This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Anthony back on the podcast to discuss the 1985 horror movie Cat's Eye.  In this Stephen King penned anthology film, a cat crosses paths with a bunch of mobsters in NYC and Atlantic City, and a troll (?) in North Carolina.  One of these things is not like the other.  Broken up into 3 stories, we discuss how awesome smoking is, and how awful heights, cats and overbearing mothers are.  Enjoy the podcast.Jason, Andy and Dana will discuss a 1985 movie weekly, breaking down all the nonsense there within.

Have you ever been working towards a dream or a special goal, but just before you reached it, everything fell apart? Broken dreams can be crushing, but sometimes there's more to see. Pastor John Munro helps us discover that even in the middle of life's disasters, God has a plan.

If you’re busted, you’ve been caught in the act. Is that enough to change your heart and behavior, or will you just look for better ways to get away with your wrongdoing? It’s better to be broken, brought to a place of surrender and repentance, so that God can set you on the path to a better future.

In this series, we explore one of H2O's core values—Community—through the lens of the book of Ephesians. This letter paints a rich picture of who the people of God are and what it means to live as one body in Christ. Borrowing insights from Henri Nouwen's Life of the Beloved, we'll reflect on what it means to be Chosen, Blessed, Broken, and Given—not just as individuals, but as a unified people shaped by grace. From God's decision to form a community of blessing, to the call to love, serve, and stand together against the powers of this world, Ephesians tells the story of a people brought together in Christ for the sake of the world. Join us as we rediscover the beauty, challenge, and purpose of being the people of God—together.

#920 | Ed and Dharnish pick apart United's defeat at Brentford – another game of aimless long balls, players out of position, and a system that looks increasingly unworkable. The expected goals against keeps piling up, the chances created are toothless, and Ruben Amorim's supposed philosophy remains nowhere to be seen. There's debate over Bruno Fernandes' role, attacking patterns that break down before they begin, and whether the summer signings are doing anything to shift the needle. It's hard not to question whether Amorim can actually turn this around. Still, Sunderland is next – and with it, a sliver of hope.

How do we know who is a genuine believer? And why does it matter to know the difference between conversion and conviction? Those are the questions we're wrestling with in this episode How to Study the Bible. Today, we're studying Daniel 4 in our Living Right Side Up in an Upside Down World series. After dreams, miracles, and multiple warnings, the king still resists repentance—until God graciously brings him low and restores him when he finally acknowledges: “Heaven rules.” Nicole distinguishes religious conviction from Christian conversion, names how pride hides in plain sight, and calls listeners to examine their allegiance—not to personalities, parties, or echo chambers, but to Jesus as Lord. You’ll learn how to read Daniel 4 with context, spot the turn from “the tree” to “the man,” and apply the chapter’s timeless truths to your life today. Key Takeaways from Daniel 4 - Religious conviction does not equal Christian conversion. Interest, morality, or “saying the right words” is not the same as repentance and allegiance to Jesus. Heaven rules. God is sovereign over kings, kingdoms, and timelines—even when He seems slow. Pride is subtle and stubborn. It hides in control, certainty, self-reliance, and power. God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. God is patient. Nebuchadnezzar receives 12 months to repent—Scripture shows a God who warns, waits, and still welcomes. Read carefully. Daniel 4 shifts from describing a tree (it/its) to a person (him/his)—a textual clue that the dream is about the king himself. Escape echo chambers. Anchor teaching in Scripture, not personalities or algorithms. Measure fruit, not just words. Repentance is a turn, not a tweak. Conversion means leaving the kingdom of self for the kingdom of God—a new operating system.

Your money soundtrack—what plays on repeat in your head—will either help or hinder your financial decisions. We all know the power of overthinking—but the good news is, you can change the tune of those money soundtracks playing in your mind. Jon Acuff joins us today to show you how.Jon Acuff is a New York Times bestselling author, speaker, and podcaster who helps people overcome overthinking, change their mindsets, and achieve goals. He's written 10 books, including Soundtracks: The Surprising Solution to Overthinking.What Are “Soundtracks”?Soundtracks are the repeated thoughts that play in our minds—like music on loop. They can be helpful or harmful, but either way, they shape our lives.If you'd like to change the soundtracks that you have been listening to, this framework is simple yet profound:Retire the broken soundtracks that hold you back.Replace them with healthier, truthful ones.Repeat them until they become second nature.It's not enough to get rid of the old. You have to replace it with the new.Retiring Broken SoundtracksThe first step is to identify what's holding you back. Write down a financial goal—such as paying off debt, buying a home, or supporting missionaries—and then pay attention to your immediate thoughts.Are they encouraging or discouraging? Many people quickly hear internal voices saying things like:“Who are you to think you could do that?”“You'll never make more than your parents.”“Money isn't for people like you.”These are broken soundtracks—thoughts that undermine God's best for your life. Sometimes, they're inherited.Here are several unhealthy financial soundtracks that many people believe:“Mo Money, Mo Problems.” Popularized by a hip-hop song, this belief ties success to stress. But lacking money doesn't eliminate problems either—it often magnifies them. “I'll give when I'm successful.” Many delay generosity until they feel financially “ready.” But giving is a practice best learned in small amounts now, so it grows with you over time. “I'm not a money person.” Labeling yourself this way shuts the door on growth. Money management is a skill, not a fixed identity.These soundtracks don't just affect finances; they limit your potential. In one survey that Jon conducted with 3,000 people, a staggering 96% reported not living up to their full potential—often due to limiting beliefs.Replacing Soundtracks with TruthOnce you identify the lies, it's time to replace them. That can mean flipping the negative thought on its head, seeking wisdom in Scripture, or learning from mentors.Some examples of healthier money soundtracks include:“I can do amazing things with money.”“I can make more than my parents, and that's okay.”“I am my own biggest venture capitalist—my day job is funding my dream.”But what if you feel stuck? We encourage you to start small. Too often, people believe they must overhaul their entire lives overnight. Instead, try carving out 15 minutes a day to take one positive step forward. Over time, those mustard-seed-sized efforts compound into meaningful change.The truth is that the thoughts you repeat about money directly influence how you use it. Broken soundtracks can sabotage generosity, stunt growth, and even cause you to reject God's gifts. However, by retiring lies and replacing them with truth, and repeating them faithfully, you can align your mindset with God's wisdom.If you change the thought, you'll change the actions, and then the results will follow.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm looking at Medicare Advantage plans. They seem cheaper upfront, but I'm concerned about high out-of-pocket costs if something serious were to happen. My wife is just starting Medicare, and we want to know the best option.I'm nearly two years into my job and haven't yet started contributing to the company's 401(k). My concern is making sure my investments align with my Christian values.What's the difference between a living trust and a will, and which one is better for estate planning?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Soundtracks: The Surprising Solution to Overthinking by Jon AcuffJon AcuffList of Faith-Based Investment FundsWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Coleton began with a story about accidentally cutting himself with his dad's pocketknife. Just like with the knife, he wants to handle this text carefully because it's often misunderstood—either leading people to miss out on what Jesus promises or to become disillusioned when prayer doesn't seem to work. ⸻ 1. What Is Jesus Actually Saying? •    Jesus says: “Truly I tell you…” — a phrase He uses in other places where the words were fulfilled literally (Peter's denial, eternal life, heaven and earth passing away). •    Therefore, we should not reinterpret His words about prayer and mountains to mean something symbolic. •    Jesus also says “anyone” and “whatever you ask,” which expands the promise beyond just the disciples. •    The phrase “moving mountains” was a common Jewish saying about impossible tasks, showing Jesus meant bold prayers that seem impossible. Quote: •    “Moving mountains” became a figure of speech for a task that was considered virtually impossible. — Background Commentary ⸻ 2. How Did the Disciples Respond? •    The disciples didn't reinterpret Jesus—they prayed boldly in Acts. •    They spoke directly to mountains (sickness, persecution, demons, even death) and God responded powerfully. •    Examples: Acts 3 (healing), Acts 9 (raising Tabitha), Acts 16 (casting out spirits), James 5 (prayer of faith heals the sick). •    The evidence shows they took Jesus at His word and practiced it literally. ⸻ 3. Why Don't We Experience This Today? •    Many don't expect God to act powerfully anymore because: •    Lack of faith (James 4:2) •    Selfish motives (James 4:3) •    Broken relationships (1 Peter 3:7) •    Cherishing sin (Psalm 66:18–19) •    Lack of persistence (Luke 18) •    We've been taught to reinterpret Jesus, so our expectation for prayer is low. •    Doubt is a major barrier: doubting that prayer works, that God hears us, or that He will act. Quote: •    “Two thousand years of exegesis have successfully explained away texts like these… They have awkwardly suppressed the fact that the Bible clearly presents healing and miracles as something Jesus and the early church practiced and expected…” — Ulrich Luz, paraphrased by Frederick Dale Bruner ⸻ 4. How Do We Grow in Faith for Prayer? •    Fight doubt by deepening trust in God's character through Scripture and prayer. •    Ask God to increase your faith. •    Surround yourself with people of strong faith. •    Read accounts of powerful prayer in history. (Great book: E.M. Bounds —On Prayer) •    Seek God's will for what you're praying—He will reveal it. ⸻ 5. Don't Settle for Less     •    Jesus gave His life to give us access to God in prayer—why would He do this if our prayers were powerless? •    Don't reinterpret Jesus' words to fit your experience. Instead, pursue the experience Jesus promised. •    There is real power in prayer when we remove hindrances, pray in faith, and seek God's will. Discussion Questions: 1. What stood out to you from Sundays message? 2. How does looking at the way the disciples prayed in the book of Acts shape your confidence in Jesus' words about prayer? 3. Of the hindrances to prayer which do you most relate to? Why? 4. Do you think doubt is a bigger struggle with God's ability or His willingness? 5. Who in your life strengthens your faith when you struggle with doubt?

Being a Hope Dealer w/Christin Day | The Hopeaholics PodcastIn this episode of the Hopeaholics Podcast, Christin Day shares a raw and emotional account of her journey through addiction, trauma, and recovery. She opens up about becoming a teen mom, experiencing multiple pregnancies and losses, and entering into an early marriage that quickly unraveled amid infidelity and violence. Her story follows a spiral into meth use, arrests, and jail time even while pregnant, leading to the painful decision to give her daughter up for adoption and later the loss of custody of another child. Christin recalls cycles of abusive relationships, relapses, and moments of deep despair including suicide attempts before finally reaching a turning point where she committed to recovery for herself rather than others. She speaks about the healing power of therapy, her baptism as a moment of release from guilt and shame, and how she transformed her pain into purpose by mentoring others, sponsoring women in recovery, and returning to jails and prisons to bring hope. Alongside heartbreaking moments such as losing her first sponsor to fentanyl, Christin emphasizes that her life today is built on faith, service, and the daily work of sobriety, proving that recovery, while never easy, is possible and worth it.#thehopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #Hope #wedorecover #treatmentcenter #natalieevamarieJoin our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

In this episode, David interviews Lara Silverman, the author of the newly released memoir, Singing Through the Fire. Lara was a high-power attorney just entering the best and most exciting time of her life when she was struck with severe vertigo, nausea, and pain.This mysterious illness eventually claimed her career and left her bedbound. But God was still at work in Lara's life. As she gained some of her mobility back, God brought a love story into her life with Matt Silverman. The only problem was that Matt was ill, too, very ill. Matt had terminal cancer. Her story is one of faithful lament and resilience as she and Matt fought to experience joy every day and everything that God gave them.The interview focuses specifically on a theology of suffering and living with eternity in view. If you are suffering or struggling with grief or both, this interview will encourage you to hold on to hope.Singing Through Fire: A Memoir of Finding Surprising Joy in Life's Darkest Trials: Silverman, Lara: 9798218714994: Amazon.com: BooksLara's YouTube channel: The SILVERMAN show - YouTubeLara's other social media links: https://www.facebook.com/lara.palanjian.silverman/InstagramBroken and Mended Conference Registration: Broken and Mended Incorporated - Broken and Mended Conference 2025In The Seams interview with fellow Armenians and mutual friends (and Broken and Mended conference speakers!)

Addiction doesn't begin with the drugs—it begins with a choice. For some, it's chasing acceptance, status, or a way to numb pain. What starts as rebellion can spiral into theft, violence, and dependency. Too often, people don't realize until it's too late that the friends, popularity, or money they were chasing never fill the emptiness inside. The result? Broken trust, wasted years, and lives left on the edge of collapse. Andre Chestnut—author of Young Hood to Our Father's Hood under the name Drew Castagna—knows this path all too well. His story begins with early bad choices and brushes with destruction, but it doesn't end there. Through near-death experiences, a persistent inner voice, and eventually a rediscovery of faith, Andre turned his life around. Today, he shares his journey to show others that no matter how far you've fallen, redemption and purpose are always within reach. Quotes: “I was born with one hand, and I learned early in life that when you don't fit in, you find other ways—sometimes the wrong ways.” “The voice never left me. Even when I ignored it, it saved me from death or prison countless times.” “We do drugs because we're searching. But the answer we're looking for isn't in the drugs—it's in the Lord.” “At some point I changed from the lamb to one of the lions. I had to learn to return to being a lamb.” “The purpose of this book is to reach the lost souls, to show them God never left—it's us who walked away.” Resources: Young Hood to Our Father Hood Follow Andre Chestnut on Facebook

Segment 1 • Forgiveness isn't optional—even when repentance isn't perfect. • Broken trust with family means hard, intentional work to rebuild it. • TRANSFORMED SEASON 4 sets the stage with practical application. Segment 2 • OnlyFans is exploding across college campuses—a tragic cultural trend. • Lecrae releases Reconstruction while flirting with deconstruction themes. • AI “truth” is shaky; apostasy and self-made “truths” define deconstruction. Segment 3 • Jimmy preaching on deconstruction at camp—Gen Z's battlefront. • Even Sproul and MacArthur disagreed—unity is bigger than uniformity. • Don't treat church like a product—show up to participate, not consume. Segment 4 • Jen Hatmaker admits she left the church, maybe for good. • Simply showing up to church encourages others more than you think. • Marriage isn't about convenience—it's a God-designed school of character. ___ Thanks for listening!
