Today's Bible Verse: "While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples." — Matthew 9:10 Jesus was never afraid to meet people where they were. In Matthew 9:10, we see Him sitting at a table with those who were often rejected and judged by society. His willingness to spend time with tax collectors and sinners reveals the heart of God — a heart that seeks, welcomes, and restores people. Want to listen without ads?

2 Kings 23:4 (ESV) - “And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest and the priests of the second order and the keepers of the threshold to bring out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels made for Baal, for Asherah, and for all the host of heaven. He burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron and carried their ashes to Bethel.” In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall reflects on King Josiah's reforms and the importance of maintaining a sense of what is sacred. When Josiah discovered that objects and practices associated with idol worship had been brought into the temple, he took decisive action to remove anything that dishonored God and compromised the purpose of a place dedicated to His worship. Pastor Sumrall explains that throughout Scripture, God's people were called to treat what was dedicated to Him with reverence and respect. While believers understand that God's presence is not limited to a building, places, ministries, and things set apart for His service should still be treated with honor and care. Scripture repeatedly shows that God values what is consecrated to Him. This Daily Devotion reminds us to protect what has been dedicated to God and to guard against anything that would diminish its purpose. ---- Don't forget to like, subscribe to Cathedral of Praise TV https://www.youtube.com/c/cathedralofpraiseTV/?sub_confirmation=1,and hit the bell icon

Acts 13:2 (ESV) - “While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, ‘Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.'” In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall shares an important leadership lesson from the first missionary journey of Paul and Barnabas. When the Holy Spirit called individuals for a specific assignment, He clearly identified those He had chosen. Although others joined the team, not everyone had been specifically called to that work. Pastor Sumrall explains that there is a difference between giving someone an opportunity and recognizing a genuine calling. Good intentions, family connections, or a desire to help are not substitutes for God's direction. When people become part of a ministry or assignment without a clear calling from God, difficulties, discouragement, and even departures can occur when challenges arise. This Daily Devotion reminds us of the importance of building teams according to God's leading rather than human preferences. ---- Don't forget to like, subscribe to Cathedral of Praise TV https://www.youtube.com/c/cathedralofpraiseTV/?sub_confirmation=1,and hit the bell icon

Set sail for New Orleans Square in this episode of Sent from Disneyland as we explore two postcards connected to one of Disneyland's most beloved attractions: Pirates of the Caribbean. The first postcard, mailed in 1970, captures a panoramic view of New Orleans Square with the Pirates entrance, Royal Street storefronts, and the charming details that made the land feel like a living piece of old New Orleans. A note from a family vacationing across Southern California provides a glimpse into a classic road trip that included Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, Universal Studios, SeaWorld, the San Diego Zoo, and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Inspired by a recent reading of X Atencio: The Legacy of an Artist, Imagineer and Disney Legend, the history segment takes a deep dive into the remarkable contributions of Disney Legend X Atencio. From writing and storyboarding Pirates of the Caribbean to creating the auction scene, helping shape the attraction's narrative structure, and co-writing "Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life for Me)" with George Bruns, X left an unforgettable mark on Disneyland history. Along the way, we revisit Walt Disney's famous advice about treating the attraction like a cocktail party—allowing guests to discover something new with every voyage. The second postcard, featuring Br'er Bear and Br'er Fox greeting guests in New Orleans Square in 1976, leads to another fascinating chapter of Pirates history: the creation of "No Dough Productions." This informal group of Disney employees and Imagineers provided voices for attractions, helping bring Pirates of the Caribbean to life while keeping production costs under control. We explore X Atencio's own voice contributions, including the iconic talking skull that welcomes guests into the attraction. To close the show, an incoming postcard arrives from London featuring a classic red Royal Mail post box near St. Paul's Cathedral. The beautiful artwork, international postage, and reflections on weather, postcards, and summer correspondence provide the perfect ending to an episode devoted to storytelling through both attractions and the mail. From Royal Street and pirate shanties to talking skulls and London post boxes, this episode celebrates the creativity, artistry, and history that continue to make Pirates of the Caribbean one of Disneyland's enduring treasures.

Young Australians are returning to faith at rates nobody predicted. Archbishop Peter A. Comensoli tells Lindsay Sant, Caroline Knight, and Lino Saubolle what's behind it, and what St Patrick's Cathedral has to do with it.

The writer and broadcaster Chris Bowlby is intereviewed this week about his book No Complacency: Life, death, football, and the cathedral on the hill. The book is published by Herne Books and is available from the Church Times Bookshop for £18. From the publisher's description: “When Chris Bowlby's son Ewan was diagnosed with a brain tumour aged 17, you might have thought football would be the last thing on their minds. But in the following decade in which Ewan faced growing threats to his health, the love of football they shared seemed to grow in importance. It was a kind of thread, defiantly holding some kind of normal life together, and a passion that prompted fascinating discussion about why a sport could matter so much. “After Ewan's death from cancer in 2022 [Gazette, 3 March 2023], Chris faced a choice. He wondered whether his lifelong love of football might fade. But gradually he found a way of including grief in a return to life, all of life. He understood as never before how much football had meant to him, how it had shaped the world he had lived through, and how it could now help him cope. Yet there was tension too. Was he now more aware of how the modern game might be leaving its humanity behind? “This book explores that experience, ranging from top-level football to community clubs, the intensely local to the global, the women's game as well as the men's. It has football at its heart but is about much more than sport.” Ewan Bowlby's book, Borrowed Stories: Facing cancer with culture — from Breaking Bad to The Divine Comedy, was published last year (Features, 12 September 2025). https://chbookshop.hymnsam.co.uk/books/9781917362115/borrowed-stories https://www.churchtimes.co.uk/articles/2025/12-september/features/features/facing-cancer-with-culture-end-of-life-solace-in-storytelling Chris Bowlby has written the Viewpoint column in the 19 June edition of the Church Times. https://www.churchtimes.co.uk/articles/2026/19-june/comment/columnists/viewpoint-with-chris-bowlby-football-and-religion-can-benefit-each-other Chris Bowlby was for many years on the staff of the BBC, where he made documentaries on a wide range of subjects including payday lending and football, profiles of leading football club owners, and the history of the Berlin venue for the 2006 World Cup final. He has also been a regular columnist for the BBC History magazine, a foreign correspondent for the Independent, and writes obituaries for The Times. Music for the podcast is by Twisterium.

The Glasgow Necropolis is a Victorian cemetery in Glasgow, Scotland. It is on a low but very prominent hill to the east of Glasgow Cathedral (St Mungo's Cathedral). The cemetery is in an area bordered by the Townhead and Dennistoun districts to the north east of the modern city centre. Fifty thousand individuals have been buried here. Typical for the period, only a small percentage are named on monuments…and not every grave has a stone. Approximately 3,500 monuments exist here!!!https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EI4eJgqRpZg&ra=mhttps://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/glasgow/necropolis.shtmlhttps://www.myhighlands.de/en/glasgow-necropolis/https://thelittlehouseofhorrors.com/glasgow-necropolis/https://brocarde.com/glasgow-necropolis-ghosts-haunted-statues-and-the-legend-of-the-gorbals-vampire/https://vocal.media/horror/the-real-haunted-story-of-glasgow-hotel

A kremlin is simply a fortress or citadel in Russia. Many Russian cities have kremlins, or these fortified complexes. On this redux, we are focusing on the kremlin located in Moscow, which is simply known today as The Kremlin. The site upon which The Kremlin was built, has thousands of years of history behind it and The Kremlin itself does as well.  As the seat of government, The Kremlin has seen many leaders come and go. Apparently, some of those leaders never left. Not only does the spirit with which they lead the country remain, but in some cases, their actual spirits still roam the halls of this magnificent building. Join us for the history and hauntings of The Kremlin.

We'll explain what the Trump administration is saying about the agreement, which leaked provisions officials are disputing, and the key questions that still remain about sanctions relief, Iran's nuclear program, and the future of the region. • Later in the show—Russia launches another record-setting aerial assault against Ukraine, striking targets across the country and damaging one of Eastern Christianity's most revered monasteries.

Day 1,571.In what could prove one of the most consequential weeks of the year for international diplomacy, Francis and Dom assess what a ceasefire in Iran might mean for the war – and whether it could help unlock a pathway towards peace after another bloody weekend in which a Russian attack left one of Kyiv's most historic cathedrals in flames. They also examine the significance of British Royal Marines boarding and seizing a Russian shadow fleet tanker, and report the latest on Ukraine's EU negotiations as formal accession talks kick off today. Finally, Dom considers the sweeping military reforms now being undertaken by Kyiv that could have profound consequences for Ukraine's armed forces and those fighting on the frontline.Contributors:Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.Producer: Rachel PorterSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Sophie O'SullivanSocial Producer: Tom SteedStudio Director: James EnglandExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

Today's Bible Verse:: "Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval." — John 6:27 John 6:27 challenges us to examine what we are truly pursuing. After feeding the five thousand, Jesus recognized that many people were following Him because of what He could provide physically. He used this moment to point them toward something greater—a life that is not centered only on temporary needs, but on the eternal nourishment found in Him. Want to listen without ads?

"He was one of the greatest men of Serbia who ruled the kingdom after king Dušan. Upon the death of King Uroš, Lazar was crowned King of Serbia by Patriarch Ephraim. He sent a delegation to Constantinople, including a monk called Isaiah, to plead for the removing of the anathema from the Serbian people. He went to war on several occasions against the Turkish Pasha, finally clashing with the Turkish king, Amurât, at Kosovo on June 15, 1389, being slain there. His body was taken to Ravanica near Cupria, a foundation of his, and buried there, but was later taken to New Ravanica in Srem. During the Second World War, in 1942, it was taken to Belgrade and placed in the Cathedral, where it is preserved to this day and offers comfort and healing to all who turn to him in prayer. He restored Hilandar and Gornjak, built Ravanica and the Lazarica in Kruševac and was the founder of St Panteleimon, the Russian monastery on the Holy Mountain, as well as numerous other churches and monasteries."

In his latest novel Your Life Without Me (Canongate) journalist and novelist James Meek investigates the unpredictable links between personal trauma, family dysfunction and political violence. A retired schoolmaster is invited by the police to meet a former pupil accused of plotting to destroy St Paul's Cathedral. ‘This is his best novel yet, writes Alex Preston, ‘a dark and unsettling meditation on marriage, fatherhood and architecture. Every page rings with deep truth.' James read from his book, and was in conversation about it with the writer Lara Pawson. You can by a copy of Your Life Without Me from the London Review Bookshop.

Bella and Jack share their memories of the 2020 merger announcement, their first impressions of the renovated campus, the teachers and mentors who helped shape them, and themoments that made them realize Cathedral Prep was where they belonged. They also discuss what it means to continue a family legacy at Prep, the lessons they learned during their high school years, and the advice they would give to the next generation of Ramblers. Bella and Jack go on to offer a heartfelt message of gratitude to the alumni, parents, and supporters whose generosity continues to create opportunities for Prep students today.

This month we return to our lesbian dating and relationship conversation, the one we share on the second Friday of every month, and by popular request Tonda is back at the table! Anne-Marie is joined by her wife, Tonda McKay, our longtime out lesbian and resident truth teller, and by Barbara Rowlandson, fellow coach and the woman who helps lead our Authentically Us community. Together we work through four real questions pulled from the Lesbian Dating Advice subreddit, and the conversation moves from laughing out loud to genuinely tender.We start with the question so many of us know by heart, is my barista flirting with me, and we talk about strategic ambiguity, the cognitive itch that turns a maybe into a crush, and why two women who like each other can sit in a room and say nothing at all. From there we look at a girlfriend whose closest bond is with her straight married best friend, and we ask the harder question underneath the jealousy, are your needs being met in this relationship. We sit with a heartbreaking note from someone whose partner ended things out of religious guilt, and Anne-Marie and Tonda speak plainly about internalized shame, the cost of loving someone who is still in the closet, and the truth that you can be both gay and beloved by the Divine. We close with the "break" at seven months that is really a breakup, the anxious and avoidant dance, and Barbara's reminder that if someone tells you that you are too much, you are free to go find less.A few invitations from this episode. If you are wrestling with the clobber passages and the old messages about faith and sexuality, we point you toward the resources at Cathedral of Hope in Dallas, a UCC congregation that does this work with real care: https://www.cathedralofhope.com/If this season of your life has a catalyst of its own, Barbara and Anne-Marie created The Catalyst Chapter, a course to help you understand why this work can feel so hard and so holy, and you can find it inside Authentically Us and on the Anne-Marie Zanzal Coaching website, https://annemariezanzal.com/We taped this on the first of June, so wherever you are, we hope you find your way to some community and some queer joy this Pride month, and if it is safe and right for you, we hope you let yourself be seen. We are so glad you are here!

The approach and the entrance to the Los Angeles Central Library in the City's downtown, is both dramatic and inviting. The experience can conjure the feeling of entering a Cathedral. One is walking through arches, rotundas, gothic high ceilings past large posters, rare paintings and sculpture, and ahead the awesome sight of escalators facing huge figurines hanging overhead. It is from the escalators that you will have a dizzying choice of reading rooms to visit like the International Room with books in over 100 different languages, the History Room, The Literacy Room for tutoring, and so many more to explore. Christina Rice, Senior Librarian of the Photo Collection and Madeline Pena, Director of Engagement and Learning Division, are the dynamic and creative team who for over the last two years have been preparing for a grand celebration of this very 100 year old building and its history. They named this Centennial, CENTRAL 100, 1926 to 2026. The theme is, “Celebrating a Century of the Light of Learning”. It is a celebration of the architecture, of the survival of the Central Library and its role as a “crown jewel” of a Library system of 73 branches beloved in a City that has gown with it in the last 100 years. The highlight of the year long activities is the July 11th Festival to be held all day, from 10:00 a. m. to 4:00 p. m. Listen to Christina and Madeline and hear their stories of an iconic building welcoming people from the diversity of Los Angeles and from around the world.

毎年５月下旬から６月初旬にかけてアメリカは高校・大学の卒業式シーズンとなります。今は大学生になった娘もそうしたアメリカの卒業式を経験。カトリック系の高校のため、ニュージャージー州にある有名な大聖堂で行われました。卒業式に着る服装と式の様子を通して私が感じたアメリカの文化について語ります。ぜひ、聴いてくださいね。 “Thrilled by the Cathedral! A Glimpse into American Culture at a Graduation Ceremony” Every year, from late May to early June, it's graduation season for high schools and colleges in the U.S. My daughter, who is now in college, also experienced one of these American graduation ceremonies(Commencement). Since she attended a Catholic high school, the ceremony was held at a famous cathedral in New Jersey. I'd like to share my thoughts on American culture as seen through the attire worn at the ceremony and the atmosphere of the event.

Today’s Bible Verse: “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands.” — Acts 17:24 Acts 17:24 is part of Paul’s message to the people of Athens, where he introduces them to the one true God. Surrounded by temples, idols, and competing ideas about spirituality, Paul points to a foundational truth: God is the Creator of everything. He is not limited by buildings, traditions, or human understanding. He is the Lord of heaven and earth. Want to listen without ads?

A timber-frame “cathedral” filled with Mopar muscle cars and neon signs sounds like a myth until you hear it from the guy who built it. We sit down with John Hovis, creator of the Hemi Hideout near Brookshire, Texas, to talk about the passion that drove him to collect late-1960s and early-1970s Dodge and Plymouth legends, why an original Superbird still stops people in their tracks, and how the space has grown into a full-on automotive time capsule.We also get into what makes the Hideout more than a private collection: weekday tours, a volunteer crew that loves telling the stories, and a simple model that turns visits into local charity donations. John shares why the building itself matters, how the memorabilia and vintage signs became a second obsession, and what it's like to keep adding pieces when you're “running out of wall.”Then we jump from old-school horsepower to modern electrons with Jeff's Motor Minute nostalgia and Don's review of the 2026 GMC Sierra EV Denali Max Range. We cover claimed range vs real driving, towing and payload, the sheer weight of a big-battery electric pickup, and why missing Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is a real talking point for buyers.

The "Bread of Life" discourse in the sixth chapter of John's Gospel reveals how the Body and Blood of Jesus fosters our life in God. (Lectionary #167) June 6, 2026 - Cathedral of Christ the King - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com  

This video reflects on the profound cost of biblical accessibility throughout history, emphasizing how the translation and distribution of Scripture were once acts of radical courage under severe persecution. It traces the journey from Wycliffe's laborious hand-copied Bibles to Tyndale's pioneering English translation, which was smuggled abroad and burned upon discovery in England, underscoring the life-threatening stakes of reading God's Word in one's own language. The narrative highlights how figures like Erasmus, Luther, and later Geneva scholars continued the work, enabling the Bible's spread even during the reign of Mary Tudor, when dissenters fled to places like Geneva for safety. Ultimately, the sermon calls the audience to reverence the Bible not as a mere text, but as a legacy of sacrifice, urging gratitude for the freedom to read Scripture today and a renewed commitment to its truth and authority.

Jason Miller - Like many of the prayers in the book of Psalms, Psalm 24 speaks of the longing to be with God. But it offers both a warning and a hope for all of us who would respond to that desire.

You step off a train in cities like Paris, Florence, Vienna, or Amsterdam and it feels like centuries of wealth, art, empire, and philosophy are layered directly into the streets. The architecture alone can overwhelm you. Cathedrals built before entire countries existed in the Americas. Cafés where writers, revolutionaries, and painters spent decades shaping culture. The infrastructure is polished, the museums endless, and even ordinary neighborhoods can feel cinematic. But what surprises many travelers is how deeply routine it all is for locals. The beauty becomes normalized. People casually drink wine beside buildings older than most civilizations in the Western Hemisphere. Western Europe feels refined, stable, and historically “finished” in a way few regions on Earth do. Eastern Europe hits differently. It feels heavier, rawer, and in many ways more honest. The scars of war, communism, occupation, and survival are still visible in the architecture and mentality. Cities like Budapest, Belgrade, Kraków, Bucharest, or Sarajevo carry a tension between old-world beauty and recent hardship. You can walk through grand Austro-Hungarian boulevards, then see Soviet apartment blocks only minutes away. The people are often less performative for tourists and more direct in conversation. Prices are lower, nightlife can be wilder, and the atmosphere feels less commercialized than Western Europe. There's also a stronger feeling that history here was not just written in books but lived recently by grandparents still alive today. Eastern Europe often leaves travelers with deeper memories because it feels less filtered and more emotionally textured. One of the biggest differences between traveling Europe and traveling Latin America is the relationship between order and spontaneity. Europe, especially Western Europe, operates with systems that have been refined for generations. Trains run on schedules. Streets were designed for walking centuries ago. Public life functions with a certain predictability. Latin America feels more alive in a chaotic sense. Plans change. Conversations last longer. Bureaucracy can feel irrational one moment and strangely human the next. In Europe, efficiency often dominates culture. In Latin America, relationships dominate culture. Neither is automatically better. One gives structure and reliability. The other gives warmth, adaptability, and energy. Travelers who understand this distinction usually enjoy both regions far more because they stop expecting them to operate the same way.

Today’s Bible Verse: “The Lord had said to Abram, ‘Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.’” — Genesis 12:1 Genesis 12:1 marks the beginning of one of the most significant faith journeys in Scripture. God calls Abram to leave behind everything familiar—his home, his people, and his plans—and follow Him into an unknown future. There are few details, no map, and no clear timeline. There is only a promise and an invitation to trust. Want to listen without ads?
