In this episode, Cody and Bradley ask a deceptively simple question: Should there even be such a thing as “Christian art” or a “Christian music industry”?Using recent comments from Islander frontman Mikey Carvajal as a starting point, they discuss the difference between a Christian making art and art that is explicitly Christian, the problems that come with turning faith into a marketing category, and whether the answer is to abandon the label altogether.Along the way, they talk about Christian music as both ministry and industry, the danger of using “Christian” as an excuse for mediocre work, the biblical place of explicitly faith-filled art, and what it looks like for Christians to glorify God through craftsmanship, music, business, and vocation.The question isn't whether every Christian artist needs to make “Christian art.” It's whether Christians can make excellent work without either hiding their faith or turning it into a brand.Buy your guitar effects at https://westminstereffects.com.Join the discussion at https://www.facebook.com/groups/DoxologyPodcast.Follow us:Facebook: https://facebook.com/westminstereffectsInstagram: https://instagram.com/westminstereffectsTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@westminstereffectsX: https://x.com/WestminsterFXSubscribe:Apple: https://apple.co/3VmaqJUSpotify: https://bit.ly/3hJrkEC

It's his sixth stop running an NHL bench. For Peter DeBoer, the New York Islanders will offer a challenge different from others faced previously. Since taking over for Patrick Roy in April, there's been minimal personnel turnover and an offense and power play among the lowest tanked in the NHL.Still, there's a solid defense core led by Calder Trophy winner Matthew Schaefer and an elite-level goaltender in Ilya Sorokin.DeBoer will share his thoughts on his team amidst a very competitive Metropolitan Division.IN THIS EPISODE:[01:52] - N.Y. Islanders head coach Peter DeBoer is welcomed to the show and takes a trip down memory lane with Neil to his days in junior with Windsor of the OHL and some of the future NHL personnel he played with or was coached by.[06:03] - As the discussion moves to coaching, Neil and Peter talk about the humility of the coaching profession.[07:28] - By getting in late in the last season, DeBoer has now spent every season since 2008-09 behind an NHL bench. Still, he credits the break for most of 2025-26 for giving him the itch to get back in.[08:50] - Neil and Pete take a look back on DeBoer's coaching days in Kitchener, where he enjoyed success with two OHL championships and a Memorial Cup in 2003.[10:46] - DeBoer's Muhammad Ali story.[13:01] - And had DeBoer not gone on to coaching hockey, he likely would have been quite the lawyer.[15:33] - Now in his sixth NHL stop, the jury is still out for DeBoer as to whether this Islander team has any of the signatures of the Panthers, Devils, Sharks, Golden Knights or Stars teams he's led.[18:23] - The significance of the four games at the end of 2025-26 that helped ease the transition for the new season.[20:03] - Thoughts on the shorter training camp - one which another NHL head coach would like to see even shorter.[21:37] - DeBoer has enjoyed particular success in the first seasons at all of his previous NHL stops, similar to the current head coach in LA, Peter Laviolette. Is there a secret sauce?[23:55] - The comeback of Semyon Varlamov. After not having played for 662 days, there is a strong possibility he could start the season as Ilya Sorokin's backup.[26:30] - Matt Barzal update.[27:34] - With an team that has been offensively challenged for the past couple of seasons, DeBoer shares the priorities of where the team needs to get to in order to produce enough to compete for a playoff spot.[29:28] - Part of that offensive struggle has been a woeful power play. Is it simply a matter of good and bad coaching with the man advantage that decides success?[31:27] - The anticipation of working with Calder Trophy winner Matthew Schaefer.[33:34] - Putting a wrap on the discussion with Pete DeBoer[36:12] - Other league news including holdouts, contracts, injuries and retirements.X: https://twitter.com/NHLWraparoundNeil Smith: https://twitter.com/NYCNeilVic Morren: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vic-morren-7038737/NHL Wraparound Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nhlwraparound/#NHLWraparound #NHLWraparound.com #ShortShifts #NYCentric #CelebritySeries #HallofFameEdition #StanleyCupdate #SummerCoolers #Smith'sPix #NeilSmith #VicMorren #NHL #BZZR #UBS #PeterDeBoer #PatrickRoy #SpencerCarbery #RodBrind'Amour #JeffBlashill #AndrewBrunette #JohnHynes #AdamGraves #BobBoughner #PaulMaurice #DarrylShannon #DarrinShannon #GlenFeatherstone #PatJablonski #PeterIng #JimRutherford #TomWebster #MarioLemieux #AlainLemieux #JackCapuano #MarkCrawford #RonWilson #MikeRichards #DerekRoy #NazemKadri #BrentSutter #SidneyCrosby #PatriceBergeon #RyanGetzlaf #CoreyPerry #SheaWeber #DionPhaneuf #MuhammadAli #ScottyBowman #PatDucharme #BobProbert #JoeNieuwendyk #GaryRoberts #NathanHorton #JayBouwmeester #ZachParise #IlyaKovalchuk #PeterLaviolette #KenHolland #MathewBarzal #SemyonVarlamov #VitekVanecek #IlyaSorokin #MathieuDarche #AndersLee #KylePalmieri #BoHorvat #MatthewSchaeffer #AlexanderRomanov #BraydenSchenn #MatiasMaccelli #CalumRitchie #SimonHolmstrom #RogerNeilson #JohnTortorella #BraydenPoint #NikitaKucherov #StevenStamkos #BrianLeetch #SergeiZubov #JonCooper #BrianBurke #SheldonKeefe #MikeSullivan #ConnorHellebuyck #DylanLarkin #JordanStaal #MarkStone #RyanLeonard #JustinSordif #DrakeBatherson #NoahOstlund #CutterGauthier #LeoCarlsson #DanVladar #JasonZucker #ElvisMerzlikins #CamTalbot #JetGreaves #NickBjugstad #AdamSykora #KevinHayes #RyanReaves #JamieBenn #RyanO'Reilly #ZachBogosian #CraigMacTavish #AndyBrown #CraigButton #TSN #QuinnHughes #KirillKaprizov #AnaheimDucks #BostonBruins #BuffaloSabres #CalgaryFlames #CarolinaHurricanes #ChicagoBlackhawks #ColoradoAvalanche #ColumbusBlueJackets #DallasStars #DetroitRedWings #EdmontonOilers #FloridaPanthers #LosAngelesKings #MinnesotaWild #MontrealCanadiens #NashvillePredators #NewJerseyDevils #NewYorkIslanders #NewYorkRangers #OttawaSenators #PhiladelphiaFlyers #PittsburghPenguins #StLouisBlues #SanJoseSharks #SeattleKraken #TampaBayLightning #TorontoMapleLeafs #UtahMammoth #VancouverCanucks #VegasGoldenKnights #WashingtonCapitals #WinnipegJets #WindsorSpitfires #OHL #TorontoMarlies #KHL #KitchenerRangers #MemorialCup #JoeLouisArena #HockeyCanada #CalderTrophy #ConnSmytheTrophy

This week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report looks ahead to Alabama Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo weekend with a mix of inshore, nearshore, and offshore tactics from Capt. Patric Garmeson of Ugly Fishing and Capt. King Marchand of Capt. Mike's Fishing. Butch Thierry opens the show with a reminder to be careful during one of the busiest boating weekends of the summer, especially with pop-up storms, offshore runs, night traffic, and tournament pressure all in play. Capt. Patric Garmeson kicks things off with a detailed inshore and nearshore report from the Dauphin Island area. He covers summertime trout, redfish, flounder, sheepshead, black drum, puppy drum, Spanish mackerel, king mackerel, cobia, red snapper, sharks, and jack crevalle, while stressing the importance of changing tactics instead of getting locked into one species or one presentation. Patric explains how he's using croakers, shrimp, baitfish, popping corks, free-lined baits, Z-Man paddletails, Slick Juniors, and heavier jig heads around deeper structure. He also breaks down how thermoclines can show up on electronics and why fish may hold above that low-oxygen bottom layer, making it important to adjust bait depth and presentation. Nearshore, Patric shares how chunking pogies has produced snapper, cobia, kings, Spanish, and other bonus fish, and why small circle hooks, hidden hooks, steady chum lines, live croakers, bite tippets, and drift lines can all help anglers get more bites. Capt. King Marchand closes the show from the Lady Ann with a big-game-focused rodeo report. He explains how tournament fishing changes the mindset from filling the box to targeting winning fish, and why he and the Capt. Mike's Fishing crew are planning to focus on tuna, dolphin, marlin, and wahoo rather than trying to cover every rodeo category. King talks through tackle upgrades, live-baiting blackfin tuna for blue marlin, trolling big lures, chunking and live-baiting for tuna, looking for grass lines, watching Hilton's Realtime Navigator, and deciding when to stay on fish versus when to leave a rig. He also covers offshore safety, storm strategy, cobia around buoys and structure, a tougher snapper bite around heavy bait, and the blue-and-white Islander behind a bird as one of his confidence baits for blue marlin.

Low frequency ferry! Climb aboard the Islander for ten hours of uninterrupted sounds recorded in the belly of a Steamship Authority ferry on the way to one of the islands. Included are low-frequency hums, waves, non-obtrusive announcements, some hopeful seagulls (more on the gulls below) and drifting notes and sounds. Whether you're studying, working, reading, sleeping, or unwinding after a long day, this immersive ambient soundscape provides the perfect background soundtrack. No talking, no interruptions—just pure ferry relaxation. Ignore the World.If you want an audio experience that's more true to life check out last year's ferry episode. And like and follow and all that too!_______Vineyarders or Nantucketers might notice the Islander chugging across this week's episode cover. We're pulling the beloved Steamship Authority ferry out of retirement (I don't want to look at the photos from the Staten Island ship graveyard, thanks) for a magical journey across Vineyard Sound. The Islander a bathtub-shaped vessel designed specifically for passage between Woods Hole and the islands was taken out of service in 2007. (This week's episode uses recordings from within the Island Home but shhh we're pretending.)Also on the cover are a smattering of seagulls chasing the ferry and, a once-easy food source. I won't admit to ever tossing crackers or French fries off the stern to watch birds dive for the morsel before it hit the water. Yet it was common enough that you would see hundreds of birds trailing any ferry with a galley. The birds knew not to chase the "freighters"—at best, the freight ships had a soda machine and one urinal."'Ay Chief, don't feed the birds,'" became a more prevalent message in the aughts—or at least that was the first time I remember hearing it. A shiphand was shouting at a dad holding his kid, and the kid had a fat Cheeto outstretched toward a bird hovering in to snatch it from between those small fingers.We humans love feeding small animals from our hands, amirite? But not people in need—ooph... no, we're not going there on a holiday (imperial holiday). I'm kidding. We're kidding. I'm kicking away the soapbox (turn off commercial news, commercial news lies). It is a holiday in the States. And, to be serious for a moment, not everyone has a swell time when the sky lights up with merry-colored explosions. If you haven't guessed—we're back at the fireworks holiday. And while a night of fireworks means fun with beer, hot dogs, and brightly colored booms, for others it can trigger negative physical or psychological effects. (Also, I've heard we have some dog listeners, which are also affected by 4TH celebrations. So shout-out to any doggo listeners, enjoy a chill ferry ride.)This isn't about any lost love of country—not everyone appreciates a blackened sky invaded by rings of light and screamers. One good friend who experienced combat described his neighborhood's personal fireworks displays as "thunderstorms on crack."So if you're apt to pull your shades and pump up some sounds, may I suggest a long, low-frequency trip in the bowels of a magical ship on the way to paradise.PS: The Steamship Authority ferries are a fave microphone spot for me. I've used their sounds in many of my otherworldly episodes, including as the foundation for the Starship Enterprise and a Star Destroyer.

Rob Explores Casa Amor Love Island Season 8, Episode 19 brings the Casa Amor shake-up front and center as Rob Cesternino, Brian Scally, and Kirsten MacInnis dissect every twist, betrayal, and unexpected moment from the villa. Casa Amor week forces Islanders to test their loyalty, reconsider alliances, and, in some cases, up their challenge skills, sometimes with bizarre results. The panel unpacks how the arrival of Casa Amor kicks the game into high gear, creating new tensions and reshuffling relationships. Brian Scally and Kirsten MacInnis analyze key strategic choices, spotlighting Islanders who seize the moment versus those who fade to the background. Rob Cesternino expresses confusion (and some frustration) with the recoupling rules, while all three hosts debate the social fallout from recent eliminations like Sol and Gabe. They linger on the now-iconic “foot challenge,” exploring its place in the increasingly outrageous Love Island challenge canon, and question which Islanders are here for love, drama, or simply screen time. Corbin's odds as potentially the only Islander bringing someone back from Casa Amor, and how this shakes the villa. The Sol and Gabe exit controversy: why their departures matter to the fanbase and what it reveals about audience favorites. Foot-sucking in challenges: a new franchise low or just another odd Love Island ritual? Strategic recoupling intrigue, especially whether KC will choose Tierra over Aniya and if Aniya will stand her ground. Kenzie's splits: impressive skill or comedic coping mechanism? The tangled personal connections and pre-villa relationships that influence new arrivals and cause unexpected friction. Is KC's new “Joker era” going to implode his best shot at love, or does he have a plan to swing back to Aniya? Will Casa Amor challengers like Carl find a way to stick around as the culling draws near?

Love Island USA S8 Eps 5-7 Recap Love Island USA Season 8 charges into week two with episodes 5, 6, and 7, as Kirsten MacInnis and Brian Scally guide listeners through a week full of eliminations, bombshell arrivals, and conflicted connections. With new faces stirring up the status quo and emotional conversations rippling through the villa, the episode dives deep into shifting couple dynamics and the raw feelings behind them. The conversation focused on the changing landscape after Corbin quickly slips into the background, overshadowed by the newest bombshells. One concept discussed was the vulnerability and honest dialogue sparked by KC and Aniya, who address colorism and personal confidence, then struggle when flirtations and rumors threaten their trust. The discussion explored Kenzie's shifting alliances as her interest moves from Corbin to Caleb, while social media's jokes about “Corbin AI” underline his increasing irrelevance. Several points were raised, including Sincere and Melanie's fiery tension, the challenge-driven make-out chaos, and the group's reaction to game twists and messy strategy. KC and Aniya confront colorism, building a real connection but wrestling with insecurities and attraction to new bombshells. Kenzie's loyalty is tested as she considers newly-arrived Caleb, even while Corbin gets teased for blending into the background. An unforgettable slumber party bed challenge leads to awkward kisses and revelations about the Islanders' real interests. Gabriel and Bea compare exes and languages, stirring up questions about authenticity and their comfort with vulnerability. Sincere and Melanie spiral after flirty moments and secret kisses with Soul, leading to more trust issues and dramatic group chatter. As relationships get messier and voting approaches, who will find real connections, and who risks fading into the background? New arrivals and bold moves force every Islander to show where their heart really lies. Catch the entire episode for a lively, in-depth look at every twist, romance, and risk from this dramatic stretch of Love Island USA.
