed, where they can't get enough lawmakers to actually certify the election. And I think there was talk, I think, by general milley, of concerns about Trump, you know, declaring martial law or some excuse to take military control of the country. We don't have evidence that I think John Roberts would have gotten the court together and they would have declared count the votes in about 24 hours. Maybe not that long. And they would add a Nixon versus the United States 9 zero vote and we weren't close to a constitutional crisis. In fact, my biggest argument with you about your book is you don't actually have a lot of faith that evangelicals believe in the constitution and that there are concerns about the secularization of the society are overstated when in fact I spend a lot of time talking to the alliance defending freedom, they're out there every day combating anti Christian bigotry. I mean, it's real. I've been reporting on this since 1992. It's a constant, secularization, advance that has triggered a lot of the response that you deal with, although covenant life church is different. That's why I'm trying to, that's a very different part of the general evangelical world, isn't it? You know, in some respects, coming to life was not very political. It wasn't involved with things like alliance defending freedom. And you know, I have no problem with people doing those things in through the system that we have. But I think going back to the point about January 6th, were we at the point of a coup, we don't know the point my point is we were way too close for my comfort level and we're now at a point where the same guy is potentially going to be the Republican nominee again. And if he brought us that close last time, my concern is where do we go from here if he's president again?

The Language of Evangelicalism
"John, I think you'll probably know. I'm an evangelical Roman Catholic Presbyterian. That means I go to mass on Saturday night and I go to my Presbyterian Church on Sunday, one river two banks, but I speak evangelical very well. Rick Warren and Greg Laurie are friends, Al Muller is a weekly conversationalist with me. I know, you know, John piper I read desiring God years ago. I know most of the stuff you talk about. I've got to tell you at the beginning. I have never heard of CJ Mahoney or Lou engel until I read your book. Never heard and I've been covering religion since 1992. So first question, do you think your perspective in testimony might be jaded by that particular covenant life church experience and these particular pastures? Well, I guess, can I ask you what you mean by jaded, just that my experience might not reflect a more mainstream experience? Is that what you're kind of? Yeah, I think mainstream evangelicalism is not anti intellectual at all. But then again, I've had doctor Mark Roberts as a pastor for 25 years. He got his undergrad and PhD from Harvard. Doctor Larry is my current pastor in oldtown is a phenomenal scholar and preacher and archbishop who is listening right now in the author of three books is an intellectual giant in the Catholic world and I've written three books on evangelicalism and this, I just think testimony is a 100% accurate about 1% of the church. How's that sound? Yeah, I think my dad raised a similar objection. When I talked to him about the book, he does not feel like a lot of evangelical culture is anti intellectual. And I think it's a totally fair question to raise. I do think that even if you haven't heard of CJ Mahaney or Lou angle, you know, I did some reporting recently. Let me deal with CJ first. CJ is not a figure on the same level as somebody like Al molar. But until about, you know, 7, 9, ten years ago, he was of a similar stature to Al mohler, if not as nationally known. So never quite got to that level, but was kind of on his way there was working with Mueller quite closely in a group of other ministers who were organizing a conference every year called. I think together for the gospel. Danny Louisville.

We Have Gotten Ourselves Into Quite a Little Mess Here...
"Have gotten ourselves into quite a little mess here. Have we not? We should have used sanctions. We should have used diplomacy. We should have used every tool. We had in the books to ward off Putin, but nope, the B team was involved. Blinken and Biden. Two not very smart people. And now we're in a proxy war. Why aren't we sanctioning China more? I mean, I thought the deal was if you do business with Russia, then you don't get to do business with the USA. So much for that. Team Biden has no clue how to use its financial tools. To address this aggression, if the Biden administration had ever known what it was doing at all, you know what it never would have tried to shut down the U.S. fossil fuel industry ride ahead of the Ukraine situation. I mean, how dumb can you really get? This is a game of chess. On the world stage, unless you need to anticipate your opponents every single move. And this one frankly was obvious. Russia was the largest supplier of Nat gas to Germany, and therefore plays a huge role in energy prices globally. So logical person, any logical person, anyone that understands economics would get that, you know, hey, maybe it's not such a good idea to discourage U.S. energy drillers just ahead of Russia going up against Ukraine.

Kendrick Perkins Says Racial Bias Plays Role in NBA MVP Voting
"Kendrick Perkins. What's this guy's deal? I'm not familiar with him terribly much. He was a subpar NBA player and he's above average broadcaster, but he does, this is not abnormal for him to do. And he is not white. That is correct. All right, so take a listen, cut forward to this guy's very upset because a white guy may be in the running here. Got 14. JJ, I need to know. Is the uchu Wally or is it one mic? I need to know when it comes down to the criteria moving the gold post for the MVPs because I understand you and the analytics. I understand you are a story you know the game of basketball, but I went and did a little research myself and since 1990 has only been three MVPs. That wasn't top ten in scoring that one letter ward.

When I walk into the club, do I need my J zone or is it a dress code? Do I need to put another, you know, a church shoes or some red bottoms or I need a note. Is it uchu Wally or is it one might? Like, what's the criteria when moving the gold post for certain players to win the MVP? I need to know. Because it seemed about the gold post move every single time where we want to push it out there, this particular pill that we want to win every piece 'cause we all know in 2006 when Kobe was averaging 31 when the Lakers were the 7 seed and the roster that he had compared to Steve Nash and Steve Nash won his second consecutive MVP in 2006, was he really supposed to win that? Was he really supposed to outdo COVID that year? I'm just trying to figure it out, bro, I'm trying to get on understanding what's the criteria why the goal posts move for certain players is the utility or is it one might carry on? So this is

Pat Boone Shares a Story About Foster Brooks
"Rare opportunity to see two show business giants having this kind of a conversation. Unfortunately, pat Boone is both of those giants. And then there's Eric metaxas, your humble correspondent here. But pat, you I joke around with you all the time. You have met absolutely everyone, you know you knew everyone that I have admired over the years. Most of them have passed on. You mentioned Foster Brooks. Did you meet? Did you know Foster Brooks? Yes, of course I did. I was not expecting a Foster Brooks impression on the program. But you did know foster books because I don't know, you know, what do I know? We played in each other's golf tournaments. He came to my tournament in Chattanooga that I hosted for almost 40 years for the bethel orphanage orphanage Christian orphanage and school that took in kids who were wards of the court whose parents were in prison. Only institution like it I've ever known. And so I hosted Goff tournaments for that thing for 30 years. It's still going strong. And Foster Brooks came to it. Now, you know, after I asked him to come and he said he would, I said, wait a minute, foster, you perform, you play a drunk, which I know you are not. And he had been, though he wasn't anymore. But he sure knew how to do it. And I said, can you be funny without being drunk? And he said, well, yes. But it's harder for me, but I said, but you know all of our people, all of our kids in this school almost all of them were victims of parents with child with a alcohol abuse and drug abuse. So he would call me before he came to them. And all the supporters of bethel, he would say, can I tell this joke and he would tell me a joke? I'd say, oh, yeah, that's funny. Then he'd call me can I tell you? I said, no, no, no. No foster. You can't tell that joke here. Sorry. And then, and he performed beautifully without alienating anybody. And then, of course, I had to return the favor and go play in his tournament in Kentucky.

Your Daily Prayer
A Prayer for Peace in Unstable Times
"No matter what is going on around us, we can find an unshakable confidence in the lord because he is ever faithful to us. This is why staying in the word consistently is so important when experiencing stressful or unstable times. Faith comes by hearing the word of God, Romans ten 17, and the more we are studying the scriptures, the stronger our trust in God becomes, the word of God is so powerful and the more we study and meditate on it, our foundation will be strong in price and will continually know how to look to him any time stress and anxiety tries to overtake us. Let us always be quick to ask the lord for his sustaining grace and help us in our time of need, looking to him always because he cares for us. No matter what is going on around us, even if it seems like everything is falling apart, we must remember that God holds the entire universe in his hands. He is completely sovereign. Nothing passes through his hands by accident. He is in total control and has a great plan regarding all of it. We can trust in him and rest in his great perfect peace. Let us set our mind upon him. Let's pray. Lord, thank you that you want us to set our minds upon you at all times. Thank you that there is no where I can go that you are not there with me. Thank you for having a hold of my life, even as I feel like everything is crumbling around me. I confess that I have let stress take a hold of my life rather than you. I've tried to control things in my life and at the same time I've let anxiety control my mood, my attitudes and my actions. Lord, I repent of this. Please father help me see what is stressful or worrisome in my life and hand it over to you, help me actively think on your goodness to me. I am so hopeful for my eternity with you, lord, where the presence of sin and fear will no longer be there. Help me look back on all the ways you have rescued me from my fearful moments and remember where you have always been faithful to me in the midst of great trials. Help me to rest in the truth of your goodness and power today. Thank you, ward, for your perfect peace. In Jesus name, amen.

He stopped once to wipe the sweat away. I said you mighty little boy to be a work in that way. She said I like it with a big wide grin kept on a pop in any say it again, get rhythm. When you get the blues come on, get rhythm. When you get the blues, it only cost a dime. Talks I'm talking to ward Connor Lee, the hero and the legend who got affirmative action outlawed in California in 1990 6. Because he believes it's immoral. He is now working to oppose reparations for black Californians. And of course, he is a black Californian. So where are things with that battle right now? Well, I'm really going to catch it from my fellow black people. Because I think reparations is a bad idea. First of all, where do you stop? Who are you going to give reparations to? And if you really want to get beyond race as I do, reparations giving monthly checks to black people and special benefits is going to prolong the agony of race in California. How do you decide who's going to get it? What about a person who picks up their home and their lives and moves into California? California was a free state. California wasn't as slave state. And so what about people who come in from outside California who are black? And this society and I'm hearing the figure of $250,000. Multiply that by error. Get a good big money. Well, let me ask you the right way. It strikes me as this is naked politics. This is as political as it gets. It's a joke. If your mother is white and your father is black, do you get half the amount of money? I mean, how in the world can anyone be serious about this? It becomes preposterous, you think of somebody like Kamala Harris, who I don't even know how we define black anymore. I mean, she's half Indian. She's married to a white man. It just becomes so silly when you try to think in these racial categories, it breaks down pretty quickly. But the people who are pushing this stuff, they don't care. They know that they're making political hay out of it, that they're trying to bribe people into voting for them. The people who are pushing it in California are middle class people from the affirmative action generation who don't want to see it go the new justice on the Supreme Court is a progressive. She says the Fourteenth Amendment was for black people. I thought that once you write something into the constitution, it's for everybody. It's not just for black people, but we're living in a very weird time. And if we don't fight back on it, this country is not going to be the same because there are Asian people who are tired of it. They're tired of being kicked around and marginalized, sooner or later, I think, whites are going to have the same reaction, sometimes when people say we're losing our country, we don't take them seriously..

By sojourner truth, you know, aren't I a woman? And today people would say, I don't know, are you? These things that we all took for granted, the basics have been thrown into the blender, and it's very confusing. I'm one of the few white people I know who openly denounces Black Lives Matter, the organization, critical race theory. Why? Because I care about black communities in America. It is because I care that I say these things are evil. These things are going to harm people. If I thought they would actually help, I would keep my mouth shut. But I know that these things are going to harm black people in the country and harm everyone in the country. But you really have been speaking out against these things for so many years. Do you now live in California? You said you started life in Louisiana and you'd been in California for much of your life. I live in California now, real Linda.

Well, I'm glad that you're working on this new book and that you seem close to the end. We'd love to have you back when that book does come out. Ward's words, of course, you are ward, word Connor Lee. And can you tell my audience in the time we have remaining when you wrote your book creating equal? What do you mean by that title? And why did you decide fairly late in life to write this book? Well, I did not want to get involved in political activities. I was trying to make something of myself. I was trying to make sure my family had a good foundation that I was respected as a person. That meant having a successful business. I went on the board of regents as an appointed. That's not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country. I live by my ideals. And with that in mind, I try to do the best damn job I could as a region. And it all began for me or when I saw that the University of California, a tremendous institution, was discriminating against people. Applying different standards and lying about it. And lying under the cover of morality, we want to build diversity. Gee, that's a good thing, isn't it?.

"That sort of teaching. What is the, what is the first book that you wrote and when did you write that? The first book that I wrote was creating equal and I wrote that and 19 98, I believe it was second book was lessons from my uncle James. And I know you're working on a third book. Right, it's ward's words, and it's about the principle of equality. You know, I don't think that we really understand the founding at all as people we hear about. We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal. But our reality is, we're losing the feed. We're going to a break when we come back. We continue to conversation with ward Connolly folks. Do not miss this. Like the flowers needs The Rain you know I need you yes I'll start it all again you know I need you I need you I need you like the wind to me it's the spring and I'll need you guess I'll start it off tell me Eric, why is relief factor so successful at lowering or eliminating pain? I'm often asked that question the owners of relief factor tell me they believe our bodies were designed to heal. That's right designed to heal and I agree with them. So the doctors who formulated relief factor for them selected the four best ingredients, yes, 100% drug free ingredients, each helps your body deal with inflammation. Each of the four ingredients deals with inflammation from a different metabolic pathway. And that right there approaching from four different angles may be why so many people find such wonderful relief. So if you've got back pain, shoulder neck hip knee or foot pain from exercise or just getting older, you should order the three week quick start discounted to only 1995 to see if it will work for you. It works for me. It has for about 70% of the half a million people who've tried it and have ordered more, go to relief factor dot com or call 800 for relief to find out about this offer, feel the difference. Folks I have the privilege of speaking with ward, Connor Lee, born in 1939, still going strong. He wrote his first book creating equal in 1998, and I was just asking you ward as we went into the break. You were going to talk about the founding and I want you to talk about that. But what were you doing between graduation from college and up until the point that you wrote this first book? What did you get involved in? My first job was to work for the Sacramento redevelopment agency acquiring blighted properties, recycling them into better use for the highest and best use I did that for about three years. I then went on to work for the California legislature, I worked at the Department of State Department of Housing and community development. All of this was on the governmental trail because at that time, I wasn't really sure that I could find my way in the private sector coming out of Jim Crow. You really felt that the only ones that you could get an equal chance to demonstrate what you were capable of doing was government. And you look for those words we are at equal opportunity employer, which I did. I look for that..

"Ward Connolly. Welcome to the program. Thank you for having me on your show. I've been looking forward to this. Well, so have I taken us way too long, you are someone that your name has been out there for a long time as one of these heroes out there, an African American who is fighting against affirmative action and stuff. So I really always want to know people's story. Where did you, where does your story begin? I don't know how old you are now, but you've been around for some time and you've been busy for most of that time. Eric, I think the best way to answer your question is to mention that I was born in Louisiana in 1939. And there was a C on my birth certificate. It wasn't for child or Connery. It was for colored, and that C was supposed to have marked my path for my life and this great country. And throughout my life I've had to give meaning to that sea and the meaning was I'm an equal person. I'm entitled to the same rights as everybody else, no more, no less, and I have an opportunity to do something with my life. My life isn't what was given to me at birth. It's what I make of it. And so I have brought to the platform of life, the belief that equal really means equal. It's not a special privilege, it's not something that I should get compensation for or reparations for, but it's an equal chance to compete. And so I have resisted discrimination all my life, I have resisted preference of my life, all of my consciousness has been devoted to giving meaning to that term of equal.

"Ice cream castle in the air let's walk up it is my great privilege right now to have as my guest someone I think of as an American hero and a living legend if I can say that. His name is ward Connor Lee. Some of you know him and his work, where do I begin? Recently, I actually, I should say, no, during the early 90s, my guest would Connor Lee. He was then president of the California civil rights initiative campaign. He was the leading African American supporting proposition two O 9, which is a ballot initiative that outlawed affirmative action in California in 19 96. He successfully eliminated race based affirmative action in 9 states, he's recipient of the Ronald Reagan award for leadership from the California Republican party. He's written a number of books and by the grace of God he is my guest right now ward Connolly. Welcome to the program. Thank you for having me on your show. I've been looking forward to this. Well, so have I taken us way too long, you are someone that your name has been out there for a long time as one of these heroes out there, an African American who is fighting against affirmative action and stuff. So I really always want to know people's story. Where did you, where does your story begin? I don't know how old you are now, but you've been around for some time and you've been busy for most of that time..

And you ask me questions, people write in all these questions. We pick whatever we can squeeze in. But this time, somebody wrote in a question for me to ask you. Yes, about what you love about doing this job and what you hate about doing this job. And Alvin, I want you to be honest. I want you look. You could lose your job for being honest, but I want you to be honest. Yes, I will be. So that's an hour too. In the beginning of a rare moment of sincerity, whatever it is, honestly, whatever it is, okay? Do it. If you lose a job to lose a job, but you just be honest. They come, they go. So we should also say that in our first hour today, which is in a couple of minutes, we're talking to somebody, some of you know who this is, but I bet most of you don't. He's kind of a legend. His name is ward Connolly. He is a black American who has been unbelievably successful in fighting against affirmative action in California and around the country because he believes affirmative action is bad. Now this was in the 90s. And the man is just a legend really. I mean, he's been, he's been successful and very sweet person. So we're going to be talking to him, get his story of how he came to be who he is. And just in a couple of minutes, I should also say, today is bring your Bible to school day.

"Right everyone, welcome to the addicted mind podcast. Today, my guest is Henry ward and we are going to talk about, I guess, addiction and all things running. That's what I understand, right, Henry, you want to introduce yourself and tell us a little bit about you and I know that's kind of a short introduction right there. But that's okay. Hi, I'm Henry ward. I'm a recovering alcoholic and addict. I am 51 years old. I currently reside in Chandler, Arizona, with my wife, my son, my dog, my tortoise, my desert tortoise, this lives in the backyard, by the name of rocket. I was like to include him. All right. Yeah, and I've been out here for 5 years. I grew up in Boston. I was out here before. I grew up in Boston and I've lived both places twice. I run quite a bit nowadays, but that wasn't always the case before I kind of just ran from the police, no pun intended. But I didn't do anything to do with running. Right. So we're going to talk a little bit about your own recovery story, but we're also going to get into your charity running without the devil. And how you use that to help people and also your books that you wrote and stuff like that. But first, before we get into all of that, let's just kind of get into your story and how did this all start? So I grew up in Waltham, Massachusetts, in a middle class family, and alcohol was prevalent in my family and in the community. And I vowed never to drink. I didn't like what it turned people into. You know, including my father, both grandfathers, neighbors, every time my parents got together to play cards or there was a gathering, everybody kind of drank into oblivion, not everybody, but most people. And I certainly didn't like those people when they did those things. Yeah, those people weren't present and loud, obnoxious, just not themselves. And so I vowed never to drink. So I don't want to be like that. There's a chance that I think deep down inside, I knew I had this addictive gene. Subconsciously, there was a good chance that I could be just like them, so it was a complete turn off for me.

"There, it's max. So you might remember around this time last year we did a 5 part series of interviews with winners of the prestigious George Polk journalism award, and I am very happy to say we're back. We're doing it again. Every day this week, Monday through Friday, we're going to air an interview with a different Polk award winner discussing the work that earned them the award. And I just want to say on a somewhat optimistic note, the competition this year was stiff. The Polk awards got a record number of submissions this year, and from a record number of outlets, which just feels to me like a real testament to the enduring value and power and importance of investigative journalism. So some of the people that you'll hear from this week are folks that you've heard on the show before. But some of them are brand new to the podcast, including this first guest, claris award. Clarissa is the chief foreign correspondent at CNN. And she won her Polk award for her real-time coverage last summer from Afghanistan as the Taliban came to power and U.S. forces withdrew. You might remember it was a deeply chaotic time, and we talked about how she makes sense of the chaos of a moment like that. We also talked about how she managed to interview Taliban leaders amidst all that chaos. And I also was just curious about how she balances doing this job, reporting from conflicts and war zones. She actually talked to me from Ukraine with her life at home with her family. So here's my conversation with clarissa ward and stay tuned for the rest of the week. We got more interviews with George Polk award winners coming your way. Clarissa,.

"Watch out. Clara may ward was born in Philadelphia on April 21st, 1924. Her father, George ward was a hand crafter in iron worker. Her mother, Gertrude may Murphy ward, was a domestic worker to help keep the family afloat through The Great Depression. It was Gertrude, who set Clara on the path to singing stardom. Gertrude was a talented pianist and singer. In 1931, after receiving a vision in a dream. Gertrude began singing gospel music. She quickly recruited her young daughters, Clara, and her older sister willa, to perform in churches throughout Philly. Clara was just 7 years old at the time. The group called themselves the war to gospel trio. Gertrude was a good singer. But an even better promoter for her daughter. By the time she was 16, Clara recorded her first solo song. And after an acclaimed performance at the 1943 national baptist convention, the ward trio were de facto professionals in the gospel church circuit. Clara became the focal point of the ward trio. But alongside her success, also came discomfort with teenage stardom. Years later she'd reflect on the time with frustration at how much pressure her mother applied to her career. But there was no denying it. Clara was a star. Though she stood only 5 foot three and wait just over a hundred pounds. Clara's performance was a force to be reckoned with. Her alto voice reverberated through the air, her presence was supercharged with energy and her eye for showmanship was impeccable. As the group grew in members and experience, Clara moved into a leadership position behind the scenes and controlled its artistic direction. She ordered striking new gowns and bold new hairstyles to raise the group's profile. Literally. Legend has it. The group's wigs were so tall one night. They touched the ceiling. Clara also reworked the group's musical style beyond being a great singer. She was also a great arranger. One of the group's biggest hits surely introduced Walt's rhythms into the standard gospel tracks. The ward singers were also the first gospel group to use switch lead shouting quartets, previously only used by male gospel quartets. This allowed for each member to improvise and perform more freely on their solos. Claire even changed the script on what a gospel venue could look like, taking the word singers from churches into nightclubs and festivals. But she held fast to her beliefs no matter the venue,.

"So here's a quick end of year episode where I explain how to create a word podcast and why. Hello and welcome back to an end of year 2021 podcast monologue. I'm not interviewing anybody. It's just me. Kurt Franken, the host of leading saints. And I'm going to answer a question I've gotten a lot. And I'm going to make one episode and I can push people to that episode. If they have any questions about creating award podcast, award podcast, what is that exactly? Well, let me explain to you my approach of the word podcast. But I first. I first need to tell you that this is something I've done before in a previous ward. It worked phenomenally. This is something I'm working on doing in this current ward that I'm in. We're hit a few hiccups, but nothing we can't get past. And I'm currently serving in the ward mission. And so we're sort of folding it into the word mission and I'll explain that in a minute. But why would you ever want to create a ward podcast? Well, there's a few reasons. One is, in any organization, especially a church organization, community is the key. There's always this emphasis and concern about unity and award. And we sometimes think, okay, our warden needs to be more unified. So what we should do is we should have a pizza party. And we'll have a pizza party and people can talk, and it'll be great. But let me tell you, pizza parties are not the key toward unity. What the key toward unity is community, and the key to community is hearing each other's stories..

"Hello from wonder media network. I'm jenny kaplan and this is will manica today. We're talking about a woman. He believed so strongly in the rights of women to receive an education that she was willing to defy the traditions of the church and the edicts of the english government. Let's talk about. mary ward. Mary was born on january. Twenty third fifteen eighty five in england to a large roman catholic family at a time when catholic persecution was rampant. Mary was raised in religious households. When she was a teenager she lived with the family that maintained a strict schedule of prayer and instruction even had a priest secretly living in residence at the age of fifteen. Mary felt that god was calling to her to lead a religious life so she moved to northern france and joined a convent in sixteen o eight. Mary left france to found her own convent for english. After a year. Mary decided that living a life of contemplation and prayer. The standard for women involved in the catholic church wasn't enough enough for her. She also wanted to do active ministry. Work things like helping the poor founding schools and teaching christianity so mary gathered community of like minded women and they established an institute to run schools for girls in england. Mary's ambitions were highly controversial. For starters the english government was still heavily persecuting catholic people which meant that. Mary had to conduct her operations covertly and the catholic church wasn't on her side either. The church had ruled that women should stay in. Enclosed convents nuns. Despite these challenges. Mary pushed forward continuing to provide english girls with an education. She wrote there is no such difference between men and women that women may not do great matters. I hope in. God it will be seen that women in time to come. We'll do much in sixteen twenty one. Mary walked fifteen hundred miles to rome for an audience. With pope gregory the fifteenth. Mary wanted the pope to allow women to train for the same ministry work as men but the pope didn't grant her in person. Audience and mary never got an official decision about her proposal. Still mary continued establishing schools. All over europe in rome naples and perrugia munich vienna and pressburg all while petitioning the pope to allow women to stand on more equal footing in the church. Finally in sixteen thirty one hope urban the eighth issued a papal bull. That called. Mary a heretic. Her institute was dissolved. Mary was imprisoned in a tiny dirty cell and a munich convent. She wasn't allowed to speak to anyone and she wasn't given any writing materials to communicate with the outside world. She wrote letters in lemon juice on the back of paper. Her food came wrapped in in sixteen thirty to mary traveled to rome for trial. The pope acknowledged that. Mary was not a heretic but he refused to reopen her schools. Still mary's followers continued to teach in sixteen thirty nine amidst worsening health. Mary was allowed to return to england. On january. thirtieth. Sixteen forty five. Mary died she was sixteen years old. In nineteen o nine. The catholic church confirmed mary ward's institute and named her the founder a hundred years later pope benedict the sixteenth gave mary the title. Venerable commending her heroic virtue. Mary ward was champion for women's education. Her schools have helped educate countless girls across the globe and her perseverance and determination fundamentally reshaped.
