Deep in the California redwoods, beneath a towering owl statue hidden among the trees, robed figures gather around firelight as chants echo through the darkness. For decades, Bohemian Grove has fueled rumors involving secret ceremonies, elite power, occult symbolism, and hidden rituals far from public view. But what if scenes like this are not isolated? In this unsettling episode of Dark Outdoors®, Chester Moore investigates disturbing similarities between the mysterious rituals of Bohemian Grove and terrifying firsthand encounters reported deep in remote wilderness areas. Witnesses describe hooded figures gathered around fires… strange nighttime ceremonies…and mysterious leaders dressed in red standing at the center while others watch from the darkness. The episode also explores the ancient symbolism of the owl across cultures, from Mesoamerican beliefs surrounding death and sorcery to the owl's modern role in secretive ceremonial traditions. Are these merely recurring symbols rooted in human psychology and ancient mythology? Or do the stories point toward something darker hidden deep in the outdoors? From elite gatherings beneath giant owls to terrifying encounters in isolated forests, this episode examines the mystery, fear, and symbolism surrounding one of the strangest recurring images in Dark Outdoors history: the hooded figures in the wilderness.

Today, we're thrilled to speak with Lauren Groves, an acquisitions editor and children's author with B&H Publishing, an imprint of Lifeway Christian Resources. Listen in as we discuss what it takes to communicate big ideas in clear, simple language—and what that skill can teach every writer, no matter their genre. Plus, Lauren pulls back the curtain on what makes an acquisitions editor stop scrolling a submission pile and say, I need to read more—and it has nothing to do with your follower count.

Sense (from Groves) is maybe a bit of a stretch. Will Fine Gael's Ray McAdam get Soc Dem's Dan Ennis elected or will Gerry Hutch's transfers turn everything upside down? Will Labour pull of a shock in Galway? Enjoy or endure. There is no in between.

La quinta etapa del Giro de Italia supuso la redención del UAE Team Emirates y de Jhonatan Narváez, quien se impuso en el esprint de Cosenza tras superar meses de calvario por una grave lesión vertebral. La jornada quedó marcada por la agresividad del Movistar, que destrozó el pelotón en el ascenso al Cozzo Tunno, eliminando a los velocistas y poniendo contra las cuerdas a un Egan Bernal que logró salvar los muebles in extremis. Mientras el equipo telefónico se conformaba con el segundo puesto de Aular, el ciclismo italiano celebró la maglia rosa de Giulio Ciccone, que alcanzó el liderato tras un día de supervivencia y justicia poética en el que abandonaron nombres importantes como De Lie y Groves.

My friend, Lauren Groves, is on the podcast today and she's not only an intentional wife and mother, but she's also an author of a beautiful kids book series entitled, "Toddler Theology." I instantly thought about her when thinking about this parenting series because she is truly gifted in helping parents teach simple, yet powerful truths about the gospel in such an easy way through catechisms. In this episode, we talk about how the mundane things in motherhood and discipleship matter and how to take the pressure off of "saving" your children, and instead, do what we can and let God do the rest (or rather, the MOST). ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch Truth Talks with Tara on YouTube here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

What happens when a journalist known for telling other people's stories turns the spotlight on her own? In this episode of Hear Tell, host Laurie Hertzel sits down with Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and author Anne Hull to discuss her new memoir, "Through the Groves." After nearly two decades as a national reporter for The Washington Post, Hull shifts from observer to subject, exploring her coming of agein rural central Florida — where her father worked in the citrus groves — and her journey toward understanding identity, family, and belonging. Hertzel and Hull discuss the challenges of writing a memoir after a career in journalism, the tension between reporting and remembering, and what it means to tell the truth when the story is your own. They also explore how place shapes narrative, how silence can shape a life, and why some stories take decades to tell. This conversation offers a thoughtful look at craft, courage, and the complicated work of turning lived experience into story. Here is a link to purchase Anne Hull's memoir, "Through the Groves."

Stranded's new EP 'The Dead' arrives at that hour when the city finally shuts up - all sub-bass rumble and skeletal beats, the kind of thing that sounds best through headphones on the last bus home. It's got that Bristol thing in its bones: dub's cavernous space, post-punk's wire-tight nerves, hip-hop's head-nod. Opening track "Arch Groves" sets the tone for the whole record - vocal samples drift like smoke through low-end weight and slow-burning unease, swelling and receding without ever fully resolving.

In this episode of Murder in the Black, we unpack the heartbreaking story of Kim Groves—a Black woman, community advocate, and mother whose decision to report police misconduct in 1994 set off a chain of events that would change everything.What began as one woman speaking up against abuse of power quickly revealed something much bigger: a deeply corrupted system inside the New Orleans Police Department, and a city already battling violence, fear, and broken trust.Kim's story forces us to confront the cost of courage, the danger Black communities face when they challenge authority, and the uncomfortable truth that corruption doesn't always look like a stranger—it can wear a badge.The violent reality of New Orleans in the 1990s and the systemic failures that shaped itCorruption inside the NOPD, including the actions of Officer Len DavisKim Groves' courage—and what happens when a Black woman refuses to stay silentThe long history of mistrust between Black communities and law enforcement in AmericaHow race, power, and internal systems of oppression complicate “protection” and “justice”The investigation, cooperation deals, and what accountability looks like in a corrupt systemWhy police reform is still an urgent conversation—and why stories like Kim's must be rememberedTimestamps00:00 — Introduction + case overview00:35 — New Orleans in the 1990s: context + tension01:02 — Crime statistics + community impact02:24 — Len Davis + Kim Groves background03:42 — Misconduct culture inside the NOPD05:59 — Operation Shattered Shield begins08:11 — Kim files a misconduct complaint09:33 — The danger of speaking out11:05 — The legacy of racial oppression + policing13:09 — Kim Groves' murder + surveillance footage14:57 — Trial tactics: discrediting the victim16:37 — Witness testimony + plea deals20:03 — Victim-blaming + “perfect victim” expectations21:41 — Sentencing + why plea agreements matter24:50 — Len Davis' death + the lasting damage25:45 — Corruption and community trauma27:08 — Remembering Kim's humanity28:20 — Corruption involving Black officers30:05 — Accountability: personal + systemic31:26 — Closing reflection: race, policing, reformResources & LinksFBI: Operation Shattered ShieldKim Groves case coverage + justice reportingFollow + Support Murder in the Black

Across Mediterranean Europe, olive groves are in decline from a range of factors, from disease to depopulation. In Italy alone, there are roughly 440 million abandoned olive trees, and the ecological, cultural and socioeconomic impacts from the loss are devastating, explains the latest guest on the Mongabay Newscast. Still, solutions exist to help turn the tide of this under-discussed problem. Federica Romano is the program coordinator and UNESCO Chair on Agricultural Heritage Landscapes at the University of Florence. On this episode of the Mongabay Newscast she discusses the drivers of the degradation and abandonment of olive groves, how ecological factors and human-induced climate change exacerbate these, and the consequences for biodiversity and wildlife in Europe, where olive oil isn't just an economic institution, but also a significant cultural one. "Olive groves hold [a] deep cultural significance that goes far beyond agriculture [and] food production across Europe," she says. "Olive trees have symbolized peace, resilience and continuity through thousands of years, appearing in religious contexts, but also in arts and historical narratives." The Mongabay Newscast is available on all major podcast platforms, including Apple and Spotify, and previous episodes are also accessible at our website's podcast page.

From Eden to the ChurchBeauty, Architecture, and the Space Where God Dwells Christian architecture is not primarily about style or preference. It is about ordering space so that human beings learn how to dwell with God. The Church building is Eden remembered and anticipated—a place where heaven and earth meet, so that God's people can be formed and then sent back into the world. Key Biblical Insights 1. Eden Was God's Dwelling Place Eden is first described not as humanity's home, but as God's planted garden—a place of divine presence, beauty, and order. Genesis 2:8–9 — God plants the garden; trees are "pleasant to the sight." 2. Eden Is a Garden and a Mountain Scripture explicitly identifies Eden as elevated sacred space. Ezekiel 28:13–14 — "Eden, the garden of God… the holy mountain of God." 3. Eden Is a Source of Life Life flows outward from God's dwelling. Genesis 2:10–14 — A river flows out of Eden and becomes four rivers. 4. Eden Is Not the Whole World Eden is placed within creation, not identical with it. Genesis 2:8 — Eden is "in the east." Genesis 1:28 — Humanity is commanded to "fill the earth." 5. Humanity's Original Vocation Human beings are called to guard sacred space and extend its order outward. Genesis 2:15 — Adam is placed in the garden "to till and keep it." 6. Gardens and Groves as Sacred Space After the fall, God's presence continues to be associated with cultivated places. Genesis 12:6–7; 13:18; 18:1 — God appears to Abraham at the oaks of Mamre. 1 Kings 6:29–32 — The Temple is carved with palm trees, flowers, and cherubim. Psalm 92:12–14 — The righteous are "planted in the house of the LORD." Isaiah 51:3; Ezekiel 36:35 — Restoration is described as becoming "like the garden of Eden." 7. Sacred Space After the Fall God re-establishes Eden's pattern through mountains and temples. Exodus 24:9–10 — God enthroned on Sinai. Psalm 48:1–2 — Zion as the mountain of the Great King. 8. The Church as Eden Continued The Church gathers the patterns of Eden—mountain, garden, throne, and life-giving water—into one place so that God may dwell with His people. 9. Eden Fulfilled, Not Abandoned Scripture ends with Eden expanded to fill the world. Revelation 21:3 — "The dwelling of God is with men." Revelation 22:1–2 — River of Life and Tree of Life healing the nations. Why Architecture Matters Architecture forms us slowly and quietly through repeated dwelling. Ordered, beautiful space trains us for patience, reverence, and stability. The Church is not an escape from the world, but a seed of the world's renewal. Takeaway Architecture is theology you inhabit. Eden is still the pattern—and the Church is where we learn to carry that pattern into the world.

In a world obsessed with stimulation and strength, what can this gentle, velvety herb teach us about healing?In this episode, herbalist and prolific author Maria Noël Groves joins me to discuss one of the most soothing herbs around—the lovely marshmallow (Althaea officinalis). Together we explore what makes this mucilaginous (read: velvety, not slimy!) herb such a powerful ally for irritated and inflamed tissues—especially in the gut, where marshmallow helps to protect, moisten, and nourish while also supporting the microbiome.Maria shares why she's fallen so deeply in love with this soft, soothing herb, and how it works without being forceful or stimulating. She also includes a recipe for a cozy, delicious beverage to soothe not just the gut, but also the spirit—her Creamy Marshmallow-Nutmeg Overnight Infusion. You can download your beautifully-illustrated recipe card here.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► The importance of tasting and experiencing an herb in different ways► How best to prepare marshmallow root (and why this is a point of contention among herbalists!)► When marshmallow leaf and flower might be a better medicinal choice than the roots► Why Maria includes marshmallow leaf in most of her tea blends► How marshmallow can help heal your digestion—from cooling inflamed tissues to feeding your gut microbiome (and more!)► When to use caution with taking marshmallow► and so much more…For those of you who don't know her, Maria Noël Groves is a clinical herbalist nestled in the pine forests of New Hampshire. She runs Wintergreen Botanicals, and is devoted to education and empowerment via classes, health consultations, and writing with the foundational belief that good health grows in nature. Maria is the author of the award-winning, best-selling book Body into Balance: An Herbal Guide to Holistic Self Care, as well as Grow Your Own Herbal Remedies, Herbal Remedies for Sleep, and the new Herbal Gut Health.Marshmallow offers an important reminder that some of the most profound healing comes not from pushing harder, but from learning how to soften. I hope this conversation with Maria inspires you to give your body the care, protection, and nourishment it needs in the new year and beyond.----Get full show notes, transcript, and more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comWould you prefer watching this episode?

This is message 01 in Understanding the Love of God 2 Chronicles 33:1-13 Knowing God is not proven by upbringing, opportunity, or outward religion buy by a heart that responds to Him in humility. A person can reject truth, abuse privilege, and into deep rebellion, yet God remains willing to speak and ready to forgive. When pride refuses to listen, affliction may become the means God uses to bring the heart low, not to destroy but to restore. When a person finally recognizes who God is and turns to Him in humility, mercy is still available even from the lowest place.

A book from the 1960's clearly explained what was happening to dramatically restructure society. We can clearly see those changes today. Through gradualism America has been transformed over the last 70+ years and many don't realize it. Not only is technology working to make man obsolete, but the progressives have been working to fragment our families, so they can profit from our labor, while raising our children to believe in their "Brave New World."

WAR ENDINGS NEITHER SWIFT NOR MERCIFUL:  7/8  Road to Surrender: Three Men and the Countdown to the End of World War II by  Evan Thomas  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Road-Surrender-Three-Countdown-World/dp/0399589252 At 9:20 a.m. on the morning of May 30, General Groves receives a message to report to the office of the secretary of war “at once.” Stimson is waiting for him. He wants to know: has Groves selected the targets yet? So begins this suspenseful, impeccably researched history that draws on new access to diaries to tell the story of three men who were intimately involved with America's decision to drop the atomic bomb—and Japan's decision to surrender. They are Henry Stimson, the American Secretary of War, who had overall responsibility for decisions about the atom bomb; Gen. Carl “Tooey” Spaatz, head of strategic bombing in the Pacific, who supervised the planes that dropped the bombs; and Japanese Foreign Minister Shigenori Togo, the only one in Emperor Hirohito's Supreme War Council who believed even before the bombs were dropped that Japan should surrender. Henry Stimson had served in the administrations of five presidents, but as the U.S. nuclear program progressed, he found himself tasked with the unimaginable decision of determining whether to deploy the bomb. The new president, Harry S. Truman, thus far a peripheral figure in the momentous decision, accepted Stimson's recommendation to drop the bomb. Army Air Force Commander Gen. Spaatz ordered the planes to take off. Like Stimson, Spaatz agonized over the command even as he recognized it would end the war. After the bombs were dropped, Foreign Minister Togo was finally able to convince the emperor to surrender. To bring these critical events to vivid life, bestselling author Evan Thomas draws on the diaries of Stimson, Togo and Spaatz, contemplating the immense weight of their historic decision. In Road to Surrender, an immersive, surprising, moving account, Thomas lays out the behind-the-scenes thoughts, feelings, motivations, and decision-making of three people who changed history.

Carl “Tooey” Spaatz, head of strategic bombing in the Pacific, who supervised the planes that dropped the bombs; and Japanese Foreign Minister Shigenori Togo, the only one in Emperor Hirohito's Supreme War Council who believed even before the bombs were dropped that Japan should surrender. Henry Stimson had served in the administrations of five presidents, but as the U.S. nuclear program progressed, he found himself tasked with the unimaginable decision of determining whether to deploy the bomb. The new president, Harry S. Truman, thus far a peripheral figure in the momentous decision, accepted Stimson's recommendation to drop the bomb. Army Air Force Commander Gen. Spaatz ordered the planes to take off. Like Stimson, Spaatz agonized over the command even as he recognized it would end the war. After the bombs were dropped, Foreign Minister Togo was finally able to convince the emperor to surrender. To bring these critical events to vivid life, bestselling author Evan Thomas draws on the diaries of Stimson, Togo and Spaatz, contemplating the immense weight of their historic decision. In Road to Surrender, an immersive, surprising, moving account, Thomas lays out the behind-the-scenes thoughts, feelings, motivations, and decision-making of three people who changed history.
