From the series ‘What is God like?'What do we mean by calling God a “trinity”? Claire Lynch looks at the essence of one God as loving relationship, and explores how people have tried to express or explain this. Jesus talked about it in terms of his Father and his Spirit. If we can relate to God through knowing and trusting Jesus, can we do the same? What difference can it make to our lives to know that we are part of God's loving relationship with creation?Find pictures and resources for this talk at https://www.severnvineyard.org/sunday-talks-bloglist/2025/3/1/trinity-overflowing-love-by-claire-lynch-2-march-2025

When people in churches disagree, is there anything we know that should unite us? Owen Lynch looks at how Paul addressed believers who were becoming divided over personalities, leadership, ideas and practical issues. The believers and leaders were diverse, surprisingly inclusive to many. Was the answer to change that? Or was the cross of Christ uniquely powerful and necessary to unite people?Claire Lynch brings a “Lectio Divina” meditation on these words, taken from Paul's letter to the Colossians:The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible.He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.

From the series ‘What is God like?'When we form pictures in our minds, does God have a gender? Claire Lynch looks at the history of people forming views on this, and considers the range of Bible references to God which might seem more male or female in different places. The talk concludes with time for meditation for you to notice what comes to mind in response to the Bible's descriptions of God. Could fresh images of God help you relate to God better?

Are we born broken or blessed? Claire Lynch looks at how teaching about “original sin” developed, and how the Bible tells a different story about God, the nature of life and the original goodness and blessing God gave to his creation, overflowing from his own goodness. Could we have misunderstood this because we've been brought up to seek rewards for things we have done well, and ended up believing we need to work our way towards perfection? What difference could it make for us to believe that God already loves, blesses and sticks with us, no matter what?

On this episode of the Noobs and Knockouts podcast, we wrap up in 2012 TNA, as we get the results of the paternity test! As you can tell from the title, things get messy. This is Austin's greatest troll job ever. Also on this episode, we get our final update on the 2012 Bound for Glory Series! Hopefully Bully Ray doesn't win or get close or anything....It's also Open Fight Night for the 75th time, and this time it's TNA vs Aces and Eights for the first time! Open warfare! Which mostly means a lot of walking around and the bikers not doing anything. But Hulk Hogan is back! Joy. Won't you join us?

A very eclectic collection of the varying shades of bluegrass in this episode, almost as many colours as in an artist's blue palette. Lou Reid, Norman Blake, Jeremy Stephens, Jean-Luc Leroux, the Lonesome River Band, Frank Solivan, the Whitstein Brothers, Bluestone, Claire Lynch, Jim Mills – something for everyone. Enjoy!

How does God speak to us today, and how can we helpfully share this? Claire Lynch looks at what the Bible says about prophecy in the lives of people who follow Jesus, and what we have learned about this from experience and practice in sharing.

Formerly 10-05-22 - Paul T with Claire Lynch.

What is hell, and where have we got our ideas about this from? Claire Lynch looks at the stories and images in the Bible that relate to this, and how people in the Bible, including Jesus, communicated by referring to concepts that were meaningful and resonant with their audience. These included ideas drawn from Hebrew and neighbouring cultures, and were quite different from the imagery which became common to describe hell much later in western culture. Could the ideas of eternal, conscious torment and separation from God be based on misunderstandings or misapplications of the Bible? If so, what can we learn from the Bible, its prophecies, teachings and the words of Jesus to give us a better understanding of what God might do with us when we die?

This week we feature bass player March Schatz.  For anyone who has been around bluegrass music for a while, Mark is no stranger.  Throughout his career he has played with many of the top bluegrass artists.  He started with bands like Tasty Licks and Spectrum and also spent time with Tony Rice, Tim O'Brien, Nickel Creek and Claire Lynch.  Most recently he has been out on the road with Bela Fleck as part of the My Bluegrass Heart tour.  

On this episode of the Noobs and Knockouts Podcast, we return to 2012 TNA, where AJ Styles is shirking his responsibilities as a father to be by running off to Australia, so Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian are throwing Claire Lynch a baby shower! Do the right thing, AJ, please. Save us from this angle. Also on this episode, the accusations against James Storm continue to pile up, the BFG series continues in its confusing glory, and Madison Rayne is winning matches via screwjobs because she's screwing Earl Hebner's job. Won't you join us?

In a bonus episode for Easter, Bern Leckie and Claire Lynch discuss the different views available in the Bible on the meaning and purpose of Jesus' death, as well as his resurrection and what these mean for us.We could regard the whole business as mystery, or pick a clear and simple explanation. One which is widely shared is "penal substitutionary atonement", the idea that Jesus had to die to take the necessary punishment from God that our sins deserve.There are Bible verses which seem to refer to this, but how should we interpret them? What view of God would they give us, and how would we see ourselves and other people, if this were the main reason for what happened to Jesus on the cross?Bern and Claire also look at other ways that scholars through history have made sense of Jesus' death and resurrection, and how this may also have looked to people at the time of Jesus with little or no knowledge of Jewish theology, but who are still found responding to Jesus' death in the gospel accounts.The meaning of Psalm 22 is also considered. It starts, "My God, my God, why have you foresaken me?" and Jesus is recorded as saying those words on the cross. Had God really turned away because of our sin? Or does the rest of Psalm 22 tell a different story? Bern and Claire suggest reading or listening and praying this through, not just to understand but also see where we might relate to it.

Jesus died on the cross and rose again, but why? Can the way this makes a difference to people be summed up in one simple, shareable idea? Claire Lynch continues her talk about the different ways this is described in the Bible, and why focusing on only one of them can distort our views of God and each other. The ideas of sacrifice and covenant are rich in meaning and hard to grasp in full, but can growing our understanding of them help to grow our sense of God's love for us and what God wants to do with us?

Good news - Jesus' life, death and resurrection helps us to restore good relationships with God - but how does this work? Claire Lynch looks at different ways of explaining this which emphasise different parts of the Bible and might serve as helpful pictures or analogies. But it's also possible that too much stress or reliance on one picture will distort our view of God and his character. Can we gain something from these pictures while also keeping our eyes on Jesus to understand what God is really like?

On this episode of the Noobs and Knockouts Podcast, we return to 2012 TNA for more baby momma drama. AJ Styles swears he doesn't remember spending a night with Claire, but Claire has the pictures! And they don't really make her look good, tbh. Also on this episode, it's Open Fight Night again, so it's all BFG all the time. Plus, a rematch between Austin Aries and Bobby Roode, and the Aces & Eights continue to be a menace. NO ONE IN CHARGE, ANYTHING GOES. Won't you join us?

What does it mean to have a relationship with God, and what should we expect from one? Claire Lynch looks at the way mistaken ideas about someone's character can misshape our relationship with them, and how important it can be to learn what someone is really like through an authentic relationship. God made us in his image, giving us the capacity for relating to him, as well as reflecting his character and representing this in our relationships with people. What aspects of God's character would you most like to show more in your life? The talk concludes with a reflection about this, including an illustration listing these qualities of God: loving, generous, self-giving, kind, forgiving, faithful, patient, self-controlled, good, honest, trustworthy, gracious, and compassionate.

I had a weekend of live music – some of it is represented in the songs I've selected, and the usual eclectic selection of bluegrass from many sources makes up the programme. Claire Lynch, Po' Ramblin' Boys, Dark Hollow Bluegrass Band, Sassafras and the Grascals are just some of the bands featured.

On this episode of the Noobs and Knockouts Podcast, we head back to 2012 TNA to continue the Claire Lynch arc. I mean, the secret is revealed, the Not-Affair was just AJ and Dixie helping Claire with her drug addiction, story should be about wrapping up, right? Right? Also on this episode, we get the ever confusing adventures of the BFG Series, a long rambling history of TNA Gut Check, more Bruce Pritchard and Al Snow we could ever wish for, X Division debuts, Austin Aries shirtless, and a tag title rematch. Won't you join us?

Did you know there's a surprising way you can feel happier, right away, right now? Claire Lynch looks at the power of thankfulness, including its proven ability to make us feel more satisfied, while also improving our relationships when approached in certain ways. It's also a major theme in the Bible, part of healthy personal and community life with God. Claire concludes this talk with a ten-minute "examen" reflection to help connect our experiences, relationships and hopes with thanks, goodness and God.

On this episode of the Noobs and Knockouts Podcast, we head to 2012 for the first episode in our Claire Lynch arc. Dixie Carter and AJ Styles are TOTALLY NOT HAVING AN AFFAIR, even though everyone thinks they are and all the evidence points to that and Dixie and AJ keep talking around the issue as if they are. But it's so, so much sillier than that. Also on this episode, it's Open Fight Night, where all the BFG Series people fight each other, Bully Ray being the worst, Brooke Hogan tries to be an authority figure, a Gut Check match, bad hotel wifi, and getting noise complaints! Won't you join us?

This week we feature guitar master Jim Hurst.  Our October 2023 cover story artist is Missy Raines.  Jim and Missy have worked together as members of Claire Lynch's band and also as a duo.  We talk with Jim about guitar pickin', various aspects of his career and his work with Missy Raines.

This week we feature singer, songwriter and band leader Claire Lynch.  Our October 2023 cover story artist is Missy Raines.  Claire and Missy have a history of working together in Claire's band.  We talk with Claire about her career in bluegrass music and about having Missy in the band.  She also tells us what she has been up to lately in her relatively new home country of Canada.

American Drive, the Get Down Boys, Michelle Nixon, Claire Lynch, Hot Rize, John Reischman & the Jaybirds all feature on this episode, along with a tune from Doc Watson with Flatt & Scruggs, a banjo tune from Jim Mills, and the Gibson Brothers to round it all out. What's not to like?

A variety of bluegrass styles here, including music from Blue Highway, Claire Lynch, Monroe Crossing, the Peter Rowan Bluegrass Band, and Sawmill Road. There's some fine picking from Norman Blake, some classic bluegrass from Marvin Howell and the Franklin County Boys, the Lonesome River Band, and a great starting tune from yours truly, recorded back in 1976.

This episode is a ‘tribute show' for the great Jesse McReynolds who died 23 June 2023, aged 93. The influence of his ‘brother' duo, Jim & Jesse & The Virginia Boys, has been immense for bluegrass music. Jesse was the lead singer, a stunning mandolin player who developed his own style of mandolin playing that is difficult to emulate, a fine song-writer and great band leader. His legacy is huge. This show features Jim & Jesse and the Virginia Boys, Carl Jackson, Raymond McLain, the Hamilton County Bluegrass Band, and High Fidelity, all playing Jim & Jesse songs and tunes. We've also got a new track from the Kody Norris Show, and songs from Claire Lynch, Rhonda Vincent and Matt Leadbetter.

It's the summer of 2012, the ill-fated Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD is released, in the WWE they are about to celebrate the 1000th episode of RAW, but in TNA, they're about to dive head first into soap opera territory. This is episode 272, The Claire Lynch Project!

Sierra Hull won her fourth award for Mandolin Player Of The Year at the IBMA conference in fall of 2022, a feat that would not have been within her grasp in the not-too-distant past. Now, women like Sierra Hull, Natalya Weinstein of Zoe & Cloyd and the group Della Mae can and do receive the recognition that women before them, like Becky Buller and Claire Lynch, worked so hard to put within their reach. We welcome all these artists to this episode where we tackle the question of what it takes to be a leading lady in bluegrass. Their answers reveal an array of challenges but also a number of positives about being a woman in a scene that has come a long way just in the past decade. This episode has two parts: first, we hear from Sierra Hull about everything from coming up with a mentor like Alison Krauss to becoming a mentor herself, to how she is never satisfied as a musician and how that has made her push her boundaries, and what she has in store for a very busy year. Then, we hear from our other guests about the question of overcoming hurdles and finding their place in the spotlight. Sierra Hull at the convention center in Raleigh NC during the IBMAs in October 2022 Songs heard in this episode:“The Last Minute” by Sierra Hull, from 25 Trips“Poison” by Sierra Hull, from 25 Trips, excerpt“Bulgar Sigansky” by Zoe & Cloyd, from Songs Of Our Grandfathers, excerpt“Didn't Die” by Becky Buller, from ‘Tween Earth and Sky, excerpt“The Day That Lester Died” by Claire Lynch, from Crowd Favorites, excerpt“Peg Monster” by Della Mae, from HeadlightThanks for listening to this episode, and I hope you might tell someone you know about the series.

It's our best books of 2022, one of our favourite episodes to record as by this point we've done all the hard work of reading, now it's time to sit back and consider which, of all the books we read in 2022, were our very favourites. That might be a new release or it might be a backlist gem. We've also got the books that got us through difficult moments, the books that made us laugh or cry, and the ones we recommended and gave to friends. As we're nothing if not critical we've got some books that didn't quite live up to our expectations before we finally crown our top three books of 2022.  As snow falls gently around the shed, the fairy lights twinkle, the mulled wine is warm, and we discuss our favourite reads of 2022 with regular special guest, journalist Phil Chaffee. Books mentioned are listed below, but if you want to be surprised look away now. Book recommendations for Best Books of 2022 Favourite new release: Laura loved TRUST by Herman Diaz, Phil's favourite (with also-rans The Marriage Portraitby Maggie O'Farrell and Love Marriage by Monica Ali) was THE SECRET LIVES OF CHURCH LADIES by Deesha Philyaw, while Kate loved SEVEN STEEPLES by Sara Baume (with honorable mentions Housebreaking by Colleen Hubbard and Briefly: A Delicious Life by Nell Stevens) Favourite backlist title: Phil picked THE BETROTHED by Alessandro Manzoni (with also-rans The Blackwater Lightship by Colm Toíbín, and Beware of Pity by Stefan Zweig). Kate loved The Homemaker by Dorothy Canfield-Fisher but her favourite was O CALEDONIA by Elspeth Barker. Laura went for WIVES AND DAUGHTERS by Elizabeth Gaskell. Favourite non-fiction reads: For Kate it was THE PALACE PAPERS, Tina Brown's engaging examination of the British royal family and our collective fascination with (or indifference) to them. Kate's also-rans were Fall by John Preston (did Robert Maxwell fall or was he pushed?), 4,000 Weeks by Oliver Burkeman (if we did but have the time to discuss it) and Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake (book everyone says is great turns out to be great). Laura only reads non-fiction when her book club forces her too, but luckily she did end up reading CASTE by Isabel Wilkerson, a book that changed her view of the world within the first fifty pages. Phil loved Putin's People by Catherine Belton and Not One Inch by M.E. Sarotte, but his overall favourite was THE RED PRINCE by Timothy Snyder. Favourite Book Club reads. Top of the pile for Laura was MICHEL THE GIANT by Tété-Michel Kpomassie while Phil preferred EIGHT MONTHS ON GHAZZAH STREET by Hilary Mantel. Kate loved The Heart is a Lonely Hunterby Carson McCullers but her ultimate choice was LIGHT PERPETUAL by Francis Spufford Favourite comfort reads: For Phil it was EITHER/OR by Elif Batuman; he now only wants to read books narrated by her protagonist Selin. Laura escaped to a creepy Swiss hotel with THE SANATORIUM by Sarah Pearse while Kate sank into the arms of old friend E.M. Delafield with THE DIARY OF A PROVINCIAL LADY. A book that made us laugh or cry: For Kate it was A HEART THAT WORKS by Rob Delaney. Phil enjoyed THREE MEN IN A BOAT by Jerome K. Jerome (in audiobook form read by Hugh Laurie). Laura loved Small by Claire Lynch and The Sentence by Louise Erdrich, but her final choice was THE BREAD THE DEVIL KNEAD by Lisa Allen-Agostini A book we pressed on a friend: Runner-up for Phil was We Don't Know Ourselves by Fintan O'Toole but his favourite was THE FREE WORLD by Louis Menand. Laura's pick was THE SIXTEEN TREES OF THE SOMME by Lars Mytting Books we read that didn't quite live up to our expectations: THE ABSOLUTE BOOK by Elizabeth Knox promised much for Laura but ultimately didn't deliver. Phil really didn't get on with A LITTLE LIFE by Hanya Yanigahara (and has *really* thought about why) and for Kate LIBERATION DAY by George Saunders didn't quite meet the soaring heights of his other books. Overall Book of the Year: Laura's standout was THE TREES by Percival Everett. Kate loved After Sappho by Selby Wyn Schwartz and The Door by Magda Szabó but her overall favourite read was LONESOME DOVE by Larry McMurtry. Phil meanwhile loved the Elena Ferrante Neopolitan quartet, but his overall book of the year is, as mentioned earlier, THE FREE WORLD by Louis Menand. A few other books we mention in passing: Golden Hill by Francis Spufford The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon Babel by R. F. Kuang A Place of Greater Safety by Hilary Mantel Utopia Avenue by David Mitchell The English Understand Wool by Helen DeWitt The Little Library Parties and The Little Library Christmas by Kate Young Find full shownotes and links to related podcast episodes at our website thebookclubreview.co.uk, where you'll also find a transcript and our comments forum.

Nashville-based husband-and-wife duo Mike T. Lewis and MaryBeth Zamer, known on stage as The Twangtown Paramours, have made a name for themselves defying boundaries with their award-winning catalogue of Americana, folk, and blues anthems. With a slew of accolades for their first two acoustic full-length albums, they've earned a loyal following, balancing serious instrumental and vocal chops with witty stage banter and a lighthearted approach to life. They don't take themselves, or the world, too seriously. Now poised to release their third full-length album, Double Down on a Bad Thing, The Twangtown Paramours are shifting gears to showcase a full band, electric, groove-oriented, upbeat, soul-infused, and retro blues sound. “We want people to have fun, to cheer up, to dance, and to start sporting a positive attitude, dammit,” says Mike. Hit songwriter, session musician, and producer Mike Lewis was born in NYC, but his sound is informed by a mix of experiences across the country's major music centers, including NYC, L.A., Austin, and Nashville. He began learning classical and jazz guitar at age eight, studying under Leonid Bolotine, William Matthews, and Barry Galbraith, before earning degrees at Columbia in New York City and the Grove School of Music in Los Angeles. He wrote a #1 platinum pop hit ranked the 2nd biggest-selling female ballad of all time in Korea, and occasionally plays upright bass for Jimmie Dale Gilmore. Born in Washington D.C., lead singer MaryBeth Zamer was raised on a mix of opera and American songbook music, singing along to Dean Martin and Ella Fitzgerald, before discovering Little Feat, Bonnie Raitt, and the blues in high school. A fixture in the Washington, D.C. club scene for years, MaryBeth performed with popular local cover band, Ignition and sang backup vocals for Eva Cassidy's band, Method Actor. “Eva was a huge influence on my singing style,” MaryBeth says. “She taught me to go beyond having fun and hitting the right notes, to sing in a way that conveys real emotion.” MaryBeth and Mike met and started dating in 2009, while both were working on separate musical projects. “The relationship came first,” says MaryBeth, “but I kept hearing songs he'd written that I loved, and I wanted to add my own vocal spin to them. I felt like I could interpret and deliver Mike's songs the way he intended them to be.” The Twangtown Paramours released their debut self-titled album via Inside Edge Records just a year later in 2010, a well-received, pop-infused folk album that rose to #11 on the Folk charts. In 2012, they released their second full-length project, The Promise of Friday Night, a narrative-driven, acoustic folk album that hit #2 on the Folk charts, #150 on the Americana charts, and #7 on Deep Roots Magazine's top 50 albums of 2012. In the following years, the pair became three-time finalists at the Kerrville New Folk Competition in Kerrville, TX and winners of the Wildflower Contest in Richardson, TX. They also had the honor to open for major acts such as Joe Ely, Claire Lynch, and Jimmie Dale Gilmore.

Immersed in the bluegrass scene since the early 1980s, Jon Weisberger has enjoyed success in multiple aspects of the music business and community.  As a music journalist, his work earned him two International Bluegrass Music Association awards, as well as the Charlie Lamb Award for Excellence in Country Music Journalism, while his resume as a bluegrass broadcaster includes more than a dozen years as producer and co-host of the popular SiriusXM Bluegrass Junction show, “Hand-Picked With Del McCoury.  As a bassist, Jon spent more than 17 as a member of both Chris Jones & the Night Drivers (with whom he recorded seven albums) and the Roland White Band (whose 2018 all-star Tribute To The Kentucky Colonels he produced), while making appearances on stage or in the studio with a variety of other artists ranging from Country Music Hall of Fame member Tom T. Hall to Jim Lauderdale, Pam Tillis and bluegrass Hall of Famers Hazel Dickens, Del McCoury and Alice Gerrard.  Today, he serves as an A&R Director for the Crossroads Label Group, while producing a growing group of artists that includes Carley Arrowood, Aaron Burdett, Fireside Collective, the Alex Leach Band, Unspoken Tradition and the award-winning collaborative series, Bluegrass at the Crossroads.Still, Jon is best known as one of bluegrass music's most prolific and widely recorded songwriters.  In 2012, after a year in which more than two dozen of his songs were recorded, he was named the IBMA's first Songwriter of the Year.  His songs have appeared on 5 Grammy-winning bluegrass albums, including 4 of the past 5 recipients, and on another 5 nominated projects.  To date, he's credited with more than 200 cuts by the Night Drivers (including multiple #1s); the Infamous Stringdusters; the Travelin' McCourys; the O'Connor Band; the Del McCoury Band; Billy Strings; Thomm Jutz; Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver; Balsam Range; Blue Highway;Sierra Hull; Jim Lauderdale; Joe Mullins & The Radio Ramblers; Lindsay Lou; Carley Arrowood; the Danberrys and more.  Jon released his first album of his own songs in 2008 (If This Road Could Talk), and followed it up in 2014 with I've Been Mostly Awake; both albums featured a stellar list of players and co-writing guest singers ranging from IBMA Male Vocalist of the Year Shawn Camp to IBMA Female Vocalists of the Year Dale Ann Bradley and Claire Lynch to Americana favorite Kim Richey.  In 2018, he and banjo player Justin Hiltner issued Watch It Burn (Robust Records), an entire album of co-writes that featured backing from a dozen young musicians, including award-winning guitarist Molly Tuttle; the duo have a second project—a bluegrass gospel EP—slated for an early 2022 release.  Learn more about Lyte.  Hosted on Acast.
