Morning Worship Sermon with Rev. Bud Hance Scripture reference Matthew 12:38-40 38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered, saying, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.” 39 But He answered and said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Psalm 16:10 PP 10 For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption
Reel Britannia - a very British podcast about very British movies...with just a hint of professionalism. This week, more classic British kitchen sink drama with the tale of Jo, a bold working-class teen who discovers strength in unexpected places. After a brief romance leaves her pregnant, she bonds with Geoff, a kind gay art student. Together, they challenge conventions, showing the power of love, resilience, and humanity in the face of social prejudice. Episode 165 - A Taste of Honey (1961) All episodes at: https://directory.libsyn.com/shows/view/id/reelbritannia A Taste of Honey (1961), directed by Tony Richardson, is a groundbreaking British film that explores themes of poverty, identity, and unconventional relationships. Adapted from Shelagh Delaney's play, it is a cornerstone of the "kitchen sink realism" movement, portraying working-class life with raw honesty. The story follows Jo, a spirited yet vulnerable teenager living in a grimy Salford flat with her neglectful, self-absorbed mother, Helen. Their strained relationship is marked by Helen's pursuit of men and alcohol, leaving Jo to fend for herself emotionally and materially. When Helen marries her wealthy but boorish suitor, Peter, Jo is left alone and begins a tender romance with Jimmy, a black sailor. Their fleeting relationship results in Jo's pregnancy, but Jimmy departs, leaving her to face an uncertain future. Jo finds solace in Geoffrey, a kind-hearted gay man who becomes her roommate and surrogate family. Together, they create a fragile sense of stability, defying societal norms. However, Helen's return disrupts their fragile harmony, forcing Jo to confront her fears and independence. With gritty cinematography and a poignant jazz score, A Taste of Honey captures the struggles and resilience of its characters, offering a compassionate yet unflinching look at marginalized lives in post-war Britain. "Look at that. It's dead. A bit of love, a bit of lust, and there you are. We don't ask for life. We have it thrust upon us."

Passage: 1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? 2 When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall. 3 Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident. 4 One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple. 5 For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will lift me high upon a rock. (Psalm 27:1–5) Song: Psalm 27 (The Lord is My Light) by Jordan Kauflin, Laura Story, Matthew Merker Lyrics: The Lord is my light and my salvation Whom shall I fear whom shall I fear The Lord is the stronghold of my life Of whom shall I be afraid Lord You are my shelter God of my salvation I am not forsaken Lord my shield and protector Waiting on Your promise I will see Your goodness O Lord When troubles arise no foe can harm me You are my peace You are my peace You lift me above the raging storm You conquer my enemies One thing I have asked to see Your beauty This I will seek this I will seek To dwell in Your house to walk in Your ways Your presence is all I need I wait wait for the Lord In faith trusting Your word I wait wait for the Lord In faith trusting Your word Prayer: “Blessed are you, O Lord, the God of our fathers, creator of the changes of day and night, giving rest to the weary, renewing the strength of those who are spent, bestowing upon us occasions of song in the evening. As you have protected us in the day that is past, so be with us in the coming night. Keep us from every sin, every evil, and every fear; for you are our light and salvation, and the strength of our life. To you be glory for endless ages. Amen.” — Adapted from the Liturgy of the Hours

The Man Who Spoke to Plants — And They Actually ListenedWhat would you say about a man who could sit…on a cactus…in front of a live audience...…and not move. Not flinch. Not bleed.Because the cactus had no spines.Not because he found it.But because he made it that way.Meet Luther BurbankA botanist who didn't just grow plants.He talked to them.And in ways science still can't explain…they talked back.Sounds Impossible? Too Mystical?Okay—but let's talk about fries.Not that you'd ever touch fast food, right?Of course not. Never.Definitely not at 11pm in a drive-thru.Wink.But if—hypothetically—you ever had one of those crispy golden fries from a certain global mega-chain… that potato was his.The Russet Burbank.Yes, the most widely consumed, industrially farmed, French-fried starch in America—the very potato that helped launch an empire of deep-fried convenience—came from this man.The man who sat on cacti, whispered to daisies, and believed that plants had personalities.The Man Behind the Big FryHe didn't work in white coats or test tubes.He used pruning shears, a notebook, and something deeper—a felt sense of communication with plants.In the early 1900s, ranchers in the American Southwest had a problem:Cattle were starving during droughts.So they chewed on prickly pear cactus—and ended up bleeding from the mouth.Burbank heard about it.He didn't just study the cactus.He spent years with it.Talking to it. Observing. Loving it.Trying to understand the will of the plant itself.“The secret of improved plant breeding... is love.” — Luther BurbankHe bred hundreds—hundreds—of Opuntia specimens.Until one day, the cactus responded.No spines.Just soft, fleshy pads—safe for cattle.And edible by humans.To prove it?He sat on one. In front of a crowd.And just smiled.Please Share this Article on any Groups you Frequent Online… More Need to Know this Truth. Thank you!What Made Burbank DifferentHe didn't just manipulate plants—he partnered with them.He believed they had memory. Emotion.Even a kind of intelligence.He treated each one as a unique individual.He refused to follow rigid scientific protocols.Instead, he spent hours—days—walking his gardens, whispering encouragement, noting every leaf twitch, every color shift, every scent change.Sometimes he'd wait 10 or 15 years just to see if a single cross would bloom the way he dreamed.“I am not making new things... I am helping nature express herself better.”That wasn't just his philosophy.It was his entire practice.A Saint Among the RosesAnd people noticed.Paramahansa Yogananda, one of the most revered spiritual teachers of the 20th century, met Burbank—and was so struck by his presence that he dedicated Autobiography of a Yogi to him.Not to a swami. Not to a sage.To a gardener.“A saint amidst the roses,” Yogananda called him.Their connection wasn't casual—it was soul-level.On a walk through Burbank's Santa Rosa garden, Yogananda heard the words that captured the essence of the man:“The secret of improved plant breeding, apart from scientific knowledge, is love.”They stopped beside a bed of edible cacti—yes, the famous thornless kind—and Burbank elaborated:“While I was conducting experiments to make ‘spineless' cacti,” he said, “I often talked to the plants to create a vibration of love. ‘You have nothing to fear,' I would tell them. ‘You don't need your defensive thorns. I will protect you.'”And the cactus listened.That's not metaphor.It actually dropped its spines.The plant changed its biology in response to trust.Beyond Biology—Into RelationshipThis is the core of Burbank's genius:Not just biology, but relationship.He didn't dominate nature.He collaborated with it.Listened. Adapted. Guided.Yogananda was so moved by this communion that he asked for some cactus pads to grow in his Mount Washington garden.When a workman stepped in to help, Burbank stopped him.“I myself will pluck them for the swami.”That's who he was.A Walnut Tree, a Twinkle in His EyeHe went on to show Yogananda a walnut tree that took just 16 years to produce an abundant harvest—a process that should've taken twice that time.With a twinkle in his eye, he described the possibilities—for both plants and people—when guided with care and intention.“The most stubborn living thing in this world... is a plant once fixed in certain habits... The human will is a weak thing beside the will of a plant.”But with love and patient attention, even that will could be shifted.“When it comes to so sensitive and pliable a thing as the nature of a child,” he said, “the problem becomes vastly easier.”Burbank saw humanity as one vast garden.And he believed that what worked in the soil...could also work in the soul.More Than Just WooSo yeah—maybe it all sounds a little woo.Talking to plants. Believing they respond to love.But then again…He gave us over 800 new plant species.He shaped modern agriculture.He gave us the potato that fed the world—and powered fast food empires.And still, that wasn't what moved him most.He and Yogananda spent hours dreaming about the future—not just of plants, but of people. They traded thoughts about education, Eastern and Western wisdom, yoga, reincarnation, mysticism.They even brainstormed the name of a magazine together.(They landed on East–West, naturally.)And Burbank wasn't just philosophizing from the sidelines.He took initiation into Kriya Yoga from Yogananda—and practiced it with devotion.“Sometimes I feel very close to the Infinite Power,” he told Yogananda, quietly.The Human SeedWhat stirred him more than a better walnut tree or thornless cactus...was the human seed—the potential in a child.He believed, as Yogananda did, that a new kind of education was needed:One that honored nature.Cultivated inner growth.Treated kids like whole people—not just data buckets.“Schools like yours are the only hope of a future millennium,” he said.That Vision Didn't Die With ThemMy wife Chiara helped start a school for our children and others based on those very ideals.It's called Piccolo Seme (Little Seed — in English)—originally rooted in the teachings of Yogananda, and in the same soil Burbank believed in.When the world was shutting down in 2020, and everything felt uncertain, that school became a lifeline for us—and for many families hungry for something more grounded, more joyful, more… real.And now, years later, I find myself still talking to plants in the garden.Still wondering what they know.Still trying to pass that spark on to my 10-year-old son—who usually just rolls his eyes when I get too mystical about my basil.But maybe someday, he'll get it.Maybe one day he'll feel what Burbank felt.That love isn't just something we feel—It's something we grow.And it grows back.What If...?What if the wildest ideas… aren't actually that wild?What if communion with nature isn't mysticism…but science we just haven't caught up to yet?What if you could learn to listen—really listen—to the life growing silently all around you?Burbank didn't just change plants.He changed the relationship we could have with them.And maybe…that's the part we're still catching up on.Let's talk more soon.Ray “Love Grows when we Plant Seeds” Lee BaconMore chapters of the Electroculture Foundations Guide are coming soon
Send us a textHEDWIGBefore we say auf wiedersehen to Season 14 with its eight revamps of the previously covered during the show's first five years, the boys of TGTPTU reveal their unexpected special little packages: 1x1's, wherein each host shall choose a single film by its merits of discussion and unlikelihood to be exposed on a future 4x4, creator, or thematic season. The first of these darlings is Thomas's: HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH (2001). Adapted from the rock musical of the same name that started as the collaboration between frontman of the NYC-based band Cheater (performing on stage as Hedwig's band) Stephen Trask and then actor later turned actor-director with this debut film John Cameron Mitchell. Hedwig's story, on stage told in song and monologue, of male-to-female surgery so as to marry an American GI and leave East Berlin originated from Mitchell's own experiences as a military brat in Germany and Kansas trailer parks while the jealousy and newer betrayal Hedwig expresses toward her protégé and superstar success/successor Tommy Gnosis (also played by Mitchell in the play but embodied by Early Aughts indie film darling and pod-contentious actor Michael Pitt) is elevated by Trask's music and lyrics and is expanded and enriched with animation, locations, and added characters (most notably Andrea Martin as the band's manager) for the silver screen. Learn more about the progression from stage to screen from Thomas on research; jam out to Rock Facts with Ryan (sorry, mineralogists, but we're talking glam and punk rock here); former host Jack on vibes in the rhythm section wakes up mid-episode to like the film and dig the hand-drawn animation; and Ken lands his rimshot, getting to tell his joke that calls back to TGTPTU's Nolan coverage (Season 12). Spoiler: You'll be hearing from four Hed heads. Reminder: You don't put a bra in a dryer! CONTENT WARNING: At least once during the episode the “f” word (“Ferengi”) is used. For those allergic to Star Trek and nerdom, our sincerest apologies. My you live long and prosper.

Click here to try it out!Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review! This week, we're paging through the murky corridors of mystery, rare books, and Satanic secrets with Roman Polanski's atmospheric thriller The Ninth Gate (1999). Adapted from Arturo Pérez-Reverte's novel The Club Dumas, the film stars Johnny Depp as Dean Corso, a rare book dealer whose latest assignment drags him deep into a web of occult intrigue.Setting the Scene: Leather Bindings and Hidden SymbolsDean Corso is a sleazy but skilled rare book expert hired by the wealthy and enigmatic Boris Balkan (Frank Langella) to authenticate one of the few remaining copies of The Nine Gates of the Kingdom of Shadows, a 17th-century tome said to summon the Devil himself. Balkan believes only one of the copies is genuine, and he tasks Corso with traveling across Europe to examine all three. As Corso delves deeper, people connected to the books start turning up dead, and he finds himself pursued by cultists, a mysterious woman with supernatural abilities (Emmanuelle Seigner), and his own growing paranoia.Part noir detective story, part supernatural thriller, The Ninth Gate moves at a deliberately slow pace, building dread and unease through long shadows, whispered dialogue, and a creeping sense of danger. The mystery surrounding the book's origin and the authenticity of its illustrations becomes Corso's obsession. Each encounter along his journey offers new clues—or misdirections—about the book's true purpose, and whether the devil himself is guiding Corso's path.The film culminates in a quiet but unsettling resolution that subverts expectations. It's less about explosive revelations and more about slow, unnerving transformation, with Corso's character gradually shifting from skeptic to something far more… initiated.At its core, The Ninth Gate explores the timeless Faustian dilemma—how far one will go in pursuit of forbidden knowledge. Corso is less driven by belief than by greed and curiosity, but his journey reveals how seductive and consuming power can be. The book becomes a mirror reflecting the soul of each seeker, with deadly results for those who aren't worthy—or perhaps not wicked enough.Not one for younger viewers, this is a slow-burn adult thriller with a strong sense of place and purpose. The Ninth Gate rewards patience and attention, especially for fans of mysteries, the occult, or anyone who's ever gotten lost in a bookshop and wondered what might be lurking in the rarest of volumes.So light a candle, pour a brandy, and dust off your first edition—because The Ninth Gate invites you into a world where stories hold secrets and books just might bite back.

Click here to try it out!Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review!This episode, we're diving into one of Quentin Tarantino's most underrated films—Jackie Brown (1997). Adapted from Elmore Leonard's novel Rum Punch, this crime thriller showcases Tarantino's signature style but with a more mature and restrained approach compared to Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs.Setting the Scene: A Game of SurvivalPam Grier stars as Jackie Brown, a flight attendant caught smuggling money for arms dealer Ordell Robbie (Samuel L. Jackson). When she's busted by the ATF, she finds herself caught between law enforcement and Ordell, who won't hesitate to eliminate loose ends. With the help of bail bondsman Max Cherry (Robert Forster), Jackie hatches a plan to outmanoeuvre both sides and secure her own future.Why It Stands OutPam Grier's Iconic Performance – A true 70s blaxploitation star, Grier delivers a powerhouse performance that cements Jackie Brown as one of Tarantino's best-written characters.Samuel L. Jackson as Ordell Robbie – Charismatic, chilling, and endlessly quotable, Jackson's villain is both funny and terrifying.Robert Forster's Career Revival – As the world-weary Max Cherry, Forster brings a grounded, heartfelt presence that earned him an Oscar nomination.A Different Tarantino – While still packed with sharp dialogue and memorable characters, Jackie Brown leans more into slow-burn tension and character depth rather than hyper-stylized violence.Elmore Leonard's Influence – The film stays true to the novel's sharp plotting and richly drawn characters, making for a crime thriller with real emotional weight.Themes: Trust, Betrayal, and Second ChancesUnlike Tarantino's usual revenge-driven stories, Jackie Brown is about survival and reinvention. Jackie isn't looking for payback—she's trying to carve out a better life for herself in a world stacked against her. The film explores aging, regret, and loyalty, particularly in Jackie's dynamic with Max Cherry, whose quiet admiration adds an unexpected layer of romance.A Dad's TakeJackie Brown is a must-watch for fans of Tarantino, crime thrillers, and smartly written characters. While it may not have the explosive action of his other films, it offers something even better—a masterfully crafted, character-driven story with a killer soundtrack and one of the coolest leading ladies in cinema.So, grab a beer, settle in, and join us as we unpack one of Tarantino's finest films on Bad Dads Film Review!

Adapted from Melissa Moore's true-crime podcast and her memoir Shattered Silence, Happy Face explores the story of a serial killer's daughter grappling with her father's crimes. While the original podcast delivered firsthand accounts, this dramatized series takes liberties, introducing new storylines and plot twists not present in Moore's real experience. Tune in as we discuss whether these elements serve the narrative or undercut the authenticity that made Moore's podcast and book so compelling. Welcome to Today's Episode!

"It is not for Demophilus to set these things straight. For if the Word of God commands us to pursue just things justly... this must be pursued by all justly, not beyond their own fitness." This letter—historically attributed to St. Dionysius the Areopagite, a 1st-century convert of Saint Paul from Acts, but now considered the work of an anonymous 5th-century author known as 'Pseudo-Dionysius'—delivers a stern yet compassionate rebuke to a monk named Demophilus. Dionysius challenges the monk's rash condemnation of a priest for absolving a repentant sinner, and urges mercy, humility and respect for the Church's hierarchy. Adapted from an 1897 translation, this version retains the work's rhetorical and theological depth while rendering the language more accessible to contemporary listeners.

For director Rory Karpf, a core philosophy is that things are going to change- a lesson learned from years of documentary filmmaking. This flexibility proved invaluable when crafting his indie feature, Grace Point. Adapted from a larger, more ambitious script, Grace Point tells the story of a young man on his way to a remote drug rehab. His journey takes a dark and unexpected turn when he finds himself in a strange town being chased by the locals and his own personal demons. The genesis of Grace Point began with a documentary shoot in a very specific location. Rory and cinematographer Al Francesco were working on recreations in Laurinburg, North Carolina. Al suggested that Rory reimagine the script as a smaller, more intimate indie film, using the town's natural settings. They were able to find every location they needed in Laurinburg and the surrounding area. The rapid 19 day production schedule with 10-hour workdays required working around outdoor shoots and unpredictable Southern weather. With many locations donated, Rory and Al knew they couldn't waste time with reshoots or lose any days to the weather. They dedicated two weeks to detailed location and technical scouting, meticulously planning shots and coverage. Al found the time to be flexible and see compositions when they naturally occurred, like taking advantage of a beautiful foggy morning during the shoot. Rory and Al's background in documentary filmmaking proved to be a significant asset. "One thing I learned with documentaries are things are gonna change," Rory states. "With narrative scripted filmmaking, it could be the actor isn't getting the scene right for whatever reason. We're gonna try something a little bit different, and be open to that working." Al's documentary instincts led him to adopt a "keep the camera rolling" approach, even after "cut" was called, capturing authentic reactions. He also streamlined the process by lighting entire scenes and shooting multiple angles without resetting, and even capturing close-ups and inserts during rehearsals. The collaboration between Rory and Al began at NFL Films, where they honed their skills on sports documentaries featuring prominent figures like Peyton Manning (The Book of Manning) and Snoop Dogg (Coach Snoop). These “follow docs” often involved recreations, which served as mini-movies, providing valuable experience for their transition to narrative filmmaking. Their established network of crew members, producers, and access to affordable gear proved crucial. "It's not a negative for us to have a small crew and make the most of it- that's normally what we do," Al notes. For Rory, the most vital aspect of filmmaking is fostering a positive and enjoyable atmosphere. "Working with Al, he makes the stuff look great, but he also understands how it incorporates in the story," he says. This blend of technical expertise and storytelling acumen is what brought Grace Point to life, proving that even with limited resources, passion and ingenuity can create compelling cinema. You can purchase Grace Point on Apple TV and Amazon Prime.

A Man of Means is a collection of six short stories written in collaboration by P. G. Wodehouse and C. H. Bovill. The stories all star Roland Bleke, a nondescript young man to whom financial success comes through a series of "lucky" chances, the first from a win in a sweepstake he had forgotten entering. Roland, like many a timid young man seeks love and marriage. In this pursuit his wealth is regularly a mixed blessing. The plot of each story follows its predecessor, sometimes directly, and occasionally refer back to past events in Bleke's meteoric career. The writing style is crisp and droll, and shows much of the skill and polish of the later Wodehouse. The disasters that befall the hapless Bleke are entertainingly recounted and his unforeseen rescues surprise and delight. In the character of the butler, Mr Teal, we meet an early draft of the ingenious Jeeves. The stories first appeared in the United Kingdom in The Strand in 1914, and in the United States in Pictorial Review in 1916. They were later published in book form in the UK by Porpoise Books in 1991; the collection was released on Project Gutenberg in 2003. (Adapted from Wikipedia.)

In this epistolary novel, we find a young woman named Evelina, who was raised in rural seclusion until her eighteenth year because of her uncertain parentage. Through a series of harrowing and humorous events that take place in London and an English resort town, Evelina learns how to navigate the complex layers of 18th century society and earn the love of a distinguished and honorable nobleman. This comedy of manners often satirizes the society in which it is set; Evelina is a significant precursor to later works by Jane Austen and Maria Edgeworth, whose novels explore many of the same issues.

We're getting really bloody this week as we take a trip to feudal Japan for the 1972 samurai movie that set the pace for violent sword fighting movies to follow. This is not your father's samurai movie. This is not Akira Kurosawa. This is Kenji Misumi's epic starring Tomisaburo Wakyama and his wonderful, weapon-laden baby cart.Adapted from the extremely popular manga by Kazuo Koike, Lone Wolf and Cub tells the story of wandering assassin, Ogami Itto and his son, Daigoro as they walk the demon way in hell. The evil daimyo, Yagyu Retsudo wants them dead but it's going to take an army if they intend to get the job done.Utterly ridiculous and bloody, Sword of Vengeance sets the tone for the five movies that follow and is a tremendously enjoyable movie.
