2/4. Naming OSIRIS-REx and Overcoming Major Hurdles — Dante Lauretta — Following successive rejections, Lauretta systematically defined the mission's core scientific objectives—Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security—establishing the OSIRIS framework and subsequently designating the mission OSIRIS-REx(Regolith Explorer). The mission received formal selection in 2011, and Mike Drake, serving as Lauretta's mentor while managing significant personal health challenges, designated Lauretta as "risk mitigation" leader. The team confronted and resolved critical technical obstacles, particularly the guidance system architecture, during the rigorous 2014 NASA review process, successfully enabling the planned 2016 launch. 1955

In this episode, I get to sit down with Peter Martin of Third Coast Percussion, an ensemble I have admired for years. Peter and I dive into the inner world of a percussion quartet that tours the globe, creates new music, commissions major composers, collaborates with artists across genres, and somehow still manages to pack an unbelievable amount of gear into checked luggage.Peter had just returned from Paris, where the ensemble performed Philip Glass's August Amazonia Suite alongside a live painter, something they had never done before. From there, we talk about what it truly takes to tour as a percussion group, how they travel with twelve checked bags of instruments, how backlining works, what happens when a vibraphone arrives broken, and why they think about portability and footprint even before a new piece is written.Peter shares his personal journey from military-kid piano lessons to discovering the drum set, jazz vibraphone, and eventually falling in love with the marimba. We talk about his time studying with Michael Burritt at Northwestern, crossing paths with Brett Dietz and William James, and the surreal experience of watching his classmates become lifelong colleagues in orchestras, universities, and ensembles across the world.We also talk about the remarkable story of Third Coast Percussion itself, from its beginnings in the Civic Orchestra of Chicago to becoming a full-time, artist-run organization. Peter explains what it really means to run a chamber group from the ground up, how he unexpectedly became the ensemble's finance director, and why having control of the administrative side gives them total artistic freedom.Then we dig into the ensemble's Grammy win for their Steve Reich album, including the thrill of performing on the telecast and the artistic decisions behind putting their own interpretive stamp on such iconic repertoire. Peter describes what it was like working with producer Jesse Lewis and why that collaboration changed how they approached recording forever.Peter also talks about the emotional experience of recording Murmurs in Time with the legendary Zakir Hussain, who passed away shortly after the sessions. Hearing Peter reflect on Zakir's musicianship, generosity, and spirit is profoundly moving.We wrap with a look at what lies ahead for Third Coast Percussion, from new commissions to international touring to upcoming collaborations, including the premiere of a new work with Jlin. As Peter says, there is never a month when the ensemble is not creating something new, and their passion for pushing percussion forward is unmistakable.It was an honor to talk with Peter and get an inside look at the ensemble's artistry, work ethic, creativity, and humanity. Third Coast Percussion continues to redefine what chamber music can be, and I am grateful to share their story with you.To learn more about Third Coast Percussion, visit their website.

In the exciting new series Revelation 911 by Darab Lawyer and Clinton Libbey, we are introduced to a new literary world of fast-paced action, astrology, ancient philosophies and intrigue. The modern day story starts in February, 2012 with an ambitious Wall Street stockbroker named Darius Prince who enters the largest trade of his career before the momentum changes course. When a demonic image suddenly appears on his trading screen and interrupts the trade, his client calls to confirm the purchase. Without speaking to anyone, Darius risks everything and verbally confirms the trade only to discover that the order did not go through and that he himself would be responsible for the monumental loss. - www.sunofapollo.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Goodbye, old certainties. Hello, paradoxical truths of existence. Welcome, the new wisdom of being here now. The book is written for anyone seeking a clearer understanding of the shift that 20-21st century science has plunged us into. The new science - including, among other challenges to our outmoded mechanistic worldview, quantum physics - has overturned our assumptions about what is real and what is possible. The Universe in Black and White, illustrated with simple and appealing black-and-white drawings throughout, entertainingly explores the changes of paradigm that have already staked claims upon our attention - whether we are ready for them or not. Materialism has become a superstition - quaint, fanciful and uncool. Our brave new world is full of paradox. Form has been discovered to be empty, while emptiness is full to overflowing. In the cauldron of our own human consciousness the seen and the unseen become alchemized into an astonishing cosmic reality, which Terry Favour illuminates with wisdom, verve and wit. Terry Favour, while sustaining herself as an artist and designer, has exhaustively pursued the answer to the question, 'Who are we?' This passion has led her across a varied terrain, weaving back and forth through spiritual philosophy and science, from East to West. - www.terryfavour.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Holy Spirit spoken word, tongues and interpretation, to Harvest Church of God: "Through much tribulation has the word come to you today. It has focused upon your heart and it calls to you for I'm calling you out of your Lo Debar says the Lord I'm calling you out of your past and I'm giving you a place come sit with Me put your feet under My table where your weaknesses and crippleness is covered and fellowship with Me. No longer hold onto your broken damaged past for behold I offer you a brand new day."

In Folge 75 melden wir uns endlich zurück! Die letzte Episode liegt schon eine ganze Weile zurück, deshalb starten wir erstmal ganz entspannt damit, zu erzählen, was bei uns in letzter Zeit so passiert ist. Ein kleines Catch-up, bevor es wieder richtig ans Eingemachte geht. Danach stürzen wir uns ins Filmthema und beginnen mit „Together“, einem Film, der uns beiden überraschend gut gefallen hat. Er hat zwar ein paar deutliche Schwächen, aber trotzdem genug Charme und starke Momente, um uns positiv zu überraschen. Weiter geht's mit einem der großen Highlights dieses Jahres: „One Battle After Another“ mit Leonardo DiCaprio. Ein Film, der uns wirklich umgehauen hat und für uns jetzt schon zu den stärksten Releases des Jahres gehört. Dann wird's wieder etwas kritischer: Wir sprechen über „The Running Man“ eine Interpretation, die einige Schwächen hat und sich nicht wie der typische Edgar-Wright-Film anfühlt. Handwerklich solide, aber insgesamt eher durchwachsen. Zum Abschluss gibt's noch einen kurzen Abstecher in die Welt der Dokus und Klassiker: Wir reden über die neue Haftbefehl-Dokumentation und den aktuellen Dracula-Film und warum Ephraim mittlerweile etwas film-müde ist, zumindest was diese Art von Stoffen angeht. Eine abwechslungsreiche Folge mit viel Meinung, Humor und einigen Überraschungen – viel Spaß beim Zuhören! Übrigens gibt es unseren Podcast jetzt auch mit Video auf YouTube und Spotify.

Believing that the universe may contain alien life does not contradict a faith in God, the Vatican's chief astronomer said in an interview published Tuesday. The Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes, the Jesuit director of the Vatican Observatory, was quoted as saying the vastness of the universe means it is possible there could be other forms of life outside Earth, even intelligent ones. "How can we rule out that life may have developed elsewhere?" Funes said. "Just as we consider earthly creatures as 'a brother,' and 'sister,' why should we not talk about an 'extraterrestrial brother'? It would still be part of creation." In the interview by the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano, Funes said that such a notion "doesn't contradict our faith" because aliens would still be God's creatures. Ruling out the existence of aliens would be like "putting limits" on God's creative freedom, he said. The interview, headlined "The extraterrestrial is my brother," covered a variety of topics including the relationship between the Roman Catholic Church and science, and the theological implications of the existence of alien life. Funes said science, especially astronomy, does not contradict religion, touching on a theme of Pope Benedict XVI, who has made exploring the relationship between faith and reason a key aspect of his papacy. The Bible "is not a science book," Funes said, adding that he believes the Big Bang theory is the most "reasonable" explanation for the creation of the universe. The theory says the universe began billions of years ago in the explosion of a single, super-dense point that contained all matter. But he said he continues to believe that "God is the creator of the universe and that we are not the result of chance." Funes urged the church and the scientific community to leave behind divisions caused by Galileo's persecution 400 years ago, saying the incident has "caused wounds." In 1633 the astronomer was tried as a heretic and forced to recant his theory that the Earth revolved around the sun. Church teaching at the time placed Earth at the center of the universe. "The church has somehow recognized its mistakes," he said. "Maybe it could have done it better, but now it's time to heal those wounds and this can be done through calm dialogue and collaboration." Pope John Paul declared in 1992 that the ruling against Galileo was an error resulting from "tragic mutual incomprehension." The Vatican Observatory has been at the forefront of efforts to bridge the gap between religion and science. Its scientist-clerics have generated top-notch research and its meteorite collection is considered one of the world's best. The observatory, founded by Pope Leo XIII in 1891, is based in Castel Gandolfo, a lakeside town in the hills outside Rome where the pope has a summer residence. It also conducts research at an observatory at the University of Arizona, in Tucson.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Nostradamus's Dream Book - Dita is a long-time searcher of the Truth who has diligently studied and experienced Nostradamus' knowledge concerning the power of the stars, came into the possession of the prophet's only dream book in a mysterious manner. This edition of Nostradamus' Dream Book (1928) was the last one in existence. Dita spent many decades, not only studying the tools Nostradamus revealed to predict individual's futures, but consistently, throughout her lifetime, has experienced their truthfulness. According to Nostradamus (and modern Science), radiation holds the Universe together and causes every object to radiate in its own characteristic way. Our established Zodiac is proof, confirming that each individual born under one of the 12 astrological signs reflects certain characteristics radiating from the planets that conform to each sign of the zodiac.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

This week, Lonnie Edge of Hankuk University of Foreign Studies joins the podcast to discuss North Korea's strategies for portraying itself as a legitimate government both inside and outside its borders. According to Edge, the Kim regime has become adept at changing its narrative or policies to address crises or changes in circumstances, such as building new apartments or bolstering rhetoric against the U.S. during economic downturns. The expert also discusses why progressive South Korean presidents typically reach out to North Korea first when attempting to build inter-Korean relations, explaining that taking this sort of diplomatic initiative without guarantees is rare and reflects how many Koreans view themselves as one people. Edge is an assistant professor in the Graduate School of Interpretation and Translation at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies. He holds a Ph.D. in international relations and has been the managing editor of North Korean Review for over a decade. His work spans inter-Korean relations, contemporary Korea and identity politics. About the podcast: The North Korea News Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Jacco Zwetsloot exclusively for NK News, covering all things DPRK — from news to extended interviews with leading experts and analysts in the field, along with insight from our very own journalists.

Drew Perkins welcomes Gary Schiffman and Jon Bassett of 4QM Teaching to the podcast to discuss their new US History curriculum and the principles behind their innovative Four Question Method. Links & Resources Mentioned In This Episode This conversation explores the gap between traditional inquiry-based learning and the need for explicit instruction in historical content and disciplinary thinking. Gary and Jon explain how their curriculum is designed to support "ordinary teachers" and build students' capacity for civil disagreement by grounding critical thinking in a robust body of knowledge. Key Takeaways & Discussion Points The Power of the 4QM Method: We detail why 4QM Teaching shifted from consulting to developing a full curriculum, recognizing the need for a practical vehicle to implement their teaching framework in the classroom. The Four Question Framework: Learn the four core questions that anchor every lesson and build specific historical thinking skills: Q1: What happened? (The skill of Narration and Storytelling) Q2: What were they thinking? (The skill of Interpretation of documents) Q3: Why then and there? (The skill of Explanation and causation) Q4: What do we think about that? (The skill of Judgment and civil discourse) Knowledge-Rich Inquiry: Jon and Gary firmly assert their position in the "knowledge first" camp, arguing that deep critical thinking is domain specific. They share why "structure is liberating" when students are equipped with a strong base of historical facts. Teaching Civil Disagreement: Discover how separating the "judgment" question (Q4) allows students to practice the art of civil disagreement in a structured, reasoned way, even when addressing controversial historical topics. Time-Stamped Topics Key moments in the discussion: 06:52 - The origin story and philosophical foundation of the Four Question Method (4QM Teaching). 10:41 - A detailed breakdown of the four questions: Narration, Interpretation, Explanation, and Judgment. 14:20 - Why 4QM Teaching finally decided to write a full US History curriculum. 21:45 - How Question 4 teaches the "art of civil disagreement" (and the related work of Natalie Wexler). 36:14 - The argument that critical thinking is entirely domain-specific in advanced fields. 52:09 - Simplifying the curriculum to reduce cognitive load with four transparent lesson types.

this episode of the podcast we dig into the idea of editing as translation. I have been thinking a lot about what really happens once the shutter is pressed and the file shows up on the screen. For so many photographers, editing is framed as a technical chore. It is often reduced to slider management or a list of corrections that must be made before an image can be considered finished. But for me, editing has always felt more like the work of a translator who is trying to bring a lived moment into a new language that a viewer can understand. When I am standing in a place with a camera in my hand, I am surrounded by a flood of experience. I notice the sound of wind through leaves, the cool air on my neck, or the way the light draws a soft edge along the side of a building. I feel my own emotional state and whatever thoughts were drifting through me at the time. All of that sensation creates a kind of internal atmosphere that shapes why I press the shutter. But the camera does not understand any of that. The camera gives me its own version of the moment. It gives me clipped highlights or deep shadows or a color that is slightly off from what I remember. It captures the literal details but it does not capture the truth of the experience. This is where editing steps in. Editing is the bridge between what I lived and what the photograph needs to say. I am not fixing problems so much as interpreting the story. I am choosing which parts of the moment were essential and which parts can fade away. It might be the warmth of late afternoon light or the tension in a deep shadow or the subtle calm in a soft horizon. These decisions are not technical choices in my mind. They are emotional ones. Color is one of the places where this translation becomes very clear. A shift toward cooler tones might bring forward the quiet or lonely part of a scene. A gentle warm lift in the highlights might echo the softness of a memory. Even simple choices about contrast or clarity can shape the voice of the image. Editing becomes a conversation with myself about what I felt and what I want the viewer to feel. Sometimes the translation is easy. The image opens up with just a few adjustments. Other times I wrestle with a photograph that refuses to come together. That usually tells me something important. It often means that I did not fully understand what I was responding to in the moment. The photograph becomes a reminder that translation requires clarity. If I did not know what mattered when I pressed the shutter, it is very hard to bring that intention back later. What I love about thinking of editing as translation is that it frees me from the idea that there is a correct way to edit. Instead, there is only the question of whether the photograph carries the same emotional weight as the experience that created it. My goal is not to make a perfect file. My goal is to make a true one. As you listen to the episode, I invite you to think about your own images and the moments behind them. Think about which photographs feel authentic and which ones feel unfinished. Ask yourself what you were sensing during the moment of capture and how you might bring those sensations back to the surface during editing. When we approach editing as translation, the work becomes more personal, more expressive, and far more connected to the heart of why we make photographs in the first place.

"Ist dieser Film faschistisch? Feministisch? Und was sagt er uns über den Kapitalismus?" Kann es sein, dass wir in unseren Kritiken die Filme eigentlich nur noch mit Buzzwords zuschütten und dabei die Filme selbst aus dem Blick verlieren? Davor hat 1966 Susan Sontag in ihrem berühmten Essay "Against Interpretation" schon gewarnt. Sie schreibt: Schon seit Platon vermuten wir eine Welt hinter der Welt und sind nicht an der Kunst selbst, sondern nur noch an ihrer Bedeutung interessiert. In dieser Folge lesen Lucas und Christian nochmal diesen Text und fragen sich, wo er heute aktueller denn je ist und an welchen Stellen man ihm hingegen vehement widersprechen will.

Throughout human history, there have been various interpretations and beliefs surrounding God's chariots. Some individuals propose that these chariots mentioned in ancient texts, such as the Bible, could be seen as unidentified flying objects (UFOs) in contemporary terms. They argue that the descriptions of these divine chariots, often accompanied by otherworldly phenomena, could be metaphors or allegories for advanced technological crafts that surpass our current understanding. It's important to note that the interpretation of religious texts is deeply personal and can vary among different individuals and religious traditions.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

This past summer, I finally marked off a destination from my bucket list: the California Redwoods State and National Parks.  Entering the parks was one of the most magical experiences I have ever had.  I felt like I was going back to prehistoric times.  Some of the Redwoods have been on Earth for thousands of years and knowing this while hiking among these giants felt inconceivable, yet at the same time, I felt so honored to be in their presence.  While visiting Jedidiah Redwood State and National Park, I met a volunteer at the Grove of the Titans who stands outside rain or shine to greet visitors.  Once a month, he will undertake a 4-5 hour commute to volunteer for an entire week in Redwoods State and National Park.  There is something to be said about this level of commitment to a forest.  The Redwoods have a rich ecological history and have stood witness to man's evolution.  This is a very special place, which is why my guest today is Deborah Zierten, Senior Manager of Education and Interpretation of Save the Redwoods League.In this podcast, we will learn how Save the Redwoods League supports the Redwood forest and explore the unique history of the Redwoods, their complex ecosystem, and how they help protect us from climate change. We will also discuss the current threats the Redwoods face and how we can help ensure their future.  Website: http://www.wildforchange.com Twitter: @WildForChange Facebook: /wildforchange Instagram: wildforchange

Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland tackle one of their heaviest topics yet, the Great Tribulation and how your Interpretation of Scripture shapes your view of politics, Israel, and modern events. In this episode of The Smith & Rowland Show, they discuss the millennial reign of Christ, the rapture, the Antichrist, the abomination of desolation, and whether the Tribulation already happened in 70 AD. They compare premillennial, amillennial, and postmillennial views, talk about the restrainer (the Holy Spirit), and explain why they read prophecy in a literal way. They also look at how public voices use religion and eschatology to frame political opinions, and why that matters for believers who want to take the Bible seriously. Watch to sharpen your understanding of end times theology and how it connects to what you see in the news every day.

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Chris Hoklotubbe and Dr. Danny Zacharias about their book Reading the Bible on Turtle Island and how Indigenous wisdom invites us to see Scripture through a different lens. We explore how the Bible, written by tribal people deeply connected to land and kinship, calls us back into right relationship with Creator, creation, and one another. Chris and Danny share stories that connect the Trail of Tears to the exile in Babylon, the teachings of Jesus to the call of Jubilee, and how truth-telling and reconciliation are part of our ongoing discipleship. This conversation challenges the transactional faith that has shaped so much of Western Christianity and reclaims a relational vision of faith grounded in love, harmony, and gratitude. It's a reminder that reading the Bible through Indigenous eyes doesn't just reveal something new about the text, it helps us remember who we are and how to walk the bright path of Jesus together.H. Daniel Zacharias (PhD, Highland Theological College/Aberdeen) is a Cree-Anishinaabe/Métis and Austrian man originally from Winnipeg, Manitoba (Treaty One territory), with ancestors also residing in Treaty Two, Treaty Three, and Treaty Five territories. He lives in Mi'kma'ki (Nova Scotia) with his wife, Maria, and four children in Wolfville, NS. He is associate dean and professor of New Testament studies at Acadia Divinity College, where he has worked since 2007. He also serves as an adjunct faculty for NAIITS: An Indigenous Learning Community.T. Christopher Hoklotubbe (ThD, Harvard) is a proud member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma.

Postmillennialism tested against Scripture. Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland debate Revelation 20, literal vs allegorical reading, and the place of Israel in the end times.

Holy Spirit spoken word, tongues and interpretation, to Harvest Church of God: "Fear not My beloved for I am your Lord and I have purchased you I have redeemed you and I have loved you. For behold I know the threat of the adversary has made you fearful but look unto Me for I am the same God that saved Hezekiah and his people and I am the God that will save you. Trust in Me says the Lord and put fear from you walk with Me and you will see My sovereign hand in your life says the Lord." "The enemy has lied to you time and again and you have believed his word over Mine but today put far from you his lies and hear My voice head and harken to what I say I am your God and I will not fail you."

We begin a new focus: Christ in Every Page? Many claim that the Bible's unity proves it must come from God—that every story and symbol ultimately points to Christ. In Part 1, we test that claim and explore what it assumes about interpretation, revelation, and theology. Does Scripture truly reveal a single redemptive thread, or have we been taught to see one?

Even the closest families move through seasons of connection. There are times when everyone feels in sync, laughing easily, sharing space, and understanding each other without words. And then there are moments when it feels like you're speaking different languages, missing each other's cues, or simply running on separate frequencies.In this episode, we'll explore why those quieter or more distant seasons happen and how to keep your family's love steady through them. You'll learn what causes those natural fluctuations in closeness, how to recognize when it's just a temporary rhythm versus something deeper, and practical ways to reconnect with calm and compassion.Because real closeness isn't about being perfectly attuned all the time, it's about staying anchored in love, even when connection feels thin.Jennifer's Takeaways:Family Closeness and Relationship Dynamics (00:00)Understanding and Managing Emotional Reactions (03:31)Self-Reflection and Identifying Personal Triggers (07:27)The Power of Interpretation and Control in Relationships (08:28)Meet Jennifer KolariJennifer Kolari is the host of the “Connected Parenting” weekly podcast and the co-host of “The Mental Health Comedy” podcast.

What is the book of Revelation really about? For ages, it has been the source of sensationalism, idolatry, confusion, and end-times predictions. But at its root, it is about the power and worship of the Lamb who was slain. Biblical scholar Michael J. Gorman joins Mark Labberton to explore how Christians can read the book of Revelation with wisdom, faith, and hope rather than fear or sensationalism. Drawing from his book Reading Revelation Responsibly: Uncivil Worship and Witness—Following the Lamb into the New Creation, Gorman offers a reorientation to Revelation's central vision: worshipping the Lamb, resisting idolatrous power, and embodying faithful discipleship in the world. Together they discuss Revelation's misuses in popular culture, its critique of empire and nationalism, and its invitation to follow the crucified and risen Christ into the new creation. Episode Highlights "The book of Revelation is about lamb power—not hyper-religious or political power. It's about absorbing rather than inflicting evil." "This book is for those who are confused by, afraid of, and or preoccupied with the book of Revelation." "We shouldn't look for predictions but for parallels and analogies." "Worship, discipleship, and new creation—that's where Revelation hangs its hat." "At its root, Christian nationalism is a form of idolatry." "The only way to come out of Babylon is to go back into Babylon with new values and new practices."

Gorman Michael J. Gorman is the Raymond E. Brown Professor of Biblical Studies and Theology at St. Mary's Seminary & University in Baltimore, Maryland. A leading New Testament scholar, he is the author of numerous books on Pauline theology and Revelation, including Reading Revelation Responsibly, Cruciformity, and Participating in Christ. Gorman's teaching and writing emphasize Scripture as a call to cruciform discipleship, faithful worship, and the hope of new creation. Show Notes Introducing Reading Revelation Responsibly "This book is for those who are confused by, afraid of, and or preoccupied with the Book of Revelation." "Apocalypse" means revelation, not destruction. Emerging from twenty-five years of study and teaching, aimed at rescuing Revelation from misinterpretation or neglect Growing up amid 1970s end-times obsession—Hal Lindsey's The Late Great Planet Earth and fearful youth-group predictions of the world's end Fear of the book of Revelation until he studied it with Bruce Metzger at Princeton Seminary Why he wrote the book: for people who have been scared or confused by Revelation's misuse Interpretation and misreading the book of Revelation Early questions: Does Revelation predict particular events or people? No predictions, but symbolic speaking into every age "Our task is not to find predictions but to discern parallels and analogies." Warning against mapping Revelation onto modern crises or personalities "When those predictions fail, the book gets sidelined or scoffed at." Keep one foot in the first-century context and one in the present Worship and discipleship The heart of Revelation is worship. "This is a book about worship—and about the object of our worship." Explaining the subtitle: Uncivil Worship and Witness—Following the Lamb into the New Creation "Uncivil worship" contrasts with "civil religion"—worship that refuses to idolize political power Influence from Eugene Peterson's Reverse Thunder and his own teaching at St. Mary's, where Peterson once taught Revelation Worship leads to discipleship: "Those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes." True discipleship mirrors the Lamb's humility and non-violence. The lamb and the meaning of power Interpreting Revelation's vision of the slain and standing Lamb as the key to understanding divine power "The crucified Messiah is the risen Lord—but he remains the crucified one." The Lamb appears twenty-eight times, a symbol of universality and completeness. "Revelation is about lamb power—absorbing rather than inflicting evil." Discipleship is cruciform: following the Lamb's way of self-giving love. The unholy trinity and the danger of idolatry Chapters 12–13 depict the dragon and two beasts—the "unholy trinity" of satanic, imperial, and religious power. "Power gone amok": political, military, and spiritual domination that mimic divinity How true worship resists empire and exposes idolatry Warning against reading these beasts as predictions of the UN or the pope; rather, they reveal recurring alliances of religion and politics "At its root, Christian nationalism is idolatry." When political identity eclipses discipleship, "political power always wins, and faith loses." Faith, politics, and worship today Christian nationalism as a modern form of "civil religion," conflating patriotism with divine will "It's only Christian in name—it lacks Christian substance." Idolatry is not limited to one side: "It permeates the left, the right, and probably the centre." Labberton agrees: false worship is endemic wherever self-interest and fear shape our loves. Both stress that Revelation calls the church to worship the Lamb, not the state. "Revelation critiques all human systems of false worship." Revelation's goal: Not destruction, but new creation "Destruction is penultimate—cleansing the way for renewal." Believers already live as citizens of that new creation. "The only way to come out of Babylon is to go back into Babylon with new values and new practices." Communal, not merely individual, discipleship: "Revelation is written to churches, not just believers." Reinterpreting Revelation 3:20: Jesus knocking isn't an altar call to unbelievers but Christ seeking re-entry into his own church. "Jesus always wants to come back in." Living revelation today Spirituality of hope, not fear or withdrawal "Reading Revelation responsibly means engaging the world through worship and witness." How true worship is dangerous because it transforms our allegiance. "Following the Lamb into the new creation is the church's act of resistance." Conclusion: "Worthy is the Lamb."
