Officially, the Imperial Intelligence Agency's Headquarters are in Cairn House, Charterhall. Unofficially, the Palace works mostly in the field. An operation targeting Blackthorne Park's own agents in the Dagger Isles has gone sour, leaving both parties in the dark and out some very valuable assets. There's a mole, and the Palace needs them found. Victor Shaw - called Crown by his peers - has set you a task. He can trust no one else. He knows it must be one of three people involved in the operation: Hester Prichard, the cynical handler whose judgment has never been in question even if now her loyalties are, Luca Baine, the spy whose intelligence has ensured the Palace's supremacy despite the best efforts of our rivals, and the assassin codenamed Thistle, whose protege Hyacinth died on the operation under mysterious circumstances. No player of the Game can be unaware that they are under suspicion, and the leak might be sprung from Duskwall at any moment. In seventy-two hours, Crown will have to make a decision. The wrong one could be disastrous. The right one could be disastrous. And if Blackthorn Park gets a hold of the mole before us, it will be very embarrassing indeed...   Support us at https://ko-fi.com/desperateattune and at https://www.patreon.com/DesperateAttune Follow us at https://bsky.app/profile/desperateattune.bsky.social Edited by Zoheb (Klow)  Featuring tree, salty, Aadiyat and Zoheb Blades '68 by John Harper and Evil Hat Productions Music is 'Jingle Bells Forever!!!' by Sri T N Krishnan Cover art by Fahim Anzoom Rumman (botagainsthumanity) 

I opened with a simple equation: we keep adding up lights, carols, sweaters, and “holiday spirit,” but we forget the other side of Christmas—the result. Luke 2 puts it plainly: “Fear not… good news… great joy… for all people.” That's the outcome. The cause—the other side of the equation—is a person: “Unto you is born… a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” When we give our attention to the result but ignore the source, we end up with short bursts of cheer and long shadows of fear. So I asked us to look squarely at our fears—financial, relational, health, and the biggest of all, death—and to let the angel's words do their work. We live on a steady diet of bad news, and our souls weren't built to carry the world's pain. The problem isn't just smartphones; it's what we feed on. English-speaking media often monetizes anxiety, turning ordinary worries into catastrophic identities. The result is the “worried well”—exhausted, medicated, self-diagnosed, and still empty. But the gospel gives a different diet: Fear not. Good news. Great joy. For all people. Why? Because Jesus is a Savior. Not a coach. Not a content creator. A Savior. Self-salvation never answers the question “what is enough?” Our hearts are wired to demand more (the old “covenant of works”), and even our best moments come up short. Oskar Schindler saved over a thousand lives and still felt the ache: “I could have saved one more.” That ache is exactly why we need Jesus. He saves us from sin and the sentence of death; He delivers what our discipline can't. And when death loses its power, fear loses its grip. John Harper on the Titanic shows that—he gave away his life jacket because he had a better Life already secured. Joy, then, isn't pretend happiness or a grin glued on hard days. Joy is a byproduct of being with Jesus and seeing His kingdom break in—sick healed, captives freed, good news landing on the “wrong” people. Walk with Him, practice gratitude, keep reading Luke, and joy will surprise you. And this gift is for all people. Scripture is full of flawed names—murderers, liars, runners, doubters—turned into sons and daughters. No one is “too bad” for Jesus; the only people He can't help are the ones who don't think they need saving. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.

"The Blueraker Project promises to unveil the secrets of the wild Blue, reveal the far reaches to the world, and truly establish Imperial superiority in these simmering times. Bluerakers One until Four have failed. There is no room for Five to follow its predecessors as the vultures circle: Blackthorn Park, the Charterhall Two, even our erstwhile allies the Anixis Field Unit. Extensive and exacting analysis from Brainwave-60, the Ministry of Discovery's experimental sparkmind, has revealed the involvement of an agent known only as Hart. Initial predictive algorithms suggest that trading patterns through the Three Queens have diverted important resources to wherever Hart's operation is headquartered on Red Queen Island. For your own reasons, be as they might, you have your objective: find Hart, end whatever they're doing to interfere in Blueraker, and enjoy the successful launch."   Support us at https://ko-fi.com/desperateattune and at https://www.patreon.com/DesperateAttune Follow us at https://bsky.app/profile/desperateattune.bsky.social Edited by Zoheb (Klow)  Featuring Holly, salty and Zoheb Blades '68 by John Harper and Evil Hat Productions Music is 'Broken Traces' by Elektrobear Cover art by Fahim Anzoom Rumman (botagainsthumanity)

Marilyn Boyer is a descendant of a Revolutionary War soldier and daughter of a World War II veteran. She is deeply patriotic and passionate about our Christian history. As the wife of an Air Force veteran, mother and home educator of 14 children, and grandmother of 31, Marilyn's dedication to family and country is unparalleled. She is an author. Earlier this year we spoke with her regarding her set of books, What a Character: Notable Lives from History. In that series she captures the remarkable stories of historical figures who shaped our nation. In the early 1980s, Marilyn and her husband were pioneers of the modern home education movement. Together, they founded The Learning Parent ministry and Character Concepts, authored dozens of books, and traveled extensively to speak at homeschool and Christian parenting conferences. Their mission is to encourage, inspire, and challenge parents who are training the next generation of Americans. She appeared on Crosstalk to discuss the Legends of Faith set including Early Church Fathers and Famous Preachers and Evangelists. Beginning with discussion on the book, Early Church Fathers, you'll learn a bit about Polycarp (Bishop of Smyrna and an apostle of John), Irenaeus (a disciple of Polycarp), William Tyndale (the Bible smuggler), English Puritan John Owen and Scottish minister John Knox. Discussion then moves to the book, Famous Preachers and Evangelists where you'll hear about Scottish/Baptist preacher John Harper (who witnessed to those perishing on the Titanic), George Mueller (the beloved father of orphans), Peter Cartwright and Francis Asbury.
