Series: RootedWeek 2 Title: Who is God?Scripture: Exodus 34:6–7, Acts 17:22–28Big Idea: God reveals Himself as a relational God—not distant or abstract, but One who invites us to know Him personally through His Word, His creation, His image in us, and ultimately through Jesus Christ.I. The Most Important QuestionA.W. Tozer: “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.”We don't invent God; He reveals Himself.The starting point for being rooted is answering: Who is God?II. God Reveals Himself (Exodus 34)Moses asks: “Show me your glory.” God responds with His name and character.The most repeated description of God in Scripture: compassionate, gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, just.These attributes live in tension, not contradiction.Takeaway: God is not who we imagine Him to be—He is who He declares Himself to be.III. God is Near (Acts 17)Paul in Athens: an altar “to an unknown god.”Our culture is just as religious, creating images of God in our own likeness—ideology, politics, sexuality.Paul declares: the true God is Creator, Sustainer, Lord of history.“In Him we live and move and have our being.”God is not distant—He is near and relational.IV. Response / ApplicationEncounter Him: God is a presence to know, not just a subject to study.Seek Him: Don't settle for secondhand opinions of God—pursue Him in His Word.Worship Him: God is transcendent and immanent.Trust Him: His compassion and justice meet at the cross—Jesus is the ultimate revelation of God (Hebrews 1:1–3).Final Challenge: Rooted is not about abstract knowledge but about a relational God who longs to be known—by Israel, the church, every tribe and nation, and you today.

Fixing Greece's declining population is now the Government's top priority, so how should it solve the crisis? Is the country at risk of being ruined by tourism?

Nashville has taken on  many titles — Music City, Athens of the South, Smashville and Cashville, but tech bros have coined a new name, “Bitcoin City,” in honor of the thriving crypto community that has formed.  The city is home to Bitcoin Magazine, the world's largest web3 media outlet and Bitcoin Park, a globally renowned grassroots crypto community. Last year, Nashville even hosted Bitcoin Conference, the largest crypto conference in the world.  In this episode of Climbing the Charts, Angie Lawless and Brandon Miller sit down with the Founder of Bitcoin Park, Rod Roudi, to explore just how Nashville became “Bitcoin City.”

The aftermath of the Battle of Mantinea marks a critical turning point in the Peloponnesian War, as Sparta reasserts its dominance while Athens grapples with the moral contradictions of empire.With their decisive victory at Mantinea, the Spartans restore their reputation and secure their position as the preeminent land power in Greece. This revival allows them to reinstall oligarchic governments throughout the Peloponnese, temporarily bringing even democratic Argos under their influence. But when Sparta's attention shifts during a religious festival, Argos seizes the opportunity to overthrow its imposed oligarchy and restore democracy, demonstrating the fragility of forced political arrangements in the Greek world.Meanwhile, Athens finds itself paralyzed by competing political visions. Nicias advocates for moderation and recovery of territories in the north, while Alcibiades pushes for aggressive action against Sparta. This stalemate culminates in the final use of ostracism in Athenian history—a procedure that backfires spectacularly when both factions unite to exile the minor politician Hyperbolus instead of resolving their leadership struggle.The conquest of Melos in 416 BCE stands as perhaps the most morally complex episode of the war. When this small, neutral island refuses to submit to Athenian demands, negotiations produce what Thucydides immortalizes as the Melian Dialogue—a stark confrontation between power politics and ethical principles that continues to influence political thought today. "The strong do what they can, the weak suffer what they must" becomes Athens' uncompromising position as they reject appeals to justice, fairness, and divine intervention.The eventual fall of Melos and the brutal execution of its male citizens reveals the darker face of Athenian imperialism. What began as a defensive alliance against Persia has transformed into an empire maintained through fear rather than leadership. This episode of apparent success feeds a dangerous overconfidence in Athens that will soon lead them toward their greatest gamble and ultimate disaster—the Sicilian Expedition.Subscribe now to follow this epic journey through ancient Greek history and discover how the tensions between power, justice, and hubris continue to resonate in our world today.

What does it mean to be faithful when your plans fall apart? Eleven years ago, Madison Church launched with meticulously researched strategies, countless prayers, and 200 empty chairs. Only 20 people showed up that first Sunday—half of them family members visiting from out of town. The humiliation was crushing, but looking back now reveals how God was writing a better story than anyone could have imagined.This anniversary reflection draws powerful parallels to Paul's experience in Athens, where he confronted a city so filled with idols that historians noted it was "easier to find a god than a person." While we don't have marble statues to Zeus or Athena in Madison, our modern idols are perhaps more dangerous because they're less visible. We worship comfort through convenience, achievement through success, busyness through hustle culture, and find our identity in politics and consumerism.The most concerning pattern emerges when we don't reject God for these idols but recruit God to serve them alongside us. We pray, but only so our lives become more comfortable. We worship, but only so God blesses our hustle. We've reduced the living God to a lowercase assistant for our agenda rather than the center of everything.Through examining the idols of security, worth, and control, we discover how these false gods promise peace but deliver anxiety, promise love but produce exhaustion, and promise order but result in frustration. The invitation stands today as it did for the early Christians who were radically called to forsake all other gods: Will we turn from our idols to serve the living God?The next chapter of Madison Church won't be built on comfort, busyness, politics, or spiritual highs, but on becoming a community where faith is not shallow but deeply rooted. What felt like failure then has become a testimony of God's faithfulness now—a story of changed lives, deep friendships, answered prayers, and hope rising in unexpected places.

Cost of Glory Greece Retreat: https://costofglory.com/retreatPart 3 of 3 of Caesar's Civil War series. From triumph to near-disaster. Caesar's Egyptian entanglement transforms him from a glorious victor to a desperate challenger.

While Rome descended into chaos under Mark Antony's drunken rule, Caesar fought for his life against war elephants and Numidian cavalry, transformed by his liaison with the living goddess Cleopatra. The man who emerged from Egypt was no longer merely a Roman general, he had consorted with divinity and fathered the son of a pharaoh. As Cicero wrote in frantic letters to Atticus: "Where am I to look for solace?" The final campaign that would cement Caesar's supremacy began with the most dangerous gamble of his career.Works Cited: (Affiliate links - support the show!)Gareth Sampson, The Battle of Pharsalus Matthias Gelzer, Caesar: Politician and Statesman James Froude, Caesar: A Sketch, Raaflaub (ed.)

Dr. Don and Professor Ben talk about the risks of standing in a hotel bathroom in Athens Greece after a shower head explodes. Fedica text: Dr. Don - not risky

In 480 BC, following the fall of Thermopylae, the Greek fleet withdrew from Artemisium and regrouped at Salamis. At the same time, Xerxes advanced through Boeotia virtually unopposed, while Athens prepared for evacuation under the so-called Decree of Themistocles. Ancient sources speak of a Persian attempt to plunder Delphi, but modern scholarship generally regards this as later propaganda intended to protect the sanctuary's reputation.At Salamis, the Greek alliance faced difficult choices. Many Peloponnesian commanders favored retreat to the Isthmus, but Themistocles argued successfully for battle in the straits. His strategy, coupled with a ruse that compelled Xerxes to commit his fleet, brought the Persians into waters where their numbers offered little advantage. Among the notable figures at Salamis was Artemisia of Halicarnassus, whose role Herodotus highlights with particular interest.The Battle of Salamis was a turning point in the Greco-Persian Wars. Though the conflict was far from over, the outcome would decide the course of the war going forward.*Contents:*00:00 After Thermopylae and Artemisium00:45 Persians Passing through Delphi03:55 The Themistocles Decree12:05 Preparing for the Persians14:09 Catalog of Ships18:45 Evacuating Athens21:51 The Sack of Athens27:14 Debating with Themistocles 37:20 The Persians Arrive at Salamis50:26 The Battle of Salamis01:07:40 Aftermath of Salamis01:09:58 Thank You and PatronsSupport the show

The Parthenon Sculptures, also known as the Elgin Marbles, are some of the most controversial museum objects in the world. In the early 19th century the Scottish aristocrat Thomas Bruce, the seventh Earl of Elgin, used his position as Ambassador Extraordinary to the Ottoman Empire to gain access to Athens' historic acropolis and remove priceless works of ancient art from the Parthenon. Since that time both the legality and the morality of the acquisition has been the source of controversy. Unfortunately, the debate around the Parthenon sculptures has been clouded by many historical myths and misconceptions. Should the marbles remain in the British Museum, or should they be returned to Athens? Tune-in and find out how a gift of ammunition, an "Old Turk", and lies to Parliament all play a role in the story.Join Sebastian in Greece in 2026!

Broadcast from Île de Ré, we dive into France's mounting fiscal mess and political paralysis. With Macron a lame-duck, bond markets charging Paris more than Athens, and a nationwide strike looming, we ask: could Europe's cornerstone become its weakest link? We unpack France's towering state-and-semi-state debts, why Japan can print and Paris can't, the ECB's “will they/won't they” backstop if Le Pen takes power, and how a sovereignist turn could trigger a rewrite of France's constitution, goodbye Fifth Republic, hello Sixth. Along the way: Anglo-Saxon doom-mongering, De Gaulle's Jupiterian legacy, contagion math, and why life in “paradise” can still feel like purgatory. Big stakes, bigger history, and a very French cliff-hanger. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Laura Hawkins is the founder of Gamemasters Escape Solutions, a creator and operator of high-performing escape rooms for hotels and resorts. After a successful career making viral television advertising, she discovered escape rooms on a European trip. She turned a passion project into a 14-room operation and a turnkey hotel amenity business (including installs at Atlantis, The Bahamas). She joins us to talk revenue, resorts, and escape room design. • Budget-season hot take: maximize social first and add hyper-targeted print ads if you have the cash. • From receptionist to rainmaker: Laura hustled her way off the front desk and into award-winning ads. • “Just Slow Down”: the graphic traffic-safety campaign that made her the Quentin TarantinA of Winnipeg. • Vacation plot twist: one so-so Dublin escape room → Athens upgrade → Paris hook → new career. • Resorts love it: low staff, durable props, and constant revenue. • Corporate catnip: team-building, communication, respectful-collaboration—plus a true differentiator vs. the hotel next door. • Design recipe: theme first → story → tactile puzzles (knobs, secret doors, scents)… and yes, limes. • Player pro tip: communicate, inventory the space, and OPEN. THE. DRAWERS. Our Top Three Takeaways: 1. Escape Rooms Are a High-ROI Amenity for Hotels and Resorts Laura emphasized that escape rooms offer hotels a unique way to generate revenue while differentiating from competitors. Unlike spas or waterparks, escape rooms appeal to a wider demographic—from families with young kids to teenagers, grandparents, wedding parties, and corporate groups. They're low-labor, durable, and cost far less to install and maintain, while still driving constant guest traffic and ancillary spending at restaurants and bars. 2. Immersive Entertainment Strengthens Guest Connection For Laura, the heart of escape rooms is shared experience. Guests disconnect from screens, collaborate face-to-face, and leave with stories they'll continue discussing long after the game. This creates a sense of joy and connection that builds loyalty and word-of-mouth—two of the strongest assets for hotels seeking repeat visits and community engagement. 3. Differentiation Requires Courage and Creativity Laura challenged hotels to show more boldness in shaping guest experiences. Too many properties look the same, leaving price as the only deciding factor. By embracing immersive, playful, and customizable amenities—like themed escape rooms or even immersive dinner theater—hotels can stand out, create memorable stays, and deliver new revenue streams.

What do we do when we are overcome with the brokenness in the world around us? Often, Christians respond in one of two ways: we separate or we assimilate. We remove ourselves from the culture so that we are not affected by the brokenness; or we assimilate so that we are not bothered by it. Both of these responses prevent us from being able to have any meaningful impact on the world around us. Instead, Jesus offers a third way: We call this contextualization.In Acts 17, Paul is overwhelmed by the brokenness that he sees in the city of Athens. But instead of isolating or conforming, he contextually engages the culture. As a result, the people of Athens hear the message of Jesus in their own language and are compelled to consider if Jesus is truly God and King of the world.

This week, Pastor Roger unpacks the apostle Paul's reasoning with the Greeks in Athens as he reveals their "unknown god" as the only true God who is nearer than you think. What can we learn from Paul's evangelistic method for reaching people who have no context of the Word of God? Truth brings freedom and Jesus is the anchor of truth. -Featuring Roger Hirth

Hello Freedom Listeners! This episode comes down to one simple question: What do you put your faith and trust in?It is inspired by our family trip to the Acropolis in Athens this summer. In Acts 17, the Apostle Paul speaks to the philosophers of his time—around 46 to 50 A.D. He notices that the people of Athens are very spiritual and even worship “unknown gods.” In Paul's address he points them to the real God, the one true source of all life.This episode, titled “What Sits on the Throne of Your Heart,” looks at this powerful and profound passage. An ambitious one for me to take on, but excited to share it with you.

Pastor Dan preached from Acts 17:16–34, emphasizing that Jesus Christ is the only true image of God, in contrast to the man-made idols worshiped in Athens. He showed that God alone is sovereign—He created the world, determines our times and boundaries, commands repentance, and has proven His authority by raising Jesus from the dead. Pastor Daniel applied this truth personally, reminding us that God is sovereign in salvation (Ephesians 1:3–11) and in every detail of our daily lives (James 4:13–15). The call was clear: to worship the living God, repent of idolatry, and trust His sovereign will over life and eternity .#GodIsSovereign #Acts17 #JesusIsLord #TrueWorship #RepentAndBelieve #ResurrectionPower #ChristAlone #BiblicalPreaching

Does studying classical philosophy have any relevance for missions today? In this episode, Alex and Scott talk with Dr. David Talcott, a philosopher and faculty member at New Saint Andrew's College, to discuss the intersection of philosophy, culture, and missions. They ask the famous question “What hath Athens to do with Jerusalem?”—whether philosophy and Scripture can meaningfully interact. Drawing from Acts 17, they explore how Paul's intellectual preparation and knowledge of Greek culture allowed him to engage with Stoic and Epicurean philosophers, modeling how missionaries today should understand and address the intellectual frameworks of their host cultures. The discussion broadens into how classical philosophy, particularly Plato and Aristotle, still speaks into modern challenges such as relativism, skepticism, and materialism. Dr. Talcott emphasizes that philosophy provides categories and arguments that can prepare hearts and minds for the gospel, acting as a kind of “preparatory grace.” Key Topics Covered: The question: “What hath Athens to do with Jerusalem?”—philosophy and theology in harmony Acts 17 as a model for missionary engagement with culture and thought Relevance of classical philosophy for confronting modern ideologies (materialism, relativism, skepticism) The role of “common grace” in pagan philosophies and cultures The movement to retrieve classical theology and its value for missions today Being a godly husband and father isn't about one big heroic act, it's about showing up every day. Men need a simple, practical plan to stay faithful in the daily grind. How To Lead Your Family is a no-nonsense guide, from author Joel Beeke, that gives the biblical foundation, Christ-centered encouragement, practical advice for men to purse the high standards that God calls them too.

In Acts 18, we see the Apostle Paul arrive in Corinth, partner with Priscilla and Aquila, and boldly proclaim the gospel despite opposition. God speaks to Paul in a vision, reminding him: “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking, for I am with you.”This chapter reminds us that God strengthens His people in times of weakness, raises up faithful partners in ministry, and advances the gospel even in difficult places.Main scripture: Acts 18:1-4, 7-8; Ephesians 4:11-16; 1 Peter 2:9; 1 Corinthians 12:12; 2 Corinthians 5:18-20; Psalm 23

The Mountaineers fall in Athens 17-10. The TDC Show presented by The Masters Law Firm breaks down the good, the bad, and the UGLY.

This is only the second edition of the Sunday Scary's pod. After what was a messy win in Athens we recap a pretty wild weekend in only the second week of this college football season. Austin Peay wasn't quite the easy victory we were hoping for! So we get into the who what and why reacts and dig into what were looking forward to next from our Dawgs.

Athens had Zeus, Athena, and Apollo. We've got money, sports, politics, and little glowing screens in our pockets. Same idols. New packaging. The problem? We don't even notice them anymore. Paul was disgusted. We're entertained.

In this week's sermon from the series "To Be Continued," we explore Acts 18, where Paul transitions from Athens to the vibrant city of Corinth. Despite facing opposition and personal struggles, Paul finds strength through faithful partners like Aquila and Priscilla, the assurance of God's presence, and a teachable heart. Discover how these elements helped Paul persevere in his mission and how they can empower us to keep going and growing in our faith journey. Join us as we delve into the importance of community, trust in God, and openness to growth in our walk with Christ.

Hello Freedom Listeners! This episode comes down to one simple question: What do you put your faith and trust in?It's inspired by our family trip to the Acropolis in Athens this summer. In Acts 17, the Apostle Paul speaks to the philosophers of his time—around 46 to 50 A.D. He notices that the people of Athens are very spiritual and even worship “unknown gods.” In Paul's address he points them to the real God, the one true source of all life.This episode, titled “What Sits on the Throne of Your Heart,” looks at this powerful and profound passage. An ambitious one for me to take on, but excited to share it with you.

The study of ancient Greece has been central to Western conceptions of history since the Renaissance. The Muse of History: The Ancient Greeks from the Enlightenment to the Present (Harvard UP, 2024) traces the shifting patterns of this preoccupation in the last three centuries, in which successive generations have reinterpreted the Greeks in the light of their contemporary worlds. Thus, in the eighteenth century, the conflict between Athens and Sparta became a touchstone in the development of republicanism, and in the nineteenth, Athens came to represent the democratic ideal. Amid the ideological conflicts of the twentieth century, the Greeks were imagined in an age of suffering, inspiring defenses against nationalism, Nazism, communism, and capitalism. Oswyn Murray draws powerful conclusions from this historiography, using the ever-changing narrative of ancient Greece to illuminate grand theories of human society. Analyzing the influence of historians and philosophers including Hegel, Burckhardt, Nietzsche, and Braudel, Murray also considers how coming generations might perceive the Greeks. Along the way, The Muse of History offers rare behind-the-scenes glimpses of figures who shaped the study of ancient Greece, some devotedly cited to this day and others forgotten. We sit in on a class with Arnaldo Momigliano; meet Moses Finley after his arrival in England; eavesdrop on Paul Veyne, Jean-Pierre Vernant, and Pierre Vidal-Naquet; and rediscover Michel Foucault. A thrilling work that rewrites established scholarly traditions and locates important ideas in unexpected places, The Muse of History reminds us that the meaning of the past is always made in and for the present.

A Greek, Marxist terrorist group called 17 November claimed responsibility for his death, but that was just the beginning. Former senior operations officer Ralph Mariani remembers that time and carries on Welch's memory. Prefer to watch your podcasts?
