Only songs are able to comfort the soul in its darkness—but can anyone hear them? Iman Humaydan's saga Songs for Darkness (Interlink, 2026) recalls the voices of four generations of women from one family in the imaginary village of Kasura, in Mount Lebanon. Its narrator, Asmahan, named after the beloved Syrian singer, has devoted her adult life to recovering the stories of her ancestors, who persisted in the shadows of male supremacy, war, military occupation, and impoverishment. Her mother, Layla, disappeared when Asmahan was still a teenager. Her grandmother, Yasmine, died giving birth. And her great-grandmother, Shahira, struggled through two world wars, famine, and suffocating gender norms to win an education for her children and eke out a better life for her family. Asmahan is determined to protect her daughter and break out of the cycle of intergenerational violence and wounds that the women who came before her suffered. She packs up her daughter to emigrate after a divorce, when her husband takes their son away from her on his seventh birthday, during the darkest days of the 1982 Israeli invasion. These women's legacies span and echo the scarred history of an abused homeland, from the eve of the first World War to the 1982 Lebanon War. In honoring their unfulfilled lives, Iman Humaydan insistently preserves intimate stories of abundant tenacity, generosity, sacrifice—and songs, provisions sorely needed for dark times. A conversation with translator Michelle Hartman Iman Humaydan Yunis is a Lebanese novelist, creative writing teacher, editor, and freelance journalist. Her novels received wide international acclaim and were translated into English, French, Italian, Dutch, German, Armenian, Polish, and Georgian. She is the author of five novels, including B as in Beirut, Wild Mulberries, Other Lives, and The Weight of Paradise, all published in English by Interlink. She is also the editor of the collection of short stories Beirut Noir. She is the president of the Lebanese chapter of PEN, and splits her time between Beirut and Paris. Michelle Hartman is a literary translator and professor of Arabic literature at McGill University. She has translated more than a dozen novels from Arabic to English including three other novels by Iman Humaydan, The Weight of Paradise, Other Lives, and Wild Mulberries. Her latest translation is A Long Walk from Gaza (Interlink, 2024). She has also written on Lebanese women and the Civil War in two co-authored volumes (with Malek Abisaab), Women's War Stories: The Lebanese Civil War, Women's Labor and the Creative Arts (Syracuse UP, 2022) and What the War Left Behind: Women's Stories of Resistance and Struggle in Lebanon (Syracuse UP, 2024).

This week we're talking about that guy again… The 2nd episode focused on EDGUY in another edition of our “Grave Mistakes: They Shoulda Been Huge!!!”. A German power metal band that Kevin affectionately calls “Helloween Jr.”. This episode starts at the peak of their provocative power metal prowess and ends with their evolution to a hard-rocking power glam powerhouse. They did well in Europe and other parts of the world, but we think they Shoulda Been Huge in the States! This episode is rooted in our Should Have Been category. A German band that followed in the footsteps of Helloween, flying the flag of “Power Metal” from the late 90s to 2014. Unfortunately, they were never really recognized to the degree they deserve outside of Europe. We think they SHOULDA BEEEN HUGE… and we are ready to fly that banner proudly! Songs this week include: Edguy - “Mysteria” from Hellfire Club (2004) Edguy - “Superheroes” from Superheroes – EP (2005) Edguy - “Rocket Ride” from Rocket Ride (2006) Edguy - “Nine Lives” from Tinnitus Sanctus (2008) Edguy - “Lavatory Love Machine (Live)” from Fucking With Fire (Live In Sao Paolo 2006) (2009) Edguy - “Pandora's Box” from Age Of The Joker (2011) Edguy - “Love Tyger” from Space Police – Defenders Of The Crown (2014)   Buy cool stuff with our logo on it!:InObscuria Store Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/ https://www.facebook.com/InObscuria https://twitter.com/inobscuria https://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/ Check out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/ If you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/ If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/

As Oscar night comes ever closer, Josh and Andrew travel down the “Rocky Road to Dublin” for the most-nominated film in Academy history, the much beloved (except by Variety) barn-burner Sinners! Getting deep into the hot, sweaty beauty of Ryan Coogler's Delta blues drama/horror mash-up, our hosts praise the film's celebration of Black music, its timely views on racism and cultural appropriation, an Andrew-approved take on vampire lore, and the effortless visual splendor and acting. After, they have One More Thing, recommending another Carpenter-esque horror with the Master's Prince of Darkness and Slidebean's video essay on home video, The Biggest Mistake in the History of Hollywood.Next up, The Take-Up goes under pressure with Disc-Connected's Ryan Verrill to talk about the A24 drama Aftersun. Until then, read on at thetake-up.com and follow us @thetakeupstl on Instagram, Twitter, Letterboxd, and Facebook.

Before God parts the Red Sea, the pillar of cloud and fire separates the Egyptians from the Israelites. On one side is darkness, and on the other is light. Jesus is the light of the world, and one’s response to him determines whether one lives in spiritual darkness or in the light.

Darkness covered the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. 3 God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good. He separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” There was evening and there was morning—the first day. 6 God said, “Let there be an expanse [2] between the waters, and let it separate the water from the water.” 7 God made the expanse, and he separated the water that was below the expanse from the water that was above the expanse, and it was so. 8 God called the expanse “sky.” [3]There was evening and there was morning—the second day. 9 God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear,” and it was so. ⎣The waters under the sky gathered to their own places, and the dry land appeared.⎦ [4] 10 God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathering places of the waters he called “seas.” God saw that it was good. 11 God said, “Let the earth produce plants—vegetation that produces seed, and trees that bear fruit with its seed in it—each according to its own kind on the earth,” and it was so. 12 The earth brought forth plants, vegetation that produces seed according to its own kind, and trees that bear fruit with its seed in it, each according to its own kind, and God saw that it was good. 13 There was evening and there was morning—the third day. 14 God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to divide the day from the night, and let them serve as markers to indicate seasons, days, and years. 15 Let them serve as lights in the expanse of the sky to give light to the earth,” and it was so. 16 God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set these lights in place in the expanse of the sky to provide light for the earth, 18 to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good. 19 There was evening and there was morning—the fourth day. 20 God said, “Let the waters swarm with living creatures, and let birds and other winged creatures [5] fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky.” 21 God created the large sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their own kind, and every winged bird according to its own kind. God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them when he said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the waters of the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 23 There was evening and there was morning—the fifth day. 24 God said, “Let the earth produce living creatures according to their own kind, livestock, [6] creeping things, and wild animals according to their own kind,” and it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their own kind, and the livestock according to their own kind, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its own kind. God saw that it was good. 26 God said, “Let us make man [7] in our image, according to our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that crawls on the earth.” 27 God created the man in his own image. In the image of God he created him. Male and female he created them. 28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 God said, “Look, I have given you every plant that produces seed on the face of the whole earth, and every tree that bears fruit that produces seed. It will be your food. 30 To every animal of the earth, and to every bird of the sky, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning—the sixth day. Genesis 2 1 The heavens and the earth were finished, along with everything in them. [8] 2 On the seventh day God had finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had been doing. 3 God blessed the seventh day and set it apart as holy, because on it he rested from all his work of creation that he had done. The Creation of Man and Woman 4 This is the account about the development [9] of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens: 5 No bushes that grow in the field were yet on the earth, [10] and no plants of the field had yet sprung up, since the Lord God had not yet caused it to rain on the earth. There was not yet a man to till the soil, 6 but water [11] came up from the earth and watered the entire surface of the ground. 7 The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground [12] and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. 8 The Lord God planted a garden [13] in Eden in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed. 9 Out of the ground the Lord God made every kind of tree grow—trees that are pleasant to look at and good for food, including the Tree of Life in the middle of the garden and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. 10 A river went out from Eden to water the garden, and from there it divided and became the headwaters of four rivers. 11 The name of the first river is Pishon. It flows through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold, 12 and the gold of that land is good. Incense [14] and onyx stone are also found there. 13 The name of the second river is Gihon. It is the same river that winds through the whole land of Cush. [15] 14 The name of the third river is Tigris. This is the one which flows along the east side of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates. 15 The Lord God took the man and settled him in the Garden of Eden to work it and to take care of it. 16 The Lord God gave a command to the man. He said, “You may freely eat from every tree in the garden, 17 but you shall not eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, for on the day that you eat from it, you will certainly die.” 18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is a suitable partner for him.” 19 Out of the soil the Lord God had formed every wild animal and every bird of the sky, and he brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called every living creature, that became its name. 20 The man gave names to all the livestock, and to the birds of the sky, and to every wild animal, but for Adam [16] no helper was found who was a suitable partner for him. 21 The Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. As the man slept, the Lord God took a rib [17] and closed up the flesh where it had been. 22 The Lord God built a woman from the rib that he had taken from the man and brought her to the man. 23 The man said, Now this one is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. She will be called “woman,” because she was taken out of man. [18] 24 For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and will remain united with his wife, and they will become one flesh. [19] 25 They were both naked, the man and his wife, and they were not ashamed. Footnotes Genesis 1:2 Or without form Genesis 1:6 Traditionally a firmament Genesis 1:8 Or the heavens Genesis 1:9 The Greek Old Testament includes the sentence in half-brackets. It is not in the Hebrew text. Genesis 1:20 The Hebrew word oph usually refers to birds, but it means “flyers” and can include other flying creatures such as insects and bats. Genesis 1:24 Or domestic animals Genesis 1:26 The rendering of the Hebrew word adam is a key issue in this section. Adam may refer to man, mankind, or Adam. This translation retains the article where it occurs with adam (the man) and retains singular or plural forms of verbs and pronouns according to the Hebrew text. Genesis 2:1 Literally all their armies Genesis 2:4 The Hebrew word toledoth, which is used in the headings of the ten sections of Genesis, is related to the Hebrew root for give birth, but as used in the section headings of Genesis (such as 2:4; 5:1; 6:9, etc.), toledoth seems to refer to the development more than to the origin of the group being discussed. For this reason, in the section headings of Genesis, toledoth is regularly translated account about the development. Genesis 2:5 Literally every bush of the field was not yet on the earth. This wording seems to refer to the time before the creation of plants on day 3, but the context of chapter 2 seems to be the preparation of the Garden of Eden as a special home for man and woman. Some commentators suggest that this verse refers only to the area of the Garden of Eden, which had been left unfinished, but the wide term on the earth does not seem to be a natural way to say this, so this may be a reference back to day 3. Genesis 2:6 A rare word (ed) is used. It may refer to springs or, less likely, to mist. Genesis 2:10 refers to the presence of rivers. Genesis 2:7 Literally as dust from the ground. This means man is still dust and will return to dust. Genesis 2:8 In Hebrew, the term garden includes groves of trees. Genesis 2:12 The meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain. It probably refers to a fragrant resin or a precious stone. Genesis 2:13 In the Old Testament, Cush often refers to the land south of Egypt. Here the names of the third and fourth rivers suggest an area in Mesopotamia, today's Iraq. Genesis 2:20 Here the Hebrew word adam without the article becomes a personal name. Genesis 2:21 Part of his side is a more literal translation than the traditional translation rib. Genesis 2:23 Here the Hebrew word for man is ish not adam. Like the English word pair man/woman, the Hebrew words ish/ishah correspond to one another. Genesis 2:24 Verse 24 may be a continuation of the words of Adam or a comment of the inspired writer. In either case, Jesus recognizes them as part of the divine institution of marriage (Matthew 19:4-5). #top .hr.hr-invisible.av-aocsdx-89cb4ca21532423cf697fc393b6fcee0{ height:10px; } The Holy Bible, Evangelical Heritage Version®, EHV®, © 2019 Wartburg Project, Inc.

Is mindfulness always safe? In this episode of Love Your Love Muscle, we explore a topic rarely discussed in the wellness world: how mindfulness and meditation can sometimes contribute to depressive symptoms. While meditation is widely praised for reducing stress and anxiety, it can also intensify rumination, emotional flooding, dissociation, or unresolved trauma, especially when practiced without proper guidance or regulation skills. This episode isn't anti-meditation. It's pro-safety, pro-context, and pro-intelligent practice. If you've ever felt darker instead of lighter after mindfulness, this episode will help you understand why, and what to do instead.   Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TMGmeditations Follow Seb on Vero True Social: https://vero.co/seb_tmg Follow Seb on Mastodon: https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/@seb_tmg Join the conversation on Telegram: https://t.me/TMGCommunity

In Part 2 of this deep-dive investigation, Jeremiah Roberts and Andrew “Super Sleuth” Soncrant continue their examination of La Luz del Mundo (“Light of the World”) by moving beyond history into the movement's theology and Christology. Joined again by researcher and author Luis Carlos Reyes  @Mopar440HP  team unpacks the doctrinal framework that sustains one of the largest and most controversial apostle-centered movements in the world. This episode carefully analyzes La Luz del Mundo's rejection of historic Trinitarianism, its Oneness-influenced understanding of God, and its redefinition of the person and work of Jesus Christ.  What does LLDM actually teach about the incarnation? How do they interpret the Son of God?  And how does their theology position the “living apostle” as the necessary mediator of salvation in the present age?  The discussion exposes how LLDM's doctrine of “election” reshapes the Gospel itself—placing apostolic authority functionally above Scripture and reframing salvation as loyalty to a man rather than faith in Christ alone. Jeremiah, Andrew, and Luis contrast these teachings with historic Christian orthodoxy, highlighting the theological fault lines that separate LLDM from biblical Christianity.

We have previously examined three forested regions of the United Kingdom, each of which has become a focal point for reports of high strangeness. Cannock Chase brought with it accounts of shadowed figures, cryptids and unexplained encounters. Clapham Wood revealed whispers of spectral entities and deeply unsettling phenomena. Pembrey Forest, outwardly quiet and unassuming, carried its own catalogue of strange sights and unnerving experiences. Now, we turn to another woodland. A forest where reports do not centre on a single apparition or isolated creature, but on a bewildering array of entities, sightings and encounters, spanning generations. This time, we step into the darkness of Delamere.

Today we talk about current events.Also… last chance to order SIGNED Copies of Strange Company and the Wasteland Saga. Thank you.Strange Company Series and The Wasteland Saga Series are ready for ordering SIGNED copies. I do this at specific times because I need to order them in advance, as they are not always available. I'd jump on this if you want SIGNED copies for yourself, or, a gift for a special friend during the holidays or birthdays.These will be SIGNED Copies.I'll be SIGNING the Strange Company Books BUNDLE for $99.99 You get all 3 Books SIGNED for that price.TRIVA: These are beautiful books. The art on the covers is done by three of the most in-demand artists working in SciFi art today. Pascal Blanche (Dune Concept Artist) did Strange Company. Trent Kaniuga (Twilight Monk, Blizzard Diablo 3 Artist) did Voodoo Warfare. And Marc Lee (Coffee and Perspectives) did Hearts of Darkness. I think these are collectors' editions and I hope you take advantage of this offer. I wanted the best artists for the Strange Company, and I think the art adds to the story in an exceptionally satisfying way.I'll also be ordering copies of The Wasteland Saga.I'll be SIGNING The Wasteland Saga Series for $69.99. You get all 3 Books SIGNED for that price.TRIVIA: Artist M.S. Corley conceived and executed a very specific vision of the covers I wanted for The Wasteland Saga books. These were the third edition of the covers. The first, way back in 2011, was a cover I bought from an artist that was expensive for me at the time but didn't necessarily evoke what I wanted. Those were the early days of Indie pub and it was all I had the money for. It was kind of a take it or leave it deal. Then I sold the series to Harper Collins and they basically did a photoshop hack job for the covers. When I finally recovered the rights in 2019 I wanted to do something that evoked the Post-Apocalyptic Hemmingway nature of the books. I have a favorite sketch from Picasso. Don Quixote. I gave an image of the sketch to M.S. Corely and together we came up with covers that finally captured the series. Honestly… they are beautiful pieces of art and I love them even without the books. But that vintage feel they give to the covers of these books is very special to me and makes it feel like it was all worth it, and I am very pleased to offer them to you, SIGNED. These are keepers and I hope you cherish them as much as I do. -Nick This is a public episode.

When evil seems to win, and God feels silent, where is justice? In Judges 9, Abimelech murders his 69 brothers, gets crowned king, and rules for three years while his one surviving brother waits in exile. But God was working the entire time—through unexpected people, mysterious methods, and even the mess itself. This dark story reveals crucial truths about God's sovereignty and justice: He sees every evil, He will make all things right, but He does it in His timing and His way. When you're waiting for justice, remember—God is still in control.This week, our hosts continue their discussion on the book of Judges, some of the talking points were, Gideon's judgeship, God sending the evil spirit, and how God uses something evil for good. Oh and tune into the beginning to hear our hosts talk about freedom, the freedom they had to make some decisions in their younger years that sadly backfired.If you would like to watch the video podcast, find us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMhDfGn0zfzi6XjcKkSVcFAFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/discovertbcInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/topekabiblechurchWebsite: https://www.discovertbc.com/

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #290 Title: Purim—Anticipating Instant Change   Web Description: We can look at what is happening in the world today and feel like darkness is taking over; everything is getting worse and nothing is going to change. But the Scriptures give us a different picture. The Scriptures show us that things can change in an instant, and the story of Esther is a prime example of that. As we celebrate the Feast of Purim this year, let us anticipate that when we come before the King in our intercession, He will reverse the plot of destruction against God's people and turn our mourning into rejoicing.   Show Notes: The book of Esther records that the Jews established the Feast of Purim "for themselves and for their descendants and for all those who allied themselves with them." It was established so that all generations will remember how the annihilation that was determined and already set in motion was suddenly reversed. In an instant their mourning, sorrow, and fear of destruction were changed into a celebration of gladness and a holiday of feasting and rejoicing.   The Feast of Purim therefore is a celebration of instant change. When we celebrate it, we remember that no matter how bleak things are, everything can change in a moment. What could be bleaker than the plot for complete annihilation of the Jews in the time of Esther? Yet the reversal of that plot has been passed down to us as a remembrance that if we enter the presence of the King and bring our need to His attention, He will command the change and by His Word the destruction that is set to transpire will not happen.   As we see today with Hamas and Israel, satan is still set to destroy Israel and the Jewish people. And as we approach the time of the end, we are seeing satan's plot against the whole earth expand from the Jewish people into all humanity in his determination to destroy all flesh. But we also know by Purim and by the examples of the Scriptures that the plan of destruction can be completely reversed in a moment. So we do not let our hope be tainted by the negativity that surrounds us. We celebrate Purim this year with our hope renewed; and that hope is for instant change.   Key Verses:   •       Isaiah 60:1–3. "Darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples; but the LORD will rise upon you." •       Esther 9:20–22. "It was … turned for them from sorrow into gladness and from mourning into a holiday." •       Mark 13:19–20. "Unless the Lord had shortened those days, no life would have been saved." •       Esther 9:23–25. "When it came to the king's attention, he commanded." •       Esther 9:26–28. "The Jews … made a custom for themselves and for their descendants and for all those who allied themselves with them." •       Isaiah 29:5–7. "It will happen instantly, suddenly." •       Isaiah 17:12–14. "At evening time, behold, there is terror! Before morning they are no more."   Quotes:   •       "You can look and say, 'How can this ever change? How can things ever really be restored to the Kingdom of God from the direction that they're going? How could good come out of such evil?' But we must know and understand that it can, and it will." •       "We celebrate before we see. We have a time of celebration as an expression not only of our faith, but our knowing that God can bring about deliverance and change and bring about another purpose and will." •       "This feast was consecrated by Mordecai for us as those who are allies with the Jewish people and with Israel. And so I proudly celebrate Purim, and I am thankful for my inclusion in its celebration."   Takeaways:   1.    Purim is an example of deliverance, repeated many times in the Scriptures, that things can change 180 degrees in just one moment. 2.    We as believers must live in the knowledge and faith that at any second God can move and everything can change. We cannot be tainted by the oppression of this age. 3.    We must never lose the reality in God that in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, everything can be different.   Scriptural Examples of Instant Change:   Purim. Read the book of Esther. Passover. Read Exodus 12 The Famine in Samaria. Read 2 Kings 7 The Resurrection. Read John 19:30—John 20:29   Resources:   Help Israel Now | Interviews From Israel

When the world feels like it's breaking — who will you be? Darkness is real. But so is the light within you. In this Baba Talk by Maetreyii Ma, we explore what it truly means to stand steady in light in dark times. Not by denying anger, fear, or confusion — but by consciously choosing love in difficult times. Through the lens of Yoga philosophy, this talk reminds us that contraction and expansion are part of life. Even in periods of upheaval, there is a deeper current moving humanity toward awakening in dark times. That awakening begins in the heart. You may see greed. You may feel anger. You may judge — yourself or others. That is human. But the greater force is divine love. The greater choice is love over fear. This is a call to embody compassion in turbulent times, not as weakness, but as strength. To be a light in the darkness is not to pretend everything is fine. It is to bring kindness where there is pain. To respond with clarity instead of hatred. To stand firm without losing your heart. Even the smallest act of love matters. Especially now. You are not powerless in dark times. You are the light.

Jesus Tells Us: Follow Me Out of the Darkness Today's Homily contrasts mere compliance with true obedience in the spiritual life, . . . . . . especially during Lent. Compliance is external, minimal, and checklist-driven . . . doing what is required without interior conversion. Obedience, however, is transformative: it allows God's commands to shape the heart, form character, and open a person to charity, generosity, and deeper union with Him. Practices such as prayer, fasting, Sabbath observance, and almsgiving are not ends in themselves. When done only outwardly, they are empty. Their purpose is to redirect the believer away from self-absorption and toward love of God and neighbor, forming a heart capable of mercy. Lent is Thus a Journey Fasting should lead to generosity; prayer should reshape desire; rest should become rest in God, not mere inactivity. This teaching echoes the prophetic call found in the Book of Isaiah. The Gospel image of Jesus calling Levi (Matthew) illustrates this movement vividly. Levi sits enclosed in a tax booth . . . symbolizing the human tendency to cling to security, ambition, resentment, or comfort. Christ's command, “Follow me,” is not a suggestion but a liberating summons to step out of spiritual confinement. Lent is thus a journey of following Christ out of darkness toward the joy of Easter, where He leads His people “home” into communion, celebration, and true rest . . . an invitation also expressed in Gospel of Matthew. Ultimately, salvation may be characterized as entering God's rest: a life no longer ruled by self-will, but transformed into the likeness of Christ through prayer, sacrifice, and charity. Hear more within the Homily.

In this powerful interview, Amanda Ellis joins Emilio Ortiz on the Just Tap In Podcast to explore what 2026 is revealing and why this cycle marks a profound shift in human consciousness. Guided by Archangel Metatron, Amanda shares insights on accelerated timelines, solar and lunar light codes, color frequencies, Christ consciousness, and the collective initiation unfolding now. Together, they unpack why chaos, disclosure, and emotional intensity are not signs of collapse, but catalysts for sovereignty, remembrance, and the emergence of a new human template rooted in heart-led awareness and unity.✦ Learn more about The Deep Dive Membership | https://iamemilioortiz.com/the-deep-dive/This conversation bridges grounded integration with higher-dimensional insight, touching on ego death, planetary shifts, solar activity, and the role of color, sound, and geometry in supporting the nervous system during rapid awakening.

“What's amazing about the book of John is that it's shallow enough for children to play but deep enough for elephants to swim.”-Dr. Gary Burge

Friends of the Rosary,Today, the First Sunday of Lent, presents the scene of the temptation of Christ (Matt. 4:1-4), when Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil after forty days and nights of fasting.The Gospel of the temptation anticipates how the Prince of Darkness will be cast out, and it heralds Christ's victory in advance.Where Adam fell, Christ, the new Head of humanity, triumphs over the power of Satan.The Church proclaims that this victory should be ours also. Our strength is His. His will be our victory at Easter.In this Second Reading (Romans 5:12-19), St. Paul stresses that Christ, through his death, not only conquered sin but also poured out divine grace abundantly on mankind, making us his brothers and, therefore, sons of God.Today, it's also the Feast of the Chair of St. Peter, but it's superseded in most places by the Sunday of Lent.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

"Sin is simply the fruit of idolatry" Jesus declared that his disciples would be his witnesses “to the ends of the earth.” Early Christians lived out this proclamation in powerful and palpable ways. Today we struggle to witness to those close to us, let alone to those at the ends of the earth. This series offers a glimpse into ways early Christians witnessed. Impacted?

Truth Until ParadoxPooka and T.L. Webb crack open Truth Until Paradox, Mage's first fiction anthology. They chat why tie-in stories matter, then speed-tour 17 wildly uneven, very '90s tales—Technocracy vs Traditions, Nephandi schemes, HIT-Marks, odd Wonders, and fan-fic energy.Show Notes Truth Until Paradox (Mage anthology, Feb 1994) - Tucked inside are seven tales from the World of Darkness, a place that looks a lot like our own, except the supernatural is real, and shadowy forces are always moving just out of sight. They've been chosen and edited by Stewart Wieck, the creator of Mage: The Ascension and co-creator of the World of Darkness. Key faves: “Silver Nutmeg, Golden Pair” + “Grim Reminders” (Penny Dreadful) Concepts: Ascension War vibe, coincidental magic, backstabbing, Wonders, Paradox oddities T.L. Webb on Bluesky and Tumblr

Dark winter mornings can feel heavy—quiet, cold, and slow-moving. The darkness seems to linger longer than we want, and without warmth or sunlight, it’s easy to feel unsettled or discouraged. But Scripture reminds us that darkness is temporary. As believers, we are children of the light, and we belong to Jesus—the Light of the World. Even when the day begins in shadows, we can walk forward with confidence because God’s light is always present. Jesus promised in John 8:12 that those who follow Him will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life. Darkness may surround us, but it cannot overcome what God has placed within us. The light of Christ shines stronger than any winter gloom, any emotional heaviness, and any fear that tries to creep in. Just as a candle changes the atmosphere of a dark room, God’s presence changes the atmosphere of our hearts. And one day, darkness will be gone forever, replaced completely by the eternal light of the Lord. Until then, we can face every winter morning with hope—because the light is already here. Main Takeaways Dark winter mornings can feel emotionally and spiritually heavy. Jesus is the Light of the World, and His light never fails. Darkness cannot overcome God’s light. Believers are called to live as children of the light. God’s eternal promise is a future with no night, only His glory. Today's Bible Reading:“When Jesus spoke again to the people, He said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” - John 8:12 Your Daily Prayer Prayer excerpt for listeners: “Light our ways each day and help us to bask in Your light through the dark winter mornings.” Listen to the full prayer here or read the full devotional and complete prayer by visiting the links below.

In this episode, Jeremiah Roberts and Andrew “Super Sleuth” Soncrant kick off a two-part investigation into La Luz del Mundo (“Light of the World”)—one of the largest, most influential high-control religious movements most English audiences have barely heard of. Joined by researcher and author Luis Carlos Reyes, the team traces La Luz del Mundo's roots through early Oneness Pentecostal streams, prophetic offshoots, and the formation of its apostle-centered system—where loyalty to a “living apostle” becomes the gate to salvation.Luis shares firsthand experiences from inside the movement's stronghold, explains how authority is enforced through control and intimidation, and unpacks the doctrine of “election” that elevates the apostle above Scripture and beyond accountability. Along the way, they explore the movement's communal structure, alleged corruption, and the chilling psychological grip that keeps members trapped—often even in the face of abuse. Carlos' YouTube: HERECultish BLOG on La Luz Del Mundo: HERE**The blog is a living article, things are still being added to it.SHOP OUR MERCH: HEREPlease consider subscribing to our YouTube Channel: CultishTV.comCultish is a 100% crowdfunded ministry.
