The Alaskan Hotel has stood in Juneau since 1913, and the guests who ask for Room 315 by name do not always stay the night.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/AlaskanHotelREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/4r83875sFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: The Alaskan Triangle is already known for strange and bizarre activity – so it should be no surprise that a hotel located in the triangle might experience a few bumps in the night.

(The Hooker Who Stopped a Serial Killer) *** Chucky the doll isn't real. Neither were any of the dolls that came to life on shows like “The Twilight Zone” and “Outer Limits” – but that doesn't mean real haunted dolls don't exist, and it's not just “Annabelle” and “Robert” on the list. (When Haunted Dolls Attack) *** Ilse Koch was a female concentration camp guard and she was so ruthless and evil even the Na*is had her arrested. (Ilse Koch: The Witch of Buchenwald) *** They reside atop dizzying heights and are often unnoticed by human eyes but ever watchful of our movements. They have 'observed' us for centuries. We'll look at the history and purpose of gargoyles and grotesques. (In The Protection of Gargoyles) *** Outside of Washington, D.C. lies an abandoned institution with a thoroughly disturbing past. We'll look at the history and horrors of Forest Haven Mental Asylum.

A city sits in ruins, personified as a widow with no one to comfort her. Lamentations 1 gives words to a grief so deep it feels beyond speech. Jerusalem's suffering was real and brutal, but not undeserved; she had ignored God's warnings and trusted false gods for centuries. This is the cry of a guilty sufferer owning her sin while still begging God to look. Lament and confession belong together. Centuries later Jesus wept over the same city, then took its judgement on Himself. He was stripped bare and destroyed so God's people could be made a beautiful bride. Bible Reference: Lamentations 1 Preacher: Ben Fien

What is lacking in Christ's afflictions? What does Colossians 1:24 mean when Paul says he fills up in his flesh what is lacking in Christ's afflictions?

The Last message in the "Appetites, Addictions, and Afflictions" series.

In this lesson from the Gate of Repentance (Shaar HaTeshuvah), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe discusses one of the Torah's most fundamental principles: nothing happens by accident. Every joy, every challenge, every success, and every hardship is orchestrated by Hashem with purpose. When difficulties arise, the Torah teaches us not to dismiss them as coincidence or bad luck, but to view them as a Divine invitation to pause, reflect, and strengthen our relationship with Hashem. Afflictions are not expressions of rejection—they are expressions of Hashem's love, guiding us back onto the proper path when we begin to drift. Rabbi Wolbe explains that every challenge carries two profound gifts. First, suffering serves as an atonement, cleansing a person of spiritual shortcomings in this world rather than the next. Second, it functions as a wake-up call, encouraging us to examine our actions and make meaningful changes. Just as a loving parent gives medicine to heal a sick child despite its unpleasant taste, Hashem sometimes allows discomfort into our lives because He desires our ultimate spiritual well-being. The worst response, however, is to dismiss life's hardships as random occurrences, for doing so misses the opportunity for growth that Hashem lovingly provides. The episode concludes with a message of hope and perspective. Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes that a life of faith is built upon recognizing the connection between our actions and Hashem's providence while avoiding unhealthy obsession or self-condemnation. Every setback should inspire introspection, but not despair. Sometimes suffering is corrective, and sometimes it is an expression of Hashem's special love, preparing a person for even greater reward in the World to Come. The key is to trust that Hashem's guidance is always purposeful and ultimately beneficial. By embracing life's challenges with faith, humility, and self-reflection, we transform moments of pain into opportunities for growth and deeper closeness with Hashem._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on November 24, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on July 10, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

From the Appetiites, Addictions, and Afflictions series, this message comes from Matthew 5:6

In this Refresh & Restore Bible Study, we look at suffering, weakness, and hope through the lens of Scripture. Life is full of limitations, burdens, and afflictions, but for those who belong to Jesus, suffering is not the end of the story.Hebrews 12:1–2 reminds us that there is a race set before us and that we run by laying aside every weight and looking to Jesus. Philippians 4:10–13 shows us that Christ strengthens us in abundance and need, not by making us self-sufficient but by teaching us to depend on Him. And 2 Corinthians 4:7–18 reminds us that we are jars of clay, weak and breakable, so that the surpassing power would be seen as belonging to God and not to us.Our afflictions may feel heavy now, but in Christ they are light and momentary compared to the eternal weight of glory He has prepared for His people. Jesus is the joy set before us, the strength within us, and the One who keeps us from shattering.If you would like to see a written version of this podcast, complete with Scripture references, you can find it here.

Christians must understand afflictions in light of their relationship with their Heavenly Father.

Jerry, Scott, and John cover the first verses of chapter three. They focus on God's good purposes for the suffering in our lives.

“Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33 St. Isaac places hope after the first labor of virtue for a reason. A man must first discover that his virtues cannot save him. He fasts. He keeps vigil. He disciplines the body. He restrains the passions. He learns obedience to the commandments. Yet even after these labors something remains uncertain within him. The heart still trembles before the future. The mind still calculates. The soul still tries to secure itself. Virtue alone does not destroy fear. Because fear is rooted in the illusion that life depends upon us. So Isaac begins to speak about hope. Not optimism. Not religious comfort. Not the quiet belief that God will make things easier. Divine hope is something far more terrible. Divine hope appears when a man finally believes the words of Christ. “Make no provision for the flesh.” The man who hopes in God no longer arranges his life around survival. He arranges it around God. This is why Isaac describes the man who ceases to give thought to worldly provision. Such a man has not become careless. He has become free. He has discovered something the world does not understand. God is not an idea that accompanies life. God is life. The world trains us to think first about preservation. Food. Clothing. Shelter. Security. Reputation. Position. The future. Even religious men often organize their spiritual life around these concerns. They seek God but only after they have secured themselves. Christ reverses this order. Seek first the Kingdom. Not second. Not after your plans are settled. Not after the future is secured. First. When this commandment is believed, everything changes. Afflictions no longer appear as threats. Loss no longer appears as catastrophe. Uncertainty no longer produces panic. The man who hopes in God has already placed his life in God's hands. Nothing remains to defend. This is why the saints could live with such strange freedom. They possessed little. They planned little. They secured little. Yet they lacked nothing. The world itself began to serve them. Not because they controlled the world but because they had already abandoned it. Divine hope therefore exposes the false hope that governs most lives. False hope says God will protect the life I am building. True hope says God Himself is my life. False hope clings to stability. True hope walks where Christ walks. Into uncertainty. Into poverty. Into the wilderness. Into the Cross. And yet the man who walks there does not despair. Because he has discovered something greater than safety. He has discovered the faithfulness of God. This is why Isaac places hope after the discipline of virtue. Virtue trains the body. Hope gives the heart to God. Without hope the ascetic life becomes anxiety dressed in religious clothing. With hope the man becomes light. He lives before God without calculation. He labors. He prays. He stands watch over the heart. And he entrusts everything else to the mercy of God. Such a man has begun to believe the Gospel. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:38:12 Janine: Happy are you poor 00:40:55 Jessica McHale: I feel as though the money, savings, job, housing I have is all a gift from God. My life has been a little complicated and I see these material things as passing--I don't have hope in them at all--but I feel blessed at what's He's given me. My job allows me to say the Hours and attend Divine Liturgy or Mass daily. If I lose all material things, it's no loss. God will provide. Living simply, even though I have security in "savings etc" makes me really see how unimportant material things are. I don't need most things the average person needs. I have a long way to holiness though, :). But this helps me to try to focus on God throughout the day and become more "ascetic" in the modern world.

There's a painful truth most people never admit: the men who look confident, successful, and put together are often the ones collapsing internally.They're hiding, performing, people pleasing, and losing themselves one tiny lie at a time.In this episode, I'm explaining a major shift:my podcast is no longer called Sex Afflictions and Porn Addictions.It's now called Patterns of Power.And I didn't change the name because it sounded better.I changed it because over 14 years of doing this work, I realized something I couldn't ignore anymore:If the framework keeps men stuck in shame, fear, and identity collapse…it might get their attention, but it won't build the life they want.In this episode, I break down:Why “addiction language” helps some men early on… but can hold others back long-termHow the real issue is often patterns, not pornWhy sex isn't the root problem… it's the relief valveThe shift from running away from a problem → to building a system that makes you unstoppableHow power, integrity, self-leadership, and capacity are the real transformationBecause shame keeps people quiet.Power builds movements.If you're a leader, founder, executive, or high performer who knows something is “off” internally…this podcast is for you.Ready to interrupt the patterns and step into your power?Visit: mindfulhabitmastery.comIf you're struggling with sex and porn addiction and need direct support:Visit: mindfulhabithelp.com
