Today marks the start of the Spanish Civil War miniseries, and true to form I'm going to do some table setting. Today I introduce the conflict, why it was important, and focus in on Spain's imperial experience to explain the long-term conditions that made Spain so unstable.    Bibliography for this episode:  Kamen, Henry Empire: How Spain Became a World Power 1492-1763 Perennial 2004 Elliott, J.H. Imperial Spain 1469-1716 Penguin 2002 Thomas, Hugh The Spanish Civil War Modern Library 2001   Questions?

The sermon meditates on the profound theological significance of Christ's crucifixion as recorded in Mark 15, emphasizing that the darkness, desolation, and death experienced by Jesus were not merely historical events but the supernatural outpouring of God's infinite wrath against sin, concentrated in a few hours upon the God-man. Through vivid imagery and scriptural reflection, it underscores that Jesus bore the full weight of divine judgment—experiencing spiritual and eternal death not as a human but as the sinless Son of God, who became sin for us, enduring the forsakenness of the Father so that believers would never face that abandonment. The tearing of the temple curtain symbolizes the removal of the barrier between God and humanity, declaring that atonement was complete through Christ's willing sacrifice, a truth confirmed by the Gentile centurion's declaration of His divinity. The sermon calls both unbelievers and believers to respond with repentance and faith, reminding the redeemed that Christ's suffering was both the ultimate expression of God's justice and the foundation of their eternal security, compelling a life of gratitude, holiness, and unwavering trust in the finished work of Christ.

Melodic and Merciless IN VIRTUE Unveils New Music Video "Desolation Throne"New Album "Age of Legends" Out Nov 2025Los Angeles progressive power metal band In Virtue has dropped another irresistible music video, “Desolation Throne”, in support of their long-awaited concept album "Age of Legends," set to release on November 21st, 2025.“Desolation Throne” is a sonic and emotional powerhouse, channeling the tortured ascent of Sisyphus to a self-made throne of darkness. Vocalist and songwriter Trey Xavier (founder of the website GearGods.net) delivers a commanding performance inspired by Symphony X's Russell Allen, blending gritty cleans with metalcore chugging reminiscent of early Unearth and Killswitch Engage. The track's bridge, Trey's personal favorite moment on the album, dives deep into the character's emotional insecurity and his destructive response to being misunderstood.The video's release marks a major milestone in a journey over a decade in the making. "Age of Legends" is more than an album; it's a cathartic narrative of self-forgiveness, transformation, and rebirth. Inspired by the myth of Sisyphus, the album follows a flawed protagonist seeking redemption not from the gods, but from himself.“It's about releasing ourselves from guilt and regret, because until you do, you can't do any good in the world, for yourself or anyone else,” explains Trey.Musically, "Age of Legends" delivers a unified emotional journey, driven by thunderous riffs, infectious grooves, and cinematic layers that heighten the story's most intense moments, not for show, but for substance. In Virtue's signature sound, heavy, fast, melodic, catchy, and groovy, draws from influences like Soilwork, Amaranthe, Shinedown, Symphony X, and Sonata Arctica, yet carves out its own identity beyond genre conventions.Born from a passion for power metal and a rejection of its fantasy tropes, In Virtue creates music rooted in real-world emotion, personal philosophy, and raw vulnerability.“This album is the full realization of our sound. It's a concept piece that casual listeners can vibe with, but those who dig deeper will find a flawed character fighting for self-forgiveness. It's immersive, cohesive, and meant to be experienced start to finish, with headphones on and the world tuned out,” says frontman Trey.The album's artwork, created by Niklas Sundin (formerly of Dark Tranquillity), depicts Sisyphus breaking free from his eternal punishment, a visual metaphor for the album's core theme of self-liberation.Fans can immerse themselves in the world of In Virtue through the “Desolation Throne” video, an uncompromising glimpse into the soul of a band that refuses to play by the rules.Watch the music video via its premiere on MetalInsider HERE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXv06-7rg2wClick Here to Subscribe to The Adventures of Pipeman for PERKS, BONUS Content & FREE GIVEWAYS! Take some zany and serious journeys with The Pipeman aka Dean K.

Ben Norquist joins us to discuss how Christianity Today, the flagship Evangelical magazine, has been covering Gaza over the last 2 years. The discussion delves into several publications by CT, including its podcast, that have revealed a problematic and dehumanizing attitude toward Palestinian, one that effectively provided a theological cover for the genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza.Purchase your own copy of “Being Christian After the Desolation of Gaza”https://wipfandstock.com/9798385254859/being-christian-after-the-desolation-of-gaza.

In 1945, the Nobel Committee awarded its prize for literature to Gabriela Mistral (1889-1957) "for her lyric poetry which, inspired by powerful emotions, has made her name a symbol of the idealistic aspirations of the entire Latin American world." Born in a rural Andean valley and abandoned by her free-spirited father at the age of three, Mistral struggled for the right to be a teacher - and then went on to help reform the Chilean educational system to improve the lives of women and the impoverished. After experiencing heartbreak and several tragedies, her poetry collection Desolación ("Desolation" or "Despair") (1922) made her one of Latin America's most revered writers. In this episode, Jacke looks at the life and works of this remarkable poet, whose constant search for truths in nature and humanity informed a body of work that continues to delight and inspire.

Whew, it's been a long year. Between the Comstock Breakfast Club 75 Reunion planning and those meetings, and the Heron, and the various events there. . it's been literally all year since I could do an episode like this, a personal one. And it's personal, the music, what I have to say, and this last year had an effect. The music? It's a complete mix. I've always loved music and it shows, half the tunes are from the 70's, cuts I loved  then and still love now, and half are from today, music I absolutely love today and they're paired up so hopefully, you'll hear those connections and that lineage too. What I have to say? It's personal, and raw, and real, and some thanks are given that are needed. Enjoy Kip

Episode 5 - Fr. Gallagher helps us to understand the Dark Night as described by St. John of the Cross and how it differs from the experience of Spiritual Desolation.  He also addresses the Dark Night metaphor and how it is used to describe some spiritual experiences that are not necessarily the same in meaning as that set forth by St. John of the Cross and how that can be confusing for some.   The post SD5 – The Journey Through the Dark Night – Spiritual Desolation: Be Aware, Understand, Take Action with Fr.

Embracing Consolation, Understanding Desolation - Spiritual Desolation: Be Aware, Understand, Take Action with Fr. Timothy Gallagher - Discerning Hearts Podcast Fr. Gallagher offers an in-depth overall review of Rule 4 on Spiritual Desolation. From  Setting the Captives Free: Personal Reflections on Ignatian Discernment of Spirits Rule 4 is the companion to rule 3 and describes its exact opposite: spiritual desolation. As in rule 3, Ignatius does not give a definition but rather a list of experiences of spiritual desolation. I have italicized each: Fourth Rule. The fourth is of spiritual desolation. I call desolation all the contrary of the third rule, such as darkness of soul, disturbance in it, movement to low and earthly things, disquiet from various agitations and temptations, moving to lack of confidence, without hope,without love, finding oneself totally slothful, tepid, sad, and as if separated from one's Creator and Lord. For just as consolation is contrary to desolation, in the same way, the thoughts that come from consolation are contrary to the thoughts that come from desolation.

Send us a textGod clearly did not want to have his people suffer like this.  Jeremiah and many other prophets were used by God to tell the people to repent and turn back to Him. Now a hard lesson is being learned that ignoring God's warning is to embrace God's condemnation. God bless you today and I encourage you to spend time in God's Word https://www.instagram.com/biblicaltapestry/https://www.facebook.com/HyperNike12

Navigating Spiritual Desolation - Spiritual Desolation: Be Aware, Understand, Take Action with Fr. Timothy Gallagher Fr. Timothy Gallagher and Kris McGregor discuss St. Ignatius' rules on spiritual desolation and distinguishing between the actions of the good spirit and the enemy during the discernment process. In particular, Rules 5 through 9 provide practical guidance, advising against changes during desolation, promoting active spiritual tools, and addressing the causes and purposes of desolation. Fr. Gallagher makes note of the trial aspect, encouraging patience, and stresses the humility of recognizing spiritual consolation as a gift from God.  The post SD2 – The Practical Guidance of Rules 5-9 – Spiritual Desolation: Be Aware, Understand, Take Action with Fr.
