The Athletic's college football reporter Stewart Mandel joined "Baskin and Phelps" Thursday talking about all things CFB and why this year's Big Ten title game doesn't have much of a buzz.

Welcome to Day 5 of Advent and we will meditate and reflect on the beautiful anticipation of this season.Imagine the anticipation that Mary had for the birth of her son.What anticipations do we have during this holiday season?Today's reading is Luke 1: 26-38—the Annunciation.If you have time, dedicate a few minutes to read the entire Chapter 5 of the Book of Luke today.By dedicating a chapter each day, you'll find that by Christmas day, you'll have traversed the entire gospel according to Luke, accompanying Jesus on the remarkable journey of his life.(DONE IS BETTER THAN PERFECT! This Advent Season, 2025, is a busy one, and some episodes might be recycled from a previous year. In other words, the day of the week might not line up perfectly with the actual date. I ask for your grace and pray you will still receive the message Jesus is sending to your heart as you listen to each episode.)Source: Christian Brothers Publications. (2012).

Do you anticipate His return?

For most of us, Christmas is synonymous with packed schedules, more to-dos, hurry, stress, & financial pressure. We can celebrate Christmas in a completely different way…humbly, beautifully, and generously. Advent is the story of a wondrous moment when God entered our world to make things right. It is the greatest story ever told and it changes everything—including the way we celebrate Christmas. Be a part of a different story this Christmas, one that celebrates our King and brings hope to a watching world.

Hail and blessed be the hour and moment in which the Son of God was born Of the most pure Virgin Mary, at midnight, in Bethlehem, in the piercing cold. In that hour vouchsafe, I beseech Thee, O my God, to hear my prayer and grant my desires through the merits of Our Savior Jesus Christ, and of His blessed Mother.Amen*Pray the prayer 15 times daily from Novemeber 30 until Christmas Eve.Thank you for your support. God bless you.Support the show

This lecture focuses on the theme of hope within the context of Advent, the season of waiting and anticipation leading up to Christmas. It begins with a reading from John 1:17, highlighting the contrast between the law given through Moses and the grace and truth that come through Jesus Christ. The speaker humorously engages the audience, preparing them for a short message during family service, and setting the tone for reflection on the significance of Advent.As the speaker delves into the scripture, the emphasis is placed on the act of waiting, drawing parallels with the essence of the Advent season. The exploration of John 1 serves as an illustration of waiting expectantly for the Messiah, illustrating how the passage gradually unveils the identity of Jesus. The speaker skillfully mirrors this theme of anticipation, noting that the narrative insists on pausing and reflecting rather than rushing to the conclusion.Using relatable anecdotes, the speaker contrasts the desire for immediate gratification with the spiritual discipline of waiting. An engaging joke about a slow bus driver sets the stage for broader reflections on impatience in daily life, including humorous references to the common aversion to waiting in mundane situations, such as at the DMV. This establishes a connection with the audience, making the concept of waiting more tangible and relatable.The speaker explains that the act of waiting during Advent serves a purpose, encouraging the community to reflect on their hopes and trust in God's promises. Drawing from Psalm 130, the idea that waiting breeds hope is further explored, linking it to God's unfailing love and faithfulness. The message encourages listeners to embrace the discomfort of waiting as a way to deepen their faith and realize that hope is not based on empty expectations but on the steadfast nature of God.A personal narrative about a family trip to Acadia National Park introduces a vivid illustration of waiting. The speaker recounts the adventure of seeking the easternmost point of the U.S. and the meticulous planning required to witness a sunrise. This story captures the anticipation and eventual fulfillment that accompanies the long wait in the cold, making it a powerful metaphor for the Advent season. The experience of watching the sun rise, after a period of uncertainty, reflects the hope that believers are invited to hold during Advent.Ultimately, the lecture culminates in a message of assurance. Just as the sunrise symbolizes the certainty of new beginnings, so does the return of Christ embody the hope that Advent represents. The speaker encourages the audience to press on in their faith, drawing a parallel to Hosea 6, where the certainty of the Lord's love is likened to the reliable cycles of nature. This Advent, attendees are reminded to practice waiting in expectation, trusting that the fulfillment of hope in Jesus is coming.In closing, the speaker invites the congregation to join in prayer, expressing gratitude for the hope nurtured during this season. The emphasis remains on anticipation for something far greater than transient joys, focusing instead on the profound grace and truth embodied in Christ. The message leaves the audience with a renewed sense of purpose as they navigate the days ahead, fostering a community spirit of collective waiting and hopeful expectation for the celebrations of Christmas.

In our Nov 30 Sunday gathering we conclude our series about the Big Story - what Christians believe and what the Bible is all about. This week's discussion questions are below: Which of the seven core beliefs from this series has reshaped your understanding of the Bible the most? Why? How does the ending of the biblical story (Revelation 21) change how you see the beginning (Genesis 1–2)? The sermon compared Revelation's ending to a “twist ending” that reframes everything.
What did the ending of Scripture reframe for you personally? Revelation 21 shows heaven coming down to earth. How is this different from how you grew up imagining “heaven”? What part of the New Jerusalem imagery (garden, city, river, the tree of life, God dwelling with His people) speaks most to you? Why? Jesus taught us to pray, “Your kingdom come… on earth as it is in heaven.”
What does that reveal about the current state of the world? Where do you see “shadowlands” in our world today—places where God's effective will is clearly not being done? Why does it matter that Christians understand themselves as living between two kingdoms? How does the parable of the “Good King” help you understand Jesus' mission in a fresh way? What strikes you most about the King entering the rebel kingdom “in fragile flesh and blood”?
How does that deepen your understanding of the gospel? The sermon said: “You are an ambassador of the King.”
What does an ambassador do?
What might that look like in your daily routines? Where do you feel God calling you to “carry His light into the shadowlands” this week? What difference does it make that our future is bodily resurrection—not escaping to a spiritual sky-world? How does the promise that “your labor is not in vain” (1 Cor 15:58) encourage you right now? The sermon said: “Resurrection hope doesn't pull us out of the world—it roots us more deeply in it.”
What does that look like in practical terms? If God is renewing creation, how does that change the way you think about your job, your art, or your acts of justice and service? Which part of your ordinary life feels most connected to God's kingdom purposes? How does the Christian hope of the restoration of all things reshape the way we face pain, loss, or injustice today? Can you think of a time when remembering “the ending of the story” carried you through a hard season? Jesus' final words are: “Behold, I am coming soon.”
What stirs in you when you hear that?
Anticipation? Confusion? Comfort? Something else? What would change in your week if you lived with a conscious awareness:
“The King is returning”?

Découvrez l'analyse du récent Frankenstein de Guillermo Del Torro sur la plateforme Netflix par Paul Hébert, expert du réalisateur. Quoi dire de cette nouvelle adaptation de Mary Shelley ? Après le chef d'oeuvre de James Whale, datant de 1931, qui a imposé la figure monstrueuse de Boris Karloff que pouvons-nous faire de nouveau ou de mieux avec la créature de Mary Shelley qui aura également été interprété par Christopher Lee (1957), Robert de Niro (en 1994) ou encore Eddy Mitchell (1984) ?

Pour la première fois en France, Katie Williams vient s'exprimer sur un podcast français ! L'autrice de Mon Assassinat chez Actes Sud revient sur son premier roman qui mélange polar et science-fiction. Digne d'un épisode de Black Mirror Nouvelle venue dans le monde de la science-fiction, Katie Williams a fait parlé d'elle en début d'année 2025 avec la sortie française de Mon Assassinat aux éditions Actes Sud. Ce roman d'anticipation proposait une enquête policière sur la thématique du clonage et du féminicide. Très efficace et malin, on a souhaité mettre en avant cette romancière qui n'avait jamais été interviewé chez nous ! Son thriller de science-fiction se lit d'une traite et nous avons hâte de le voir adapter sur grand ou petit écran ! Résumé : Cinq femmes, toutes victimes du même tueur en série, sont ramenées d'entre les morts – ou plutôt clonées en grande pompe par une agence gouvernementale à l'image ternie. Un coup de com dont personne ne pouvait imaginer les répercussions médiatiques perverses. Restituées à leurs familles en deuil, elles retrouvent les vies qui leur ont été arrachées, portant en elles les souvenirs, émotions et traits de caractère de leurs versions originales. Du moins en apparence. Pour Lou, la dernière victime, l'amour maternel se heurte à l'étrangeté du retour : sa fille de neuf mois la rejette, ses souvenirs vacillent. Tandis qu'elle cherche à comprendre le mystère vertigineux de sa propre mort, elle découvre que son “soi d'origine” envisageait de tout quitter. Que s'est- il réellement passé ?Hébergé par Ausha.

The Scripture readings are Isaiah 65:17-25; 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11; and Matthew 25:1-13. When it comes to the Last Day, Scripture doesn't answer every question. But you do know the, Who: Christ is returning, and He is returning for you. You know the Why: Jesus is returning to give you eternal life in the world to come. And that's enough.

In this follow-up to our paddle-angle masterclass, Michael and Mircea dig into the advanced version of one of pickleball's most important (and misunderstood) skills: learning to read what your opponents are about to do before they do it. After catching up—Michael's Thanksgiving trip to North Carolina, CRBN's new cold-weather gear, and the limited-edition CRBN Summit paddle drop—the guys jump straight into how paddle-angle reading evolves at the 4.0–5.0 level. At this stage, everyone can dink, reset, roll, and counter. The real separator becomes: who anticipates better? And even more importantly: who disguises better? Michael and Mircea break down the specifics of how higher-level players use paddle angle, stance, and subtle body cues to hide their intentions. They talk about why the non-returning partner should basically be a walking radar—predicting drops vs drives, sliding into better positions early, and helping their partner get up with less chaos. Then they move into real on-court examples from their recent games together: • Why giving strong players their favorite patterns is a recipe for pain • How to instantly recognize flat drives that are 100% sailing long • Why racquetball-style grips almost guarantee upward-facing, out-of-control forehands • How Mircea disguises speed-ups so late that you can't read the direction until the last millisecond They introduce the concept of half-tracking, where you use your peripheral vision to track the ball into your partner's contact but immediately shift your eyes forward to read your opponents' paddle angles, shoulders, hips, and swing cues. This lets you anticipate flicks, rolls, chicken-wings, and speed-ups before the ball ever crosses the net. To put it all into practice, they give three simple, powerful training ideas: Dink-only paddle-angle reads Drill cross-court or straight-on dinks and make your #1 focus predicting direction based solely on paddle angle. Slow-motion prediction training Film a point, pause before contact, and try calling the shot—line, middle, cross-court, drop, roll, or speed-up. Disguise training Learn to hold your paddle still longer and change direction at the last moment so your opponents can't read you. The episode wraps with a huge truth bomb: If you want to keep improving past 4.0, and especially if your legs and reaction time aren't 22 years old anymore, paddle-angle reading might be the single biggest skill you can add. It lets you move sooner, defend more confidently, and see the game two beats ahead. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Découvrez la série de space opera Orbital qui fête ses 20 ans aux éditions Dupuis ! Du grand Space Opera Orbital. Ce nom résonne avec respect dans l'esprit des amoureux de BD et des passionnés de science-fiction. En vingt ans, neuf albums et un hors-série, le dessinateur Serge Pellé et le scénariste Sylvain Runberg ont fait grandir leur space opera conçu entre la Suède et l'Indre-et-Loire. Le charme des dessins, l'exigence des histoires, la profondeur des personnages ainsi que la qualité intrinsèque de l'univers font de cette saga interstellaire un incontournable. Invasion extraterrestre, guerre galactique, exploration planétaire…  « Orbital fait partie des premiers projets que j'ai écrits en me lançant dans la bande dessinée, confie Sylvain Runberg, auteur désormais très expérimenté. La genèse a débuté suite à ma lecture des trois premiers tomes du Cycle de la Culture de Iain M. Banks. Cette série, qui raconte les agissements dans l'ombre d'un groupe de forces spéciales au service d'une société utopique, traite avec beaucoup d'habileté des questions géopolitiques. Je me revois encore terminer L'Homme des jeux et me dire que j'aimerais inventer des récits avec ce genre d'angle. Au final, la BD n'a rien à voir avec la saga de Banks, mais c'est vraiment cette lecture-là qui m'a donné envie de faire cette bande dessinée. » L'influence de Iain M. Banks reste quand même bien présente. Basés sur la station Orbital et travaillant pour l'Office diplomatique intermondial. Caleb Swany et Mézoké Izzua doivent résoudre les crises et apporter la paix sur des planètes en tout genre. Le lecteur suit ainsi les aventures rythmées de deux super diplomates proches d'un autre couple mythique de la bande dessinée de science-fiction, Valérian et Laureline, dont ils sont les dignes héritiers. Le duo va cependant quitter, au fur et à mesure des albums, les vêtements des héros de Christin et Mézières pour enfiler les costumes de personnages touchés par la tragédie. Leurs blessures et leurs émotions sont révélées dans des récits toujours plus ambitieux riches en complots, décès et trahisons. La série est loin d'être un long fleuve tranquille. « Quand on évoque la diplomatie et la géopolitique, il est rare de voir un happy end, précise Sylvain Runberg. Je suis assez attaché à ce que mes albums possèdent une certaine dose de réalisme. » On a tendance à l'oublier mais Mézoké, de la race Sandjarr, est aussi un des premiers personnages non genré de l'histoire de la bande dessinée. Orbital (nom directement inspiré d'un duo britannique faisant de la musique électronique qu'affectionne particulièrement Sylvain) ne serait rien sans le talent graphique de Serge Pellé. Dans sa façon d'imaginer ses aliens, ses planètes et surtout ses scènes d'action, le dessinateur a magnifié la série. « J'ai gardé ce que j'avais appris dans le dessin animé, notamment les poses des personnages. Le début et la fin du geste occupent deux cases. Ce procédé dynamique amorce surtout quelque chose dans la tête du lecteur, qui imagine lui-même les mouvements que tu ne montres pas. Cette technique d'animation est très efficace et j'essaye de séquencer toutes mes scènes d'action de la sorte. Il ne faut pas oublier que l'on a peu de place dans un album. On doit arriver à donner un mouvement. Transcender la séquence reste mon objectif principal. » Celui qui réalise de multiples croquis pour préparer chaque aventure a réussi à faire évoluer graphiquement Orbital, repoussant ses limites. « On ressent des variations de couleurs beaucoup plus grandes si l'on regarde les premiers albums car j'ai remplacé les feutres par l'encre directement. »Hébergé par Ausha.

How do we stay prepared for Jesus' second coming? Jesus points us to his promises written in his word.

Jesus declared he would not eat the Passover again until it is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God. Dr. John explores this final Passover meal, unpacking the symbolism of the four cups, unleavened bread, and bitter herbs that point forward to the marriage supper of the Lamb. He reveals why Jesus had overwhelming passion for this meal—it was both the last before his suffering and a preview of the greatest celebration to come, yet shadowed by Judas' betrayal.The End of the Age: Our desire to see into the future is more than curiosity. We want to know what will happen so we can be prepared. If we know what the weather will be, what the stock market will do or how our job interview will turn out, we can adjust accordingly. In this 10-message series, Dr. John Neufeld teaches on Jesus' words and actions from Luke 21-22. Jesus points to the end of the age and describes what will be. While He doesn't answer our question of "When?", Jesus tells believers how to be ready. If we live as prepared people, the timing of Jesus' return will not catch us off guard.
