Podcast appearances and mentions of faith herbert

1. The trap of busyness  John 4:4 Now he had to go through Samaria. (NIV) Mark 16:15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. (NIV) 2. The trap of rejection John 4:7–9 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?” 8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.) 9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.) (NIV)  3. The trap of not knowing enough  John 4:11-12 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?” (NIV) John 4:20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.” (NIV) 5 Life Giving Ways To Share Your Faith 1. Don’t judge people love people  Romans 2:4 Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin? (NLT) 2. Initiate a conversation not an argument   3. Talk about something you have in common  4. Find an attractive way to talk about Jesus John 4:10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” (NIV) John 4:13–15 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” 15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.” (NIV) 5. Remember that one changed life leads to more changed lives  John 4:39–42 Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.” 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days. 41 And because of his words many more became believers. 42 They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.” (NIV)

Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. (NIV) James 1:6 But ask in faith, never doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind; (NRSV) Matthew 21:21   Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done. (NIV) 1. Faulty faith 2. Fresh faith 3. Fake faith 4. Fading faith 5. Flourishing faith James 2:17   In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. (NIV) 1. You move forward afraid Exodus 3:7 The LORD said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. (NIV) Exodus 4:1 Moses answered, “What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say, ‘The LORD did not appear to you’?” (NIV) Exodus 4:10 Moses said to the LORD, “Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.” (NIV) Exodus 4:13   But Moses said, “Pardon your servant, Lord. Please send someone else.” (NIV) 2. You move forward when it’s risky Exodus 5:20–23 As they left Pharaoh’s court, they confronted Moses and Aaron, who were waiting outside for them. 21  The foremen said to them, “May the LORD judge and punish you for making us stink before Pharaoh and his officials. You have put a sword into their hands, an excuse to kill us!” 22  Then Moses went back to the LORD and protested, “Why have you brought all this trouble on your own people, Lord? Why did you send me? 23  Ever since I came to Pharaoh as your spokesman, he has been even more brutal to your people. And you have done nothing to rescue them!” (NLT) 3. You move forward without all the details Hebrews 11:8 It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance. He went without knowing where he was going. (NLT) 4. You move forward when it does not make sense 5. You move forward in spite of your inadequacies

Today we will be talking about community building then Faith from Valiant comics. Links in the Episode: covertnerd.net Roseto PA Article Faith Herbert Wikia Shout Outs MEGA podcast That one time I was abducted Two Headed Nerds Bandrew Says podcast ----more---- There's no suicide, no alcoholism, no drug addiction, and very little crime. They didn’t have anyone on welfare. Then they looked at ulcers. They didn’t have any of those either. These people were dying of old age. Roseto PA a place that lay outside everyday experience, where the normal rules did not apply. Roseto was an outlier. The Rosetans were healthy because of where they were from, because of the world they had created for themselves in their tiny little town in the hills. In 1992 researchers began to realize the secret of Roseto wasn’t diet or exercise or genes or location. It had to be Roseto itself. As researcher walked around the town, they figured out why. They looked at how the Rosetans visited one another, stopping to chat in Italian on the street, say, or cooking for one another in their backyards. They learned about the extended family clans underlay the town’s social structure. They saw how many homes had three generations living under one roof, and how much respect grandparents commanded. They went to mass at Our Lady of Mount Carmel and saw the unifying and calming effect of the church. They counted twenty-two separate civic organizations in a town of just under two thousand people. They picked up on the particular egalitarian ethos of the community, which discouraged the wealthy from flaunting their success and helped the unsuccessful obscure their failures. No one was used to thinking about health in terms of community. Article here Starting a podcasting group to build community, behind the glass builds community. DND and pathfinder players build community. Community of people helping the homeless. All around us we see communities being built. Some good some bad, some big some small. At the end of the day we as humans like build groups with other like mined people. Why do you think cons about almost anything are so popular? We like to be around people who are into the things we are into. None of these will allow you to live into your 90s, at least they won’t most likely. But what community will do is give you a sense of belonging you are not alone. More enthusiasm when you leave and go back to your real world you have more passion for what you are into. Learn, you will most likely find something out you didn’t know before. I’m going to a local comic con soon with people who like comic books and other nerdy things. Recently we are working are building a local group around podcasting. The idea is to help each other get better at podcasting. Whether you are new to craft or have be doing it for years, we all can learn and help others learn. I think for the most part people desire to help others. That’s why I think the phrase “can you help me?” Is more effective “than can you do me a favor?” the latter insinuates you will have to pay them back. Since the phrase “you owe me a favor comes to mind.   Any way the idea to build a local in person community around the passion of podcasting. It will be fun and exciting to see what happens. Hopefully you have a community of people where you live gathering around the things you love. If you don’t try to find one. Most groups have some sort of presence online listing where and when they meet. Try one out, if you don’t like it try another group. If you can’t find one consider starting one around your area of interest. Let me know what communities you are involved with and why. Email me cn@covertnerd.net Twitter Instagram or Facebook. Go to covertnerd.net for all my contact info, plus I will include all my contact info in the show notes. If you are listening via mobile device you can simply contact me from your phone.   I don’t think Valiant comics gets the positive praise it deserves. Several years ago I was listening to the GoadKicker podcast by Carl Smith and he was talking about the rebooted Rai comic from Valiant. He could say enough good things about it. I thought what the heck I’ll check it out. I was pleasantly surprised at the fantastic art and storytelling. I then proceeded to read their super hero team title called Unity. Which then lead to the Ninjak title they print. Last but not least I ran into Faith which Carl had mentioned too I just never got around to her title until a few weeks ago. A side note, I have purposely for the most part avoiding Marvel and DC. A way of rebelling against the populace. Yeah I’m a rebel. Jim Shooter and David Lapham created Faith Herbert (code name Zephyr) in 1992. She is a sci-fi and comic book nerd, which leads her to adopt more traditional superhero characteristics than her friends, such as secret identities and super-names. She is a huge fan of Doctor Who. She’s a legit fan girl who creates listicles and posts cat videos by day while fighting crime by night. Physically Faith isn’t your stereotypical female hero. What I mean she’s not a size zero with a large bust line. That may sound crude, but come one guys let’s face it. Comic artist get a little carried away when it comes to the female form in comics. I like the fact the creators of Faith made her more realistic. She’s one us, one of the nerds who doesn’t look like how society wants are young woman to look. She’s not super skinny she’s not into being popular and pretty. She just wants to enjoy the nerdy stuff she enjoys and oh by the way use her powers for good. In fact many of her story lines she questions the motives of the other hero’s because she doesn’t want to inadvertently hurt someone else. She has a n innocence about her. And that’s why she’s a breath of fresh air. She’s relatable trying to balance a job a boyfriend and catching the latest episode of Dr. Who. Since her character is innocence it’s nice to read a more light hearted book. Maybe you can relate, when you are reading more dark books does it affect your mood? I know I can get that way, I have to realize when it’s time to move to something lighter. The darker topics and titles are okay, but just like anything in moderation. I should also clarify that the Faith title doesn’t tackle any tough issues, but her character lends itself to not going there. You aren’t going to see her break a bad guys back on purpose. In fact she goes out of her way to avoid hurting anyone if possible. Let alone kill any one. Another interesting item I found was in the first appearance of Faith in Harbinger #1 1992. When she is found out that she has super powers she thinks the people who came to see her are there to make fun of her. Which as a nerd most of us can relate when were younger, we were afraid we were going to get made fun of because of the nerdy things we like. It defiantly hints that she has been bullied at school. Look at the list of accolades this title has gotten over the years.   Faith was named one of The 16 Best Comics of 2016 by Nerdist. Faith was named one of The 7 best new comics of 2016 by Vox. Faith was named one of The 14 Best Comics Of 2016 by Uproxx. Faith was named one of The 7 Best Comics & Graphic Novels of 2016 by Barnes & Nobles. The Faith #1 (ongoing series) Kevin Wada cover was the years' best cover on the Vulture list of The 10 Best Comic-Book Covers of 2016. Faith Vol. 1: Hollywood and Vine TPB was named one of the Best of 2016 by the Everett Public Library system Faith Vol. 1: Hollywood and Vine TPB was named one of the Best Comics & Graphics Novels of 2016 by Amazon   Nominations 2016 Diamond Gem Award Nominations 2016 Best Comic Book of the Year: Faith #1 (Ongoing) 2016 Best New Comic Book Series: Faith – Valiant Entertainment 2016 Reprint TP or HC of the Year: Faith TPB Volume 1: Hollywood & Vine Faith, Volume 1: Hollywood and Vine TPB was nominated for the 2016 Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers List from YALSA.   The great thing is they put most of her stories in long TPB form. Which like I said in my last episode is great to read because you can binge on a long story. Pick up any of her trades, you won’t be disappointed. And look at other Valiant titles they have some good titles.   Shout Outs MEGA podcast That one time I was abducted Two Headed Nerds Bandrew Says podcast   Thanks again for listening visit covertnerd.net to contact me

¡We are back, Pacientes Oyentes! Aquí estamos de nuevo, con algo más de retraso de lo que quisieramos, pero inasequibles al desaliento. Nuestras disculpas, tanto por la (ay, recurrente) demora en publicar como por algunos problemas que hemos tenido en la calidad del audio, y que os explicamos al comienzo de este episodio. La verdad es que hemos tenido más contratiempos para sacar este podcast que los que le suceden a Peter Parker en todo el metraje de Spiderman: Homecoming. Y ya que lo mencionamos, hablamos de un tema que nos encanta, y que no puede ser más tendencia en este momento: Los superhéroes, esos desfacedores de entuertos, con poderes sobrehumanos, que sobrevuelan la ciudad en pijama. Sin intención de hacer un repaso exhaustivo, en esta tertulia cada uno de nosotros hablamos de tres héroes de las viñetas que nos hacen especial gracia por una u otra razón. No esperéis que nos vayamos a los personajes más icónicos: Como mentes eclécticas y algo dementes que somos, veréis que nos muchas veces nos hemos salido por peteneras, y hemos apostado por personajes que no son tan conocidos (muchos aún no tienen película o serie, imaginate) o cuya superheroicidad puede ser debatible, pero que tocan nuestra fibra sensible por uno u otro motivo. Así que a continuación os ofrecemos nuestro sumario, que viene a ser algo así como nuestra alineación soñada de Vengadores Orbitales, por así decirlo. Esperamos que os guste. Faith (Valiant Comics). Que no os engañe el aspecto no normativo de Faith Herbert. De nombre en clave Zephyr, es sin duda una de las superheroinas del Universo Valiant más dignas de tal nombre, con poderes de vuelo y campos de fuerza, que igual puede salvar unos gatitos que abortar una invasión alienígena, con tiempo para volver a casa y revisionar por enésima vez Buffy Cazavampiros. Aquaman (DC Comics). Arthur Curry, superhumano anfibio y heredero del pueblo submarino de Atlantis, es uno de los personajes históricos de DC. Sus poderes submarinos y su representación en algunos medios pueden haberle hecho motivo de chanza entre algunos aficionados, como vemos en The Big Bang Theory, pero en la actualidad es una de las bestias pardas del universo DC, como atestigua su inminente protagonismo en la película de La Liga de La Justicia. Squirrel Girl (Marvel Comics). "She eat nuts, and kick butts!". Tener la fuerza y habilidades proporcionales de una ardilla puede no parecer gran cosa, pero esto no acompleja en lo más mínimo a Doreen Green, la Chica Ardilla, que es capaz de apalizar a villanos como el Doctor Muerte, Kraven el Cazador o Galactus... y si hace falta, darles un abrazo para que se sientan queridos y se replanteen su carrera criminal. De lo más divertido de Marvel Comics ahora mismo, palabra. Calico Electrónico (Nikodemo Animation): Originalmente una mascota publicitaria de la empresa ElectronicaWeb, este superheroe bajito, barrigón, con un acento algo cerrado y un sentido del humor tan peculiar como procaz protagonizó durante años una webserie basada en animación Flash que se convertiría en uno de los primeros fenomenos virales en España. Ms Marvel (Marvel Comics): Khamala Khan es una inteligente adolescente americana de origen pakistaní, que cuando adquiere superpoderes metamórficos, no duda en enfundarse las mallas a imagen y semejanza de su ídolo, la Capitana Marvel, para combatir el crimen en su barrio. Ms Marvel es un comic muy divertido, pero que no duda en tocar temas sociales y que es el ejemplo más notable de la apuesta por la diversidad que ha hecho Marvel Comics en los ultimos años. Supergirl (DC Comics): A pesar de tener un personaje con una larga historia (creado en los 60, nada menos) y de ser de los primeros superhéroes en contar con una película, allá en los 80, Kara Zor-El ha tenido una azarosa vida editorial, sobre todo desde que DC optó por "matar" al personaje en los 80, y recuperarlo mediante nuevas encarnaciones. En todo caso parece que Kara vive un nuevo resurgimiento, sobre todo gracias a la reciente serie de televisión de CW. Starman (DC Comics): Jack Knight es el hijo de Ted Knight, un viejo superhéroe de los 40, que se ve obligado a asumir a regañadientes el rol de superhéroe cuando su hermano es asesinado y proteger a su ciudad natal, Opal City. Este es el inicio de una deliciosa colección de los 90, que aprovecha para rendir homenaje a la rica historia editorial de DC Comics, desde los años 40 hasta el presente, rindiendo homenaje al pasado, pero siempre desde una perspectiva moderna. Super Lopez (Ediciones B): Super López, uno de los personajes todavía vigentes de la Editorial Bruguera, no necesita presentación. Nuestra versión patria, paródica y bigotuda de Superman, trabaja en una oficina, sujeto a los jefes explotadores y los compañeros trepas, y además las mallas del traje le hacen arrugas, pero eso no le detendrá de combatir el crimen, aunque pueda llevarse alguna bofetada por el camino. Que el tono de comedia no os despiste, porque Jan, el autor completo de la serie, puede llegar a tratar temas muy serios debajo del aire de cachondeo. Star Contra Las Fuerzas del Mal (Disney): Oriunda del mundo mágico de Mewni, Star es una preadolescente de 13 años que está destinada a comvertirse en su reina y combatir las amenazas mágicas con su varita... Lástima que Star sea un trasto que la lía parda la primera vez que usa sus poderes, y sus padres tengan que mandarla a la Tierra como alumna de intercambio a ver si se encauza... pero no parece. Combatiendo fuerzas diabólicas a base de ataques de tan tronchantes como "¡Estampida de Unicornios!" o "¡Perritos Laser!", Star Contra Las Fuerzas Del Mal se ríe y subvierte los estereotipos de las series de acción para niños y para niñas. Doctor Fate (DC Comics): Desde el principio de los tiempos, la entidad cósmica conocida como Nabú, el Señor Del Orden, puede poseer a mortales a través de un casco encantado, para convertirse en un hechicero capaz de rechazar los ataques místicos de las Fuerzas del Caos. Fate es otro personaje que ha sufrido muchas vicisitudes editoriales, pero es una interesante vuelta de tuerca al concepto de hechicero supremo que representa el Doctor Strange en Marvel. Hulka (Marvel Comics): Cuando su prima, la abogada Jennifer Walters, es tiroteada por la Mafia, a Bruce Banner solo se le ocurrió hacerle una transfusión de su sangre, para salvarla, convirtiéndola en una mujer verde, superfuerte y de 2 metros de altura. Pero no os apuréis, si Hulk es un monstruo furioso, Hulka es inteligente, desinhibida y con un gran sentido del humor. Los mejores comics que ha tenido tienen una vertiente de comedia pero nosotros nos centramos en la genial y deliciosamente absurda etapa dibujada y escrita por John Byrne, donde ella es consciente de que forma parte de un comic. Mazinger Z (Shüeisha): Eh, no nos miréis así. ¿Alguien le pone pegas a Tony Stark por llamarse a si mismo "superhéroe" cuando tan solo se pone una armadura? Pues Koji Kabuto solo se pone una "armadura" más grande para combatir a los Brutos Mecánicos. De 10 metros de altura, para ser exactos. Bromas aparte, hablamos de este personaje que forma parte de la memoria sentimental de mucha gente de nuestra edad, y que también ha tenido muchas encarnaciones, desde la más clásica hasta la reciente "Edición Impacto"... ¡y hasta una versión valenciana!
