Released February 12, 2026, for $29.99, this 2D action-platformer—marketed as a Metroidvania—explores young Kratos during his Spartan Agoge training alongside brother Deimos, framed by adult Kratos (voiced by T.C. Carson) narrating to Calliope.Analytic Dreamz breaks down the core premise, gameplay execution, and franchise implications. The ~12-hour experience features light/heavy attacks, parry/dodge mechanics, color-coded enemy attacks, and "Gifts from Olympus" abilities like double jump and slingshot. Exploration includes interconnected maps, collectibles (owls, lore, olive trees), optional bosses, and upgrades via blood orbs.Critically, it holds a 69 Metacritic / 70 OpenCritic score—the lowest in the 20+ year God of War series—praised for brotherhood themes and retro style but criticized for stiff combat lacking impact, shallow Metroidvania elements, limited backtracking encouragement, repetitive story loops, and basic progression. Visuals sit between retro and modern but lack cinematic scale. The co-op controversy—initial listings implied full campaign support, but it's limited to post-game challenge mode—sparked confusion and refund requests.User scores sit higher at 8.2, with some quick Platinum achievements. Analytic Dreamz examines if this low-risk spin-off serves as franchise maintenance amid Greek trilogy remake news, or falls short of mainline prestige.Tune in as Analytic Dreamz delivers a concise, no-holds-barred breakdown of this polarizing entry—serviceable but forgettable for many, yet a nostalgic Greek-era return for fans.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/exclusive-contentPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

How might believers get back to offering the gifts of suffering-faith, perseverance, empathy, and hope-to those living in a literal world of hurt?People used to seek support from the Church when life got hard. But instead of providing a place for people to suffer well together, many churches today focus more on big growth, how-to programs, and positive news. If we come to value comfort over depth, chasing after more safe, predictable lives, we risk diminishing our light and His hope.In Holy Disturbance, author Karen Sjoblom aims to reacquaint people of faith with the gifts of suffering by weaving historical and current-day narratives around Reverend Addison Groff's timeless prayer, "Disturb Us, O Lord." Focused on equipping and encouraging pastors, leaders, volunteers, and congregants, Sjoblom invites the Church and Her people to move toward deeper faith and community-especially within our storms.Study how and why we've drifted from being suffering servantsRead dozens of stories from congregants, leaders, and pastors about grief, recovery, hurt, and growth within the ChurchSoak in reflection questions, meaningful practices, and leadership wisdom to map a new course for your church and community-and a renewed thirst for GodSuffering engenders messier lives but richer, deeper connections...and this is what the Church was built for. Holy Disturbance is part love letter and part wake-up call to the Church and Her people-to recognize the gifts that come from our seasons of struggle, and to share our hard-won lessons and His hope with a hurting world.About Karen:An award-winning author, freelance writer, and editor, Karen Sjoblom has had a 40-year career in healthcare, science, education, high tech, and nonprofit communications, as well as decades in faith-based nonfiction. She also co founded and ran for nine years Eve‟s Daughters, a nonprofit for single moms and their kids outside of Portland, Oregon. In addition to Holy Disturbance, she‟s published Gone for Good: Lessons from a Midlife Exodus; One: Single Mothering, Full Circle from her time with Eve‟s Daughters; two parenting books with New Leaf Press as part of the Mom2Mom series; plus a patient and family handbook on living with Lou Gehrig‟s disease. She‟s also edited several books by multiple authors. She‟s passionate about matters of faith, resilience, and re-creation: studying our stories and scars, witnessing His mercy, and stepping into our missions. She lives in the Midwest, writing, teaching, and encouraging others to know, value, and share the wisdom gained from their life-journeys with a hurting world. Follow Karen:Website: KarenSjoblom.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/karen.sjoblomLinkedIn: https:/www.linkedin.com/in/karensjoblom/

Kelsey shares how her grandmother continues to guide her through dreams, and how stepping into spiritual gifts can bring up the most common block for empaths: lack of confidence and the fear of “am I making this up?” Julie shows how confidence is built through training, practice, and learning to read energy without absorbing it. You will learn why oneness is the new way of healing, how to hold a higher vibration without taking on other people's pain, and how to rewrite the story that questions your intuition.

Revelation 3:12 Some Amazing and Wonderful Personal Heavenly gifts to Christians!Support the show

In this episode, I'm talking about gifts: the ones you were born with (like them or not) and the ones you've cultivated over time. I share more of my own story here: growing up as a Christian with legit intuitive prowess, apprenticing spiritual teachers across many traditions, learning the real work of mediumship, and learning how to carry spiritual abilities in a practical, grounded way.  We talk about my gifts and yours. How intuition is both a gift and a skill, protecting your gifts, and why using what you've been given is both an honor and a responsibility. I also reflect on indigenous stewardship, bridging more universal spiritual ideas with Christian faith and language, and what it means to contribute in uncertain times. Your gift may not look mystical. It may be patience, the best sloppy joe's this side of Detroit or public speaking, crocheting, listening or leadership.  Whatever it is, it's not accidental. And it's not meant to sit unused. This episode can help. 3 Takeaways for you: If a strength has been consistent in your life, it's not a coincidence.It's yours to use, share and offer up.  Stop treating it like it's optional.Intuition can be strengthened.You trust yourself by listening, acting, and setting boundaries not by waiting to feel certain.Your gifts create impact when you use them. Keeping them small keeps your influence small. Using them changes things.

We usually think a 'gift with strings attached' is a bad thing, but the Torah actually forbids giving without them. No Free Gifts | Terumah, Purim & The Language of Reciprocity There is no such thing as a free gift. In this episode of Madlik Disruptive Torah, Geoffrey Stern and Rabbi Adam Mintz explore Parshat Terumah through the provocative lens of French sociologist Marcel Mauss and his groundbreaking work The Gift.

The longest chapter in the Torah reads like a divine receipt, recording the identical offerings of twelve tribal leaders over twelve days. To our modern ears, this repetition can sound like a broken record, a tedious list of ancient gifts. But in God's economy, this repetition is a profound declaration of the Gospel. It proclaims that each tribe, each leader, each individual gift is seen, known, and precious in His sight. This chapter demonstrates that a people purified by God's blessing respond with their best, and in turn, they receive the greatest gift of all: God's voice speaking peace from the mercy seat.  The Rev. David Vandercook, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in North Little Rock, AR and Shepherd of Peace Lutheran Church in Maumelle, AR, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Numbers 7.  To learn more about Trinity and Shepherd of Peace, visit trinitynlr.com and shepherdofpeace.net The Book of Numbers is far more than an ancient census report. It is the story of a people learning to trust God in the wilderness, and failing, and finding grace anyway.  In this series, host Pastor Phil Booe and guest pastors walk through the Old Testament book of Numbers chapter by chapter. We follow Israel from Sinai toward the Promised Land, through grumbling and rebellion, fiery serpents and a talking donkey, faithless spies and faithful priests. The journey is hard, the failures are many, and God remains faithful to a faithless people.  These ancient accounts point us to Christ. The bronze serpent lifted on a pole points to the cross. The rock struck for water points to the one struck for us. The high priest whose death frees the manslayer points to the Great High Priest whose death sets us free forever. Join us as we discover that the wilderness has more to teach us than we ever expected. 

6 Gifts for Valentines | Pastor Joshua Redding by Highlight Church

Send a textLove shows up in candy aisles, awkward expectations, and the checkout line—with a side of sticker shock—so we dig into the real question: do you still buy Valentines for your kids, even when they're grown? Our table splits, and that sparks a bigger conversation about what Valentine's Day really measures: affection, effort, or how well you dodge commercialization without sounding like a grinch. We talk thoughtful ideas that land, gifts that flop, and why recycled intimacy doesn't count as a present.The ride swerves into real life: Girl Scouts turned tap-to-pay pros, Walmart locking up basics, and fundraiser candy that shrank while prices climbed. Then we jump from aisles to arenas with a brush-by of Lady Gaga's team and a peek at the machine behind major tours—sealed phones, tight rehearsal windows, and camera crews moonlighting from the Super Bowl and Taylor Swift's juggernaut. We stack ticket prices across Gaga, WrestleMania, and smaller venues like Lupe Fiasco's anniversary show to find the sweet spot between spectacle and sanity. Pro tip: presales and intimate rooms often deliver bigger memories than nosebleeds at eight times the price.Because culture is also under the hood, we clash over EV trucks vs gas—range anxiety vs torque joy, generators on wheels vs the ritual of the pump—and admit some new designs finally look clean enough to sway skeptics. And since every great debate needs fuel, we put local spots on notice about gizzards, smothered chicken, and what “simmered right” actually means.

Oliver's monologue on a Monday.

Pastor Andy Cass We all crave something—and whatever we crave is shaping our lives more than we realize. This message invites you to pause, look beneath the surface, and consider what your desires are really leading you toward. TEXT: 1 Corinthians 12:31; 1 Corinthians 12:1–2;Numbers 11:26–29; Colossians 3:2; 1 Corinthians 6:9–11 NOTES: -Choose your crave, instead of your crave choosing you. -What we crave is what will direct us. -The problem: Unintentionally, our cravings are carving ruts in our lives, and before we know it, we are stuck. The plan: we can crave different with the Holy Spirit's help. -Craving the wrong thing can make you miss the right gifts. -Crave for His filling, forming, fullness, and fruit. -Gifts reveal who we are, how to love, and what we are invited into. 1.

How to Use the Gifts God Has Given Us 2-15-26 Msgr. Knox

1 Timothy 3 “Although I hope I can come to you soon, I am writing these things to you now. Then, even if I am delayed, you will know how to live in the family of God. That family is the church of the living God, the support and foundation of the truth.” – 1 Tmothy 3:14-15  NCV Context: God provides a place. God gives life, gives love, and provides a place for us. From the Garden to the travels of his people with Tabernacles and a Temple, God lives among his people. God's design always includes his purpose, passion, pleasure, and places for relationship. God showed us love by sending Jesus Christ to be “God with us”, creating an opportunity for constant access. From the Garden to Tabernacles, Temple, and the local church, God's design has always included opportunities for stewardship and shared responsibilities. The stability of our lives is found by building our lives on the teaching of Jesus. The House of God is cared for and given further strength by Jesus' followers, ‘a priesthood of all believers' and 4 Gifts of equipping leaders who serve. With agape love as motivation, following the example of Jesus and the New Testament leaders, today's local church serving leaders function in their gifts and equip the believers to do the same. Jesus-followers lead by serving: “I am among you as one who serves.” – Jesus in Luke 22:20-27  Mark 10:43-45 Serve – to give help by performing certain duties, often of a humble or menial nature Choosing acts of service that show love and respect. “Whoever wants to be first must take last place and be the servant of everyone else.” – Jesus in Mark 9:33-37  John 12:26 “the leader should be like a servant,” – Jesus in Luke 22:26 Jesus' word “servant” = server, dedicated focused faithful – helper, attendant, apprentice, collaborator, companion “And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other's feet. I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you.” – John 13:14-15 “Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.” – Matthew 20:26, 28 “Anyone who wants to serve me must follow me, because my servants must be where I am. And the Father will honor anyone who serves me.” – John 12:26 Deacon “Deacon” 1 Timothy 3:8 – servant of the master, helping/caring for the needs of believers according to their assignment (such as the stewardship of food provisions for those in need, in Acts 6:3) Please review our Deacon Bible Study. Qualifications listed in 1 Timothy 3:8-13   Our church family is served by a team of leaders, including deacons and elders, who meet the qualifications, seen in 1 Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-9.  A City Harbor Church Deacon is a person who has been selected, equipped, and recognized with specific serving leadership assignment (s). They have been chosen. They have responded with a commitment to a specific responsibility, within the vision, values, and expectations of City Harbor.  Elder Elder – overseer of the local church The Eldership has a spiritual responsibility for and is accountable to the Lord for their  stewardship of the overall vision, values and doctrine of the church as well as the spiritual  health of the congregation. This is all to ensure that the gospel is preached, people are  added to the church and people are discipled in order to live like Jesus and to share His love. Being an Elder is not about having  position but fulfilling a call to servant leadership through the care, oversight and leadership for the flock.   An Elder is an overseer of God's household which means they are a steward, charged with  the care of God's family. Paul says “he must be” as he starts to list out fifteen qualifications  to be an Elder. Fourteen of these qualifications are not describing gifting, but the character of an Elder that is needed to be an overseer of God's family. Lastly, Paul says an Elder must be able to teach sound doctrine. 1 Timothy 3:1 “What I say is true: Anyone wanting to become an overseer desires a good work. 2 An overseer must not give people a reason to criticize him, and he must have only one wife. He must be self-controlled, wise, respected by others, ready to welcome guests, and able to teach. 3 He must not drink too much wine or like to fight, but rather be gentle and peaceable, not loving money. 4 He must be a good family leader, having children who cooperate with full respect. 5 (If someone does not know how to lead the family, how can that person take care of God's church?) 6 But an elder must not be a new believer, or he might be too proud of himself and be judged guilty just as the devil was. 7 An elder must also have the respect of people who are not in the church so he will not be criticized by others and caught in the devil's trap.” – 1 Timothy 3:1-7  NCV Titus 1:5 “I left you in Crete so you could finish doing the things that still needed to be done and so you could appoint elders in every town, as I directed you. 6 An elder must not be guilty of doing wrong, must have only one wife, and must have believing children. They must not be known as children who are wild and do not cooperate. 7 As God's managers, overseers must not be guilty of doing wrong, being selfish, or becoming angry quickly. They must not drink too much wine, like to fight, or try to get rich by cheating others. 8 Overseers must be ready to welcome guests, love what is good, be wise, live right, and be holy and self-controlled. 9 By holding on to the trustworthy word just as we teach it, overseers can help people by using true teaching, and they can show those who are against the true teaching that they are wrong.” – Titus 1:5-9  NCV “I exhort the elders among you as a fellow elder and witness to the sufferings of Christ, as well as one who shares in the glory about to be revealed: 2 Shepherd God's flock among you, not overseeing out of compulsion but willingly, as God would have you; not out of greed for money but eagerly; 3 not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. 4 And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory. 5 In the same way, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. All of you clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because ‘God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.'” – 1 Peter 5:1-5  CSB  (Peter to the elders) Elders are shepherds of God's flock and in caring for them, they are to watch over them and care for them with a servant's heart. An Elder leads God's flock, not by what they get  out of it, but by giving to others and being a living example of how to live a Godly life marked by humility. “Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has appointed you as overseers, to shepherd the church of God, which he purchased with his own blood.” – Acts 20:28  CSB (Paul to the Ephesian elders)  context of Acts 20:17-30 Giving “attention to prayer and the ministry of the word.” – Acts 6:3-4  NIV What is an elder? 1.       Born again Jesus follower, water baptized, received the Holy Spirit, committed to a local church. 2.       Having been assessed to meet the requirements of 1 Timothy 3:1-7, Titus 1:5-9, and faithful in the directives of 1 Peter 5:1-5, Acts 20:28 3.       Proven to have been faithful in serving and solid in the teaching of Scripture, not new to this. 4.       Set into the team of overseers of God's household which means they are a steward, charged with the care of God's family. 5.       Giving attention to prayer. & Ready to pray for the healing of the sick. 6.       Being able to teach sound doctrine, a pastor/teacher with a shepherd's heart, for the equipping of the believers to do the work of the ministry. 7.       Living like Jesus in lifestyle of integrity, as an example. What is an elder not? 1.       A boss using coercion. 2.       Free to do whatever they want, however they want. 3.       A lifetime appointee. What should we do? 1.       Gladly receive & respect our elders, according to Scripture. 2.       Pray for their stewardship of our local church. 3.       Pray for the expansion of the Jesus Movement thru us. 4.       Express gratitude to each person who serves our church.

Jonah was angry with God, but then his circumstances changed, and he was happy. His anger seemed to go away, but it didn't actually. Pastor Colin explains what happened to it.

When the dust settles after spiritual abuse and public scandal, is any of this charismatic stuff actually real—or should you walk away from it all for good? Many believers are asking hard questions: “If so much has been falsified, are all prophecies fake? Are healings just wishful thinking? How do I trust again?” In this episode of Remnant Radio, Joshua Lewis, Michael Rowntree and Michael Miller open up as pastors and fellow survivors of charismatic fallout to help you process the pain without abandoning the work of the Spirit.​The hosts will examine:-Can a “cheater” still give an accurate prophetic word?-How do we discern between genuine Christian prophecy, demonic counterfeits, and pure manipulation?-What do we do with verified healings or real words of knowledge that came through morally compromised ministries?-How do we honor spiritual gifts without platforming abusive leaders or building new celebrity cultures?This episode is deeply pastoral and aimed at those who feel spiritually disoriented, retraumatized, or jaded after charismatic abuse. If you're struggling with charismatic ministry gone wrong, this is a safe space to process without being shamed for your doubts. You'll hear how to move from gullibility, through cynicism, into true discernment—learning to separate God's voice from human abuse, and the gifts of the Spirit from the sins of leaders.0:00 – Introduction1:53 – Pastoral scandal response3:05 – Miller's abuse testimony4:00 – Josh's prophetic trauma7:18 – Gifts still real biblically12:00 – Abuse across church offices17:19 – Cheaters getting it right19:48 – Four power sources23:04 – Don't trust exposed prophets28:16 – Ordinary means of grace30:56 – Healing and discernment process36:01 – Submit gifts to God39:18 – Final pastoral encouragement Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.
