Fuji: A Mountain in the Making (Princeton UP, 2025) is A panoramic biography of Japan's iconic mountain from the Ice Age to the present Mount Fuji is everywhere recognized as a wonder of nature and enduring symbol of Japan. Yet behind the picture-postcard image is a history filled with conflict and upheaval. Violent eruptions across the centuries wrought havoc and instilled fear. Long an object of worship, Fuji has been inhabited by deities that changed radically over time. It has been both a totem of national unity and a flashpoint for economic and political disputes. And while its soaring majesty has inspired countless works of literature and art, the foot of the mountain is home to military training grounds and polluting industries. Tracing the history of Fuji from its geological origins in the remote past to its recent inscription as a World Heritage Site, Andrew Bernstein explores these and other contradictions in the story of the mountain, inviting us to reflect on the relationships we share with the nonhuman world and one another. Beautifully illustrated, Fuji presents a rich portrait of one of the world's most celebrated sites, revealing a mountain forever in the making and offering a meditation on the ability of landscape both to challenge and inspire.

Prayer is one of the primary ways God speaks to His people, and the Christmas story reveals this beautifully. Through angels, the Holy Spirit, dreams, and moments of divine confirmation, God shows us how prayer creates space for Him to guide, comfort, and lead. In this episode, we explore what the birth of Jesus teaches us about prayer—and how those same practices help us hear God more clearly today.

And his mercy is there for those who fear him     from generation to generation.    from generation to generation. We are blessed   He has shown great strength with his arm;     he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts; he has brought down the mighty from their thrones     and exalted the lowly of heart  and exalted the lowly of heart   He has filled the hungry with good things,     and the rich he has sent away empty. He has helped his servant Israel,     in remembrance of his great mercy, as he spoke to our fathers,     to Abraham and to his offspring forever."   My soul magnifies the Lord,     and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,   in remembrance of his great mercy,   in remembrance of his great mercy,

Today on Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, we are discussing Fitt 1 of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight with Dcn. Garlick, Dr. Justin Jackson of Hillsdale College, Chivalry Guild, and Banished Kent.Check out thegreatbookspodcast.com for our reading schedule.Check out our WRITTEN GUIDE to Sir Gawain and the Greek Knight (posted soon!).Episode SummaryThe panel dives into the 14th-century Middle English masterpiece Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, exploring its mysterious single-manuscript survival, alliterative brilliance, and rich layers of meaning in Fit 1. From the Troy-to-Britain prologue to the shocking arrival of the Green Knight and the beheading game, the discussion uncovers dualities, temptations, and the clash between chivalric courtesy and Christian virtue that make this Christmas tale profoundly relevant.Why Sir Gawain and the Green Knight Is Worth ReadingThis poem stands as one of the greatest works of English literature because it masterfully blends adventure, humor, moral depth, and spiritual insight. As Dr. Jackson notes, it survived by miracle in a single tiny manuscript, yet offers the “greatest chivalric romance” alongside exquisite theological literacy. It probes timeless questions—how do pride, fear, courtesy, and faith collide in a fallen world?—without easy answers, forcing readers to wrestle with their own choices. Tolkien saw it as a meditation on seductive worldly culture versus Christian ethos; the guests highlight its realistic portrayal of human imperfection amid high ideals. Beautifully crafted (alliteration, bob-and-wheel, vivid imagery), often funny, and profoundly Christian, it humanizes the heroic while elevating humility and grace—perfect for Christmas reflection on mortality, temptation, and redemption.Key Discussion PointsManuscript & Poet: A unique survival with Pearl, Cleanness, and Patience; anonymous poet of astounding skill in alliterative revival.Historical Frame: Begins with Troy's fall and Aeneas (traitor in medieval legend) leading to Brutus and Britain—history as “bliss and blunder.”Arthur's Court: Young, vital Arthur is admirable yet “somewhat childish,” craving marvels or “life for life” combat.Guinevere's Gray Eyes: Symbol of wisdom/clarity, yet ambiguous; benchmark of beauty later challenged.Green Knight's Duality: Terrifying green giant vs. courtly noble—tempting fear/violence vs. courtesy/mercy.The Game: Explicitly “stroke for stroke,” not beheading; court's violent interpretation reveals failures.Tolkien's Lens: Tension between seductive chivalric/courtly culture and higher Christian virtue.Gawain's Intervention: Praised as humble, loyal self-sacrifice to shield Arthur.Notable QuotesDr. Jackson: “The poem is giving you two readings throughout, and then it wants to see which one are you going to appropriate.”Deacon Garlick: “This text captures my imagination… knowledge is an antecedent to love.”George (via Tolkien): “Gawain… as a matter of duty and humility and self-sacrifice.”Resources & RecommendationsTolkien's translation and scholarly editionJames Winny's facing-page translationDr. Jackson's Hillsdale online course lecture (watch after finishing the poem to avoid spoilers)Next episode: Fits 2–3 with Dr. Tiffany Schubert.

Happy Feast of the Immaculate Conception! In this powerful teaching homily, Father Jonathan walks us through the mystery behind the words the angel Gabriel spoke to Mary: “Hail, full of grace.” (Luke 1:28)    This phrase appears only once in the entire Bible — and it reveals who Mary is from the very moment of her conception: a dwelling worthy of Christ, overflowing with grace, and redeemed by the future sacrifice of Jesus Himself.    Father explains: • Why Mary had to be free from sin • How Jesus' death on the cross was applied to Mary 47 years before it happened • Why the Mass is the same saving sacrifice of Calvary • How prevenient grace works • How the Immaculate Conception is completely connected to the Cross • Why there is no Jesus without Mary — and no Mary without the Cross    This homily beautifully reveals the depth of our Catholic faith — a faith where God acts inside and outside of time, applying His saving grace across centuries for the salvation of all.   Father also shares a touching reminder: Four years ago on this feast, the names of our parishioners were placed inside a locket around Our Lady's neck — consecrating our entire parish to her Immaculate Heart.    May she continue to intercede for us, guide us, and lead us closer to her Son.   #ImmaculateConception #CatholicTeaching #Mary #FullOfGrace #CatholicHomily #FrJonathan 

Terrific conversation with screenwriter/actress Bella Martinez, chatting about her multiple award winning film “Once More, Like Rain Man”. Beautifully directed by Sue Ann Pien, and also starring Matt Jones & Joe Mantegna. Synopsis: ‘It's up to you to make a future that has you in it…' We follow Zoe (Martinez) and her dad, Gerry (Jones) in a ‘day in the life' of an autistic actress running the gambit of stereotypes she has to deal with - and her dad's battle in supporting her forging that path for herself - in a funny, frustrating, painful and sometimes triumphantly sarcastic kind of way. https://www.instagram.com/omlrmovie http://www.omlrmovie.com/ —— Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod

Winter is arriving in the UK, so while Saul and Lucy hunker down, don layers and fire up the kettle more frequently than usual, what do their minds turn to in the garden? This is the perfect season for clearance of 2025 growth, for establishing new designs and for de-cluttering stores and greenhouses. Any hours that you can put into the garden now, will reward you hugely come spring and summer, when the jobs mount up. Quick - more tea and biscuits!Podcast listeners have turned Lucy's head from the garden this week, as talk of her favourite biscuit reach a peak. But, she's regained her focus by making Christmas wreaths and playing with her new toy: the Scheppach RS400 compost sieve. Saul, meanwhile has been taking a spin in the Stonelands' 4x4, to source a Christmas tree for the family.

Traditional Worship | Bishop Bob Hayes |  The Gospel of John is without a doubt one of the most fascinating books in the Bible. Often called the “spiritual gospel,” this unique and powerful testimony provides us with an up close and personal perspective of Jesus like no other book ever written. From the prologue to the epilogue, the main message of John's Gospel is that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and we can have eternal life by believing in Him. Beautifully crafted, the book has an abundance of signs, symbols and miracle stories. In the coming weeks we will journey through this amazing testament, and we invite you to come and journey with us as Jesus' identity is made known to the people of His time and to us today through its timeless message. We are delighted that you have chosen to worship with us, and we pray your spirit will be fed.

James Patterson joins the show to talk about Disrupt Everything—and Win: Take Control of Your Future, his new playbook for turning constant disruption into something useful rather than paralyzing. He explains how he thinks about "positive" versus "negative" disruptors, wrestles with whether the gospel of disruption feeds our narcissism, and defends his literacy work and banned YA novels in places like Florida. Mike then presents to him evidence that one of the book's inspirational case studies isn't quite so inspirational; Patterson reacts to that information in real time. Plus: the episode opens and closes on the Trump administration's terror lists—from the maybe-imaginary Venezuelan "Cartel de los Soles" to Italy's Informal Anarchist Federation and Greece's archery-obsessed "Conspiracy of Cells of Fire".

Send us a textSome days faith feels like a bruise you keep bumping, and other days it feels like a tender place where God speaks clearer than ever. We sat down to talk about suffering without the shortcuts—how pain can ripen the fruit of the Spirit faster than comfort ever will, and how to guard your heart from the kind of bad theology that turns wounds into lifelong bitterness.We trace a path through Job's story and our own: stacked losses, hospital hallways, numb mornings, and the quiet practice of declaring “God, you are good” before the day begins. You'll hear how borrowing someone else's faith can carry you for a while, why John 10:10 draws a clean line between the thief and the Giver of life, and how a “beautiful bruise” can make you tender to the Holy Spirit instead of easily offended by everyone else. We also confront the shame that follows self‑inflicted pain and talk about the wild mercy of a God who can redeem not only what the enemy breaks, but what our choices break too.If you've been asking where God is in the winter season, this conversation offers language, scripture, and simple practices to keep you anchored until the cloud lifts. Not every question gets answered on this side of heaven, but presence, formation, and unexpected grace are real. Listen for hope, for honest stories, and for a theology sturdy enough to stand in a storm.

From deep Euros to dicey duels and dystopian roleplay, it's a feast of cardboard, neon and noodles. Hot from our painting challenge, we start with dark rituals and wicked words of Malediction in this spell-slinging game of grimdark miniature combat. Then it's onto Wroth, the latest offering from Chip Theory games; a dice pool area control game that full of neon colours. Things calm down (sort of) with the charming card game Canal Houses, all about building along the waterways of Amsterdam. Beautifully thematic, deeply puzzly, and wetter than a typical UK summer. Next up, we turn the dials and stoke the engines in Steam Power, a game that puts logistics and efficiency at the heart of its design—perfect for anyone who loves their cubes neatly aligned. But we can't help feel we've played it before. And in The White Castle Duel, Two players enter the castle, one player leaves (hopefully with honour intact). We test the head-to-head version of The White Castle and see if it captures the elegance and crunch of the original. Finally, we step into the neon rain for the Blade Runner RPG withe the second case file Fiery Angels, diving into a world of mystery, moral choices, and melancholy monologues.

Often called the “spiritual gospel,” this unique and powerful testimony provides us with an up close and personal perspective of Jesus like no other book ever written. From the prologue to the epilogue, the main message of John's Gospel is that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and we can have eternal life by believing in Him. Beautifully crafted, the book has an abundance of signs, symbols and miracle stories. In the coming weeks we will journey through this amazing testament, and we invite you to come and journey with us as Jesus' identity is made known to the people of His time and to us today through its timeless message. We are delighted that you have chosen to worship with us, and we pray your spirit will be fed.
