WELCOME TO THE JOURNEY CHURCH ONLINE! We are so excited to connect with you this week! We pray you are blessed & that you find a place to belong here in our community. In this episode, we're joined by Student Pastor Marcus Herbert from Vista Community Church, who shares about "Stress, Anxiety, and Faith." We dive deep into the role of a church and how, when we turn to Christ, we trust that God will take care of all our needs. We look at Matt 6:25-34 and Christs take on worry, encouraging us to not worry about your basic needs but trust that God will surely care for you. We examine how faith and complete trust in God's plan can lead to greater peace.

In which a letter from HPL to Clark Ashton Smith is dissected by Sean, Andrew and our special guest hosts: Chris Lackey and Chad Fifer of the podcast Strange Studies of Strange Stories. It's an episode brimming with weird tales, and of course, cats.

We see in 2023 with Chad Fifer and Chris Lackey, the hosts of the Strange Studies of Strange Stories podcast covering genre fiction. As well podcasting, they are quite the polymath duo; Chad is a filmmaker, screenwriter, and musician, and Chris is a writer of books for tabletop RPGs and co-host of other podcasts such as Rachel Watches Star Trek.Chad and Chris's bread and butter is H.P Lovecraft - they cut their teeth on HP Podcraft, a podcast dedicated to the master of cosmic horror - and they join us today to talk about a movie that has Lovecraftian DNA running through it - John Carpenter's The Thing, the 1982 science-fiction horror masterpiece. We'll talk about the evolution of the film, from At the Mountains Of Madness to Who Goes There?; we'll cover fears of the unknown, a post-Covid reading of the film, and ponder upon alternative versions of the film starring Ernie Hudson and Christopher Walken (which almost happened!).We also chat about the various projects Chad and Chris have on the go, including Chad's 2022 movie The Time Capsule, his music with Pitch Black Manor, and Chris's unexpected podcasting adventures with his wife Rachel.Elsewhere The Judge concludes her series of talks on plagiarism, we hear Mosaix's winning entry from December's 75-word writing challenge, and Elon Musk tells Mars Radio FM how his acquisition of Twitter is paving the way for his journey to the Red Planet.LinksThe Strange Studies Of Strange Stories Podcast Chad's band Pitch Black Manor Chad's movie The Colossus, adapted from Clark Ashton Smith's short story, can be viewed for free (!!) on Youtube.

As the nights draw in and we approach the midwinter, what better way to celebrate the season than dipping into that most macabre of festive traditions, the Christmas ghost story? While we're all familiar with Dickens's A Christmas Carol, more modern traditions include the BBC's A Ghost Story For Christmas, adaptations of typically M.R James stories, and which themselves are continuations of ancient storytelling customs that stretches back several centuries, when midwinter and the winter solstice, rather than Hallowe'en, was the time of year where the veil between the lands of the living and the dead was at its thinnest.Adding to that tradition is our guest Alison Littlewood, the author of Mistletoe, a festive Gothic ghost story that follows in those traditions of tales that see the past interfering with the present, seeking reconciliation and peace. We discuss the idea of the revivification of the bleak midwinter landscape, folk horror and how Christmas builds upon more ancient customs, rites. We talk about short stories, and where the market lies for them in 2022 and 2023, the necessity of failure, and how writers can keep their heads up even when through those long bleak winters of grafting which yield little fruit.Elsewhere The Judge updates us all on matters relating to plagiarism (don't do it, kids), and November's winner of the 75-word challenge, our very own Brian Sexton, with his reimagining of the Moon Landings. Last but not least, reports of paranormal activity emanating from the planet Earth catch the attention of the Martian Space Force Ghosthunting Division, and lead to some confusion as to the true meaning of Christmas.Merry Christmas, and thanks to everyone who tuned in to listen throughout this year.

S0209 The Maker of Gargoyles by Clark Ashton SmithClark Ashton Smith was born in 1893 in Long Valley, California and died in California in 1961. He began as a poet and wrote decadent, overblown Romantic poetry after the manner of Swinburne. He got early recognition for his work in California. Lovecraft loved him and with Robert E Howard and Howard Philips Lovecraft he was one of the big three writers of Weird Tales. Ray Bradbury was also a fan. A few months ago, I re-read Bradbury's *Something Wicked This Way Comes* , and I can see that Bradbury too was a lover of poetic, sometimes overblown language—like myself! Smith was clear that his use of language and rhetorical stylings as deliberate. He talked of trying to create a "sort of verbal black magic." He uses some obscure words, such as 'vans' for wings and 'ferine' which neither I, nor my spell-checker, had come across before. I must have heard the word before because I read all of these stories as a teenager. But I'd forgotten ferine. Turns out it's a version of feral: savage and untamed. I did enjoy the word 'troublously' and also 'lubricous'. Smith wrote poetry from the age of 11, and his first novel by the age of 14. He began to sell his stories aged 17. His influences were The Arabian Nights, and he was clearly entranced by fairy-tale realms. He is also influenced by Edgar Allen Poe and the Brothers Grimm as well as the classic Gothic novel Vathek. Interestingly, he loved the decadent poetry of Charles Baudelaire. He translated his poetry from French as Baudelaire in his turn had translated the works of Poe into French. He had a period of ill health. He was a correspondent of Lovecraft and also knew Jack London and Ambrose Bierce. Smith and Lovecraft used the strange names and ideas they conjured in mutually influenced stories. This 'open source' was Lovecraft's greatest gift to horror: he allowed other writers to build on his ideas and so the Cthulhu Mythos was created. Smith was a massively prolific author, but more or less gave up writing in the second half of his life. He then turned back to sculpting and painting. He nursed his mother and father during their final illnesses until finally is father died in 1937. Robert H Howard killed himself in 1935 and Lovecraft died of cancer in 1937. It’s thought that these events may have knocked the love of writing out of him. Smith himself had a heart attack in 1953, but he still married aged 61. He set up house with Carolyn Jones Dorman and took on her children, and they moved to Pacific Grove. He had a series of strokes in 1961, and one finally killed him. I must admit that of the 'big three' Weird Tales writers (Lovecraft, Howard and Smith), I prefer Smith. I found Howard mostly preposterous. The HP Lovecraft Literary Podcast did a reading of Robert E Howard's *Queen of the Black Coast* which had me in stitches. You need to check Chad Fifer and Chris Lackey out. They are very good. I loved Smith from my early teens and I think that the creation of the mythical Provencal region of Averoigne is fantastic. I was mesmerised by this medieval city surrounded by werewolf haunted forests. It was merely a matter of time that I managed to sneak a story in, falsely claiming it as a ghost story. It's not a ghost story, but it is a weird tale and it does contain the supernatural and a bit of murder, so I think it's okay. Smith on occasion intrudes sexual themes, and these are mostly absent from Lovecraft's work and Poe's as I can remember. Let me know if I am missing something here. I could be. It's late. I'm tired. I've been working on sales funnels rather than poetry. Pity. Coincidentally, Smith died the year I was born. That's a pity too. The Maker Of GargoylesThis is a nice story. I love the setting in the made-up French medieval city of Vyones in the haunted region of Averoigne. Apparently Averoigne is based on the real Auvergne region. Lovecraft used Averoigne in one of his stories 'Out of the... Support this podcast

In which HPL writes about space travel, alien life, and the shortcomings of fictional science in a suite of letters to one of the first fans of science fiction: Nils Helmer Frome. These letters were written between December 1936 and February 1937. PLEASE NOTE: During the recording of this episode, Andrew could not recall the name of the man with whom J.B.S. Haldane corresponded, and referred to him repeatedly — and inaccurately —  as a "preacher". The man in question was, in fact, Arnold Lunn, who deserved to be better remembered. Andrew regrets his failure in this matter. Music by Troy Sterling Nies. Our thanks to Hippocampus Press for their Letters to F. Lee Baldwin, Duane W. Rimel, and Nils Frome. If you want to get into a complicated discussion between two actually smart people, check out the correspondence between Arnold Lunn and J.B.S. Haldane. Lovecraft didn't care for anthropomorphic aliens like the ones on Star Trek, but our brother podcaster and dear friend Chris Lackey pointed out an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation that explains why so many alien races in that universe look human. It's called "The Chase". Chris and his wonderful wife Rachel Lackey have their own Star Trek podcast that you can check out here!

Rachel has somehow found a lost holiday special for the animated series. And it’s a musical.

Today’s Hook: A shock melting of a glacier sends the party riding a flood wave into an ancient ruin. (by Hjalmar Nordén of @RedMoon_RPG) This episode of Adventure Hook will be of little surprise to those familiar with past shows, as the guys waste no time showing their love of Lovecraft by combining the themes of the Cthulhu Mythos with those of a much less existential threat:  Climate change… Whether envisioning a secret corporate artic drilling facility built on behalf of Arkham Oil to extract some ancient eldritch goo from beneath a newly melted ice shelf… or a post-apocalyptic solarpunk sea/state-walled world where the risen oceans are now fraught with unimaginable dangers for the burgeoning ship-city societies… Aaron and Rob still rarely stray far from the corrupting influences of the Great Old Ones when crafting the details of this episode. In all honesty, both Cthulhu and out of control climate change are ultimately about the slow creep of impending inescapable doom… but of the two, global warming remains far and away the more terrifying… And during one of his many tangents, Aaron regales us with the tale of a daring sea adventure he once undertook with his father which earned them both bonus XP as well as a treasure drop of four fresh lobsters! Banter Topic:  This question was submitted by Patreon supporter Craig Butler who asks:  Hey guys, I've been starting to use the Alphabet of Desire in my own writings and adventures and I'm curious if you have any thoughts or theory on how each point on the holy hexagram relates to the two points it has no natural relationship with? For example Desire is opposite Fear and natural allies with Death and Love; but is there anything general you can say about Desire's relationships with Hate and Life? Or are those interactions just totally based on circumstances? Man, what a great question! And one that took some thinking about, both from a writer’s and from an occultist’s perspective... And so naturally, true to form the Adventure Hook guys did a bit of unpacking on both fronts… so please enjoy yet another installment of Lessons from the Holy Hexagram!  LINKS Adventure Hook (on Patreon) NYCC 2019: DC – House of Horrors Panel Recap (on Horror DNA.com) John Constantine: Hellblazer #1 by Si Spurrier and Aaron Campbell  (SEP190456 releases Nov 27th from DC Comics: Black Label) Episode 17: A Very Lovecraft Christmas (with Chris Lackey of the H.P.

This is a sample episode of our new show In reSearch Of, which I'm co-hosting with Jeb Card.  I hope you'll consider subscribing.  I'm planning to keep the regular IRO episodes free, but offer bonus content for Patreon supporters. This is the pilot episode of In reSearch Of, the show where we watch the original TV show IN SEARCH OF… and consider some of the explanations that the producers chose not to present. In our inaugural episode, we watch the TV Special In Search of Ancient Astronauts, a repackaged cut of a German documentary about Eric Von Daniken's book Chariots of the Gods.  We want to thank Rachel and Chris Lackey for the theme music (And Greig Johnson!). They host the excellent show Rachel Watches Star Trek.  Also, we want to credit Jason Colavito for his excellent research into this and many adjacent topics around the Ancient Astronauts and Ancient Aliens tropes of the past fifty years, including his book:  The Cult of Alien Gods: H. P. Lovecraft and Extraterrestrial Pop Culture (Seriously - check out this link to Jason's article.

This is the pilot episode of In Research Of, the show where we watch the original TV show IN SEARCH OF… and consider some of the explanations that the producers chose not to present. In our inaugural episode, we watch the TV Special In Search of Ancient Astronauts, a repackaged cut of a German documentary about Eric Von Daniken's book Chariots of the Gods.  We want to thank Rachel and Chris Lackey for the theme music. They host the excellent show Rachel Watches Star Trek.  Also, we want to credit Jason Colavito for his excellent research into this and many adjacent topics around the Ancient Astronauts and Ancient Aliens tropes of the past fifty years, including his book:  The Cult of Alien Gods: H. P. Lovecraft and Extraterrestrial Pop Culture (Seriously - check out this link to Jason's article.

Welcome back. THAT’S RIGHT, its the second episode in this TWOFER weekend. The next episode will be in a fortnight, but this one is an added extra just to say sorry for not uploading last week as we’d intended (and promised)… right, enough brown nosing!!!! This story is by Robert Bloch, who’s probably best known as the author of Psycho, or, for the HP Podcraft fans out there, being close friend of Lovecraft. This episode jumps around like crazy so keep this years peeled - it’s a simple story of malice, but there’s plenty to take in. To break up the suspense we discuss pointless lies we’ve told in order to impress people, how Trainspotting was the reason my career at HMV took a nose dive and the chocolates we’d pinch first when the selection boxes we’re handed around.

Quiet & Bold is a comedy audio series from creators Greig Johnson and Chris Lackey!

In which we discuss multiple topics: Panelist Rick Lai's recent Robert E. Howard Foundation award nomination for his article "The Secret Son of Bran Mak Morn". In Rick's words, the article "deals with Worms of the Earth, an occult detective series by Jack Mann, Arthur Machen's Little People stories and the legends of fairies under the Earth. Ironically, some of this material ties into Robert Levy's THE GLITTERING WORLD." Plus the feasibility of Lovecraft awards, the upcoming book CTHULHU LIES DREAMING, status update of AUTUMN CTHULHU, and Chris Lackey's new short film THE ORDEAL OF RANDOLPH CARTER. And more!
