It was late Friday afternoon going into a holiday weekend, just when everyone should unplug from being online and go about their merry way. And they tried to slip one by us at the PGA of America with a letter to members that Don Rea had been suspended for the remainder of his term. So PJ, Joseph, and Brendan gather for some degenerate hours when they had zero expectation to be online on Friday for a happy hour chat. The Removal of Rea and at the absolute castration of Craig Ranch, where $25 million was spent in part to challenge the pros but scoring is as low as ever with Si Woo Kim almost breaking 60 and Jordan Spieth piling up birdies. Is Lanny Wadkins going to pop off at a soft PGA Tour setup? Will it become a circular firing squad? Would it have been better to light the money on fire? The Boys and Brendan gather to go through these two massive subjects on a Friday evening bonus episode thanks to the breaking news.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If your mind won't stop running tonight, we've got just the thing. In this episode of The Insomnia Project, Marco is joined by returning guest Nidhi Kanna for the kind of warm, wandering conversation that's perfect for insomnia, racing thoughts, or anyone who just needs something gentle to drift off to. No stress, no stakes — just the good stuff.They start where all great conversations start: staring at a wall. Specifically, painting one. Nidhi and Marco get wonderfully sidetracked on the surprisingly fraught world of colours that are easy to commit to and hard to undo — the kind of paint decisions that haunt you in the best possible way.From there, the conversation meanders the way only a sleepcast can — from wall colours to Nidhi's recent trip to Mexico City, taking in the food, the texture of the place, and the very particular pleasure of being somewhere new. And then, naturally, they find their way to the finer things: Nidhi's bougie delights, Marco's bougie delights, and what it really means to treat yourself well.It's the perfect listen for a slow Sunday morning, a Monday morning at work when you want to focus but need a friend nearby, or a Tuesday night that won't wind down, or anyone who loves a good chat about nothing and everything all at once.

This week's pick is the 1980s Don Dolher low-budget horror flick Fiend. A small town is terrorized by a resurrected violin teacher possessed by a supernatural entity that glows red sometimes.

The sermon centers on the profound truth that God's delight in His people is not contingent on immediate deliverance from suffering, as exemplified by Christ's crucifixion, where divine love and suffering coexisted without contradiction. Drawing from Matthew 27:43 and Psalm 22, it confronts the lie that delay or lack of rescue implies divine rejection, affirming instead that God's love is unconditional and sovereign, even in the midst of trial. The preacher emphasizes that true love permits suffering for greater spiritual fruit, that trials often fulfill divine purposes unseen at the time, and that a distorted view of God's affection can chill the heart and hinder intimacy with Him. Ultimately, the resurrection vindicates God's love, revealing that suffering does not negate divine favor, and calls believers to trust God's character over their circumstances, imitating Christ's self-giving love in their own lives.

smaller amount?"Sv: föreslog Sofia.En: suggested Sofia.Sv: Emil syntes tänka efter.En: Emil seemed to think it over.Sv: Han insåg att de kunde använda svampen som en dekoration, en smakbrytning, men låta det andra på menyn förbli oförändrat.En: He realized they could use the mushrooms as a decoration, a flavor accent, while letting the rest of the menu remain unchanged.Sv: De kompromissade, köpte

The hosts revisit early Apple and Mac experiences and discuss first keyboard shortcuts, focusing on "Command Control Power" after a photographer client referenced it while troubleshooting a MacBook Pro that died on location from a drained battery. They debate the proper shortcut key order versus Apple's conventions, recall Apple II shortcuts like Control–Open Apple–Reset, and reflect on floppy-drive workflows and multi-disk backups. The conversation shifts to Apple's attempts to break into business hardware, Steve Jobs' impact and management style, and a perceived reversal where hardware fit-and-finish improved while macOS feels buggier, with annual OS releases and settings moving cited as problems. They note Rapid Security Response/Background Security Improvements placement changes, praise Apple Watch and AirPods, share audience photos and Apple memorabilia, and close with gratitude to Apple, colleagues, and listeners.   00:00 Apple 50th Kickoff 00:27 Shortcut Origin Story 01:08 Photo Shoot Panic 02:17 Shortcut Order Debate 03:27 Open Apple Keys 05:16 Save Changes Shutdown 07:33 Floppy Boot Days 09:02 Apple In Business 12:22 Jobs Magic And Myth 14:03 Modern OS Buggy Era 19:27 Settings Search Problem 23:17 Yearly OS Cadence 26:04 Planned Obsolescence Talk 27:46 Software Sells Hardware 28:07 Mac CPU Transitions 29:12 Snow Leopard Lessons 31:37 Intel Era Reality Check 33:11 Security Updates Moved 34:22 Throwback Mac Photos 35:52 Daily Delight Devices 40:12 Old iPhones and iPods 42:29 Apple Employee Card 44:37 Startup Office Memories 46:13 50 Years of Apple

Faith is one of the most commonly discussed concepts in the whole Bible. Almost every single book of the New Testament refers to it. It's how we begin and continue a Christian life of discipleship. It's so central that the author of Hebrews writes, “It is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.” (Hebrews 11:6). What does faith that pleases or delights God look like? In this message, Pastor Joel tackles that question and talks about how we can focus on Jesus to fortify four legs of a stool of faith and be people who can manage through wavering and being of two minds when trust is required.

What if everything we've been told about education is wrong? In this episode, I sit down with a mom of 15 and a 37-year homeschool veteran to uncover what children actually need to learn—and what might be unnecessary. We talk about the four pillars of true education, the power of simple, effective tools like vintage curriculum, and how kids thrive when given time, freedom, and strong foundations. If you're questioning the school system or looking for a better way to educate your kids, this conversation will challenge and inspire you.

As spring unfolds, I find myself reflecting on what remains, what falls away, and what—over time—returns to nourish us again.In this episode, I share a walk in the woods that took an unexpected turn, along with listeners' questions about using leaves or wood chips in the garden. From there, we explore the benefits of leaf mold versus traditional mulch—how to make it, when to use it, and why it may be one of nature's most generous gifts.With Easter upon us—a season that holds endings and beginnings in the same breath—I also reflect on a personal decision about letting go, inspired by the image of a leaf carried by water.In nature, nothing is wasted. And perhaps… neither are the moments in our lives.Link to the Companion Blog Post: Leaf Mold vs. Mulch & the Lesson of Letting Go 

This week's pick is the 1983 Shaw Brothers horror revenge film Seeding of a Ghost. A cab driver inadvertently curses himself by hitting a sorcerer with his cab. This leads to adultery, assault, murder, revenge, magic battles, and the violent birth of a very rude baby.

Sometimes tending isn't about removing—it's about redistributing, restoring, and making space for what's ready to grow.As winter loosens its grip, early spring invites us to tend—clearing what's too heavy, redistributing what can nourish, and making space for what's ready to grow.In this episode, I share what I'm learning as I step into full groundskeeping—raking matted leaves, supporting soil recovery, and embracing a “tapestry lawn” of violets, clover, plantain, and dandelions.We explore:·         When leaves help—and when they hinder ·         Why clover and “weeds” deserve a second look ·         What Creeping Charlie teaches about balance ·         And how tending the land mirrors tending our lives 

A new MP3 sermon from Truth For Life - Alistair Begg is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Dangers and Delights of Pastoral Ministry Subtitle: Messages from Truth For Life Speaker: Alistair Begg Broadcaster: Truth For Life - Alistair Begg Event: Conference Date: 2/6/2026 Length: 38 min.

According to one Barna study, the average pastor lasts only five years at a given church—often leaving just when, statistically speaking, he would be approaching his greatest period of usefulness. In a world of such short pastoral tenures, what does it look like to minister in the same place for not just years but decades? In this informal talk to pastors, Alistair Begg reflects on his forty-two years of pastoral ministry at Cleveland's Parkside Church, sharing lessons learned about both the dangers and the delights of what D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones called “the most glorious calling to which anyone can ever be called.”

Plus, finding the voice for Sam Raimi's acclaimed new film Send Help, the anxious percussions of Gus Van Sant's Dead Man's Wire, and the sweeping romance of Luc Besson's Dracula — all at the same time.Also, the harrowing moment with Oingo Boingo in concert that led to him ripping off his shirt in live shows to jam with fellow musicians, and the supernatural energies he taps into when he enters peak creativity.Interview by Kenny Holmes and Matt Schrader in Los Angeles.
