Alissa Lee's debut takes domestic suspense into dark academia territory — and I couldn't put it down, even at work.In this episode, I sit down with debut author Alissa Lee to chat about her upcoming novel — a twisty, character-driven story about five college friends whose secret game spirals into betrayal and murder. We talk about how her background working for the CIA, Capitol Hill, and Big Tech shaped her storytelling; why long-term friendships inspired her book; and how community and writing groups became her creative lifeline.If you love dark academia, female friendship drama, and slow-burn suspense, this conversation is for you.

DateOctober 19, 2025SynopsisIn this sermon, we confront the haunting fear that darkness will devour us. Through Jacob's midnight wrestling match with God, we discover that darkness isn't something to run from—it's a doorway to transformation. Wrestling with God in our darkest moments isn't a sign of faithlessness, but an invitation to experience divine presence and emerge changed, even if limping. Based on Genesis 32:22-31, with references to Barbara Brown Taylor's wisdom on sacred darkness and Kate Bowler's reflections on blessing through struggle.About The Local ChurchFor more information about The Local Church, visit our website.

This week's conversation starts with laughs and lands deep. The crew picks up Paxton's sermon illustration about feeding the tiger—those little desires we keep alive until they grow teeth. From late-night scroll sessions to collecting Beanie Babies and Dr. Squatch soaps, everyone admits they've got their own “tigers.” It's funny, but it hits close to home. The group turns the corner to what Scripture says about desire. Psalm 37:4 and 1 Peter 5:6 remind us that when we delight in the Lord, He reshapes what we want—and when we humble ourselves, He's the One who lifts us up. They talk about ambition, approval, and the moments when God flips our motives from self-promotion to kingdom purpose. It's honest, hopeful, and a good reminder that some things need starving… and others need surrendering. Before wrapping up, the guys highlight Harvest Fest on October 26—a chance to turn good intentions into real ministry by serving, smiling, and sharing the gospel with thousands of neighbors.

Welcome to The Witching Hour Podcast has had the honor of being allowed to be the first to review Scott B. Hansen's latest release DEVOUR!!!! Be sure to watch the full review, because this is one Halloween seasoned movie you aren't going to want to miss! The folks that brought you BAD CANDY, Digital Thunder Dome have put together a true masterpiece that you will not soon forget!

Corrupt shepherds devouring their own sheep - it's a jarring image that cuts straight to the heart of spiritual leadership gone wrong. When those entrusted with caring for God's flock instead exploit them for personal gain, they face divine judgment.Ezekiel chapter 34 delivers this powerful warning through a scathing indictment of Israel's leaders who had abandoned their sacred duty. Rather than strengthening the weak, healing the sick, or seeking the lost, these shepherds were feeding themselves at the expense of their flock. God's response? "I myself will search for my sheep and seek them out." Eleven times God declares what He will personally do to rescue His scattered people.This ancient message resonates profoundly today as we examine modern church leadership. While many pastors serve faithfully - some barely able to support their families despite full-time ministry - others have transformed spiritual authority into lucrative empires. We share heartbreaking stories of ministers forced to leave ministry because they couldn't feed their children, alongside troubling examples of churches targeting wealthy demographics while abandoning ministries to those with limited financial means.The episode explores how Jesus's claim to be "the Good Shepherd" directly references this Ezekiel passage, creating a powerful contrast between corrupt leadership and His own sacrificial care. When Jesus spoke these words to the religious authorities of His day, He was making a deliberate connection they couldn't miss - identifying Himself as the fulfillment of God's promise to personally shepherd His people.Whether you're a church leader, congregation member, or spiritual seeker, this teaching offers wisdom for discerning authentic spiritual guidance from exploitation. Join us as we uncover this often-overlooked passage that challenges us to examine what true shepherding means and reminds us that when human leaders fail, the divine Shepherd remains faithful to His flock.Support the showThank you for listening!!

We all live by a story. Some give life. Others take it.The book of Exodus isn't just about an ancient people escaping Egypt. It's about us. It's about you.It's the story of being enslaved to a system that slowly grinds you down, the story of a God who shows up in the middle of it, and the story of discovering who you were always meant to be. It's about realizing that the way out of slavery is also the way in—to freedom, identity, faith, and hope.For thousands of years, people have turned to Exodus to make sense of their own lives. Maybe it's time you did too.Download our sermon discussion guide for this week here.

What happens when life's setbacks become the catalyst for extraordinary success? Mr. Devour's story answers this question with raw authenticity and entrepreneurial fire.When a workplace injury left him unable to return to conventional employment, Devour faced a critical choice—give up or reinvent himself. With a wife and two children depending on him, he revived a dormant dream and launched Devour Collection, what he proudly calls "the only exotic streetwear brand in the world." Born and raised in Chicago's Roseland neighborhood, Devour infused his South Side roots into a fashion philosophy that's caught the attention of filmmakers and tastemakers alike."I gave myself a 10-year deadline," Devala reveals, "and honestly, I make five years in October and I've done a lot more stuff than I thought I would have done." That "stuff" includes clothing features in multiple films alongside notable actors, expanding his brand into couture and intimate apparel divisions, and launching a music label under his Pretty Fly Corporation umbrella. But success hasn't come without profound personal challenges, including battling depression and childhood tragedy—Devour lost two brothers in a fire when he was young.Perhaps the most powerful takeaway from Devour's journey is his perspective on time versus money. "What can you do with money without time? Nothing," he states. "What can you do with time without money? A whole lot. I come from the bottom." This wisdom permeates his approach to business and life, creating generational wealth for his daughter (who has her own brand, Motivation) while relentlessly pursuing his vision despite naysayers.Visit DevourCollection.com and use promo code DEVOUR for 15% off, or catch the brand's upcoming fashion show in St. Louis on October 18th. As Devour would say, "Live freely in your lifestyle while devouring your prey. Whatever trials and tribulations you go through, step into that shit as the lion, and never the mouse."Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: The SHITTS Podcast.
