Podcasts about Jethro

Halloween week gets weirder than ever on The Box of Oddities as Kat and Jethro dive into the chilling mystery of electronic voice phenomena (EVPs) — and why some recordings might not come from the past… but from the future.

As we continue our study of the book of Exodus we come to chapter 18, where Moses meets back with his father in-law Jethro who praises the Lord for His redemption of Israel and imparts valuable instruction. We hope you will join us Sunday as we study the importance of these verses; how they point us to Jesus; and how God wants to use us in His body! (Exodus 18)  

On Episode #179 of TSE, Jethro starts us with a story of a young man consumed with the idea of becoming the “Next Big Thing” in the music business! And if you're gonna start your own record label, why not shoot for the stars? All this gentleman needed was some money to jump-start his new career. After running through his options, though, he quickly came up with an easy way to score more money than many countries are worth!  What could go wrong? Oh, gentle listener, so much! Then Lindsay's up with a DUI stop in rural Kentucky. Picture it!  An on-duty sheriff in his SUV is nearly killed by…well…another on-duty sheriff in his own SUV. Who pulled over whom?

First, we dive into the haunted beauty of Lake Natron, Tanzania's blood-red, bird-mummifying wonder. Is it a cursed portal to the afterlife? A hellish mirror that turns animals to stone? Or just a volcano's extremely weird science experiment gone rogue? Then, things get… floppy. Meet the Atlantic Sea Hare—a gentle, squishy marine slug with the defensive capabilities of a goth ink-jet printer. It has no shell, 80 million babies, and it might be smarter than your ex. Along the way, Kat and Jethro ponder reflective death traps, romantic slug chains, and the perils of communal candy bowls. Plus: a live tour recap, hot glue burns, and a moment of deep appreciation for dappling.

Iowa's Comeback Win vs Penn St on a Jethro's BBQ Reaction Monday - Hour 1

19th October, 2025

Most leaders are wired to start things. But what if the most powerful thing you could do as a leader isn't to start something new — it's to stop something old?In this episode, Jon Chasteen unpacks The Power to Stop — a countercultural principle that every ReLeader eventually has to learn. Using Michelangelo's sculpture of David as a metaphor, Jon explores how greatness is often revealed not by what we add, but by what we remove. Just like a sculptor chips away what doesn't belong, effective leaders must learn to prune, pause, and say no — not out of weakness, but out of wisdom.Through Scripture and stories, Jon walks through four truths every ReLeader needs to understand:1️⃣ Pruning Isn't Punishment; It's Preparation — God cuts back fruitful branches so they can produce even more.2️⃣ Stopping Isn't Quitting; It's Trusting — Like Moses learning from Jethro, wise leaders know when to let go and share the load.3️⃣ Saying No Isn't Weakness; It's Wisdom — Boundaries create margin, and margin fuels mission.4️⃣ Less Isn't Loss; It's Leverage — Jesus wasn't afraid of smaller crowds because He knew focus multiplies fruit.

In this week's eerie episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat dives into the scandalous life of 17th-century Parisian fortune teller to the elite, La Voisin—witch, poisoner, and all-around dark delight. From secret rituals to deadly intrigues, La Voisin's tale is as twisted as the streets of old Paris themselves. Then, brace yourself as the story takes a chilling turn to Cheeseman Park, where secrets lurk beneath the earth… and corpses aren't just a metaphor. Jethro and Kat navigate the macabre mysteries, bizarre coincidences, and shocking revelations that make history stranger than fiction. Tune in if you dare—and maybe don't wander alone through the park tonight. LIVE SHOW TICKETS AND INFORMATION HERE! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Timeless Leadership Advice Exodus 18  October 12, 2025 Pastor Tony Felich   ----more---- Exodus 18:1 Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father-in-law, heard of all that God had done for Moses and for Israel his people, how the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt. [2] Now Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, had taken Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her home, [3] along with her two sons. The name of the one was Gershom (for he said, “I have been a sojourner in a foreign land”), [4] and the name of the other, Eliezer (for he said, “The God of my father was my help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh”). [5] Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to Moses in the wilderness where he was encamped at the mountain of God. [6] And when he sent word to Moses, “I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons with her,” [7] Moses went out to meet his father-in-law and bowed down and kissed him. And they asked each other of their welfare and went into the tent. [8] Then Moses told his father-in-law all that the LORD had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, all the hardship that had come upon them in the way, and how the LORD had delivered them. [9] And Jethro rejoiced for all the good that the LORD had done to Israel, in that he had delivered them out of the hand of the Egyptians. [10] Jethro said, “Blessed be the LORD, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of Pharaoh and has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians. [11] Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods, because in this affair they dealt arrogantly with the people.” [12] And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, brought a burnt offering and sacrifices to God; and Aaron came with all the elders of Israel to eat bread with Moses' father-in-law before God. [13] The next day Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood around Moses from morning till evening. [14] When Moses' father-in-law saw all that he was doing for the people, he said, “What is this that you are doing for the people? Why do you sit alone, and all the people stand around you from morning till evening?” [15] And Moses said to his father-in-law, “Because the people come to me to inquire of God; [16] when they have a dispute, they come to me and I decide between one person and another, and I make them know the statutes of God and his laws.” [17] Moses' father-in-law said to him, “What you are doing is not good. [18] You and the people with you will certainly wear yourselves out, for the thing is too heavy for you. You are not able to do it alone. [19] Now obey my voice; I will give you advice, and God be with you! You shall represent the people before God and bring their cases to God, [20] and you shall warn them about the statutes and the laws, and make them know the way in which they must walk and what they must do. [21] Moreover, look for able men from all the people, men who fear God, who are trustworthy and hate a bribe, and place such men over the people as chiefs of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens. [22] And let them judge the people at all times. Every great matter they shall bring to you, but any small matter they shall decide themselves. So it will be easier for you, and they will bear the burden with you. [23] If you do this, God will direct you, you will be able to endure, and all this people also will go to their place in peace.” [24] So Moses listened to the voice of his father-in-law and did all that he had said. [25] Moses chose able men out of all Israel and made them heads over the people, chiefs of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens. [26] And they judged the people at all times. Any hard case they brought to Moses, but any small matter they decided themselves. [27] Then Moses let his father-in-law depart, and he went away to his own country.      Effective spiritual leadership involves delegation and shared responsibility so that the work of God can be sustained and the people can flourish.           I.  A Wise Counselor (1-12)          II.  The Problem (13-18)         III.  The Solution (19-23)         IV.  The Result (24-27)

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Friday morning, the 10th of October, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to 1 Peter 5:7: ”Casting your care upon Him (Jesus) for He cares for you.” Why? Because we cannot carry it on our own. I'm talking to somebody who is very tired at the moment, who is very weary, heading up a large organisation, maybe a farming business or a merchandise business, or a position in an organisation that takes all of your time, and it is wearing you out. The Lord says, ”Stop it. I never meant it to be like that.” We cannot carry this responsibility completely on our own. “You've done well, you started well”, the Lord says. “You've built a huge organisation but now that same organisation is busy crushing you.”We see the illustration in Exodus 18, where Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses saw that Moses was literally wearing himself out, and the people. They were standing in large queues all day long for some help for answers to difficult situations. Jethro said, ”You must delegate to others.” I'm saying to you too madam. You cannot do it on your own. You have to get people to help you. Hand it over. You say, ”But they'll ruin it. My children will ruin it.” No they won't, you'll be surprised. How old were you when you started? Yes, you will have to pay school fees. That's how you learn. Did you not pay school fees? Did you not make mistakes? Of course you did. So did I, too many actually! Give your children a chance. Give that young aspiring executive a chance to take over. For the Mighty Men Conference in 2010, I had to make a very big decision when we had 450 thousand men on this farm, and the Lord clearly told me, through His word, ”It's time to hand over the baton.” I was very concerned, but I'm so pleased I did. There's over 20 Mighty Men Conferences happening all over the world as I talk to you, and I haven't been to one of them. Hand it over so that the Lord can develop it. If you keep it to yourself, it will crush you and the vision. Today, cast your cares and responsibilities onto the Lord, and He will develop them.Jesus bless you and goodbye.

Or: How to Dismantle a UFO Cult and Melt Your Hairbrush at the Same Time Before Kat and Jethro usher in a spooky new host-swap adventure for Paraween, they're here to crack open a box full of unhinged history and semi-combustible materials.

Despite both Jethro and Lindsay oversleeping, the boys put on their big-boy pants, guzzled some coffee, and jumped back into their audio saddles!  J.G. kicks things off with the story of a man who thought it smart to rob a bank. But what to wear while committing a felony? A question for the ages. Suffice to say, the gentleman made some unique choices that might have landed him a prize in a bad Drag Revue. (And he still got caught.) Then, Linds takes us to the town of Murray, Kentucky, where a local man nicknamed "Cowboy Cody” took it upon himself to show displeasure at being asked to leave a popular watering hole.  But why use a firearm when Mother Nature can provide so many other things to be used as a weapon? (Hint: it rhymes with “raccoon.”) Enjoy this week's dip in "The Shallow End!" Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Exodus 18:13-2713 The next day Moses took his seat to serve as judge for the people, and they stood around him from morning till evening. 14 When his father-in-law saw all that Moses was doing for the people, he said, “What is this you are doing for the people? Why do you alone sit as judge, while all these people stand around you from morning till evening?”15 Moses answered him, “Because the people come to me to seek God's will. 16 Whenever they have a dispute, it is brought to me, and I decide between the parties and inform them of God's decrees and instructions.”17 Moses' father-in-law replied, “What you are doing is not good. 18 You and these people who come to you will only wear yourselves out. The work is too heavy for you; you cannot handle it alone. 19 Listen now to me and I will give you some advice, and may God be with you. You must be the people's representative before God and bring their disputes to him. 20 Teach them his decrees and instructions, and show them the way they are to live and how they are to behave. 21 But select capable men from all the people—men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain—and appoint them as officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens. 22 Have them serve as judges for the people at all times, but have them bring every difficult case to you; the simple cases they can decide themselves. That will make your load lighter, because they will share it with you. 23 If you do this and God so commands, you will be able to stand the strain, and all these people will go home satisfied.”24 Moses listened to his father-in-law and did everything he said. 25 He chose capable men from all Israel and made them leaders of the people, officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens. 26 They served as judges for the people at all times. The difficult cases they brought to Moses, but the simple ones they decided themselves.27 Then Moses sent his father-in-law on his way, and Jethro returned to his own country.

Welcome to Paraween, presented by the ParaPods Network! This Halloween, Amanda's been host-snatched—spirited away to the And That's Why We Drink feed for some haunting hijinks. In her chair this week sits Jethro Gilligan Toth, co-host of Box of Oddities, joining Trevin for a truly bone-chilling petty crime deep dive. Together, they unravel the bizarre rise of the 12-foot Home Depot Skeleton — from its spooky origins and DIY folklore roots, to the crime wave of skeleton thefts that swept the suburbs. You'll hear about Skellynappers, HOA horror stories, out-of-season skeleton displays, and neighbors turned vigilantes. It's a tale of Halloween capitalism, petty vandalism, and the unbreakable spirit of spooky season. But between all the bones and bad behavior, Trevin and Jethro find something even stranger — friendship. From bragging about their wives to bonding over their shared fascination with death, the two discover they might just be soulmates from the same crypt. And stay tuned for a special treat: Trevin closes the episode with The Spirit Halloween Theme Song by comedian Nick Lutsko — because no Halloween story is complete without a musical séance.

In this episode of The Leader's Notebook, I continue my series Also Featured in the Cast by turning to the life of Moses. Moses is the central figure of Exodus—the lawgiver, the deliverer, the star of the story. Yet surrounding him are others whose faith, courage, and even failures shaped his journey: parents who hid him, a sister who watched over him, Pharaoh's daughter who rescued him, Jethro who advised him, and Pharaoh who resisted him. Their choices remind us that our lives are never lived in isolation. God uses the people around us—both allies and adversaries—to shape our destiny. My prayer is that you will recognize the cast members in your own story and trust God to use every one of them for His purposes. — Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - Leaders Notebook(00:02:51) - Dean Winters in John Wick: The Maimed Man(00:05:05) - 3 Things That Affect the Story of Moses(00:13:55) - Pharaoh's Daughter's Mercy for the Baby(00:21:54) - The Problem of God vs Pharaoh(00:26:51) - Aaron and Miriam(00:30:16) - You're the Star of Your Life

Exodus 18:1-121 Now Jethro, the priest of Midian and father-in-law of Moses, heard of everything God had done for Moses and for his people Israel, and how the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt.2 After Moses had sent away his wife Zipporah, his father-in-law Jethro received her 3 and her two sons. One son was named Gershom, for Moses said, “I have become a foreigner in a foreign land”; 4 and the other was named Eliezer, for he said, “My father's God was my helper; he saved me from the sword of Pharaoh.”5 Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, together with Moses' sons and wife, came to him in the wilderness, where he was camped near the mountain of God. 6 Jethro had sent word to him, “I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons.”7 So Moses went out to meet his father-in-law and bowed down and kissed him. They greeted each other and then went into the tent. 8 Moses told his father-in-law about everything the LORD had done to Pharaoh and the Egyptians for Israel's sake and about all the hardships they had met along the way and how the LORD had saved them.9 Jethro was delighted to hear about all the good things the LORD had done for Israel in rescuing them from the hand of the Egyptians. 10 He said, “Praise be to the LORD, who rescued you from the hand of the Egyptians and of Pharaoh, and who rescued the people from the hand of the Egyptians. 11 Now I know that the LORD is greater than all other gods, for he did this to those who had treated Israel arrogantly.” 12 Then Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, brought a burnt offering and other sacrifices to God, and Aaron came with all the elders of Israel to eat a meal with Moses' father-in-law in the presence of God.

Heather Toews shares in our series, Exodus. This week we look at Exodus 18 where Jethro visits Moses and gives him advice. We look at who we are in this story, and dig into how we can look more like Jesus with this in mind.

And they are off! Jethro and Matt head toward fame and glory for those things that never seemed worth fame and glory . . . Or did they? Tough to say. But science is cool!

Step right up, oddity enthusiasts! In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro unpack a carnival curiosity, an uncontacted tribe, and maybe—just maybe—aliens. First, meet Schlitzie the Pinhead, the sideshow legend whose life was stranger and more poignant than the posters ever revealed. Then, we sail (metaphorically, of course) to the forbidden shores of North Sentinel Island, home to the Sentinelese people—an isolated tribe whose fierce independence has baffled explorers for centuries. And finally, we peer into the cosmos to ask: are those weird signals really signs of extraterrestrial life, or just our toaster acting up again?

n this episode, Kat and Jethro sprint headfirst into the shadows—twice. First, they investigate the chilling legend of the Black Flash of Provincetown—a mysterious, caped figure that terrorized the streets of Cape Cod in the late 1930s. Was it a prankster in a leotard or a supernatural harbinger of doom? Why did it smell like ammonia and make jumps that defied Newtonian physics? And most importantly: who keeps giving cryptids Olympic-level track abilities? Then, they shift into far darker territory with the haunting story of Lonnie Franklin Jr., better known as the Grim Sleeper. For decades, he preyed upon the vulnerable and voiceless in Los Angeles, slipping under the radar due to chilling indifference and systemic failure. How did one of the most prolific serial killers in U.S. history go unnoticed for so long—and what finally led to his capture? From shadowy specters to real-life horrors, this episode explores the thin, fraying line between folklore and fear, myth and monster. Listen now—if you dare.
