In this episode we'll confront our addiction to activity and ask a hard question—Are we truly productive or just distracted? We'll explore how even good intentions can become spiritual roadblocks when we choose busyness over what Jesus calls “better.” From social media scrolling and constant multitasking to the pressures of family, work, and expectations, this episode will unpack how Jesus modeled stillness, prayer, and purposeful action—even in chaos. If you're feeling drained, always tired, or struggling to prioritize God in a full schedule, it might be time to check if you're worshiping the idol of bustling.Luke 10:38-42Mark 1:35Luke 6:12,13Matthew 11:28Matthew 14:23John 11:17-27You can now also WATCH C.L.!

Send us a text"American Idol" winner Abi Carter called in to talk about her appearance on PBS's "A Capitol Fourth," her new album, and her upcoming appearance in Chicago at the Beat Kitchen on October 23rd.ABI CARTERBIO After charming judges, audiences, and voters during her journey on Season 22 of American Idol, singer-songwriter Abi Carter went from hopeful auditioner to season winner in a matter of weeks. With the release of her 2024 album, ghosts in the backyard, the Coachella Valley native officially introduced herself as a confident, layered artist in her own right. The nostalgia-ridden 10-track LP is a narrative, story-driven collection of music that allows listeners to get to know the person behind the powerful voice that won over millions during her Idol journey. Abi wrote on every song on the project, processing her own youth from a distance in the hopes that others might feel encouraged in their own journeys. “When I wrote this album, it was therapy for myself,” Abi said. “I was trying to work through what I was feeling and thinking, and it was cathartic for me. If other people can feel that and relate to my emotions, that would be ‘mission accomplished' — even if it just reaches one person.” The second-oldest in a family of seven kids, Abi was raised in a musical household. Growing up, she sang just about anywhere she could, but it was learning piano that changed the trajectory of her life. Her skill on the instrument is near virtuosic and remains infused into every aspect of her music-making process, including the genre-blending elements of ghosts in the backyard. Abi refuses to let herself be boxed in. She embraces influences like Phoebe Bridgers, Manchester Orchestra, Gracie Abrams, and Renee Rapp, playing with indie-pop, folk, and cinematic drama throughout her discography. Regardless of genre elements, it's the raw earnestness to Abi's voice that consistently sets her apart — it's something that can only be informed by performing from the very bottom of one's soul. Abi is the rare artist that exists in the crossover of being born with natural talent and having the technical skill set to back it up. “I believe in the things I sing,” she confirms. “I try not to sing just because it sounds pretty; the best singers connect with what they're saying. That's what moves people.”

Are you still reading these silly show notes? Honestly, bless your heart. You're a true Time Machiner. Or you're just really bored at work. Anyway, on this week's episode, Dave and Milt climb into the Time Machine and rocket back to June 21, 1975 — the land of lava lamps, fringe vests, and an absolutely bonkers Billboard Top 10 Albums chart. We're talkin' Elton, Earth, Wind & Fire, The Beach Boys, and even Alice Cooper giving us all the Welcome-to-My-Nightmare vibes (spoiler: it's not a lullaby). But wait — Milt's back from Africa! That's right, our Chartmeister went on a literal safari. Lions. Giraffes. Possibly cursed sand. He's got stories, and Dave is mildly concerned for his health and sanity. Oh, and intern Jack "The Fact Machine" Nathanson drops in to host a chaotic 80s music trivia quiz that somehow leads to Warrant, Mr. Roboto, David Lee Roth, and yes, Michael Bolton co-writing a KISS song. You can't make this stuff up. The episode ends (because it has to) with the boys politely kicking some albums off the list and replacing them with stuff they actually like. Sorry, Chicago, but y'all were in your weird phase.
DATE: June 27, 2025SHOW: Prelude to PositivityProducer: Tommy GeraciHOST: Tommy GeraciGUEST: Jim VerrarosJim Verraros is an American singer, songwriter, and actor. He gained fame as a contestant on the first season of American Idol. Raised by deaf parents, he is fluent in American Sign Language and has been an influential figure in the gay community since coming out publicly in 2009. Verraros released his debut album, Rollercoaster, in 2005, and has since performed at numerous pride events and toured at gay clubs. He has also appeared in films such as Eating Out and Eating Out 2.Jim was the first (and possibly only) contestant to sign his lyrics for his Idol audition and, I believe, also the first of the Idol alumni to publicly come out. Here, we discuss his experience on Idol and his career since, as well as new music coming in August, and a lot more. I got to know a few new things about Jim during this interview and it reinforced, for me, why we should continue to forge ahead as a community. It also reinforced why I have felt we owe Jim gratitude for paving the way for others to follow and for remaining true to himself always. Instagram Spotify LinkTree

“Then I saw that all toil and all skill in work come from a man's envy of his neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.” — Ecclesiastes 4:4Ecclesiastes shows us how even good work can go wrong when driven by envy. What starts as diligence can quickly become a pursuit of status. Today, we'll look at how chasing approval leaves us empty—and how God invites us into something much greater.The Idol of StatusThe Bible Project says Ecclesiastes “targets all the ways we try to build meaning and purpose in life apart from God.” It gives voice to the Preacher, who carefully exposes the emptiness of paths like pleasure, wealth, and status. In recent weeks, we've looked at the idols of pleasure and accumulation. Today, we turn to the idol of status.This one can be harder to spot. The line between excellence and envy is thin. Ecclesiastes 4:4 says, “Then I saw that all toil and all skill in work come from a man's envy of his neighbor.” That's a striking thought. Our motivation may not be love of the work or calling—it's often the quiet urge to compete. To keep up. To be seen.That's what status does. It whispers, You're not enough—unless others notice you. And without realizing it, our careers, spending, and even our generosity, can become ways of proving our worth.“Keeping up with the Joneses” isn't just a saying—it's a way of life for many. We compare houses, vacations, schools, and the pressure to match others can lead to debt, burnout, and dissatisfaction with what God has already provided.And in our digital age, the pressure's amplified. Social media showcases only the highlight reel, not the debt, exhaustion, or stress that often accompany it. But we still scroll and wonder, “Why not me?”A Better Way ForwardEcclesiastes answers that longing with honesty. In verse 8, the Preacher describes someone who works tirelessly, builds wealth, but has no one to share it with: “There is no end to all his toil, and his eyes are never satisfied with riches…” It's a picture of success without joy. Activity without peace. A full schedule, but an empty soul.However, he then offers a better alternative. In verse 6, we read: “Better is a handful of quietness than two hands full of toil and a striving after wind.” In other words, it's better to have less with peace than more with anxiety. That's not laziness—it's wisdom. A life lived with margin, grounded in God's provision.Work as Worship, Not PerformanceThis is the invitation Ecclesiastes extends: not to give up on excellence, but to anchor it in the right place. When our work flows from a love for God and a desire to serve others, it becomes a blessing, not a burden. It becomes worship.We don't need applause—we need peace. And in Christ, we already have it. His approval is not based on performance. It's based on grace. That frees us from striving to be seen and lets us rest in being known.Maybe that's where you are—tired, overextended, wondering what you're chasing. Ecclesiastes invites you to step off the treadmill of comparison. You don't have to strive for identity. You already have it in Jesus.We often see examples of this. A professional sacrifices evenings and weekends to climb the corporate ladder, only to feel lonely at the top. A family maxes out their budget to project an image, while tension quietly builds at home. These aren't just stories—they're warnings. And they echo Ecclesiastes' caution about what we're trading in our pursuit of more.Sometimes this isn't just about envy. It's about fear—fear of being unseen, of being left behind. So we push harder, hoping success will quiet that fear. But only God can give the peace we're looking for.Redefining SuccessContentment doesn't mean quitting. It means redefining success. It means anchoring your worth in something that lasts. When you stop striving in vain, your ambition gets reoriented. Your work becomes more joyful. Your giving becomes more meaningful.So ask yourself today: Who am I trying to impress? What am I really chasing?If your hands are full but your heart is empty, Ecclesiastes invites you to trade performance for peace. True success isn't about being noticed or admired—it's about being faithful with what God has given you. And your worth? It's not something you have to earn or achieve. In Christ, you have nothing to prove because in Him, you are deeply loved, fully known, and eternally valued.Want to Go Deeper?If you want to dig deeper into these themes, we've created a new study just for you. It's called Wisdom Over Wealth, and it explores what Scripture—especially the book of Ecclesiastes—has to say about money, work, and living for what really matters.This month, when you give $35 or more to support the ministry, we'll send it to you as our thanks.

What are you doing with God's gifts?
Coming hot off the momentum of her breakout run on American Idol Season 23 — where none other than Carrie Underwood declared her “perfection” — Amanda Barise wastes no time carving out her own lane with “Cute and Deadly,” a stunning, self-assured EP that cements the New Jersey native as one of 2025's most compelling new voices. Dropped on June 25th, just weeks after her Idol journey, this collection of tracks marks a powerful creative rebirth, one that embraces vulnerability, confidence, and a genre-bending spirit that feels undeniably fresh.From the very first track, it's obvious Barise has no intention of playing it safe. Co-produced alongside Grammy-winning engineer Max Faigen, the EP melds sleek alternative R&B grooves with shades of neo-soul, pop, and alt-pop grit. It's a heady mix — one that spotlights her powerhouse vocals while offering the kind of daring, modern production choices that recall the boundary-pushing work of artists like H.E.R., Jorja Smith, and Fousheé. Yet for all its stylistic touchpoints, Cute and Deadly is unmistakably Amanda's own.
Happy Monday girlies! In this episode, we're exploring how the rise of “main character energy” in culture can lead us to idolize ourselves more than we realize. From the subtle ways we prioritize our own desires to the ways we remove ourselves from other people's stories, this conversation is a reminder to re-center your life on Christ.We'll talk about Jesus' example of self-denial, the difference between self-love and self-worship, and what it really looks like to die to self. Because true freedom doesn't come from being the star. It comes from surrender.Follow us: @girlsirlpod@mariahclayton_Don't forget to leave a 5 star rating!

"Hey Grok, has A.I. become an idol?"This week on the AC Podcast, Andy, Wes, and Troy dive into that very question. With OpenAI enabling the creation of everything from muppets to talking babies and yeti vlogs, it's easy to marvel at the creative possibilities a few prompts can unlock.But in our awe, have we placed too much hope in A.I.?While A.I. may be the wave of the future, the team unpacks what might happen when the initial wave of intrigue inevitably crashes—and what it could leave behind in its wake.
The K-pop industry is known for being super strict and encouraging idols not to share details about their private lives, especially their relationships. For LGBTQ idols, there's an added layer of pressure, where they can't reveal or talk about their sexuality at all, due to the stigma associated with homosexuality in South Korea. The country is deeply divided over LGBTQ acceptance.So what happens if you do mention your sexuality as a K-pop idol? BBC Korean's Juna Moon has been talking to Bain from the boyband JUST B, who came out as gay on stage during a show in Los Angeles earlier this year. We hear some of her interview with Bain, who talks about his fans' reactions. And Juna explains why it's so unusual for K-pop idols to disclose their sexual identity.

Are you feeling stuck in your faith—comfortable, but not fully alive? Do you sense God calling you forward, but something inside keeps holding back? In this bold and honest message, Blake Bradley exposes the subtle danger of spiritual passivity and self-centered Christianity. Drawing from the story of King David in 2 Samuel 11, Blake shows how easy it is to stay behind when we're called to step up—and how that choice can lead to devastating consequences. But he also reveals the path back: a heart of repentance, a return to God's presence, and a life marked by surrender. This message is for you if: * You've been battling temptation or spiritual drift * You're ready to tear down the idol of self and say yes to God's call * You want to leave a legacy that burns for Jesus * You're hungry for more than surface-level Christianity This is a moment to examine who is truly on the throne of your heart. Is it Jesus—or the idol of self? Blake invites us to lay down passivity, pride, and marginal obedience in exchange for full surrender and generational legacy. Whether you're new to faith or walking with Christ for years, this message will stir you to respond with a deeper yes to the Lord. The Roads Church https://theroads.church

Paul Dickerson, Associate Pastor at Christ Memorial Church, shares his journey from attorney to ministry and explores how business principles can transform church leadership and growth. While Paul values liturgical practices and their powerful connection to historical faith, he challenges listeners to consider when rituals become roadblocks rather than pathways to Jesus. Through compelling stories – from a young man shamed for wearing a hat in church to a karate instructor finding his place in worship – we glimpse both the pitfalls and possibilities of creating truly hospitable Christian communities.• From practicing law to pursuing seminary, Paul's transition shows how God redirects careers toward ministry• Churches are experiencing more adult baptisms as new people discover faith through relational connections• The "Innovator's Dilemma" explains why good organizations fail by listening exclusively to existing customers• Value networks in churches can create systems that unintentionally exclude newcomers• Balancing 70% maintenance, 20% improvement, and 10% innovation helps churches stay healthy• Traditions are valuable but become problematic when they're not hospitable to outsiders• Pastoral ministry in 2050 will likely involve more distributed leadership beyond ordained roles• Relationships remain central to sharing the gospel—each church member has connections with people far from JesusSupport the showWatch Us On Youtube!
Get ready for a direct, no-holds-barred challenge! In this powerful sermon, Coach Shelby delivers a vital message: Real Coaching = Christian Accountability. Drawing a compelling parallel between the demanding world of sports and the call to authentic faith, this video challenges the comfortable notions of modern Christianity, urging believers to embrace the tough love and discipline necessary for true spiritual growth."Why do we not care as much about Christians' growth as we do our athletes'?" Just as a dedicated coach pushes players to their full potential, even when it's uncomfortable, Coach Shelby explains that true Christian love involves holding ourselves and one another to God's uncompromising standards. Discover why genuine faith isn't passive, but requires active participation, consistent effort, and a willingness to confront unbiblical attitudes. Remember, "Idol" time is the devil's playground.In this impactful message, you'll discover:The "Idol Time" Trap: Unpack the dangerous implications of having time filled with nothing, and how it becomes the devil's playground, leading to idolatry, despair, and spiritual vulnerability.The Accountability Crisis: Learn why a lack of accountability in modern Christianity contradicts biblical principles and hinders true spiritual fruit.Coaching for Eternity: Understand why the same high standards and consequences applied in sports for temporal success are even more critical for eternal outcomes in faith.The Apostle Paul's Example: See how Paul boldly called out even respected leaders like Peter for hypocrisy, demonstrating that true love isn't afraid to confront error."Love Mental" Accountability: Grasp the concept of holding brothers and sisters accountable out of genuine, Christ-like love, desiring their obedience and growth.The "Breastfed Babies" Challenge: Be challenged to move beyond spiritual immaturity ("spoon-feeding") to actively engaging with God's Word and demonstrating mature faith.The Parable of the Two Sons: Explore this parable as a vivid illustration of obedience, conviction, and the difference between profession and action in faith.Testing Your Faith's Value: Learn why examining the authenticity and "value" of our faith and that of others isn't judgmental, but a necessary act of care.No Man Left Behind: Embrace the biblical mandate to actively fight for your brothers and sisters in Christ, tearing down strongholds and preventing spiritual error through love and truth.Don't settle for comfortable Christianity! Be prepared to be challenged, convicted, and empowered to live a life of Real Faith, Real Coaching, and True Christian Accountability.#RealCoaching #ChristianAccountability #CoachShelby #ChristianLiving #RealFaith #BiblicalTruth #Accountability #Discipleship #Sermon #SpiritualGrowth #ToughLove #BiblicalPrinciples #Christianity #WalkInFaith #CoachForChrist
“All his days are full of sorrow, and his work is a vexation. Even in the night his heart does not rest. This also is vanity.” — Ecclesiastes 2:23That verse from Ecclesiastes reveals a painful truth: even a productive life can feel empty when the wrong purpose drives our work. Wealth on its own doesn't bring peace—often, it brings more pressure. But Scripture offers a better way.What's Driving All That Effort?It's easy to admire someone who plans wisely, saves consistently, and builds steadily over time. Our culture praises that kind of discipline as responsible and virtuous—and often, it is. But Ecclesiastes challenges us to ask: What's driving all that effort?In Ecclesiastes 2:18, the Preacher writes, “I hated all my toil... seeing that I must leave it to the man who will come after me.” He isn't condemning hard work—he's grieving that all he's built will one day be handed off, possibly to someone who won't value or steward it well.That's where sorrow begins—not in failure, but in success without peace. “All his days are full of sorrow, and his work is a vexation. Even in the night his heart does not rest” (Ecclesiastes 2:23). The more we accumulate, the more we fear losing it. What promised security only multiplies anxiety.What a striking image—someone lying awake at night, not from failure, but from success. The more he possesses, the more he worries. This is the irony of accumulation: it convinces us that security is just one more achievement away, while quietly making us more anxious the more we gain.Jesus' Warning About Bigger BarnsJesus echoes this same warning in Luke 12. He tells the parable of a rich man who reaped such a bountiful harvest that he decided to build bigger barns to store it all. His conclusion? “Take life easy—eat, drink, and be merry.” To the world, that sounds like winning. But Jesus calls him a fool. Why? Because that very night, his life would be demanded of him. Then comes the haunting question: “The things you have prepared, whose will they be?”What's even more interesting is the context of that parable. Jesus tells it in response to a man asking Him to settle an inheritance dispute. This wasn't someone who earned the wealth—he simply wanted his share, and maybe more. Jesus' warning is clear: a greedy heart isn't the only danger. An entitled heart is just as spiritually destructive. And that's exactly what the Preacher feared in Ecclesiastes—wealth falling into the hands of someone who didn't labor for it and may not know how to handle it wisely.We see this all the time in real life. Many financial advisors and estate planners will tell you that inherited wealth, especially when passed down without spiritual or emotional maturity, can do more harm than good. It can fracture families, distort priorities, and erode purpose. The problem isn't money itself, it's the absence of wisdom alongside it.A Better Definition of SuccessThat's why this lesson matters. You can save well, build wealth, and still feel anxious and unsatisfied—not because you failed, but because you expected your efforts to give you what only God can: peace, joy, and purpose.But here's the good news—Ecclesiastes doesn't leave us in despair. In verse 26, we read, “To the one who pleases Him, God has given wisdom and knowledge and joy.” The solution isn't to stop working or saving. The solution is to stop worshiping our work. Stop defining success by the size of your bank account and start defining it by your faithfulness to the One who owns it all.When we live as stewards instead of owners, the pressure lifts. We begin to see wealth not as a prize to secure our future, but as a tool to serve God's Kingdom. Accumulation loses its grip, and generosity takes root. That's when real joy begins.So, ask yourself today: Am I building bigger barns, or am I faithfully stewarding what God has already entrusted to me? Am I chasing peace through my possessions, or receiving it from the Prince of Peace Himself?Because in the end, peace doesn't come from what we've earned. It comes from who we trust.A Resource to Go Deeper: Wisdom Over WealthNow, if you're wrestling with these questions, we'd love to help. That's why we're excited to offer our brand-new Bible study based on Ecclesiastes called Wisdom Over Wealth. It dives deeper into this theme of dethroning the idol of accumulation and learning to live with contentment and purpose.This month, when you support the ministry of FaithFi with a gift of $35 or more, we'll send you Wisdom Over Wealth as our way of saying thank you.

Iam Tongi is the Hawaiian kid who broke everyone on American Idol Season 23. He showed up heartbroken—his dad had just passed 3 months before. Music was always their thing. He almost quit completely. But his mom secretly signed him up for Idol anyway. Then he sang “Monsters”… and the world felt it. That was the moment. He won Season 23, but losing his dad forced him to find his own voice, live, on television. When his guitar broke during Hollywood Week, he knew—this was his dad telling him he could do it on his own. Now? He just dropped “Unbreak My Heart,” plus “Sunshine” that he wrote for his mom, performed at the Opry, CMA Fest, even has a track in Lilo & Stitch, plus an album in the works… All while losing 110 pounds, still grieving, still growing—and singing from a place only he can. Iam Tongi is a true inspiration, lifting hearts around the world with his voice and story.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

To help you reflect and dig deeper, we’ve created a free guided journaling booklet that goes hand-in-hand with this episode. You can download it here. Join the conversation in our community at BJDW Community Today we tackle a topic that hits close to home for many women of faith: Has wine—or any other comfort—become more important than your relationship with God? Using a biblical lens, they explore the concept of idolatry: anything that takes up too much of our time, energy, money, or mental space—ultimately distracting us from intimacy with Jesus. While idolatry may sound like an Old Testament word, the truth is, modern-day idols are everywhere. And for many of us, alcohol quietly takes up far more space than we realize. We share personal experiences and spiritual insights into how alcohol once affected our own walks with God—and how letting it go made space for peace, presence, and purpose. We also walk listeners through introspective questions and journal prompts designed to help you examine your own relationship with alcohol with grace, curiosity, and truth. If you’ve ever wondered why alcohol feels so important—or if life without it might feel more aligned with the life God has for you—this episode will guide you gently but boldly toward freedom. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: What idolatry looks like in the modern world—and how alcohol fits in How to identify when something has taken God’s place in your heart or habits The spiritual, emotional, and relational costs of holding on to alcohol Why curiosity and compassion matter more than shame in this process How to take the next step toward freedom, one brave question at a time Join our private, small-group coaching space, The Missing Peace, and get BJDW all-community access for free! https://butjesusdrankwine.com/coaching Order Christy’s book now available!

A CLASSIC ROCKER FINDS OUT HE HAS A LOVE CHILD FROM THE 80's, some insane Movies announced and A wild list of celebrities and how they caught their significant others cheating… it's like celebs are just like us guys!CRAP ON FRIDAY Rick Moranis has been gone way too long. Even those new "Ghostbusters" movies didn't lure him back to Hollywood. But I am quite excited to announce that he WILL return to once again play Dark Helmet in "Spaceballs 2"!!! Bill Pullman will return as the hero Lone Starr, too. And Mel Brooks will be back as Yogurt . . . and, presumably . . . President Skroob. (He played both characters in the original.) Josh Gad co-wrote the script, and he's expected to be in it, too. Pullman's son Lewis Pullman has also been cast, along with Keke Palmer . . . but there's no word who they're playing. There's also no word on any other returning cast members. Obviously, John Candy, Joan Rivers, and Dick Van Patten won't be back, since they're no longer with us. Mel released the first teaser yesterday. There's no footage, since filming hasn't begun yet. It starts with a text crawl that makes fun of all the "Star Wars" prequels, sequels, sequels to the prequels, prequels to the sequels, and TV spin-offs. Then it lists all the "Dune", "Jurassic Park", "Avatar", and Marvel movies, plus DC's TWO attempts to start a cinematic universe . . . and just about every other overdone franchise you can name. Then, after a quick appearance from Mel, we get a shot of Rick Moranis' cracked helmet, and the tagline: "The Schwartz Awakens in 2027." Which sounds like a possible title but it's spaceballs and mel brooks so it could be anything. Here is Mel making his announcement. Jerry Seinfeld Proposes ‘Live-Action Sequel' to 'Bee Movie'Jerry Seinfeld has people buzzin' with this idea!The comedic genius posted about the possibility of a “live-action sequel” to his 2007 animated hit Bee Movie.“Bee Movie, which came out nearly 20 years ago, is #4 on Netflix,” he wrote on Instagram showing a hand holding a tennis ball with a honey bee on it. The next slide was the movie's poster, an image of Seinfeld's character Barry B. Benson similarly straddling a tennis ball.“Today, my friend Spike Feresten, one of the writers on the film, was playing tennis and this happened."He continued, “Clearly a sign. Time for a live-action sequel..?" DreamWorks' Bee Movie, which Seinfeld produced, co-wrote, and starred in along with Renée Zellweger, has become a cult favorite since its release.Bee Movie also featured the voices of Matthew Broderick, John Goodman, Chris Rock, Kathy Bates, Megan Mullally, Oprah Winfrey, and several celebrities appearing as animated versions of themselves, including Larry King, Ray Liotta, and Sting.Saint Louis' own Nelly and Ashanti are putting their lives on TV for all to see. They announced an upcoming reality show called Nelly & Ashanti: We Belong Together.A show synopsis says Nelly and Ashanti "rekindle their love, navigate the ups and downs of being newlyweds and new parents, and juggle their careers."The eight-episode series will air on Peacock starting June 26th.A DNA Test Connects Billy Idol To A Son He Didn't Know He HadDetails on the lovechild Billy Idol didn't know he had until a few years ago have surfaced.Idol's daughter, Bonnie, shared in the new doc, 'Billy Idol Should Be Dead', "My husband just surprised me with a DNA test as a Christmas present [a few years ago]. Then a few weeks later, I get the results back on the app and open it and I'm like, who is this? This Brant. His info reads, 'New York, 1985, looking for my biological dad.' I was like, ‘What?'"Brant, Idol's lovechild, grew up believing his dad was someone else until a different DNA questioned his mother's claims about his father. After confronting his mom, she told Brant, "Well, it's pretty crazy, but back in the day, we broke up and I actually spent a weekend with Billy Idol."Fans have done the math and calculate that Brant was conceived during Idol's wildly successful 1984 'Rebel Yell' tour.Idol has whole-heartedly accepted Brant as family, saying, "I really enjoyed being a dad. I always wanted a boy and a girl, and I finagled my way into a boy and a girl. I actually had a son that I didn't realize, who I fathered on the Rebel Yell tour without knowing it. So I somehow finagled this as well."Brant was at Idol's Walk of Fame ceremony back in 2023.Prime Video Will Soon Show Double The AdsAmazon Prime Video is about to double the number of commercials shown per hour on its ad-supported membership level. An Adweek report got the news from an Amazon spokesperson about the amount of commercials going to "four to six minutes per hour" from the two to three minutes that Prime users are used to. In 2024, subscribers who had ad-free access were forced to pay an extra $3 a month to maintain the status. Jay-Z Loses $1 Million NBA Finals Bet Jay-Z is out $1 million after losing a bet on the NBA Finals. Jay placed a bet prior to the series, banking on the Oklahoma City Thunder to win the championship in five games. After Wednesday night's Thunder loss to the Indiana Pacers, OKC can't win the series unless they do it in six or seven games. Jay-Z would have won $3.5 million if the bet had cashed in. With a net worth of $2.5 billion, we're sure Jay-Z will be alright. Ok you guys remember Spinal Tap? The Album cover debate with the label and why it became an all black cover or as Nigel would say NONE MORE BLACK? It was because the original had a woman on all fours with a dog leash on and it was deemed sexist…. To which Nigel replies “Whats wrong with being sexy? Well get this, Sabrina Carpenter announced her new album yesterday, and it's causing a lot of controversy. It's called "Man's Best Friend", and the cover has Sabrina on all fours, in front of a man who's pulling a handful of her hair. A women's advocacy group in Scotland called it "regressive", saying it reduces women to, quote, "pets, props, and possessions," and promotes "an element of violence and control." Sabrina's fans are defending it as SATIRE, and a commentary on how badly women are treated. And some are pointing out that the first single, "Manchild", actually makes FUN of men. HERE IS A CLIP OF THATMeanwhile, in the new "Rolling Stone" cover story, Sabrina talks about being criticized for the sexual imagery in her stage show. She says, quote "It's always so funny to me when people complain. They're like, 'All she does is sing about this.' But those are the songs that you've made popular. Clearly you love sex. You're obsessed with it." She adds, quote, "I truly feel like I've never lived in a time where women have been picked apart more, and scrutinized in every capacity. I'm not just talking about me. I'm talking about every female artist that is making art right now." Pope Leo isn't even the most famous guy in his family. The "New York Times" researched his family tree, and found out that he's related to a bunch of celebrities. The link is an ancestor from about six generations back. He name was Louis Boucher de Grandpre, and he was born in Quebec.And because of him, Leo is distant cousins with Justin Bieber, Justin Trudeau, Angelina Jolie, Hillary Clinton, Jack Kerouac, and Madonna. It's interesting that Leo would be related to Madonna, given that the Catholic Church has condemned her several times . . . most famously when she released her "Like a Prayer" video in 1989. A few years ago, Madonna reached out to Pope Francis, asking to meet with him to discuss "important matters." She told him, quote, "I've been ex-communicated 3 times. It doesn't seem fair." If you've ever wondered how the creators of "Friends" came up with the character of Joey Tribbiani . . . we might just have the answer this morning. Joey Lawrence claims Matt LeBlanc's character was based on HIS character Joey Russo from "Blossom". Lawrence says, quote, "Joey Russo was so successful that when they were creating 'Friends', they wanted a 25-year-old version of that." Supposedly, Matt's character wasn't even originally called Joey, but they changed it because the "Blossom" character was so successful. Joey even claims that Matt was sent to tapings of "Blossom" where he would, quote, "sit up in the audience with a yellow notepad and take notes on how I portrayed Joey Russo." He says they wanted Matt to bring the "innocence" of Joey Russo to Joey Tribbiani, so the character could, quote, "get away with his womanizing." I guess the Grammys were sick of hearing about whether Beyoncé deserved to win Best Country Album for "Cowboy Carter". So, they just announced a major change. For next year's Grammys, the award formally known as Best Country Album will now be called Best Contemporary Country Album . . . and they will also be adding a new category: Best Traditional Country Album. There's a lot to unpack here. And one year after Beyoncé wins makes the timing of this all the more clickbait-y. According to the Grammy website, "traditional country music", quote, "adheres to the more traditional sound structures of the country genre, including rhythm and singing style, lyrical content, as well as traditional country instrumentation such as acoustic guitar, steel guitar, fiddle, banjo, mandolin, piano, and live drums." Where "contemporary country music", quote, "remains reminiscent and relevant to the legacy of country music's culture, while also engaging in more contemporary music forms." Someone tweeted, "Morgan Wallen and Post Malone better not be in the traditional country category at the Grammys, because in what world are they traditional country?" Wait, hold up. When Morgan collaborated with Alvin and the Chipmunks, that wasn't traditional country??New in Theaters: "How to Train Your Dragon", "Materialists", and "The Life of Chuck" There's nothing like a good breakup story. Here are seven times a celebrity found out their partner was cheating in an unconventional way: 1. Demi Moore learned that Ashton Kutcher was having an affair in 2011, from a Google Alert. When she called him on it, he admitted it right away. Her response was, quote, "Are you [effing] kidding me?" 2. Britney Spears started dating lawyer David Lucado in 2012. But in 2014, her father found out there was paparazzi footage of David kissing another woman. He bought it to prevent it from being released, and Britney broke it off. 3. Kourtney Kardashian dumped Scott Disick in 2008, after finding texts on his phone from a contact called, quote, "my wife." They did the on-and-off thing until 2015, when photos emerged of Scott with another woman in France. 4. Elizabeth Hurley found out Hugh Grant was cheating on her in 1995, when he got arrested for GETTING IT ON with Sunset Boulevard prostitute Divine Brown in his car. They didn't break up until 2000, and they're still friends. 5. Laura Dern found out Billy Bob Thornton was being unfaithful when the news broke that he had ELOPED with Angelina Jolie in 2000. She was away making a movie, and she never saw it coming. 6. Eva Longoria's marriage to NBA star Tony Parker ended in 2010, after she found inappropriate texts with another woman on his phone. 7. This one's ancient history, but it was a HUGE tabloid story back in the day: In 1958, actress Debbie Reynolds was missing her husband, Eddie Fisher, because he was supposedly away on tour. So she decided to give her friend Elizabeth Taylor a call . . . and who answered Liz's phone? Eddie FREAKIN' Fisher. (!!!) Eddie left Debbie and married Liz, but that only lasted five years.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What if the very blessings God gave you—family, children, dreams, ministry—became the very things standing in the way of deeper intimacy with Him? In this Spirit-led conversation, Jenny Donnelly, founder of Her Voice Movement, returns to the podcast with a timely message about idolatry in disguise. Through a vivid dream and divine revelation, she shares how even good things can quietly take God's place in our hearts, opening the door to fear, anxiety, and spiritual bondage. With raw vulnerability, Jenny walks us through her personal journey of healing from trauma and breaking free from the idols she didn't even realize were there—idols rooted in control, fear, and misplaced dependency. This episode is an invitation to radical surrender. Jenny shares how to recognize and tear down modern-day idols, break the cycle of fear, heal the wounds that give idols power, and trust God to rebuild what you've laid down. She also reveals how to intercede for your family with Heaven's perspective and walk in spiritual authority without fear. Whether you're battling anxiety, control, or the ache of unfulfilled dreams, this conversation will stir your spirit and unlock new levels of freedom. It ends with a heartfelt, Holy Spirit-filled prayer to renounce idols and welcome God's healing presence. Freedom begins when He becomes everything.
