The full prayer transcript is available by going to this episode on the Podcast website. https://dailyprayeranglicanprayerbookforaustralia.podbean.com Welcome to Thursday Morning prayer. We proclaim the Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ: GOD in his infinite mercy, forgives all sins, and through our baptism in the name of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, we are given a rebirth into new life, free from the burden of all sin. ALLELUIA With faithfulness we respond to the good news: We acknowledge Christ as our Saviour and accept with gratitude, that we are forgiven for all wrong doings, past and present. To honour the gift of forgiveness, we release our burden of guilt and rise up to live in the glory of God forever more. Blessed be God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Blessed be God forever. Let us Pray.     1 This is the message we have heard from Christ: That God is light, in whom there is no darkness at all.   Glory to God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit:  as in the beginning, so now, and for ever. Amen.    2 The Opening Canticle, A Song of God's Grace Go up to a high mountain Herald of good tidings to Zion: Lift up your voice with strength, Herald of good tidings to Jerusalem. Lift up your voice, fear not: Say to the cities of Judah, ‘Behold your God!' See the Lord God coming with power: Coming to rule with his mighty arm. He brings his reward for the people of God: the recompense for those who are saved. God will feed his flock like a shepherd: And gather the lambs in his arms; He will hold them to his breast: And gently lead those that are with young. Isaiah 40.9-11   3 The Opening Prayer The night has passed, and the day lies open before us;  let us pray with one heart and mind.    Silence may be kept. As we rejoice in the gift of this new day,  so may the light of your presence, O God,  set our hearts with love for you;  now and for ever.  Amen.   4 The Psalms as appointed. A pause is observed after each. Psalm 74     5 At the end of the (last) pause there may follow Almighty God, who wonderfully created us in your own image and yet more wonderfully restored us in your son Jesus Christ: grant that as he came to share our human nature so we may be partakers in his divine glory; who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God now and forever.  Amen.   6 One or two Readings from the Bible as appointed.   1st Reading Ezra 2.64-3.8 64 The whole assembly together was forty-two thousand three hundred sixty, 65besides their male and female servants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty-seven, and they had two hundred male and female singers. 66They had seven hundred thirty-six horses, two hundred forty-five mules, 67four hundred thirty-five camels, and six thousand seven hundred twenty donkeys. 68As soon as they came to the house of the LORD in Jerusalem, some of the heads of families made freewill offerings for the house of God, to erect it on its site. 69According to their resources they gave to the building fund, sixty-one thousand darics of gold, five thousand minas of silver, and one hundred priestly robes. 70The priests, the Levites, and some of the people, as well as the singers, the gatekeepers, and the temple servants, lived in their towns and all Israel in their towns.   1 When the seventh month came and the Israelites were in their towns, the people gathered together as one in Jerusalem. 2Then Jeshua son of Jozadak with his fellow priests and Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel with his kin set out to build the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings on it, as prescribed in the law of Moses the man of God. 3They set up the altar on its foundation because they were in dread of the people of the lands, and they offered burnt offerings upon it to the LORD, morning and evening. 4And they kept the Festival of Booths, as prescribed, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number according to the ordinance, as required for each day, 5and after that the regular burnt offerings, the offerings at the new moon and at all the sacred festivals of the LORD, and the offerings of everyone who made a freewill offering to the LORD. 6From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer burnt offerings to the LORD. But the foundation of the temple of the LORD was not yet laid. 7So they gave money to the masons and the carpenters, and food, drink, and oil to the Sidonians and the Tyrians to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea, to Joppa, according to the grant that they had from King Cyrus of Persia. Foundation Laid for the Temple 8 In the second year after their arrival at the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Jeshua son of Jozadak made a beginning, together with the rest of their people, the priests and the Levites and all who had come to Jerusalem from the captivity. They appointed the Levites from twenty years old and up to have the oversight of the work on the house of the LORD.   Hear the word of the LORD. Thanks be to God.   2nd Reading The letter of Paul to the Colossians chapter 2.1-7 1For I want you to know how greatly I strive for you and for those in Laodicea and for all who have not seen me face to face. 2I want their hearts to be encouraged and united in love, so that they may have all the riches of assured understanding and have the knowledge of God's mystery, that is, Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4 I am saying this so that no one may deceive you with plausible arguments. 5 For though I am absent in body, yet I am with you in spirit, and I rejoice to see your orderly conduct and the firmness of your faith in Christ. Fullness of Life in Christ 6 As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, continue to walk in him, 7 rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.   Hear the message of Christ. Thanks be to God.     7 The Canticle, In the beginning was the word: and the word was with God, and the word was god: he was in the beginning with god. all things were made through him: and without him, was not anything made that was made. In him was life: And the life was the light of all the people. The light shines in the darkness: And the darkness has not overcome it. He was in the world: And the world was made through him yet the world knew him not. He came to his own home: and his own people received him not. But to all who received him who believed on his name: He has given power to become children of God; who were born not of blood nor of the will of the flesh: nor of the will of a man but of God. And the Word became flesh And dwelt among us full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory: glory as of the only son from the father and from his fullness have we all received: And grace upon grace.   8 The belief and principle is said I believe in God, creator of heaven and earth, whose love and merciful forgiveness endures everlasting. I believe in Christ the saviour, whose example of love and compassion, taught us a restored way to live, in collaborative unity with all people. I believe in the Holy Spirit, whose divine guidance brings us together to be one with the Holy Trinity. Amen   9 The Prayers Lord have mercy.  Christ have mercy.  God have mercy.   10 The Lord's Prayer Our Father in heaven,  hallowed be your name,  your kingdom come,  your will be done,  on earth as in heaven.  Give us today our daily bread.  Forgive us our sins  as we forgive those who sin against us.  Save us from the time of trial  and deliver us from evil.  For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours  now and for ever. Amen.      Prayer of the Week following the EIGHTEENTH Sunday after Pentecost O God, You declare your almighty power Chiefly in showing mercy and pity Mercifully grant us such a measure of your grace That running in the way of your commandments We may obtain your gracious promises And be made partakers of your heavenly treasure Through Jesus Christ our Lord.

On today's episode, Legal Tuesday with James, Dwayne, and Ben on the phone. Glenn is stuck on mute and cussing on the drive back from the Illuminati conference, so the green room reboots the Roadie mic and rolls without him. The guys open on the opposite of Musk: Bill Gates as an overrated Silicon Valley pirate, Ben's man-on-the-street chatter about GMO ticks and alpha-gal bioterror, and Dwayne's Grok cleanup showing three different tick species got mixed together. Then the real rocket story. Yesterday's Starbase flight lost a Raptor, burned the rest longer, dispensed 26 V3 Starlinks, hit real orbit, and still got painted as a blowup, plus a 50-foot French bronze Prometheus now guarding the Starbase gate like a half-size Statue of Liberty. DOGE's NGO money hose, teens trending straight again, Trump's swimming-pool meme for the briefing room, the Fox, Dominion, and Tucker fallout, and Bartiromo with Nick Shirley on X set up the pocketbook and case cards. That includes Abbott's 90-day red-dye diesel relief for farmers, Louisiana's push for a 90-day diesel export pause, the higher-ed bubble with Tech's Henderson out and Trump's ban on loans for degrees that don't pay, D.C.'s CVS-unlock crime index, Fetterman's "lifelong Republican" slip, SCOTUS knocking Missouri's map back, and the voter-database green light that keeps the rolls in play. Add midterm optimism, Dearborn, pocket rescission, and PJ's Exit 33 on Maple Street. Don't miss it!

Let us Pray. 1 Rejoice always pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; For this is the will of God in Christ Jesus.      Glory to God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit:  as in the beginning, so now, and for ever. Amen.    2 The Opening Canticle, A Song of God's Grace Blessed are you,  the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ: For you have blessed us in Christ Jesus with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places,  You chose us to be yours in Christ, before the foundation of the world: That we should be holy and blameless before you.  In love you destined us to be your children, through Jesus Christ: according to the purpose of your will,  to the praise of your glorious grace: which you freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. Ephesians 1.3-6   3 The Opening Prayer The night has passed and the day lies open before us;  let us pray with one heart and mind.   Silence may be kept. As we rejoice in the gift of this new day,  so may the light of your presence, O God,  set our hearts on fire with love for you;  now and for ever.  Amen.   4 The Psalms as appointed. A pause is observed after each.   Psalm reading… Psalm 72;     5 At the end of the (last) pause there may follow We consecrate this day to your service, O Lord; may all our thoughts, words, and actions be well-pleasing to you and serve the good of our brothers and sisters; through Jesus Christ, our Lord.  Amen.   6 One or two Readings from the Bible as appointed.   1st Reading EZRA 1 1 In the first year of King Cyrus of Persia, to fulfill the word of the LORD from the mouth of Jeremiah, the LORD stirred up the spirit of King Cyrus of Persia so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom and also in writing, saying: 2 “Thus says King Cyrus of Persia: The LORD, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and he has charged me to build him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. 3Let any of those among you who are of his people—may their God be with them!—go up to Jerusalem in Judah and rebuild the house of the LORD, the God of Israel; he is the God who is in Jerusalem. 4And let all survivors in whatever place they reside be assisted by the people of their place with silver and gold, with goods, and with livestock, besides freewill offerings for the house of God in Jerusalem.” 5 Then the heads of the families of Judah and Benjamin and the priests and the Levites—everyone whose spirit God had stirred—got ready to go up and rebuild the house of the LORD in Jerusalem. 6All their neighbors aided them with silver vessels, with gold, with goods, with livestock, and with valuable gifts, besides all that was freely offered. 7King Cyrus himself brought out the vessels of the house of the LORD that Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem and placed in the house of his gods. 8 King Cyrus of Persia had them released into the charge of Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah. 9And this was the inventory: gold basins, thirty; silver basins, one thousand; knives, twenty-nine; 10 gold bowls, thirty; other silver bowls, four hundred ten; other vessels, one thousand; 11 the total of the gold and silver vessels was five thousand four hundred. All these Sheshbazzar brought up when the exiles were brought up from Babylonia to Jerusalem. Hear the word of the LORD. Thanks be to God 2nd Reading COLOSSIANS 1.21-29 21 And you who were once estranged and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, 22 he has now reconciled in his fleshly body through death, so as to present you holy and blameless and irreproachable before him, 23 provided that you continue securely established and steadfast in the faith, without shifting from the hope promised by the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven. I, Paul, became a minister of this gospel.   24 I am now rejoicing in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am completing what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church. 25 I became its minister according to God's commission that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known, 26 the mystery that has been hidden throughout the ages and generations but has now been revealed to his saints. 27 To them God chose to make known how great among the gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 28 It is he whom we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone in all wisdom, so that we may present everyone mature in Christ. 29 For this I toil and strive with all the energy that he powerfully inspires within me.   Hear the message of Christ. Thanks be to God.     7 The Canticle, We praise you O God: we claim you as Lord. All creation thanks you: The Father everlasting. To you all angels, all the powers of heaven: The cherubim and serafim sing in endless praise: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of power and might: Heaven and earth are full of your glory. Father of majesty unbounded: Your true and only son, worthy of all praise, the Holy Spirit, advocate and guide. You, Christ, are the king of glory, the eternal son of the father. When you took our flesh to set us free: You humbly chose the virgin's womb. You overcame the sting of death: And opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers. You are seated at God's right hand in glory: We believe that you will come to be our judge. Come then, God, and help your people, bought with the price of your own blood: And bring us with your Saints to glory everlasting.   8 The belief and principle is said I believe in God, creator of heaven and earth, whose love and merciful forgiveness endures everlasting. I believe in Christ the saviour, whose example of love and compassion, taught us a restored way to live, in collaborative unity with all people. I believe in the Holy Spirit, whose divine guidance brings us together to be one with the Holy Trinity. Amen.   9 The Prayers Lord have mercy.  Christ have mercy.  God have mercy.      10 The Lord's Prayer and the Collect of the Day Our Father in heaven,  hallowed be your name,  your kingdom come,  your will be done,  on earth as in heaven.  Give us today our daily bread.  Forgive us our sins  as we forgive those who sin against us.  Save us from the time of trial  and deliver us from evil.  For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours  now and for ever.

Dr. Shan Shan Jing is a Consultant Plastic and Hand Surgeon working in a Major Trauma Centre in London, where she has spent years treating patients with devastating injuries, restoring nerves, vessels, and soft tissues after life-altering trauma. In 2022, while working abroad during the pandemic, she experienced trauma from the other side when she survived a high-speed collision that killed her partner and left her hospitalized with multiple injuries. Her recovery involved navigating profound grief, neurological healing, and the identity shift of becoming a trauma patient within the very healthcare system she had dedicated her career to serving.This experience transformed her understanding of post-traumatic growth, the nervous system's response to catastrophic loss, and the hidden burdens carried by healthcare professionals, deepening her belief in what she calls the “Holy Trinity” of health: the physical, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of healing.In this episode: Dr. Shan Shan's websiteDr. Shan Shan on IGCritical: Between Life and Death (Netflix) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k83a5EkFwbM (episode 4)SameYou — brain injury advocacy https://www.sameyou.org/portrait_shan_shanBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-trauma-therapist--5739761/support.---Thank you to our Sponsors: Jane App - use code GUY1MO at https://janesoftware.partnerlinks.io/ngvcwcxqt2jx-4afv8i (https://jane.app/book_a_demo)Beducated - Complete the quiz for one month free https://beduc.at/pd2640-traumatherapist

On today's episode, Legal Tuesday with James, Glenn, and Dwayne — soft open after a Texas doctor run where Tesla FSD slammed the brakes and moseyed around two older ladies who took the whole road, saving what would have been a bad wreck and earning James another of his nine Tesla lives. They unpack Grok Heavy vs Grok Bot agents rolling into the car, Trump's UN gag renaming AI “Super Intelligence,” Starlink V3 birds that could juice the constellation ~3% on a half-load alone, and the Boring Company's Prufrock tunnels aiming Austin–San Antonio in ~30 minutes plus a Vegas Loop that already has 14 stations and knockout shafts. Space Force Academy bids (New Orleans, Houston, Ohio), a Dartmouth provost busted for a 100% AI “anti-AI cheating” op-ed, and Starbase Louisiana's claimed Cuba-corridor launch angles set up the real case card: the Eighth Circuit keeping Missouri's 7R–1D map after the state supreme court tried a mid-election rewind — with a Kavanaugh “too late” cite the room guesses but hasn't read — plus Harmeet Dhillon's DOJ plan for 1,000 general-election monitors. Trump evicts CNN/Politico/MSNBC, the rest walk out, Trump TV plugs the static, and Jackie Heinrich's WHCA line that a briefing-room badge is privilege not the First Amendment. Vivek's Polymarket doom, Mike Johnson's whisper for a temporary diesel export ban, Larry Ellison's Paramount-to-Tennessee / CNN rumor, Trump torching the UN on Christian persecution, a claimed FBI personnel-data hack, and Haitian-assassination defendants flown to Florida on PPP-fraud jurisdiction — then Maple Street doubles and PJ's Exit 33.

On today's episode, Monday News with the Fearsome Foursome — James, Glenn, and Dwayne (Ben sat this one out because James forgot to invite him) — opens on Glenn's Tesla windshield “consequences of sin” spider crack and Mike Benz's chilling “from the future” warning that EU free-speech fines will bankrupt platforms before 2028. Dwayne walks why Democrats are desperate over Trump's USPS mail-ballot order (third nationwide injunction, homeless-shelter thousand-ballot math), Lee Zeldin's $20 billion NGO clawback and “gold bars off the Titanic,” plus the $5,000 midterm “Trump cash” fight with Jimmy Williams and a teaching-point theory worthy of Lane Kiffin. They hit Chinese billionaire Zubo's 100–300 American-citizen kids, Mitch McConnell's Weekend-at-Bernie's comeback, Wiley Tower flags on all four sides, no Atlantic hurricanes vs FEMA cuts, Ireland whiskey and a Scotland/Wales/Northern Ireland break from the UK, Mondami and AOC laughing through 9/11 names, the rotting Kennedy Center Trump walked away from, James's hate-mail for the White House ballroom, a diesel crunch from a bombed Saudi pipeline and Ukraine's hit on 40% of Russian refining, and a Tesla Roadster Waco Oct. 1 cold-thrust “where we're going” flying-car fever dream — then Maple Street double-shots and PJ's Exit 33. Don't miss it!

Gospel Reading: Matthew 18:21-35 Sermon by Rev. Sue Sprowls.  Pastor Sue arrived this weekend as Holy Trinity's candidate for a Pastoral Call.  She left on Sunday to be officially called as our new Pastor.  She will begin her ministry at our Church in a month or so.

On today's episode, Conspiracy Friday hits the 25th anniversary of 9/11 with James, Glenn, and Dwayne (Charlotte was expected in the title but out babysitting). Glenn walks the classic conspiracy stack and the debunks — Pentagon missile/hole claims, NORAD war-games confusion, Rumsfeld's pre-day trillion, “laughing Israelis” that weren't, and Saudi foreknowledge questions — while James refuses to let the Blob's Islamophobia frame make America forget who did it, and Dwayne brings Howard Lutnick's Cantor Fitzgerald story (658 colleagues gone) plus a hard line that soft “Islamist vs Muslim” splits don't wash. Then the room flips to something hopeful: the GOP's first real midterm convention in Dallas and RFK Jr.'s home-run speech — Butler phone call three hours after the ear shot, Charlie Kirk as bridge, Kamala ghosting the call, Democrats lawfaring him to stay on ballots he'd left, and every promise Trump made him kept. Second half hits electrostatic cloud seeding and the “law of capture” rain fight, Flock/motor-voter centralization after a Louisiana-linked driver's-license vault hit the dark web, a fake AI drone-shoplifter cleanup, and the usual PJ's Exit 33 send-off.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! Today is September 8th, and our journey through the Scriptures takes us into Jeremiah 42–44, Psalm 48, and Revelation 13. In Jeremiah, the people ask the prophet to seek God's direction for them. They promise to obey whatever God says, whether they like the answer or not. Yet when Jeremiah tells them not to flee to Egypt, they reject the word they had asked to receive. Fear persuades them that they must secure their own future, even if doing so means abandoning the way God has placed before them. In Revelation 13, John describes beasts, deception, coercive power, and the mysterious number 666. These images warn us about what happens when human power is magnified, worshiped, and treated as ultimate. Psalm 48 gives us a different vision. God is our fortress and our security. We are invited to meditate on his unfailing love and to remember that God has not abandoned or separated himself from us. Today's readings confront the ancient lie that we are alone and must save ourselves. They invite us to trust Emmanuel, the God who is with us, and to align our hearts with his kingdom of love rather than the fearful kingdoms we create for ourselves. TODAY'S DEVOTION: God Is with You We are told that 666 is the number of a man. A great deal has been written about this mysterious number. Three sixes. A trinity of numbers, but an unholy trinity. It is humanity magnified, exalted, and worshiped. It is a beastly imitation standing in stark contrast to the Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We are told that wisdom is required to understand its meaning, and I do not pretend to possess that kind of wisdom. But it seems to me that whether we are looking at the queen of heaven confronted by Jeremiah or the many-headed beast described by John, the result is much the same. When humanity believes the serpent's lie of separation, destruction follows. The people in Jeremiah's day refused to trust that God was with them. They would not believe that he would protect them, rescue them, and give them life. Believing themselves to be alone, they separated themselves from God's will and fled to Egypt, another land of exile. The same pattern begins in the garden. Adam and Eve believe the suggestion that God is withholding himself from them. They imagine that he is not truly with them or for them. They hide from the God who has never stopped seeking them, and they experience exile in the very garden where God desires to dwell with them. This tragic pattern repeats itself through history. In our blindness, we fail to recognize the presence of the Triune God of life. We believe ourselves to be alone, so we rely on the gods of our own making. We worship human strength, political power, control, violence, wealth, or whatever else promises to secure us. And the result is always the same. The serpent's strategy has not really changed. Seeds of doubt are planted: God is not present. God is not with you. God is not for you. Believing that we are alone and that God is indifferent, we attempt to construct a life apart from him, apart from the Triune life of love and flourishing that has always been offered to us. But the psalmist tells us another story: "O God, we meditate on your unfailing love." Our God is like a fortified wall, a citadel, and a beacon. This is the story we will continue to tell to future generations. God is not separate from you. God is with you. That is the truth. So align your heart with his will, his purposes, and his kingdom rather than your own. Renounce the lie of separation embodied in the number 666, and worship Emmanuel, the God who is with us, the God who is love. That is the prayer I have for my own soul. That is the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that is the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

Tune in here to this Tuesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about the importance of remembering 9/11 and the responsibility to teach younger generations about the events and sacrifices of that day. Reflecting on his time speaking with students at Holy Trinity, Brett emphasizes that 25 years later, the courage displayed by firefighters, police officers, paramedics, military personnel and ordinary Americans must never be forgotten. He honors the 40 passengers and crew members aboard Flight 93 who fought back against the hijackers and highlights the unity and resilience Americans showed in the face of unimaginable tragedy. We're joined by Michael Whatley from his U.S. Senate campaign to talk about public safety and the 2026 North Carolina Senate race. Whatley discusses his criticism of former Gov. Roy Cooper's approach to criminal justice, including Cooper's 2020 Racial Equity in Criminal Justice task force and broader policies that Whatley argues were too lenient toward repeat offenders. The two also discuss the upcoming campaign event featuring President Trump and the differences Whatley sees between his platform and Cooper's. Whatley emphasizes his focus on law enforcement, immigration and what he describes as North Carolina values. Bo Thompson from Good Morning BT is also here for this Wednesday episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Bo talk about the upcoming midterm convention in Texas and what it could mean for Republicans heading into the 2026 elections. They discuss the history of midterm conventions, the role President Trump could play at the event and the potential significance of who speaks alongside him. Brett and Bo also consider how the convention could be used to unify the party and establish messaging ahead of the general election. Bo also shares what he and the Good Morning BT team have coming up tomorrow morning on WBT, including political discussion with Scott Huffman, a conversation with Charlotte City Council member Kimberly Owens, and a visit from cybersecurity expert Theresa Payton.

Christianity is broken into various denominations, and countless interpretations of them. Recently there's been an increase in claims about the supremacy of Orthodox Christianity. Attempts to acquire interviews with orthodox Christians have resulted in requests for money or insults. On this episode, we go to the source and explore the tenants of orthodox theology: the Trinity, Jesus as God, the resurrection, salvation, the scripture, the ancient church, the seven sacraments, the Eucharist, Mary as the bearer of God, the Saints being honored, the icons, and life after death. Objectively, what we find when examining these ideas is that they are evolutions -- for better or worse -- of far older and universal spiritual and religious concepts. The prehistory of such ideas is usually dismissed with aggression or attempted pseudo intellectual "got yas," with a mix of fallacy and circular logic. But what if we were to argue that the prehistory confirms the importance of such tenants; even if it also proves that they are not unique, nor are they the only answer to the issue of theosis.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

On today's episode, the Fearsome Foursome is a threesome and Mike's rundown still fills the hour. The panel works Josh Shapiro and the Pennsylvania measles outbreak, California's Nick Shirley Act and whether it shields investigators out of hospice-fraud country, Buc-ee's red-state expansion, and the Chick-fil-A boycott that turned into the best Monday in the store. They hit the Nancy Grace Roman telescope launch, "Lake America," Venezuela's oil JV and the SPR, Ukraine's deadliest strike this year, and Ruston's hospital still hanging on Medicare, which James tables for tomorrow.

Welcome into the Smoke Circle for the start of season 8! The sisters have cooked up another episode of food history with part two of The Munchies That Made Us!

Along the way, we debate who has the best pizza, get delightfully sidetracked by tomato lore (did you know the tomato isn't native to Italy?!), the mystery of the taco, and what a hostage crisis did for instant ramen sales. ~~~~~~*Timestamps 01:05 - Part two preview: pizza, tacos, and instant ramen 06:31 - Recap of part one and the role of staple crops 07:30 - Why pizza belongs on every munchies list 09:58 - Focaccia, flatbreads, and the missing tomato 12:39 - Tomatoes begin in Mesoamerica, not Italy 15:03 - Columbus, Cortés, and the Columbian Exchange 19:26 - Europe mistrusts tomatoes as “wolf peaches” 27:28 - Naples, volcanic soil, and the first tomato sauce pizza 30:07 - The Margherita pizza legend and royal branding 32:24 - Pizza spreads through Italy and into the United States 38:35 - What counts as a taco and why chalupas are real 40:05 - Corn tortillas in Mesoamerica and the roots of taco culture 42:40 - One theory for the word taco from silver mines 46:37 - The “chili queens” and tacos entering American food culture 49:52 - Glenn Bell, Taco Bell, and the commercialization of tacos 54:10 - Instant ramen as one of the world's most consumed foods 56:10 - Japan closes its doors, then reopens under the Meiji Restoration 58:00 - Chinese noodle soup becomes ramen in Yokohama 59:48 - World War II destruction and the food crisis in Japan 64:28 - Momofuku Ando spots the long ramen line that sparks an idea 66:26 - The invention of shelf-stable instant noodles and the launch of Chicken Ramen 70:31 - Cup noodles and the push into the American market 73:52 - The hostage crisis accidentally becomes a massive ramen commercial 78:40 - The Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum and ramen culture today 81:12 - Why convenience foods matter and what they trade off~~~~~*Mentioned in the Episode:Episode 90: The Werewolf Trials of Europe Half Baked (1998) Munchies List~~~~~*The Socials and Patreon!Patreon-- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Best Buds Club!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠ - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@HighTalesofHistory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  TikTok⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@HighTalesofHistoryPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  YouTube-- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@High Tales of History⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠ -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠High Tales of History or ⁠⁠@HighTalesofHistory ⁠Email—hightailingthroughhistory@gmail.com⁠ ~~~~~~*Source Material and References:Sources:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AN00PtRWjlUhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_pizzahttps://www.history.com/articles/a-slice-of-history-pizza-through-the-ageshttps://www.twistedtaco.com/the-history-of-the-tacohttps://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/where-did-the-taco-come-from-81228162/https://www.google.com/search?q=firebombing+of+japan+vs+atomic+bombshttps://ramenmuseum.nyc/history-of-ramen/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nov7lFsvBIo~~~~~~~*Intro/outro and Transition Music created all from: "Hit the Streets" Music licensed through Soundstripe on Riverside.fmCode: 5SFLA6TCMVWJERUU, EMPRILZIRAMJL8ZR

Acts 5:1-11, a very difficult passage, teaches us about the importance of unity, truth, and the fear of the LORD. It also teaches us about the mysterious nature of the Holy Trinity. We look to Joshua 7; Matthew 9:4, Psalm 94:9/LXX 83:10, and 2 Cor 6:14-7:1 for light on this passage, as well as to the Church Fathers who used it to teach about the living God.

On today's episode, we discuss a mix of current events, technology, trade policy, and the personal impact of rapid change. The hosts begin with condolences for a family grieving a child's rare illness, then reflect on faith, grief, extreme heat, and the challenges of adapting to an AI-driven workplace. They debate U.S. trade negotiations with Canada, potential sanctions on Iran, and their views on tariffs as tools of economic leverage and national strategy. The conversation also explores election security, polling skepticism, and political negotiations involving Jared Kushner and Hakeem Jeffries. Finally, the group shares enthusiasm for Tesla's self-driving technology, the prospect of autonomous ride services, and the growing shift from gasoline vehicles to electric transportation.

Publicada en Londres por Samuel Holdsworth en 1836, la obra no nace de un escritorio sino de un púlpito: cincuenta y cuatro años predicando en Holy Trinity de Cambridge, semana tras semana, de Génesis a Apocalipsis. Y no empieza preguntando qué dice el texto. Empieza preguntando qué debe hacerse con él el domingo por la mañana: humillar al pecador, exaltar al Salvador, promover la santidad. De ahí cuelga todo lo demás, porque una exposición que no llega a Cristo no cumple el fin para el que fueron dadas las Escrituras. Este primer volumen recoge los sesenta y dos discursos de Simeon sobre Génesis, desde la creación del hombre (Gn. 1:26) hasta los hermanos de José cumpliendo la profecía (Gn. 50:15–17): el pacto con Adán, la caída, la simiente de la mujer, las túnicas de pieles, Melquisedec, Abram justificado por la fe, la escalera de Betel, Jacob suplicando en Peniel, José como tipo de Cristo, Siloh. No son sermones cerrados: son esquemas —skeletons en el original—, bosquejos deliberadamente incompletos, con sus divisiones, sus textos probatorios y sus aplicaciones, pensados para que el predicador los llene con su propia lengua. Simeon calculaba que uno de ellos, leído sin más, ocupa apenas media hora; el trabajo verdadero empieza después. El episodio recorre el contexto de la Cambridge evangélica, el método que gobierna toda la colección —veintiún volúmenes y 2536 discursos sobre la Biblia entera, más el Ensayo sobre la composición de un sermón de Jean Claude que Simeon anexó como manual—, su negativa a pronunciar el shibboleth de ningún partido (ni Calvino ni Arminio, sino los Treinta y Nueve Artículos y el texto sagrado), la conversación con el anciano líder arminiano de Inglaterra que él mismo relata en el prefacio, su papel en el impulso misionero británico, y lo que aporta esta edición: traducción íntegra y sin abreviar del impreso de 1836, con los títulos, divisiones y notas originales del autor, dentro de un proyecto de unos cuarenta volúmenes previsto para las próximas dos décadas. Una conversación sobre predicación, formación pastoral y por qué aprender a predicar sigue exigiendo pasar tiempo con los gigantes.

Read OnlineTrue GreatnessJesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples, saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees have taken their seat on the chair of Moses. Therefore, do and observe all things whatsoever they tell you, but do not follow their example. For they preach but they do not practice…” Matthew 23:1–3What does it mean to be truly great in God's eyes? In a world that prizes recognition, success, and honor, Jesus offers a radically different vision—one that exalts the lowly and humbles the proud.Today's Gospel takes place during the final week of Jesus' earthly life as He participates in the Passover celebrations in the Temple. Throughout that week, He faced ongoing opposition and envy from the very religious leaders entrusted with guiding God's people. Though these leaders gravely failed in their sacred duties, Jesus does not rebuke them out of resentment but with divine charity and a desire for their conversion. Of note, He does not address them directly, but speaks about them to the crowds and His disciples, humbling them through public correction. By doing so, Jesus makes it clear that His words are not merely a historical critique. They are a lasting teaching for every generation, offering timeless guidance for the Church and for every soul striving for holiness.The scribes and Pharisees held legitimate authority. Having “taken their seat on the chair of Moses,” they were official interpreters of the Law. Jesus does not condemn the office, only the corruption of those who occupied it. The faithful are instructed to follow the teachings that conform to God's law, even if the leaders' lives fall short. This reminds us that the efficacy of the Church's sacraments and teachings—entrusted today to the “chair of Peter”—depends not on the personal holiness of the minister, but on the divine authority of the office.What Jesus does condemn is the hypocrisy of the scribes and Pharisees. They impose heavy burdens without offering help. Their religious observance is external, not flowing from hearts aflame with love. They seek titles and status—honor without humility—and in doing so, distort the very Law they claim to uphold.Jesus contrasts this shallow religiosity with true holiness. He calls for interior conversion over external display. This message echoes the words of the prophets and resounds through the life of the Church, especially in the radiant witness of the saints. Time and again, we are reminded that humility and authenticity—not performance or prestige—mark the path of true discipleship.Though His rebukes are sharp, the heart of Jesus' message is love. He calls each of us to discover a higher form of greatness rooted in service, self-forgetfulness, and humility. “The greatest among you must be your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled; but whoever humbles himself will be exalted” (Matthew 23:11–12). In these words, Jesus unveils the paradox of the Kingdom: To descend in humility is to ascend in glory.Though we may not sit on the chair of Moses or Peter, the sins of the scribes and Pharisees often echo in our own hearts. Their hypocrisy was outward—displays of piety, love of titles, and the burdening of others without compassion. Even without their authority or status, we may harbor what might be called a “hypocrisy of desire.” We long for recognition, crave influence, or quietly seek affirmation more than holiness. These hidden desires, even if never acted upon, reveal an interior disposition that mirrors the pride Jesus condemns.Reflect today on any desires within your heart that are selfish or self-elevating rather than humble and oriented toward service. True charity always seeks the good of the other first. And paradoxically, it is precisely this self-forgetful love that brings about our own exaltation—not by our striving, but by God's grace. Humble yourself, and God will lift you up. Exalt yourself, and your self-exaltation will be your only reward.Lord of perfect humility, You never exalted Yourself, despite Your being the Son of God and Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity. Teach me to imitate and participate in Your humility, permitting myself to be lifted up on Your Cross, living sacrificially for You and others. In that humble, selfless, and sacrificial love, may I one day also share in Your glory. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: Sermon on the Mount, by August Stalins and Alfons JanssensSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc.

This week we consider the prayer of the community and their life together as described by Luke in Acts 4:23-36. For light upon this intriguing vignette of the early Church, we look to passages in Exodus 16, Psalm 2, Psalm 145 LXX / 146 Hebrew, Nehemiah 9:6, and Revelation 10:6. The creating God calls His people into a unity that mirrors the generous life of the Holy Trinity.

Is the All-Seeing Eye perfectly acceptable to be embraced as symbolizing the Holy Trinity?, Why do servers lift the chasuble during the elevation of the Host?, What is the desire of the everlasting hills?, and more on today's Open Line Wednesday with Fr. Mitch Pacwa. (Originally aired on 8/10/22)

On today's episode, we discuss solar power progress, controversial political headlines, and big predictions about how artificial intelligence could reshape the future. Glenn shares that his repaired solar system is now exporting electricity to the grid, producing about 34 kilowatt-hours while his household used roughly 7 to 10 kilowatt-hours in a day. The hosts also react to abortion-related legislation in Massachusetts, using sharp humor and personal anecdotes to express their opposition to late-term abortion. They debate a claim that AI-driven advances in medicine, nutrition, and agriculture could dramatically extend human life, with Dwayne arguing that technological progress may become nonlinear and James countering that people still need challenge and stress to thrive. Along the way, the group adds their usual banter about early bedtimes, daylight saving time, cloudy weather, and the promise—and potential disruption—of new technology. Don't miss it!

On today's episode, we discuss a mix of personal milestones, summertime routines, and a lively recap of the James Perspective Second Amendment Day. James and Glenn celebrate Charlotte's 41st wedding anniversary, reflect on their own long marriages, and joke about everything from football jersey numbers to the return of earlier sunsets in Louisiana. The hosts then recount a recent shooting-range outing, praising Glenn's ability to hit moving targets while James shares his own efforts to improve. Their conversation turns to firearm safety and power after a .357 Magnum damaged a target intended for smaller calibers, prompting discussion of the round's penetration and the importance of choosing appropriate equipment. With humor and friendly teasing throughout, the group reflects on the fun of the outing while acknowledging the responsibility that comes with handling firearms. Don't miss it!

In this episode, we continue our book study on Friendship in the Lord and discuss how friendship with others leads us into deeper intimacy with God. We talk about our longing for both human and divine communion, how healthy friendships free us from self-preoccupation, and why learning to receive feedback is essential to our growth. We also reflect on how unmet desires in friendship are signs of our longing for the Trinity and the importance of releasing lesser goods so that we can be free to receive God's greater gifts.    Announcement: You can buy your copy of Friendship in the Lord from Ave Maria Press (or Amazon).   Journal Questions: What makes me feel at home with the Trinity? How has God invited me to be a more faithful friend? Where do I need to grow in self-awareness and be freed from self-preoccupation? What is my disposition when someone lovingly reveals my own weaknesses and shortcomings to me? How have I refused to grow?   Discussion Questions: What makes you feel at home with other people? How is God inviting you into deeper communion with others? How has the Lord revealed to you your weaknesses and shortcomings? How did you receive that truth from Him? How have you given into sloth by seeking God's lesser gifts and ignoring His greater gifts?   Quote to Ponder: "In a special way, Christian friendship is meant to help us grow in our relationship with the Lord, as one intimately loved by him. It is meant to give us some small experience of what it means to be at home in communion with the Holy Trinity. Only in intimacy with the Lord are we the deepest "who we are." Only in communion with him are we our truest selves." (Friendship in the Lord, Page 77)   Scripture for Lectio: "I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you."

Learn the seven imbalances that keep you from peace — and how to release them so you can return to your authenticity and originality (and your inner divine self).This episode continues our series unpacking The Freedom Transmissions by Carissa Schumacher. This installment covers “The Three Veils and Seven Imbalances of the Mind” (pages 34–60), focusing on the seven imbalances Yeshua names as the distortions that keep us in fear, separation, and struggle.Before we can walk the path of peace, we have to understand what's keeping us from it. As Meggan Watterson writes in Mary Magdalene Revealed (a beautiful companion book to TFT), these seven imbalances — or what she calls the seven powers — serve as a template for what it means to be human. They reflect the ways we get stuck. We need to notice them and then confront them so we can realign with what is real and infinite within us.In this episode, we explore the seven imbalances: what they are, how they show up, and the practices that help dissolve them. When we release these imbalances, we return to our true essence — clear-hearted, connected, and at peace.What You'll Hear in This Episode* The origins of the seven imbalances — and why they aren't from the Divine* How each imbalance distorts our perception and blocks peace* Practical ways to transcend patterns like judgment, greed, and fear* Why self-awareness is the first step to spiritual freedom* How aligning with Divine Will restores balanceContinuing the SeriesThis episode follows Ep. 2 — I AM Yeshua, where Yeshua calls us to release the illusion self.

You already are freedom — here's how to live it.This episode closes our series unpacking The Freedom Transmissions by Carissa Schumacher, covering the final chapter of Transmission 8, “The Chalice and Vessel of Freedom,” and the brief yet profound Transmission 9, “The Covenant.” These teachings challenge the way we often think about freedom — showing us that it's not something to win, demand, or be given, but an inner state we cultivate and embody.Freedom isn't about external conditions or control. It's about ending the battle within — choosing forgiveness over conflict, presence over distraction, and love over fear. This chapter invites us to see that we are already free, and that the real responsibility of freedom is living it.We also arrive at a powerful realization: the ninth transmission is you. The Covenant is your commitment to carry the light you hold, to walk forward in peace, and to remember who you truly are.What You'll Hear in This Episode* Why freedom can't be given or taken away — and where it truly lives* How the illusion of freedom keeps us trapped in cycles of wanting* Why forgiveness is the only “battle” that leads to lasting peace* The role of presence and awareness in cultivating freedom* What it means that you are the ninth transmissionCompleting the SeriesThis episode follows Ep. 23 — Salvation, which explores salvation as a homecoming to your true self.

Discover how to release the heavy side of hope — and turn it into a grounded, present-moment source of strength and clarity.This episode continues our series unpacking The Freedom Transmissions by Carissa Schumacher. This installment covers “Shades of Hope” (pages 109–123), exploring how hope can either uplift and anchor us in the present or weigh us down when rooted in expectation and fear.This is about transforming hope into faith.

We're tempted to take the doctrine of the Trinity for granted. But there is scarcely any belief unaffected when we get the Trinity wrong. So argue Don Carson, John Piper, and Tim Keller in this classic discussion recorded at a meeting of The Gospel Coalition's Council.  Pull the thread of the Trinity and the universe unravels. Without the Trinity, grace and glory disappear. So does church unity. And we lose a powerful opportunity to share with unbelievers how the Trinity distinguishes the gospel as the source of love for the world. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
