Love is the most powerful force in the universe. That's a bold statement. Yes it is. If love is the most powerful force in the universe and of mankind and God is love then that makes God the most powerful force in the universe. Why? Because He created it all. God has called us as His children who follower after Jesus to walk in love. To be patient, kind, gentle, not to take into an account wrong done to us, etc.. Walking in Love doesn't come natural to the fallen man but it will come natural to the man that is born again. Didn't say it was easy but it should be natural. This weeks starts a two week series about just that, how to walk in Love.

Recorded on location in September 2025, I was lucky enough to interview Amy, the paranormal host and historian at Dudley Castle.This interview explores the castle's long and often brutal history, uncovering the surprising connections between Dudley Castle and some of the most colourful, and at times bloody, periods in British history. We also delve deep into the ghostly encounters and paranormal events which have solidified Dudley Castle as being one of the most haunted locations in Great Britain.Now, this interview ended up being so rich it's been split into three parts.In part one, we focus on the history and the people who once lived within these walls and walked these beautiful grounds, and we whet your appetite with a few ghostly tales along the way.In part two, we dive much deeper into the ghosts, legends, and strange happenings associated with the castle.And in part three, Amy takes me out on location around the castle and its grounds, visiting some of the remarkable places where spirits and ghosts are said to roam.So, join me now for part one of my return to Dudley Castle.Want even more from us?

There is truly nothing greater than knowing Christ.  Not knowing about Him.  But having an intimate relationship with Him as the Lord of your life.  Joseph was a man that knew of the grace and faithfulness of God even in the midst of turmoil, betrayal, lies, and difficulties.  Why? Because of the relationship he had with God. And because of that relationship even in the hard times of life God still prospered him.  He was not successful for success sake but because of the blessing of God being on his life. It was more than reaping what he had sown. It was the direct result of trusting God and having faith in who God says He is.

Welcome to today's Dragonlance Hangout! This is a casual series where we discuss all things Dragonlance, from characters, to modules, to game editions in a relaxed conversation with the live audience. Today I am discussing What Makes an Epic Fantasy Campaign Setting? https://youtube.com/live/nuJaSlAyfL0 Show Notes Intro Welcome to another DragonLance Hangout! It is Kirinor, Newkolt the 28th, and my name is Adam. Today I am discussing What Makes an Epic Fantasy Campaign Setting?. I would like to take a moment and thank the DLSaga YouTube members, and Patreon patrons and invite you to consider becoming a member or patron.

Discussion DLSaga Anthology https://dlsaga.com/contributors/ 4,000–7,500 words preferred Notifications sent by March 1, 2026 What Makes an Epic Fantasy Campaign Setting? Epic fantasy isn't just about maps, gods, or ancient wars. It's about a world that remembers itself. A setting becomes epic when: History leaves scars Belief shapes reality Culture exists beyond stat blocks Tonight isn't about “which setting is best.” It's about why some worlds feel inevitable, and others feel disposable. And what DMs can learn from the masters — and from darker, more modern designs like my own DireLands Touchstones: Tolkien's Middle-earth Martin's Westeros Weis & Hickman's Dragonlance And then: a comparison to DireLands, a dark fantasy setting built with many of the same tools — but different intentions Framed for: Dungeon Masters Worldbuilders Anyone who wants their setting to feel lived in, not just described PART I — YOUR CORE ELEMENTS OF EPIC FANTASY (Establish the Lens) 1. Deep, Recorded History Epic fantasy has epochs, not backstories History isn't flavor text — it's pressure Wars, rises, collapses, consequences DM takeaway:  If nothing important happened before the PCs were born, your world isn't epic — it's empty. 2. Cosmology That Touches the World Gods aren't distant abstractions Belief changes behavior, laws, taboos Divine or cosmic forces matter, even indirectly DM takeaway:  Cosmology should create: Conflicts Factions Cultural divides 3. A World Scarred by War Epic fantasy worlds are post-trauma Peace is fragile Victory always costs something DM takeaway: If the last great war solved everything cleanly, you've written a fairy tale — not epic fantasy. 4. Mythic Creatures With Narrative Weight Dragons, elves, fey, giants Not just monsters — symbols Each race carries history, loss, and perspective DM takeaway: If elves are just “humans with pointy ears,” you're wasting epic tools. 5. Culture Beyond Combat Music Recipes Poetry Stories told by the people of the world DM takeaway: Culture is how players emotionally anchor to a setting. PART II — HOW THE CLASSICS DO IT (DM-TABLE PRACTICAL) MIDDLE-EARTH — Mythic Epic What Works Unparalleled depth of history Songs, poems, languages baked into the world Clear cosmological order Evil has a metaphysical weight Limitations (DM Practical) Mythic distance can reduce player agency The world feels preordained Hard to run long sandbox campaigns without fighting canon Lesson for DMs Myth gives weight But too much destiny can suffocate choice WESTEROS — Historical Epic What Works History as cycles of violence Power structures feel real Culture varies sharply by region Consequences are relentless Limitations Minimal cosmology engagement Myth exists, but is distant or unclear Hope is often absent Lesson for DMs Political realism creates tension But without mythic meaning, darkness can feel nihilistic DRAGONLANCE — Heroic Epic What Works Clear epochs and ages Gods directly shape events War defines generations Built for play, not just reading Limitations Archetypal characters can feel restrictive Moral clarity can limit ambiguity Some depth sacrificed for accessibility Lesson for DMsEpic fantasy at the table thrives on clarity But nuance keeps it alive long-term PART III — DIRELANDS AS A DARK EPIC (Compare & Contrast) Where DireLands Aligns With Epic Fantasy Recorded History with Bias Epochs defined by conquest, ice, liberation History acknowledged as written by victors Cosmology That Warps Reality Cosmic entities Two moons with mechanical and narrative impact Gods tied to culture, language, and region A World After the “Victory” Witch-Queen defeated — but nothing healed The Triumvirate mirrors the corruption they overthrew Mythic Races With Consequences Elves exiled Dwarves driven underground Halflings isolated Cultural Texture Languages Music Poetry Religious schisms Where DireLands Intentionally Diverges Epic fantasy usually asks: “How do we save the world?” DireLands asks: “What if saving the world wasn't enough?” Key differences: Corruption replaces destiny Victory creates new injustices Magic is feared, politicized, gendered History doesn't inspire hope — it demands reckoning DM Practical Insight DireLands is epic fantasy through erosion, not ascension The epic scale comes from systems of belief collapsing, not heroes rising PART IV — WHAT DMs SHOULD STEAL FROM ALL OF THIS Bullet-point, actionable advice: Build history that players inherit, not just learn Let cosmology influence laws, fear, and tradition Make war change culture permanently Give races reasons to mistrust each other Embed art and ritual into everyday life Decide what your world believes about hope Outro Epic fantasy isn't a checklist, It's an agreement between the world and the players. Tolkien gave us myth Martin gave us consequence Dragonlance gave us playability DireLands asks what happens after the epic victory As DMs, the real question isn't: “Is my world epic?” It's: “Does my world remember what it's been through?” That is going to do it for another Dragonlance hangout episode.Let me know what you think makes an epic campaign setting and which is your favorite.

Life is a monumental undertaking to say the least but the other option is death or is it?  Jesus told His disciples that "I will give you life and life abundantly."  Not mere existence keeping one foot in the grave and the other on the doorstep of life.  No, He promised us an abundant life full of joy, adventure, excitement, contentment, hope, and energy.  Paul told us to run this race called life to win.  We all run in the race like we are going to win.  You can't do that without a few attitude and mindset that must be present in your life.

We continue our dive into Jonathan Hickman's Avengers saga with Avengers #35 and New Avengers #24 (2014), as the truth finally comes out — the universe is dying, and Earth is the cause.In Avengers #35, stars go dark and cosmic forces move toward Earth while Sunspot begins assembling a new Avengers team, bringing together fractured heroes like Hyperion, Nightmask, Starbrand, and a broken Thor.In New Avengers #24, the Cabal spirals out of control. Namor turns to Doctor Doom and is rejected, Professor X is forced to beg Thanos for death, and Wakanda's last stand ends in devastating sacrifice. Behind it all, Doom begins quietly building a plan tied to the Multiverse and the Molecule Man.This is Hickman at his bleakest — cosmic collapse, impossible choices, and heroes crossing lines they can't return from.

For their first comic talk of 2026, Phillip and Eric break down the surprisingly good Marvel crossover, Aliens Vs. Avengers by Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribić. They discuss how it subverts the expectations of the cheap cash grab IP crossover, its exploration of the narrative themes Hickman gravitates towards, and how Alien: Earth is better than anyone gives it credit for.The Patrick H. Willems video essay on Hollywood franchises that inspired this episode.

In this episode of Geek Freaks Headlines, we break down the biggest fan theory attached to the four Avengers: Doomsday teaser drops: the “glitched timecode” numbers at the end of each teaser might be pointing to specific Avengers: Endgame time heist moments. We walk through how fans are lining those timestamps up with scenes tied to the Infinity Stones, why the Russo brothers calling Doomsday a direct follow-up to Endgame makes this theory feel plausible, and how all of it connects to incursions, Secret Wars, and Jonathan Hickman's Time Runs Out. We also touch on the idea that even if the codes are a stretch, the themes across the teasers (home, loss, and what gets left behind) might be the real clue.00:00 Intro: the biggest Doomsday theory so far and why the teaser “glitches” matter00:15 The core claim: the codes line up with Endgame time heist scenes tied to Infinity Stones00:24 Why this theory has traction: direct sequel talk, incursions, and the road to Secret Wars00:37 Timestamp #1: The Ancient One and Hulk, the Time Stone, and the “it'll be fine” assumption00:53 Timestamp #2: Avengers Tower, Loki chaos, and the Mind Stone plus Space Stone connection01:07 Timestamp #3: Thor and Rocket in Asgard, planning the Reality Stone grab01:10 Timestamp #4: Rocket and Ant-Man, space talk, and the Soul Stone discussion timing01:22 Bigger read: recurring themes of home, loss, and what's left standing after it's gone01:36 Comic corner: starting Hickman's Time Runs Out and why it matters for Secret Wars01:47 Why theories hit so hard: the fun of clue hunting and community pattern spotting02:00 Wrap-up: what listeners are seeing and what to watch for nextThe leading theory says the teaser timecode glitches can be mapped to Endgame time heist scenes that reference the Infinity Stones.The Endgame connection feels stronger because Doomsday is being framed as a story that depends on what happened there, not just a vague sequel.Incursions and multiverse collapse ideas make the “small choices turn into big consequences” angle feel very Marvel right now.Even if the codes do not hold up, the broader theme work across the teasers might be the more intentional thread.The fun factor is real: this is the kind of shared “clue board” energy fandom loves when Marvel marketing leans into it.“Let's talk about the biggest doomsday theory we got so far.”“A lot of us are out here to try to find patterns.”“I love this stuff. Man, this is so much fun.”If you enjoyed this breakdown, subscribe to Geek Freaks Headlines, leave a quick rating and review, and share this episode with #GeekFreaksHeadlines so more Marvel fans can jump into the theory talk.GeekFreaksPodcast.com (source of all news discussed on Geek Freaks Headlines)Instagram: @geekfreakspodcastTwitter: @geekfreakspodThreads: @geekfreakspodcastFacebook: Geek Freaks PodcastPatreon: Geek Freaks PodcastWhat's your read on the Doomsday codes: smart breadcrumb trail, pure coincidence, or intentional vibes without a literal answer?

Happy New Year from The Bourbon Road! Jim and Todd ring in the New Year at the Bourbon Road bar with one final sample show to close out 2025. With the "Whiskey of the Year" episode just around the corner, the hosts are clearing the decks and diving into four distinct and intriguing pours that range from experimental finishes to classic Kentucky profiles. It's a diverse lineup that takes their palates on a journey from the coast of France to the American Southwest. The tasting begins with a luxurious offering from Bardstown Bourbon Company's Distillery Collection: the Normandy Calvados Brandy Barrel Finish. This blend of 12 and 13-year-old Indiana bourbons was finished for 28 months in apple brandy casks and an additional four months in toasted oak. Clocking in at 104.2 proof, it delivers a "flavor explosion" of honey crisp apple, vanilla cream, puff pastry, and a rich, compote-like texture that leaves the hosts searching for descriptors like "candle nose" and "apple pie." Next, they take a sharp turn to Oxnard, California, for Sespe Creek Distillery's Warbringer, a Mesquite Smoked Southwest Bourbon. This 98-proof experimental pour features mesquite-smoked corn and malted rye, resulting in a savory, polarizing profile. Todd and Jim pick up notes of "burnt all-beef hot dogs," barbecue smoke, and pumpernickel, describing it as a "smoky beast" that definitely ruffles some feathers but delivers on its promise of uniqueness. Returning to the Bluegrass State, the hosts sample the inaugural release from Jackson Purchase Distillery: the Full Proof. Produced in Hickman, Kentucky, by Master Distiller Craig Beam and Assistant Master Distiller Terry Ballard, this 4-year-old bourbon (roughly 117.8 proof) punches above its age class. It offers a definitive, classic bourbon profile with notes of buttery caramel, brown sugar, and a viscous, oily mouthfeel that Jim calls the "Wikipedia picture of bourbon." Finally, they explore the New Riff High Note Confluence Project Volume 1, a 100% Wheat Whiskey. This 6-year-old expression uses a complex mash bill of Red Turkey Wheat and various malted wheats. At cask strength, it surprises the table with a dark, complex profile featuring notes of cotton candy, mint tea, medicinal cherry, and a "Good & Plenty" black licorice finish that showcases the depth of heirloom grains. The episode wraps up with a "Winner Winner Chicken Dinner" segment where Jim and Todd attempt to rank these four very different whiskeys. Will they lock stock on their favorites, or will the polarizing pours divide the room? Tune in to find out and get ready for the 2025 Whiskey of the Year show coming next week! Be sure to check out our private Facebook group, "The Bourbon Roadies" for a great group of bourbon loving people. You will be welcomed with open arms!

Consistency is not only key to being successful in life, your job, your community, and your family, but it is an absolute in your spiritual walk.  Without it you will get what you get and for many people it's not what they want nor is it what they know God wants for their life as well. You will be consistent but the question is, are you being consistent in the things that matter.  Many followers of Jesus are consistent and discipline in the thing that don't matter to Jesus or those things that don't have eternal value.  Once you set your heart and mind on the things that God wants for your life and His kingdom your consistency has the power to change your world and the world around you.

About a year ago, a Tangle staff member introduced me to a writer named A.M. Hickman. He had just published a fascinating piece on his Substack, Hickman's Hinterlands, arguing that America wasn't unreasonably expensive — Americans themselves were simply demanding more out of their lives: living in urban hotspots, seeking out fancy apartments or big houses, refusing to take bets on up-and-coming areas. Hickman told this story through his personal lens; he resides in upstate New York (but, as you'll see in a moment, is also a bit of a nomad) in a rural, dilapidated town that also happens to be incredibly cheap and quite beautiful.I loved the story; it felt like a fresh narrative, delivered in a wholly unique voice. I began devouring Hickman's writing — on class, on the birth of his daughter, on the death of his mother, on what it's like to travel via bus through rural America, and even on his longing (and our shared affection) for the desert. So, a few months ago, I got Hickman on the phone and pitched him on the idea of writing for Tangle. What stories was he turning over in his head? What piece did he want some help with from a sharp and unique editorial team? What was he working on next? He was brimming with ideas, but one in particular caught my attention: a story about how he missed being homeless. Hickman had spent years as a kind of nomadic “bum” (his words) hitchhiking across America, and in a flourish, he described all the ways in which he felt more alive and more intellectually stimulated during that time in his life than any other. I was intrigued, and I pushed him for a draft.Ad-free podcasts are here!To listen to this podcast ad-free, and to enjoy our subscriber only premium content, go to ReadTangle.com to sign up!You can subscribe to Tangle by clicking here or drop something in our tip jar by clicking here.
