We all want to ascend to great heights. We all hope that we can accomplish our potential and unlock our opportunities. We all yearn for self-actualization and development. But it seems that the path of ascent is invariably bumpy. It seems that an ascent to great heights must entail numerous falls along the way. The […]
Cam Venter walks us through Psalm 134, the final Song of Ascent. This short and beautiful psalm invites us to lift our eyes and bless the Lord as we reach the end of our own year's journey. Cam explores the exchange of blessing at the heart of the passage as we bless the Lord and the Lord blesses us, the Maker of heaven and earth.

In the incredible final act of Plato's Gorgias (481–527), Dcn. Harrison Garlick and Dr. Greg McBrayer (Ashland University, New Thinkery podcast) tackle the longest and most brutal confrontation: Socrates versus Callicles, the most shameless, most ambitious, and—as Greg insists—nastiest character in all of Plato. Visit thegreatbookspodcast.com for our read schedule!Check out our COLLECTION OF GUIDES to the great books.Go to THE ASCENT to receive two spiritual lessons a week.Callicles storms in threatening to “whoop Socrates in the mouth” and delivers the most radical claim yet: conventional justice is a sham invented by the weak; by nature the superior should rule, take more, and live without restraint—coining the first recorded “law of nature” in Western literature to mean might makes right (482e–484c). Socrates flips the argument, forces Callicles to admit intelligence without self-control is mere cleverness, and reduces his unlimited-pleasure principle to absurdity with the leaky-jar and escalating vulgar examples (constant scratching, the catamite, 494–495), provoking Callicles' outraged “Aren't you ashamed?”—proof he still clings to the noble (kalon) despite his bravado.At 503a Socrates finally reveals the two kinds of rhetoric: the shameful, flattering kind that seeks only pleasure, and the true, noble rhetoric that “makes the souls of citizens as good as possible” and strives to say “what is best” whether pleasant or painful—the kind Socrates claims to be the only Athenian practicing (521d). When Callicles becomes completely recalcitrant, Socrates turns to the audience with the unforgettable myth of naked souls judged by dead judges (523a–527e): every injustice leaves visible scars no rhetoric or power can hide; the cosmos itself is ordered toward justice and will not allow injustice to triumph forever. Athens is about to execute its only true statesman, but the myth promises that in the final reckoning Socrates' just soul will shine while his accusers' scarred souls stand exposed. The dialogue ends not with Callicles' conversion but with Socrates' quiet vindication: living justly is ultimately worth it, even in a city that kills its best citizen. Next week: a short break from Plato for Flannery O'Connor's “The Lame Shall Enter First.”

In this special Cindy Wiles edition of Tell Me More, Katy Reed Hodges sits down with Dr. Dennis Wiles and Cindy Wiles for a warm, funny, and deeply encouraging conversation.They look back on an incredible Engagement Month at First Baptist Arlington—celebrating Ascent, global partnerships, kids' engagement (yes, goats and a kid-sized dirt bike!), and a church learning to stay flexible and Spirit-led in a changing world.Cindy also shares the story behind her recent sermon on influence and mission—how “doing good” isn't always the same as “doing God,” and why everyday obedience and openness to the Spirit matter more than ever. Along the way, we get an honest, delightful look into Dennis and Cindy's story: from sharing a hospital nursery and meeting in chemistry class, to a first date/proposal combo, a canceled wedding, a midnight gas station, and a great-grandmother's prophetic blessing.

In this episode of Retro Titans, Phil returns to the vibrant world of Pico-8, the tiny virtual console with a massive creative heart. Following the success of our earlier chat with composer Chris Donnelly (aka Gruber), we're diving deeper into this pixel-perfect ecosystem with one of its most prolific creators, Johan Peitz. From Alpine Alpaca to Golf Sunday and Ascent, Johan's games capture the playful experimentation and elegant simplicity that make Pico-8 such a joy for developers and players alike. Phil and Johan explore the origins of Johan's game-making journey, from early inspirations to discovering Pico-8's unique constraints and charm. They discuss the process behind demakes like Pico Driller, how collaboration with Gruber shapes the tone of his games, and what makes the Pico-8 community one of the most supportive and inventive corners of the indie scene. Johan also shares advice for newcomers curious about making their first Pico-8 game — and why the best ideas often come from working within limitations. To wrap things up, Johan takes us through his favourite Pico-8 creations, shines a light on some standout developers in the scene, and reflects on the music that brings his tiny worlds to life.
In this teaching, Pastor Gary closes our journey through the Songs of Ascent by looking at the final two psalms the ancient pilgrims sang as they entered Jerusalem. Psalm 133 celebrates the beauty of unity—brothers and sisters walking the same path toward God. Unity isn't easy, but it grows when we see each other as God's anointed people, and when the Holy Spirit softens our hearts through pouring out new life. Where unity exists, God commands blessing.Psalm 134 is the pilgrims' final response: “Bless the Lord.” Having arrived at the temple, they lift their hands in worship. We do the same today—praising God for saving us, sustaining us, and leading us on. The Songs of Ascent begin with “Woe is me” and end with “Bless the Lord.” That is the path of every Christian pilgrim: from struggle to worship, from journey to joy!

Power meets perspective from the street to the driveway. We start behind the wheel of the 2026 Chevrolet Tahoe Premier 4WD, unpacking what a modern full-size SUV gets right: a serene cabin, a 17-inch horizontal infotainment screen, a crisp 15-inch head-up display, and magnetic ride control that smooths rough pavement. The 6.2L V8 and 10-speed automatic serve up 420 hp and 460 lb-ft, real-world confidence for towing up to 8,200 pounds and threading parking lots without drama. We talk price reality too, from base LS to a Premier build that climbs with paint, 22-inch wheels, and comfort options, and we stack it against the Ford Expedition, Nissan Armada, Toyota Sequoia hybrid, and GMC Yukon.Then we widen the lens to car culture and remember why we fell for this world. From the chopped and channeled customs of the 1950s and 1960s to rivalries that sometimes boiled over—like the 1959 Artesia Moose Lodge rumble—car clubs shaped style, speed, and community. That legacy lives on in quieter ways: charity cruises, skills shared over open hoods, and the unspoken code of friends rotating from one garage to the next. Personal stories bring it home, reminding us that culture isn't just events and logos; it's late-night fixes, bent pushrods, and the pride of making something run right.To round it out, we jump into the 2025 Subaru Ascent Onyx Touring. Built in Indiana with standard all-wheel drive, Subaru's three-row plays the long game with a conservative design, a stellar, easy-to-use infotainment interface, and thoughtful touches like retracting third-row headrests for a clear rear view. The 2.4L turbo flat-four and CVT deliver a smooth, efficient drive—around 23 mpg over a long stint—while keeping 5,000 pounds of towing in its back pocket. If the Tahoe is about power and presence, the Ascent is about calm and confidence: stable handling from a low center of gravity, high safety scores, and the kind of ride that makes family trips feel shorter.If you enjoyed the blend of real-world reviews and car club heritage, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review—what are you driving, and which garage story still makes you smile?Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Today on Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Dcn. Harrison Garlick and Dr. Matthew Bianco of the Circe Institute discuss the second part of Plato's Gorgias--the dialogue between Socrates and Polus—Gorgias' spirited, “colt-like” student who bursts in at 461b accusing his own teacher of being “too ashamed” to admit rhetoric needs no justice, only the power to persuade. Visit thegreatbookspodcast.com for our reading schedule.Visit our LIBRARY OF WRITTEN GUIDES to the great books.Visit our sister publication, THE ASCENT, for two spiritual lessons per week.What follows is pure Platonic fireworks: Socrates refuses long speeches, forces short questions, and delivers the unforgettable pastry-baker analogy (462–466a), branding rhetoric as mere flattery—like cookery or cosmetics for the soul—that “has no speech to give about the nature of the things” (465a). Polus agrees with several premises yet recoils when Socrates concludes that doing injustice is worse than suffering it, and the unpunished tyrant is the unhappiest man alive (478–479). The conversation spirals into a shocking vision of punishment as medicine for the soul: the wrongdoer should run to the judge “as to a doctor” (480b). Throughout, the hosts explore whether rhetoric itself is evil or only rhetoric divorced from philosophy, using the tripartite soul as a foothold—Gorgias as corrupted intellect, Polus as honor-craving thumos, Callicles (next week) as unashamed appetite—while Socrates models a just soul governing all three. Dr. Bianco brings fresh insight into Socrates' tailored pedagogy and the happiness that only a philosophical rhetoric can truly serve.Key Themes & Search Tags:• Plato's Gorgias• Polus• Rhetoric vs Philosophy• Tripartite Soul• Doing injustice vs suffering injustice• Punishment as medicine• Pastry-baker analogy• Classical Education• Socrates pedagogy• Pleonexia• Happiness eudaimonia

This week we explored Psalm 132, the first psalm in the final triad of the Songs of Ascent. While earlier psalms focused on the hardships of the journey, these last three were sung inside Jerusalem—reminding us that even now we are spiritually seated with Christ, yet still on pilgrimage toward our eternal home.In this psalm we learn that We ascend through a passion for God's presence and an expectation of His reward.Psalm 132 opens with a bold request: “Lord, remember David.” Scripture doesn't shy away from the idea of reward—God strengthens His people by reminding us that faithfulness matters and that He will repay each person according to their works (Revelation 22:12). Reward isn't our focus, but it is a biblical encouragement along the way.The heart of the psalm is David's passion for God's presence. He refused to rest until the Ark—the symbol of God's holiness, power, and mercy—was brought to the center of Israel's life. His passion was born out of love, not ambition, and it inspired the people to seek God with the same desire. Today, through Jesus and the indwelling Spirit, we are God's temple—so the question becomes: Are we cultivating that same longing for His presence?Finally, Psalm 132 shows that God's plans exceed even our best intentions. David wanted to build God a house, but God promised instead to build him an eternal one—a promise fulfilled in Jesus Christ, the Son of David, whose kingdom has no end.Passion for God's presence leads us upward, and confidence in God's promises keeps us moving forward. Trust Him—His plans will always surpass your expectations.

This week on the Dirt and Vert Podcast, we're sitting down with an emerging ultra phenom, Hans Troyer! His journey is a testament to raw talent, resilience, and the power of setting audacious goals.Hans takes us from his days dreaming of football and basketball to finding his true calling on the trails. He gets real about the lessons learned the hard way—like the early struggles with fueling and hydration—and the remarkable comeback after a serious injury that only fueled his fire.We dive into his incredible 2025 season, where he racked up multiple top finishes in prestigious races, including an impressive 8th place finish at Western States 100 (a major accomplishment for a 100-mile debut!) and earning a Golden Ticket earlier in the year! He shares his innovative nutrition strategies, his focus on intrinsic motivation, and how he's navigating the pressures of being in the ultra spotlight.Hans's story is a powerful reminder that the best version of yourself is always possible, and that success in ultra running comes down to continuous learning and the sustainability of your passion.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Hans Troyer01:10 Hans's Early Running Journey06:47 Transition to Ultra Running10:22 Fueling Challenges and Learning14:54 The Impact of Rabdo and Recovery19:54 Grindstone Experience and Lessons Learned24:15 Success at Tussey Mountain Back 50 Mile29:27 The Challenges of Endurance Racing29:58 Overcoming Setbacks and Building Confidence32:49 A Year of Dominance in Racing36:03 Reflections on Race Performances38:52 The Reality of Racing Under Pressure40:47 The Importance of Community in Racing43:27 Future Goals and Upcoming Races46:15 Strategies for Recovery and Longevity56:16 The Hardest Race Experience01:00:42 A Life-Changing Hospital Experience01:03:48 The Drive to Run: Passion and Purpose01:07:47 Aiming for Greatness in Ultra Racing01:09:54 Handling the Spotlight and Pressure01:13:06 Chasing vs. Being Chased in Races01:14:12 Experiences at Blue Ridge Ultra01:15:00 Innovative Hydration: The Super Bottle01:18:16 Looking Ahead: Future Races and Goals

In this week's message from our Ascent: Walking up the Pilgrims' Pathway series, Pastor Nate takes us deep into the heart of two of the most intimate Songs of Ascent, Psalm 130 and Psalm 131 , to show us how we ascend in our pilgrimage through waiting for God's mercy with quiet trust.Psalm 130 begins “Out of the depths I cry to You, O Lord,” painting a picture of the pit of sin—a place of helplessness where no one can save themselves. But there, in the darkness, we find the beauty of God's character: forgiveness, steadfast love (hesed), and plentiful redemption. Through the cross of Christ, these are not abstract ideas, they're living realities. Like Hosea's faithful love for Gomer, God's hesed runs deeper than our failures and stronger than our rebellion.We are called to pray and wait. Waiting isn't passive, it's an act of hope and longing that just as the watchman waits for dawn, the light of God's mercy will rise. We hope on His Word—trusting His promises—and we hope for His Word—expecting His Spirit to speak and lead. Psalm 131 moves from crying out to calming down, from desperation to quiet trust. David models humility before God, resisting Satan's attacks on the heart, eyes, and mind. Instead of arrogance, pride, and restless speculation, he quiets his soul “like a weaned child with its mother.” Pastor Nate contrasts childish faith, which demands and fears, with childlike faith, which rests and trusts.As pilgrims, we can be sure of this: The Lord Himself will redeem us from all our iniquities.

Today on Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Dcn. Harrison Garlick and Dr. Daniel Wagner dive into Plato's Meno as a masterclass in education, contrasting Meno's stagnant, power-seeking sophistry with his slave boy's humble, rapid learning during the famous geometry demonstration.Visit thegreatbookspodcast.com for our reading schedule.See our COLLECTION OF GUIDES on the great books.Check out our sister publication, THE ASCENT, for spiritual lessons.They explore aporia (perplexity) as a vital pedagogical tool requiring courage and humility, the theory of recollection as a rhetorical device rather than doctrine, and the distinction between stable knowledge (phronesis) and fleeting right opinion (doxa). Ultimately, virtue is teachable as knowledge, but demands active practice from the student—explaining why even great statesmen like Pericles failed to pass it to their sons. The dialogue emerges as a warning: don't be a Meno; embrace the discomfort of not-knowing to pursue truth.“Don't be a Meno.” - Dr. Wagner“Learning isn't just rote memorization… it's ordered toward nous – intellectual insight into reality.” - Dr. Wagner“Classical education is the best model of actually conforming the mind to reality." - Dcn. Harrison GarlickRead Plato's Meno to see education in action: a proud sophist stays stuck while a humble slave boy learns geometry in minutes, proving that real learning demands courage, humility, and active pursuit of truth. It's the perfect wake-up call—don't be a Meno.

From College Engagement to Radio Stardom: Ronald Reagan's Ascent to the Hollywood B-List. Max Boot discusses how Ronald Reagan's father, Jack, secured a job as an administrator of welfare for the New Deal in late 1933. Meanwhile, Ronald developed into a successful young football star at Eureka College, where his steady girlfriend was Margaret Cleaver, known as Mugs. They were deeply in love and engaged to be married, but after graduation they separated, and Margaret, following a trip to Europe, fell in love with an American diplomat and returned the engagement ring to a crushed Reagan. Margaret's father, the Reverend Cleaver, was highly influential, acting almost as a surrogate father to Dutch Reagan. Dutch Reagan possessed a magnificent, compelling voice for storytelling and, graduating from college in 1932, recognized that while movie studios were absent from the Midwest, radio stations were plentiful. He landed his first radio job in Davenport, Iowa, and quickly succeeded, transferring to a larger station in Des Moines, where he became a very successful sportscaster known throughout the Midwest as Dutch Reagan, the voice of the Chicago Cubs and the White Sox. In Hollywood, Reagan was recognized as a heroic figure with a consistently sunny disposition and initially started in B-pictures at Warner Brothers. Reagan's movie career generated good income, and he demonstrated responsibility by moving his parents out to Hollywood. He met actress Jane Wyman at the Warner Brothers commissary, and they were married in January 1940.
In this gripping episode of The Determined Society, host Shawn French sits down with Emily Harrington — world-renowned professional climber, mother, and IMAX documentary star of Girl Climber.Emily opens up about the physical and emotional peaks behind her record-breaking climbs, including her free ascent of El Capitan, balancing motherhood, and the deep human lessons that come with facing fear thousands of feet in the air.What makes Emily's story so powerful isn't just the scale of her climbs — it's the honesty behind them. She shares how fear still finds her on every wall, how she's learned to trust her gear, her partners, and herself, and how failure is not the enemy but the environment climbers live in.Together, she and Shawn explore the psychology of resilience, the beauty of imperfection, and the parallels between climbing and life — from battling self-doubt to finding meaning beyond the summit.The conversation also touches on her marriage to fellow climber and guide Adrian Ballinger, her late mentor Hilaree Nelson, and her deep love for Ecuador, where she and Adrian were married. Between discussions of altitude, family, and fear, Emily paints a portrait of determination that transcends sport.If you've ever faced something that scared you, doubted your own strength, or wondered what's left after achieving the impossible — this one's for you.Key Takeaways-Fear doesn't disappear — it evolves. Even pros feel it at the edge.-Failure isn't the opposite of success; it's the path to mastery.-Parenthood and adventure aren't mutually exclusive — both require endurance and grace.-The real summit isn't the wall, it's who you become climbing it.-Vulnerability is strength; perfection is a myth.-Gratitude and perspective are the antidotes to burnout.Connect with me :https://link.me/theshawnfrench?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaY2s9TipS1cPaEZZ9h692pnV-rlsO-lzvK6LSFGtkKZ53WvtCAYTKY7lmQ_aem_OY08g381oa759QqTr7iPGAEmily Harringtonhttps://www.instagram.com/emilyaharrington/

Dr. Lane Tipton speaks at the Reformed Forum Annual Theology Conference, held at Lakeland Church in Gurnee, Illinois on September 27, 2025. Dr. Tipton presents Jesus Christ as the "mountain ascending mediator" and the promised seed of the woman from Genesis 3:15. Dr. Tipton argues that God's plan for redemption is framed by the concept of a holy mountain dwelling, beginning with heaven itself and its earthly counterpart, the Garden of Eden. After Adam's fall and subsequent exile from the holy mountain, God announced the first promise of the gospel—that the seed of the woman would crush the serpent's head. This salvific ascent was foreshadowed throughout the Old Testament on key mountains (Ararat, Sinai, Moriah, and Zion), all pointing to the final ascent of Christ. Through his sacrifice, Christ successfully ascended to the heavenly mountain, providing covering for sin, overcoming the devil, and bringing his people to see God in perfected worship and everlasting beatitude.

In this week's message from our Ascent series, Pastor Nate leads us through Psalms 126 and 127, showing that we ascend through a healthy vision of God's will.In Psalm 126, we're reminded that when despair clouds our hearts, a clear vision gives strength for the pilgrimage. It teaches us to look back with gratitude at God's past restoration, to see the present with honesty about our captivity or struggles, and to face the future with faith in His promises.Psalm 127 then calls us to trust God's sovereignty in everything we do. “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.” Whether in work, family, or rest, only what's done in alignment with God's will endures. Solomon reminds us that our calling is not self-reliance, but surrendered obedience in which we pray as Jesus taught his disciples: “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done.”This message encourages every pilgrim on the journey: remember God's faithfulness, face your current reality with humility, and walk forward in faith—knowing that every step, every seed sown, and every act of obedience in the Lord is never in vain.“The joy of the Lord is your strength.” — Nehemiah 8:10
This week, we continue in Psalm 134, a passage dedicated to those who have felt unseen or forgotten. As the final Song of Ascent, it reminds us that God sees and values those who serve Him in quiet, hidden moments, just as the priests and Levites kept watch in the temple through the night. We are encouraged that our faithful service matters to God, and He is always deserving of our praise.

Who doesn't love a roadmap or a step-by-step blueprint to get from Point A to Point B?! Sometimes, as we are just going about our daily lives, we don't realize that we are, in fact, following a path without even realizing it. As I've been helping leaders build out intentional journeys in growth over the last few years, I've realized a handful of key steps that come together to create a powerful roadmap to leadership success. When your path to leadership success is intentional rather than accidental, you position yourself for unshakable long-term success and legacy building. I am in the process of more publicly sharing the leadership pathway I've been guiding my coaching clients on. In this episode, I'm finally sharing my Shameless Leadership Ascent, a four-part roadmap to your leadership success. After seeing too many leaders with inadequate leadership development opportunities, I realized how much is being left on the table when leaders aren't given specific growth opportunities. I see leaders with so much untapped potential on the constant verge of burnout because they haven't built a proper foundation from which to lead. In my Shameless Leadership Ascent, I break down the four stages every leader needs to move through to build a leadership legacy that lives long beyond your current role: Awaken (how you see yourself), Amplify (how you share yourself), Advocate (how you bring others with you), and Advise (how you grow others). Listen in as I walk you through each stage so you can see exactly how to build your leadership legacy in a clear and conscientious way. When leaders have a foundation of high self-awareness, strong emotional intelligence, and a deep understanding of their opportunity to influence others in a positive way, they build high retention cultures that are wildly innovative, engaged, and energized. In contrast, when leaders ascend too fast without doing the foundational work, they lead from their ego instead of wisdom - gatekeeping, relying on authority over trusting relationships, hoarding opportunities instead of opening doors, and perpetuating the toxic work environments. These leaders create high turnover, high burnout cultures that are devoid of trust, motivation, and engagement. While these cultures are often masked as “high-performance”, they are commonly rife with fear and dissatisfaction to the point that many employees are constantly planning their exit strategies. Whether you're doing your own leadership development work or you're responsible for building leadership capacity in your organization, the Shameless Leadership Ascent is your roadmap to sustainable, transformative leadership.
