  • "The Burden of Duty & The Breaking of a Quiet Man"

    "The Burden of Duty & The Breaking of a Quiet Man"
    2025/12/16
    — The Burden of Duty: The Breaking of a Quiet Man (Robert “Bud” McFarlane)


    Series: Kingdom People in the Pages of History (Robert Timberg’s The Nightingale’s Song)


    Length: ~49:41 • Date: Dec 16, 2025 • Host: Matt “The Great Matt Gibe” Geib


    Episode Summary


    In this installment, Matt steps into the life of Robert “Bud” McFarlane—Marine officer, strategist, and National Security Advisor (1983–1985)—as portrayed in The Nightingale’s Song. Through a story-driven opening set in the West Wing, the episode explores what happens when duty becomes a crushing burden, when loyalty drifts from truth, and when isolation turns a “quiet leader” into a “lone ranger.” Along the way, Matt weaves in Scripture to highlight wisdom, counsel, community, and God’s restoring grace—ending with a pastoral prayer for Washington State amid severe storms and flooding.




    What You’ll Hear in This Episode




    • A vivid scene: McFarlane alone in the West Wing—Lebanon, Iran, hostages, and impossible decisions on his desk



    • McFarlane’s formation: Vietnam, leadership under pressure, and the loneliness of command



    • Iran-Contra’s moral fault line: “ends justify the means” reasoning and its spiritual cost



    • A core Kingdom warning: good people can make harmful decisions when isolated



    • The healing arc: shame, collapse, a suicide attempt, survival, humility, and later reflection



    • A powerful metaphor: electricity as “silent power” — leadership volume vs. leadership power



    • Final applications for quiet leaders: boundaries, counsel, accountability, and grace





    Key Scriptures Referenced (as taught in the episode)




    • Proverbs 20:27 — the spirit of man as the Lord’s lamp



    • Ecclesiastes 7:19 — wisdom strengthening more than rulers



    • James 1:5 — asking God for wisdom



    • Proverbs 24:6; 11:14 — victory and safety through counselors



    • Colossians 2:3; Isaiah 9:6 — Christ as the source of wisdom / Wonderful Counselor



    • Ephesians 4:15–16 — truth in love; the body joined together



    • Joshua 1:9 — courage with God’s presence



    • Matthew 11:28 — rest for the weary



    • Galatians 6:2 — bear one another’s burdens



    • 1 Peter 5:7 — cast anxieties on Him



    • Proverbs 14:12 — a way that seems right



    • Ecclesiastes 4:9 — two are better than one



    • 2 Corinthians 4:6–12 (Amplified) — pressed but not crushed; not driven to despair

  • "Goads & Nails From The Good Shepherd" -- Ecc. 12:11

    "Goads & Nails From The Good Shepherd" -- Ecc. 12:11
    2025/12/12
    Goads and Nails from the Good Shepherd

    Ecclesiastes 12:11

    In this devotional-focused episode of The Kingdom Corner Podcast, Matt Geib reflects on Ecclesiastes 12:11 and the profound imagery of goads and well-driven nails—two metaphors that reveal how God lovingly shapes, corrects, and establishes His people through His Word.


    Drawing from his devotional book Searching for Significance: A Devotional Journey Through Ecclesiastes, Matt explores how the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ, both lovingly prods us forward and anchors us firmly in truth.


    Key Themes & Teaching Points


    • The One Shepherd

    • Ecclesiastes’ “one shepherd” points prophetically to Jesus Christ—the Good Shepherd revealed in the New Covenant (John 10; Isaiah 40).



    • Goads: Loving Conviction & Direction

    • Goads were tools used by shepherds to keep sheep moving in the right direction. Scripture functions the same way—convicting, correcting, and redirecting us when we wander (Acts 2:37–38; Psalm 119:71).



    • Nails: Stability & Establishment

    • God’s Word is also like firmly embedded nails—fixing us, grounding us, and keeping us rooted in Christ (Psalm 1; Ephesians 3:17–19).



    • Discipline as Love

    • Drawing from Hebrews 12, Matt reflects on how divine discipline—though uncomfortable—produces righteousness, maturity, and peace.



    • Words That Spur the Will & Shape the Heart

    • Wise words do more than inform; they move us to obedience and remain lodged in our memory, shaping our character and future.



    Scriptures Highlighted


    • Ecclesiastes 12:9–11



    • John 10:11–16



    • Isaiah 40:11



    • Acts 2:37–38



    • Psalm 119:11, 71



    • Psalm 1:1–3



    • Ephesians 3:17–19



    • Hebrews 12:5–11



    • 1 Timothy 6:17–19



    Closing Reflection

    God’s Word is never random or harsh—it is loving, precise, and purposeful. The Good Shepherd knows when to gently goad us forward and when to firmly anchor us in truth, so that we may walk in holiness, wisdom, and spiritual maturity.

  • A Warrior in Washington: The Oliver North Dilemma

    A Warrior in Washington: The Oliver North Dilemma
    2025/12/10
    Episode Title

    A Warrior in Washington: The Oliver North Dilemma

    Kingdom People in the Pages of History – The Nightingale’s Song Series


    Episode Description (for podcast apps)

    In this episode of The Kingdom Corner Podcast, Matthew Geib continues Kingdom People in the Pages of History by spotlighting Oliver North — a Marine forged in the fire of Vietnam who carried his warrior mindset into the shadowy world of Washington politics. From jungle battlefields to the Iran–Contra hearings, we explore how zeal, patriotism, and a “fixer” mentality collided with God’s unbending standard of obedience. Through the lives of King Saul, the apostle Peter, and Oliver North, Matthew asks a piercing question: do good intentions ever justify compromised methods in the Kingdom of God?


    Main Segments & Flow1. Opening Scene: A Battlefield in a Hearing Room


    • Vivid retelling of the Iran–Contra hearings:




    • Hot TV lights, packed chamber, America watching.



    • Oliver North in immaculate dress blues, medals flashing — a warrior under scrutiny.



    • The key question: “Did you knowingly violate the laws of the United States?”





    • Framing question:




    What happens when a man believes the cause is righteous enough to justify anything?



    • Matthew sets the theme: not just North on trial, but America’s conscience and the age-old question:




    Does a good end ever excuse a compromised path?



    2. From Annapolis to Vietnam: Forged in Fire


    • North enters the Naval Academy in 1963, then serves as a Marine in Vietnam.



    • Reputation as a “Marine’s Marine”:




    • Leads from the front, won’t ask others to do what he wouldn’t.



    • Decorated for valor, intuitive sense for combat and survival.





    • Core worldview forged in battle:




    • Evil must be decisively confronted.



    • Hesitation costs lives.



    • America must always act boldly.





    • Key idea: the warrior never really left the battlefield; the terrain just moved from jungle to Washington.



    3. The Iran–Contra Web: Zeal Outrunning Ethics


    • Context: Nicaragua – Sandinistas (Soviet/Cuban-backed) vs. Contras.



    • North and others believe stopping communism in Central America is a moral imperative.



    • Problem: Congress refuses funding for the Contras.



    • Birth of Iran–Contra:




    • Secret arms sales to Iran (against U.S. policy/sanctions).



    • Profits quietly funneled to support the...
