Even in seasons that feel dark or uncertain, hope is never out of reach. God's plan is bigger than what we can see in the moment, and His faithfulness continues to shine through every circumstance. True peace is found not in changing conditions, but in trusting the One who holds all things together. When we listen for His voice and follow His lead, we discover security, purpose, and lasting hope.

In this episode of The Leader's Notebook (Ep. 312), I explore the profound tension between the natural and the supernatural in the life of Jesus. From His miraculous conception in Luke 2 to His post-resurrection promise of the Holy Spirit in Acts 1, we see how God's power flows through ordinary human life. Jesus was fully God and fully man—born as a baby who cried, ate, and struggled like any other child, yet capable of performing resurrection miracles and empowering His disciples to witness to the ends of the earth. This message invites us to embrace both the ordinary and the extraordinary in our own lives, living in the Spirit with humility, boldness, and obedience. Even in leadership, true influence comes not from human strength but from yielding to God's supernatural power. – Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - The Leaders Notebook(00:00:25) - Jesus' Birth and His Baptism(00:05:21) - Christmas Story(00:10:24) - The God of the Ugly(00:16:46) - The Struggle Between the Natural and the Kingdom(00:22:28) - The Power of the Supernatural(00:27:58) - The kingdom against kingdom(00:29:46) - The Tension Between the Natural and the supernatural

Hey, Scuttlebutt listeners. Thank you for joining us and for your continued support. This week, we bring you another installment of Semper Cinema with our review of the 1970 made-for-TV movie, Tribes. Full disclosure, we chose this movie because we wanted to break the Semper Cinema paradigm and veer a bit off our normal course to go with a movie we knew was less than stellar. And Tribes does not disappoint. Aired as the ABC Movie of the Week, it is basically a boot camp movie, starring Jan Michael Vincent of Airwolf fame and Darren McGavin, probably most famously known for playing the dad in A Christmas Story. And although we have our criticisms, it did well, earning three Emmy Awards and ranking as the #8 boot camp movie by Screen Junkies. Tribes clearly influenced some of the more significant Marine Corps movies of the 80s and 90s, but for us, it mostly influenced us to not recommend portraying Marine Corps boot camp in a made-for-TV format. But as always, we have fun with it. Enjoy! The post #241: Semper Cinema – Tribes first appeared on Marine Corps Association.

Part of what I love to do with this podcast is highlight some voices that often get overlooked. Cultures that are often pushed to the margins of influence in the Church but have so much to offer us. Today I'm speaking with Terry Wildman. Terry is the Lead Translator of the First Nations Version of the Bible. Currently there is a New Testament and Psalms and Proverbs available. And the Old Testament is currently being developed. Terry is a man with native ancestry who grew up in Michigan, was saved during the Jesus Movement, and became pastor early on in his life. What's fascinating about Terry's story is he wasn't exposed to the history of indigenous people until later in life. That knowledge led him down a path of decolonizing his faith, becoming a missionary to native peoples, and learning how to disentangle what is the way of Jesus and what is not. This is a deep conversation. Some hard topics. Difficult history. But a challenge we all need. Topics Covered: Terry’s journey of discovering his Native ancestry and culture Why what we’ve learned about Indians in American history is wrong Why we need exposure to indigenous Bible interpretation What makes unity between Native Peoples and the church challenging in our political moment What Christians in America can do today to help Native people Why we need to decolonize the Bible The history of Native Bible translation Terry’s favorite Indigenous names for God the Father and Jesus Christ Why native people view their tribes through the lens of a matriarchal, rather than patriarchal system Resources Mentioned: Show Sponsor: Planning Center First Nations Version: An Indigenous Translation of the New Testament First Nations Version: Psalms And Proverbs Reading the Bible on Turtle Island: An Invitation to North American Indigenous Interpretation One Church, Many Tribes: Following Jesus the Way God Made You by Richard Twiss Rescuing the Gospel From the Cowboys: A Native American Expression of the Jesus Way by Richard Twiss Birth of the Chosen One: A First Nations Retelling of the Christmas Story by Terry Wildman Everything You Wanted to Know About Indians But Were Afraid to Ask Show Sponsor: This episode is brought to you by Planning Center, helping you sync all your ministry details across your whole church. Planning Center has become so essential to how I manage a team, that it's almost impossible to consider local church ministry without it anymore. Today, I want to leave you with a PCO pro-tip. Does this sound like a familiar situation? It's the end of the week. You're about to leave the office when you suddenly think: Did all of our volunteers confirm for Sunday? You scroll through the schedule and sure enough—there's a gap. Instead of allowing yourself to spiral into a panic, try this: In Services, Planning Center has gap alerts. Turn them on, and you'll get a heads-up days before service if positions are still unfilled or unconfirmed. No more end of the week scrambling. Speaking of less scrambling, did you know you can access everything you need for rehearsals right from the Service media player on your phone? Lyrics, chord charts, arrangement notes—it's all right there, so you're not hunting for files in the middle of hitting those power chords. To see what else you can do to make your Sundays easier, go to planningcenter.com/blog.

Have you ever felt like you’re faithfully showing up — but nobody sees it? In this episode of the Bible Moms series, Kate and Rebecca dive into one of the most overlooked women in the entire Bible: Anna the Prophetess (Luke 2:36-38). She only gets three verses. She’s never in the Christmas pageant. And yet every single detail Luke includes about her is loaded with meaning most people have never seen. Anna was a widow from the tribe of Asher — one of the ten “lost” tribes of Israel — who spent decades fasting and praying in the temple. And on one ordinary morning, a young couple walked in with their baby and Anna recognized something no one else in the room could see. This episode is for every mom, grandmother, and woman of faith who is showing up faithfully in a season that looks like nothing is happening. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER: Why Anna’s father’s name (Phanuel = “Face of God”) is one of the most stunning details in the New TestamentThe hidden meaning of Anna’s name — and its powerful connection to Hannah in the Old Testament What it means that she was from the tribe of Asher — a tribe most people had forgotten existed Why her age (84) is not a random number — and what it represents about all of God’s people How 400 years of prophetic silence makes Anna’s story even more extraordinary The women throughout church history who changed everything from overlooked, unofficial places — Monica, Susanna Wesley, Perpetua, and Felicity What new Barna research reveals about women in the church right now — and what Anna says directly to it Why the most powerful thing you can do is stop waiting for permission and be faithful in the space God has already placed you in KEY SCRIPTURE Luke 2:36-38 THIS EPISODE WILL RESONATE IF YOU’RE: In a waiting season and wondering if your faithfulness matters A mom who feels unseen or undervalued — by the church or by life A grandmother or older woman wondering if your decades of faithful prayer still make a difference A young woman trying to find her place in the church Anyone who loves digging into the hidden depths of Scripture SHARE Share this episode with a woman in your life who needs to hear:Your ordinary faithfulness is not ordinary to God.

On this episode of Exclusively Van Halen, we dive into an article spotlighting three Van Halen songs that helped define—and dominate—the 1980s. From Eddie Van Halen's mind-blowing guitar wizardry to the band's explosive mix of hard rock and pop hooks, there's no question Van Halen had the entire decade in a headlock. Whether you lived through the '80s or discovered them later and became obsessed, these are essential tracks every fan needs to know. First up, “Hot for Teacher.” It may have only reached No. 56 on the Billboard charts, but its music video became an instant '80s classic. Featuring a cast that included Yano Anaya (the bully from A Christmas Story) and a Miss Canada runner-up, the video followed younger versions of the band and a nerdy kid named Waldo through a wild fantasy high school—bikini-clad teachers and all. Controversial? Sure. Iconic? Absolutely. Between the over-the-top visuals, cheeky lyrics, and Eddie's blazing guitar work, it's pure Van Halen magic. Then there's “Unchained,” a powerhouse track from the 1981 album Fair Warning. With its swagger, attitude, and unforgettable riff, it stands as one of the band's heaviest and coolest moments. Eddie's use of the MXR M-117 flanger helped give the song its unmistakable sound, while producer Ted Templeman later called it the perfect example of Van Halen being “a heavy metal band with a sense of humor.” Raw, loud, and unforgettable. And of course, you can't talk about songs that took the '80s by storm without “Jump.” Van Halen's biggest hit ever broke new ground with its synth-driven sound and uplifting energy. Set in the bright key of C major, it felt like nothing the band had done before—yet it still delivered that unmistakable Van Halen punch. Eddie's one-take guitar solo seals the deal, soaring right alongside those legendary keyboards that hook you from the very first note. Three songs. One band. Total '80s takeover.

We've all been given a gift we never actually used—left unopened, set aside, or appreciated only in theory. There's a difference between a gift being offered and a gift being truly received. The same is true with Jesus. Salvation is freely given, but it must be accepted. God extends grace with open hands, but He doesn't force it into our lives. As Pastor Bill will remind you today, proximity to truth isn't the same as possession of it. So don't just admire the gift of Jesus; truly receive Him.

This week on Common Folk, Ben, Morgan, and Andy ask a big question: who are boys supposed to look up to today? From classic movie icons like Rocky to the absence of modern-day role models, the crew dives into masculinity, media, and why the “Trad Dad” might need a comeback — with or without Hollywood's help. Along the way, they take a nostalgic trip through films like A Christmas Story and the original Predator, reminding us what shaped past generations.Show Notes and LINKS ⬇️https://barnowl.tech/

St. Isaac the Syrian does not allow us the comfortable fiction that we can want less than everything and still be safe. His words strip away a thousand modern compromises. To say I only wish to escape Gehenna but not to enter the Kingdom is for him a form of madness. There are not three places. There are two. To fall short of the Kingdom is already to enter the place of loss. Hell is not merely fire but exclusion. It is the outer darkness of having turned away from the Face that was offered. The tragedy is not that we were punished but that we did not desire enough. This is why the spiritual life cannot be treated as damage control. We are not here merely to avoid catastrophe. We are here to be transfigured. Christ did not come so that we might barely survive eternity but so that we might shine as the sun in the Kingdom of the Father. Every half hearted approach to faith is therefore a refusal of glory. It is not humility. It is fear disguised as prudence. Isaac calls us to a hunger that dares to want everything God wants to give. From this flows his severe counsel about silence and withdrawal. He is not condemning love of neighbor. He is defending the integrity of the heart. If a man seeks to heal others while losing his own clarity then his charity has become a form of self betrayal. A clouded mind cannot give light. A weakened conscience cannot give strength. To remain in constant exposure when one is not yet stable is not heroism. It is negligence. Isaac insists that the first obedience is to guard the sanctuary of the heart. When the heart is healthy it teaches without words. When it is sick even holy words become hollow. Here he shows something deeply uncomfortable for our age. Being seen is not the same as being holy. Being useful is not the same as being whole. One can be busy for God while drifting away from Him. To be far from men in order to be with God is not selfishness when it preserves the soul. In time such a life benefits others more than any speech because it radiates truth rather than merely talking about it. This leads to Isaac's terrifying diagnosis of how corruption begins. The devil does not start with fornication. He starts with vainglory. He offers the sweetness of being admired for virtue. It seems harmless. It even feels spiritual. Yet the moment the mind steps out of its refuge to taste this praise the door is opened. What begins as spiritual self regard becomes sensual fantasy. What was once clear becomes confused. The fall is not sudden. It is incremental and therefore more deadly. One indulgence prepares the next. The first passion creates the conditions for the second. The remedy is not endless argument with thoughts. Isaac is blunt. To wrestle with passions once they have filled the imagination is already to be weakened. Images and idols are stamped upon the mind. The heart loses its simplicity. The truer strategy is to outrun them by remembrance of virtue and God. When the soul turns immediately toward what is pure and beautiful the invading thoughts find no place to lodge. They depart without leaving a trace. Everything in these pages converges on one demand. We must want God more than our safety more than our reputation more than our consolations and more than our sins. The Kingdom is not won by those who merely avoid falling but by those who run. To hold anything back is already to drift toward the outer darkness. To give everything is to begin even now to shine. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:02:12 Fr. Charbel Abernethy: Humility Real? - how heart react when another wounds us Is our understanding of the Kingdom and its light childish or rooted in mature faith Do we desire the kingdom or look for an in-between state Do we teach others before we are healed? Enemy is subtle - vainglorious to focus on sin or temptation. Should focus on virtue. Resolve and labor tied together Virtue must be practiced otherwise we are like a fledgling without feathers Humility, fervor, tears can be lost through negligence Affliction should ultimately give way to hope.

Episode 19 of Matt Likes Beer features a seasonal-yet-technical deep dive into Fragile, an Italian-style Pilsner from Heist Brewery in Charlotte, North Carolina. Named after the iconic “Fra-gee-lay” moment from A Christmas Story, this 4.5% lager uses Saphir hops and dry hopping to create a crisp, modern take on a growing craft beer substyle. Matt explores his history with Heist Brewery through Tavour, noting that while he's enjoyed their beers before, this is his first experience with Fragile—and his first Italian Pilsner reviewed on the podcast. He also takes time to highlight Heist's wide-ranging tap list, touching on the brewery's diverse approach beyond the IPA-heavy norm. Because Italian Pilsner isn't a standalone BJCP category, Matt walks listeners through how to properly judge it using BJCP's suggested entry guidelines, evaluating the beer as a 34B Mixed-Style Beer with a German Pilsner base plus dry hopping. The review covers clarity, head retention, hop expression, bitterness levels, mouthfeel, and balance—along with a candid critique of BJCP's notoriously difficult website navigation. Fragile earns a 36 out of 50 (Very Good), matching the previous episode's score but illustrating an important distinction: judging to style versus drinking for enjoyment. While Matt finds the beer slightly restrained for a dry-hopped pilsner in competition terms, he makes it clear this is a beer he would happily order multiple times in a real-world setting—especially as a meal-friendly, refreshing lager with depth. With no beer reviews to roast, the episode closes with a festive twist: Matt reads brutal one-star reviews of A Christmas Story, turning the beer's name into an excuse for some unexpectedly dark and hilarious holiday commentary.

Super Harris 10 Percent True EP80 P1In this wide-ranging and unvarnished conversation, retired USAF two-star General “Super” Harris explains how U.S. military acquisition and flight-test culture has changed since the end of the Cold War—and why he believes those changes are dangerous. Drawing on decades as an electronic warfare officer, developmental tester, squadron commander, and instructor at Test Pilot School, Harris lays out a four-stage framework charting the consolidation of defence contractors, the erosion of developmental and operational testing, the rise of concurrency, and today's push toward “DevOps at the front line.” Using real examples—from the F-22's infamous International Date Line failure to bomber weapons integration and modern naval systems—he argues that skipping test and accepting immature systems risks lives, credibility, and deterrence itself. It's a candid, insider warning about how great powers lose their edge, and why testing still matters0:00 Support the channel0:37 Intro teaser4:09 Welcome back Super – framing the episode – Developmental/Operational testing today11:36 The Military Industrial Complex and Eisenhower's mic drop15:42 the F-111 gone so EF-111 suffers by association – TPS graduate with nowhere to go!

Shattered lives and costly obedience grow our ultimate hope in the power of grace. That's the key lesson from the pages of the gospel of Luke this week. As we continue unpacking the Gospel of Luke, let's now turn our attention and focus on Jesus, as herald and incarnation of Heavenly Sacrifice and Compassion. Jesus' story begins with unimaginable humility: leaving heavenly glory for earthly struggle. More than anyone, He embodies sacrifice, compassion, and perseverance—not born merely to live, but to die for others' benefit.Luke's narrative is not just history—it's an invitation. We, too, are “on stage,” living between difficult circumstances and challenging relationships. Stephanie reminds us that faith means pressing on, pressing in to Christ, and pressing up — seeking God's will, letting go of self-sufficiency, and finding our identity as beloved, grace-soaked children. The ultimate lesson is that our brokenness and struggles, when surrendered to Christ, become pathways for God's love and glory.Don't forget to check out the accompanying workbook to enhance your experience of the Gospel of Luke! Go to https://www.gospelspice.com/luke Key Takeaways:Patience and obedience often coexist with disappointment and struggle.Faith isn't about having it all together, but about surrender and trust when life shatters our expectations.God uses ordinary, broken people to fulfill extraordinary purposes.Our deepest security is in relationship with God, not circumstances.Success means being in God's will—today.We invite you to check out the first episode of each of our series, and decide which one you will want to start with.Go to gospelspice.com for more, and go especially to gospelspice.com/podcast to enjoy our guests!

This Christmas, we're delighted to bring back one of our most beloved conversations with Enneagram Three, pastor, and author AJ Sherrill. In this replay, AJ joins me to revisit the Nativity story—not as the sentimental tale we often breeze past each year, but as a rich, multilayered narrative pulsing with mystery, courage, vulnerability, and divine surprise. AJ shares his own journey into spiritual direction, what it's teaching him about listening, presence, and compassion, and how the Enneagram continues to shape his inner world. We explore why the season invites us to slow down, pay attention, and resist the frantic pace that so easily numbs our capacity for wonder. Together, we dig beneath the familiar Christmas imagery to uncover the often-misunderstood characters who surround the manger—the homeowner who offered radical hospitality, Zechariah rediscovering awe through silence, and even Herod, whose shadow side has more to teach us than we might expect. Their stories echo our own desires, fears, and growth edges in striking ways. We also have some fun speculating about the Enneagram archetypes present in the Christmas narrative—Mary, Joseph, John the Baptist, and others—and how their unique postures toward God can inspire our own transformation. This episode is thoughtful, illuminating, and sprinkled with the kind of laughter and honesty that always seems to show up when AJ is with us. A perfect listen for Christmas Day. Settle in, take a breath, and join us as we rediscover the story beneath the story—and the God who meets us there.

Tonight we're doing something a little different here on Sasquatch Odyssey. We're setting aside the witness interviews and the evidence analysis and the investigative reports, and instead we're gathering around the fire to tell a story the old fashioned way. This is a Christmas tale about a young Sasquatch named Thorn who has spent the autumn watching a human family from the treeline above their mountain cabin.He's fascinated by their laughter, their warmth, their strange rituals of carving pumpkins and roasting marshmallows and dragging trees inside their homes to cover them with lights. His kind has always kept their distance from humans, but something about this family calls to him in ways he doesn't quite understand. On Christmas Eve, when the teenage daughter Emma leaves a plate of cookies on the porch railing and looks up toward the treeline with a knowing smile, everything changes. Thorn makes a decision that will alter the course of his life and theirs. What follows is a journey through a blizzard, an impossible winter rose, a lost little boy named Jacob who followed what he thought were Santa's footprints into the storm, and a rescue that bridges the vast distance between two worlds that were never supposed to meet. Pour yourself something warm, dim the lights, and let the snow fall as we journey deep into the ancient Appalachian hills for a Christmas Eve you won't soon forget. It' s suitable for listeners of all ages and makes for perfect holiday listening with the whole family gathered close. From all of us here at Sasquatch Odyssey, we wish you a Christmas filled with magic, kindness, and the reminder that you are never truly alone. Keep your eyes on the treeline, friends. And maybe leave a little something on the porch tonight, just in case.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

Elvis Presley loved the Memphis singer Johnny Ace. Johnny died long before Elvis' became the King of Rock ‘N' Roll and the way in which Johnny Ace died was as tragic as it was violent. It involved a game of Russian roulette, a greedy and dubious rock ‘n' roll impresario, BB King, Big Mama Thornton, Little Richard, and a killer conspiracy and music history myth in desperate need of busting.

Each response to interruption reveals something profound about our own leadership, our spiritual formation, and the God we serve.Pete invites you to consider:What interruptions are coming your way right now?Are you resisting, ignoring, or receiving them?And what practices can help you stop, listen, and respond like Mary did: “May it be to me as you have said.”This episode is a vital listen as we enter the holidays and close out the year. God is still interrupting lives—and He may be trying to get your attention.

Eggnog is one of the strangest holiday traditions we have — a creamy mix of eggs, milk, spices, and often a splash of rum. Yet people look forward to it every December. Where did this unusual drink come from, and how did it become tied so closely to Christmas? We start with the surprising history behind this centuries-old holiday concoction. Source: https://time.com/3957265/history-of-eggnog/ Chances are you have a favorite Christmas movie — White Christmas, It's a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Story, Home Alone, or one of dozens of others that seem to define the season. Film historian Jeremy Arnold, in collaboration with Turner Classic Movies, has chronicled the backstories behind 30 beloved holiday films. He joins me to reveal the little-known details, production tales, and cultural trivia that shaped some of the most iconic Christmas movies ever made. He is author of Christmas in the Movies: 30 Classics To Celebrate the Season (https://amzn.to/3GzDZ3S). If you feel stuffed-up, sneezy, or irritated during the holidays, your Christmas tree may be the culprit. Real trees can carry mold spores and other irritants that trigger allergy-like symptoms. We explore why this happens and what you can do to minimize the problem — without giving up the tree.

After a run in theaters, the plan is to release it on both traditional streaming services and gaming platforms like PlayStation, Xbox and Steam.
