Title: Introduction to 2 Thessalonians Text: 2 Thessalonians Scripture Intro: [Slide 1] Turn in your bible to 2 Thessalonians chapter 1. After spending several weeks dissecting 1 Thessalonians thought by thought, it would be good for us to review what we have learned. However, Paul kind of does that for us with his follow up book to the Thessalonian church, called 2 Thessalonians. So rather than do a review sermon, we'll continue on to Paul's second letter to this church. Now I don't want you to get the impression that 2 Thessalonians will be boring or merely a rehashing of all that we've already learned. In fact, this letter takes what we've seen already and adds to and expands upon it. And of course, as is our custom with smaller books like this, after I introduce it, we will read through the entire letter so we can see all that Paul says in 1 reading. But before we dive in to all the details about this book – let's take a moment to ask the Lord to be with us as I introduce this book to you. [Slide 2] Series or Two Independent books? Since the books have so many related themes, and since many elements of this introduction are repeated from 1 Thessalonians, one might wonder why I chose to introduce the two books separately. Similarly to 1 and 2 Peter, 1 Thessalonians is fairly lacking for discrepancies or differences of opinion regarding authorship, date, and occasion. But 2 Thessalonians is another matter entirely. We'll get to some of these discrepancies very soon. But it should be said as a reminder that these letters are certainly NOT two independent books. Not only were they written to the same audience, but they were probably written within months of each other, as we'll discuss in a moment. And as we've said, many of the themes opened in 1 Thessalonians are elaborated on or at least mentioned in 2 Thessalonians. We should very much view them as we view 1 and 2 Corinthians. They are two letters which build on each other and address issues a particular congregation faced in a particular point in time. Of course, since the bible is living and active, even though the original audience received the letter this way – we not only receive the same message when we put ourselves in their shoes and see it through their eyes, but we also gain more layers of spiritual insight and understanding since we have the entire and completed revelation of God to us in the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments. Throughout our study I will endeavor to see from the text what the Thessalonians saw – but not stop there. We must see how this message fits with the whole context of the Scriptures and how the themes of all the scriptures pour into this letter. But let's start unpacking some of the things that are… disputed. [Slide 3] Authorship: One of the first items the early church councils considered when deciding whether or not a book should be received as Scripture is whether or not it was written by a trusted member of the early church community. This is one of the reasons that the book of Hebrews was one of the last to be received, because the human author remains unknown. That being said, who is the author of 2 Thessalonians? Early church fathers and biblical scholars up to the mid 1900s had always almost universally accepted that the words written in verse 1 are accurate and that Paul the apostle wrote both the first and second letter to the Thessalonians. Both letters also include Silvanus and Timothy as authors. We dealt with the topic of co-authorship in our introduction to 1 Thessalonians. We settled on Paul being the primary writer or dictator of the writing, but with Silvanus also called Silas and Timothy making contributions along the way. But in the mid 1900s a few scholars began turning the tide of historical opinion concerning Pauline authorship. Paradoxically the modern arguments against Pauline authorship conclude that 2 Thessalonians is both too similar to 1 Thessalonians and also that it is too different. In the too similar category, some scholars say that themes and structure are reproduced in 2 Thessalonians so well, that what we have is less likely a second letter and more likely a letter written at the same time but to a different audience. Or perhaps a letter written later by a different author adopting the persona of Paul, attempting to not stray too far from what he had already said. In the too different category, we mainly find the argument that the eschatology in 1 Thessalonians points to an immanency of Christ's return, as though it could happen any time, and in 2 Thessalonians we find an eschatology that points to things that must happen before Christ returns. However, when we analyze the similarities and differences, we are not forced to conclude that Paul did not write this at all. In fact, it seems quite far fetched to come up with these explanations. It is much easier to conclude that the similarities center around the author addressing the same purpose around the same time. And the differences can easily be explained by understanding how we humans tend to pendulum swing and need to be taught two sides in order to keep us where we should be. As an illustration, the differences we see in the letters are guardrails to keep us on the road. The similarities are the destination we are traveling toward. When all is said and done, it becomes quite clear that there is no reason to doubt Paul being the author of this book. So, who is the original audience? [Slide 4] Original Audience: Well, let's look at the red arrow on this map. Thessalonica is a city situated on an ideal natural harbor on the Thermaic Gulf of the Aegean Sea. Four major Roman roads intersected at the city. Thessalonica became the capital city of the province of Macedonia in 168 BC and served as a vital place of trade and political activity in Macedonia. It was also classified as a free city, given the right to govern itself under the Roman Empire. It was to this city that Paul fled after being poorly treated in the city of Philippi by those who employed a slave girl infected by an unclean spirit of divination. Paul exorcised the demon and left her masters with no way of continuing to make money. So, they rose up and made it a racial issue citing that they were trouble makers because they were Jews. Paul and Silas were beaten without a trial and imprisoned. They were released because of their status as Roman Citizens but the city magistrates begged Paul and Silas to leave. So, they traveled 100 miles south to Thessalonica. In our intro to 1 Thessalonians we dealt with the discrepancy of Luke recording in the book of Acts that Paul's visit to Thessalonica was only 3 weeks, when both these letters seem to indicate that the visit was longer. We explained this by simply pointing to the fact that Luke was not particularly interested in clearly indicating chronological specifics. And in Acts 17 there is actually plenty of room in the language to account for a month or even a few month's stay in the city before they were run out. Paul and Silas were forced to flee to Berea. This brings us to the occasion of 1 Thessalonians. Paul had pastoral concern for the fledgling church and from Athens (The blue arrow on the screen) he sent Timothy to them to check on them while he went on to Corinth (The green arrow on the screen). When Timothy and Silas arrived in Corinth, joining Paul, that is when Paul wrote to the Thessalonian church the first time. So, what prompts Paul to write again to this church and when does he write? [Slide 5] Occasion: What is happening in Thessalonica What is happening in Thessalonica that prompts Paul to write this letter? Throughout the first letter, we noted that the Thessalonians had endured some affliction and persecution. No doubt from friends, family members, and the community as a whole seeing their abandonment of the pagan gods as a threat to the safety and prosperity of the entire city. What is clear from the very outset of 2 Thessalonians, is that this persecution has rekindled. We are not given specifics, but it is safe to conclude that being ostracized and shunned is no longer the ceiling of persecution they are experiencing. Indeed, if we remember from 1 Thessalonians, Paul warned that believers are ordained to suffer for the name of Christ. It is actually part of our destiny to suffer for Christ's sake. 2 Thessalonians then is MORE focused on providing comfort and encouragement to a church experiencing heavier persecution from outsiders. But there is also a lingering issue of idle busybodies infecting the church and a lingering misconception about the Day of the Lord. So when did he write this? [Slide 6] Date: Because Paul references his time in Athens in 1 Thessalonians as if it were a past event, and because Paul indicates that it was not a long time since they had been with the Thessalonians, we can guess that Paul probably wrote 1 Thessalonians from Corinth. We have archeological evidence of when Gallio served as a proconsul in the city of Corinth, and because Paul has an altercation with Gallio we can reasonably assign a date to the composition of 1 Thessalonians. Gallio was proconsul from AD 51 to AD 52. This gives us a date of right around AD 50-51 for the composition of 1 Thessalonians. But what about 2 Thessalonians? While it is surely possible that Paul could have written this letter years later… several factors support Paul writing this very soon after writing 1 Thessalonians. First, we see that his companions are the same. In Acts we note that Paul is frequently sending his companions on errands to churches they have visited before while he stayed in another city. The fact that Silas and Timothy are still with him and co-authoring this letter, seems to indicate that it is the same setting as 1 Thessalonians. Second, the themes of this letter are so similar, even down to the unruly lazy mooches who are busybodies, that one wonders if the issues endured, why would Paul wait a significant amount of time to write again to address them? Third, in 2 Thessalonians Paul references difficulties he is facing with people who do not believe. Now if Paul is in Corinth, we know that Paul spent 18 months in Corinth. That is the longest he has spent in any city in the whole missionary journey thus far. We also know that although in the early months he did face some problems, once the proconsul Gallio renders his verdict, Paul spends the remainder of his time in Corinth in relative peace. This means that if we do conclude that Paul is writing from Corinth, the problems he faces most likely are early in the ministry there. Which would indicate to us that 2 Thessalonians was written mere months after the first letter. What is his purpose in sending the letter? [Slide 7] Purpose: How Paul addresses what is happening in Thessalonica Paul addresses his concern for this fledgling church as they face a significant uptick in persecution from without and persistent busybodies from within. 1.) The first way Paul addresses what is happening in Thessalonica, is by encouraging them with the assurance of God's justice on those who are persecuting them and the assurance of their being glorified at Christ's return. 2.) Then he desires to assuage some of their fears about the Day of the Lord. Given the persecution, they are afraid that they are in the midst of the Day of the Lord already. Without contradicting what he said in his previous letter, Paul reminds them that there are some events that yet need to occur before the Lord returns. 3.) Finally, Paul addresses once again the lazy busybodies who continue to mooch from the church. He points to his example and encourages them to execute church discipline upon any member who continues to refuse to listen to his instruction on the matter. So, what are some key themes we will see in this letter? [Slide 8] Key Themes: Because of the occasion and purpose of the letter, several themes come to the forefront as major talking points for the apostle Paul. 1.) God's Ultimate Justice 2.) The Glorification of Believers 3.) There seems to be an indication that they are hearing contradictory messages from various sources, some of which are claiming to be Paul himself. 4.) The Man of Lawlessness 5.) [Slide 9] Standing firm on the gospel and holding fast to the things he taught them 6.) Deal a final blow to those who are idle busybodies. Make sure it stops one way or another. 7.) Thanksgiving, peace, prayer, and endurance. [Slide 10] Words and concepts to keep an eye out for: 1.) Righteous Judgment 2.) Lawlessness vs. Righteousness 3.) Chosen 4.) Traditions [Slide 11] Theological Challenges and Spicy Topics 1.) God's Omnipresence and destruction away from his presence. 2.) Eternal destruction to unbelievers or annihilation? 3.) What is the apostasy? 4.) Who is the man of lawlessness? 5.) [Slide 12] Who is the one who holds him back? 6.) God sends a strong delusion? Isn't that lying? 7.) Should we really execute church discipline on people who… a. Are lazy b. Don't follow traditions c. Are busybodies [Slide 13] Outline of 2 Thessalonians I.) Greetings and Thanksgiving for the Thessalonians (1:1-4) a. Greetings in the Lord from 3 companions (1) b. Wish for grace and peace from God. (2) c. Continued prayer of thanksgiving for them. (3-4) II.) [Slide 14] Encouragement against the persecution they face (1:5-2:2) a. God will give them rest and righteously judge those who are persecuting them (1:5-12) b. The uptick in persecution does not mean the Day of the Lord has come. (2:1-2) III.) [Slide 15] Instruction concerning what needs to happen before the Day of the Lord. (2:3-12) a. The Apostasy and the Man of lawlessness must come (2:3-5) b. When will this happen and how does Christ's return relate to it? (2:6-12) c. But this will not happen for those to whom God has chosen (2:13-15) d. Benediction closing out this instruction section (2:16-17) IV.) [Slide 16] Application section for the here and now. (3:1-18) a. Prayer for the evangelists in Corinth (3:1-2) b. Hope for their protection too. (3:3-5) c. Definitively deal with the unruly idle busybodies (3:6-15) d. Salutation (3:16-18) Read 2 Thessalonians [Slide 17 (end)] And with that, I'd like to ask for 3 readers to come up and read a chapter from the book of 2 Thessalonians. It is first come first serve, so the first three to make their way forward to this front pew will get to read. While they come forward to fill the queue, let me pray and ask the Lord's blessing on the reading this morning as well as the study we are about to embark upon.

Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico was pitched as the moderate option yet can't seem to stop shilling for the Left's most controversial social topics. Let's see what he said about trans kids. The Iran War is over. Or it isn't. Or it mostly is, but there's still some of it? We're not sure. Let's see what they're saying. Some people did some thing over the weekend. A Muslim terrorist lobbed a bomb that luckily didn't go off. Western civilization has been dealing with Muslim terrorism for decades, which just goes to show: Islam is incompatible with the West.

In hour one, we've arrived at the biggest week in Hurricanes football in 2 decades. We've definitely learned two things about the Dolphins after yesterday's win. Plus, Mike Cugno joins the show to talk Quinn Ewers and the Hurricanes - Ohio St matchup.

…the bad news is that they can't agree which one. I explained the debate more here, but the short version is: twin studies find that most traits are at least 50% genetic, sometimes much more. But molecular studies - that is, attempts to find the precise genes responsible - usually only found enough genes for the traits to be ~10-20% genetic. The remaining 35% was dubbed "missing heritability". Nurturists argued that the twin studies must be wrong; hereditarians argued that missing effect must be in hard-to-find genes. The latter seemed plausible because typical genetic studies only investigate the genes that most commonly vary across people - about 0.1% of the genome. Maybe the other 99.9% of genes, even though they rarely vary across people, are so numerous that even their tiny individual effects could add up to a large overall influence. There was no way to be sure, because variation in these genes was too rare to study effectively. But as technology improved, funding increased, and questions about heredity became more pressing, geneticists finally set out to do the hard thing. They gathered full genomes - not just the 0.1% - from thousands of people, and applied a whole-genome analysis technique called GREML-WGS. The resulting study was published earlier this month as Estimation and mapping of the missing heritability of human phenotypes, by Wainschtein, Yengo, et al. Partisans on both sides agree it's finally resolved the missing heritability debate, but they can't agree on what the resolution is.

I think we are spoiled by Trump, because he acts fast. Take the drug war, for example.To be clear, I have mixed emotions about what he's doing. That said, what else has worked?Kurt Schlichter said that the US bombed ships trying to bring mustard gas to the US and mustard gas killed no one American.But drugs kill 100,000 Americans a year.Reagan got Nancy to launch, “Just say no!”, as Americans were saying, YES YES YES!We had commercials showing our brains as fried eggs, and drug addicts just asked for bacon!Trump acted. Definitively. Is it working? I don't know. But I know I would get on any boat out of Venezuela for the foreseeable future. And Maduro is in BIG trouble politically, since drugs finance his regime.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

PREVIEW — David Rooney — Rolls-Royce Engines and the 1919 Transatlantic Flight. Rooney describes the 1919 Atlantic crossing attempt, which definitively established Rolls-Royce's reputation as the premier manufacturer of aircraft engines. The company's Eagle and Falcon engines proved vital because they could sustain continuous operation for over 10 hours without requiring refurbishment or maintenance, making them ideally suited for the demanding 20-hour transatlantic journeY.  1921

5/8. As discussed by Professor Eric Cline, the Philistines are definitively identified as part of the Sea Peoples, likely the "Pleset" mentioned by the Egyptians. They settled in five key cities, including Ashdod, Ashkelon, and Gaza. Archaeological and recent DNA evidence from children in Ashkelon shows a mix of local Canaanite and "other" (possibly Aegean/Sardinian/Spanish) ancestry, indicating their descendants were from the original Sea Peoples, confirming their identity and origins. 1ST CE, NAPLES

Definitive Ranking returns! This time around, we're examining the single-player campaign of Metroid Prime Hunters. We cover the good, the bad, and the ugly, as we cover the cool character designs, awesome weapons, lacklustre boss battles, OST, and the make-or-break point of the game: those darn stylus controls! Come play along, and as always, here's the criteria for the Definitive Rankings: World / Atmosphere (the vibe, the setting, the mood) Art Style (design of Samus, the enemies, the graphics in general) Story (what works, what doesn't) Pacing / Progression (are there any parts that really bog the player down, or is it still fun getting lost?) Gameplay / “Gimmick” (what new or different gameplay aspects we like) Items / Abilities (how are the powerups and are they cool and practical) Areas (how does each individual area look, feel, play, etc.) Enemies / Bosses (are they fun, creative, etc.) Expansions / Powerups (are the expansions hidden throughout the world fun, creative, and enjoyable to collect?) Music (are we humming along?) Of course, all of these are subjective, and we're putting our critics hats on, but we want to hear what you have to say on Bluesky!   Visit OmegaMetroid.com!   Subscribe!

The battle of Cynoscephalae represents a key moment in the history of the Greco-Roman world. In this one battle the Macedonian hold over mainland Greece was broken, with the Roman Republic rising in its place as the pre-eminent power in the Greek East. At Cynoscephalae, the proud Macedonian kingdom of Antigonid monarch Philip V was humbled, its army shattered. Yet the battle, and campaign leading up to it, was hard fought and protracted. Philip V had defied Rome and its allies in the First Macedonian War and was poised to do so again, with the pike phalanx continuing to be a daunting opponent for the Roman legionaries.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Definitive Ranking returns! This week, we're examining Milton Guasti's Another Metroid II Remake, or AM2R, the fan game so unbelievably good we can rank it on the same level as official Metroid games! We're going through and ranking it by the same standards as we would an official Nintendo-made Metroid game, talking about the boss inclusions, how Metroid fights could have been implemented differently, some of the crazy expansions, and more! Come play along, and as always, here's the criteria for the Definitive Rankings: World / Atmosphere (the vibe, the setting, the mood) Art Style (design of Samus, the enemies, the graphics in general) Story (what works, what doesn't) Pacing / Progression (are there any parts that really bog the player down, or is it still fun getting lost?) Gameplay / “Gimmick” (what new or different gameplay aspects we like) Items / Abilities (how are the powerups and are they cool and practical) Areas (how does each individual area look, feel, play, etc.) Enemies / Bosses (are they fun, creative, etc.) Expansions / Powerups (are the expansions hidden throughout the world fun, creative, and enjoyable to collect?)

Scripture: Luke 2:22-40 Simeon and Anna were waiting for something big their whole lives. They were waiting for God to keep their promises. When Mary and Joseph brought Jesus to the temple to be consecrated, Simeon knew what he had been waiting for had come to pass. Looking at that little baby's face Simeon was looking at the face of God's long promised, long hoped for, seemingly too long deferred salvation. However, unimaginably or improbably or confoundingly, he knew this baby was Israel's consolation. God kept God's promises to Simeon and Anna, to Israel, and to us. God was saying again and anew, "Let there be light." Salvation is here. Definitively, uniquely, finally. But Simeon said more... And what he said certainly adds complexity to the grand message of salvation. Our daily work is not to save the world. It's too late for that. We are free to put that burden down. Our work from day to day is to be faithful witnesses to the good news of Jesus and to try to stay in step with the Spirit who is still moving.

It's Friday, December 6th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus and Jonathan Clark Pastor charged with converting people through prayer A Baptist pastor in India, Pranjal Bhuyan, who also works as a teacher, was arrested last week in the Northeastern state of Assam following complaints from villagers that he was attempting to convert people through prayers, reports International Christian Concern. Attempting to heal people by praying for them is illegal under the Prevention of Evil Practices Act, enacted in February. This law purportedly wants to create science-based knowledge and a safe environment to protect human health. It also aims to end “evil” and “sinister practices” that lawmakers believe thrive on ignorance and people's ill health. The law criminalizes practices resorting to “magical healing” (prayers) and stipulates a three-year jail term and a fine for violations. Christian leaders believe the legislation is ultimately an attempt to restrict and curb the spread of Christianity in Assam. Pastor Bhuyan now holds the dubious distinction of being the first person to be arrested under this law. According to Open Doors, India is the 11th most difficult country worldwide in which to be a Christian. British young people are advocating for the unborn BBC One aired a documentary last week called “Young, British, and Anti-Abortion.” The film shows the rise of pro-life activism among members of Gen Z. One pro-lifer featured in the documentary was Eden McCourt of Abortion Resistance. She has received over 3.4 million views with her content online. Filmmaker Poppy Jay noted, “These activists are young, and they are in it for the long term. They know they are not going to change anyone's mind overnight, and their strong social media presence is just giving them more confidence. Yes, they might be a vocal minority, but they are effective at getting their message across.” In 1 Timothy 4:12, the Apostle Paul told Timothy, “Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.” Jeff Bezos applauds Trump's attack on regulations, stands by not endorsing Kamala Harris Amazon founder — and Washington Post owner — Jeff Bezos rarely speaks in public. And to get him to talk about politics in public is an even bigger feat. Political commentator Chris Cillizza said that Bezos did both on Wednesday — sitting down with the New York Times' Andrew Ross Sorkin. BEZOS: “If we're talking about Trump, I think it's very interesting. I'm actually very optimistic this time around. He seems to have a lot of energy around reducing regulation. And my point of view, if I can help him do that, I'm going to help him. Because we do have too much regulation.” Bezos suggested an economic growth strategy that would outpace the growth of the national debt. BEZOS: “This country is so set up to grow. If you look at the national debt, and how gigantic it is as a portion of [the Gross Domestic Product], these are real problems, and they're real long-term problems. The way you get out of them is by outgrowing them. “You're going to solve the problem of the national debt by making it a smaller percentage of GDP, not by shrinking the national debt, but by growing the GDP. You have to grow the denominator. That means you have to grow GDP at 3%, 4%, 5% a year and let the national debt grow slower than that. If you can do that, this is a very manageable problem.” In an attempt to appease Trump, Bezos applauded the President-elect's vision to cut regulations. BEZOS: “There are so many advantages here, but we are burdened by excessive permitting and regulation. President Trump is serious about this regulatory agenda, and I think he has a good chance of succeeding.” The New York Times interviewer, Andrew Sorkin, pointed to the blowback that Jeff Bezos received as owner of the Washington Post when he ordered the editorial staff not to endorse Kamala Harris for president and simply remain neutral on the editorial page instead. SORKIN: “Marty Baron, who was your former editor of that paper, he said, ‘This is cowardice with democracy as its casualty.'” BEZOS: “It was the right decision. I'm proud of the decision we made, and it was far from cowardly, because we knew there would be blowback, and we did the right thing anyway.” SORKIN:  “Okay, so let me ask you about that though. There was blowback. I think 250,000 people canceled their subscriptions.” Political commentator Chris Cillizza offered his analysis. CILLIZZA: “He does not want to make an enemy of the incoming president of the United States who has already targeted him repeatedly during his first term. So, I think this is of a piece with Bezos' decision to not run an editorial that, from the Washington Post editorial board, that endorsed Kamala Harris. He defended that decision. He said it wasn't cowardly; it was brave. Look, I think this is, at root, probably a business decision.” Congress definitively concludes COVID-19 came from Wuhan, China lab On December 2nd, the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic concluded its two-year investigation into the COVID-19 pandemic.  They released a final report entitled “After Action Review of the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Lessons Learned and a Path Forward.”  Since February 2023, the Select Subcommittee has sent more than 100 investigative letters, conducted more than 30 transcribed interviews and depositions, held 25 hearings and meetings, and reviewed more than one million pages of documents.  In their 520-page final report, which we have linked in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com, the Select Subcommittee's investigation documents  the five strongest arguments which demonstrate that COVID-19 most likely emerged from a laboratory in Wuhan, China. First, the virus possesses a biological characteristic that is not found in nature. Second, data shows that all COVID-19 cases stem from a single introduction into humans. This runs contrary to previous pandemics where there were multiple spillover events. Third, Wuhan is home to China's foremost Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome research lab, which has a history of conducting gain-of-function research at inadequate biosafety levels. Fourth, researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology were sick with a COVID-like virus in the fall of 2019, months before COVID-19 was discovered at the wet market. And fifth, by nearly all measures of science, if there was evidence of a natural origin it would have already surfaced. Anti-Bible PCUSA denomination has lost a million members And finally, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) released its annual statistics report on Tuesday. The mainline Protestant denomination, which continues to reject Biblical orthodoxy, now has about one million fewer active members or half as many as it did in 2009.  The denomination had 1.094 million members last year, down 46,000 from 2022. Member congregations also declined during the same period.  The mainline denomination's decline comes as it became accepting of sexually perverted lifestyles.  Leviticus 18:22 says, “Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, December 6th, in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

As November comes to a close, so does our month-long coverage on the 20th anniversary of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. To conclude this month of content, we're busting out an old gem from the early days of the Definitive Ranking series - WITH A TWIST! Echoes was ranked before Doominal Crossing joined the podcast, meaning he never got a say on this legendary title. Today, Doom takes the driver's seat to host a mega review along with 3 special guests making their debut on the pod; Doeboy, Trav Guy & ThatMetroidGuy!

With our Echoes of Wisdom playthrough at an end, it's now time to shift focus to the individual characteristics in this game and see how they stack up! First on the docket is definitively ranking the dungeons! We have eight dungeons to get through, so sit back as we go from Suthorn all the way to Null's Body and talk about worked and didn't, with special focus on dungeon items, dungeon echoes, music, puzzles and boss fights!

The latest episode of Chasing Three took us inside the "Ready Room" ahead of kickoff for Nebraska vs UTEP, and Matt Rhule is DEFINITIVELY a terrific speech giver.

Jerod Mayo joins, says Drake May is definitively the backup

It's time to kick it old school with another entry into our Definitive Ranking series, this time, examining the game that started it all: The Legend of Zelda! We're going through ten critical categories that make up the ingredients to a Zelda game – world, story, pacing, art style, dungeons, bosses/enemies, items, gameplay, extras, and music – and assigning them each a score to see how the original game stacks up against all of the legendary entries that came after it! Some of the scores will be no-brainers, while others might leave you scratching your head, so come along and play with us, and of course, be sure to share what you think! All this, PLUS a little movie talk, our favorite NES titles and more! Come hang out with us!   Download!   Support The Zelda Cast on Patreon!
