Deepest apologies. Those responsible have been sacked. Other topics include many Horus Variants, a Peregrine Falcon PSA, Young Horus as a symbol of hope, a very cool-sounding festival tradition that was probably pretty meh actually, strategic connections to godly iconography, a side tangent about sixth grade social studies, and Horus being a big, fat cheater. Content Warning: This episode contains mentions of and conversations about gun violence, death, and the afterlife. Spoilers for SMITE, Aladdin: King of Thieves, The Mummy Returns, and Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian Learn more about Sandy Hook Promise: https://www.sandyhookpromise.org/DJ and the Plucky Squire bonus episode available NOW on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/musesofmythologyAbout UsMuses of Mythology was created and co-hosted by Darien and DJ Smartt.Our music is Athens Festival by Martin Haene.

This week on the Beyond The Baselines podcast, we welcome Dave Henion, a man who has spent his life immersed in the culture of private members clubs. Dave's journey began as a young caddy at Rolling Hills Country Club in Connecticut, where he learned early on how golf and business often meet on the fairway. From there, he worked his way up — serving as assistant golf professional, head professional, and eventually Director of Golf at some of the country's most respected clubs, including Woodway in Darien, Siwanoy in Bronxville, and the elite Apawamis Club in Rye, NY. After years in club management, Dave transitioned into technology and healthcare, bringing with him the lessons learned from years of member service and operations leadership. Today, he serves as President of Marietta Country Club, where he is focused on bridging the gap between staff and membership and enhancing the overall member experience. In this episode, Dave shares candid insights about the financial realities of private clubs — from the subsidized golf course to the food and beverage losses members actually notice — and why the bond between staff and members is what truly drives satisfaction. He discusses strategies for tee time and tennis reservation management, the competitive nature of member-guest events (including the all-important merchandise “arms race”), and the bold changes he's overseen in both the clubhouse and on the golf course, including the re-turfing project at Marietta. This conversation is packed with perspective from someone who has seen club life from every angle — staff, member, committee chair, and president — and offers a fresh look at what makes a club not just function, but thrive.

INTRODUCTION“I'm sure that everyone reading this book has been touched by the death of a loved one. I have; by the mercy of God, both of my parents died at home in bed. My mother slipped away at night when I was asleep, but I was next to the bed, more than fifty years ago, when my father breathed his last. I watched death in front of my eyes, and in that moment I lost the person who meant more to me than any person on the face of the earth. When it happened, something stabbed my soul, causing me to say: “This is insane. This can't be real. He must merely be sleeping. O God, will he live again?” -R.C. SproulMoments like this leave us asking: Are we really prepared for what's ahead?His disciples faced a similar challenge 2,000 years ago, beginning with a turning point of cosmic proportions with the betrayal of Judas Iscariot.I submit that we should proceed as Jesus led his disciples to on the night of his arrest and the eve of his crucifixion.Bottom line: CONTEXTJesus's disciples are deeply troubled because they have just heard 3 things:One of them will betray Jesus,Jesus is about to leave them and go where they cannot go, and Peter will deny Jesus 3 times that night.On top of all of this, Jesus is still wanted for arrest and likely crucifixion for treason and blasphemy. If they are looking for him, they are likely looking for them as well. They're terrified.OUTLINE (w/ help from ChatGPT)Bottom Line: Because Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, we can trust His promises in the midst of our fears, follow His words, ways, and wisdom with confidence, see the Father clearly, and rely on Him to provide all we need for the mission.1. Jesus Calms Troubled Hearts (vv. 1–3)• Context: Jesus has announced His departure (13:33) and Peter's denial (13:38). The disciples are shaken.• Truth: “Let not your hearts be troubled.” The antidote to fear is faith.• Explanation:• Believe in God; believe also in Me → Jesus calls for the same trust we give to God.• In My Father's house are many rooms → heaven is real, personal, and prepared.• I will come again → the return of Christ guarantees our eternal presence with Him.• Application:• When anxiety rises, put your weight down on His promises.• We don't just long for a place (heaven) but a Person (Jesus).Illustration: A child afraid of the dark sleeps peacefully when she lies next to her parents bed because they are with her.2. Jesus Is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (vv. 4–7)• Thomas: “We don't know where you are going. How can we know the way?” (v. 5)• Jesus' Answer: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (v. 6)• Explanation:• The Way → He doesn't show the way; He is the way. The cross and resurrection open the road.• The Truth → Not one truth among many; the full reality of God revealed in Him.• The Life → Eternal life is only in Him (cf. John 11:25; 1 John 5:11–12).• Application:• In a culture that says “all paths lead to God,” Jesus insists: only one does.• Jesus is not just useful; He is essential.Illustration: GPS apps give different routes to the destination. Some take longer while others are easier. We won't all follow exactly the same way. But we do follow him his way rooted in his truth to true and lasting life.3. Jesus Reveals the Father (vv. 8–11)• Philip: “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” (v. 8)• Jesus' Reply: “Whoever has seen Me has seen the Father.” (v. 9)• Truth: Jesus is the full disclosure of God (cf. Col. 1:15; Heb. 1:3).• Application:• You don't have to wonder what God is like—look at Jesus.• If we're confused about God's character, we must return to Jesus' words and works.Illustration: Like a high-resolution picture bringing clarity where once it was blurry, Jesus brings the Father into perfect focus.4. Jesus Empowers His Followers (vv. 12–14)• Promise: “Whoever believes in Me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do.” (v. 12)• Explanation:• Not greater in quality but in extent—global reach through the Spirit.• Through prayer “in My name,” Jesus continues His work through us.• Application:• We are not powerless—we are prayerful participants in Jesus' mission.• Ask boldly in His name, aligning with His will.Illustration: A relay race—the baton of Jesus' mission is passed on, but with Spirit-powered expansion beyond what the disciples could imagine.Conclusion: Bringing It All Together• When your heart is troubled → Trust His promise (vv. 1–3).• When you wonder about the way → Follow Him as the only way (vv. 4–7).• When you want to know what God is like → Look to Jesus (vv. 8–11).• When you feel powerless → Pray in His name and live on His mission (vv. 12–14).Bottom Line: Because Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, we can trust His promises in the midst of our fears, follow His words, ways, and wisdom with confidence, see the Father clearly, and rely on Him to provide all we need for the mission.CONCLUSIONBottom Line: Because Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, we can trust His promises in the midst of our fears, follow His words, ways, and wisdom with confidence, see the Father clearly, and rely on Him to provide all we need for the mission.INVITATIONWhat about you? Peter puts it all in perspective in his first sermon:““Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.” When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭36‬-‭39‬ ‭NIV‬‬How do we respond?

If peripheral neuropathy feels confusing, start with data, not guesses. Two painless tests can change the conversation. First, Thermal Imaging—a quick scan that maps skin temperature patterns to give clues about blood flow. Second, a Nerve Sensitivity Test—simple checks of light touch and vibration to see how well nerves are signaling.These aren't diagnoses; they're a baseline that helps us talk honestly about next steps—home routines, in-office options, and realistic expectations—before you consider any changes with your medical provider.In today's episode, I'll walk you through what each test shows, who benefits, and exactly what happens during a short visit.Ready to move from worry to clarity?

Series: Signs & GloryTitle: How does Jesus prepare us for what's next?Subtitle: Learning how to shine together in these dark days.Scripture: John 13:18-38 NIVBottom line: Even (Especially) in dark times, Jesus prepares us to shine together.Bottom line 2: Jesus prepares us to shine in the dark together by showing us his love, calling us to love one another, and showing us how to love each other even when we fail.INTRODUCTIONCONTEXTSERMON OUTLINECONCLUSIONNOTESQUESTIONS TO CONSIDER DISCUSSION QUESTIONSMAIN REFERENCES USEDOpening prayer: Lord God, help us grow to be and do like Jesus, while abiding in him and leading others to do the same. INTRODUCTIONOn September 10th, 2025, thousands of people gathered at Utah Valley University to hear Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA and Turning Point Faith. Just 31 years old, outspoken, and unafraid to share his Christian faith — Charlie was shot and killed in front of a live audience. The news has shocked our country. Whatever you think about his politics, the suddenness of it all reminds us how fragile life really is, and how quickly everything can change.Moments like this leave us asking: Are we really prepared for what's ahead?No doubt his death has shaken not only his followers but many of us who are for civil dialogue in the pursuit of truth and better ideas for our future as a nation. How should they at Turning Point proceed? How should we as Americans proceed? Most importantly, how should we as followers of Jesus Christ proceed?His disciples faced a similar challenge 2,000 years ago, beginning with a turning point of cosmic proportions with the betrayal of Judas Iscariot.I submit that we should proceed as Jesus led his disciples to on the night of his arrest and the eve of his crucifixion.Bottom line: Even (Especially) in dark times, Jesus prepares us to shine together.CONTEXTWe've reached a turning point in the book of John not only from public ministry (mix of believers and unbelievers) to private (his followers) but even more so as Judas removes himself from The Twelve leaving the group made up solely of those who have been cleansed by belief in Jesus. We see this happen in verse 31.As a result, and building on his call for them to serve one another, Jesus calls them to love one another as he has loved them. This is the most appropriate response to his cross-centered, obedient love for his Father and for us.These are dark days, no doubt. And it's weeks like this when we feel like they're darker than ever. The question is: Are you prepared and preparing yourself and your household (oikos), your family, your friends, your people--those you do life with?Jesus gives us another example of his love and then sends us out as his ambassadors to shine brightly together in this dark world. How? Well, let's read this and find out.OUTLINE (w/ help from Kent Hughes and ChatGPT)I. Love's Demonstration (18-30)Jesus loved Judas and gave him every opportunity to embrace him then and there.A. The Betrayal Foretold (18-30). Jesus reveals his knowledge of a betrayal by one of his 12 to the group. He loves his betrayer to the end giving him every opportunity to repent and believe. He also expresses his pain in light of Psalm 41.B. Psalm 41:9--Connection to John 13:Jesus applies Psalm 41:9 to Judas. Just as David experienced betrayal from a trusted friend, so does the Son of David.John presents it not as coincidence but as fulfillment of Scripture (13:18). Judas' betrayal shows Jesus is the greater David, suffering the righteous one's fate.Key difference: David prayed for deliverance from his enemies; Jesus embraces betrayal as part of the Father's plan to glorify Him through the cross.II. Love's Demand (31-35)Judas walks in darkness. Jesus willingly let him knowing it will lead to the cross. This willing obedience that will require infinite suffering will bring the Father glory and Jesus glory. It will also bring infinite good to those who trust and follow Jesus.The demand of love is that we love each other as Jesus loved his disciples and loved us.Last week we saw Jesus' love for his disciples exemplified in the washing of their feet. He called them to do this to/for one another. He continues this theme of light and love here.A. The Glory Revealed (31-32)B. The New Commandment Given (33-35) This "new commandment" is an expansion of his old command from Leviticus which said, "Love your neighbor as yourself."Love demands a new object: "one another" and not just your neighbor.BelieversA very diverse group of peopleMasters and slavesJews and GentilesMen and womenRich and poorGay and straightStrong and weakAnd yet the became a community of people held together by their love for God and each other. And this is how people knew they followed Jesus.Love demands a new means: "as I have loved you" not just as you love yourself.While it is admittedly difficult to love your neighbor as you love yourself, it's much more difficult to love others as Jesus loves us. (And maybe even harder to love each other this way)C. The Denial Predicted (36-38) Even our best intentions fail, but Jesus restores us by grace. Our weakness doesn't cancel His mission.III. Love's Denial (36-38) - Even our best intentions fail, but Jesus restores us by grace. Our weakness doesn't cancel His mission.CONCLUSIONBottom line: Even (Especially) in dark times, Jesus prepares us to shine together.King David was betrayed not only by his friend and chief advisor. I mean, you better trust your chief advisor. But he was betrayed by his son. You don't know pain until you've been betrayed by a close family member. (2 Samuel 15-17)“David felt the sting of Ahithophel's betrayal, but his greatest grief was for Absalom, his rebellious son. In the same way, Jesus felt the sting of Judas' kiss, but even more, He bore the grief of a whole world of lost children — and He went to the cross so that rebels could be restored as sons and daughters of God.”When darkness comes, we can hold on to his light and love as seen in:His sovereignty (He knows).His glory (He redeems suffering).His command (love one another).His grace (He restores the weak).Think of a time when you were betrayed. Picture them. Now, think about God's light and love:He knows about that and knew about that before you. He's sovereignly aware.He redeems suffering. He can work grace into your life in and through the suffering you experienced.He commands that you love them instead of hate; to forgive them and find healing for yourself.His grace restores the weak and brokenhearted. His grace is enough for you. Even in the darkest nights, Jesus prepares us not just to survive, but to shine — and to shine together.“Friends, this is how Jesus prepares us for what's next:He knows — nothing surprises Him.He redeems — suffering is never wasted.He commands — love one another deeply.He restores — even our failures can't stop His grace.So what's next for you? Start with loving one another, serving one another, shining together in His light. That's how we walk through dark days — not alone, but with Jesus, and with each other.”INVITATIONWhat about you?

Miskatonic has been a western suburban outpost for great beer with an extremely loyal following for a decade now - and it's due time they get the recognition they deserve. We sit down in Darien with head brewer Cory Davidson and production brewer Mik Dempsey to talk all things Miskatonic, including how they approach brewing such a wide variety of styles with laser-like focus, how branding updates help reflect the beers themselves, what obscure styles they'd like to brew one day, and how they find collaboration partners in both the brewing and music worlds. Also, we talk about contract brewing through their full production brewery, making seltzers for the first time, and both Cory and Mik's picks for their essential Chicagoland six packs.

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) represents a significant and increasingly prevalent complication arising from modern cancer therapies, directly affecting the peripheral nervous system. As advancements in oncology lead to improved patient survival and extended treatment durations, the clinical burden of CIPN continues to escalate, impacting a substantial proportion of individuals undergoing chemotherapy.   The neuropathic manifestations of CIPN are diverse and debilitating, primarily stemming from the degeneration of peripheral sensory, motor, and autonomic nerve fibers. This damage leads to a spectrum of symptoms including profound sensory disturbances such as numbness, paresthesias, and pain; motor impairments like muscle weakness, balance deficits, and gait unsteadiness; and various autonomic dysfunctions affecting cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, urinary, and sudomotor systems.   Symptoms typically emerge in a characteristic "glove and stocking" distribution, originating in the extremities and potentially spreading proximally. The onset can vary from immediate (hours to days) to delayed (weeks to months) after chemotherapy initiation. A particularly challenging aspect is the "coasting effect," where symptoms can progress or even worsen for months to years following treatment cessation, often becoming irreversible in chronic cases. This chronic neuropathy profoundly diminishes patients' quality of life, compromises their functional independence, and elevates risks such as falls and psychosocial distress.   Despite its high prevalence and significant impact, there remains no standardized preventative or curative treatment for CIPN, underscoring an urgent unmet medical need. Current management strategies are largely focused on symptomatic alleviation and supportive therapies.www.neuropathyct.com203-875-0846This podcast welcomes your feedback here are several ways to reach out to me.

Series: Signs & GloryTitle: “Is Jesus Worth That Much to You?"Subtitle: "Extravagant worship springs from seeing Jesus' infinite worth."Scripture: John 12:1–11 (with parallels in Matt. 26:6–13; Mark 14:3–9)Bottom line: True worship that is worthy of Jesus is costly, humble and lasting because it is the overflow of seeing the worth of Jesus.INTRODUCTIONCONTEXTSERMON OUTLINECONCLUSIONNOTESOUTLINESQUESTIONS TO CONSIDER DISCUSSION QUESTIONSMAIN REFERENCES USEDOpening prayer: Lord God, help us grow to be and do like Jesus, while abiding in him and leading others to do the same. INTRODUCTION“But we have learned to avoid that sort of thing; we say that it just isn't practical to be too bold in the proclamation of the gospel today. In other words, we have embraced expediency. It has been said that the church in the United States of America has been placed on a reservation. We're still allowed to exist; we're still allowed to practice our faith; we're still allowed to pray in our churches. But we are tacitly forbidden from moving off the reservation and into the public square to make public proclamations of faith. For instance, if a Christian is asked to pray at a public event and then prays in Jesus' name, he is almost certain to be excoriated for having the audacity to pray publicly in the name of Christ. We're simply not allowed to do that today.”“But I have noticed that it isn't just secularists who howl when a Christian wanders off the reservation and proclaims the gospel in the public square. Other Christians also make a fuss. Why? Because when some Christians draw the ire of secular society, everyone who enjoys peace on the reservation becomes frightened that they will become targets of the enemy. Many who claim the name of Christ would rather live peacefully on the reservation than disturb the world with the good news.That's exactly what happened in Jerusalem”“ Those to whom God had entrusted the ministry of the truth of His Word compromised again and again so as not to upset the Romans and possibly endanger their positions of prestige. Thus, when Jesus attracted a following, the Jewish leaders said to themselves: “If we leave this man alone, He will stir up so much trouble that the Romans will take action. They'll come after us because they'll see that Jesus is a Jew, and we'll be held responsible for not controlling one of our own. Then our place and our whole nation will be lost. So what are we going to do?” In short, the Jews wanted to prevent Jesus from causing a stir among the people lest they lose their positions of power”John - An Expositional Commentary, R.C. SproulBottom line: True worship that is worthy of Jesus is costly, humble and lasting because it is the overflow of seeing the worth of Jesus.OUTLINE (with help from ChatGPT)Purpose: To challenge believers to examine what Jesus is worth to them—and to act accordingly.I. The Setting for Costly Worship (vv. 1–2)• Context:• Six days before Passover — Jesus' final week before the cross.• Dinner in Bethany, hosted in His honor.• Lazarus, alive because of Jesus, is at the table.• Application:• Worship thrives in a context of gratitude (Lazarus alive) and fellowship (friends gathered).• Do you make space in your life for intentional, focused worship of Jesus?II. The Act of Costly Worship (v. 3)• Mary's Action:• Amount: About 12 oz. of pure nard (worth a year's wages).• Method: She pours it on Jesus' head and feet (harmonizing with Matt. 26 & Mark 14).• Posture: Wiping His feet with her hair — humility, vulnerability, cultural scandal.• Impact: The fragrance fills the whole house.“This was an act of great devotion and humility. We have already seen that John the Baptist declared he was not worthy to untie Jesus' sandal strap (John 1:27). A rabbi's disciple was essentially a servant to his teacher, but he was never required to attend to his master's feet, for that was considered the lowest task of all. When John said he was not worthy to untie Jesus' sandal strap, he was saying he was lower than a disciple. Mary probably felt the same way, but she gladly cleansed Jesus' feet” John - An Expositional Commentary, R.C. Sproul• Application:• Worship that costs nothing is worth nothing (2 Sam. 24:24).• What's your “jar of nard”—the thing of greatest value you would pour out for Him?• True worship is public, humble, and leaves a lasting influence.III. The Objection to Costly Worship (vv. 4–6)• Judas' Complaint:• Claims the perfume should have been sold to help the poor.• Real motive: greed and self-interest (he stole from the money bag).• Principle:• Hypocrisy often cloaks itself in noble language.• There will always be critics when you worship extravagantly.• Application:• Don't let the criticism of others rob you of devotion to Christ.• Examine your own heart: am I defending a lesser priority over the worth of Jesus?IV. The Commendation of Costly Worship (vv. 7–8)• Jesus' Defense:• “Leave her alone… It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial.”• Mary's act is prophetic—she is doing what others will miss after His death.• “The poor you will always have…” — not dismissing the poor, but highlighting the uniqueness of this moment.• Application:• There are moments of obedience and devotion that cannot be delayed—do them now.• Jesus treasures and defends the worship offered to Him.V. The Aftermath of Costly Worship (vv. 9–11)• Crowd Reaction:• Many come to see both Jesus and Lazarus.• Religious Leaders' Reaction:• They plot to kill Lazarus too, because his life is drawing people to Jesus.• Application:• Your devotion may attract some and provoke others.• A transformed life is a powerful witness—but it may also invite opposition.CONCLUSIONBottom line: True worship that is worthy of Jesus is costly, humble and lasting because it is the overflow of seeing the worth of Jesus.Call to Action:1. Examine His worth to you — Do your actions match your beliefs about Jesus' value?2. Bring your “jar of nard” — What is the most valuable offering you can give Jesus today?3. Act while you can — Mary seized her moment; so should you.Closing Illustration:The missionary widow selling her only cow to fund a church roof, or a believer giving up a career for the sake of ministry—and connect it to Mary's act.If Jesus is worth everything, then nothing is wasted when it's given to Him.INVITATIONWhat about you? What is your "jar of nard"?Peter puts it all in perspective in his first sermon:““Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.” When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭36‬-‭39‬ ‭NIV‬‬How do we respond? Answer 2 questions:Take out a card or piece of paper right now. Write down the answer to these questions: What is God saying to me right now?What am I going to do about it? Write this down on a sheet of paper. What I hear you saying, Lord, is ___________________.[my name] is going to believe/do __________________________________________________ as a result.Finally, share this with your Home or Mission group this week when you gather as a testimony about what God is doing in your life. You don't have to get too specific to give him praise.Lord's Supper, 1 Cor 11:23-26 is good passage.Also, say something like, "Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again." (past, present, and future)PrayNOTESPassion Week Travel TimelineFriday (before sunset)Jesus travels from Ephraim (John 11:54) toward Bethany.Arrives before Sabbath begins at sundown.Likely stays with Lazarus' family or nearby.Saturday (Sabbath)Daytime: Rest and worship (no long travel).After sunset (end of Sabbath): A dinner is held in His honor (John 12:2).Mary anoints Jesus (John 12:3, Matt. 26:6–13; Mark 14:3–9).Sunday (Palm Sunday)The next morning, Jesus rides into Jerusalem in the Triumphal Entry (John 12:12–15).“But we have learned to avoid that sort of thing; we say that it just isn't practical to be too bold in the proclamation of the gospel today. In other words, we have embraced expediency.It has been said that the church in the United States of America has been placed on a reservation.

Because when some Christians draw the ire of secular society, everyone who enjoys peace on the reservation becomes frightened that they will become targets of the enemy. Many who claim the name of Christ would rather live peacefully on the reservation than disturb the world with the good news.That's exactly what happened in Jerusalem”“ Those to whom God had entrusted the ministry of the truth of His Word compromised again and again so as not to upset the Romans and possibly endanger their positions of prestige. Thus, when Jesus attracted a following, the Jewish leaders said to themselves: “If we leave this man alone, He will stir up so much trouble that the Romans will take action. They'll come after us because they'll see that Jesus is a Jew, and we'll be held responsible for not controlling one of our own. Then our place and our whole nation will be lost. So what are we going to do?” In short, the Jews wanted to prevent Jesus from causing a stir among the people lest they lose their positions of power”Excerpt From John - An Expositional CommentaryR.C.
