John Spencer, Chair of Urban Warfare Studies at the Modern War Institute at West Point and host of the Urban Warfare Project podcast, joins the show to break down how the U.S. and Israel are executing a 'neurological' campaign—using precision, targeted strikes on the Iranian Regime and its center of gravity. A strategy that’s as old as Clausewitz but more relevant than ever. How are the U.S. and Israel balancing the psychological impact of their precision strikes in tandem with the more traditional threat of brute force? What might this approach reveal about today’s conflicts, and how might it influence the next global showdown? ▪️ Times 03:25 Targeting as strategy 10:40 Neurological strike 20:16 An evolution in military affairs 26:30 Adaptation 30:48 Center of gravity 39:37 The missile program Follow along on Instagram, X @schoolofwarpod , and YouTube @SchoolofWarPodcast Find more content on our School of War Substack Learn more about your ad choices.

In 2003, one of the most consequential urban operations in modern military history took place as US forces approached Baghdad from the south—the battle for control of the Iraqi capital, including the armored " thunder runs " that collapsed Saddam Hussein’s regime. Drawing from his firsthand experience as the commander of 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division during the battle, retired General David Perkins joins John Spencer in this episode to recount how roughly a thousand American soldiers conducted two rapid and aggressive assaults into Baghdad, during the second of which they seized and held the center of a city of six million against entrenched Republican Guard forces. He describes how US soldiers overwhelmed stiff enemy resistance with speed, combined arms integration, disciplined mission command, and relentless momentum.

In January 2018, Mossad operatives infiltrated a secret warehouse in Tehran, Iran, broke into dozens of massive safes, and in just under seven hours extracted more than one hundred thousand documents and over half a ton of material detailing Iran’s covert nuclear weapons program. The raid, code-named Operation Stealing the Reality, was the result of two years of planning. In this episode, John Spencer speaks with Yossi Cohen, the former director of Mossad who led the organization through this extraordinary urban operation. Their conversation reveals the extraordinary detail, preparation, and risk behind a raid that changed history.

Monday, November 13:On this week's episode of The Daily Grind with John Spencer we delve into Week Ten of our exploration of "Celebration Of Discipline" by Richard Foster. This time, we're focusing on Chapter 10: The Discipline of Worship. Foster takes us on a journey through the concept of "holy expectancy" in worship, drawing inspiration from biblical figures like Moses, Isaiah, and John. Discover the transformative power of approaching worship with a heart tuned to God's divine initiative. From the awe-inspiring scenes in Solomon's temple to the revelations on Patmos, we explore how these extraordinary encounters can inspire our seemingly ordinary worship experiences. Join us as we discuss George Fox's advice on meeting in the Name of Jesus and Foster's insights on cultivating holy expectancy in our daily lives. Learn how maintaining a quiet inner posture of listening, worshiping, and talking with God can deepen our connection with the divine and shape our thoughts, actions, and conversations. Don't miss this insightful episode that encourages us to go beyond the routine and connect with Jesus in our everyday moments. Check out the show notes for Foster's recommended scripture reading to enhance your journey of ongoing connection with God. Richard Foster recommends these daily scripture readings as explore worship this week: Monday : Worship in spirit and truth – John 4:19–24 Tuesday : Communion: the essence of worship – John 6:52–68, 63 Wednesday : The life of worship – Ephesians 5:18–20, Colossians 3:16–17 Thursday : The Lord high and lifted up – Isaiah 6:1–8 Friday : Sing to the Lord – Psalm 96 Saturday : Worship of all creation – Psalm 148 Sunday : Worthy is the Lamb – Revelation 5:6–14

Tuesday, 8 August: In this episode of The Daily Grind, we're exploring Colossians 2:6-15 with host John Spencer. Paul's letter to the Colossians is full of rich theology, but in this passage, he focuses on practical advice for how believers can grow in their faith. Spencer unpacks Paul's teaching on faith, works, and gratitude, and shows how these three concepts are all interconnected. He also offers some helpful tips for how we can apply these truths to our own lives. Here are some of the key takeaways from the episode: Our salvation is a gift from God, but it's not a free pass to live however we want. We are called to live a life of good works, which are a natural outflow of our faith. We should never neglect the importance of gratitude. When we take the time to thank God for all he's done for us, it deepens our faith and strengthens our relationship with him. The best way to grow in our faith is to keep walking in Jesus. This means being rooted in his Word, following his example, and relying on his power. If you're looking for a deeper understanding of how to walk in Jesus, this episode is for you!

When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, one of its first targets was the city of Mariupol. Despite being outnumbered by—and less well equipped than—their adversaries, Ukrainian defenders held out for three months. As the Russian siege of the city intensified, Ukrainian forces defended a shrinking perimeter with a command post in the Azovstal steel plant. One of those Ukrainian defenders was Sergeant Arseniy Fedosiuk. He joins John Spencer on this episode, relaying his experience in Mariupol, exploring the unique challenges of defending urban terrain against a superior enemy, and describing what happened at the end of the three-month battle, when he was taken prisoner by Russian forces.
