Fewer than half of American adults read a single book in 2022. Reading for pleasure has nearly halved in twenty years. Behind those numbers is a deeper story: What happens to a mind, and a democracy, when it loses the habit of sitting with a difficult idea for three hundred pages?In this episode, Reino traces the line from deep reading to deep thinking: how following a long argument builds the same muscle we need to resist slogans, hold nuance, and imagine lives unlike our own. He returns to a small town in rural KwaZulu-Natal, to a teacher named Andy Towert who could make a room fall silent with the toss of a leather bag, and to the books — King Solomon's Mines, The Pilgrimage, Anam Cara — that quietly redirected the course of his life.A reflection on reading, attention, and what a post-literate society stands to lose.#LivingToBe #LettersFromTheThreshold #WhyWeRead #DeepReading #Attention #Literacy #Empathy #Democracy #Pilgrimage #CaminoDeSantiago #ContemplativeLife #Bibliophile #SlowLiving #Storytelling⁠Subscribing to Letters from the Threshold⁠More Information:⁠⁠www.reinogevers.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://reinodiary.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Books:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sages, Saints and Sinners⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Deep Walking for Body Mind and Soul⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Walking on Edge: A pilgrimage to Santiago⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Text: 2 Samuel chapters 15-24; 1 Kings chapters 1-3; 1 Chronicles chapters 28-29 Supplemental Text: The Fourth Thousand Years chapters 7-8 BYU Lecture 31:  As David declines in life, his son Absalom conspires to kill David and take the throne, assisted by David's traitorous prime minister Ahithophel. The rebellion becomes so threatening that David abandons Jerusalem to save the city from the ravages of civil war. Eventually, David's army confronts the army of Absalom in the woods of Ephraim. David's battle-tested “600 mighty ones” took control of the fight and Absalom's army was devastated with over 20,000 killed. Absalom flees for his life through the forest and is caught by the gnarling branches of a tree, jerked from his racing mule and is left swinging helplessly in the air. David's commanding officer, Joab, finds and kills Absalom. David mourns over the loss of this rebellious son. David now prepares all things to strengthen Israel, fortifies the government, gathers material for the new temple, reorganizes the lessor Priesthood into quorums, and establishes temple choirs and orchestras. As King David weakens from old age, another son named Adonijah seeks the throne. The prophet Nathan, with the understanding that God named Solomon as David's heir, hastens to Bathsheba in hopes of convincing the ailing David of the crisis. Between the two, David was provoked and arose from his deathbed, calling for the prophet to anoint Solomon king of Israel. Hearing the trumpets and commotion of this great anointing, Adonijah and his supporters abandon their own feast of celebration and flee for their lives. For now, Solomon spares their lives. The great King David dies at the age of 70. King Solomon rules the kingdom in righteousness and humility. The Lord appears to him in a dream and grants him wisdom, riches, honor and long life – as long as Solomon remains faithful to the Lord. In great appreciation, Solomon offers sacrifice and begins the task of building a magnificent temple to the Lord.

Most of us want to live well. We want good relationships, peace in our decisions, and fewer regrets—but nobody really teaches us how to do that. That's where the book of Proverbs comes in. Proverbs isn't a story and it's not a list of religious rules. It's God's wisdom for real life. It talks about how we use our words, how we choose friends, how we handle money, anger, work, and temptation. Written mainly by King Solomon—one of the wisest people who ever lived—Proverbs was designed to train people, especially the young, in how life actually works. Proverbs shows us there are two paths we can walk: the way of wisdom or the way of foolishness. And the choices we make on those paths shape the lives we end up living. For the next 31 weeks we are going to study every chapter, every word and every truth that flows from the Book of Proverbs. There will be a few breaks through the next 31 weeks for stand alone messages, but by the end of 2026 our hope is that you walk in the ways of the wise and live well.

Vicki Joy Anderson, joins us to discuss her newest book, "From Eden to AI: How Fallen Angels and Ancient Idolatry are Ensnaring Humanity Through Modern Technology"Is all of the latest emerging tech truly new, or do we believe that there is truly nothing new under the sun, according to King Solomon in the book of Ecclesiastes? Join us in this important discussion for the days that we find ourselves living in...as in the days of Noah.

"But it's complicated." It's a sentence we've all said at one point or another, and it's usually as a counter to a solution that sounds like it HAS to be too simple for our situation. But just because a situation is difficult, doesn't mean it's actually complicated. What if God's blueprint for you to get through this season really is that simple?As we continue "Comeback Stories," Pastor Nic Smith joins us to study Ecclesiastes 12:10-14, as King Solomon reflects on all the highs and lows of his life before landing on a simple guide to life: "Fear God and keep his commandments."

This week Alphas Make Sandwiches goes big with a five-person crew, as Ashe in America, Christy Lupo, and Jackie Espada welcome guests Michelle from Tamarack Garden and Cristina (Mrs. Rise Attire) for a genuinely packed episode. Jackie debuts a new segment, Logging Into the Mainframe, teaching phone hacks your grandkids usually handle. Michelle delivers a heartfelt pep talk on taking risks, killing the crab pot mentality, and doing it messy. Professor Lupo traces the wild history of the word "bedlam" (plus a bonus word that would make George Washington proud). Then Cristina shares a delightfully unhinged puppet-professor theory linking emojis, King Solomon, the Sultanate of Oman, and 72 demonic seals, which promptly ruins emojis for everyone. Toss in cacao that keeps you up all night, sunburn cures, product updates from Tamarack Garden and Rise Attire, and a secret project reveal. It is warm, funny, spiritually curious, and a little bit chaotic. In a good way.

Ever look around and feel like the world is full of more foolishness than ever before? The truth is, we all have a version of that "No Ragrets" tattoo—a past decision, a word spoken in anger, or a habit we wish we could ink backwards.In this kickoff message for our summer series, Learning Curve, we dive deep into Proverbs 4 to discover why so much of our regret comes from a lack of wisdom diagnosed too late. King Solomon isn't just giving us information; he's giving us a roadmap to build a life free of preventable pain.Real wisdom isn't just about what you know—it's about seeing life the way God sees it and having the practical skill to live like it's true.In this video, you'll discover:The "Get" Factor: Why real wisdom requires a dogged, relentless pursuit (like a bird dog on the hunt!).Guard Your Heart: Why the cultural advice to "follow your heart" is dangerous, and how to protect the life-source of your decisions.The Ultimate Guide: How shifting from a proud heart to a "hearing heart" changes your entire trajectory.Ultimately, wisdom has a name, and His name is Jesus. If you are tired of playing dumb games and winning dumb prizes, it's time to pursue the one who can redeem every past regret and heal every foolish wound.

We're concluding the book of Ecclesiastes today which was written by King Solomon. Keep in mind that we are reading the Old Testament chronologically, and when we've finished this book, we'll be back in 2 Chronicles and 1 Kings, covering the rest of Solomon's life. As you may have already heard, two major themes of the book of Ecclesiastes are the ideas of futility and humility. Though Solomon had almost every resource at his fingertips, he could not do all the things he wanted and though he could find pleasure, he could not find ultimate fulfillment in the things of earth. In all his searching, he ultimately concludes that men should enjoy life, fear God and keep his commands. Ecclesiastes 8 - 1:03 .  Ecclesiastes 9 - 4:36 .  Ecclesiastes 10 - 9:44 .  Ecclesiastes 11 - 12:31 .  Ecclesiastes 12 - 14:17 .  Psalm 114 - 17:15 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

As we continue our chronological reading of the Old Testament, we're spending some time in the book of Ecclesiastes which was written by King Solomon. With all of his wealth, fame and wisdom, Solomon discerned that these things could not ultimately extend one's life or even necessarily make it better. No matter what a person may accomplish, one day he will die. In today's reading Solomon considers the rhythms of life, the nature of death and eternity, justice and injustice, authentic religion, and wealth. Our reading concludes with wise sayings in chapter 7, including proverbs, meditations on moderation, and the limitations of wisdom. Ecclesiastes 3 - 1:04 .  Ecclesiastes 4 - 4:32 .  Ecclesiastes 5 - 7:24 .  Ecclesiastes 6 - 12:21 .  Ecclesiastes 7 - 14:49 .  Psalm 113 - 19:41 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Today, we're going to be in four different books of the Old Testament, which makes this episode the record-holder in number of places. Don't worry, though: it's not any longer than the average episode. In 2 Chronicles and 1 Kings we'll cover Solomon's imposition of forced labor over non-Israelites and the initial institution of worship in the Lord's temple. From there, we'll transition to the book of Ecclesiastes, a wisdom book written by King Solomon. In it, the king tests the bounds of all that could be seen as valuable to men, and finds them all to be empty without God at the center. Finally, we'll read a short Psalm. 2 Chronicles 8 - 1:07 .  1 Kings 9 - 4:44 .  Ecclesiastes 1 - 10:47 .  Ecclesiastes 2 - 13:40 .  Psalm 112 - 19:19 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

This sermon reflects on the life and death of Terry Hart, using his passing to confront the universal fear and meaninglessness associated with mortality. It contrasts King Solomon's despair in Ecclesiastes with King David's confidence in Psalm 103 regarding God's enduring steadfast love. The preacher emphasizes that while earthly achievements are fleeting, eternal life through Jesus Christ offers a hope that transcends death and suffering. A personal account of visiting Terry in the hospital illustrates how God can remove distractions to reveal spiritual realities and comfort even those who may not have been religious. Ultimately, the message encourages believers to rest in the assurance that nothing can separate them from the love of God in Christ Jesus.

Today's reading contains the second-longest chapter in all of Scripture, which is 1 Kings chapter 8, and it's long for a great reason: King Solomon gets excited and is full of prayer and praise as he conducts the first worship gathering at the Lord's temple. Though the tabernacle existed before the temple, this is the first permanent structure built for the worship of God in a particular geographic location. As you can imagine, it's a pretty big deal. The party lasts for two full weeks, after which the Lord appears to Solomon a second time echoing both the blessings and curses he gave to Moses before him. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Why does your faith get weaker when your life gets better? Most of us have felt it and never said it out loud. When things fall apart, we cling to God. When things fall together, we quietly forget him. And nobody warns you about the second one.In this sermon, Pastor Josiah opens up one of the most sobering stories in the Bible, King Solomon, to teach us why starting strong is nothing like finishing faithful. Solomon started with everything you would want in a leader. God poured out wisdom on him. He built the temple. He led with peace and prosperity. Kings from other lands traveled just to hear him speak. And yet by the end of his life, the wisest man who ever lived was building shrines to false gods and drifting so far from God that the entire kingdom of Israel would split in two because of it.Pastor Josiah walks us through Deuteronomy 17:16 to 17, where God gave the future kings of Israel three specific warnings. Do not multiply horses. Do not multiply wives. Do not multiply silver and gold. Not because those things were evil, but because God knew they had the power to master the human heart. Solomon knew every one of these warnings. He wrote most of the book of Proverbs. And he violated all three (1 Kings 10 and 11).Pastor Josiah pulls three sobering truths from Solomon's story. First, God's boundaries are not restrictions of joy. They are guardrails for devotion, and whatever God puts a boundary around usually points to what has power to capture your heart. Second, a lack of fear of the Lord is the invitation for erosion. Solomon did not lack wisdom. He lacked submission to the wisdom he had. Third, starting strong is not the same as finishing faithful. Faithfulness is not proven by how you begin. It is revealed by whether you continue.And then the message lands where every Counterfeit Kings sermon lands. Solomon started strong but Jesus finished faithful. Solomon had wisdom, but Jesus is wisdom. Solomon's heart was divided, but Jesus stayed perfectly surrendered. He is the true and better Solomon, and our confidence is not in our ability to hold on to him but in his ability to hold on to us.Pastor Josiah's practical challenge is worth writing down. Name what is getting too big in your life. Let one or two trusted people question your drift. Return to daily surrender. What you keep feeding will eventually start leading, and the strongest guard is not what you build around your kingdom, but what you guard in your heart.If you have been quietly drifting through a comfortable season, this teaching is for you.

On Wednesday, July 1st 2026, Dylan Cottrill's message draws us into the sobering reflections of King Solomon in Ecclesiastes, where he looks back on a life of unprecedented wealth, wisdom, and worldly success only to declare it all meaningless—like chasing after the wind. We're confronted with a challenging truth: Solomon had everything the world could offer, yet he missed what mattered most. He built houses, planted vineyards, amassed wealth beyond measure, and denied himself no pleasure, but at the end of his days, he realized he had been chasing emptiness. The message uses a compelling illustration of unwrapping gift boxes—we climb over relationships, sacrifice prayer time, and bulldoze our spiritual foundations to reach what we think will satisfy us, only to find the box empty. Meanwhile, the gift God offers may not look as flashy, but it contains eternal treasures: joy in His presence, crowns of life for those who endure, and riches that moth and rust cannot destroy. We're reminded that our children are watching, learning from what we prioritize, and that we have a sacred responsibility to instill in them the truth that seeking first God's kingdom is the only pursuit that won't leave us empty-handed. The call is urgent: stop waiting until the sunset of our lives to learn what Solomon learned too late.

We finished Song of Songs in our last episode which means we are back into the narrative of King Solomon. As always, the Lord God makes good on His promises, and Solomon flourishes under the Lord's lavish provision. Blessed with peace on every side and abundant wealth, Solomon sets His mind on things above and gets to work. Knowing that the Lord had promised David a son who would come from his family and would establish God's house forever, Solomon builds a center of worship for God that reflects the plans for the original tabernacle. In work, wealth, and worship, Solomon is a foreshadow of the Son of David who would establish a greater kingdom where God is worshipped by the nations and the people dwell with Him in peace. 2 Chronicles 2 - 1:05 .  1 Kings 5 - 5:39 .  1 Kings 6 - 9:42 .  Psalm 108 - 16:17 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Today's Promise: 1 Kings 8:56 Have you ever looked back over your life and realized that God was faithful even when you couldn't see what He was doing? In today's episode, we explore a powerful promise from 1 Kings 8:56, where King Solomon declares, "Not one word has failed of all His good promise." Those words still ring true today.   As we reflect on God's work in our own lives, we discover that He has been guiding, protecting, and providing all along. There may have been seasons of uncertainty, disappointment, or waiting, but God has never abandoned His Word. Every promise He makes is trustworthy because He is the promise-keeping God.   Join me as we remember His faithfulness, strengthen our confidence for the days ahead, and learn how reviewing God's past provision can build greater faith for today's challenges. The God who has been faithful before will be faithful again. Not one of His promises has ever failed, and neither will the promises He has made to you.

The Song of Solomon celebrates romance as something good, joyful, and God-given. This book is about King Solomon and his peasant girlfriend who eventually became his bride. It flows through all the typical phases of a relationship. You're going to see this couple go from attraction to what we would call dating, to courting, to the wedding, to the honeymoon, to a fight because that's how life is. They fight after the verse on the honeymoon! They make up and then at the end, once they get past all the conflict, they go to a deepening of the relationship.

Most of us want to live well. We want good relationships, peace in our decisions, and fewer regrets—but nobody really teaches us how to do that. That's where the book of Proverbs comes in. Proverbs isn't a story and it's not a list of religious rules. It's God's wisdom for real life. It talks about how we use our words, how we choose friends, how we handle money, anger, work, and temptation. Written mainly by King Solomon—one of the wisest people who ever lived—Proverbs was designed to train people, especially the young, in how life actually works. Proverbs shows us there are two paths we can walk: the way of wisdom or the way of foolishness. And the choices we make on those paths shape the lives we end up living. For the next 31 weeks we are going to study every chapter, every word and every truth that flows from the Book of Proverbs. There will be a few breaks through the next 31 weeks for stand alone messages, but by the end of 2026 our hope is that you walk in the ways of the wise and live well.

Solomon's Sword and Crazy Plans by Autumn Dickson This week, we get to learn a bit about Solomon's reign. Solomon was known for his wisdom, a spiritual gift that was the direct result of a request he made as he was ascending the throne. The story of the two women and the baby is well-known and highlights this wisdom. In the last post, we talked about how the Lord reflected Solomon's heart back to him when the Lord offered to answer a prayer for Solomon. This week, we get to read about Solomon imitating the Lord in the story with the two women. Here is a refresher on the story with the two women and the baby. Two women lived in the same home. They both had babies. One woman accidentally laid on top of her child and killed the child. She snuck into the room of the other woman and switched the babies. The second woman woke up to the dead child and realized he wasn't hers. They took their case to King Solomon. This is how King Solomon responded. 1 Kings 3:24-25 24 And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king. 25 And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other. The lying woman wanted the child cut in half. The true mother offered to let the other woman have the son; she just wanted him to be alive. Solomon obviously gave the baby to the woman who wanted to protect the baby at all costs. Now, I want you to imagine being the true mother of the child who found herself in this nightmare through no fault of her own. I don't know exactly what she was feeling, but I think my response to this wild suggestion from the king would be this: “What?! I thought this guy was wise! Why would he do this? Is he crazy?” I think this is sometimes how we react when the Lord makes decisions in our lives as well. Sometimes the Lord sends or allows trials to happen in our lives. Sometimes we respond with, “What?! I thought the Lord was wise! Why would He do this?” Throughout my life, and especially while working through sharing my testimony online, I have received this testimony over and over and over: The Lord loves me and works very carefully as He makes decisions to interfere in my life. He is wise! He knows what He's doing! I know this testimony. I believe it. I find a lot of comfort in it. And yet, even though I already had a testimony of this fact, I've found that there were limits to this testimony that needed to be expanded. When certain events have cropped up in my life, such as getting pregnant three months after having a baby, I have tried to trust in that growing testimony that the Lord loves me and is trying to give me the best of what mortality actually has to offer. Despite my desire to trust that He was trying to do what was best for me, I simply felt scared and betrayed and powerless. I'm sure that woman was terrified when Solomon made the crazy suggestion to cut the baby in half. He was a king, and she was a harlot. I'm sure she knew what it meant to feel powerless and to have someone making decisions regardless of what was best for her. And yet, Solomon wasn't trying to torture her. He had very specific purposes. He was not rash or ridiculous. He was intentional. He was a mortal man blessed with wisdom to discern what was going on in his kingdom. He “sent a trial,” and it revealed the hearts of the women he was judging. The Lord already knows our hearts, but He still sends little tests in mortality. I'm becoming increasingly convinced that He isn't testing our hearts for His own sake, but for our's. We spoke about this in my last post as well: He reflects our own hearts back to us. Solomon actually needed to see the reflection of the hearts of the women so he could judge well. He was wise, but he did not know these women perfectly. He needed a way of seeing their hearts. The Lord's purposes are slightly different, but His methods are similar. His purpose is showing us our own hearts. Sometimes that means sending or allowing trials that allow the deepest parts of our heart to go on display. It highlights the boundaries of what we truly know and feel and desire. It gives us opportunities to expand those boundaries. Going back to my example of getting pregnant so quickly, I felt incredibly betrayed by God. I am so miserable when I'm pregnant, and now I was going to be in that dark state of mind for 18 months with very little reprieve (honestly, with no reprieve since my body and mind still hadn't completely recovered in between babies). I thought I had a testimony that the Lord loved me, and I did. But apparently there were limits to that testimony. This specific experience showed me the boundaries of my own testimony. It brought my heart right up to the surface where I could look at it very clearly. I then had the opportunity to work through those experiences and expand those boundaries. Despite the fact that this woman likely thought King Solomon was out of his mind, I would guess that she felt differently after the experience. Despite the initial fear and distress it caused her, she gained a testimony that Solomon acted with purpose. By the end of this, she knew that Solomon wasn't crazy. He was trying to be a good king and make sure that baby went back to its rightful mother. Surely, the experiment could have gone poorly. What if both mothers had pled for the life of the baby? Yes, it could have failed, but this story is a parable. Even if Solomon's experiments fail, the Lord's “experiments” never have to. Solomon was a mortal man. The Lord has much more to offer in the way of helping us discern the boundaries of the testimonies that will carry us and help us get where we need to go. The Lord also has the ultimate power of delivering what will be best for us. Even when He sends or allows dark times, He has the power to help those difficult times become sacred experiences. I testify that the Lord loves us. I testify He knows what He's doing. I testify that He already knows our hearts, but like Solomon, He sends and allows trials that bring our very essence up to the surface where it's noticeable. We get to find the holes and limitations of our testimonies, and in turn, we can fill the holes and broaden the boundaries until we are fully protected and constantly uplifted by them.

In our last episode, Solomon's brother Adonijah tried to take the throne while David was on his death bed. His plan failed, and Solomon successfully ascended to the throne. During the attempted coup, Adonijah recruited Abiathar the priest and Joab, David's former commander. Since then, Adonijah has been executed, Abiathar has been banished, and today. Joab will be executed. Later, the Lord appears to King Solomon in a dream, and instead of asking for wealth or long life, he asks the Lord for wisdom to lead God's people. This pleases the Lord, who promises blessing upon Solomon's reign, including both wisdom and wealth. 1 Kings 2:28 - 1:08 .  1 Kings 3 - 5:16 .  1 Kings 4 - 11:37 .  2 Chronicles 1 - 16:55 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Episode Title: Filthy Fridays: Darrell Sheets Brother Mike tackles the painful, spreading reality of clinical depression and online cyberbullying. Broadcasting from Phoenix, Arizona, during his 25th silver anniversary year on the radio, he reflects on the recent, tragic passing of Arizona native and Storage Wars star Darrell Sheets. Using biblical history alongside modern statistics, Brother Mike analyzes the devastating weight of depression—reminding listeners that even iconic scriptural figures struggled profoundly with their mental health. Ultimately, this episode serves as a heavy but compassionate call to action: moving away from pointing fingers and toward offering prayer, direct deliverance, and free professional counseling for anyone currently being pushed to the brink. Key Takeaways The Weight of Clinical Depression: Mental health struggles are a critical illness, not a joke. Biblical giants like Job, King David, Elijah, and King Solomon all endured seasons of deep emotional suffering and depression. The Destruction of Cyberbullying: Online harassment and stalking have a devastating physical and emotional toll. Statistically, bullied individuals face drastically higher risks of suicidal ideation, making it a critical issue across the nation. A Call to Compassion, Not Condemnation: True biblical ministry mimics Christ by refusing to stand around pointing fingers or casting judgment on marginalized groups, outcasts, or those trapped in sin. Instead, the mandate is to pray, actively seek their healing, and introduce them to salvation. Scripture References Highlighted Mark 10:22 – Reassessing the Rich Young Ruler's reaction to Christ, focusing on his severe emotional depression (stugnazo) and downcast soul (lupeo). 2 Peter 3:9 & 1 Timothy 2:4 – Reaffirming that God’s heart is to see every individual, without exception, delivered and brought safely to the knowledge of the truth.

Today we talk a little bit about the man King Solomon was.

In this message from Luke 12:15–21,Pastor Darius Bishop unpacks Jesus' parable of the rich fool and asks, “When will more be enough?” Warning against all kinds of greed, he notes that greed thrives when generosity doesn't and reminds listeners that we are stewards of everything and owners of nothing. He argues that more possessions often create more problems and false security, while more of Jesus brings joy and prepares us for eternity. Using examples like King Solomon's words in Ecclesiastes 5:10, the impossibility of taking anything with us after death, and Judas trading Jesus for 30 pieces of silver, he urges listeners not to miss the Blesser while pursuing blessings.

Centuries before Hollywood dressed it in a nun's habit, the demon Valak prowled the pages of forbidden grimoires as a winged boy astride a two-headed dragon, commanding legions of serpents to do his bidding.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources):https://weirddarkness.com/valekREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/24s8nzb9FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Although Valak is depicted in the films "The Nun" and in “The Conjuring 2” as a habit-wearing spirit, the real demon appears as a child riding a two-headed dragon — at least according to a 17th-century demon-hunting manual. (The Reality Behind The Demon, Valak) *** The Vatican is one of the most well-guarded areas in the world. But if rumors are to be believed, all that security isn't only to protect the pontiff… but some dark, disturbing secrets… and a machine that could change everything we know to be true. (The Vatican's Secret Machine) *** We'll look at that time a force field was accidentally created at a 3M plant. (3M's Accidental Force Field) *** In 1872 George Wheeler met and married May Tillson in Boston. He made a home for May and her younger sister Della, first in New York, then in California. Along the way, George fell in love with young Della and when she planned to marry someone else he was faced with a dilemma: he could not marry her himself and he could not bear to see her wed to another. The solution he chose pleased no one. (Thus She Passed Away) *** In the 1800s scientists and doctors needed cadavers to study human anatomy and practice their skills. To help accommodate the need, it was made legal to sell dead bodies. What could possibly go wrong?

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: December, 2021This episode of Weird Darkness moves from a centuries-old demon mistaken for a nun, through the Victorian trade in stolen corpses and a force field that appeared inside a 1980 factory, to a San Francisco trunk murder and a Catholic priest who claimed to have built a machine that could film the past.It opens with the demon Valak, who reaches modern audiences through The Nun and The Conjuring 2 as a pale, nun-robed figure but appears in the 17th-century grimoire Clavicula Salomonis Regis, or The Key of Solomon, as the 62nd spirit: a boy with angel's wings riding a two-headed dragon, commanding a legion of serpents and an army of thirty demons while hunting snakes and hidden treasure. The nun costume was the invention of director James Wan, who reshaped a vision the medium Lorraine Warren described to him — a swirling hooded figure carrying female energy — into a holy icon turned against her Catholic faith. Warren and her husband Ed, the demonologists who rose to fame after the 1976 Amityville investigation, reportedly met a spectral hooded figure at the Borley church in southern England, where lore held that a nun had been bricked alive in the convent walls after an affair with a monk. The Key of Solomon, which lists the seventy-two demons King Solomon was said to have vanquished, sat on the Vatican's Index librorum prohibitorum until the Church abandoned that list of prohibited books in 1966, though copies kept turning up in the hands of Catholic priests.From there the episode turns to the Anatomy Act of 1832, the British law that legalized dissecting unclaimed bodies from workhouses and hospitals to end the grave-robbing of the resurrectionists, yet instead built an organized corpse trade across Victorian England. The twelfth-century St. Bartholomew's left wicker baskets beneath its King Henry VIII gate for body dealers to fill, while a Liverpool Street express known as the "dead train" carried sealed funeral wagons of stacked corpses toward Cambridge. Deepening the trade, the New Poor Law of 1834 confined the destitute to workhouses whose officials profited from selling the dead, and in 1858 the master of St. Mary Newington workhouse, Alfred Feist, was caught funneling pauper bodies to Guy's Hospital through the undertaker Robert Hogg, who staged fake funerals and collected double payment. Anatomists prized the bodies of fetuses and children, keeping their skulls intact — only one of fifty-four specimens in a Cambridge collection had received a craniotomy — and the public's dread boiled over in Manchester in 1832, when a grandfather opened the coffin of a three-year-old who had died at the Swan Street Cholera Hospital and found a brick where the boy's head should have been.Next comes a stranger kind of dread, set in the summer of 1980 at a 3M plant in South Carolina, where workers slitting twenty-foot-wide polypropylene film at a thousand feet per minute walked into an invisible wall they could not push through. The static-charged field, which one worker measured past the limit of a 200-kilovolt handheld electrometer, pulled people toward it so strongly they had to back away on foot, swallowed a passing fly, and by one account could have held a bird in its grip before vanishing as abruptly as it formed. Managers reproduced the effect the next morning under lower humidity, and the plant production manager reportedly said he didn't know whether to fix it or sell tickets; later accounts claim a researcher who published on the phenomenon was contacted by NASA and federal agencies before the grounding fault was corrected and the field never returned.The episode then moves to a true-crime case in San Francisco, where around midnight on October 20, 1880, George A. Wheeler walked into a police station and confessed to strangling his sister-in-law Della Tillson and packing her body into a trunk in their room at 23 Kearney Street. Wheeler had fathered two children with Della, both of whom died, while her sister — his deaf wife, May — lived across the hall posing as his sister-in-law, and the arrival of the miner George Peckham, who hoped to marry Della and take her to Sacramento, drove Wheeler to kill rather than let the two leave together. He told reporters that Della sat in his lap and asked him to end her life, that she died with her head on his shoulder, and his defense of hereditary insanity failed across two trials, the second forced by a California Supreme Court ruling over improperly admitted testimony from a book on medical jurisprudence. On January 23, 1884, five thousand people gathered outside the jail, entrance tickets sold for ten dollars apiece, and Wheeler — newly drawn toward Catholic conversion under Father Cottle — kissed a crucifix, commended his spirit, and dropped to a broken neck.The episode closes inside the Vatican with Father Pellegrino Ernetti, an Italian priest, exorcist, and musical scholar who claimed in the 1950s to have helped build a device called the Chronovisor that could see and hear the past. Ernetti said a team of twelve anonymous scientists, among them the physicist Enrico Fermi and the rocket engineer Wernher von Braun, tuned the machine to a speech by Mussolini, then Napoleon, a Roman market under Emperor Trajan, a Cicero oration, and a 169 B.C. performance of Quintus Ennius's lost tragedy Thyestes, which he said let him publish its full text. When the magazine La Domenica del Corriere printed a Chronovisor image of Christ's face on the cross on May 2, 1972, it was soon matched to a mirrored photograph of a wood carving by the sculptor Cullot Valera, and Ernetti — who said the machine was too dangerous to exist and had been dismantled and hidden — left behind no device, no named living witnesses, and a 1993 presentation to four cardinals whose contents were never disclosed.

We want to hear from you! Send us some Fan mail! This week on Go & Do, Candis Shupe follows the dramatic transition from King David to King Solomon, a story filled with agency, spiritual gifts, temple worship, and a powerful reminder that how we finish matters just as much as how we start.In this episode, you'll learn: 

Set Apart - Pt 1 - The Rise and Fall - No one in history had more advantages, wealth, or wisdom handed to them than King Solomon. For a long time, he made the absolute most of everything he was given—until he didn't. In Part 1 of this series, we dive deep into 1 Kings chapters 10 and 11 to unpack the tragic turning point in Solomon's life. His story serves as a powerful, sobering cautionary tale for all of us: following God isn't about how strong you start, but how faithfully you finish. We'll discuss why true obedience cannot just be a passing season of life, but a lifelong devotion.

Most of us want to live well. We want good relationships, peace in our decisions, and fewer regrets—but nobody really teaches us how to do that. That's where the book of Proverbs comes in. Proverbs isn't a story and it's not a list of religious rules. It's God's wisdom for real life. It talks about how we use our words, how we choose friends, how we handle money, anger, work, and temptation. Written mainly by King Solomon—one of the wisest people who ever lived—Proverbs was designed to train people, especially the young, in how life actually works. Proverbs shows us there are two paths we can walk: the way of wisdom or the way of foolishness. And the choices we make on those paths shape the lives we end up living. For the next 31 weeks we are going to study every chapter, every word and every truth that flows from the Book of Proverbs. There will be a few breaks through the next 31 weeks for stand alone messages, but by the end of 2026 our hope is that you walk in the ways of the wise and live well.

People love the idea of a big calling until they feel the weight of it. King Solomon stepped into the largest stewardship of his life as a young man and felt completely unqualified for the throne. What he did next unlocked unmatched wisdom, wealth, and favor. Kap Chatfield breaks down the four biblical keys hidden in 1 Kings 3 that every believer needs to steward their next divine assignment without burning out.

A whole lotta me, and I'm going to do what I always do which is to entertain you with the stupid idiocy of the Left.Elon Musk…richest man in the world.He's approaching King Solomon's wealth. The Bible states Solomon received 666 talents of gold per year (roughly 25 tons). At current gold prices, this equates to $1–1.6 billion annually in gold alone (older estimates used lower prices like $240 million–$1.1 billion). biblestudy.org Reign length: Over 40 years, plus additional revenues from trade (e.g., ships returning every three years with gold, ivory, etc.), tributes from vassal states, taxes from districts, and gifts (like from the Queen of Sheba). Total wealth: Factoring in accumulated reserves, control of trade routes, vast building projects (Temple and palace), and the kingdom's overall economy, sources converge on ~$2.1–2.2 trillion as a common figure. Some range it to $2–3 trillion. vocal.mediaAnother segment where I show you Leftism at work, which means it fails. That was a trick.

By Peter Eddington - Because of King Solomon's sins, God split the nation of Israel into two parts—north and south. Only Judah remained in Jerusalem as the Southern Kingdom. The other tribes became the Northern Kingdom. However, this punishment was not to be forever. God desires for Israel to be united once again—for

Now that King Solomon has died, the prophecies of God spoken through his prophet Ahijah have come to fruition. In our last episode, Ahijah tore a new robe into 12 pieces and gave 10 pieces to Jeroboam, symbolizing the number of tribes he would rule over. Remember that Solomon's son Rehoboam insults Jeroboam, who formerly worked under Solomon as a supervisor over forced labor. After Jeroboam led a revolt, he became king over those 10 tribes. Despite the Lord's kindness to Jeroboam, he also turned away from God and immediately set up two sanctuaries, each with a golden calf. Today, God's wrath and impending destruction are announced by an unnamed prophet. 1 Kings 13 – 1:09 .  1 Kings 14 – 9:06 .  1 Kings 15 – 16:06 .  Psalm 91 – 22:20 . :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

In this Bible Story, we behold the vast wisdom of the Philosopher King Solomon. However, Solomon had a weakness for women. He amasses a harem of hundreds of wives and concubines from other nations. Eventually, he began to worship foreign gods. This story is inspired by 1 Kings 10-11:25, 42-43 & 2 Chronicles 9.

One such visitor was the queen of Sheba, who came from far away with questions and a caravan of gifts. When she arrived and after she had left, she was amazed at the kindness, wealth, and wisdom of King Solomon. But all of Solomon's wisdom could not keep him from the sin developing in his heart. Because of this, Solomon would lose the united kingdom of Israel that God had placed under him.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

Today's reading contains the second-longest chapter in all of Scripture, which is 1 Kings chapter 8, and it's long for a great reason: King Solomon gets excited and is full of prayer and praise as he conducts the first worship gathering at the Lord's temple. Though the tabernacle existed before the temple, this is the first permanent structure built for the worship of God in a particular geographic location. As you can imagine, it's a pretty big deal. The party lasts for two full weeks, after which the Lord appears to Solomon a second time echoing both the blessings and curses he gave to Moses before him. 1 Kings 7 - 1:05 .  1 Kings 8 - 10:13 .  1 Kings 9 - 24:08 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

In Part 2 of their deep dive, Jorge, Eric, and Sean break down the most compelling theories about where the world's most powerful relic actually ended up.The guys go inside Ethiopia's extraordinary claim — where 45 million Orthodox Christians believe the Ark sits inside a tiny, heavily guarded chapel in Axum, protected by a single monk who takes its secrets to his grave. They unpack the Kebra Nagast, the tale of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, and why the most fully developed theory in history might also be the most flawed.Then they dig into the Copper Scroll — an actual treasure map discovered in the Dead Sea caves listing 64 hidden locations and billions of dollars in sacred relics. Could the Ark be buried somewhere in the Judaean wilderness? Is it still hidden beneath the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, right under the Dome of the Rock? Or did the Babylonians simply melt it down for gold centuries ago?The episode also covers the Nazi occult — the real Himmler, the real Ahnenerbe, and why the most militarized regime in modern history sent government-funded expeditions to track down a biblical artifact. Spoiler: they didn't find it either.By the end, Jorge, Eric, and Sean land on where they think the Ark actually is — and the answer is both the simplest and most deflating theory of all.Topics covered:The Ethiopian claim and the Chapel of the Tablet in AxumThe Kebra Nagast, King Solomon, and Menelik IGraham Hancock's The Sign and the Seal and the Elephantine theoryThe Book of 2 Maccabees and the Mount Nebo caveThe Copper Scroll and the Dead Sea treasure mapThe Temple Mount theory — still buried in Jerusalem?Himmler, the SS Ahnenerbe, and the Nazi hunt for the occultDid the Ark ever have real powers — or was it just a very important box?Haven't listened to Part 1 yet?

With King David on his death bed, the royal family knows that the time to transfer power is drawing near. David's oldest son, Adonijah, gains support for himself from well-known leaders like Joab and Abiathar, calling Judah together for a feast to celebrate his bid for kingship. Nathan the prophet catches word, and teams up with Bathsheba to alert the king. Later, the Lord appears to King Solomon in a dream, and instead of asking for wealth or long life, he asks the Lord for wisdom to lead God's people. This pleases the Lord, who promises blessing upon Solomon's reign. 1 Kings 1 - 1:15 .  1 Kings 2 - 12:49 .  1 Kings 3 - 23:28 .  Psalm 87 - 29:00 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org
