Which version of you shows up when you pray?In this reflection on Psalm 55, John Ortberg explores a surprising truth about prayer: God doesn't want the cleaned-up, polished, "Disney version" of you. He wants the real you.The Psalms aren't theological essays or collections of perfectly polished emotions. They're raw prayers from real human beings bringing fear, anger, anguish, confusion, and desire honestly before God.John connects this idea to the original story of The Adventures of Pinocchio, which is much darker and more spiritually suggestive than the famous Disney adaptation. Pinocchio is lovingly created by his father, rebels against him, rejects his conscience, and longs for something he cannot accomplish on his own: to become real.And that's where Pinocchio's story intersects with ours.Transformation doesn't begin when we finally become the person we think God wants. It begins when the person we actually are becomes willing to stand honestly before Him.In this episode:Psalm 55 and honest prayerWhy every emotion in the Psalms isn't necessarily an instructionBringing our troubled thoughts before GodThe surprising theology of PinocchioConscience, rebellion, and the love of the FatherBiblical echoes of Jonah and the Prodigal SonMoving from a heart of stone to a heart of fleshWhy transformation begins with getting realScriptures:Psalm 552 Timothy 3:16–17Hosea 11:3Luke 15Jonah 1–2Matthew 12:38–40Ezekiel 36:26#Psalm55 #JohnOrtberg #Prayer #Psalms #Pinocchio #SpiritualFormation #ChristianFaith #BibleStudy #HonestPrayer #Transformation

It's a full-blown Friday free-for-all on The Rizzuto Show as the crew dives headfirst into a triple-threat episode of chaos.Clownvis joins the show and talks about his viral interview with Maynard James Keenan — yes, that Maynard — and how he managed to get one of rock's most notoriously difficult interviewees to actually loosen up and laugh. The crew dives into comedy as connection, crying at work (turns out, most of us have), and the fine art of breaking emotional seals via TV shows like Lost and movies like Big Fish. It's vulnerable. It's weirdly wholesome. It's still unhinged.The legendary Bean Boozled “Good or Gross” challenge returns, and it's every bit as traumatic as you remember. Stink bug vs. toasted marshmallow. Booger vs. juicy pear. Burnt rubber vs. licorice. Somehow, against all statistical logic, the callers go on an absolute heater — five straight “good” beans — while the studio debates swallowing rules, floor beans, and whether anyone might actually jump out a window over a stink bug flavor. Concert tickets are on the line, dignity is not.And because no Friday is complete without spiraling into nonsense, the show also tackles:The rising trend of solo dining and solo concertsWhy driving a van becomes attractive after 25Whether Lent sacrifices actually last more than 48 hoursWhy people are specifically giving up Wendy's BaconatorsHow often you're “supposed” to replace your underwear (spoiler: nobody is following that timeline)And whether someone in the room might secretly have a “moss butt” situation brewingFrom pasta with Maynard to Fruit of the Loom formalwear to lawn seats at Five Finger Death Punch, this episode is a beautiful blend of gross-out games, accidental life advice, and the kind of spiraling tangents that somehow only make sense on a Friday.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Should You Change Your Underwear In Every 6 Months?“Most unhinged glow-up”: Unsurprisingly, Americans are obsessed with Fruit of the Loom's sweatpant suitSolo dining surges 52% as Americans embrace 'Me-Me-Me Economy' over shared mealsNC mom of three who vanished 24 years ago reveals why she ditched familyHopkins County woman charged after allegedly using “movie money” to post bondMan, two girls injured after suspected lightning strikes during Perth stormTwo charged with murder of Australian grandfather after 'mistaken identity' kidnappingBlock lays off nearly half its staff because of AI.

Sonia Manzano knows you think of her as Maria on Sesame Street – and that's exactly the point. Growing up in the South Bronx in a household “ruled by domestic violence,” TV was Sonia's refuge as a child – but she never saw anyone who looked like her. Years later, when she landed the role of Maria on Sesame Street, Sonia made a choice. She wouldn't play a character; she would be herself – on purpose. For 44 years, she served as an authentic and beloved role model for millions of kids. More recently, she's created another iconic Latina heroine through the animated children's show Alma's Way — this one inspired by her childhood self. In this episode, Sonia reflects on growing up “at a time when Latin people were absolutely invisible,” the power of seeing yourself reflected in pop culture, and the music that accompanied her journey. Here are her songs. Numero 6 - Bobby Rodríguez y la Compañía Lamento Borincano - Rafael Hernandez When You Wish Upon A Star sung by Jiminy Cricket [aka Cliff Edwards] Please Mr. Postman - The Marvelettes I Wish I Knew How It Feels to Be Free - Nina Simone Bang! Bang! - Joe Cuba Sextet Sing - Joe Raposo, cast of Sesame Street

#10MinuteswithJesus ** Put yourself in the presence of God. Try talking to Him. ** 10 minutes are 10 minutes. Even if you can get distracted, reach the end. ** Be constant. The Holy Spirit acts "on low heat" and requires perseverance. 10-Minute audio to help you pray. Daily sparks to ignite prayer: a passage from the gospel, an idea, an anecdote and a priest who speaks with you and the Lord, inviting you to share your intimacy with God. Find your moment, consider you are in His presence and click play.

When you hear the word “hope”, what comes to mind? Biblical hope isn't a Jiminy Cricket, Wish Upon a Star type of hope. Biblical hope is a guarantee that what God says will come to pass, will indeed come to pass. Today Pastor Ricky will be expounding on the promises of God and how we can be assured of our salvation because our hope is placed in Jesus Christ. There are many things in this life that you can put your hope in but none of them, besides the Lord, will assuredly remain faithful until the end.
