1/8. The Deep History of North American Mammals and the Arrival of Human Predators — Dan Flores — Flores's book Wild New World examines North American fauna spanning 66 million years, detailing the evolutionary processes and intercontinental migration patterns that created the diverse Pliocene animal assemblage. Flores argues that Eurasian animals including deer and elk possessed significant adaptive advantages over indigenous species because they possessed millennia of evolutionary experience with humans functioning as apex predators. Flores emphasizes that humans emerged as a distinctive carnivorous mammalian species possessing unprecedented hunting capabilities, ultimately driving them across continents and oceans in search of prey.

Pastor Tony shares from Luke 1 about how we can have hope in every circumstance because of the faithfulness of God revealed to us in the season of Advent. We can lean into the hope of the gospel because Advent is the story of a God who came near. As we listen to God's voice, embrace radical gratitude and give God the glory he deserves, we learn that there is a gift in every season when we walk through those seasons with God.

“Imminent Arrival” seriesAdvent marks the start of a new Church Year. We begin at the end, watching King Jesus ride into Jerusalem on a donkey colt, knowing full well that he will be killed before the end of the week. The events of Palm Sunday serve as a microcosm for all Jesus' work, proving the King of the universe was willing to humble himself and endure anything for our salvation. That is precisely why Christ came. That is why we anticipate his imminent arrival not with worry but with joy.
Our King is coming again! When he does, he will transform this world. While we wait, we walk in his light.

Sermon Summary: “The Unexpected Arrival” — Matthew 24:36–44 This week we launched a new Christmas series, Christmas Through Matthew's Eyes, by looking at a passage most people never associate with Christmas: Jesus' teaching on His return. Matthew ties the first coming of Christ to the second by highlighting one shared reality—both arrivals come unexpectedly. Jesus tells us plainly that no one knows the day or hour of His return. Just as people were unprepared for His birth in Bethlehem, most will be unprepared for His return as King. Jesus uses the days of Noah, everyday scenes from ordinary life, and the image of a thief in the night to warn us that His coming will be sudden and surprising. In this season when we celebrate Christ's first coming, Scripture calls us to prepare our hearts for His second. Jesus gives three commands that shape how we should live while we wait: watch, be ready, and live faithfully. Readiness is not about predicting dates or deciphering signs—it's about a present, obedient, personal relationship with Christ. It's about living today in the way we will wish we had lived when He returns. As we enter the Christmas season—decorating, planning gatherings, and celebrating Jesus' birth—we are reminded that the same Savior who came quietly and unexpectedly to Bethlehem will one day return in glory. The question is not whether He will come, but whether we will be ready when He does.
Morning Service: "An Unexpected Arrival" Scripture: Matthew 24:36-44 Jesus talks about what is yet to come. How does this colliding of past and future shape what we expect?
The king is an important person. His arrival at our place can mean something quite different to us depending on our relationship with him. We might fear his arrival if we expect him to punish us. We might welcome his arrival if we expect him to validate us. Either way, we expect his arrival to be a big deal. How would it make us feel if we heard that his arrival would be informal and familiar? Advent marks the start of a new Church Year. We begin at the end, watching King Jesus ride into Jerusalem on a donkey colt, knowing full well that he will be killed before the end of the week. The events of Palm Sunday serve as a microcosm for all of Jesus' work, proving the King of the universe was willing to humble himself and endure anything for our salvation. That is precisely why Christ came. That is why we anticipate his imminent arrival not with worry but with joy.

The No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes are arriving at their team hotel early Friday evening in preparation for their annual showdown with archrival Michigan.The team from BuckeyeHuddle.com is live on the ground near Ann Arbor and will talk to OSU head coach Ryan Day one final time before The Game kicks off on Saturday.
Bronze flashed on the water and songs filled the air as our fleet left the Piraeus, but the shine faded fast along the Italian coast. Harbors opened while hearts stayed closed, Segesta's “treasure” dissolved into borrowed plate, and our grand design was forced to contend with supply lists, neutral cities, and the creeping cost of time. We lay out how awe met caution in Magna Graecia, why admiration didn't translate into alliances, and how an expedition sold on momentum stalled before the straits.Inside the armada, strategy split three ways. Alcibiades treated diplomacy as the first battlefield, Lamachus argued for a decisive strike, and Nicias warned that every day ashore drained our strength. Then Athens called Alcibiades home to face charges, and he slipped into exile—taking with him both political cover and a unifying vision. Meanwhile, Syracuse moved from rumor to readiness. Hermocrates urged a coalition and preemption; Athenagoras dismissed invasion talk and accused rivals of stoking panic. A measured course prevailed: arm, scout, and prepare. We follow that shift, the quiet coup that delivered Catana, and the dispiriting tour that yielded little more than thirty talents.The turn comes with a ruse. Nicias baited the Syracusans into marching north as our ships slid south to the Olympion. The battle that followed was tight and testing: veteran cohesion against raw numbers, archers and peltasts picking seams, cavalry blunted by terrain and haste, and a sudden storm breaking nerves. We won the field and raised a trophy, but not the decisive victory that ends a war. From there, the real stakes emerge—where to plant a permanent base, how to choke Syracuse without cavalry, and how to keep a divided command aligned as the city behind us grows impatient.Sail with us through shifting alliances, political gambits, and battlefield deception as the Sicilian Expedition moves from pageantry to peril. If this story gripped you, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves ancient history, and leave a review with the moment you found most surprising. Support the show

The USS Gerald R. Ford and Gunboat Diplomacy in the Caribbean Guest: Rebecca Grant Rebecca Grant affirmed that the arrival of the USS Gerald R. Ford supercarrier in the Caribbean is the "top symbol of American power," providing significant strike and surveillance options, with the rapid deployment being unusual and signaling a large strategic shift to reassert U.S. interests in the Western Hemisphere, pressure Maduro, and push back against Chinese and Russian influence, and Grant agreed with China's label of the action as "gunboat diplomacy," noting that it is strategically effective in signaling America's seriousness about the region. 1904
