Malta. A fortress carved from rock, surrounded by sea, ruled by warrior monks who pray at dawn and kill by noon.Caravaggio arrives to paint a portrait. He stays because he has no choice. The Grand Master offers sanctuary, admiration, and something neither man is prepared to name. The Captain at Arms offers suspicion, jealousy, and a locked door every night.Act Two is the cage. Beautiful. Suffocating. Holy.Caravaggio paints the Grand Master's portrait and captures more than armor and scars. He captures a man's loneliness. The Knights throw a feast in his honor. He dances on tables. He is knighted with a gold sword. He is watched from every window.Back in Rome, Cardinal Del Monte fights for a papal pardon while the Tomassoni brothers hire bounty hunters. The Pope dies. A new Pope rises. The Church still cannot decide what Caravaggio is worth.On the beach, the Turks attack. Knights are nailed to crosses and set on fire, floated into the harbor at dawn. Caravaggio picks up a sword for the first time. He gives water to a dying boy. The boy is killed in front of him.Flashbacks pull him back to Rome. To Lena. To the night Ranuccio came for him with a blade. To the moment that changed everything.He paints The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist on a chapel wall and signs his name in the blood flowing from the saint's neck. The only painting he ever signed.Then he paints a Cupid so grotesque it seals his fate.Act Two is devotion. Desire. Betrayal. The moment a man realizes that the sanctuary he was promised is just a prison with better art on the walls.The fuse is burning.CastDennis Kleinman · NarratorCraig Parker · CaravaggioDan Lauria · Cardinal Del MonteBruce Davison · Alof de WignacourtShaan Sharma · Stefano della CroceCatherine Lidstone · LenaSarah Elmaleh · MariaBrendan Bradley · Annibale CarracciNoah James · Ranuccio TomassoniJosh Sterling · Ottavio TomassoniZeke Alton · Giovan TomassoniNick Monteleone · ManciniMatt Curtin · ToppaBjorn Johnson · Pope Paul VRay Abruzzo · Pope Clement VIIIWritten byRichard VetereExecutive Produced byJack Levy, Shaan Sharma, and Mark KnellTable Read is a Manifest Media production.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this day and age we live in, we as Christians have got to toughen up. We've got to understand that everything that comes against us is not God being against us. Things come against us to mature us, grow us, make us patriarchs and matriarchs of the faith that can stand against all odds. If we want our faith to increase, we must LEAN IN consistently when we face trials.    Monologue: Autumn addresses recent events that happened in Minnesota with her biblical worldview.    Message: Autumn reminds believers that the trials we face are not our enemy, but should be embraced as a tool that increase our faith and make our relationship with God even better.    Testimony: A listener gives an update since Autumn prayed for her on the podcast over a year ago.    Bible References Genesis 1:27 Job 13:13-15 Daniel 3:17-18 Psalm 23:4 Romans 8:31-32, 8:34-39 Philippians 1:21 Hebrews 11:30-40 James 1:2-3 2 Corinthians 5:7   Links from the show BOOKS: www.autumnmiles.com/resources SPEAKING: www.autumnmiles.com/speaking MERCH: autumnmiles.square.site   If you are interested in becoming a sponsor of the show, send us an email at hello@autumnmiles.com   If you have a suggestion for the ministry, a question for Autumn, a testimony to share, or other inquiry for the Autumn Miles Ministries, click here and fill out the form, or send us an email at hello@autumnmiles.com    Join us on social media!

Episode Description: "Have you ever wondered: Does the meaning of Valentine's Day fade the longer you're together, or does it simply evolve?

How To Stop Holding Yourself Back There's something inside of you that knows there's more. More peace. More purpose. More of you in your own life. But if you've found yourself waiting, telling yourself "I'm too tired," "It's not the right season," or "I should just be grateful for what I already have," this episode is here to help you pause and question those thoughts. Because what if those aren't truths...but excuses? In this episode, I'm sharing the real reason we hold ourselves back and the mindset shifts that helped me (and so many of my coaching clients) step out of feeling stuck and into confidence. You'll hear: How to spot the culprit that tricks you into playing small (even when your heart knows better) Common "excuses in disguise" that sound reasonable but keep you stuck and what to do instead Five simple ways to begin getting proof you can do it (with confidence), EVEN if fear is still there This episode is for the mom who's hearing the quiet whisper of "there's more for me..." and is ready to listen.

God is holy — completely other and set apart. If He has called us into relationship with Himself, then our lives are meant to be holy too. This episode challenges us to stop asking “Is it sin?” and start asking, “Is it holy?”   Thank you for listening to the Truth for Today Podcast!

Preaching for Ash Wednesday, Carolyn D. Townes, OFS invites us to enter into Lent with a posture of openness - hearts softened, spirits awake, ready return to one another and to God: "May the ashes we receive today awaken in us a holy tenderness. May they strengthen our resolve to honor the sacredness of every life — not only in prayer, but in practice. Not only in lament, but in the daily work of building a world where peace is possible, where justice is lived, where love is the shape of our choices."Carolyn D. Townes, OFS is a spiritual life and leadership coach and a loss to life mindset strategist, where she uses faith-based principles to provide spiritual and emotional wellness to those moving from the pain of grief and loss to a new life of purpose and peace.

Tom Aspinall et ses explications bancales... ?

The church at Corinth was jacked up in all kinds of ways...just like the church in our day! People make comments how they don't want to go to “church” because it's full of hypocrites. Churches are full of people...people are jacked up...we ALL need Jesus! However, the church in Corinth seemed to bring a lot of their culture into the church instead of allowing the Holy Spirit to shape them but in all of that, Paul still tells them, “You are God's holy people.” Despite being jacked up in all kinds of ways, they said “yes” to Jesus and his blood washes their sins away...just like you and me if we have said “yes” to him.

James 1:12-18 (God himself tempts no one) Romans 8:26-30 (For those who love God all things work together for good)

Proverbes 17

Pastor Al Dagel believes that we can benefit greatly from what the Bible teaches about being cleansed, set apart for the Lord, and justified through the finished work of Christ. 

Lev 1:1-3:17, Mark 1:29-2:12, Ps 35:17-28, Pr 9:13-18

“Thy good Spirit.” — Nehemiah 9:20 Common, too common is the sin of forgetting the Holy Spirit. This is folly and ingratitude. He deserves well at our hands, for He is good, supremely good. As God, He is good essentially. He shares in the threefold ascription of Holy, holy, holy, which ascends to the Triune […]

Leviticus 11-13

Father tells us that Jesus wants us to be Holy through endurance.

In this message, Sam turns to Exodus 3 and 1 Samuel 3 to explore how God reveals Himself—not in spectacle, but in obscurity. Moses encounters holy fire in a desolate wilderness. Generations later, Samuel hears the voice of God in the quiet of the night, at a time when "the word of the Lord was rare." In both moments, heaven breaks in—but only the attentive recognize it. Moses is tending sheep in disappointment. Samuel is a young boy learning to discern a voice he does not yet understand. Neither setting feels dramatic. Both become holy. The turning point in each story is attentiveness. Moses says, "I must turn aside and see." Samuel responds, "Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening." Curiosity becomes the doorway to encounter. Attention becomes the birthplace of worship. This teaching invites us to adopt the pace of Jesus—slow, responsive to the Father, led by the Spirit. Holy ground is not found by striving, but by noticing. God still hides holy fire in ordinary places. The question is not whether He is speaking. The question is whether we are listening.

We may dread Lent and the reminder of our eternal destination. We should instead orient our minds to seeing Lent as a beautiful challenge to grow closer to God. Lent is not an obstacle, but an opportunity for spiritual growth.

In this message, Pastor James walks through Acts 20 and Paul's farewell to the leaders in Ephesus. He explains why Ephesus was such a strategic, influential city and why Paul chose to invest deeply there before continuing his journey. Focusing on Paul's example, James highlights practical themes like humility, clear teaching, repentance, sacrifice, generosity, and guarding the truth in a culture filled with competing voices. The core takeaway is simple: in a pluralistic and often volatile world, stay grounded in the message of Jesus and reflect His character in the way you live and lead.Subscribe to AfterWords on  Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.Download a copy of the One More Series JournalVisit us online: rivchurch.comFollow us on InstagramSend us feedback: podcast@rivchurch.com

Lev 1:1-3:17, Mark 1:29-2:12, Ps 35:17-28, Pr 9:13-18

Romans 5-7 and Mark 12: 29-31 with Bryan RouanzoinAs Paul describes, we are whole beings made up of parts - with a heart, mind, soul, and body. Pastor Bryan unpacks these parts and how we often end up drifting from the very way of life in Jesus that we are longing for. It is God who can draw these parts together into wholeness. 

Send a textTHE DANGER OF DISTRACTIONSPastor Jerrid FletcherFebruary 15, 2026Distraction is not merely a "productivity problem"; it is a spiritual scavenger that fragments the soul and pushes God to the margins of our lives. While "bad" distractions (sin, toxic drama, worldly anxiety) are easy to identify, the more dangerous category is "Good Distractions” responsibilities without margin, success that reshapes priorities, and efficiency without presence. These good things don't compete with our values; they compete with our focus, slowly training us to live self-sufficient lives that leave no room for the Architect.To reclaim our design for deep attention and divine connection, we must move from "managing chatter" to "doing business with God". This requires establishing a "standing reservation" through spiritual disciplines like silence, solitude, and prayer—intentional rhythms that guard what matters most. By tuning out the "noise" of achievement, digital In comparison, and past shame, we can maintain the singular focus of the Apostle Paul, keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus and the purpose He has called us to fulfill.Discussion Questions 1. The "Concrete" Test: The sermon suggests that busyness isn't just a full week; it's a way of living that "sets like concrete". In what areas of your life has "being busy" become a foundational habit rather than a temporary season?2. Good vs. Holy: How do you distinguish between being "faithful" to your responsibilities and being "consumed" by them to the point where there is no margin for God?3. The Standing Reservation: If God had a "confirmed appointment" to meet you daily, would you stand Him up? Where is the specific, purposeful place in your life where he can consistently expect to meet you?4. Tuning the Frequency: Which "noise" is currently the loudest in your life: the pressure to produce (Noise of Next), the infinite scroll (Digital Noise), or the echoes of old mistakes (Shame Noise)?5. Reading the Bat: Like Hank Aaron at the plate, what "labels" or "technicalities" is the enemy whispering to distract you from your main goal?

Send us a messageYou can have a renewed mindset and a re-centered sense of purpose, and yet carry a quiet heaviness that doesn't quite lift. That's often because renewal isn't complete until it reaches the heart. The heart is where our desires live, where our wounds linger, and where fatigue tends to hide the longest. There's a kind of tiredness that doesn't show up on the surface. It isn't physical exhaustion, and it doesn't always come with obvious discouragement. It's the tiredness of the heart - a subtle tiredness that builds over time, especially in people who care deeply and carry a lot. In this last episode of the renewal series, we focus on why the renewal of our mind, our purpose, and our actions all centers around the renewal of our heart.

The servants of God have nothing to fear in this broken world, and they possess the only thing that will mend it –– the gospel of Jesus Christ.

As the “Holy Romance” series comes to a close, this message turns to Song of Solomon 8 to answer one question: what makes a marriage endure? With care for singles, widows, those dating, and the divorced, we're reminded that your worth isn't tied to your relationship status—and God isn't finished with you. Then we dive into a vision of covenant love: lifelong partnership through wilderness seasons, a marriage sealed by devotion, protected affection, and a fire “of the Lord” that floods can't quench. And before anything else, we make a beeline to the gospel—because a lasting marriage starts with surrendered hearts, inviting every home to come pray, hold fast, and let God keep working long after the series ends.
