This week on End Credits we get topical. We're tackling two movies this week, one new and one old, and they both have the state of society on their minds. First up, from 1976, we will continue with our ongoing series and a satire that's still razor sharp, and for the review we will get into the latest film from a provocative filmmaker that was recently in theatres for too short a time. This Wednesday, July 29, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: 6 For '76: Network. Continuing on with our series dedicated to the movies of 1976 we come to the pièce de résistance: Sidney Lumet's Network. Hailed for the last 50 years as a stinging satire, and a prescient polemic, Network has one of the most famous scenes in movie history when Peter Finch as network news anchor Howard Beale declares, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore." How does this movie still hit so hard in 2026? REVIEW: I Love Boosters (2026). It's been eight years since Boots Riley's first film, Sorry to Bother You, a stunning and star-studded debut that was bursting with ideas and a point of view. Get ready for I Love Boosters, which is also full of ideas but this time it focuses on a group of organized shoplifters - called Boosters - practicing "fashion forward filanthropy" (branding!). That's just the beginning though because the plot gets so much more complicated, and weirder, than you can possibly imagine. So the question of the hour is, do we love I Love Boosters? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

Guelph City Council is now on summer break, a long break and then just a few more meetings before the municipal election campaign can really get underway. Perhaps you can't handle anymore council talk, maybe you just want to be free to think about getting an ice cream at the Boathouse, or plan to visit all your favourite vendors at Ribfest, but after this you will be free... The recap of May, June and July's council meetings! A lot of big stuff came down in the last few months. Remember the debate over the McQuillan's Bridge and whether the City should get a newer, cheaper bridge? Of course that wasn't the only debate involving trails, which was a recurring theme with a lot of planning discussions. And speaking of planning, there was also a big debate about eight hectates of the Niska lands, a debate that did not turn out the way people hoped. And on the topic of hopes, how is the City of Guelph doing with achieving the goals of the strategic plan? Let's find out as we recap the spring and summer events at council on this edition of the Guelph Politicast! There are two more council meetings before the election, and they're both in September. First the planning meeting will take place on Wednesday September 9 and that agenda will drop on the City of Guelph website on Thursday August 27. Stay on top of council coverage every week by following @adamadonaldson on Blue Sky and by subscribing to the Guelph Politico Tip Sheet newsletter. The Thursday edition is the recap of that week's council meeting. The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean.

In wedding ceremonies, couples say, "Til death do us part." Wait, but what happens to your marriage after death? Jesus talks only briefly about marriage and weddings, but that has been enough to give scholars a lot to debate about throughout the centuries. Kaitlyn explains what these passages say and why she thinks heavenly matrimony seems plausible.   0:00 - Theme Song   1:52 - What Will Marriage Be Like in Heaven?   6:14 - What Does the Bible Say?   10:36 - Marriage's Purpose   17:41 - Sponsor -  CBE International - CBE's 2026 Conference is in Chicago on August 6-9 2026!

This week on End Credits, we go big *and* go home! It feels like we've been waiting for it forever, and last weekend it finally arrived on all the biggest screens available. That's right, we're talking about Christopher's Nolan's epic re-telling of The Odyssey, now definitely in a theatre near you, and sticking with Nolan, we will talk about one of his forgotten(?) classics. This Wednesday, July 22, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Tenet and the Mind of Christopher Nolan. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Christopher Nolan insisted that they release his sci-fi action flick Tenet in theatres no matter how limited the attendance restrictions could be. That's one of the reasons Tenet is seen as a rare Nolan misfire, but as we look ahead to The Odyssey, and Nolan's status as a Hollywood blockbuster juggernaut, we will re-examine Tenet and what it can tell us about the director. REVIEW: The Odyssey (2026). Hotly anticipated for well over a year, we are finally delivered The Odyssey, Christopher Nolan's follow-up to his Oscar-winning magnum opus Oppenheimer. The story is well-known, Trojan War hero Odysseus undertakes a decades long quest to return to his home and his wife, while Penelope is being courted by a large group of suitors who want to replace him on the throne of Ithaca. Matt Damon leads an all-star cast who all fill parts big and small, but is Nolan's epic "too big to fail", or is it worthy of all the hype? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

It seemed to pass by without much commentary earlier this year, but January 29 marked the tenth anniversary of the last edition of the Guelph Mercury. Recently, with the closure of 570 News in Kitchener, a discussion about the shrinking state of local news is timely again, and as we head into municipal election season, shouldn't it be more top of mind as we get ready to elect a new mayor and council? Two weeks ago, Rogers Sports & Media announced that they were cutting 230 jobs and closing six radio stations across Canada, including 570 News in Kitchener. It's kind of a big hit to the Waterloo Region eco-system because The Mike Farwell Show was a fairly popular platform to discuss local issues, and 570 was the radio broadcast home for the Kitchener Rangers. An important community hub was zapped just like *that* on a random Tuesday! And on top of that, these cuts come at the worst possible time as every Ontario municipality enters election season this fall. So in the wake of these recent cuts, and in anticipation of the labour intensive work coming this fall, we tap into the experience and expertise of the Ink-Stained Wretches, a grassroots advocacy group dedicated to building a culture of appreciation for quality journalism in aid of democracy. How can we know who we're voting for without a robust local media eco-system? Mirko Petricevic. the chief "Ink-stigator" of Ink-Stained Wretches, joins us today on this edition of the pod as we talk about why the closure of 570 News came as such a big blow, and why it continues to be so hard to make the erosion of local news a community issue. He will also talk about walking the fine line between mutual interest and accountability, why local media still has an advantage in securing people's trust, and why we need a “buy local” campaign for our community news outlets. So let's talk again about the state of local news on this week's Guelph Politicast! You can learn more about Ink-Stained Wretches at their website, or you can follow them on Facebook and Blue Sky. For some more conversation about the state of local media, especially in Waterloo Region, you can check out a panel discussion that was hosted at the Ink-Stained Wretches Journalism Film Festival, which took place earlier this spring, at Midtown Radio here.

Crying can feel like a sign of weakness, which makes it hard to imagine an all-powerful God shedding tears. Kaitlyn explores what Jesus weeping at Lazarus's tomb reveals about a God who chooses to be moved by our suffering and how Christian hope does not minimize grief, but instead promises death, pain, and tears will not have the final word.   0:00 - Theme Song   2:32 - Does God Cry?   11:10 - Sponsor - Tyndale - To celebrate the NLT's 30th anniversary, Use code CURIOUS30 to receive 30% off any NLT Bible!   12:02 - Sponsor - With and For - The With and For podcast brings together psychology and spiritual wisdom—check it out now: https://pod.link/1712333330?view=apps&sort=popularity   13:11 - Incarnate God Tears   29:20 - How to Explain it to a Child   30:45 - End Credits  

This week on End Credits, we're doing a clip show! Taking a break from the summer movie madness, we will revisit our reviews for what are objectionably the best movies of the year so far, one is a buddy space adventure to save the world, one is a buddy movie about suffering for your art, and the last one is a buddy film about pushing your buddy too far. Well, sort of. This Wednesday, July 8, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson, Tim Phillips, Peter Salmon and Candice Lepage will discuss: The Best of 2026 So Far. Critics can have different ideas about what does and doesn't make a "Best of the Year" list, but for 2026 so far, there seems to be three picks that just about every critic agrees are the best of this year! On this week's show we will go back to space with Tim for Project Hail Mary, try and get a show at the Rivoli with Peter and Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie, and we will break a One Wish Willow and get obsessed all over again with Obsession. Relax this week as we get mentally ready for the next big thing... End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.  

Due to circumstances beyond our control, this week's episode of the Guelph Politicast is a combination of two interviews from recent editions of Open Sources Guelph. Housing remains a big issue in this city, as we saw as recently as last night's council meeting, but housing is an Ontario-wide issue too so for this episode of the pod we will open our gaze to areas beyond our borders. Two times now, Waterloo Region has tried to evict a homeless encampment on the site of proposed transit hub project in Kitchener, and twice an Ontario court has upheld the Charter rights of the people living there. Now, the Region and the Ontario government are trying to take things to the Court of Appeals, but will they have any greater success there? In part one, Waterloo Region Community Legal Services executive director Ashley Schuitema, who represents the residents, will tell us why she's holding all the cards. For years, we've been waiting for all levels of government to make substantial progress on getting more affordable homes built, but some advocates are now wondering if maybe working within the present system is worth their while. In part 2 we will be joined by Matt Whitfield and Gaetan Heroux, organizers of the People's Assembly for Housing Justice, who tell us why fighting Toronto's housing crisis may not involve getting involved in the local election this fall. So let's look at some housing issues beyond the immediate Guelph area on this week's Guelph Politicast! You can learn more about the Waterloo Region Community Legal Services, including updates about the fight for the Kitchener encampment on their website. You can learn more about the Parkdale Housing Justine Network on Instagram and you can learn about the Toronto Tenant Union at their website. If you would like to learn more about Guelph's own nascent tenant union will be taking part in Breezy Breakfast this Thursday at 8 am at Uptown Grill. The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean.

The story of Adam and Eve has often been used to argue that men were created to lead and women were created to assist. But does Genesis actually say that? Kaitlyn looks more closely at the two creation accounts, the meaning of the word "helper," and why Eve's creation from Adam's side is meant to emphasize their shared humanity rather than her inferiority.   0:00 - Theme Song   0:56 - How Did God Make Even Out of Adam's Rib?   6:02 - Do We Know Genesis?   14:58 - Sponsor - Blissy - Pure mulberry silk pillow cases—hypoallergenic, naturally cooling, and recommended by dermatologists!

This week on End Credits we promise you fireworks! If the sparks are flying, then you can probably blame the movie we're reviewing this week, which is the new romantic crime thriller Carolina Caroline, which you can now rent on VOD, Fireworks are also for special occasions, like the 30th anniversary of 1996's biggest blockbuster hit, which we will revisit. This Wednesday, July 8, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Independence Day at 30! This past weekend, America celebrated the 250th anniversary of its Independence Day, but we would rather mark the 30th anniversary of the *real* Independence Day, the Roland Emmerich alien invasion movie of the same name. From the iconic special effects to the rising star power of Will Smith to the peak hotness of Jeff Goldblum, we will revisit ID4, and why it's still so totemic 30 years later! REVIEW: Carolina Caroline (2026). Two lovers meet and then go out on the run and commit crimes together on their way to a tragic end. Been there, done that, right? Maybe. Adam Carter Rehmeier's follow up to Snack Shack follows con man Kyle Gallner and his very willing apprentice Samara Weaving as they make their way across the American South graduating from small change cons to bank heists while becoming more and more the focus of the police. So why is a movie that seems so familiar winning so many fans, and are we among them? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

Sometimes it seems like municipal politics is an older person's game. Look around at the faces of Guelph City Council, or even Wellington County Council, and you see a lot of wrinkles and a lot of grey hairs. Now, we love our elders, and everyone should be welcome to serve in municipal governance, but as we approach the end of this term of Guelph city council, we will talk to its two youngest members about going where few people their age have gone before. This is the last of three episodes dedicated to the first-term councillors. A lot can change in a term, and for Councillors Carly Klassen and Ken Yee Chew there have been some pretty big personal changes to match the ones they experienced on the job; Chew became a married man while Klassen became a first-time mom. With so many things that are so important personally, it doesn't leave much room for the rapidly changing pace of municipal business. On that account, this last term probably broke speed records. The Ontario government introduced changes to municipal oversite, funding and planning pretty much every six months, and there's also been the increasing centralization of power. Despite the challenges they've encountered, and the changes in their personal lives, Klassen and Chew have both decided to re-up for the next term of council, and with a slate of young people eager to join them, what can Klassen and Chew teach us based on their experiences? Carly Klassen and Ken Yee Chew join us on this edition of the podcast to talk about the things they wish they knew before they ran for office, the learning curve (especially with all the changes mandated by the provincial government), and the ways their personal lives have changed in the last four years. They will also discuss how they've balanced their commitments, what it means to be representative of young people on council, and the challenges in chasing their own agendas. So let's talk about what the young ones have learned on this week's Guelph Politicast! Council business continues, at least until the end of the month, and you can find the agendas on the City of Guelph's “City Government” page here, and you can see all the ongoing coverage here on Guelph Politico. The last day to file nominations for this fall's municipal elections is Friday August 21 when the campaign begins in earnest, and Election Day itself is Monday October 26.

Heaven is often imagined as clouds, mansions, and maybe a few streets of gold, but Jesus' promise in John 14 is far more comforting than heavenly real estate. Kaitlyn talks about what Jesus meant when he said his Father's house has many rooms, why "mansions" may be a misunderstanding, and how the Bible's picture of eternity is physical, communal, and full of belonging. Heaven may not include a private mansion, but may offer something much better: a place in God's household.   0:00 - Theme Song   1:55 - Does God Have Mansions for Us?   3:09 - Mansion? Room?

This week on End Credits there's no holiday. While you may be enjoying the show in the midst of a midsummer holiday week, we're still cranking out content but not the way the Jackass gang is still cranking it out! We will review the final (?) entry in the franchise, Best and Last, which you can now seen in a theatre near you, plus, let's talk about Can-Con!  This Wednesday, July 1, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: The Canada Day Canadian Movie Draft! This week's episode goes live on Canada Day, so is there a better way to celebrate our nation's 159th birthday than to gift us all with a game about Can-Con? Obviously not! We're drafting again with some unique new topics including the covers non-Canadian movies set in Canada, Canadian horror movies, low-budget or indie Canadian flicks. Plus, there's the eternal question: Cronenberg versus Eqoyan as Canada's film king?! REVIEW: Jackass: Best and Last (2026). It's all been leading to this... Sort of. Johnny, Chris, Steve-O, Dave, Wee-Man, Danger Ehren and the whole gang are back for one last ride in Jackass: Best and Last. This fifth entry in the franchise reckons with old age, the guys can't do those same old body breaking stunts the way they used to, so instead they're doing some less traumatic stunts, reminiscing about old times and playing some never-seen-before B-sides. So are we ready to let Jackass go after one more round of genital trauma? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

If you're listening to this on Wednesday, then it's Canada Day, and you might expect that we would dig into something of national importance but with a Guelph edge. Instead, we're going to go ultra local. There's a neighbourhood in the City's south end that has concerns about traffic that will be created from over 200 new units that have been long in development. At the same time, one Guelphite is saying that print is not dead! First, in the Hart Village area east of Rickson Road in Guelph's south end, signs have popped up along Carrington Drive, Rodgers Road, and Ryder Avenue, all trying to raise awareness about two new projects coming to the top of the hill on Lovett Lane and their possible impacts on traffic flow in the area. Some might call them NIMBY, but in an election year do these residents have the political capital to use the occasion for their issue? Second, you may have noticed a new print media outlet around town at some of your favourite coffee shops and stores, something we used to call an alt-weekly. It's been a good 15 years since Echo Weekly stopped publishing, but now Net Weekly hopes to fill the void by “trying to help you stay off your phone just a little bit more”. Can an alt-weekly still be a Bible for Guelph arts culture, even if its not really online and printed on regular paper?  David Deacon of the neighbourhood group Plan the Right Access will join us in part one to tell us about all the questions on Lovett Lane, the lack of answers from city hall, and why he and his neighbours are actually excited about the project. In part two, Michael K. Newton, the founder of Net Weekly, will talk about why Guelph has been missing an alt-weekly, how he's building an audience, and why printed paper is the best way to build it!  So let's get local this Canada Day on the Guelph Politicast!  You can learn more about the effort to send the Lovett Lane development back to council at their website or by visiting them on Instagram. Net Weekly releases a new edition every Thursday at locations around Guelph including The Beat Goes On, Red Brick Cafe, The Dragon, and more, plus you can find back issues here. If you have a pitch or are interested in advertising, you can send Newton an email at netweeklyguelph [at] gmail.com. The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean.

What would the existence of aliens mean for the Christian story? Kaitlyn and Mike explore whether sin only affects humans, whether other planets are part of a fallen creation, and what the Bible's big-picture story of creation and redemption might have to say about life beyond Earth. They also talk about the image of God, why intelligence is not what makes humans valuable, and why the hope of Jesus is not just personal forgiveness, but the restoration of all things.   0:00 - Theme Song   2:38 - Are Other Planets Unsinful?   12:10  - Sponsor - World Challenge - Get your 30-day devotional free from World Challenge at https://worldchallenge.org/KAITLYN   13:30 - How Does Sin Affect Creation   21:27 - Is Sin Just on Earth?   30:08 - End Credits

If you watch film reviews on YouTube, what do you see? There are a thousand reviews of the biggest releases and the hottest franchises, and it normally comes down to a question: Does it rock, or does it suck? Can anyone do nuance in film criticism anymore? Can nuance stand out in the noise and conflict of influencer culture? You may be surprised that the answer is yes. On this edition of End Credits Conversations, we're joined by Adam Manary, who is a former teacher turned corporate videographer and film critic. His site, Points of Review, does long form written criticism and film festival coverage, and he does video reviews on YouTube too, but he's doing criticism the hard way. He will talk to us about trying to stand out among the critics chasing click bait, the challenges of building your own outlet, and what makes a good film festival. You can read Adam Manary's reviews and film festival coverage at Points of Review. End Credits Conversations returns next month on the fourth Saturday. End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

This week on End Credits, we're all about disclosure. Having said that, you can probably already guess that the movie this week is a little number called Disclosure Day, an entry from a real up-and-comer named Steven Spielberg, and in other disclosures we will share some of the movies we believe have stood out so far among the 2026 releases. This Wednesday, June 24, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: The Best of the Year... So Far. It's been a big year at the movies so far with some pretty predictable hits like Super Mario Galaxy Movie, to some out of nowhere game changers like Backrooms. Are these some of the best movies of the year so far? Maybe (well, probably not in the case of the former), but the movies that do make out Best of the Year so far list will have many familiar names, from a fictional Canadian band to a real survivor situation. REVIEW: Disclosure Day (2026). Some of Steven Spielberg's biggest movies have been about aliens - Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T., War of the Worlds - so it makes sense that he'd go back to that well as he goes back to blockbuster filmmaking. In Disclosure Day, a group of do-gooders are attempted to release proof that aliens are real and that the government is covering them up, but anything worth doing is going to make you the target of malicious black ops agents. Still, this is Spielberg we're talking about, so this one has to be a winner, right? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

Does this one feel a little slow? There's no doubt that there's a lot of passion in the community for a variety of issues from affordability to housing development in this election, and there are a lot of new faces eager to take the reins around the council horseshoe, but a little over halfway through the nomination process, do the races this fall feel exciting, especially the open mayor's race? Is there change in the air? Are people paying attention? Last week, there was finally a break in the mayor's race. Ward 6 Councillor Ken Yee Chew submitted his name to become the next Mayor of Guelph and thus presented a challenge to his colleague, Ward 5 Councillor Leanne Caron. Now technically, there are four people in the race, but if this comes down to past council experience, for now, this is Caron versus Chew to lead Guelph into its post-Guthrie years. But that's just the mayor's race. If you look at the list of competitors in the six ward races, some of them are busier than others, especially Ward 1, which usually attracts a large variety of candidates in every election. There's still a question mark around two seats, one in Ward 4 and another in Ward 5; Councillors Christine Billings and Cathy Downer have yet to announce their intentions. And what about the school board races? Only four people have signed up across the four different school boards, why is that?  To break down some of these questions, and more, we will be joined by Open Sources Guelph co-host Scotty Hertz. We will talk about whether this is a slow start to an election, why candidates need to have those social media accounts ready, and why no candidate can rest on social media alone. We will also talk about the top issues being discussed on the campaign trail, why candidates need to be ready to talk about cuts if they're running against high taxes, and we will make a pit stop to talk about Mississauga politics.  So let's talk about the election, two months down four to go, on this week's Guelph Politicast!  You can see the full list of candidates running in all the races here. You can listen to Scotty and I talk every week, Thursday at 5 pm, on Open Sources Guelph, which airs on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca. We will be ramping up our election coverage there later this summer, and in the meantime, you can stay up to date on election stuff on Guelph Politico and by subscribing to the Tip Sheet newsletter.

When Jesus prayed, was he talking to himself? Kaitlyn dives into the deep end of Christian theology, talking about the Trinity, Jesus' humanity, and why "three persons, one God" is both true and mysterious. She explores why Jesus praying in the garden is not God merely talking to himself, but a glimpse into the eternal relationship of Father, Son, and Spirit, and why Jesus' human will matters for how we understand prayer, suffering, and obedience.   0:00 - Intro   1:33 - Why Does Jesus Pray for Us if He's God?   4:59 - The Trinity is one   17:02 - Sponsor - World Relief - Right now, there's $150,000 challenge gift that will TRIPLE your giving, ending June 30th!

Daniel prays where people can see him, but Jesus tells his followers not to pray just to be noticed. So did Daniel and Jesus disagree about prayer? Kaitlyn explains why Daniel's prayer was an act of quiet faithfulness, not religious showmanship, and why Jesus was warning against using prayer to impress an audience. Mike and Kaitlyn talk about public faith, political protest, performative religion, and the difference between staying faithful to God and trying to look faithful to everyone else.   0:00 - Theme Song   0:58 - Was Daniel a Hypocrite?   6:57 - What's the Lion's Den Story's Point?   11:40 - Sponsor - Belonging by Design - Learn how to show up for special-needs families at your church.

It's a mailbag episode, and Kaitlyn is taking on a wide range of listener questions about church, communion, and Christian formation. Is it okay to take the Lord's Supper by yourself at home if your church only celebrates it once a month? What does it actually mean to "live in light of the resurrection"? And how much theological training should pastors and ministry leaders have before stepping into leadership? Plus, Kaitlyn and Mike wrestle honestly with what to do when every church near you feels too casual, too shallow, or just not what you hoped for.   0:00 - Theme Song   1:33 - Can You Do the Lord's Supper Alone/   11:21 - Living in Light of the Resurrection?   17:22 - Importance of Being "Theologically-Trained"   25:02 - Sponsor - Belonging by Design - Learn how to show up for special-needs families at your church.

Send Us A Message or Ask Us A Question? TRE and the Power of Spontaneous Shaking: Richmond Heath on Somatic Stress RecoverySavia Rocks welcomes physiotherapist and TRE Australia founder Richmond Heath to season seven of The Us People Podcast to discuss spontaneous shaking/trembling as an overlooked, positive human recovery reflex. Richmond shares growing up on a farm in Victoria, later developing chronic pain and stress, and experiencing spontaneous movement during Vipassana meditation that shifted his understanding of tension and healing. He explains TRE (Tension/Trauma Release Exercises) as a trauma-informed method that uses simple muscle fatigue to deliberately evoke and regulate tremors, reframing shaking from a symptom of anxiety, shock, or weakness into a mechanism that discharges stress and adrenaline. The conversation covers somatics, polyvagal theory, trauma as immobilization, cultural suppression of shaking, examples from animals and traditional societies, and practical supports like breathwork, mindfulness, exercise, community, and purpose, plus Richmond's TRE online course (trecourse.com) and its global reach.00:00 Welcome to the Podcast02:27 Richmond Heath's Backstory03:35 Pain to Breakthrough10:01 Discovering TRE Purpose14:06 What Is TRE22:26 Shaking and Anxiety31:38 Somatic Explained39:10 Trauma Origins and Inheritance41:34 Practical Stress Tools44:39 Happiness Through Service46:47 Why TRE Calms Fast48:18 Beyond Mindfulness Limits49:40 COVID Shift to Online54:05 Polyvagal Science Basics56:22 Freeze Response Explained01:01:25 Everyday Trauma Example01:04:33 Why Adults Suppress Shaking01:06:54 Authenticity and Reawakening01:14:12 Key Takeaways and Utero Movement01:19:11 How to Learn TRE01:23:14 Closing Thanks and Outro01:25:51 End Credits and Final ReflectionThank you so much Richmond for teaching us that Trauma show be shown freely in order to heal ourselves - Savia RocksWebsite: https://www.treaustralia.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/TRE-Australia/100057615902736/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tre_australia/?hl=enLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richmond-heath-08719326/Support the show

When we say Scripture is inspired by God, what do we mean? Did God simply dictate every word, or put the authors in some sort of trance? Did Paul know he was writing Scripture when he first penned his letter to the Romans? Kaitlyn helps us understand what Christians mean when they say the Bible is "God-breathed," and how the Holy Spirit worked through real people with real personalities, purposes, cultures, and quirks. She also explains why God's choice to work through messy human means is not a problem to solve, but a gift to receive.   0:00 - Theme Song   2:58 - How Did the Bible Writers Know About God?   7:55 - The Experience of Being Inspired   12:20 - Sponsor - Blissy - Pure mulberry silk pillow cases—hypoallergenic, naturally cooling, and recommended by dermatologists!

Kaitlyn looks at why Proverbs personifies both wisdom and folly as women, how those images have often been misunderstood, and why Proverbs 31 should not be treated as an impossible checklist for Christian womanhood. She also talk about the Bible's honest account of sin's impact on men and women, the difference between wisdom and certainty, and why learning to live with unanswered questions can actually strengthen faith.   0:00 - Theme Song   1:40 - What's Up with Proverbs?   9:24 - Devaluing Women   13:20 - Sponsor - World Relief - Partner with World Relief in creating safety, stability and belonging for refugees and immigrants at https://www.worldrelief.org/KAITLYN   14:38 - The Bible Isn't a Formula   20:00 - Comfort in Uncertainty   24:31 - End Credits

Ever looked around during worship and wondered why everyone suddenly has their hands in the air? Kaitlyn and producer Mike explore where this practice comes from, what the Bible actually says about worship, and why different churches express worship in such different ways.

We know we are supposed to get baptized, but does it matter where it happens?

Ever read something Jesus said and thought… wait, was that supposed to make sense? One young listener asks why Jesus seemed to intentionally confuse people in Mark 4, and it turns out she's stumbled onto one of the hardest passages in the Gospels. Kaitlyn and Mike dig into the parable of the sower, Jesus' surprising quote from Isaiah, and whether God actually wants some people not to understand. They also wrestle with a tension many of us feel: why doesn't God just make everything clearer?

BGMania B-Sides #44 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bedroth takes us into the pixel-crafted world of Tiny Thor, a retro-inspired platformer that blends classic 16-bit charm with surprisingly modern design sensibilities. What starts as a colorful, almost playful journey quickly reveals itself to be a tightly tuned experience, where precision, momentum, and mastery of Thor's iconic hammer become the key to pushing forward. It's a game that feels nostalgic on the surface, but underneath, it's constantly asking more of you. That same duality carries straight into the soundtrack. Bright, energetic melodies immediately pull you in, evoking that golden-era platforming feel, but there's a sharpness to the composition that keeps everything from feeling too safe or predictable. Driving rhythms, punchy synth leads, and clever use of space give each track a sense of motion, like the music itself is ricocheting alongside Thor's hammer. It's playful without being lightweight, and technical without losing its sense of fun, creating a score that feels right at home in both the past and the present. Email the show at bgmaniapodcast@gmail.com with requests for upcoming episodes, questions, feedback, comments, concerns, or any other thoughts you'd like to share!

If your dog goes to heaven, will she see Jesus as a dog? Kaitlyn and Mike explore what the Bible actually says about animals, God's care for creation, and whether the pets we love might be part of the new creation. They tackle why Jesus became human and why that particular, embodied humanity still matters today. The conversation leads to a bigger question many adults quietly assume: is Jesus whoever we want him to be? And what happens when the real Jesus challenges the version we've made in our own image.   0:00 - Theme Song   1:05 - Will Jesus Look Like a Dog to Dogs?   5:04 - God Loves Animals   12:11 - Is Jesus Still Human?   19:00 - Sponsor - Toups and Co Organics - Simplify your routine and feel good about what you put on your skin.

Most of us assume angels rank above humans in the great cosmic hierarchy. But angels, for all their mystery and power, lack two essential parts of what it means to be human: a physical body and the kind of covenant relationship with God that shapes our story. Kaitlyn takes up the simple question of whether angels are boys or girls and uses it to draw out the deeper differences between angels and humans and how these differences point us back to the astonishing claim at the heart of Scripture: that embodied, relational humanity holds a uniquely honored place in God's creation.   0:00 - Theme Song   1:08 - Angels in the Bible   8:26 - Do Angels Have Bodies?   13:34 - Sponsor - Hiya Health - Go to https://www.hiyahealth.com/CURIOUSLY to receive 50% off your first order   15:01 - Sponsor - With & For: Psychology and Spirituality for Thriving Podcast.

Did God choose you or did you choose God? Kaitlyn tackles one of Christianity's most debated questions, predestination vs. free will, exploring what the Bible says about God's sovereignty, human choice, and how believers have wrestled with holding both together for centuries.

We all know the story of Lot's wife being turned into a pillar of salt, but have you ever stopped to look at it from her perspective?

What does it mean to fear an all-loving God? Is it just reverence and awe, or are we actually supposed to be afraid? Kaitlyn and Mike wrestle with biblical stories, common misconceptions about Greek and Hebrew word studies, and the difference between fear that drives us away from God and fear that draws us closer. They also explore how a healthy fear of God can free us from fear of people, power, and politics and why that paradox might actually be good news.   0:00 - Theme Song   3:11 - Fear as Respect?   8:23 - Power is Frightening   16:15 - Sponsor - With & For: Psychology and Spirituality for Thriving Podcast.

We think the after life will be perfect in every way, but that is not the picture that Scripture paints.  From Eden to new creation, Kaitlyn and Mike explore why scripture calls creation "good" instead of "perfect," why only God has perfection, and why eternal life won't be static, boring, or frozen in place. Instead, it's a future of growth, learning, and flourishing—far better than the perfection we imagine now.   0:00 - Theme Song   0:55 - Should the Word Be Used to Describe Something on Earth?   3:35 - Was Eden perfect?   12:48 - Sponsor - With & For: Psychology and Spirituality for Thriving Podcast.

Over the last 30 years, the number of Americans who say they highly value patriotism, religion, community, and family has dropped dramatically. At the same time, the number of Americans who care about making more money has gone up.
