When you look at your life through the lens of your worst mistakes, it can feel like a devastating exile. But what if God chose to rewrite your history, leaving out the wreckage of your past to remind you of who you can become? In this study of 1 & 2 Chronicles, we uncover the ultimate "highlight reel" of scripture—a book written not to say "I told you so," but to declare that your punishment is past and your restoration has begun. Summary: In this deep-dive episode, we unpack the unique theological genius of 1 & 2 Chronicles. While the books of Samuel and Kings offer the brutal raw history of Israel's failures leading into Babylon, Chronicles was compiled after the exile to bind up the wounds of a broken people and point them toward the temple and the coming Messiah. The Synoptic History: We explore why Chronicles acts as a separate, more positive version of Israel's history—similar to how Matthew, Mark, and Luke provide distinct perspectives on the life of Christ. A Perfect and Unified Heart: We analyze David's coronation in Hebron, exploring what it looks like when a community closes ranks with a "perfect heart" to build the kingdom of God. Seeking Beyond Keeping: We break down David's final charge to Solomon, challenging us to not only keep the commandments we have, but to actively seek out the instructions and light we don't yet possess. The Illusion of Sacrifice: We deconstruct the beauty of voluntary giving, reminding ourselves that returning a portion of our time, talents, or tithing to the Lord is never a true loss because "all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee." The Battle of Praise: We journey into 2 Chronicles 20 to witness King Jehoshaphat's stunning victory, discovering why placing singers over soldiers and worship over war transforms our "valleys of decision" into "valleys of blessing." The Clean Vessel: We track Hezekiah's urgent temple cleansing, exploring how the immediate removal of internal debris and structural compromises suddenly opens the floodgates for the windows of heaven to pour out mercy. Call-to-Action: The Chronicler reminds us that no matter how far we have drifted or how deep our exile has been, the Lord's covenant is everlasting and His mercy is ready to meet a broken heart. Have you ever experienced a season where you felt defined by your spiritual detours, only to feel the Savior gracefully "rewrite" your future and call you back to His house?

As football fans across the globe gear up for the World Cup final on Sunday, Jonathan talks to the author of a new book that uncovers a hidden story: the Jewish players who were once football's biggest stars. David Bolchover reveals how it was Jewish footballers that dominated some of Europe's best teams, reinventing much of the way the game is played - until they were brutally murdered in the Holocaust. Their phenomenal achievement has been all but forgotten, to the extent that many imagine “Jewish footballer” to be an oxymoron if not the punchline to a joke. Instead, it sheds light on an era of forgotten Jewish sporting glory - and the world that was extinguished in the Shoah   00:00 Introduction to Jewish Football History 03:08 The Role of Jews in Football Before the Holocaust 05:39 Zygmunt Sztoyanman: A Football Legend's Story 08:15 Josef Braun: The Hebrew Ronaldo 11:07 Political Affiliations of Jewish Football Clubs 13:57 The Evolution of Football Tactics and Jewish Influence 18:05 The Impact of the Holocaust on Jewish Footballers 19:11 Erasure of Jewish Football History 21:07 Legacy of Jewish Football in Modern Israel  

England is full of history… but so much has been forgotten. In this video I sit down with Jack from Past and Curious to uncover the stories that have faded from time. We talk sin eating, the first English fairy story, the pagan texts of the Anglo Saxons... all the way to a fascinating conspiracy Jack may have uncovered related to Gawain and the Green Knight. It's all here!* I recommend watching the accompanying video as oppose to just listening, as I have included helpful details and visuals to bring the conversation to life *

Thanks to Osprey Publishing for sponsoring this series 'The British army Vs...'  You can check out all the books mentioned via this link - ospreypublishing.com  In today's episode, we explore how the British Army learned to fight in North America during the French and Indian War, facing a completely different kind of warfare against Native American warriors in the American wilderness. From the shock of early encounters like the Battle of Monongahela to the gradual adaptation of redcoat tactics, this is the story of how British soldiers were forced to rethink everything they knew about war. Fighting in dense forests against an elusive enemy who used ambush, concealment, and mobility, the British Army had to evolve or fail. This video breaks down the clash between European linear warfare and irregular woodland fighting, and explains how the redcoats adapted, improved, and ultimately became effective in one of the most challenging theatres of war in British military history.

ICYMI, our old friend the food pyramid has been flipped on its head. The Trump administration recently issued new dietary guidelines that it says will "revolutionize our nation's food culture." It's a bold claim—but since when has the government been in the business of telling us what to eat in the first place? How does it know how much of each nutrient will keep us healthy, and why are all the different forms of this advice—the Recommended Daily Allowances or RDAs, those Daily Values on food packaging nutrition labels, and the ever-shifting food pyramid—so confusing, and even contradictory? This episode, we're going back to the beginning to make sense of it all, with some help from pioneering women scientists, horses in obstacle courses, and, of course, Dick Van Dyke. Grab your climbing gear and join us to scale the food pyramid, wade through the swamp of alphabet soup acronyms, and, finally, figure out what this all has to do with what ends up on your plate.

Ben Pascoe finds out about the Engerau camp that was located in Petrzalka at the end of the Second World War. This forgotten chapter of Bratislava's history was commemerated at the Petrzalka cemetary on the 26th of March.

(00:00:00) First, we look at the work of Dr. Louis S. Hopkins, whose forty years of research into Lancaster’s African American past blends rigorous scholarship with lived experience. Growing up in segregated southeast Lancaster City, Dr. Hopkins developed a deep awareness of how geography, access, and memory inform the historical record. His ongoing efforts to recover stories long pushed to the margins challenge us to reconsider how communities understand their own past. (00:22:24) We then shift to a post‑lecture conversation with Tracie Potts, Executive Director of the Eisenhower Institute at Gettysburg College, following David M. Rubenstein’s recent Blavatt Lecture: “The Declaration of Independence at 250: Its Origins and Importance.” Potts reflects on the event, Rubenstein’s insights, and why examining the nation’s founding document matters as the U.S. approaches its semi quincentennial.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

BGMania B-Sides #41 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bedroth steps into Escape from Ever After, a recently released indie title that twists classic fairy tale imagery into something far more eerie, introspective, and emotionally charged. What begins as a familiar storybook setup slowly unravels into a dreamlike escape, where whimsy and unease exist side by side and nothing quite feels as safe or predictable as it should. The soundtrack mirrors that tonal shift beautifully, blending delicate melodies, melancholic textures, and subtly unsettling atmospheres that feel hand-stitched to the game's world. Soft instrumentation gives way to darker harmonic turns, creating music that feels reflective, fragile, and quietly tense without ever becoming overwhelming. It's a score that invites you to linger, to feel the weight behind the fantasy, and to sit with the uneasy question of what “happily ever after” really means once the curtain is pulled back. 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!

This message kicks off the new series “Forgotten Stories of Christmas,” focusing on Joseph, the quiet and often overlooked father of Jesus. While Scripture records no words from Joseph, his actions reveal incredible strength. When his plans fell apart, he didn't react in anger or shame—he paused, listened for God's voice, and obeyed. His life shows that real faith isn't loud, it's steady, patient, and trusting.The sermon offers encouragement for anyone facing unexpected changes or broken plans. Joseph reminds us that just because our plans fail doesn't mean God's plan has. When God makes His direction clear, we can step forward with confidence.

Before Hacks and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, there was the comedienne who started it all. First Lady of Laughs: The Forgotten Story of Jean Carroll (NYU Press, 2024) tells the story of Jean Carroll, the first Jewish woman to become a star in the field we now call stand-up comedy. Though rarely mentioned among the pantheon of early stand-up comics such as Henny Youngman and Lenny Bruce, Jean Carroll rivaled or even outshone the male counterparts of her heyday, playing more major theaters than any other comedian of her period. In addition to releasing a hit comedy album, Girl in a Hot Steam Bath, and briefly starring in her own sitcom on ABC, she also made twenty-nine appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show.Carroll made enduring changes to the genre of stand-up comedy, carving space for women and modeling a new form of Jewish femininity with her glamorous, acculturated, but still recognizably Jewish persona. She innovated a newly conversational, intimate style of stand-up, which is now recognized in comics like Joan Rivers, Sarah Silverman, and Tiffany Haddish. When Carroll was ninety-five she was honored at the Friars Club in New York City, where celebrities like Joy Behar and Lily Tomlin praised her influence on their craft. But her celebrated career began as an impoverished immigrant child, scrounging for talent show prize money to support her family.Drawing on archival footage, press clippings, and Jean Carroll's personal scrapbook, First Lady of Laughs restores Jean Carroll's remarkable story to its rightful place in the lineage of comedy history and Jewish American performance.

But her celebrated career began as an impoverished immigrant child, scrounging for talent show prize money to support her family.Drawing on archival footage, press clippings, and Jean Carroll's personal scrapbook, First Lady of Laughs restores Jean Carroll's remarkable story to its rightful place in the lineage of comedy history and Jewish American performance.

The story is so remarkable, it's become a documentary that won Best Short Documentary awards at the Poppy Jasper International Film Festival and Red Dirt Film Festival. And there are more festivals screening the film in 2025.He's an author, a musician, an attorney, a law professor, an avid cyclist, and a champion of women in music.Meet John Thomas!

On the 100th anniversary of the League of Nations' 1925 Resolution on the Collaboration of the Press in the Organisation of Peace, we talk with Professor Kaarle Nordenstreng to explore how media, moral disarmament, and broadcasting shaped interwar internationalism and later global media debates. Professor Nordenstreng shares his thoughts on his research on the 1925 Resolution and the developments that led up to the 1936 International Convention on the Use of Broadcasting in the Cause of Peace. He connects these landmarks to the first mass media declaration by UNESCO in 1978. He also recounts highlights from his career from his early involvement in radio to interviewing Carl Jung in 1961, and speaking at the UN in 1982, and reflects on the continuing challenges of journalistic ethics, disarmament, and multilateralism today. The episode connects past media diplomacy to today's challenges, urging renewed focus on media ethics, international cooperation, and the power of journalism to shape public opinion for peace.

August 7, 1943. Off the coast of Venezuela, a Nazi U-boat is under siege. For nine days, it's hunted by Allied aircraft across the Caribbean, until its engines fail and its commander gives the order: abandon ship. Forty-three German sailors plunge into shark-infested waters, and are pulled out by their enemy - the United States. The Germans think the worst is behind them. Instead, they're headed for a POW camp in the American heartland, where life will actually be pretty comfortable. They play soccer, harvest corn, eat well… until things turn violent.  How did Nazi prisoners of war end up murdering each other on U.S. soil? And what does American justice look like when applied to the enemy? Special thanks to William Geroux, author of The Fifteen: Murder, Retribution, and the Forgotten Story of Nazi POWs in America.

Mens Room Question: What was the most embarrassing or important thing that you forgot?

Mens Room Question: What was the most embarrassing or important thing that you forgot?

One October morning in 2018, journalist William Geroux says he was returning some books to his local Virginia Beach Library when he noticed a new state historical marker planted in the ground near the front entrance. It said the library was built on the site of a World War II prisoner of war camp. In Mr. Giroux's author's note in his latest book called "The Fifteen," he writes that he "was surprised and a little embarrassed" not to know that, during World War II, the U S had 700 POW camps spread throughout the United States in 46 different states, housing 371,683 German soldiers and 49,784 Italians. His book is subtitled "Murder, Retribution, and the Forgotten Story of Nazi POWs in America." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The American government was faced with an unprecedented challenge: where to house the nearly 400,000 German prisoners of war plucked from the battlefield and shipped across the Atlantic. On orders from President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Department of War hastily built hundreds of POW camps in the United States. Today, traces of those camps—which once dotted the landscape from Maine to California—have all but vanished. Forgotten, too, is the grisly series of killings that took place within them: Nazi power games playing out in the heart of the United States. My guest today is William Geroux, a World War II expert and author of "The Fifteen: Murder, Retribution, and the Forgotten Story of Nazi POWs in America". He discusses the origins of the German prisoner-of-war camps, the daily lives of the men held there, and the deep divisions between hardline Nazis and less political prisoners—tensions that ultimately led to a series of murders and the prosecution of fifteen POWs.

Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, the podcast for those who believe life gets better—and even sweeter—with age. I'm your host, Paul Vogelzang, and today we're diving into the soul-stirring legacy of two musical giants whose voices, harmonies, and vision shaped the very sound of a generation: Curtis Mayfield and Jerry Butler. If you grew up spinning 45s on your record player or gathered around the radio to hear those smooth, soaring harmonies, then you already know that Mayfield and Butler weren't just voices—they were storytellers, activists, and pioneers of a sound that broke barriers. Together, they helped shape the golden age of soul music, and their influence continues to inspire generations. But did you know that before the world knew them as soul legends, they were just two young men from Chicago's Cabrini-Green projects, united by gospel music, ambition, and a dream of something bigger? Today, we'll uncover the fascinating story of how Jerry Butler and Curtis Mayfield met, formed the Impressions, and created hits like the unforgettable “For Your Precious Love.” We'll also explore why Jerry's path ultimately led him to go solo—and how Curtis turned his heartbreak into a revolutionary career that brought soul music into the Civil Rights Movement. Joining us today is returning guest Scott Shea, a writer and expert in music history, whose latest article brings these incredible stories to life. From Curtis Mayfield's genius as a songwriter to Jerry Butler's powerful, underrated baritone, we'll reflect on their journey, their struggles, and their lasting impact on American music and culture. This one's for the music lovers, the memory keepers, and anyone who remembers the days when a song could soothe your soul and spark a revolution. So grab a cup of coffee or tea, sit back, and let's celebrate the legacy of two legends who reminded us all to “Keep on Pushing.” I'm Paul Vogelzang, and this is The Not Old Better Show. Let's get started.
