Dr. Daniel Ragusa speaks at the Reformed Forum Annual Theology Conference, held at Lakeland Church in Gurnee, Illinois on September 27, 2025. Dr. Ragusa, focuses on the dark period of Israel's exile and how it illuminates the deep human longing to return to God's presence, which had been lost due to their rebellion. Dr. Ragusa first establishes the devastating nature of exile by contrasting it with the desired state of dwelling in God's house, a theme illustrated by the pilgrimage described in Psalm 23. He references the Heidelberg Catechism to frame the Christian experience as moving from the "valley of exile" (sin and misery) up to the "mountain of God" (righteousness and everlasting life) through the work of the "mountain ascending mediator," Jesus Christ. Crucially, even in the midst of the exile's darkness, God's hope continues to shine through the prophets, promising restoration, which is ultimately fulfilled in the gospel and glory of Jesus Christ.

This week, another special road trip episode featuring world renowned dobro and guitar Jedi duo Rob Ickes & Trey Hensley recorded live at the 2024 Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas. The annual Walnut Valley Festival, now in it's 53rd season, is one of the oldest and most respected acoustic music festivals in the world. Held at the Winfield, Kansas fairgrounds, more than 30 musical acts will perform on four separate stages, presenting over 200 hours of live music. Also, there is a dedicated contest stage where contestants vie for national and international championships in Finger Style Guitar, Flat Pick Guitar, Bluegrass Banjo, Old Time Fiddle, Mandolin, Mountain Dulcimer, Hammered Dulcimer, and Autoharp. There is a juried arts and crafts fair, exhibits by renowned instrument makers and music shops, family activities, a bevy of food vendors, a farmer's market and even a pub! An unusual aspect of Walnut Valley is its campground tradition. Campsites are not reserved and campers line up to claim a choice campsite during the "Land Rush.” Walnut Valley Festival goers often bring their own musical instruments to participate in the sometimes all night campground jam sessions. Bands like Old Sound and Sally & The Hurts that began as "Jam Bands" in the campgrounds, have even been invited to perform at the festival. Take a 15-time IBMA (International Bluegrass Music Association) Dobro Player of the Year and a Tennessee-born guitar prodigy who made his Grand Ole Opry debut at the age of 11 and you have Rob Ickes and Trey Hensley, a powerhouse acoustic duo that has electrified the acoustic music scene. Known for their white-hot picking, stone country vocals with soul and world class live musicianship, Ickes and Hensley meld together blues, bluegrass, country, rock and other string band music of all kinds to form a signature blend of music that defies restrictions of genre. They are equally at home on stages of prestigious performing arts centers, theatres and the Grand Ole Opry as they are on Americana, jamgrass, bluegrass and jam band festivals. Ickes co-founded the highly influential bluegrass group Blue Highway and has been a sought-after Nashville session player and live performing musician for decades. Hensley has been called “Nashville's hottest young player” by Acoustic Guitar magazine and his soulful baritone vocals have received acclaim as well. - https://www.robandtrey.com/about-the-band/ In this week's “From the Vault” segment, OHR producer Jeff Glover offers a 2016 archival recording of Ozark originals Bobby Glendy & Ruthie Haney performing the classic A.P. Carter song “You are my Flower,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. In his segment “Back in the Hills,” writer, professor and historian Dr. Brooks Blevins presents the final episode of his series recounting the history of the ill-fated Ozarkland Jamboree, a 1960's country music variety show based in Horseshoe Bend, Arkansas that never made it on the air.

Watch this episode in Full Video: https://youtu.be/gyrHG74hIHA High in a cold Norwegian valley, a strange light burns without source or mercy. It hovers. It pulses. It darts across the night sky, as if guided by something that remembers what it once was. For decades, the people of Hessdalen have watched these orbs—yellow, white, sometimes blood red—drift over their quiet town like uninvited saints or patient hunters. Scientists came with instruments. Soldiers came with silence. The faithful came with stories. And still, the lights came back. They do not speak. They do not land. They only glow—and vanish—leaving behind a question that hums through the rock and bone of anyone who sees them: What if the sky itself is alive? In this episode, we descend into the valley's strange heartbeat—examining the data, the folklore, and the unnerving possibility that the Hessdalen phenomenon isn't merely weather, or plasma, or alien craft… but a reflection of us, flickering back through the dark. So light a candle. Dim the room. And listen as the Sofa King crew chases the ghost that Norway can't explain. – Project Hessdalen official site: hessdalen.org hessdalen.org– “A Long-Term Scientific Survey of the Hessdalen Phenomenon” – Teodorani, 2004. hessdalen.org+1 #Hessdalen #MysteriousLights #UFO #AtmosphericPhenomena #NorwayMystery #Unexplained #ScienceVsMystery

Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered by a water boy who serendipitously stumbled on a buried staircase in Egypt's Valley of the Kings on 4th November, 1922. It marked the greatest triumph in archaeologist Howard Carter's career, and unearthed dozens of priceless treasures. The loot included the famous golden death-mask - but also the Pharaoh's walking sticks, linen underwear, and uneaten chickpeas. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how the discovery kickstarted a Western interest in Egpytology that influenced fashion, design and art, and lead directly to Indiana Jones; ask whether Carter was a historian or a grave-robber; and dig into the so-called ‘Mummy's Curse'...

I've always thought of myself as a practitioner. In the startups I was part of, the only “strategy” were my marketing tactics on how to make the VP of Sales the richest person in the company. After I retired, I created Customer Development and co-created the Lean Startup as a simple methodology which codified founders best practices – in a language and process that was easy to understand and implement. All from a practitioner's point of view.

You Are The Power's Ryan Ralston joins Josh and brings along a special guest, Carrie Timms. Carrie and Brady Timms are the parents of a child with a rare medical condition, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), that the state misdiagnosed as child abuse. For three years, Carrie researched her son's condition to uncover the truth—all while the state ignored crucial evidence that would have revealed it. Instead of following the evidence, authorities removed the Timms' son from their care and put the parents on trial for abuse that never occurred. For years, the Timms felt utterly alone, with nowhere to turn as they fought the state. They had proof of their innocence, but no one would listen. Then they found You Are The Power, and everything began to change. The organization stood beside them, providing unwavering support throughout the trial. As the truth finally emerged and the Timms were declared innocent, You Are The Power never left their side. Now, with her family reunited, Carrie joins Josh to share her story. Here is a link to a GoFundMe to help the Timms recover from this terrible ordeal: https://gofund.me/76dc185ec Follow and support You Are The Power: Home - You Are The Power Contact Ryan directly: ryan.ralston@youarethepower.net

Theme: Obedience, Trust, and Consecration — Lessons from Jericho and Ai Pastor Matthew continued his teaching series in the Book of Joshua, focusing on chapters 6 and 7—the fall of Jericho and the sin of Achan. The message contrasts the victory that comes through obedience with the defeat that follows disobedience. The Battle of Jericho — Obedience Brings Victory Text: Joshua 6 God commanded Joshua and the Israelites to march around Jericho once a day for six days and seven times on the seventh day, with seven priests blowing seven rams' horns before the Ark of the Covenant. Though God could have destroyed Jericho instantly, He required faithful obedience—teaching Israel to trust His word above their understanding. The people were instructed to remain completely silent until the final trumpet blast—a picture of disciplined obedience and dependence on God's timing. On the seventh day, after the final trumpet blast, the people shouted, and the walls of Jericho collapsed—a miraculous victory marking the Israelites' first conquest in the Promised Land. Key Lesson: Faith requires obedience even when instructions make no sense. The Israelites' victory came not by strength but by submission to God's word. The Principle of First fruits — The Tithe of Jericho Jericho represented the first fruits of the Promised Land; all spoils from the city were devoted to God as holy and untouchable. Joshua reminded the people that everything belongs to God, and the first portion of increase is His (Proverbs 3:9–10). This first conquest was to be fully dedicated to the Lord, symbolizing that everything that follows is blessed when the first portion is consecrated. God instructed that silver, gold, and bronze be placed in His treasury—no individual was to take from it. Application: The first belongs to God—whether it's time, talent, or treasure. Giving back to Him is not about pressure, but about trust and honor. The Fall at Ai — Disobedience Brings Defeat Text: Joshua 7 A man named Achan from the tribe of Judah secretly took a Babylonian garment, silver, and gold from Jericho, violating God's command. Because of this hidden sin, Israel was defeated at Ai, losing 36 men. Joshua fell before God in despair, questioning why the defeat happened, but God told him plainly: “Get up! Israel has sinned... They have stolen, deceived, and put it among their own stuff.” The nation's defeat was not due to lack of skill but due to sin in the camp. Until the accursed thing was removed, they could not stand before their enemies. Key Principle: Even private disobedience can bring corporate consequence. God's presence and power dwell with purity and obedience. The Judgment of Achan Achan confessed that he coveted and stole the forbidden items. He and his household were brought to the Valley of Achor (“trouble”) and were executed—serving as a solemn reminder that sin contaminates the whole body. The judgment restored Israel's standing before God and removed the curse from the camp. Spiritual Lesson: We must remove the “accursed things”—anything that dishonors God or competes with Him for first place in our lives. The Call to Generosity and Trust Pastor Matthew used the story of Achan to teach about honoring God with our resources: Tithing and giving predate the Law—first modeled by Abraham and Melchizedek (Genesis 14:18–20). Malachi 3:8–10 calls believers to “bring all the tithes into the storehouse” and test God's promise to open the windows of heaven. Luke 11:42 shows Jesus affirmed tithing while calling believers to practice it with justice and love. Hebrews 7:5–9 demonstrates that giving honors God across generations, as Levi was blessed through Abraham's obedience. He emphasized that giving is not about compulsion, but about faith and partnership with God's purpose. “You'll trust Him with your eternal salvation—why not trust Him with your finances?” Illustration: He shared a testimony of a man who began tithing in hardship and later prospered abundantly, learning firsthand that God honors faithfulness. Spiritual and National Lessons The defeat at Ai mirrors spiritual decline in modern times—a warning for America: great power and knowledge cannot replace obedience to God. Pastor urged believers to sanctify themselves and remove what is cursed—anything that keeps them from God's favor. He reminded that sin, disobedience, or misplaced loyalty (even cultural compromise) brings spiritual defeat, but repentance restores God's presence. Closing Application Check with God in everything—even after victory. Success can easily lead to complacency. Consecrate your life—make sure God is first in your time, finances, priorities, and heart. Trust God's Word, not your feelings. Faith grows when obedience is consistent. Remember that obedience brings blessing, while disobedience brings loss and distance from God. Core Takeaway Faith obeys when it doesn't understand. Victory requires consecration. Disobedience endangers everyone. God's power flows through purity, obedience, and trust.
Discover the visionary world of Jean Henri Gaston Giraud—also known as Gir but better known as Moebius, a master of cosmic comics—in this podcast episode. Join us for an interview with his children, Nausicaa and Raphael, as they discuss the enduring legacy of their father, a trailblazer whose surreal artistry reshaped science fiction. We met at the France Pavilion at the Frankfurt Book Fair and recorded at the Galaxy Press booth discussing his legacy as well as their own stories with their father. Moebius co-founded Heavy Metal Magazine and served as a founding judge for Illustrators of the Future, even illustrating Jo Beverly's story in Writers of the Future Vol. 4. His seminal "The Long Tomorrow" ignited Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, with Scott later confessing, "You see it everywhere... you can't get away from it." George Lucas hailed Moebius's "sheer beauty" in designs for Willow, while Hayao Miyazaki, a lifelong friend, credits Arzach's "awesome sense of space" for inspiring Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind—echoed in the name of Giraud's own daughter.

About the Guest: Andrea Hoerr is a committed environmental advocate working with Save the Scenic Santa Ritas and Great Old Broads for Wilderness in Tucson, Arizona. Her work involves fighting against environmentally detrimental projects, such as huge mining operations and the development of border walls in biodiverse regions. Andrea, also known as Dre, uses her expertise as an Arizona Master Naturalist to engage in preserving wilderness areas and fostering grassroots efforts for environmental conservation. Episode Summary: In this episode of "90 Miles from Needles: The Desert Protection Podcast," host Chris Clarke engages with Andrea Hoerr, a fervent activist for desert conservation and biodiversity protection. Hoerr highlights the ecological threats posed by the potential construction of a 27-mile border wall through the San Rafael Valley in Southern Arizona. The episode covers the rich biodiversity of the region, including its status as a biodiversity hotspot and migration corridor for a variety of species. The conversation dives deep into the importance of the San Rafael Valley's grasslands, shedding light on the impending consequences of border wall construction, such as disrupted animal migration, waterway destruction, and habitat fragmentation. Hoerr underscores the collective resistance against these developments and invites listeners to a peaceful rally on November 15 aimed at raising awareness and protecting the valley. By presenting comprehensive anecdotes and first-hand experiences, this episode serves as a powerful call to action for greater environmental advocacy. Key Takeaways: The San Rafael Valley in Southern Arizona is a critical biodiversity hotspot, threatened by a proposed 27-mile border wall. Andrea Hoerr and her fellow activists are organizing a rally on November 15th to raise awareness about the ecological impacts of the border wall. The proposed wall will disrupt animal migration corridors, hamper natural waterways, and result in habitat fragmentation. Biodiversity is vital not only to the environment but also to national security, as recognized by various institutions, including the military. Engaging with and bearing witness to the land helps solidify community commitment to environmental conservation efforts. Notable Quotes: "Biodiversity is important to the health and well-being of not only humans, but all the 10 million species that are interconnected." "We acted as if we can do whatever we want without any concern for the repercussions." "You cannot really grasp the magnitude of what's happening here until you get there, until you bear witness for yourself." "Art, as you know, is such an important way to reach people." "We choose to try not to paint everyone with a broad brush. There’s a lot more hearts and minds that can be won over."

Every day, hundreds of people drive to the very end of the road out of Honokaʻa on the northeast corner of Hawaii island to peer into Waipio valley from the lookout. They see that many signs warn to do the right thing, or “be pono,” and show respect by heeding the “Road Closed, Local Traffic Only” signs and keeping their vehicles out of the valley. So most wonder what happens in Waipio valley. One sign shares that Waipio valley has a thousand-year taro (kalo in Hawaiian) farming tradition. Kalo is used to produce one of the more popular indigenous foods on the islands, poi. Kalo was once a staple of the Hawaiian diet and poi is still quite popular on the islands. You can find fresh poi from Waipio valley in the local grocery stores and even at Costco. But how is poi made and who in Waipio valley is still making it? In this episode we speak with Kahealani from Mokuwai Piko Poi, Inc. whose family has been making and selling Waipio poi since the 1970s.Brought to you by University of Hawaii College of Tropical Ag. and Human Resilience (CTAHR), and the Seeds of Well-being (SOW) Project.
