The Heroes and Great Stories of the Bible (28) — New TestamentSermon Title: Mary Magdalene — Delivered, Devoted, SentSunday, September 27, 2026What happens when Jesus transforms your life? Gratitude becomes devotion, and your story becomes a testimony that points others to Him.In this message from The Heroes and Great Stories of the Bible, we explore the story of Mary Magdalene, a woman who was delivered by Jesus, remained devoted to Him, and was sent to share the news of His resurrection.Mary's story reminds us that when Jesus truly changes your life, you never forget Who changed it.DELIVERED: NEVER FORGET WHAT JESUS BROUGHT YOU OUT OFLuke 8:1–3 tells us that Mary Magdalene had been delivered from seven demons. Her past was part of her story, but it did not have to become her identity.Don't forget, but don't live there.Our past can remind us of God's grace without determining our future. Remember what Jesus has brought you through, but keep following the One who brought you out.Gratitude produces generosity.DEVOTED: DEVOTION STAYS WHEN OTHERS WALK AWAYMary remained near Jesus through His crucifixion and stayed all the way to the tomb.Even when she didn't understand what God was doing, she stayed.Her story challenges us to ask: Will I follow Jesus when I don't understand? Is my devotion dependent on my circumstances?Don't interpret God through one painful moment. Stay close to Jesus, even when you cannot yet see what He is doing.SENT:  YOUR STORY CAN POINT SOMEONE TO JESUSMary came to the tomb grieving, but Jesus met her in her sorrow and called her by name: “Mary.”She recognized her risen Lord, and Jesus sent her to tell the disciples what she had seen.Mary's deepest sorrow became a testimony of the resurrection.Jesus knows your name. Your story can point someone to Jesus.Your testimony doesn't have to be dramatic. It just needs to point to Him.THREE WORDS TO REMEMBERREMEMBER. Remember something Jesus has brought you through and thank Him.STAY. When you don't understand what God is doing, don't pull away. Stay close to Jesus.TELL. Tell someone something Jesus has done in your life.Mary Magdalene's story is a powerful reminder that you can be Delivered. Devoted. Sent.Remember. Stay. Tell.

⚽ NON-LEAGUE TODAY | WEDNESDAY 23 SEPTEMBER

⚽ NON-LEAGUE TODAY | TUESDAY 22 SEPTEMBER 2026Tonight could be HUGE for Waltham Abbey!

There was a time when surf magazines didn't just report on surf culture—they helped create it.Before influencers, reels, blogs, vlogs, and even the internet, magazines like Surfer were our conduit to the wider surfing world. They told us who mattered, what was happening, where surfing was going, and what was worth celebrating, questioning, or remembering. And the editors were the stewards of that culture.Steve Hawk was at the helm of Surfer Magazine—the “Bible of the Sport”—from 1990 to 1998, one of the most transformative periods in modern surfing. The Momentum Generation was emerging, VHS surf videos were reshaping how we consumed surfing, the culture and aesthetics were changing, and the internet was about to upend everything.In this episode of Swell Season Surf Radio, Steve joins us to look back at those years: the beautifully chaotic Surfer newsroom, the rivalry with Surfing Magazine, the blurry line between editorial independence and the surf industry, and what it meant to help shape surf culture before algorithms took over the job.We also talk about what surfing has gained—and lost—in the digital age, the importance of community in the lineup, and Steve's fascinating career after Surfer, which took him through Surfline, Swell.com, the Tony Hawk Foundation, HBO, Sierra magazine, and Stanford Business.Those seemingly disparate experiences all collide in Steve's debut novel, Nearshore, a fast-moving ocean noir that brings surfing together with Silicon Valley, nuclear terrorism, AI, environmentalism, and some uncomfortable questions about technology, power, and who gets to shape our future.In many ways, Nearshore feels like Steve Hawk's entire career packed into one story.And that gives us a lot to talk about.Steve Hawk is our guest on this episode of Swell Season Surf Radio.Follow Steve on his instagram: @stevehawk6211You can Purchase his new book, “Nearshore” here: https://inkspellbooks.com/book/9798217062331 The Swell Season Surf Podcast is recorded by The NewsStand Studio at Rockefeller Center in the heart of Manhattan and is distributed by The Swell Season Surf Radio Network. For more information, you can follow @swellseasonsurfradio on Instagram or go to our website: www.swellseasonsurf.com Music: Artist: David BowieSong: The Man Who Sold The WorldAlbum: The Man Who Sold The World00:00 Surf Magazines Matter02:08 Meet Steve Hawk04:30 From Rookie to Leader07:13 Learning to Manage09:16 Money and Surfing13:04 Swag and Sponsors15:50 Did Surfer Shape Culture17:39 Great Stories and Writers22:05 Inside Surfer Office30:26 North Shore Slide Nights36:01 Show Up and Be Kind41:14 New York Surf Culture44:35 Rockaway Boardwalk Scene44:54 Diversity In The Lineup47:48 Surf Clubs And Community48:45 Offline Culture Comeback50:38 Surfing And Intellectual Life54:13 Crowds And Finding Empty Peaks55:36 Democratization Of Surf Media01:01:16 Algorithms And Tech Oligarchs01:06:54 Cambridge Analytica And Precrime01:08:48 Billionaire Villain Blueprint01:14:14 Nuclear Terror And Scapegoats01:17:47 Ocean As Antidote01:20:10 Unfettered Capitalism Critique01:24:38 Politics In Fiction01:25:02 Surf Authenticity Details01:25:47 Real Life Stories01:28:52 War Tech And Surfing01:31:21 AI Fear And Control01:33:04 Magazine Rivalries01:35:34 Donut Prank Fallout01:38:58 Split Cover Debate01:42:51 Tudor Cover Myth01:45:38 Surfing Future Predictions01:48:09 Climate And Ocean Threats01:51:33 Media Diet And Bubbles01:55:49 Surfers Questionnaire01:59:25 Where To Find Nearshore02:00:58 Final Thanks And OutroBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/swell-season-surf-radio--3483504/support.

JOHN THE BELOVED: Living Close to the Heart of Jesus | The Heroes and Great Stories of the Bible (27)What if the greatest thing that could be said about our lives isn't what we accomplished for Jesus, but that we learned to live close to Him and love like Him?In this powerful message, we look at the life of John the Beloved and discover how staying close to Jesus transforms our hearts, shapes our identity, and teaches us to love others like Jesus.John began as one of the “Sons of Thunder,” but the closer he walked with Jesus, the more his life reflected the heart of Christ.THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGEAsk yourself:1. What is Jesus changing in my heart?Is there anger, bitterness, offense, pride, or unforgiveness He wants to transform?2. Am I living from the security of being loved by God?Or am I constantly trying to prove myself?3. Who needs to experience the love of Jesus through me?Ask the Holy Spirit:“Help me love this person like Jesus.”Stay close to Jesus. Receive His love. Allow Him to transform your heart, and let His love flow through your life.PROPHETIC ENCOURAGEMENT“Stay close to Me. I am transforming places in your heart that you could never change through your own strength. As you receive My love, you will become freer to give love. Offense will lose its hold, insecurity will lose its voice, and My character will become increasingly visible through your life.”

Send us Fan MailA comedy club can change a city, and it can change a career. We sit down with Emmy Award winners Paul Robbins and Phil Cowan and rewind to the early Laughs Unlimited days in Old Sacramento, when a young room, hungry local comics, and a couple of wildly original radio promos helped build real momentum for stand-up comedy in Northern California. If you love comedy history, comedy club stories, or the behind-the-scenes craft of writing jokes that land, this one is packed with detail.We talk about how two speech team “geeks” turn performance reps into stand-up, then into their one-of-a-kind act, live radio theater, complete with sound effects and scene work in a comedy showroom. That creative swing opens an unexpected door into morning radio at KPOP, and the path keeps unfolding through Y92, big live events, and the kind of listener stunts that only work when the writing is solid and the audience trusts you.From there, the story expands into television, including the Answer Guys on the Discovery Channel and the Emmy wins that came from saying yes to assignments and doing the work even when the schedule got brutal. Along the way we swap classic Laughs Unlimited memories, name the comics who left a mark, and make the case for clean comedy that families can hear in the car without cringing.Subscribe for more stand-up comedy conversations, share this with a friend who misses old-school radio, and leave a review with your favorite comedy club memory.Hosted by: R.

Business storytelling helps leaders build trust, strengthen connection, and turn ideas into action when facts alone aren't enough.

He shares the core stories every business should be able to tell—from its origin to the customers and employees who bring its values to life.

Gregory Leparati lives at the intersection of culture and competition, and he's built a freelance journalism career that turns “niche” communities into stories with wide appeal.We sit down with Gregory to trace how he got started in journalism, why an English background and a college newspaper mattered, and how he balances a communications day job with years of freelance writing and editing. He shares the practical way he chooses story ideas: read constantly, know what outlets are publishing, and chase topics you'd personally want to read. That mindset has helped him write for major publications while staying selective about the work that fits his voice and his time.From there, we go deep on the beats he's known for: motorsports, esports, gaming, technology and travel. Gregory breaks down why Formula One exploded in the United States, how Netflix and social media shaped fandom, and what people miss when they dismiss competitive gaming as “just pressing buttons.” We also talk about emerging tech like AI and autonomous vehicles, and what it means to report on innovation when the human element changes.If you're a PR professional, you'll want the straight talk on pitching: how to tailor outreach to a journalist's wheelhouse, what instantly turns writers off, and why bait-and-switch interview offers poison long-term relationships. Subscribe for more conversations with the people who report on the world around us, and if you enjoy the show, share it and leave a rating and review.Connect with Gregory Leporati:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/gleporati/ Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/gleporati/ LinkTree - https://linktr.ee/gleporati 

Andrew – The Hero Who Brought People to Jesus | The Heroes and Great Stories of the Bible (25)You don't have to be famous to make an eternal difference. Faithfulness is bringing what, and whom you have to Jesus.In this powerful message, we explore the life of Andrew, a disciple who may not have received the same recognition as others, but whose faithfulness had an eternal impact.Before Andrew brought others to Jesus, he encountered Jesus himself. His life reminds us that we cannot substitute ministry for intimacy. Our mission must always flow from our personal relationship with Christ.Four Powerful Lessons from Andrew:1. Before You Bring Someone to Jesus, You Must Encounter Him YourselfChristianity isn't simply knowing information about Jesus, it's knowing Him personally. Before asking, “Who am I bringing to Jesus?” we should also ask, “Am I personally spending time with Jesus?”2. When You Find Jesus, Bring Someone With YouAfter Andrew encountered Jesus, one of the first things he did was find his brother Simon and bring him to Christ. We may feel like someone will never change, but the Spirit reminds us: Keep praying. Keep loving. Bring them to Jesus.3. Never Underestimate What You Can Put in Jesus' HandsAndrew brought a small offering, five loaves and two fish, and placed it before Jesus. What seems small in our hands can become powerful when surrendered to Christ.4. Never Stop Bringing People to JesusAndrew's journey went from bringing one brother, Peter, to bringing a small offering, and eventually helping bring people from the nations to Jesus.Never underestimate where one act of obedience can lead.Andrew never became as prominent as Peter, but before Peter preached to thousands, Andrew brought Peter to Jesus.Today's ChallengeIdentify one person who needs an encounter with Jesus. It may be a family member, friend, coworker, neighbor, or prodigal.Pray for them this week. Look for an opportunity to encourage them, invite them, share your testimony, or simply demonstrate the love of Christ.Don't carry the pressure to change them.Bring them to Jesus, and trust Him with the results.

Mary & Joseph – When God Interrupts Your Plans | The Heroes and Great Stories of the Bible (24)What happens when God's plan interrupts the plans you've made for your life?In this powerful message from The Heroes and Great Stories of the Bible series, we look at Mary and Joseph and discover what it means to trust God when His direction doesn't look anything like what we expected.Mary teaches us surrender. Joseph teaches us obedience. Together, they teach us trust.Mary said yes to God even when she didn't understand how His promise would unfold. Joseph chose obedience even when what he saw seemed to contradict what God had spoken. Neither had the complete roadmap, they simply trusted the One who did.4 Truths from Mary & Joseph:1. Surrender Says Yes Before It Knows All the DetailsMary's response demonstrates genuine surrender: “Let it be done to me according to what you have said.” Faith doesn't require us to understand everything before we obey. It requires us to trust the One who is leading.2. Obedience Trusts God Above What It SeesJoseph reminds us that obedience is faith in motion. Some of our greatest spiritual battles happen between what we see and what God said. Sometimes we don't need another word from God, we need to obey the last one He gave us.3. God's Will Does Not Guarantee an Easy RoadMary and Joseph were in the center of God's will, yet they experienced uncertainty, difficulty, opposition, and closed doors. A difficult season doesn't mean you've missed God.Never judge God's faithfulness by one difficult chapter.4. Surrender Is Not a Moment, It's a LifestyleSurrender means continuing to say “Yes, Lord” when God changes our plans, when obedience costs something, when we don't understand, and when the road becomes difficult.Mary and Joseph didn't have the whole plan. They trusted the One who did. Because two ordinary people said yes, Bethlehem happened, prophecy was fulfilled, the Messiah came, and the world was forever changed.Maybe God is asking you to surrender a plan, relationship, timeline, expectation, or dream.You don't have to know everything that's coming. You only have to know the One who's leading.

John the Baptist – Point People to JesusWhat does it mean to faithfully fulfill your God-given assignment?In this powerful message from the Heroes and Great Stories of the Bible series, we look at the life of John the Baptist, a servant who understood that his purpose was never about gaining recognition, but about preparing the way for Jesus.John's life teaches us that God prepares His servants before He presents them, and that hidden seasons are not wasted seasons. They are opportunities for God to strengthen our spirit, shape our character, and prepare us for the assignment ahead.We also discover what it means to be a true hero of faith: to speak the truth with courage, walk in humility, and point people to Christ rather than ourselves. John boldly proclaimed the truth, called people to repentance, and continually directed attention toward Jesus. His declaration, “He must increase, but I must decrease,” captures the heart of a life fully surrendered to God.This message challenges us to silence the voice of the flesh and listen to the voice of the Spirit, to choose faithfulness over recognition, obedience over compromise, and God's approval over the applause of people.As you listen, ask yourself:Is my life pointing people to Jesus?This week, look for opportunities to encourage someone with Scripture, share your testimony, pray for someone, and demonstrate the love of Christ through your actions. Like John the Baptist, you may be the voice God uses to prepare someone's heart to receive Jesus.You were not called to make your name great, you were called to make Jesus known.

What if we've become so obsessed with measuring everything that we've forgotten how to truly connect with each other?In a world overflowing with content, algorithms, dashboards and AI-generated everything, how do leaders build brands, and organizations, that people actually trust? This week on Entrepreneurial Thinkers, I sit down with Leslie Campisi, founder of the agency Beginners. She's a longtime communications strategist, former startup CMO, and one of the most thoughtful voices I've encountered on the intersection of storytelling, leadership, technology and human wellbeing.Together we explore why authentic communication is becoming a competitive advantage, why dialogue matters more than broadcasting, how great brands are built from clarity instead of cleverness, and why the future of innovation may depend less on better technology than on healthier, more curious people. This isn't just a conversation about marketing—it's a conversation about what it means to remain deeply human while building the future. If you've ever launched an idea, led a team, built a company, or simply wondered how to communicate with greater purpose in an increasingly noisy world, I think you'll find this conversation both refreshing and deeply thought-provoking.Feel free to follow and engage with Leslie here:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lesliecampisi/Website: https://www.wearebeginners.co/We're so grateful to you, our growing audience of entrepreneurs, investors and community leaders interested in the human stories of the Entrepreneurial Thinkers behind entrepreneurial economies worldwide.As always we hope you enjoy each episode and Like, Follow, Subscribe or share with your friends.

Leaders Who Create Connection: Stories have a way of connecting with us that facts alone never can. Whether it's through a sermon, a song, or a simple conversation, the stories we share often become the moments people remember most. Join Jason Squires as he sits down with pastor, songwriter, and military veteran Luke Eldredge to explore the power of story. Together they discuss why stories help people connect, how vulnerability builds trust, and what it looks like to faithfully steward your own story without oversharing. If you've ever wondered whether your experiences could encourage someone else, this conversation is a reminder that God often uses the stories we're willing to share to help others feel seen, understood, and pointed toward Him.

The Heroes and Great Stories of the Bible – New Testament (Part 22)Zechariah & Elizabeth: Faithful While WaitingWhat do you do when you've prayed, believed, and waited... yet nothing seems to change?In this encouraging message, we explore the remarkable story of Zechariah and Elizabeth, two faithful servants of God who continued to trust Him through years of unanswered prayers and apparent silence. Their story reminds us that God's delays are never His denial. Even when we cannot see Him working, He is preparing His perfect plan.Discover how God honors faithfulness long before the miracle arrives, why His timing is always better than our own, and how He remains faithful even when we struggle with doubt. Learn how waiting seasons can strengthen your faith, prepare you for God's purpose, and become a testimony that points others to Jesus Christ.In this message, you'll discover: Why faithfulness is success in God's eyes. How God's delays are often seasons of divine alignment. Why God can correct our doubts without canceling His promises. How your testimony can lead others to faith in Jesus. Practical ways to replace fear with Scripture, doubt with God's promises, and discouragement with worship. No matter how long you've been waiting, God has not forgotten you. His promises are still true, His timing is still perfect, and His goodness will be revealed at the appointed time. Don't give up, your waiting season may be God's preparation for something greater than you can imagine.Key Scriptures: Psalm 27:13–14 Luke 1:5–79 If this message encouraged your faith, be sure to subscribe, share this episode with someone who is waiting on God's promises, and join us each week as we discover timeless truths through the heroes and great stories of the New Testament.Soul Harvest Worship CenterHosting His Presence.

Most people think great storytellers are born with natural talent. They're wrong. In this conversation, storytelling expert Philipp Humm explains why storytelling is actually a learnable skill—and why it may be the most valuable communication skill for entrepreneurs, leaders, investors, parents, and anyone who wants to influence others. You'll discover: ✔️ The 3 elements every unforgettable story needs ✔️ Why most public speaking advice actually makes you worse ✔️ How to become a confident speaker without memorizing speeches ✔️ The storytelling framework entrepreneurs should use to sell ideas naturally ✔️ Why emotion beats information every time ✔️ How impromptu speaking builds confidence faster than rehearsing scripts ✔️ The psychology behind stories that people remember for years ✔️ Why authenticity isn't about perfection—it's about connection Whether you're raising capital, leading a team, pitching clients, creating content, or simply trying to become a better communicator, these storytelling principles will transform how people listen to you.
