Worldbuilding. It's one of the most talked about aspects of running TTRPGs, as it is the sandbox into which you will throw your party to adventure in. We've talked about tips and tricks in past episodes and articles, and have come down on both sides of the debate surrounding how much to do with a focus totally on your specific table and party.However, in this episode, Tony, Chris, and Dave have decided to become a bit more involved with a new experiment that we cooked up.Something that has never been done on 3WD before – we're going to start building a new world live! In real time, we begin asking the questions that will shape our new creation. As this is a show by DMs for DMs, we're adding another aspect. YOU! We're asking you to share in the brainstorm and offer ideas. So, tune in now as 3WD starts building a whole new world!1:40 Introduction of our new experiment.

Nathan Busenitz • Mark 6:7–6:30 • Sermon Notes (Video)
This message focused on the significance of biblical prophecy in revealing God's plan for the world, with special attention to Daniel, Ezekiel, and Israel's history. We explored how ancient kingdoms rose and fell through human ambition, yet God's purposes remain sovereign. The discussions highlighted Israel's promises, failures, and forsaken relationship with God, while contrasting the Church's position in Christ. Themes of idolatry, submission, and spiritual separation from the world were emphasized, along with the reminder that Christ's return will conclude the “times of the Gentiles.” The conversation underscored the need for faith, humility, and reliance on God's grace rather than human effort.Themes:Prophecy as God's revelation of His plan (Daniel, Ezekiel, Revelation)Earthly kingdoms built on ambition and chaos vs. God's sovereignty (Genesis 11; Assyria, Egypt, Babylon)Israel's promises vs. the Church's position in Christ (Hosea 1:9–11; Romans 7)Israel's forsaken relationship due to failure of leaders and peopleGod's patience, long-suffering, and call to repentanceDangers of idolatry and backsliding, importance of godly sorrow (Exodus; 1 John 2:15–17)The law exposing sin but not producing righteousnessSpiritual separation from the world and living in submission to GodGod's communication with individuals during times of darknessThe “times of the Gentiles” and Christ's imminent returnScripture References:Daniel; Ezekiel; Hosea 1:9–11; Genesis 11; Romans 7; Revelation; 1 John 2:15–17; Exodus
Matthew 2:1-18 | Luke Peterson
If you've ever heard Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, you know it sounds like music going to war. It begins hushed, almost like a prayer whispered through the strings. But even in the softness there's unease, like the air before a storm, as if the music itself knows that conflict is coming. And then the…
You ever feel like the world's going down the drain, and no one cares... and you thought God cared, but He doesn't appear to either? Enter into the Northern Kingdom if Israel where powers and principalities ruled it, but one man rises up to face the tide of the culture with truth: it is indeed Yahweh who brings the rains, not Baal.

What do we do when we've reached the end of ourselves? Find out in this message from Pastor Daniel!
We continue our two-part conversation with Dr. Ross Cordy, Pacific Island Hawaiian-Pacific studies at University of Hawai‘i West O‘ahu. Trained as both an archaeologist and ethnohistorian, Dr. Cordy's specialty is reconstructing the history of Hawai‘i as told from multiple data sources. In the second half of our discussion, we consider settlement patterns across the Hawaiian archipelago, as well as the rise of countries and kingdoms within the islands themselves. We also talk about the significance of cultural jewels like Wai‘anae and Kukaniloko on O‘ahu and the histories of places in Micronesia.
This week's episode is a wild ride through Daniel chapter 2—and boy, does it get exciting! King Nebuchadnezzar has a nightmare so scary it makes him furious. He demands that his wisest helpers tell him not only what his dream means, but also what the dream was! Yikes. Nobody could do that—except for one person God had prepared… Daniel!
In this episode, we confront the reality of spiritual warfare—how the enemy uses deception, accusation, and temptation to gain footholds in our lives.From persistent sin to generational strongholds, we explore biblical signs of demonic influence and share a powerful testimony of healing and deliverance.Most importantly, you'll learn how to walk in true freedom through repentance, renouncing lies, and being filled with the Holy Spirit. Jesus didn't just save you—He came to set you free.Support the show
A Kingdom Divided | 'Kings and Kingdoms' Week 6
Daniel 8 paints a vivid picture of the ram and the goat — symbols of kingdoms and powers that rise and fall. These ancient visions don't just belong to history; they point ahead to events that echo through our world right now. As nations realign and global systems tighten their grip, the warnings in Daniel begin to sound more and more like headlines we see today. From the rise of powerful leaders to the foreshadowing of the Antichrist, these prophecies remind us that the stage is being set for what Scripture has already revealed. The message carries us straight into the heart of end times prophecy, weaving Daniel's vision together with Revelation 13, 2 Thessalonians 2, and Matthew 24. Signs of the rapture, the rise of a global system, and the call to remain watchful and faithful are all there. It's a wake-up call that what was written thousands of years ago is coming alive in our generation — and it points us to the urgency of clinging to faith as we await the return of Christ. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kings and Kingdoms Pt. 12: What is Life? | Reyes y Reinos Pt. 12: Que es Vida? | Franchy Tavares
In the final message in this series on Ephesians, Tim looks at 6:10-24. Understanding the nature of the battle is the critical foundation for taking ground and establishing Kingdom territory. Understanding the “powers” empowers us with the knowledge of how the enemy keeps cities and nations in captivity, and has massive implications for how we go about discipling cities and nations. Understanding the armour of God makes us like teflon to the powers - anything they try can't stick to us. The call is for us to be an awakened and alert army that displaces the forces of the enemy in the second heaven and ultimately sees their dominion brought down, leading to the kingdoms of this world becoming the Kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ.
Paul Axton preaches: The kingdom of Christ, the church, is the all encompassing work of Christ in defeating evil, and the kingdoms of this world, so as to be all in all and to reign over all.

In this episode we consider the stories of Jonathan and Simon, finishing our study of 1 Maccabees (1 Maccabees 9:24-16:24), and then turn to the stories of martyrdom in 2 Maccabees 7. Our readings are clarified by passages from the Old Testament (1 Kings/3 Kingdoms 5:4, Micah 4:4, Zechariah 8:4, and Ezekiel 34:27) as well as from the New Testament (Hebrews 12; Romans 4:17). Intertwined narratives of war and peace on the grand scale, and personal martyrdom with the hope of resurrection, offer encouragement to us to remain faithful in our own day.

Set your phone company right, because we are back for our seventh season of new/old Wie is de Mol episodes - and we're going all the way back to 2009's offering in Northern Ireland & Jordan! Over these nine weeks, three guys who know the best way to experience Ireland - Logan, Michael & Bindles - are recapping and looking back at all that happened on a titanic season that people have been asking us to do for years, continuing with the fifth episode and elimination of Froukje. In this episode - we wonder where the "Paula was competent" narrative came from, someone becomes the Natalia, Bindles gives us some weird logic, Rick falls (and not for the last time!), we try not to fact check Pieter Jan Hagens, Phil Keoghan loves Kingdoms, we rank the five crusader-themed locations, the trip from Belfast to Dublin is surprisingly long, we look at just how bad shisha is for you, another maximum is set, Bindles educates us on a Spanish gameshow, we look for a very niche new AI voice and Logan locks in his fifth set of suspects. Thank you for listening - we will see you next week for Episode 6! Please note: This season is intended on being spoiler-free, so please watch the episodes along with us. As with our coverage of Seasons 11, 14, 16 & 17, there are no spoilers due to Logan not having seen the season before. However, any season we have already covered (WIDM 10-11, 14, 16-25 and Renaissance; België 4-13) is fair game though. This episode is supported by our friends over at Zencastr.
