Together, they explore the hidden emotional impact of moving, from loss of familiarity and identity to questions of control, grief, and expectation. Emily and Julia share compassionate, practical reflections on adjusting to new places, allowing space for resentment and sadness, lowering the pressure to “love it,” and gently seeking out small moments of comfort and connection. A thoughtful, reassuring conversation for anyone struggling with change, homesickness, or the slow journey toward acceptance.

The Agony of Separation: The Price He Paid MESSAGE SUMMARY: In today's message, we're reminded of the profound truth that Jesus is the answer to the deepest struggles of humanity. We're called to open our eyes to the suffering around us - broken relationships, addictions, financial burdens, and physical ailments. This reflection challenges us to see beyond our own circumstances and recognize the pain in others. The central theme echoes Christ's compassion and His desire for a relationship with each of us. As His body, the church, we're entrusted with the responsibility to extend His love to those in need. This message invites us to consider: How can we be the hands and feet of Jesus in a world crying out for hope and healing?   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I now take a deep breath and stop. So often I miss your hand and gifts in my life because I am preoccupied and anxious. Grant me the power to pause each day and each week to simply rest in your arms of love. In Jesus' name, amen.    Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 132). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because of I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Insensitivity. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Gentleness. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

It's episode 222 of the AEW-Some Pod, and your favorite trio of a comedian and two horror hosts, Johnny Taylor, Diana Prince, and Gringo Fantastico, is here to break down the action inside of the Mission Ballroom in the "mile high city" of Denver, Colorado! Moxley goes face to face with Hologram's better side, El Clon. Swerve Strictland lets us all know his frustrations with AEW and one fan's "momma!" Gabe Kidd continues to take up air time. Kevin Knight and Mansoor have a high flying match up, while Brody King and Mark Davis have a clubbing session. The AEW Women's tag team title ends with concern, while unsurprisingly, MJF attempts to swerve the upcoming World Heavyweight championship match with a fake coin to manipulate before Hangman can stipulate. (Rhyming is fun!) The main event could have been a show all of it's own as the Rascalz, the Bucks, and Jack Perry went above and beyond as they took on the The Demand's Ricochet and the Gates of Agony along with FTR in Mile High Madness where anything goes and it most certainly does!

Pre-season testing has delivered serious drama.In today's episode we break down the hype around Scuderia Ferrari and the unusual rear-wing design getting everyone talking, while things look far less convincing for Aston Martin.There's also a lively debate over the ruling that Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team would have until August to fix their engine if it's deemed illegal — a decision that splits the room and gets surprisingly heated.Elsewhere, we discuss the challenges teams are facing with sustainable fuels, why newcomers Audi have impressed, the safe but steady start from Cadillac, and why Alpine F1 Team could be shaping up as the best of the midfield.Check out Slicks Magazine at slicksmag.com and use code ETS10 at checkout for 10% off your order

In this Agony Aunties episode, Julia, Emily and Sophie respond to a listener's thoughtful question about how to gently introduce the idea that movement can “move the mind” to the people who may resist it most: teenagers and elderly family members. They explore why forcing exercise can backfire (especially with teens), and instead recommend modelling movement, keeping encouragement low-key, and making activity feel incidental and social rather than a “lesson.” For older relatives, they discuss practical, confidence-building entry points like finding the right trainer, starting small with habit-stacking (tiny movements built into everyday routines), and using approachable online classes to reduce the barrier to entry. The takeaway is compassionate and relationship-led: focus on connection, meet people where they are, and when needed, share your concerns as care rather than control.

Lent is the period in the Church's calendar to where the faithful are encouraged to rekindle their relationship with Jesus through practices such as prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Come Easter, we can rise with Christ a new creation. This blogcast explores “Lenten Transfiguration" from the Ad Infinitum blog, written by Kate Fowler and read by Jonathan Harrison.“Peter and his companions had been overcome by sleep, but becoming fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him.” -Luke 9:32Twice in the Gospels we hear of the trio of disciples sleeping at pivotal moments in Christ's life and ministry: at the Transfiguration – in this Sunday's Gospel – and in the Garden of Gethsemane during Christ's Agony. Both times, Christ is in deep prayer. And both times, Peter, James, and John are “overcome by sleep.”I get it. The group of men have just hiked up a mountain. It would have been normal to rest after such a grueling endeavor. Similarly, in the Garden, Jesus took the three disciples to pray after the Feast of the Passover—a long, filling meal complete with wine. I think of all the times I've napped after a holiday meal and sympathize with Peter, James, and John.  In these scenes, they are so human. They become tired and rest their eyes. And yet, because of their physical tiredness, they miss out on God's glory.In this week's Gospel for the Second Sunday of Lent, Jesus is transfigured and his three beloved disciples are offered a glimpse of the glory to come—not only the glory of the Resurrected Christ, but the glory that awaits all men and women who allow themselves to be transformed by his grace.This Lent, I find myself asking, “Am I asleep with his disciples? What's causing me to shut my eyes to God's glory?” These questions are what have guided my Lenten journey as I discern how to grow in holiness this season.  Each year, the Church in her wisdom asks us to reflect on what is making us spiritually sluggish and helps us prepare for Easter through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. By ramping up in these three Lenten tenets, we can grow in our ability to see God's will and the Holy Spirit at work in our lives.Had the Apostles been awake throughout the entirety of Christ's Transfiguration, they would have basked longer in this glory—fear and confusion would not have gripped them. Lent calls us to wake up, to be alert, not only for the Easter celebration, but for God's invitation to greater holiness throughout our lives.Pope Francis highlights Lent as the continuation of the “journey of conversion.” This journey is a lifelong one. And yet, seasons such as Lent, which focus on an even greater attention to prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, often spur us deeper and further on this journey towards Christ.As Pope Francis encouraged in his 2019 Lenten message:Let us not allow this season of grace to pass in vain! Let us ask God to help us set out on a path of true conversion. Let us leave behind our selfishness and self-absorption, and turn to Jesus' Pasch. Let us stand beside our brothers and sisters in need, sharing our spiritual and material goods with them. In this way, by concretely welcoming Christ's victory over sin and death into our lives, we will also radiate its transforming power to all of creation.The goal of Lent is not only Easter, but Christ Himself. This Lent, may our participation in prayer, fasting, and almsgiving help us shake off the drowsiness that shuts our eyes to God's glory. For more resources to accompany you throughout your Lenten journey, please click here.Questions for Reflection:  Am you asleep with Christ's disciples?

The resurrection ritual doesn't just crown Daredevil and Elektra as King and Queen—it supercharges everyone, including Foggy and Cole North, and the Book of the Fist literally rewrites itself to guide them. Its warning is chilling: the Hand is using the Lunate Talisman to replace world leaders with undead puppets, quietly steering global power while no one notices.  Recruiting monsters to stop monsters. Daredevil leads a breakout at the Myrmidon, offering prisoners a chance to fight for something bigger. Speed Demon, Stilt-Man, Agony, Stegron, and others join up. During the escape, Matt easily takes down U.S. Agent and is shaken to find Robert Goldman imprisoned there, clearly still part of a larger “plan.” In the aftermath, Iron Man and Captain America watch the footage and agree on one thing—Daredevil has crossed a line and needs to be brought in.   Elektra lights the fuse. While Doc Sasquatch tries to hold this unstable team together through therapy, Elektra infiltrates the White House, confirms the President is a Hand construct, and throws him out a window—on camera. It's a tactical win and a PR nightmare, pushing the Avengers closer and painting the Fist as terrorists instead of saviors.  Doing good the hard way. Matt insists the Fist prove they're different, leading a mission to North Carolina where they stop illegal evictions, defuse coordinated bombings, and protect a falling child—caught midair by Stilt-Man. Afterwards, Bullet leaves to find his son Lance, and we learn he's unknowingly walking straight into the Hand's trap.  The war with the Hand. Knowing it's a setup but knowing they need to save Lance, Daredevil still attacks when the Book warns that the Punisher—who's leading the Hand—is killing again. The battle is massive and brutal: Daredevil and Elektra vs. the Punisher, Stick vs. Aka, Cole North vs. a Hand-controlled Bullet, and the rest of the Fist fighting dragons and assassins. They lose ground, barely escape, but Elektra steals the Lunate Talisman—proof the Hand can be beaten.  Everything falls apart. The Avengers close in, the Stromwyns escalate, and Re-Cid gas bombs rain down on the Fist's base. Elektra destroys the Talisman, which reveals the truth _ Stick and Foggy were resurrected by the Hand—then disintegrate. The cost to beat the Hand is devastating as the Avengers arrive to arrest most of the team.  God's plan goes loud. Daredevil manages to escape along with Robert Goldman, who unleashing an avalanche that forces the Avengers to retreat while nearly everyone else is captured. Weeks later, Cole North snaps Matt out of his spiral—telling him to put the suit back on, go fix it. Matt confronts the Stromwyns and trades himself for Elektra's freedom, proving his loyalty by plunging blades into his own eyes.  Death, rebirth, and the real enemy. Believing sacrifice is the only answer, Matt travels to Japan to die at the Beast's gate and rescue the trapped souls—Foggy included. Elektra tries to stop him; he dies anyway, is reborn in white, and learns he's been manipulated by the Wild, sister to the Beast. In the collapsing afterlife, Matt rejects comforting illusions, frees Foggy and the others through love and willpower, and stays behind—armless but defiant—to face the Beast alone.  The final book of volume 7 and the Red Fist Saga was an epilogue to this story and seemly sets us up for volume 8.

In this Agony Aunties episode, Emily and Sophie take the reins while Julia continues her recovery, diving into a thoughtful listener question about accepting children with SEN and learning difficulties as academic parents. Together they explore the often unspoken grief that can arise when parenting looks different from what we imagined, the importance of making space for complex emotions without guilt, and the delicate balance between acceptance and adjustment. The conversation gently unpacks parental expectations, fear of judgment, and how compassion for both yourself and your child can shift the experience, while highlighting the value of support networks, school partnerships, and recognising that a meaningful, fulfilling life is not defined by academic success alone. • Email your questions: jsamuelpod@gmail.com • DM Julia on Instagram: @juliasamuelmbe If Only If create beautifully made nightwear that feels thoughtful, timeless, and deeply comforting at the end of the day.

It's Super Bowl week on Sports Fellowship with Fox and Frank, and Season 7, Episode 22 is proudly dedicated to Emmitt B. Smith—no debate required. Dan Fox and Frank Knight are joined once again by Allan “Action” Jackson for a wide-ranging Super Bowl edition that blends big-game analysis with winter sports nostalgia, league chaos, and classic basement-studio banter.The episode opens with the timing collision of the Super Bowl and the Winter Olympics, sparking a spirited discussion about favorite (and least favorite) Olympic events—from hockey and bobsledding to ski jumping, curling, and the legendary “Agony of Defeat.” The crew reflects on old-school ABC Sports memories, Milan hosting duties, Team USA rooting interests, and why Olympic hockey still captures something pro leagues can't.From there, the conversation turns to the NBA and NHL, where trade deadlines and retooling decisions leave plenty of fans frustrated. The Sixers' salary-dump moves draw criticism, the Eastern Conference logjam gets dissected, and the NBA All-Star Game takes its usual beating. On the ice, the Rangers' decision to move on from Artemi Panarin sparks debate, while the Avalanche, Hurricanes, and Lightning are sized up as true Stanley Cup threats.The middle of the show explodes into a passionate Hall of Fame debate, with Bill Belichick's continued exclusion drawing unanimous outrage. The crew argues that the story of the NFL simply cannot be told without him, criticizes the voting process and media agendas, and revisits long-running cases for players like Eli Manning, Darren Woodson, Jim Plunkett, and others caught in Hall of Fame purgatory.The back half of the episode is all Super Bowl. Dan, Frank, Alan, and Rich break down the matchup from every angle—quarterbacks, defenses, coaching staffs, turnovers, injuries, and pressure points. Seattle's defense, New England's experience, Sam Darnold's volatility, Drake May's upside, and Mike Vrabel's influence all factor into sharply divided predictions. Final scores are locked in, the under/over gets debated, and playoff pick records are loudly defended as only this group can do.The show closes with Super Bowl party logistics, family shout-outs, good-natured trash talk, and a reminder of what grounds the podcast beyond sports.Special Thanks to:Fox Brothers Alarms - https://foxbrothersalarms.comFirst Baptist church of Phillipsburg NJ http://www.fbcpburg.org/

In this Agony Aunties episode, Sophie and Emily return to answer a deeply thoughtful listener question about feeling second best to a partner's late spouse. Together, they reflect on communication within relationships, the role of the inner critic, and how comparison often reveals the stories we tell ourselves rather than the truth of how we are seen. The conversation offers gentle reframes, practical ways to step out of self-punishing thought loops, and reassurance that entering a family touched by grief isn't about replacement but about bringing your own, distinct presence into the system. • Email your questions: jsamuelpod@gmail.com • DM Julia on Instagram: @juliasamuelmbe If Only If create beautifully made nightwear that feels thoughtful, timeless, and deeply comforting at the end of the day.

How can you train your son into good character, character that will last, character that will see him become a man of responsibility and action?The allures of society can drown your son in ease of life, pleasure, and infinite time-wasting.  Many young men simply fail to do anything with their lives.It doesn't have to be this way.Irving Stone wrote of Michelangelo in The Agony and the Ecstasy, “...his own integrity… forced him to do his best, even when he would have preferred to do nothing at all.”There is a way to instill character in your son: give him godly mentors, a high target to aim for, and set challenges for him that will awaken the fire within his soul.For more encouragement and parenting advice, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.

That Christ should be a man of prayer was required by the terms or conditions of the covenant between himself and the Father. That covenant, which imposed upon him certain obligations, made him the heir also of many promises. Yet the fulfilment of these promises was suspended on the condition that Jesus should solicit them in prayer. Whatsoever was needful for the preservation of his person, or the erection of his kingdom, the Father engaged to bestow, requiring only the Son to ask.

0:00 - The Thrill of Victory, and the Agony of Defeat. That's how the Double Diparoos go sometimes. Even though he took that L on the way out, MPJ looked great in his return to Denver as member of the Brooklyn Nets. Meanwhile, the Avs sleepwalked through whatever the hell that effort was in Montreal.16:52 - Davis Webb withdrew his name from the Raiders Head Coach search. Does this mean he'll be the Broncos OC now? Would Sean Payton let him call the plays?33:11 - Drake Maye is "limited in practice" right now with a shoulder injury. Did that happen during the AFC Championship game? Or was it lingering from before?

While Julia recovers from shoulder surgery, Sophie and Emily step in to respond to a painful and familiar dilemma, wanting another child when your partner doesn't. They explore the emotional deadlock that can arise when a decision feels completely binary, and how the absence of compromise can intensify grief, fear, and resentment on both sides of a relationship.Together, they reflect on how meaningful listening, really hearing what having or not having a baby represents to each person, can soften polarisation and protect connection, even when there is no easy answer. They talk about guilt, longing, fear of resentment, and the importance of staying emotionally connected through difference. This episode offers compassionate guidance for navigating unbearable uncertainty, honouring grief, and finding ways to continue, with yourself and with each other, when life doesn't unfold as hoped. Julia and Helen Fielding will be recording live at The Tabernacle in Notting Hill on March 3rd at 7pm.

Meeting Jesus: Wednesday Evenings In Luke With Dr. Clint Archer. Tonight's Sermon Is Agony & Ecstasy In Discipleship: Trials, Reward, & Grace Is From Luke 22:28-34. Sermon Outline - 3 Facets Of Discipleship So We Know What Awaits Us: 1. The Incentive Of Reward 2. The Inevitability Of Trials 3. The Imperative Of Grace

In this special Agony Aunties episode, we pause our usual listener questions so Julia can share something personal as she prepares for a reverse shoulder replacement after years of complications from Ramsay Hunt syndrome and a serious injury. With Emily and Sophie beside her, she speaks openly about the dread of facing another major operation, the loss of trust in her body, the somatic shock that surfaced when she made the decision, and the uncomfortable confrontation with ageing, vulnerability, and past medical memories. They explore how coping strategies like denial and busyness can feel protective, how therapy can be both helpful and challenging, and how support from others makes an enormous difference even when some parts of the journey are inevitably solitary. It is an honest, tender conversation about fear, resilience, and the deeply human work of accepting help and allowing the body to heal. Learn more about your ad choices.
