Have you ever read something that Jesus said, and wondered why he would say such a thing?  For example: after watching Jesus perform a bunch of miracles, his followers inform him that they have finally come to the realization that he is the promised Messiah.  And how does Jesus respond? “Then Jesus ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.”  (Matthew 16:20)   What?!   Why would he say that?  There's a reason for Jesus' response.  There's a very good reason for it.  And, in Act Four of this series, we are going to discover that reason.  It will all make sense when we understand the context, the back story, the BIG PICTURE of Jesus' words.

Let's start with the good news —Tristan is back to chat with us about the next act of Diablo IV. The undercurrent of this episode is the volatility of a game that is so reliant on updates and patches that can wildly alter the gameplay experience. We happened to play this act during the reviled 1.1 patch, which made boss fights and combat feel like - as Cam says during the episode - swimming through peanut butter. Our discussion covers the subsequent patch that fixed things (and actually made the game better than ever), the truly lousy experience we had playing Act Four during the bad times, and the core instability at the heart of Diablo IV. Other topics include: narrative balance and world building, fractal damage modifiers, the tension between world tiers & fun factor, and the tremendous power of legendary drop rates.

William Shakespeare, King Lear, Act Four, Scene Five.  Lear has lost his kingdom, his family, his security and his sanity.  When he encounters his old friend the Earl of Gloucester, who has been savagely blinded, we witness one of the strangest and yet richest conversations in all of literature.  Choked with both rage and guilt, Lear intercuts fantasies of revenge with flashes of moral clarity, and fumbles toward a profound articulation of what it means to suffer.We love hearing from all of you.

December 11, 2022 -Act Five – Church: The Proclaimed Kingdom “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” ~Acts 1:8 Jesus is the one who fulfills all of God's promises made in Act Three of the Story of God. Now, following his resurrection from the grave in Act Four, he ascends to the right hand of the Father in heaven and tells his followers the role they will play in moving the Story to the end. And he assures them he will provide the power they need to get it done. We're in Act Five. We know everything that comes before and we know all about Act Six, which is coming later. But we're called now to play our part in this unfinished fifth act. How do we learn our lines? How do we play the role? For more information on GCR, visit our website at www.gcrchurch.com or download our app.

December 4, 2022 - Act Four – Jesus: The Present Kingdom “The Kingdom of God has come to you!” ~Luke 11:20 In Act Four of the Story, God comes to the humans in the flesh-and-blood of Jesus to live with them and to fulfill the promises he made in Act Three. God in Christ begins to reverse the curse of Act Two and takes on humanity's sin and shame in order to reconcile the relationship back to the way it was in the beginning. Jesus preached one sermon and made one stunning announcement over and over: “The time is fulfilled; the Kingdom of God is at hand! Repent and believe the Good News!” What all the ages had longed to experience is now present, it's here, in Jesus. “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” ~John 1:14For more information on GCR, visit our website at www.gcrchurch.com or download our app.

He's certainly very clear in his intentions, but does his most contemplative record yet go the distance?ACT FOUR (56:04): As the World Cup drama heats up, the boys try and remain composed just long enough to deliver their Top 5 Standalone Singles.

Did somebody say 'stacked episode', did they?! Well, if you did, congratulations – welcome to an absolutely stacked episode.NO ENCORE is back with Dave Hanratty, Craig Fitzpatrick and eventual special guest Neil Dexter, here to unpack his excellent debut album I'll Be Ready and get involved in a vintage Top 5 scrum.

It's time to pop the hood and give The Car a thorough inspection.ACT THREE (42:49): Having magically materialised in-studio midway through the album review, the charming Neil Dexter takes us through debut album I'll Be Ready.ACT FOUR (1:00:08): Neil sticks around to face off against Dave and Craig's combined Top 5 – well, mostly Craig's as it turns out – as the boys consider the Top 5 Songs Intended For Other Artists.
