(Today's key verse is from 1 Timothy, not 1 Peter.) 1 Timothy 1:16   But I received mercy for this reason, so that in me, the worst of them, Christ Jesus might demonstrate his extraordinary patience as an example to those who would believe in him for eternal life.

Today Pastor Jeff shares how God's incredible patience with us teaches us to show patience, grace, and love to others. 2 Peter 3:9  The Lord does not delay his promise, as some understand delay, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish but all to come to repentance.

U2 have released a joyful new cover of the Pogues' “Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah”—or, as we are now calling it, The Yays—and the Garden Tarts have thoughts.In this episode, Hillary and Jenny talk about U2's light, playful take on the Shane MacGowan song for the upcoming 20th Century Paddy: The Songs of Shane MacGowan tribute album. They discuss the connection to producer Steve Lillywhite, why the cover's childlike keyboard sound works for them, and why not every U2 cover needs to be heavy or “important.”They also take a friendly but firm detour into the importance of checking sources before sharing U2 rumors, tour dates, album art, and supposed announcements. If it is not coming from U2 directly—or from a dependable source clearly labeling speculation as speculation—proceed with caution.At intermission, listeners share moving, joyful, nostalgic, and occasionally spicy feelings about last week's Cigar Box selection: “Beautiful Day.” From weddings, first homes, fatherhood, recovery, and graduation to questions about singles, setlists, and “Vertigo,” this conversation proves once again that U2 songs become part of people's life stories.Then Hillary reports back from a weekend with U2topia and Coldplay tribute act Back to the Start. There were thoughtful setlists, “Do You Hear Me Coming, Lord?” in “One,” “Shine Like Stars” woven into “With or Without You,” a brilliant Back to the Future-inspired opening, and a joint finale of David Bowie's “Heroes.”And finally: the Cigar Box has spoken. Next week's song is “Zoo Station.”In this episodeU2's cover of the Pogues' “Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah”The upcoming Shane MacGowan tribute album, 20th Century Paddy: The Songs of Shane MacGowanWhy the Garden Tarts find U2's version “adorable,” light, and funSteve Lillywhite's connection to the Pogues' original recordingU2 covers we love, covers we do not, and why that is okayHow to separate confirmed U2 news from rumors and misinformationListener memories and reactions to “Beautiful Day”Why All That You Can't Leave Behind remains emotionally tied to the era around September 11 for many fansA lively “Beautiful Day” versus “Vertigo” discussionJenny's U2topia concert recapColdplay tribute band Back to the Start and their Back to the Future entranceA shared performance of David Bowie's “Heroes”The next Cigar Box pick: “Zoo Station”Listener voicesThank you to everyone who shared a “Beautiful Day” memory or opinion.Your stories—from weddings and parenthood to recovery, new homes, and hard-won graduation days—made this week's conversation especially meaningful.Links and calls to actionFollow the Garden Tarts on social media: @the_gardentartsVisit: thegardentarts.comSubscribe to the Garden Tarts YouTube channelSign up for the newsletterSupport the podcast on Patreon or Buy Me a CoffeeShare this episode with your U2 friendsLeave a five-star review on Apple PodcastsKissing Lips and Breaking Hearts, a U2 podcast with the Garden Tarts, is created, produced, and edited by the Garden Tarts.

Side A brings the U2 news roundup, including reports of Bono's involvement in the upcoming Free Nelson Mandela documentary, a Windmill Lane book in the works, U2's participation in a Shane MacGowan tribute project, and Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno's guest-producer roles on the next U2 album.Then it's show-and-tell time: a promo copy of War, a new U2.com hoodie, record-store dreams, and the challenge of finding Rattle and Hum on vinyl “organically.”On Side B, the random-song cigar box delivers “God Part II.” We dig into why this compact, punchy, contradictory track may be less a Rattle and Hum outlier than an early signpost toward Achtung Baby. Plus, we share listener thoughts, from “brilliant song” to the gloriously concise “Belter,” and pick next week's song: “Beautiful Day.”In this episodeU2 news: tribute projects, producers, documentaries, Windmill Lane, and Bono's message for VenezuelaWhy Howie B., Jacknife Lee, Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno all belong in the same conversationA gold-stamped promotional pressing of WarWhy “God Part II” feels like a bridge to Achtung BabyListener takes on one of Rattle and Hum's most overlooked tracksNext week's cigar-box selection: “Beautiful Day”Follow the Garden Tarts on social media at @the_gardentarts, subscribe to the newsletter at thegardentarts.com, and support the show through Patreon or Buy Me a Coffee.

Today Pastor Jeff wraps up our week on love by reminding us that everything begins with God's perfect love, which we see in His creation, His care for us, and His gift of Jesus. Romans 5:8 But  God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 

Today Pastor Jeff shares how loving God means joyfully obeying Him, trusting that His ways are always best for us. Matthew 22:37-38  Jesus replied, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and most important command.

This week on the Deadpod we head back to the Family Dog at the Great Highway in San Francisco for a superb show from August 3, 1969. This is the kind of set that reminds us just how quickly the Grateful Dead were evolving in that remarkable year, moving from the raw energy of their early material into the open-ended exploration that would define so much of what followed. The set opens with a fine run of songs including "Hard To Handle," "Beat It On Down The Line," "Hi-Heel Sneakers," "High Time," and "Mama Tried." From there the show opens up beautifully with a long and searching "Dark Star," followed by the powerful sequence of "Alligator," "Drums," "The Other One," and "Caution (Do Not Stop On Tracks)," before closing with "And We Bid You Goodnight." There are two guest artists - an unknown sax player and David LaFlame from 'It's A Beautiful Day', and they add a rich extra dimension to the sound that I really dig.  There's a lot to enjoy here: the contrast between the concise song-based first half and the expanded improvisational stretch that follows, the relaxed confidence of the band, and the sense that they are really finding their collective voice in real time. It's a strong late-summer 1969 performance and a great listen for anyone who loves this transitional era of the Dead.
