Author Karen Malpede graces us with her presence this week. She talks about her new play 'Epstein Oratorio Or A Modern Hymn to Demeter'. We talk about the Epstein Class, how they obscure the horrors of their actions in language and how Malpede uses excerpts from the files directly. As in all her work, she asks how we can imagine the possibility for healing when we ask the right questions. Expect a satirical, hilarious and poignant work - go watch it this Thursday at LaMama ETC. Tune into the interview to learn more about the play and how radical art has been the pulse of the leftist movement for decades.

El rapto de Perséfone contado entero, tal como lo narra el Himno homérico a Deméter. Casi todo el mundo se sabe el resumen: una chica coge flores, se abre la tierra, Hades se la lleva, come seis semillas de granada y por eso hay seis meses de invierno. El poema más antiguo que lo cuenta, de hace unos 2.600 años, no está de acuerdo: ni fueron seis semillas ni fue medio año, y al rapto le dedica unos cuarenta versos. El resto es para la que se queda arriba, una madre que, cuando nada le devuelve a su hija, deja a la humanidad entera sin comer.En este episodio: el narciso de cien cabezas que Zeus hizo brotar como cebo; el matrimonio pactado entre dos hermanos sin preguntar a la novia ni a su madre; Hécate y Helios, los únicos que oyen el grito; nueve días de búsqueda con una antorcha en cada mano; Deméter disfrazada de anciana junto al Pozo de las Doncellas de Eleusis; Demofonte, el bebé al que mete cada noche en el fuego para hacerlo inmortal; Yambe, la primera risa y el ciceón; el año más terrible para la humanidad; la única vez que habla Hades; la semilla de granada y sus dos versiones; el trato de Rea, un tercio del año y no la mitad; el manuscrito que apareció en un establo de Moscú en 1777; y los misterios de Eleusis, que duraron mil años y cuyo secreto quizá era una espiga.

Why has singing been part of worship for thousands of years?In this episode of Together 4 Good, we explore why music reaches parts of us that words alone sometimes cannot. From ancient Scripture to Sunday morning worship, singing connects our hearts to God, connects us to one another, and can even carry our faith when believing feels difficult.We also look at the powerful connection between music and memory, why certain hymns stay with us throughout our lives, and how the songs we sing together can remind us that we are part of something much larger than ourselves.Why singing has been part of worship throughout ScriptureHow music engages more than just our intellectWhy congregational singing is an act of community, not performanceHow the church can help carry us through seasons of doubtWhy hymns and sacred music become tied to memory, grief, hope, and faith00:00 Why do people sing when they worship?01:50 Music throughout Scripture03:50 Why music reaches beyond the intellect06:15 The role of music in Sunday worship08:00 We are not here to watch a performance08:45 When the community believes for you10:30 Learning to depend on one another11:40 What happens when we breathe and sing together13:20 Music, memory, and passing faith along14:20 Singing during grief and hospice15:40 Taking Sunday's songs into the rest of the week16:30 Hymns connecting generations18:00 Singing with those who came before us18:30 Music ministry at BethanyWhat hymn or song has stayed with you through an important season of your life?

The Hymn of Praise, Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing - Nettleton by First Community Church

Why are the new English translations for the forthcoming second edition of the Liturgy of the Hours opting for unrhymed meter? Dr. Benjamin Lewis, Director of Translation Services for the International Commission on English in the Liturgy (ICEL), joins host Matt Swaim on the Son Rise Morning Show following his presentation at the Society for Catholic Liturgy conference. Dr. Lewis defends ICEL’s approach, explaining why preserving theological depth and Latin meter takes precedence over forcing rhyme schemes. He also highlights historical precedents for unrhymed hymnody—such as O Come, All Ye Faithful—and previews what clergy, religious, and lay faithful can expect from the upcoming Divine Office translation.

Sometimes what we see around us can make us wonder whether God is really at work. Scripture invites us to look beyond appearances and discover a deeper reality that can reshape the way we understand our circumstances and live by faith. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris explores what it means to see the world — and our lives — through eyes of faith. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

Psalm 65 || A Harvest Hymn || Josh King by Meridian Church

Acclaimed musicologist, composer, and author Dr. Michael Hicks served on the BYU faculty for 35 years, retiring as Professor Emeritus of Music. In our conversation, we delve into the rich and often surprising history of Latter-day Saint hymnody, looking at everything from the earliest frontier gatherings to the forthcoming global hymnbook.Michael shares how early Saints truly experienced music in their worship, shedding light on the untold stories behind iconic hymns, the shifts across different church hymnals, and the musical tastes of church leaders. We also dive into the oral practice of “lining out” hymns, the stark divide between Emma Smith's personal, grace-centered hymn selections and the Apostles' second-coming anthems, and the peculiar tale of how President Spencer W. Kimball's personal record collection made its way across the Atlantic.Some highlights from this episode include:The Lost Art of “Lining Out”: How early Latter-day Saints sang without hymnals or printed musical notation, relying on an oral, line-by-line call-and-response tradition that mirrors modern campfires and concerts.Emma Smith vs. The British Apostles: The dramatic divergence in early LDS hymnody—how Emma Smith favored deeply personal hymns centered on grace, individual redemption, and grief (including "Amazing Grace"), while the Apostles in Manchester compiled bold, millenarian songs of triumph and Zion.Joseph Smith's Real Musical Favorites: Debunking the popular myth that "A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief" was Joseph Smith's personal favorite song, and revealing why four out of his five most requested tunes were melancholy soldier ballads about the grief and regret of war.Gospel Hymnody & "Pub Songs": How 19th-century revivalist music, jaunty 3:1 rhythms, and slow harmonic changes reshaped Latter-day Saint worship—and why British and Welsh members initially dismissed these upbeat tunes as mere "pub songs."The "Alleged" New Hymnbook: Michael's insider perspective on the monumental process of revising the Church's hymnbook, the tension between British Anglican choral aspirations and eclectic multilingual expansion, and what really happens behind closed doors when committee selections are presented to the Quorum of the Twelve.President Kimball's Secret Record Collection: The funny and heartwarming story of how Michael acquired Spencer W. Kimball's personal vinyl and 78 RPM record collection—complete with the prophet's red-inked initials over his son's name—and ended up handwriting a certificate of authenticity on a fast-food receipt for two shocked British shoppers at Deseret Industries.Resources Mentioned:• Website: Visit Michael Hicks' official site for his full catalogue of music, articles, and scholarly work:https://michaelhicks.org• Book (Print/eBook): "Spencer Kimball's Record Collection: Essays on Mormon Music" by Michael Hicks (Signature Books):https://www.signaturebooks.com/books/p/spencer-kimballs-record-collection• Audiobook: "Spencer Kimball's Record Collection" (Audible Edition, narrated by Michael Hicks):https://www.audible.com/pd/Spencer-Kimballs-Record-Collection-Audiobook/B08N6WX14P• Scholarly Article: "What Hymns Early Mormons Sang and How They Sang Them" by Michael Hicks (BYU Studies):https://byustudies.byu.edu/article/what-hymns-early-mormons-sang-and-how-they-sang-themFollow For All The Saints on social media for updates and inspiring content:www.instagram.com/forallthesaintspodhttps://www.facebook.com/forallthesaintspod/For All The Saints episodes are released every Monday on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and more:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVDUQg_qZIU&list=UULFFf7vzrJ2LNWmp1Kl-c6K9Qhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3j64txm9qbGVVZOM48P4HS?si=bb31d048e05141f2https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/for-all-the-saints/id1703815271If you have feedback or any suggestions for topics or guests, connect with Ben & Sean via hello@forallthesaints.org or DM on InstagramConversations to Refresh Your Faith.

God's people have worshiped Him from the very beginning. Able offered sacrifices to the LORD. Noah and Abraham built altars to worship the true God. Moses constructed the tabernacle for worship, and Solomon built the LORD a temple. God people gathered around humble altars, and glorious temples to worship. For what reason?  This hymn, and the Psalm that it is based on (Psalm 100) answers that questions.  The Psalmist describes God's people: "Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name." Psalm 100:4 The Psalmist also describes why God's people do this: "For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations." Psalm 100:5 Remember why you come to church: The LORD is good. Remember what that means: Jesus paid the debt of your sin through His life and death. That changes us. He has given us a new life, freedom from ourselves and freedom to serve Him.  O enter then His gates with praise, Approach with joy His courts unto; Praise, laud, and bless His name always, For it is seemly so to do. (TLH 14:3) The LORD bless your worship of Him this weekend, and give you joyful hearts for all that He has done for YOU!

What crowns will you receive at the judgment seat of Christ? In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster of Good News Baptist Church in Sint Maarten walks us through four distinct crowns described in the King James Bible that will be given to faithful believers at the judgment seat of Christ.Drawing from 1 Corinthians 9, Proverbs 11:30, 1 Thessalonians 2:19, James 1:2-3, Revelation 2:10, 2 Timothy 4:8, and 1 Peter 5:2-4, Pastor Webster unpacks what God's Word says about the rewards awaiting those who live faithfully for Christ.You might be asking:- Is heaven really about more than just getting in?- What does it mean to endure temptation faithfully?- Do I have to be a preacher to receive a heavenly reward?- Why does loving the return of Christ matter to God?Key points from this devotion:- The crown of rejoicing is given to soul winners who tell others about Christ- The crown of life is for those who endure temptation without giving in- The crown of righteousness is for those who love and long for Christ's appearing- The crown of glory is reserved for faithful preachers and teachers of the WordIf this devotion encouraged you, please like, leave a comment, share it with someone, and subscribe so you never miss a word.#WordsFromTheWord #KJV #BibleDevotion #ChristianLiving #GoodNewsBaptistChurchStay connected with GNBC:

Back with a brand new episode from your favorite podcast!!!!

A flooded basement, Rebecca Black's new album, a detour into real 70s Japanese jazz, and a ten-volume manga binge open the show before Eden's report on Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma and the new Resident Evil. Peter brings the Iliad, new Sigh and Igorrr, two solo cellists, and Anthrax's first album in a decade. Then it's the second round of Arnold vs. the remake: Paul Verhoeven's Total Recall (1990) against Len Wiseman's Total Recall (2012) — Verhoeven wins on social satire, Sharon Stone, and Michael Ironside, while the remake loses on accents, the physics of the Fall, and a cop-out ending.Episode NotesEden lost a long day to a flooded basement — roughly 200 gallons, shop-vac'd out in five-gallon batches. Now pricing a second sump pump.Eden on Rebecca Black's Age of the Exhibitionist: the only thing on repeat for weeks, with "Hot Wet Delirious" as the standout.A YouTube "70s Japanese jazz" playlist turned out to be AI-generated slop, which sent Eden toward the real thing: Chiyo Okumura and Jun Mayuzumi.Reading: Citrus — ten volumes in a day and a half — plus the sequel series Citrus+.Sexiled: My Sexist Party Leader Kicked Me Out, So I Teamed Up With a Mythical Sorceress!, a light novel inspired by the Tokyo Medical University admissions-scoring scandal.Eden on Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma: not a farming game with combat, a city-manager game that happens to have combat — and the spring goddess is the romance pick.Peter is still chipping away at the Fagles translation of the Iliad and is tempted by the Emily Wilson translation next.Peter put three and a half hours into Fields of Mistria and then set the Steam Deck down, exactly as feared.Eden saw the new Resident Evil and calls it the best video-game movie yet — mainly because the hero is a panicking first-time player, not a trained operative.Sigh released Goh-Ka, and the Hangman's Hymn remaster is the gateway drug.Igorrr's Amen blends breakcore, opera, and metal — Peter's pick over Spirituality and Distortion.Raphael Weinroth-Browne's Empyrean started life as a commission for James Wilton Dance's Bach Reimagined.Brianna Tam is the other solo cellist on rotation — electric cello, loop pedal, one-woman build.Anthrax's Cursum Perficio is their first studio album in ten years, and Peter rates it above For All Kings but below Persistence of Time.Main topic: Total Recall (1990) vs. Total Recall (2012), the second round of Arnold vs. the remake.The 1990 version was received as merely okay and became a classic; Verhoeven's cynicism and Reagan-era satire are why it still works.Our verdict: Sharon Stone's Lori is a better evil fake wife than Kate Beckinsale's, and Michael Ironside's Richter-era scenery-chewing has no modern equivalent.The 2012 version folds both villains into one character, moves the whole story off Mars onto Earth, and comes out with nothing to say.The Fall — 6,000 miles through the planet in seventeen minutes — would require far more than 1G, and people climb around outside it anyway.The 2012 ending undercuts itself: the 1990 film leaves the "is it real?" question open, the remake adds a final shot that cheapens the ambiguity.Jessica Biel earned a Razzie nomination for the 2012 film and, per both hosts, deserved it.Next up in the series: The Running Man (1987) vs. its remake.

In this episode of the Crack House Chronicles True Crime Podcast we discuss Mica Miller.  In April 2024, the death of 30-year-old Mica Miller at a North Carolina state park drew national attention after reports emerged that the pastor's wife had repeatedly contacted police about harassment and said she feared for her life. Authorities ultimately ruled Mica's death a suicide and said there was no evidence that her estranged husband, John-Paul Miller, was involved in her death. But the investigation did not end there.  In December 2025, a federal grand jury indicted John-Paul on charges of cyberstalking his wife before her death and making false statements to federal investigators. He has pleaded not guilty and denied abusing Mica. https://www.crackhousechronicles.com/ https://linktr.ee/crackhousechronicles https://www.tiktok.com/@crackhousechronicles https://www.facebook.com/crackhousechronicles Check out our MERCH! https://www.teepublic.com/user/crackhousechronicles SOURCES: https://www.aetv.com/articles/mica-miller-death-pastor-john-paul-miller-charges https://time.com/article/2026/08/21/mica-miller-death-of-pastors-wife-true-story/ https://lamag.com/arts-and-entertainment/inside-mica-millers-haunting-final-months-the-real-story-behind-netflixs-death-of-the-pastors-wife/

How does a 1st-century tax collector who counted Roman coins leave behind heavenly riches for the whole world? Dr. Benjamin Lewis from the International Commission on English in the Liturgy (ICEL) joins Matt Swaim on The Son Rise Morning Show to analyze the modern Latin hymn composed for the Feast of St. Matthew in the Liturgy of the Hours. Dr. Lewis breaks down the poetic wordplay comparing Matthew's earthly wealth to the spiritual riches of Christ, the subtle scriptural nods to Jesus as "David's glorious son," and how St. Matthew's gospel serves as an enduring banquet of faith for believers today.

This weekend, for our Mission Festival, we will be singing a number of "Mission" hymns. Mission Festival is a reminder of the calling that the Christian, and the Christian Church, has to "preach the Gospel to all creation." As we consider "mission work" we often can think that it doesn't apply to us. "I'm not a missionary." "I'm not a pastor. I'm not good with words, or deeply knowledgeable about theology. That is for someone else." This hymn by Daniel March reminds us that there are many ways that we can be involved in the work of sharing Jesus with others. Maybe that is as a Sunday School teacher of young children. Maybe that is simply telling a friend or neighbor about Jesus and His death for the payment of their sins. Maybe it is in supporting missionaries like Aaron and Hur supported Moses by "holding up the prophet's hands." You can do that with your prayers, and with you offerings of time, talents or treasure. There are many ways we can serve. There are many ways we can be involved. Let none hear you idly saying: "There is nothing I can do!" Rather, joyfully respond to the Lord's call, saying: "Here am I! Send me, send me!"

In this special live episode of Pastors Talk, Jonathan Leeman sits down with hymn writer, worship professor, and pastor Matt Boswell to talk about the craft and calling of writing hymns for the church. They also explore what a hymn writer and a theologian each see, how Matt writes with specific suffering church members in mind, why singing is meant to be horizontal as well as vertical, and what to do if you don't like your church's music (spoiler: sing anyway).Note: this episode was recorded live and has some audio issues throughout.

The post The High Christological Hymn appeared first on Providence Church.

This episode covers rape, drug-facilitated sexual assault, and the death of a woman. Nothing in it is graphic for the sake of being graphic. Resources are below.Late on June 25, 2026, in the small Upper Austrian town of Marchtrenk, a teenage girl finds her mother unresponsive and bleeding. Paramedics pronounce her dead at 12:44 a.m. Her husband tells police it was rough, consensual sex that went wrong. That story lasts until the autopsy.Austrian prosecutors have said on the record that she was extremely intoxicated and unable to defend herself; that her husband is under investigation for sexual abuse of a defenseless person resulting in death; that a neighbor has confessed to abusing her twice, including the night she died; and that a third man was expected to take part and did not show. Reports of a wider paid network, secret drugging, and specific chat messages.From there the episode goes to Gisèle Pelicot: the 2024 Mazan trial, the fifty-one convictions, France's 2025 consent-based rape law, her 2026 memoir A Hymn to Life: Shame Has to Change Sides, and her daughter Caroline Darian's still-open fight to be believed without a hard drive full of proof.Then Stockport, England, where a husband has pleaded guilty to five rapes of his unconscious wife while twelve co-defendants stand trial beside him. Then the CNN investigation into the so-called rape academy: sleep-content platforms, Telegram groups, a Polish arrest that started with an undercover reporter, Project Medusa, and the viral 62-million figure that was wrong.The Reality Check covers how common incapacitated rape is, leftover marital-rape loopholes, what actually moves cases, and the men who were invited, declined, and told no one.US: RAINN National Sexual Assault Hotline — 1-800-656-4673 / rainn.orgUS: National Domestic Violence Hotline — 1-800-799-7233 / thehotline.orgInternational resources are linked below.If you have unexplained blackouts or lost time, you can ask a doctor about testing for chemical submission. You do not have to be sure first.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-a-true-crime-podcast--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilRobin's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/robin_wstdTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcastTikTok: tiktok.com/@wesawthedeviltruecrime
