[REBROADCAST FROM June 5, 2020] Last summer, amid historic racial justice protests and the first citywide curfew since World War II, Alison hosted an evening special as part of our "WNYC At Curfew" coverage. John Schaefer joined to discuss protest music and how it has been used in social movements across our history, and even also brought a list of his favorite tracks to play.   This segment was picked by our Producer Zach Gottehrer-Cohen.

Former Post Bulletin reporter Thomas Weber shares how Hamilton was among the top five options for the Northwest Rochester high school.

For some reason, celebrities are feeling the need to tell people whether or not they shower this week, so 'Tea Time' put together a conclusive list of celebrities who do and do not bathe (2:01). Plus, Lily Rose Depp has a new boyfriend and Bennifer is house hunting (16:03). This week's Cringe Mode is 'Dear John' (23:37), and who gave John Stamos a People cover (41:40)?

Warmerdam Tutorial with videos Utilities to check for valid Python code within markdown files and markdown formatted docstrings. Example: import pathlib import pytest from mktestdocs import check_md_file @pytest.mark.parametrize('fpath', pathlib.Path("docs").glob("**/*.md"), ids=str) def test_files_good(fpath): check_md_file(fpath=fpath) This will take any codeblock that starts with ```python and run it, checking for any errors that might happen. Putting assert statements in the code block will actually check things. Other examples in README.md for markdown formatted docstrings from functions and classes. Suggested usage is for code in mkdocs documentation. I'm planning on trying it with blog posts. Michael #2: Redis powered queues (QR3) via Scot Hacker QR queues store serialized Python objects (using cPickle by default), but that can be changed by setting the serializer on a per-queue basis. There are a few constraints on what can be pickled, and thus put into queues Create a queue: bqueue = Queue('brand_new_queue_name', host='localhost', port=9000) Add items to the queue >> bqueue.push('Pete') >> bqueue.push('John') >> bqueue.push('Paul') >> bqueue.push('George') Getting items out >> bqueue.pop() 'Pete' Also supports deque, or double-ended queue, capped collections/queues, and priority queues. David #3: 25 Pandas Functions You Didn't Know Existed Bex T So often, I come across a pandas method or function that makes me go “AH!” because it saves me so much time and simplifies my code Example: Transform Don't normally like these articles, but this one had several “AH” moments between styler options convert dtypes mask nasmallest, nalargest clip attime Brian #4: FastAPI and Rich Tracebacks in Development Hayden Kotelman Rich has, among other cool features, beautiful tracebacks and logging. FastAPI makes it easy to create web API's This post shows how to integrate the two for API's that are easy to debug. It's really only a few simple steps Create a dataclass for the logger config. Create a function that will either install rich as the handler (while not in production) or use the production log configuration. Call logging.basicConfig() with the new settings. And possibly override the logger for Uvicorn. Article contains all code necessary, including examples of the resulting logging and tracebacks. Michael #5: Dev in Residence I am the new CPython Developer in Residence Report on first week Łukasz Langa: “When the PSF first announced the Developer in Residence position, I was immediately incredibly hopeful for Python. I think it's a role with transformational potential for the project. In short, I believe the mission of the Developer in Residence (DIR) is to accelerate the developer experience of everybody else.” The DIR can: providing a steady review stream which helps dealing with PR backlog; triaging issues on the tracker dealing with issue backlog; being present in official communication channels to unblock people with questions; keeping CI and the test suite in usable state which further helps contributors focus on their changes at hand; keeping tabs on where the most work is needed and what parts of the project are most important. David #6: Dagster Dagster is a data orchestrator for machine learning, analytics, and ETL Great for local development that can be deployed on Kubernetes, etc Dagit provides a rich UI to monitor the execution, view detailed logs, etc Can deploy to Airflow, Dask, etc Quick demo?

Welcome back to Light the Wick, our deep dive into the “John Wick” franchise. This week we are joined once again by David Leitch, superstar co-director of the first “John Wick.” In this installment, Leitch talks about his most recent film (as a producer) “Nobody,” and his upcoming film (as a director), “Bullet Train,” starring Brad Pitt and Sandra Bullock. (Spoiler alert: it sounds very cool.) Also learn what he took from working with David Fincher and hear stories from the set of “Anchorman 2.”

In this episode of Walking with Jesus, Evan and Malcolm reason over Luke 3 and discuss the role John the Baptist played in the ministry of Jesus. 'John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: ' Luke 3:16 https://my.bible.com/bible/1/LUK.3.16 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/walking-with-jesus/message

We've checked back into the Continental for another installment of Light the Wick. This time we are chatting with David Leitch, co-director of the first “John Wick.” We talk about why he doesn't actually receive co-directing credit on the first film, discuss the differences from the script to the film version, and what his involvement in the franchise is today. Plus, we attempt to get him to agree to make “Atomic Blonde 2.” We get pretty close.

John Richards is the 84th speaker on a special - extended edition of the Wolf Whistle podcast. John talks through his 14 year career at Wolves which encompassed 486 appearances, 194 goals, 2 League Cups and an England cap. John also speaks about his time at Wolves on the board, and subsequently working as Managing Director and speaks fondly about the club he has had a 50+ year association with in ....'King John'.

For this all new episode of Light the Wick, we're once again chatting with master cinematographer Dan Laustsen, who shot “John Wick: Chapter 2” and "Chapter 3." This time we discuss the challenges of bloody squibs before moving onto his long collaboration with Guillermo del Toro (set to continue with this year's “Nightmare Alley”), including a few projects that never happened. We then quiz him on several of his other projects including “Brotherhood of the Wolf” and “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.”

If you're new to property investing and still working out all the basics or if you have 1 or 2 modestly valued properties, you may have never even heard of land tax.  Land tax is a state based tax that is issued by each state government to property investors that own land as an investment with a land value above a state based threshold.  Why should you know anything about this potentially dry and non exciting subject? Because understanding this correctly can be the difference between paying the government a massive tax bill or keeping that money in your pocket.    This episode we talk with CPA Economist and property investor Gavin Swan about: - What is land tax  - How you can minimise it  - What is in your control right now to start planning your portfolio in a way that could possibly avoid it altogether  We going to be doing this by using 2 hypothetical investors 'Jane' & 'John'. Both Jane and John hold the same portfolio in almost every way but one (check out the facebook page for Jane & John's details).https://www.facebook.com/2111096335696398/posts/2785516481587710/ Jane owns property in different states and John owns only in QLD.  This episode is going to be more fun than you think and could potentially save you from paying massive amounts of tax in the future.    Find out more about Gavin Swan: http://www.absoluteaccountingservices.com.au/our-team   Join me “Todd Sloan” each week,  as I dig deep into the lives and experiences of a different industry leader and property investors each week to bring you the best property content in the country.

We're back in the bullet-riddled world of Light the Wick, as we interview the genuinely incredible cinematographer Dan Laustsen, who shot “John Wick: Chapter 2” and "Chapter 3." In this installment we speak to Laustsen about the fun of shooting action sequences, working with Keanu Reeves, the challenges of filming on location in New York City (especially Chinatown), and how important lighting is in the franchise. Also: find out what colors are off-limits in the "John Wick" universe!

The wonderful story of the Forerunner's conception and birth is told in the first chapter of the Gospel according to Luke. Together with the Most Holy Theotokos and Christ Himself, both his conception and his birth are commemorated as Feasts of the Church. His name, Johanan in Hebrew, means "The Lord is Gracious."   The Prologue adds: "The news of the angel's appearing to Zacharias, of his dumbness and of the loosening of his tongue at the exact moment that he wrote 'John', was carried throughout all Israel, coming to Herod's ears. So, when he sent men to kill all the infants around Bethlehem, he sent men off to Zacharias' family house in the hills, to slay John also. But Elisabeth hid the child in good time. The king was enraged at this, and sent an executioner to the Temple to kill Zacharias (for it was then his turn to serve in the Temple again). Zacharias was killed between the court and the Temple, and his blood clotted and solidified on the paving slabs, and remained as an enduring witness against Herod. Elisabeth hid herself and the child in a cave, where she soon died. The young John remained in the wilderness alone, in the care of God and His angels." See September 5.

Their life was like a ship heading for the rocks, but with new words and affirmations, the ship slowly began to steer in a new direction. Thoughts change when we take charge. ‘Bitch.' That was the word on the pendant necklace hanging around her neck. I was visiting her at her temporary home. Temporary because this was the psych ward. She was in there because she wanted to kill herself. I wondered if any of the psychiatrists and mental health people would challenge her on the words that hung around her neck. I hoped so. Then again, we live in such a politically correct, super sensitive, non-directive world that maybe no one would say a thing. I told her that she wasn't a bitch, and having that word hung around her neck was having a corrosive effect on her soul. Every day she had it around her neck. It reinforced a thinking track, a rut, a groove. Every day that path got deeper and deeper. The power of a word to steer What's a word that has been worked and ruminated into your subconscious? Maybe it's a word that was spoken at you from a very young age, and you have adopted it as your own: parents, siblings, schoolyard bullies, to name but a few options with cursing tongues. Then you have nurtured that little word, kept repeating it, and every time you made a mistake or stumbled, it confirmed the ‘truth' of that word for you. Then you added a few other words. The super-powerful words of ‘I am.' You created an affirmation. You were firming up the word to be part of your identity. I am stupid I am a bitch I am an idiot I am a failure I am a fool I am a _____ (name your poisoned words) It's those little words that we probably don't say out loud, but instead, we whisper them in our souls. We have done this all our lives, and now they are so ingrained that they feel like facts. Affirmations of truth He was so secure in his identity that he was rock solid. He was and is the great ‘I am.' What Jesus said about himself ‘I am the bread of life.'John 6:35 ‘I am the way.' John 14:6 ‘I am the truth.' John 14:6 ‘I am the life.' John 14:6 ‘I am the vine.' John 15:1 ‘I am the good shepherd.' John 10:11 ‘I am the door.'  John 10:9 ‘I am the resurrection and the life.'  John 11:25 Jesus knew himself. His identity was secure, and it rattled the world. Jesus knew his identity and shared it to reassure us about the invite he offers to us. We have a door we can go through, a shepherd to follow, a vine to draw from, a light to shed on our path, a hope, and a future, a daily bread to be nourished from. Jesus didn't need to use affirmations to firm us his identity, but we need to. We doubt and get storm-tossed. Our brain is not perfect. We are in transformation mode. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds. Romans 12:2 I need to keep telling myself my truest God-granted identity. The disputing word ‘Yet.' Some words in our English language act like a pivot, a hinge, a turning point. They offer a change in direction. Words such as ‘and' and ‘but.' I think one other is the word ‘yet.' It is a conjunction. ‘Yet' says ‘I know how this is at the moment, but I will look at things differently, choose a different path.' It's a word that can be used to dispute our current thinking track. To challenge our beliefs and feelings, and thoughts with alternatives. That is the way it was used by a guy called Habakkuk Though the fig tree does not bud     and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails     and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen     and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord,     I will be joyful in God my Savior. Habakkuk 3:17-18 I want to dispute the struggle I am in with the larger story of God's eternal goodness to me. Life can be tough – fig trees not budding, no grapes, olive crops failing, failures in the field, and the sheep pen and cattle stalls empty – yet I am going to still trust. There is a larger story going on. One that I'm not fully aware of but I am part of. When I use the word ‘yet,' it is a choice to take the road less traveled. It's easy to travel down the road of ‘I am stupid' because I have done it all my life. It's familiar, comfortable, well worn, but it will always take me to the same old place. The road less traveled requires a ‘Yet I will' siding against my old familiar thinking tracks. To steer into a new direction. It's going to feel awkward, strange, a ‘waste of time.' There will be a resistance you run into as you push against the gravity of the stinky thinky. From ‘Bitch' to ‘Blessed' I wonder what would have happened in the woman I mentioned earlier if she had taken the ‘Bitch' pendant off and replaced it with a ‘Blessed' pendant. That every time she had feelings and thoughts of being a bitch, she would have disputed the lies. ‘I know that my thoughts and feelings of being a bitch come from an old life, yet I am telling myself the truth that I am blessed.' We have to take responsibility for the thinking paths we travel along. Daily I am affirming Gods firming words about me into my thinking. This flows into my actions. Steering the ship of your thoughts Imagine yourself standing behind the helm or steering wheel of a huge old sailing ship. You control this huge ship, and the captain says to come around to bearing 185 degrees. You look down to the compass and slowly turn the huge wheel in a new direction. Ropes move under the deck, and the rudder alters and changes. There is resistance against the change. Push back. You have to keep hold and steer that wheel in that new direction. Even more so when there is a storm around you. After a little while, the ship moves in this new direction that you have set. Changing your life takes time. That old ship of your life takes time to come around to your new direction. You hold the wheel against the resistance of all your previous thinking courses. It's you taking responsibility for you. It's building a thinking compass that will hold and steer you to a new and better course. Are you like a ship heading for the rocks? Maybe you want to change direction, feel the pull to a new course. With new words and affirmations, your ship will slowly begin to steer in a new direction. Thoughts change when we take charge. Quotes to consider The brain is like Velcro for negative experiences, but Teflon for positive ones. [This] shades “implicit memory” – your underlying expectations, beliefs, action strategies, and mood – in an increasingly negative direction. Rick Hanson Believing all of my emotions is the shortest way into the loop of insanity. First the truth, then faith in the truth, then the feelings will come around.  David Riddell In order to oppose the influence and direction of one's old feelings, a rational mind first needs a very good reason. Without truth to reassure, change isn't possible. David Riddell It's not enough to simply read the truth, it must be allowed to ‘sink in.' If truth doesn't saturate, change remains cosmetic. David Riddell The truth will set you free to enter heaven, but first, it will hurt like hell. First the pain, then the gain. First the death, then the resurrection. David Riddell Don't try to dispel a wrong belief. Rather displace it with a better insight. It's only the truth that can set us free. David Riddell If you only tolerate ideas that agree with your existing beliefs, how will you ever discover new truth or identify your own blind spots? David Riddell To achieve radical change, I need to call some of my feelings ‘liars' and choose to side with the truth against my own emotions until my feelings come around. David Riddell Your mistaken beliefs are your real enemy and will continue to cause you pain until you find and embrace the needed truth. David Riddell In order to oppose the influence and direction of one's old feelings, a rational mind first needs a very good reason. Without truth to reassure, change isn't possible. David Riddell Your concept of yourself can oppose God's ability to help you. He cannot violate it to change you without raping your identity. Eventually, we must go to Him to discover who we are. David Riddell Give yourself the identity you actually aspire to, not the identity you automatically adopted before you were old enough to know better, then ‘fake it 'till you make it. David Riddell Questions to consider Have you got a word that you repeatedly say to yourself that needs to go? What would be a better, more truthful word that you could replace it with?

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs: - 2619 (in 'The Prayer of the Virgin Mary') - That is why the Canticle of Mary, The Magnificat (Latin) or Megalynei (byzantine) is the song both of the Mother of God and of the Church; the song of the Daughter of Zion and of the new People of God; the song of thanksgiving for the fullness of graces poured out in the economy of salvation and the song of the "poor" whose hope is met by the fulfillment of the promises made to our ancestors, "to Abraham and to his posterity for ever." - 2097 (in 'Adoration') - To adore God is to acknowledge, in respect and absolute submission, the "nothingness of the creature" who would not exist but for God. To adore God is to praise and exalt him and to humble oneself, as Mary did in the Magnificat, confessing with gratitude that he has done great things and holy is his name (abbreviated). - 148 (in 'Mary - Blessed is she who believed') - The Virgin Mary most perfectly embodies the obedience of faith. By faith Mary welcomes the tidings and promise brought by the angel Gabriel, believing that "with God nothing will be impossible" and so giving her assent: "Behold I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be [done] to me according to your word." Elizabeth greeted her: "Blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfilment of what was spoken to her from the Lord." It is for this faith that all generations have called Mary blessed. - 971 (in 'Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary') - "All generations will call me blessed": "The Church's devotion to the Blessed Virgin is intrinsic to Christian worship." The Church rightly honors "the Blessed Virgin with special devotion (abbreviated). - 273 (in 'The Mystery of God's apparent powerlessness') - Only faith can embrace the mysterious ways of God's almighty power. This faith glories in its weaknesses in order to draw to itself Christ's power. The Virgin Mary is the supreme model of this faith, for she believed that "nothing will be impossible with God", and was able to magnify the Lord: "For he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name." (abbreviated). - 2599 (in 'Jesus prays') - The Son of God who became Son of the Virgin learned to pray according to his human heart. He learns the formulas of prayer from his mother, who kept in her heart and meditated upon all the "great things" done by the Almighty (abbreviated) - 422 (in 'The Good News: God has sent his son') - But when the time had fully come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.' This is 'the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God': God has visited his people. He has fulfilled the promise he made to Abraham and his descendants.

Back to School w/ Kris Ankarlo * RIP 'Farmer John' Dodger Dogs * Jungle Ride Makeover

Welcome back to Light the Wick. Your reservation at the Continental has been confirmed, and this week we’re speaking with the team from Filmograph – Aaron Becker, Seth Kleinberg and Amador Valenzuela. In this typically spirited conversation, we discuss their contribution to the “John Wick” movies – not only the title sequences but also the subtitles. It’s illuminating and a lot of fun!

This week on Light the Wick (yes it’s still going on, just deal with it!), we talk to “John Wick” visual effects supervisor Rob Nederhorst about what it was like working his invisible magic on the franchise – we learn about squib hits, the difference between violence and gore, and the shot that they had to tone down because it was a little “too much.” Content warning: explicit descriptions of fake muzzle flashes.

We are thrilled this week on Light the Wick to be joined by Luca Mosca, costume designer and actor. Mosca not only comes up with the killer style Keanu Reeves wears, but he also plays the tailor in “John Wick: Chapter 2.” Talk about range! Mosca talks about the evolution of Ian McShane’s character, dressing Laurence Fishburne’s hobo army, and mentions a deleted scene from the third film that had Halle Berry’s character in New York City. This bespoke episode is a good fit for sure.

We’re back with part two of our Light the Wick look at the editorial process on “John Wick 3” with editors Evan Schiff, Gina Hirsch, and Matt Evans. But – surprise! – we sneak some Light the Fuse material in the mix since Schiff and Hirsch worked on “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol.” So you’ll get to hear about the nearly 3-hour cut of “John Wick 3” alongside learning that Gina was the voice of some of the computers in “M:I-4!” This is a double whammy that fans of both franchises will get a huge kick out of.

On this very special episode of Light the Wick, we are joined by “John Wick 3” editor Evan Schiff and additional editors Gina Hirsch and Matt Evans, who jumped in to help. They talk about what it was like working with director Chad Stahelski, how the movie was different before they arrived, and what, exactly, they were tasked to do. It’s a funny, fascinating peek at an integral aspect of the filmmaking process.

Mark Stoeckinger returns this week for a very full episode of Light the Wick! Mark was the supervising sound editor on all three “John Wick” installments and shares some great details on how he got involved in the franchise, how he differentiates gunshots, and (of course) how he got realistic dog sounds (including a scary story about wolves). Also: bits about “Jack Reacher,” “Cruella,” and working with Alexander Payne.

Movie 'John & Yoko - Above Us Only Sky' - Online All-day Movie Workshop with David Hoffmeister"Opening to be Fully Used by Spirit" was the top contender for this Movie Workshop theme, and who can be more representative for this theme than John & Yoko. The documentary "Above Us Only Sky" shows us, John and Yoko, as a Holy Relationship fulfilling their mission in time. We see John exposing, I'm a jealous guy, singing his expression session. We are with Yoko's concept exhibition that is only in the mind, and we hear Yoko say that looking back, seeing the big picture, the reason that she and John came together was to create "Imagine." David uses all these different aspects of John and Yoko's life to talk about the Holy Spirits' desire for us to wake up and how the Holy Spirit works in our lives and relationships.In the second part of the Spreaker, David answers questions from workshop participants.If you are interested to know more about the All Day Movie Workshops, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/acim-online-moviesThe online movie workshop was recorded on February 20, 2021, in Living Miracles Studio in Quantico, Chapala, Mexico.

We’re back with another episode of Light the Wick, your encyclopedic guide to all things “John Wick.” Today we are chatting with Elísabet Ronaldsdóttir, editor of the first film, for an illuminating and surprisingly emotional chat. Find out Keanu Reeves’ involvement in the editorial process, why that scene of Keanu driving angry caused so much controversy, and about teaming up with co-director David Leitch on “Atomic Blonde” and “Deadpool 2.”

And just like that we return to Light the Wick, with our second Kevin Kavanaugh installment. Kavanaugh was the production designer for the latter two “John Wick” films. In this episode he discusses nailing the tone of the “John Wick” universe (tip: big bathtubs), the connection between “Casablanca” and “John Wick,” and getting the ending of the third film just right. Plus he ranks all the “Mission: Impossible” and “John Wick” movies!

We’re back with another episode of Light the Wick, dedicated to the “John Wick” franchise and we’re back with the director behind the trilogy, Chad Stahelski! This time he talks about how he was roped into subsequent films (by Keanu Reeves, of course), the importance of dogs to the franchise (including teasing dog activity in the upcoming fourth film), and how Reeves is basically the coolest dude on earth.

Long promised and finally delivered, we are here with the first part of our Light the Wick miniseries dedicated to all things “John Wick.” We kick things off with one of the franchise masterminds, director Chad Stahelski. In this installment, we talk about how he got involved in the movies, his relationship with Christopher McQuarrie, and how his production process mirrors the “Mission: Impossible” movies. Plus, so much more!

Webcology – January 28, 2021 – An It was the Worst of Times edition.HamletA sad story started spreading through the SEO community last night as word of Hamlet Batista's passing emerged through Facebook and Twitter. A small number of people close to him knew he was sick for several weeks but Hamlet wanted to keep it quiet. He had somehow contracted COVID after doing everything he could to avoid it. He was hit hard but rallied a couple time and thought he'd make it through. Hamlet came to the United States from the Dominican Republic on a US Genius Visa and he used his genius to build a beautiful life. He was a healthy and happy and kind sort of man. He had a wife, Odette, and two sons, Ethan and Josh. His SEO tool company, RankSense, was working towards its first stock offering. Hamlet was literally living the dream, making it happen for himself and others around him from hard work and because he was a truly good person. That goodness was felt in the industry. Hamlet was a well known in the search marketing sector for sharing knowledge in industry journals and as a speaker and lecturer on the search marketing conference circuit. He was one of those people who took others under his wings to help them find their feet as they stepped forward in their careers. Most of his mentees are themselves notable and successful. Hamlet had a way of making people find the best in themselves. The SEO community has gone into mourning a few times in our history and it's always so hard. There is a love among our clique and when someone who so totally personified that spirit passes it is stunning and awful how deep the loss is felt. Goodbye Hamlet. You, my friend, were deeply loved. You changed people's worlds and you will be sorely missed.

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs: - 454 (in 'The Only Son of God') - The title “Son of God” signifies the unique and eternal relationship of Jesus Christ to God his Father: he is the only Son of the Father (cf. Jn1:14,18; 3:16,18); he is God himself (cf. Jn1:1). To be a Christian, one must believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God (cf. Acts 8:37; 1 Jn 2:23). - 2780 (in 'Father') - We can invoke God as “Father” because he is revealed to us by his Son become man and because his Spirit makes him known to us. The personal relation of the Son to the Father is something that man cannot conceive of nor the angelic powers even dimly see: and yet, the Spirit of the Son grants a participation in that very relation to us who believe that Jesus is the Christ and that we are born of God. - 1216 (in 'The Name of the Sacrament of Baptism') - “This bath is called enlightenment, because those who receive this [catechetical] instruction are enlightened in their understanding . . . .” Having received in Baptism the Word, “the true light that enlightens every man,” the person baptized has been “enlightened,” he becomes a “son of light,” indeed, he becomes “light” himself" (abbreviated) - 1996 (in 'Grace') - Our justification comes from the grace of God. Grace is favor, the free and undeserved help that God gives us to respond to his call to become children of God, adoptive sons, partakers of the divine nature and of eternal life. - 423 (in 'The Good News: God has sent his Son') - We believe and confess that Jesus of Nazareth, born a Jew of a daughter of Israel at Bethlehem at the time of King Herod the Great and the emperor Caesar Augustus, a carpenter by trade, who died crucified in Jerusalem under the procurator Pontius Pilate during the reign of the emperor Tiberius, is the eternal Son of God made man. He “came from God,” “descended from heaven,” and “came in the flesh.” For “the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father. . . .

The Lord himself said to his disciples: “Believe in God, believe also in me.” We can believe in Jesus Christ because he is himself God, the Word made flesh: “No one has ever seen God; the only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made him known.” Because he “has seen the Father,” Jesus Christ is the only one who knows him and can reveal him. - 291 (in 'Creation-Work of the Holy Trinity') - 241 (in 'The Father revealed by the Son') - 612 (in 'The agony at Gethsemani') - 717 & 719 (in 'John, precursor, prophet and baptist') - 530 (in 'The Mysteries of Jesus' infancy') - 526 (in 'The Christmas Mystery') - 1692 (in 'Life in Christ') - 496 (in 'Mary's virginity' - 445 (in 'The Only Son of God') - 461 (in 'The Incarnation') Got a Bible question?

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs: - 523 (in 'The Preparations') - St. John the Baptist is the Lord’s immediate precursor or forerunner, sent to prepare his way. “Prophet of the Most High,” John surpasses all the prophets, of whom he is the last. He inaugurates the Gospel, already from his mother’s womb welcomes the coming of Christ (abbreviated). - 1717 (in 'John, precursor, prophet and baptist') - “There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.” John was “filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb” by Christ himself, whom the Virgin Mary had just conceived by the Holy Spirit. Mary’s visitation to Elizabeth thus became a visit from God to his people. - 2676 & 2677 (in 'Communion with the Holy Mother of God') - Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. After the angel’s greeting, we make Elizabeth’s greeting our own. “Filled with the Holy Spirit,” Elizabeth is the first in the long succession of generations who have called Mary “blessed.” “Blessed is she who believed. . . .” Mary is “blessed among women” because she believed in the fulfillment of the Lord’s word. Abraham, because of his faith, became a blessing for all the nations of the earth. Mary, because of her faith, became the mother of believers, through whom all nations of the earth receive him who is God’s own blessing: Jesus, the “fruit of thy womb.” Holy Mary, Mother of God: With Elizabeth we marvel, “And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?” (abbreviated) - 448 (in 'LORD') - At the prompting of the Holy Spirit, “Lord” expresses the recognition of the divine mystery of Jesus (abbreviated). - 495 (in 'Mary's Divine Motherhood') - Called in the Gospels “the mother of Jesus,” Mary is acclaimed by Elizabeth, at the prompting of the Spirit and even before the birth of her son, as “the mother of my Lord.” In fact, the One whom she conceived as man by the Holy Spirit, who truly became her Son according to the flesh, was none other than the Father’s eternal Son, the second person of the Holy Trinity. Hence the Church confesses that Mary is truly “Mother of God” (Theotokos). - 148 (in 'Blessed is she who believed') - Elizabeth greeted her: “Blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.” It is for this faith that all generations have called Mary blessed (abbreviated).

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs: - 332 (in 'Christ with all his angels') - Angels have been present since creation and throughout the history of salvation, announcing this salvation from afar or near and serving the accomplishment of the divine plan: they closed the earthly paradise; protected Lot; saved Hagar and her child; stayed Abraham’s hand; communicated the law by their ministry; led the People of God; announced births and callings; and assisted the prophets, just to cite a few examples. Finally, the angel Gabriel announced the birth of the Precursor and that of Jesus himself. - 717-718 (in 'John, precursor, prophet and baptist') - “There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.” John was “filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb” by Christ himself, whom the Virgin Mary had just conceived by the Holy Spirit (abbreviated). John is “Elijah [who] must come.” The fire of the Spirit dwells in him and makes him the forerunner of the coming Lord. In John, the precursor, the Holy Spirit completes the work of “[making] ready a people prepared for the Lord.” - 523 (in 'Preparations') - Going before Jesus “in the spirit and power of Elijah,” John bears witness to Christ in his preaching, by his Baptism of conversion, and through his martyrdom (abbreviated) - 696 (in 'Symbols of the Holy Spirit') - This event was a “figure” of the fire of the Holy Spirit, who transforms what he touches. John the Baptist, who goes “before [the Lord] in the spirit and power of Elijah,” proclaims Christ as the one who “will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire" (abbreviated) - 716 (in 'Expectation of the Messiah & his Spirit') - It is this quality of heart, purified and enlightened by the Spirit, which is expressed in the Psalms. In these poor, the Spirit is making ready “a people prepared for the Lord" (abbreviated) - 2684 (in 'the Cloud of Witnesses') - In the communion of saints, many and varied spiritualities have been developed throughout the history of the churches. The personal charism of some witnesses to God’s love for men has been handed on, like “the spirit” of Elijah to Elisha and John the Baptist, so that their followers may have a share in this spirit (abbreviated). - 1070 (in 'What does the word liturgy mean?') - In the New Testament the word “liturgy” refers not only to the celebration of divine worship but also to the proclamation of the Gospel and to active charity (abbreviated).

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs: - 575 (in 'Jesus and Israel') - Many of Jesus’ deeds and words constituted a “sign of contradiction,” but more so for the religious authorities in Jerusalem, whom the Gospel according to John often calls simply “the Jews," than for the ordinary People of God (abbreviated). - 717 (in 'John, precursor, prophet and baptist') - "There was a man sent from God, whose name was John." John was "filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother's womb" by Christ himself, whom the Virgin Mary had just conceived by the Holy Spirit. Mary's visitation to Elizabeth thus became a visit from God to his people.. - 719 (in 'John, precursor, prophet and baptist') - John the Baptist is “more than a prophet.” In him, the Holy Spirit concludes his speaking through the prophets. John completes the cycle of prophets begun by Elijah. He proclaims the imminence of the consolation of Israel; he is the “voice” of the Consoler who is coming. As the Spirit of truth will also do, John “came to bear witness to the light.” In John’s sight, the Spirit thus brings to completion the careful search of the prophets and fulfills the longing of the angels. “He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.

[REBROADCAST FROM JULY 2, 2020] Director Dawn Porter discusses her documentary, "John Lewis: Good Trouble." 

 11-29-20 - 'John the Baptist's Birth Foretold'. Rev. Matt Robbins. First message in the Advent series, 'Songs at the Birth'.

The guys talk about John Wick and the new netflix horror film 'His HOUSE'

In this episode we talk about cheating and also more 'John' stories. Listen to find out more...

The Fab 4 Free 4 All crew speaks with a long-time friend of the show, Kenneth Womack, author of 'John Lennon 1980: The Last Days in the Life'.

  Here's the rest of my track by track breakdown with John Higgins of the 'Elton John' album. The album lit a fuse. Four and a half months later, Elton exploded at the Troubadour. John and I got to talk about some of the strides and the mis-steps that were taken along the way. John is Feature Writer at www.eltonjohn.com as well as Elton's Legacy Consultant. Elton fans can thank him for the exceptional 50th anniversary articles he's been writing, and show him love and eternal recognition for finding a way, alongside Daryl Easlea from Universal, and others, to make the upcoming box set 'Elton: Jewel Box' a reality. Also starring in this episode is the delightful Skaila Kanga. We talked about her harp work on the 'Elton John' album, her musical history, and her time in the classroom with Elton. Skaila has worked with essentially everyone over a hugely successful career, and she was still extremely busy when we spoke, back in March  Skaila's been keeping busy during the enforced hiatus from live and studio work: she's been posting some lovely seasonal videos of her harp playing over at her YouTube channel.   

Director Dawn Porter discusses her new documentary, "John Lewis: Good Trouble." The film will be in theaters and in VOD on July 3.
