Title: The Names of GodSpeaker: Pastor Bryan SmithDate: 22nd March 2026Location: New Plymouth, New Zealand Summary: "The Lord is my shepherd" is one of the most quoted lines in the Bible, but how often do we pause to ask what that name actually means? This episode takes a close look at several of the Hebrew names of God, unpacking what each one reveals about who God is and what He offers His people today. Starting with Jehovah Tsidkenu, the Lord our righteousness, the episode draws a direct line from Jeremiah's prophecy about the coming Messiah to Jesus as the fulfilment of that promise. The world is full of corruption and no amount of personal effort can clean that up. Jesus, the exact image of the Father, laid down His life to remove the contamination of sin and restore righteousness to those who trust in Him. From there, the names keep unfolding. Jehovah Rohi, the Lord is my shepherd, points to a God who knows each person by name, who guides, protects, and provides even through the darkest valleys. Then Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals, is traced from a bitter wilderness spring to the cross itself, where healing was secured. Taken together, these names build a picture of a God who is not one-dimensional but deeply personal, multi-faceted, and actively involved in every area of life. Key Points: Jehovah Tsidkenu means "the Lord our righteousness." Jesus fulfilled this name by dealing with the corruption of sin that no human effort could fix, making His righteousness available to everyone who receives Him. Jehovah Rohi means "the Lord is my shepherd." Just as David drew comfort from knowing God watched over every detail of his life, the same promise stands for believers today, including through fear, uncertainty, and the challenges of a turbulent world. Jehovah Rapha means "the Lord who heals." The tree cast into the bitter waters at Marah points forward to the cross, where Christ bore sin in His own body so that healing, wholeness, and restoration could flow to His people. Reference Scriptures: Jeremiah 23:5-6 Hebrews 1:1-9 Exodus 6:2-3, 7 Psalm 23:1-6 John 10:11-14 Acts 20:25-31 Exodus 15:22-26 1 Peter 2:21-25 James 5:14-16 Psalm 83 Listen to the entire Podcast Revival library by visiting https://podcastrevival.com The Revival Fellowship is a Bible-directed, Spirit-filled Church and we welcome visitors to our meetings at any of our locations worldwide.

They explain what ex parte reexam is, when and why it is used, and how new preorder patent owner submissions shape strategy for both requesters and patent owners.

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we sit down with comedy legend Craig Shoemaker — a man who's been making audiences laugh for over 40 years and somehow turned it into both an art form and a wellness movement.You know him as The LoveMaster, you've seen him in Parks and Recreation, Scream 2, and countless Comedy Central specials (including one ranked among their all-time best)… but Craig's story goes way deeper than stand-up.We talk about:* His spot-on Don Knotts impression and Hollywood work behind the scenes* Wild personal stories (including cults, family chaos, and everything in between)* How he turned comedy into a tool for healing, communication, and transformationCraig also breaks down his work with Laugh Bath™, and how humor can actually change your brain (yeah… we weren't expecting that either).

to ask. This week on Radio Labyrinth, we dive into the controversy, speculation, and politics that always seem to swirl around the Olympic Games. Is it corruption? Bias? National favoritism?

Young to discuss Fabricants, the explosive second installment in The Manifold Series — and the audiobook is narrated by our own Tim Andrews.After awakening from stasis on a galaxy-crossing colony mission, commanders Trapp and Bretta discover something terrifying: hundreds of Fabricants — the colony's synthetic workforce — have been neatly disassembled into lifeless piles.

We also give love to his films Always Amazing and The Opening Act, and dig into what draws him to telling stories beyond the stand-up stage.After that, we check in on life post S'nope 2026—surviving days trapped inside with a toddler, mild generator-related injuries, and watching Superman through the very loud, very concerned commentary of a small child (“Is Super Dog OK??”). We also touch on what we are and definitely are not watching right now, including thoughts on A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and a firm pass on becoming Trek-olytes.Cold weather, comedy road stories, filmmaking, and just enough chaos—another week deep inside the Labyrinth.

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we stare down the Atlanta ice storm—or whatever version of it actually shows up. Two days ago we were all doomed, today it's “mostly rain,” and YouTube weather channels are somewhere in between sounding the apocalypse siren. We talk storm panic, forecast whiplash, and the fine line between preparation and full-blown weather doom-scrolling.Then we pivot to pop culture comfort food with a debate over TV's greatest neighbor characters, sparked by a recent Washington Post ranking. From classic sitcom legends to chaotic wild cards, everyone brings their personal Top 3—and no, we do not all agree.Cold weather, hot takes, and the eternal question: who's the best neighbor in TV history—and why is everyone wrong except you?

There is no shortage of fear in the world right now. Wars, threats, rumors, and nonstop headlines are pushing people into panic. But fear was never supposed to be the fruit of Bible prophecy. Scripture tells us that understanding produces strength, not anxiety. Today, we're talking about why God never intended end time teaching to paralyze believers — and how understanding prophecy replaces panic with purpose, stability, and peace in the middle of a shaking world. ⭐️: True Gold Republic: Get The Endtime Show special on precious metals at https://www.endtimegold.com 📱: It's never been easier to understand.

We also dig into Randy's roots as an Atlanta actor and how the rise of Hollywood in the ATL has changed opportunities for working performers outside of L.A.After the interview, we rewind and catch up on the holidays. The crew compares Christmas and New Year survival stories, sickness spreading like dominoes, family chaos, very little sleep, and way too much Stranger Things on repeat. We also touch on recent watches, books, AI rabbit holes, and the usual end-of-year pop-culture intake that comes with downtime.

We wrap up 2025 and Season 10 of Radio Labyrinth with a special guest and a little reflection. This week we're joined by Emmy-winning special effects artist Lee Romaire, whose work spans film, television, and cutting-edge animatronics. Lee talks practical effects, realism in creature design, and his work connected to Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein — plus why physical effects still matter in a CG-heavy world. Since this is S10-Ep50, we also look back at some of our favorite guests of the year and talk about what's ahead as we roll into Season 11.

This week on Radio Labyrinth Podcast, a last-minute guest cancellation turns into a lean, off-the-rails episode where we just roll with it. We kick things off by talking about how shockingly good the new Frankenstein film turned out, before diving deep into the penultimate episode of IT: Welcome to Derry and what it's setting up for the finale — themes, tone, and whether the show is actually sticking the landing. From there, we hit Hollywood news, including reports of Andy Dick's latest overdose and Gene Simmons doing the most Gene Simmons thing imaginable in Washington, D.C. We wrap things up with a quick round of Views or Snooze, keeping it short and sweet this week. No overthinking. No filler.

It's the night before Thanksgiving and the Labyrinth is running on pure chaos, carbs, and zero show prep. With no show sheet and no plan (classic), the crew naturally drifts into the biggest online argument of the week: Variety's “100 Best Comedy Movies of All Time” list that has social media melting down. We break down their Top 10, share what they nailed, what they butchered, and what absolutely does not belong anywhere near a “Best Comedy Ever” list. From cult classics to Gen-X essentials, we get into which films still make us laugh and which ones make us go “…really?” Plus, a little pre-holiday small talk about what we're watching, what we're avoiding, and what movies we're forcing on unsuspecting family members this weekend. Then we wrap things up with our Staff Picks before sending you all off to eat too much and argue with relatives. Our upcoming Atlanta Pizza & Gyro Holiday Hootenanny, happening Sunday, December 7th from 1–4 PM in Conyers.

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we welcome our buddy George Clark from VHD for a full-blown, behind-the-curtain Skankfest recap — straight from the perspective of a volunteer gofer who saw everything (maybe more than he ever wanted). George breaks down what Skankfest really is, what it's like to run around for three days for the most unhinged comics in America, and the embarrassing, drunken encounter he had with Kim Congdon and Luis J. Gomez.He even got to hang with Doug Stanhope, so you know there are stories. We talk favorite sets, surprise moments, the best and worst shows, and basically every comic who melted the walls in Vegas this year — Big Jay Oakerson, Shane Gillis, Mark Normand, Ms. Pat, Ari Shaffir, Tim Dillon, Jessica Kirson, Robert Kelly, Pauly Shore, Eddie Pepitone, Uncle Lazer, and a ridiculous amount more. Then we slide into our Thanksgiving chatter — including Jeff's fancy-bologna sandwich plans, turkey talk, holiday traditions, and the relatable chaos of preparing for the big day. (Plus the possibility of an improvised Radio Labyrinth Thanksgiving special next week.) We also preview our upcoming Atlanta Pizza & Gyro Holiday Hootenanny, happening Sunday, December 7th from 1–4 PM in Conyers. No live show, no pressure — just hanging out with fellow Radios, sharing desserts, talking movies, and getting festive.

Today's cybersecurity threats aren't isolated incidents—they are sophisticated operations orchestrated by organized criminals and even nation states. This new reality demands we respond not as individual organizations, but as a unified industry with shared intelligence and coordinated defenses. Through FINRA Forward, we are applying this perspective to create practical tools that firms can use to protect themselves and their clients from emerging threats. On this episode, we explore the topic with Bryan Smith, FINRA's Senior Vice President of Complex Investigations and Intelligence; Brita Bayatmakou, Vice President of Strategic and Threat Intelligence; and Jason Beachy, Vice President of the Cyber and Analytics Unit. Our guests discuss how FINRA is working to provide firms with the intelligence, preparation, and collaborative tools they need to better protect themselves and their customers in an increasingly complex threat landscape. These efforts include workshops and tabletop exercises, the Cyber and Operational Resilience program, and our forthcoming Financial Intelligence Fusion Center.Resources mentioned in this episode:FINRA ForwardFINRA Crypto and Blockchain Education ProgramBlog Post: FINRA Forward's Rule Modernization—An UpdateBlog Post: Vendors, Intelligence Sharing and FINRA's MissionBlog Post: FINRA Forward Initiatives to Support Members, Markets and the Investors They ServeEp. 177: Previewing FINRA's Crypto and Blockchain Education ProgramFIFC Email: fifc@finra.org Find us: LinkedIn / X / YouTube / Facebook / Instagram / E-mailSubscribe to our show on Apple Podcasts, Google Play and by RSS.

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we're diving into the blood-spattered fun of the new Shudder/AMC reality horror series Guts & Glory! We're joined by comedian, game show host, and producer FRANK NICOTERO—who also happens to be cousin to the legendary Greg Nicotero—and friend-of-the-show JOSH WARREN, who competed on the series. Frank and Josh break down what it was really like behind the scenes: the challenges, the chaos, the laughs, and the Nicotero-family madness that went into making one of the wildest reality shows of the year. We talk horror, practical effects, game show energy, and how Guts & Glory blends all of it into something fans have NEVER seen before. Plus: Tim, Jeff, Dustin, and Lizzie dig into all the usual Radio Labyrinth nonsense. KEEP IT CANON!

This week, the gang dives headfirst into the weird, wild world of AI video creation — from Sora 2 and Grok to the strange new internet characters they're spawning. Tim shares how he's been using Sora to make surreal videos for Gilbert (and inventing a whole alternate-dimension being named Gob-Loaf along the way), while Dustin and Lizzie trade their own AI stories and Jeff admits he's just waiting until they let you make porn. We also tackle the viral Food Stamp “Toast Lady” video that fooled half of TikTok (spoiler: she's not real — just another AI fever dream). In Views or Snooze, the crew previews the week's big streaming drops: * Death by Lightning (Netflix) — Michael Shannon brings President Garfield back from the dead (metaphorically). * Frankenstein (Netflix) — Guillermo del Toro's gothic vision finally arrives… a week late for Halloween. * Pluribus (Apple TV+) — Vince Gilligan returns with Rhea Seehorn in a mysterious new drama. * Plus: Jeff's culinary Staff Pick — the Whataburger patty melt with a blackberry Dr Pepper milkshake — and Tim's Text Impressions, featuring Sam Elliott reflecting on life with Billy Bob Thornton as his son.

This week, we wrap up spooky season with an interview you don't want to miss Casper Kelly, the twisted mind behind Too Many Cooks, Adult Swim Yule Log, and now V/H/S Halloween! Casper joins us to talk about his new segment “Fun Size” in V/H/S Halloween, his approach to mixing humor and horror, and why the genre's weirder side is often the most honest. We also dig into his creative process, and the unexpected path that led him from surreal late-night sketch chaos to horror anthology fame. Then, the gang breaks down Welcome to Derry Episode 1, the It prequel series that dives into Pennywise's first cycle of terror in the 1960s.

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we welcome the one and only Rhonda Shear, the legendary host of USA's Up All Night, the cult-classic late-night show that defined ‘90s cable TV. From campy B-movies and offbeat sketches to her unforgettable chemistry with Gilbert Gottfried, Rhonda became a pop culture icon—and now she's back and better than ever! Rhonda joins us to talk about her brand-new series “Up All Night with Rhonda Shear” premiering on the Kings of Horror YouTube Channel, and what fans can expect from this next chapter. We dive into her Hollywood career, her time on shows like Happy Days, Full House, and Married... with Children, her cult film roles in Spaceballs and her evolution into a powerhouse entrepreneur with Rhonda Shear Intimates and the award-winning Ahh Bra. From B-movies to bras, Rhonda has done it all—and she's here to share the laughs, the stories, and a sneak peek at what's next for the queen of camp herself.

This week's episode takes a sharp turn into the shadows as we welcome back actor Josh Warren, who joins us fresh off his appearance in Shudder's new reality competition series “Guts and Glory,” produced by none other than Greg Nicotero of The Walking Dead fame. Josh shares what it's like to be on the blood-soaked set (at least as much as his NDA allows), and gives us a peek behind the curtain of this wild new horror challenge. Then, we go full slasher mode as the gang dives headfirst into every Halloween movie in the Michael Myers franchise — all 13 of them. From Carpenter's classic to Rob Zombie's gritty remakes to the recent Blumhouse trilogy, we rank, debate, and resurrect decades of Haddonfield mayhem. It's a killer combo of horror nostalgia, behind-the-scenes talk, and pop-culture carnage that only Radio Labyrinth could deliver.

This week on Radio Labyrinth Tim is out sick, but the rest of the gang dives headfirst into the latest failed prophecy: The Rapture That Wasn't. Apparently, September 23, 2025, was supposed to be the big day. People were selling cars, homes, and cashing out like Blockbuster stock in 2010. But—spoiler alert—we're all still here. So why do people keep falling for these very specific “end of the world on Tuesday at 4pm” prophecies? We break down the history of doomsday predictions, from Harold Camping's 2011 miss to the Millerites' “Great Disappointment” of 1844, to Heaven's Gate and Hale-Bopp, to secular versions like Y2K and the 2012 Mayan calendar scare. It's always the same pattern: finite, dramatic, and always a letdown.
