Peter Leithart, Jeff Meyers, James Bejon, and Alastair Roberts kick off a new series on the book of Malachi, beginning with a wide-angle look at the restoration era in which Malachi prophesied. Rather than treating this period as a mere gap between covenants - a so-called "intertestamental" silence - the team argues it represents a distinct and dynamic phase of covenant history, with its own new arrangements for the priesthood, the temple, the city of Jerusalem, and Israel's relationship to the Gentile nations. The conversation ranges from Ezra and Nehemiah's narrative logic to the dating of Malachi, the myth of 400 years of divine silence, and the ways Malachi's concerns anticipate the New Testament world Jesus enters. Timestamps (Aproximate) 0:00 — Welcome and introduction; transitioning from Hebrews to a new series on Malachi 1:00 — Overview of the restoration era; why "intertestamental" is a misleading term 3:00 — Jim Jordan's "Through New Eyes" and the idea that Israel never goes backward in covenant history 4:30 — "Latter days" / "last days" language; the 70 Weeks of Daniel as a framework for this period 5:30 — New features of the restoration era: the elevated role of the high priest 6:30 — A new temple, new geopolitical arrangements, and Israel's changed relationship with Gentile powers 8:30 — The holiness of Jerusalem extended to the city walls; Ezekiel's vision of the sacred territory 10:30 — Continuity with the law of Moses through Ezra, Nehemiah, and Malachi 12:00 — Ezra's role as teacher of the law; rebuilding the people alongside the house 13:00 — Malachi's focus on hypocrisy and priestly failure rather than open idolatry; anticipating New Testament concerns 15:00 — The sequence in Deuteronomy 30, Jeremiah 31, and Ezekiel 36 — scattering, regathering, new covenant, outpouring of the Spirit 17:00 — A partial outpouring of the Spirit in the restoration era; Zechariah's lampstand vision 18:30 — The spread of Judaism through the diaspora as a stage in Israel's mission to the Gentiles 19:30 — Why did the exiles not bring back idolatry from Babylon and Persia? 21:30 — Exile as the moment the law became an existential lifeline for Jewish identity 23:30 — The legacy of Daniel, Esther, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego as a unifying memory 25:00 — The restoration era as both the birth of the new covenant and the "thinning out" of the old 27:30 — Malachi's final word — cherem (curse of utter destruction) — and the doom hanging over the old covenant order 29:00 — The three phases of Ezra-Nehemiah — temple, people, city — as one unified project; the role of Haggai and Zechariah 37:00 — Dating Malachi: most likely during or after Nehemiah's absence from Jerusalem 40:30 — Malachi 3:1 ("I send my messenger") as potentially having a near fulfillment in Nehemiah's return 41:30 — The significance of Malachi's name meaning "my messenger" 42:30 — The chronology of Ezra-Nehemiah and the 70 Weeks; arguing for a compressed (~50-year) timeframe 45:30 — Debunking the "400 years of silence" myth — gaps in the canon are not gaps in God's speech 47:00 — 99% of God's people never witnessed a theophany; scrolls were always the ordinary means 48:30 — Daniel's visions as a prophetic bridge connecting the restoration era to the New Testament 49:30 — The rise of the synagogue and lay scriptural literacy in the diaspora; parallels to the Reformation 50:30 — Malachi 2 and the priests' neglected teaching vocation

The introduction to Matthew uses the story of the Exodus and the Exile to show Jesus as the conquering Messianic King. He has come to save the world from exile, defeat tyrants, and take back the promised land. But the Sermon on the Mount reframes that picture. Jesus is the Conquering King but the front line of His conquest is our heart.

IMAGINE YOU'RE a teenage boy kidnapped by a foreign army and dragged from your home to a land far far away, placed in a school to indoctrinate you in the ways of your pagan, polytheist captors, trying to survive while remaining faithful to the One True God. That's the beginning of the story of the prophet Daniel, and that is the focus of the new novel by this week's guest and regular contributor to our monthly Iron and Myth series, Brian Godawa (godawa.com). Brian, an award-winning screenwriter and best selling novelist, applies his gift of storytelling to the one of the most compelling characters of the Bible. Daniel saw the progression of the neo-Babylonian kingdom from the time of Nebuchadnezzar until it fell to the Persian king Cyrus the Great. Daniel: Exile in Babylon is the first of a trilogy that tells the story of Daniel, his life, and the warfare in the unseen realm between God's loyal angels and the fallen rebels who compete with one another for power, even as they strive against their creator, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.Click here for more background on Daniel: Exile in Babylon: https://godawa.com/product/daniel-part-1-babylonian-exile/

Political Undesirables: Citizenship, Denaturalization, and Reclamation in Iraq (Stanford UP, 2025) considers the legal making and unmaking of citizenship in Iraq, focusing on the mass denaturalization and deportation of Iraqi Jews in 1950–51 and Iraqis of Iranian origin in the early 1980s. Since the formation of the modern state of Iraq under British rule in 1921, practices of denaturalization and expulsion of citizens have been mobilized by ruling elites to curb political opposition. Iraqi politicians, under both monarchical and republican rule, routinely employed the rhetoric of threats to national security, treason, and foreignness to uproot citizens they deemed politically undesirable. Using archival documents, ethnographic research, and literary and autobiographical works, Zainab Saleh shows how citizenship laws can serve as a mechanism to discipline the population. As she argues, these laws enforce commitment to the state's political order and normative values and eliminate dissenting citizens through charges of betrayal of the homeland. Citizenship in Iraq, thus, has functioned as a privilege closely linked to loyalty to the state, rather than as a right enjoyed unconditionally. With the rise of nativism, right-wing nationalism, and authoritarianism all over the world, this book offers a timely examination of how citizenship can become a tool to silence opposition and produce precarity through denaturalization. Zainab Saleh is Associate Professor of Anthropology at Haverford College. She is the author of Return to Ruin: Iraqi Narratives of Exile and Nostalgia (Stanford, 2020). Geraldine Gudefin is a modern Jewish historian researching Jewish migrations, family life, and legal pluralism. She is currently a Visiting Scholar at the Centre for Asian Legal Studies at the National University of Singapore, and is completing a book titled An Impossible Divorce? East European Jews and the Limits of Legal Pluralism in France, 1900-1939.

3. The final segment shifts to the history of political assassination, specifically the rivalry between Stalin and Trotsky. Stalin utilized state power and paranoia to exile and eventually murder Trotsky in Mexico with an ice pick, yet Trotsky remained a romantic icon for the Western left. Gaius and Germanicus apply this lesson to the 21st century, arguing that the attempted "decapitation" of Iranian leadershiphas backfired. Instead of ending the regime, the strike has renewed the Islamic Republic's "lease on life,"much like the Nazi invasion inadvertently strengthened the Soviet Union. The debate concludes as the hosts prepare to watch Aeschylus's play, *The Persians*, which depicts the defeat of Xerxes. They reflect on the "tragic irony" of the current war: the US sought to eliminate a threat but instead unified its enemies and wrecked the global economy through $120 oil. (3)1945 YALTA

Nehemiah 1-3

In episode 336, Tagz and Wrecker talk about their first week of GGG's big changes to Path of Exile 1 via 3.28's Mirage. Builds, Atlas, league, progress...we actually talked about Path of Exile this week! (Thanks for tuning in each week! Love ya!)After a week of real life chaos, new pets, spring break planning, and recovering from sickness, Tagz and Wrecker finally settle in for a proper Path of Exile discussion as they dive into their first full week with 3.28 Mirage. From early league impressions to endgame Atlas progression, the duo compares how their builds, mapping strategies, and league experiences are shaping up so far.They talk about leveling speed in Mirage, the surprising amount of experience while progressing through maps, and how the Atlas changes are affecting progression. Wrecker experiments with Dominating Blow before switching builds due to visual overload and gameplay clarity issues, while Tagz pushes deeper into mapping and discusses Atlas strategies, voidstones, and boss progression. The conversation also touches on league stability, server issues, and how Mirage fits into the long tradition of Path of Exile leagues that tweak the endgame without completely redefining it.Of course, it wouldn't be Forever Exiled without some classic side tangents. Expect stories about adopting a massive puppy, spring break plans, Atlas frustrations, and the usual back-and-forth between two friends who have been playing Path of Exile for a very long time.Whether you're grinding maps, planning your next build, or just curious how Mirage is feeling after week one, Episode 336 has you covered.Forever Exiled Info:www.foreverexiled.comPatreonTwitter @ForeverExiled82Path of Exile WebsiteWrecker of Days Builds ListDiscord...FE Merch StoreFE Nexus Store

Daniel 4

Our Days Are NumberedSeries: Faithful in Exile Speaker: Dr. Wes FeltnerDate: 15th March 2026Passage: Daniel 5:1-31

Featuring: Ace, Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! This week we started off with some discussion about ITER-8 a Tower Defense game that has be bit of a different spin.  From there, Tam talks about The August Before and how it is essentially the reverse of Packing.  We reprise our Pokopia topic from last week and talk about how Tam's kid is probably in for a sad revelation as she desperately hunts for the missing humans.  Bel figured out what is missing from Last Epoch, and we talked a bit about the importance of a seasonal journey of some sort in forever games.  Tam realizes that he has solved Star Trek Online and how it is way less fun for him now.  Finally we talk a bit about Path of Exile and specifically Kodra's journey into winging a build by trying to figure out which skills work with Holy Strike.   Topics Discussed ITER-8 The August Before Pokopia Last Epoch Importance of a Seasonal Journey Tam Solves Star Trek Online Path of Exile Kodra winging Holy Strike

Daniel and the lion's den is one of the Bible's best-known stories. We rightly marvel at Daniel's devotion and God's deliverance; the former challenges us, while the latter assures God's people in exile still today. Yet it's what happened long before the lion's den that Scripture highlights for us in Daniel 6. "Then this Daniel began distinguishing himself among the commissioners and satraps because an extraordinary spirit was in him, and the king planned to set him over the entire kingdom," Daniel 6:3 (LSB). What set Daniel apart from all other leaders was not merely administrative talent, but an inner quality that consistently rose above the often-stormy environment encircling him. Years of private devotion had formed in Daniel an inner life that bore the fruit of excellence. This Lord's Day, we'll consider how God graciously built in Daniel the kind of character that kept him from flinching when loyalty to the Lord was not merely costly, but deadly. Join us as we turn to Daniel 6 and consider "God's People in Exile: Character Before Crisis." Prepare for Sunday: Read Daniel 6, meditating on verses 1-18. How was Daniel distinguished among the other royal court officials? What does the term "extraordinary" or "excellent" reveal about Daniel's character? Use Scripture elsewhere to support your answer. Why would Daniel's integrity provoke hostility rather than admiration? How is Daniel a foreshadowing of Christ?

If the Book of Genesis records the personal fall of man (adam) in the Garden, the Book of Kings (Sefer Melakhim) records the corporate fall of man (Israel) in the Promised Land. Originally a single, seamless work in the Hebrew canon, Kings is the autopsy of a spiritual collapse. It tracks the Davidic Promise from its architectural summit in Jerusalem to its apparent dissolution in the fires of Babylon. The Arc of Decay: From Temple to Exile The narrative spans approximately 410 years (c. 970 BCE – 560 BCE), following the tragic trajectory of "YHWH-plus" religion. The Summit (c. 970–930 BCE): The United Monarchy under Solomon. The Word of God is housed in the Jerusalem Temple, the location God chose to place his Name forever if only Israel will hear and obey the voice of their God. Tragically, the philosopher-king Solomon divides his loyalties and his affections. The Divided Monarchy (c. 930–722 BCE): As goes the heart of the king, so goes the Kingdom. The North (Israel) under Jeroboam immediately adopts YHWH-plus idolatry, the Golden Calves, leading to its total erasure by Assyria. The South (Judah) struggles to maintain the Davidic "Immune System" amidst a progressive slide into syncretism. The Collapse (c. 722–586 BCE): Despite the radical reforms of Hezekiah and Josiah, the culture of compromise - weaponized by Manasseh - becomes terminal. The book concludes with the Babylonian Captivity, as the means devised by God to carry His promise to completion. Authorship While Jewish tradition identifies the prophet Jeremiah as the author, conservative scholarship also recognizes the possibility of a 'Scribe of the Exile' (such as Baruch or Ezra) who compiled the royal archives and prophetic eyewitness accounts into a single, unified narrative. In any case, the author is no mere chronicler; he is a covenantal prosecutor. He evaluates every king by a single metric: Did they walk in the way of David and obey God's word, or did they seek a "Plus" to YHWH? History here is the public outworking of a nation's loyalty to the divine message.

To remind people to pray for persecuted believers as Hebrews 13:3 teaches: “Remember those who are in prison, as bound with them.” We’ve looked at Wang Yi and Early Rain Church’s writings in the aftermath of their arest in 2018, but I’ve also regularly turned to other persecuted ministers who have gone before, such as Richard Wurmbrand, to give us a voice literally from prison. Let me recommend a little book (Return of the Raider/The Amazing Story of Sergeant Jacob Deshazer), that I was tempted to cover in a full Prison Pulpit episode: https://jacobdeshazer.com/return-of-the-raider The Middle East continues to be in the spotlight this week. There is obviously much we do know to pray for, but I want to remind you that there is also so much we DO NOT KNOW.

If the Book of Genesis records the personal fall of man (adam) in the Garden, the Book of Kings (Sefer Melakhim) records the corporate fall of man (Israel) in the Promised Land. Originally a single, seamless work in the Hebrew canon, Kings is the autopsy of a spiritual collapse. It tracks the Davidic Promise from its architectural summit in Jerusalem to its apparent dissolution in the fires of Babylon. The Arc of Decay: From Temple to Exile The narrative spans approximately 410 years (c. 970 BCE – 560 BCE), following the tragic trajectory of "YHWH-plus" religion. The Summit (c. 970–930 BCE): The United Monarchy under Solomon. The Word of God is housed in the Jerusalem Temple, the location God chose to place his Name forever if only Israel will hear and obey the voice of their God. Tragically, the philosopher-king Solomon divides his loyalties and his affections. The Divided Monarchy (c. 930–722 BCE): As goes the heart of the king, so goes the Kingdom. The North (Israel) under Jeroboam immediately adopts YHWH-plus idolatry, the Golden Calves, leading to its total erasure by Assyria. The South (Judah) struggles to maintain the Davidic "Immune System" amidst a progressive slide into syncretism. The Collapse (c. 722–586 BCE): Despite the radical reforms of Hezekiah and Josiah, the culture of compromise - weaponized by Manasseh - becomes terminal. The book concludes with the Babylonian Captivity, as the means devised by God to carry His promise to completion. Authorship While Jewish tradition identifies the prophet Jeremiah as the author, conservative scholarship also recognizes the possibility of a 'Scribe of the Exile' (such as Baruch or Ezra) who compiled the royal archives and prophetic eyewitness accounts into a single, unified narrative. In any case, the author is no mere chronicler; he is a covenantal prosecutor. He evaluates every king by a single metric: Did they walk in the way of David and obey God's word, or did they seek a "Plus" to YHWH? History here is the public outworking of a nation's loyalty to the divine message.

To remind people to pray for persecuted believers as Hebrews 13:3 teaches: “Remember those who are in prison, as bound with them.” We’ve looked at Wang Yi and Early Rain Church’s writings in the aftermath of their arest in 2018, but I’ve also regularly turned to other persecuted ministers who have gone before, such as Richard Wurmbrand, to give us a voice literally from prison.

On this week's episode, Bakhti sits down with Nastassia Rouda, director of Nasha Niva, a Belarusian media outlet operating in exile in Vilnius. Rouda discusses how she and her colleagues have used new types of content and social media to remain relevant and grow their audience inside of Belarus, even as Belarusians experience economic downturn and political repression. She talks about how she and other hosts on their network rely on humor to keep hope alive for a freer future for their country and maintain interest in free media among the millions of Belarusians of all ages who tune into their online shows.  --- Nastassia Rouda is the director of Nasha Niva, Belarus's oldest newspaper. Founded in 1906 upon Belarus's independence, the paper is best known for its role in preserving Belarusian language, culture, and art. The paper closed in 1914 as it became illegal to criticize their government during World War I and was re-established in 1991. In the 2010's, Nasha Niva moved online and became one of the most popular websites in Belarus. In 2020, following Nasha Niva's coverage of the Belarusian presidential election and subsequent protests, the KGB declared the paper an extremist organization, arresting reporters and forcing many others into exile.  Nasha Niva continues to operate from Vilnius, Lithuania and remains popular, especially thanks to their video content, which receives millions of views on YouTube and TikTok from Belarusians. In order to remain popular and relevant, the paper has innovated in a variety of ways since 2020, finding ways to evade censorship, recruiting young reporters, and developing comedic content. Nasha Niva's online comedy and satirical shows poking fun at Lukashenka and other political elites in Belarus are particularly popular. This podcast is hosted by Bakhti Nishanov and produced by Alanna Novetsky in conjunction with the Senate Recording Studio

In this message from The Epic of the City, Pastor Robey Barnes looks at Israel's exile to Babylon and reveals how God used what seemed like defeat to accomplish His greater purpose. Rather than simply surviving in a foreign land, God called His people to settle in, build lives, and seek the Shalom—the peace and flourishing—of the city where they had been sent. In the same way, followers of Jesus today are called to live as faithful exiles in their own communities, praying for broken places and working for the good of the city around them. Even in difficult seasons, God's promise remains true: He has plans to bring hope, restoration, and a future for His people.

The conversation with formulator Matt Legge pulls back the curtain on the supplement industry, framing it as a metaphysical struggle between genuine intent and the corporate Machine. Matt's journey is a hero's exile from structures like Metagenics, which prioritize efficiency over the soul of the product. This machine churns out soulless, AI-generated formulas that chase "white space," utterly neglecting the deep clinical insight of Root Cause Analysis—a meditation of the pulse. The founder's sacrifice creates the Pearl of Reciprocity, the organizational soul. The primary struggle is protecting this soul from "middle management" by constantly acting as the Chief Reminding Officer (CRO). The ultimate takeaway is a profound choice: to ethically play the regulatory puzzle with a full-spectrum approach and prioritize being the most respected—the "early bird gets the worm"—over merely being the biggest.   CORE INSIGHTS: [1:00-1:50] The Formulator's "Exile" and the Call to Invent: Deemed "unemployable" by a major practitioner brand due to his excess of innovative ideas, Matt Legge was effectively pushed to start his own supplement brand. [2:30-3:30] Critique of Claim-Driven Formulation: The core problem in the supplement industry is formulating for claims using single, trademarked extracts, disregarding the natural synergy of multi-ingredient or whole-herb formulations. [5:30-6:30] The Threat of AI-Generated Formulas: New brands often use AI or agencies to formulate identical, "soulless" products (e.g., Ashwagandha, B6, Magnesium Glycinate) based on market "white space," which sidesteps genuine root cause analysis. [9:30-10:30] Root Cause as Clinical "Meditation": Identifying the true root cause is subjective, requiring deep clinical insight—like a "meditation" of the pulse—that goes beyond generic university diagnoses. [11:30-13:00] The Limitations of RCTs in Natural Medicine: The parachute analogy to argue that natural medicine, with thousands of years of traditional use, does not always require modern RCTs that often exclude the sick people the medicine is meant to help. [14:00-15:30] The "Pearl of Reciprocity" and Organizational Soul: Mason views a founder's genuine intent and sacrifice as creating the "Pearl of Reciprocity"—a metaphysical, organizational soul that guides the company toward its purpose of "health and harmony." [29:00-30:00] The Chief Reminding Officer (CRO): To combat high staff turnover ("The Wiggles Theory"), the founder must act as the "Chief Reminding Officer" (CRO), perpetually repeating the brand's foundational ethos and "campfire stories" to maintain its core cultural spirit. [35:30-36:30] Innovation Stifled by Middle Management: Middle management, lacking the company's ethos, stifled innovation by rejecting Matt's inventions because a market segment for the original ideas did not yet exist. [54:30-56:00] The Ethical Full-Spectrum Formulation Approach: Modern ethical formulation uses a nuanced approach: combining standardized extracts (for regulatory claims) with full-spectrum whole herbs to ensure nature's full synergy.

Prince William is said to be tightening the screws behind palace walls, pushing total separation from Andrew and bristling at Queen Camilla's perceived warmth toward Sarah Ferguson.

A Divine SubmissionSeries: Faithful in Exile Speaker: Dr. Wes FeltnerDate: 8th March 2026Passage: Daniel 4:1-37

Lamentations reflects poetically on the exile of Judah, the sacking of Jerusalem, and (most critically) the destruction of the temple. Exile presented a theological crisis for the people of God: What of God's promises to Israel? What of God's blessing upon the people - including land, security, a king on David's throne, and the promise of his presence among them? Without ever presenting easy answers to these difficult questions, and with barely a note of hope, Lamentations wrestles with how Jerusalem and her people could have been brought into such a desolate estate. Today we are in Lamentations 1:1-22.It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting, for this is the end of all mankind, and the living will lay it to heart. Sorrow is better than laughter, for by sadness of face the heart is made glad. The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,  but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.

From our series in 1 Peter "Hope in Exile." Dr. Joel reminds us of our identity in Christ from 1 Peter 2:1-12.

Lamentations March 08, 2026 Teacher: Pastor Dave Brown The message explains that many people look forward to Lamentations 3 because it finally introduces hope, but that hope has to be understood within the structure and emotional movement of the entire book. Lamentations doesn't offer quick fixes or simplistic spiritual answers; instead, it honestly portrays how real grief works. The book follows a chiastic structure — a literary “mountain” that rises toward a central point and then descends in reverse order. In Lamentations, the structure looks like this: A: Devastation B: Accusation C: Remembrance (the central peak) B': Reflection A': Petition This structure mirrors how sorrow actually feels: pain → hope struggle → pain again — but the second pain is different because it has been reshaped by remembrance. To illustrate, the speaker tells a story of a brutal bike climb up Smugglers Notch in Vermont. Reaching the summit felt like it should be the end, but instead the road immediately plunged downward into danger, rain, cold, and exhaustion. The lesson: reaching the “summit” didn't end the struggle, but it changed everything. That experience parallels the emotional journey of Lamentations 3. In the chapter, we hear an exhausted “strongman” voice say, “But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope…” This moment is the theological summit — but the book doesn't end there. Pain returns in chapters 4–5. The city is still ruined. Exile is still real. But the heart posture has changed. Before remembrance, God felt like an enemy; after remembrance, the people can say, “Restore us, O Lord.” Hope doesn't erase hardship — it reorients the heart within it. Lamentations 3 shows that hope is not automatic. The strongman speaks hope to himself: “This I call to mind…” “I say to myself…” Hope is fought for, practiced, and rehearsed, not simply felt. The passage reveals three essential truths about biblical hope: Hope is intentional remembrance. He chooses to recall God's covenant love. Hope doesn't replace lament — it deepens it. Even after declaring God's faithfulness, he continues to speak honestly about affliction and waiting. Hope provides endurance, not instant relief. Waiting “quietly” for God is active, anchored perseverance. By the end, the writer's circumstances remain unchanged — Jerusalem is still in ruins — but something inside him has stabilized. That inner steadying is itself an act of grace. The message concludes by reminding us that many of us are somewhere on that mountain: climbing, descending, exhausted, or caught in unexpected weather. Lamentations gives permission to tell the truth about pain. Hope is not pretending everything is fine but speaking covenant truths into unfinished stories. The lament tree in the lobby symbolizes this: a communal place to name sorrow and reach for hope together. Finally, the message points to Christ, who personally entered lament and suffering. So when we rehearse hope through clenched teeth, we are not failing— we are walking the same honest path God Himself walked. The storm may persist, but God's mercies remain new every morning, and that is enough.

God calls the proud to humble themselves. What happens, though, when the proud refuse to be humbled? "... The God in whose hand are your life-breath and all your ways, you have not honored... you have been weighed on the scales and found lacking," Daniel 5:23,27 (LSB). Babylon's acting king, Belshazzar, ignored history, shut his eyes to God's revelation, and disregarded prophetic warnings. He partied and pretended importance while enemy armies camped around his capitol city. The handwriting on the wall of his extravagant banquet hall turned Belshazzar's proud revelry to reality: "That same night the Chaldean king was killed," Daniel 5:30. Belshazzar's end still warns us today: God's sovereign justice is at times swift and final. For God's people living in exile, the proud king's fall is an encouragement that no arrogant empire or ruler stands forever. God will bring down all the proud; some He humbles and restores. Others He humbles and judges with finality. God's people find their hope in the One whose life was weighed and found perfect, lacking in nothing. The perfect righteousness of Christ is our only safe harbor from the wrath that awaits all who are judged by their own merit. I hope you'll join us this Sunday as we turn to Daniel 5 and consider, "God's People in Exile: Weighed and Found Lacking." Prepare for Sunday: Read all of Daniel 5 and meditate on verses 22-30. Based on the text, how would you describe Belshazzar's feast? What is his tone in speaking to Daniel? Why does Daniel emphasize "even though you knew all this" in verse 22? What does the writing on the wall reveal about God's justice? On what scale are we tempted to "weigh" our

Isabella of Angoulême: The Scandalous Queen of England Who Helped Spark a War In this episode of Queens Podcast, Katy and Nathan unpack the chaotic life of Isabella of Angoulême, the controversial Queen of England and wife of King John. Married at just twelve to the 33-year-old king, Isabella's union helped ignite political turmoil between England and France, contributing to the loss of Normandy and the instability that led to the Magna Carta. Chroniclers painted her as a “Jezebel,” blaming her for wars, rebellion, and even witchcraft. After King John's dramatic death in 1216, Isabella returned to France, remarried in scandalous fashion, and continued making waves well into her fifties. Troublemaker or survivor? From child queen to dowager rebel, this is one of medieval England's most misunderstood women.
