One True Podcast does its part to help your summer reading lists by covering a book that is not by Hemingway, but is Hemingway-relevant: Henri Barbusse's Under Fire, the 1916 World War I novel that Frederic Henry and Count Greffi name-drop so provocatively in between sips of icy cold champagne and smoothly fluent billiards shots. This episode covers the first nine chapters of Under Fire, where we discuss why Hemingway damned this novel with such faint praise in his Men at War anthology, how the episodic structure might remind readers of a contemporary work like The Things They Carried, the absence of instantly recognizable characters, and – controversially – whether there's more rain in this novel or in A Farewell to Arms. One True Podcast is never one to shy away from the divisive topics.We hope you'll join us in this summer's long-overdue read of Under Fire. We are using the Penguin Classics edition with an Introduction written by future One True Podcast guest, Professor Jay Winter.

In this episode we continue our conversation with Emielyn Das and Harrison Lewis about their new musical: Seven Steps Around the Fire. Seven Steps Around the Fire follows a young Indian-American woman who must interpret visions of her past seven lifetimes as her queer relationship is threatened by the cultural expectation of arranged marriage. When she unearths secrets surrounding her mother's own identity, she must make the impossible choice between her family and breaking free from the endless karmic cycle holding her down. Featuring a contemporary folk/pop score fused with the sounds of Indian Classical Music, Seven Steps Around the Fire explores Hinduism through the lens of sexuality, asking the timeless question: what will we sacrifice in the name of love?

In Matthew 10:16–23, Jesus prepares His messengers for inevitable hostility by calling them to wise discernment, Spirit-dependent confidence, and faithful endurance to the end.
Our last topic in our "Faith Under Series" is a heart check; what does Christ tell us about generosity?
Part 4 is live now! We're getting close to the end of this series, it's brought forth lots of great questions and conversations.
Accepting God's forgiveness is something that doesn't always feel easy, but why? Today we're talking about some of those questions.
Pastor Jon Verwey 42 “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea. 43 If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out. [44] 45 And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. [46] 47 And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, 48 where “ ‘the worms that eat them do not die, and the fire is not quenched.' 49 Everyone will be salted with fire. 50 “Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty again? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with each other.” — Mark 9:42–50 NIV Does what I am doing move me toward Jesus or away from Him? Does what I am doing make me more like Jesus or less? Everyone will be salted with fire. v. 49 Being “salted with fire” happens when we offer ourselves to Jesus by submitting to Him and His ways. Then the trials of life become a fire that strengthens, purifies, and preserves us instead of destroying us. …let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves. — Galatians 5:16 NLT But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. — Galatians 5:22–23 NLT Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with each other. v. 50b And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another…— Hebrews 10:25 NLT “The Church is the Church only when it exists for others.” — Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty again? v. 50a Don't manage sin—fight it, so that we can be a purified people who bring the life-giving presence of Jesus to the world.
Today we're elaborating on this past Sunday's message, asking this (and similar) questions: what happens to people that have never heard the Gospel when they die?
Pastors Caleb and Chrissy Cole continue the Through the Fire series with “Keeping the Fire Alive.” Teaching from Leviticus 6, Revelation 2, and Ephesians 4, they show how love must be cultivated through daily rhythms, intentional priority, truth in love, and consistent connection.

Send us a textIn this second episode of my perimenopause series, we explore Agni — your digestive and metabolic fire — and why it plays such a central role in the perimenopause transition. Ayurveda teaches that perimenopause isn't just a hormonal shift. It's a metabolic one. A deep recalibration in how the body digests food, processes experience, regulates energy, and maintains balance.Today, I walk through how Agni changes during this time, the three ways Agni can become imbalanced (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha styles), and how these patterns show up physically, mentally, and emotionally. We talk about the connection between digestion, estrogen metabolism, the nervous system, and why supporting your inner fire can bring more steadiness and clarity into this phase of life.This episode is both validating and deeply practical — a gentle guide to understanding your body through the lens of rhythm, nourishment, and internal wisdom.In this episode, I cover: • Why Ayurveda views perimenopause as a metabolic transition • How fluctuating estrogen affects Agni, digestion, heat regulation, and mood • The three main Agni patterns that show up during perimenopause — Vata/ Vishama Agni: irregular, sensitive, unpredictable — Pitta/ Tikshna Agni: hot, sharp, overactive — Kapha/ Manda Agni: slow, heavy, dull • Physical + emotional signs for each pattern • The role of fat tissue, the adrenals, and peripheral estrogen production • How Agni influences Rasa (hydration, lubrication, nourishment) • Why this time is a sacred window for tending your nervous system • Lifestyle, food, and pacing practices to support each type of Agni • The deeper spiritual meaning of tending your “sacred fire” during this transition • How metabolic steadiness supports hormones, sleep, immunity, and overall vitality • Why this transition is refinement — not declineResources:Ayurvedic Dosha Quick Reference Guide Abhyanga Self Massage Guide Weekend Nervous System Reset Nourished For Resilience Workbook Find me at www.nourishednervoussystem.comand @nourishednervoussytem on Instagram

Send us a textStation Nightclub Fire 2003-Scott James wrote the definitive book on the Station Nightclub Fire, in West Warwick, Rhode Island. The book "Trial By Fire" takes the reader by the lapels and propels them trough the actual fire and the grisly aftermath. The author also sheds light on some inaccurate local reporting and political maneuvering, that was uniquely Rhode Island. So many things had to go wrong at the same time in this case and they did. The difference between life and death was mere seconds. Don't miss this episode!

Sermon Date: Aug 31, 2025Sermon Passage: Romans 12:1-2Sermon Speaker: Matt Herron
Words have great power to help, or to hurt; to comfort, or stir up trouble. It's a power that must be controlled or it'll be abused. Thankfully we don't have to wait till death to get control of this powerful instrument. We've been making our way through the book of James. James has reminded us that the world is watching us. But also, the world is listening to us! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1459/29
In the conclusion of our Fire series, we look at the fire of Pentecost. From the fire that fell on Mt. Sinai to the fire that fell in the Upper Room, God reveals Himself as holy and powerful and now His Spirit dwells in us. The same Pentecostal fire that empowered the early church is for us today! Watch and be encouraged to seek His power and boldness in your life.
Consider this a stern and heartfelt warning today on Light on the Hill…. “Watch Your Mouth! You May Start a Fire.” Our tongues can get us into big trouble and when used in a way that doesn't please God, things can go from bad to worse in a hurry. When we choose to exercise care in this area, it changes lives, including your own. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1459/29

In Part 1 of our series Fire, we look at one of the greatest showdowns in history, Elijah vs. the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel. This was more than a contest; it was a call to choose sides. Which God will answer by fire? Discover how God's fire exposes false gods, ignites revival, and points to the ultimate sacrifice, Jesus Christ. Watch and let us know your thoughts!
