Send us your feedback — we're listeningPsalm 119:105 — Your Word Is a Lamp for My Feet Live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Adelaide • Queenstown • Singapore • Denver • Montevideo GUIDANCE • WISDOM • CONFIDENCE Good evening, and welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper. As this Saturday begins to draw towards its close, many of us find ourselves reflecting on the path we have walked today and thinking about the days ahead. If you are looking for direction, wondering about an important decision or simply asking God to lead your next step, this time of prayer is for you. There are moments when we wish we could see the whole road stretching out before us. We long for every question to be answered and every uncertainty to disappear. Yet God, in His wisdom, so often leads us one faithful step at a time. He does not ask us to understand everything before we trust Him. Instead, He invites us to stay close to Him, knowing that His Word will always provide the light we need for today.  Psalm 119:105 (NIV) “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” What a comforting promise for every season of life. The Lord's Word does not overwhelm us with everything that lies ahead. It gently illuminates the next step, reminding us that His guidance is always timely, His wisdom is always trustworthy and His presence never leaves us. As we continue this evening, we can walk forward with quiet confidence, not because we know every answer, but because we know the One who faithfully leads His children. So today, let's gently remind ourselves that fear will not win, because God's Word continues to shine with hope, truth and direction for every step we take. Father, thank You for Your living Word that continues to guide us with wisdom and truth. Thank You that You never leave us to find our own way. Lord Jesus, lead every listener this evening. Give wisdom to those making important decisions, courage to those standing at new beginnings, patience to those waiting for answers and steady faith to those taking the next step with You. Holy Spirit, help us to listen carefully, to recognise Your gentle leading and to walk each day with humble hearts that are willing to follow wherever You guide. Across the world, from Adelaide to Queenstown, from Singapore to Denver and Montevideo, may every listener walk into tomorrow with confidence, knowing that God's faithful Word will continue to light their path. Jesús, guía hoy mis pasos con Tu verdad y Tu luz. Jesus, guia hoje os meus passos com a Tua verdade e a Tua luz. Jesus, gabayan Mo ang bawat hakbang ko sa Iyong katotohanan at liwanag. Amen.

Donny Fandango set out with one goal: raise $53,000 for Ronald McDonald House Charities...and then proceeded to absolutely crush it. The crew recaps the incredible Radiothon, the huge donations, the emotional moments, and—because this is The Rizzuto Show—the bizarre auction prizes everyone agreed to while Rizz was unconscious after wisdom tooth surgery.Speaking of surgery, Rizz shares the surprisingly abrupt experience of getting knocked out for his wisdom tooth extraction. No dramatic countdown. No floating through space. Just "What are your hobbies?" and instant blackout. The gang compares anesthesia stories, post-surgery meals, and why hydrocodone apparently turns Rizz into a man convinced invisible bugs are crawling on him.Lern makes her very first Facebook Marketplace purchase. What should have been a simple $35 weight bench somehow becomes an FBI-level covert operation involving porch pickups, Venmo timing, getaway driving, and apologizing to Ring doorbells.The crew debates Korean BBQ versus Brazilian steakhouses, discusses the strategy of "beating the house" at all-you-can-eat restaurants, admits to suffering from the legendary meat sweats, and somehow turns dipping sauces into a competitive sport.As if things weren't chaotic enough, Yellowstone provides one of the wildest viral videos of the week when an agitated bison launches a grandfather several feet into the air after a campsite encounter. The crew breaks down exactly what happened, why wildlife deserves way more personal space than tourists seem willing to give it, and why surviving a bison toss wasn't even the only animal-related headline making newsDanny McBride is writing a brand-new G.I. Joe movie. That's enough to send every child of the '80s and '90s into a nostalgic spiral, so naturally the gang spends way too much time debating what made the original cartoons great, why the previous movies never quite landed, and whether nostalgia is actually making a comeback or if we're all just getting old.Chef Liz from Tenacious Eats rolls into the studio with a full Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-themed dinner preview... and an actual Michelangelo joins the show. Suddenly we're talking Jim Henson costumes, pizza, arcade cabinets, Foot Clan hideouts, movie trivia, and enough food to make every listener immediately hungry.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, where Jay-Z shatters Yankee Stadium records with an unbelievable three-night concert event featuring an all-star lineup that somehow keeps getting bigger. Billy Corgan pitches a dream Smashing Pumpkins Sphere residency, The Rock refuses to give up on his Broadway dreams with Kevin Hart, and Hollywood keeps rebooting everything whether we asked for it or not.The gang also dives into blockbuster movie rumors, Batman casting speculation, Hunger Games returning to theaters, Michael Jackson's record-breaking biopic, American Horror Story returning to its witchy roots, and why Love Island somehow managed to hijack everyone's television. There are passionate debates about depressing movies, surprisingly heartfelt tributes to entertainment legends, and several moments where everyone completely loses the plot.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.Tourist Seriously Injured After Yellowstone Bison Launches Man 8 Feet In The AirBull gores runner in the face at Spain's San Fermin bull run festival, 12 others hurtRyanair passenger partially sucked out of window on flight from GreeceOklahoma woman, the last American in an iron lung, dies at 78Palm Harbor woman arrested for threatening to kill man, says ‘that's just what girls do': deputiesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Two things that will keep your light from shining as a soul winner

Friday Juma KhutbaFriday July 3rd, 202617th Muharram 1448 AHMuharram gatherings commemorate the supreme sacrifice of Imam Husayn (a) and strengthen faith, knowledge, and personal reform.Imam Husayn's sacrifice was entirely for preserving the pure message of Allah.The Prophet (s) described Imam Husayn (a) as the adornment of the heavens and the earth.A famous hadith describes Imam Husayn (a) as "Misbah al-Huda wa Safinat al-Najat" (The Lamp of Guidance and the Ark of Salvation).Imam Husayn (a) continues to guide believers centuries after Karbala through his timeless message.Throughout history, Shia communities around the world have united and established themselves through the remembrance ('aza) of Imam Husayn (a).The growth of Shia centres in Australia demonstrates how Muharram commemorations build and strengthen communities.Emotional attachment to Imam Husayn (a), his family, and his companions serves as the foundation for preserving Islamic identity.Organizers, speakers, and attendees have a responsibility to ensure Muharram gatherings increase faith, knowledge, and righteous conduct.Imam Husayn (a) declared that his movement was never for political power or worldly gain.The objectives of Karbala were to revive the signs of Allah's religion, establish reform, protect the oppressed, and implement divine commandments.The purpose of mourning Imam Husayn (a) should always reflect the objectives of his uprising.Muharram should inspire believers to understand the authentic sources of Islam.The legacy of Imam Husayn (a) calls Muslims to work toward justice, social reform, and peaceful communities.True devotion to Imam Husayn (a) is demonstrated by living according to Allah's commandments and making the Ahlul Bayt (a) proud through one's character.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

One of the most vulnerable things we can do is place our trust in someone or commit ourselves to something. Whenever we are faced with commitment, questions and fears often begin to swirl in our minds. What if they let me down? What if it isn't enough? What if things don't turn out the way I hoped? Commitment can feel risky because it requires us to release control and entrust ourselves to someone or something beyond ourselves. Every one of us wrestles with commitment in some way. Rather than fully committing, we often try to keep one foot in and one foot out. We convince ourselves that this gives us a sense of security—that if things go wrong, we can simply say, "I knew it wouldn't work." Yet this kind of divided allegiance only keeps us from experiencing the fullness of what God desires for us. Jesus calls us to wholehearted trust, and the longer we try to live in the middle ground, the more our hearts drift away from Him. As we continue our journey through Psalm 119, we will see the psalmist repeatedly place his confidence in God's Word. It is through trusting the Lord and delighting in His Word that he experiences its wisdom, joy, and life-giving power. Together, we will explore what it means to fully trust God's Word, consider the cost of wholehearted commitment, and discover the greater joy and freedom found on the other side of surrender. Join us this Sunday at 8:00 or 11:00 AM as we discover why releasing control and entrusting ourselves to the Lord is not only one of the hardest steps of faith we can take, but also one of the most rewarding. We would love to worship with you as we learn together what it means to wholeheartedly trust the God who is always faithful. - Pastor Brandon For this week's Scripture and notes: http://bible.com/events/49627411

Just enough light.

July 8, 2026 Daily Devotional: “My Lamp, My Light”Psalm 119:105 ​"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." ​We often want God to give us a massive, high-powered spotlight that illuminates the next five years of our lives. We want to see around the upcoming bends, anticipate the hurdles, and know exactly where the road ends before we take a single step. ​But the imagery the Psalmist uses here is much more intimate. A "lamp to my feet" in the ancient world wasn't a stadium light; it was a small, handheld clay oil lamp. It provided just enough light to see the very next stepright in front of you so you wouldn't trip over a rock or stumble into a ditch in the darkness. This represents immediate guidance. It's the light you need for the single step right in front of you. It keeps you from tripping over immediate obstacles, traps, or uneven ground in your daily life. It implies that even if you can't see the final destination, you have enough light to makethe next right choice with integrity. ​God's Word functions the exact same way. ​When you feel overwhelmed by the big, unanswered questions of your life - Where am I going? What happens next? How will this resolve? - God rarely hands you a complete roadmap. Instead, He gives you a lamp. He gives you enough truth, wisdom, and presence for today. ​Walking by faith means being comfortable with only seeing one step ahead, trusting that the One holding the light already knows the destination. If you have enough light for just the next step, you have everything you need. Together, the verse paints a picture of complete reliance. It suggests that life can often feel like walking through a dark, unfamiliar forest where it's easy to lose your way or stumble. The verse encourages the reader that they don't have to walk in the dark; by relying on spiritual truths or scripture ("Your word"), they receive both the micro-guidance needed for daily decisionsand the macro-guidance needed for their life's ultimate destination. ​It's a message of comfort, reassurance, and practical wisdom for anyone trying to find their way through uncertain times. ​Where are you demanding a spotlight? Identify one area of your life where you are feeling anxious because you can't see the long-term outcome. ​What is the next rightstep? Instead of trying to fix the whole problem, what is one small, tangible way you can align your actions with God's truth today?

Alex talks with MacKenzie Wilson, Director of External Affairs at Blue Rose Research, whose image is inspired by the famous “lady of the lamp” Florence Nightingale's Rose Diagram.

So many mothers — especially those from patriarchal cultures — are conditioned to believe that everyone else knows better. The doctor is right. The priest is right. The attorney is right. Everyone except them. South Central LAMP Executive Director Diana Z. Pinto is on a mission to change that. For over 30 years, her organization has been helping mothers in South Central Los Angeles find their voice, recognize their worth, and become the powerful advocates their children need them to be. Because when a mother knows her value, her whole family feels it. This is the kind of work that doesn't make headlines — but it changes generations. Check out the entire episode at SmallandGutsy.org.

PHP Podcast – June 17, 2026 Hosts: Sara Golemon & Holly Schilling | Guests: Paul Reinheimer & Sean Coates Eric and John are still locked in the basement. Sara is literally on a boat in Spain. Normal show, totally normal. Sara Broadcasts from a Harbor in A Coruña Sara is joining this week’s show from a marina in A Coruña, northwest Spain — in the Galicia region, where they speak Galician (not quite Spanish, not quite Portuguese). It’s 1am local time and the boat is visibly rocking on camera. Holly is holding down the fort from Chicago. This is what Sara calls pirate radio, except one of the pirates is actually on a boat. Meet the Guests: Paul Reinheimer & Sean Coates Paul Reinheimer and Sean Coates are PHP veterans from an earlier era — both were closely involved with PHP Architect around 2005–2010, back when Sara was already a PHP core contributor and the community was small enough to fit in one bar. Paul now runs Wonder Proxy, a service that lets you test your website’s behavior from locations around the world (checking GDPR banners, geo-targeted content, checkout flows, etc.), and is also building a startup called StudioWorks — business management software for creative studios, with an invoicing product and a proposals product in development. Sean is based in Montreal and has been spending time at a local hackerspace called Food Lab, where he got pulled into MeshTastic and MeshCore mesh networking, and is now surrounded by vintage computers, including a PDP-11 and five-and-a-quarter-inch floppy disks. The Quarter-Million-Line Commit Paul committed 250,000 lines of code directly to Wonder Proxy’s repo without a PR last week — and he’s not particularly sorry about it. The context: it was a pre-generated SQLite amalgamation file (all of SQLite compiled into a single C file), which Wonder Proxy is now checking in as a pinned static dependency rather than regenerating each build. Paul’s argument is unanswerable: you cannot meaningfully review 250,000 lines of generated C code in a PR. If there’s something malicious in there and you’re good with C, you could hide it in parameterized defines and no one would see it. The right approach, which Paul landed on, was creating a separate package with its own CI — and including the command to regenerate the amalgamation so reviewers can verify the output themselves, not just stare at the diff. Measuring Wrong — Sean’s Rant Sean has been ranting about this for 10–15 years and it hasn’t gotten less true: companies systematically measure things that make them look good and avoid measuring things that make them look bad. A marketing team adds a spin-to-win wheel to the homepage and celebrates their 1% sales increase. Nobody measures how many people found the wheel so obnoxious they immediately left. Cookie and GDPR banners are the same story — they go up, they’re never removed, and the conversion impact is never tracked because nobody wants to report bad news up the chain. Sean’s broader point: an epidemic of motivated measurement is a big part of why the web is as bad as it is. PHP in 2026 vs. PHP Then — What’s Still Working Paul’s honest take: the LAMP stack still works great. In 2004 you could build a productive web application with Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP — and you still can today. The fundamental approach is the same. Having since done Ruby at Stripe and other languages elsewhere, Paul keeps coming back to how much sense the PHP model makes to him. The longevity is the feature, not a bug. Wonder Proxy’s web app — built in server-side Swift using the Hummingbird framework — returns pages in under 50 milliseconds almost always and under 30 most of the time, with almost no client-side JavaScript. Server round trips are fast. The web doesn’t have to be seven seconds. Swift Concurrency and What PHP Could Learn Sara asked Sean — who has used Swift on the server for StudioWorks — what he’d want to see in PHP’s threading model. His answer: anything the compiler can enforce beats anything you have to remember yourself. Swift’s concurrency model has the compiler reject code that would allow a thread to trample on a sendable object after it’s been sent off. You find out about threading mistakes at compile time, not when corrupt data shows up in production. Sean’s verdict: an early warning system for threading problems is 10,000 times more valuable than discovering them too late. PHP’s async/await path is cooperative task switching (not true threading), which avoids some of these issues but can still deadlock if someone forgets to hand off control. Composer, require_once, and Supply Chain Security The chat raised whether anyone still uses require_once in the PSR-4 world. Sara’s answer: PHP.net does — it doesn’t use Composer at all, because the site needs to be framework and library agnostic. Grep for require_once across typical vendor dependencies and you’ll find around 100 instances still in the wild, mostly inside packages like Doctrine. The supply chain security conversation from there: Composer’s lock file pins to specific hashes, which is what you want — but a lot of projects don’t commit their lock file, and pinning to a version tag isn’t enough because tags can be updated if someone takes over a GitHub account. To really be safe, pin to a specific commit hash. It’s a pain to maintain, but it’s much harder to fake. The PHP Foundation — The Biggest Change in PHP Paul called out the PHP Foundation as the single biggest change in PHP since he and Sean were actively involved. Having an organization that can receive money from individual supporters and use it to fund core PHP work has been talked about since before PHP had package management. The foundation now has over 1,000 individual supporters — including Rasmus Lerdorf himself, which Sara found funny. Paul and Wonder Proxy support it financially; Wonder Proxy also holds a private Packagist account as an indirect way to fund Composer development. Sara works directly with the foundation on PHP core. Elizabeth Barron (from last week’s show) is doing exceptional work moving it forward. PHP.net Redesign and the Dark Mode Problem Sara copped to a php.net rabbit hole: she tried to implement dark mode for the site and succeeded everywhere except code samples. PHP’s built-in highlight_string() function has hard-coded colors that assume a light background, and there’s no way to override them. Sara wrote the patch to make the colors configurable at the internals level, then realized it should actually be a separate PHP project, then lost track of caring about it because it became yak shaving. On the redesign side: the foundation ran a competition to redesign the releases page (the per-version page with changelogs and download links), and the results look much better. The downloads page has been getting more beginner-friendly content — how to actually get PHP running, not just a reference manual. There are homepage mockups being iterated on as well. What Talk Would You Give? Sara asked both guests what conference talk they’d give if they were speaking today. Paul: marketing for developers. Too many developers believe “if you build it, they will come,” and AI is making this worse — the barrier to shipping something that looks professional has dropped so far that the noise floor is rising fast. Hollywood knows to spend as much on marketing as on production. Paul doesn’t claim to be good at marketing, but he thinks someone should be giving this talk at every developer conference. Sean: reliable deployment and supply chain integrity — specifically how to actually control the path from git to production without sneaking in vulnerabilities. Containers have helped, but there’s still a lot of infrastructure that fetches things at build or request time that is genuinely dangerous. PHP Tek 2027 The PHP Tek 2027 website is live at phptek.io.

Rather than talking about awareness, this talk by Jogem invites listeners to taste it directly — through guided exhalations, the image of a hollow vessel lit from within, and the Dzogchen teaching of the Nine Amazing Things — pointing to the primordial light that exists in everyone. ★ Support this podcast ★

Most enterprises are renters, not owners, of their technology and AI. Raffi Krikorian, Chief Technology Officer of Mozilla, explains why dependence on a handful of closed model providers means losing control over model behavior, pricing, and your own data.In CXOTalk episode 920, Krikorian lays out where open-source AI actually wins in the enterprise, how lock-in happens quietly, and what CIOs and CTOs should do about it now. Krikorian draws on his experience building infrastructure at Twitter and running the self-driving division at Uber to ground the discussion in real engineering and economic tradeoffs, not hype.YOU'LL DISCOVER✅ Why 85% of enterprises believed they could switch AI vendors, but only about 30% actually could when they tried✅ The "renters vs. owners" framing and what it means to control your AI destiny✅ Why Krikorian wants data "protected by architecture, not legal handshakes"✅ How Pinterest reportedly saved on the order of $10 million in a single quarter by switching from closed to open models✅ Why IT is becoming "the HR team for agents," and the read/write "dangerous triangle" of agentic permissions✅ The case for recording your prompts and running your own evaluations instead of trusting public benchmarks✅ Why roughly 70% of enterprise GPUs sit idle, and the missing "LAMP stack for AI" that could put them to work✅ How closed "validation machines" can quietly steer answers toward sponsored outcomes⏱️ TIMESTAMPS (estimated, verify before publishing)0:00 Renters vs. owners: who controls enterprise AI2:26 The risks of depending on closed model makers6:23 How lock-in happens and where open source fits9:53 Regression testing and building your own evals13:24 Pricing instability and the post-IPO cost question23:31 Governance: IT as HR for AI agents32:38 Can a small organization own its AI stack end-to-end?38:47 Validation machines, trust, and sponsored answers43:39 Keeping humans at the center, not in the loop47:23 Can open source beat big tech in AI?51:39 Inside Mozilla.ai: Otari, CQ, Octanus, Thunderbolt55:21 The "rebel alliance" strategy

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Jay Wiles to unpack the science of nervous system regulation and Heart Rate Variability. Dr. Wiles explains why many popular nervous system tools fail to deliver lasting results, breaks down the role of the vagus nerve, and shares how Heart Rate Variability (HRV) can be used as a personalized metric for resilience and recovery. The conversation dives into resonant breathing, how to find your optimal breathing rate, and why comparing your HRV scores to others can be misleading. He also introduces his Nervous System Resiliency Training (NSRT) framework and discusses the innovative Ohm Health lamp, a device designed to help users train autonomic flexibility and improve stress resilience. Whether you're new to HRV or looking to optimize performance, this episode offers practical strategies for building a more resilient nervous system.Dr. Jay Wiles is a clinical health and performance psychologist, internationally recognized expert in HRV biofeedback and psychophysiology, and Chief Health & Performance Officer at Ohm Health. He has worked with professional athletes and organizations across the MLB, NHL, NFL, NBA, PGA Tour, Formula One, and Fortune 100 companies, helping high performers improve resilience, recovery, sleep, and performance under pressure. He is the originator of Nervous System Resiliency Training (NSRT), a structured, protocol-driven framework for training autonomic flexibility that translates the principles of nervous system regulation into measurable improvements in health, well-being, and human performance.SHOW NOTES:0:39 Welcome to the podcast!3:44 About Dr. Jay Wiles4:46 Welcome him to the show!6:35 Why nervous system tools don't work12:27 The Vagus Nerve explained15:38 Vagal nerve stimulators17:32 How HRV relates to the vagus nerve18:40 HRV 10120:45 Brake vs Gas pedal analogy23:09 Why you shouldn't compare HRV scores28:13 Genetics for HRV30:49 What to do if you're frustrated with HRV!31:47 What is Resonance?36:00 Resonant breathing38:26 Visual of dysregulated nervous system42:29 Optimal breathing rates47:05 How to determine your resonant breath rate!50:01 The Ohm Health lamp56:32 Specs & portability59:24 Recommended usage for benefits1:03:05 Are vagus nerve stimulators a waste?1:05:20 His opinion on other breathing techniques?1:07:00 How to get an Ohm lamp!1:07:49 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:Website: Ohm Health - code: BIOHACKERBABESDr. Jay: www.thrive-wellness.comIG: @ohm.healthIG: @drjaywilesSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Welcome to Day 2869 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2869 – “Where Are You in This Picture”  based on Luke 8:1-21 Putnam Church Message – 04/26/2026 The Good News According to Luke: “Where Are You in This Picture?”   Last week's message was: “The Love and Grace of Jesus.” We explored how Jesus's Love and Grace extend to those others reject. Today, we continue with our twentieth message from Luke's narrative of the Good News of Jesus Christ. Today's message is: “Where Are You in This Picture?” Our core passage today is Luke 8:1-21, which is found on page 1605 of your pew Bibles.  The Parable of the Sower 8 After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him, 2 and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out; 3 Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod's household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means. 4 While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he told this parable: 5 “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds ate it up. 6 Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown.” When he said this, he called out, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.” 9 His disciples asked him what this parable meant. 10 He said, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, “‘though seeing, they may not see;  though hearing, they may not understand.'[a] 11 “This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God. 12 Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. 13 Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away. 14 The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life's worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature. 15 But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop. A Lamp on a Stand 16 “No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light. 17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open. 18 Therefore, consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has / will be given more; / whoever does not have, / even what they think they have, / will be taken from them.” Jesus' Mother and Brothers 19 Now Jesus' mother and brothers came to see him, but they were not able to get near him because of the crowd. 20 Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.” 21 He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear God's word and put it into practice.”   Opening Prayer Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of Your Word. Thank You for the Gospel of Luke, which continues to show us the beauty, authority, compassion, and truth of Jesus. As we open this passage today, we ask You to open our hearts as well. Let the seed of Your Word fall on good soil within us. Remove what is hard, shallow, distracted, or resistant. Give us ears to hear, minds to understand, and hearts ready to obey. Lord, do more than inform us today—transform us. Show each of us where we are in this picture, and by Your grace, lead us into deeper faithfulness. In Jesus' name, amen. As we continue in this twentieth message in our journey through Luke's Gospel, we come to a passage that feels almost like a mirror. In recent weeks, Luke has shown us again and again who Jesus is. He has authority over sickness. He has authority over death. He has authority over sin. He receives the broken. He forgives the guilty. He welcomes the outsider. And after all of that, Luke now brings us to a very personal question: What are we doing with Jesus? Or to put it in the title of today's message: Where are you in this picture? Because Luke 8:1–21 is not merely information about other people long ago. It is a spiritual portrait gallery. Somewhere in this scene, we will find ourselves. Are we like the women who served Jesus with grateful devotion? Are we like the crowds who listen but do not really change? Are we like the shallow soil that sprouts quickly but wilts under pressure? Are we like the thorny soil, slowly choked by worry and worldly cares? Or are we becoming good soil—receiving the Word, holding fast to it, and bearing fruit with perseverance? That is the question. And it is such an important question because in this passage, Jesus teaches us that ministry success, spiritual growth, and genuine discipleship do not begin “out there” somewhere. They begin in here—in the heart. A Simple Object Lesson I have four pictures here today: One is of hard-packed dirt—soil that has been walked on until it is stiff and unyielding. / One is a thin layer of dirt over a rock. /  one is soil mixed with weeds and thorny roots. And one is soft, rich, prepared soil. What will happen if I spread seed over each of these plots of land? The seed would be the same. / The Sower would be the same. / The difference would be the soil. / That is the heart of this passage. The great issue is not whether God's Word is powerful enough. It is. The great issue is not whether the gospel is true enough. It is. The question is: What kind of heart receives it? And that leads us to our first of four truths for today. Main Point 1: Genuine faith expresses itself in practical devotion. Luke begins this section by reminding us that Jesus was traveling from town to town proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom of God. The Twelve were with Him, and so were a number of women—Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Susanna, and many others—who supported His ministry out of their own means. That opening matters. Right before this, in Luke 7, we saw a sinful woman pouring out her love at Jesus' feet. Now Luke shows us more people whose faith is not merely emotional or theoretical—it is practical, visible, and costly. The disciples had left nets, boats, tax tables, and ordinary routines. These women were giving their resources, their loyalty, their time, and their reputations. That would have been striking in the first-century Jewish world. Rabbis were followed by disciples, yes—but Luke makes a point of mentioning women here, not as background decorations. They are active participants in Jesus' mission. Some had been healed, some delivered, some redeemed from brokenness. And now their gratitude has become service. Mary Magdalene had been set free from demonic bondage. Joanna lived in close proximity to political power through her husband's position at Herod's court. Susanna is largely unknown to us, but not to Jesus. That in itself is comforting. Some names are well-known in the story of God, and some are not. But obscurity does not mean insignificance. The Lord sees every quiet act of faithfulness. This has been one of Luke's major themes all along. The people who truly receive...

Scripture: Mark 4:21–34Series: Gospel of Mark, Part 14 In this episode, we continue our journey through the Gospel of Mark as Jesus teaches the crowds using parables. Last time, we learned how people respond differently to God's Word in the Parable of the Sower. Today, Jesus builds on that teaching and helps us understand something new: not just how we respond, but what God is doing. Through the pictures of a lamp, a growing seed, and a tiny mustard seed, Jesus teaches us: God's truth is like a light—it is meant to be seen, not hidden  God is always at work, even when we cannot see it  His kingdom may start small, but it grows strong and cannot be stopped  ⁠

He explains how the episode introduced both graphic designer Ryan — creator of the iconic nodding Dopey logo — and Todd Curry, Dave's longtime using buddy who would later die in 2018, just weeks before Chris. Dave reflects on Chris's original idea for a “Dopey Stories” book made up of listener submissions and stories from the show. He talks about failed attempts to pitch the project to publishers and wonders whether self-publishing a Dopey book on Amazon might finally make sense. He invites listeners to resend their best stories to dopeypodcast@gmail.com. Disclaimer: I think I called Spanish People Stupid - but it was meant totally with love. Dave then shifts into a recap of Music on the Mountain in Vermont, where he attended with Linda and the kids. He talks about seeing Anders Osborne, Daniel Donato, Jackie Greene, Karina Rykman, Eggy, Lamp, and others. Susan celebrates her eighth birthday and hilariously insists on introducing bands onstage after Dave lets her introduce Karina Rykman. Dave admits Susan might actually be a better MC than him. Dave promotes the upcoming Dopey Short Film Festival at the SVA Theater, mentioning Mountainside as a possible title sponsor and joking about Katz's desserts and Othello cookies potentially being involved. He reads Patreon and Spotify comments reacting to the previous replay episode, including discussion of Rush, Basketball Diaries, Knicks playoff hopes, bread basket addiction, and people missing Chris. Dave goes on multiple tangents about bread, fitness, the Knicks, and Cleveland versus Detroit. The replay itself begins with Chris and Dave just starting to record when Todd randomly calls in. Todd immediately launches into a story about getting arrested while allegedly trying to buy weed in a housing project. Chris and Dave immediately question the story while Todd insists he was only trying to buy marijuana. The conversation spirals into stories about community service, Delancey Street cleanup duty, reverse discrimination jokes, airport profiling, Todd's history with Dave, and their years selling drugs together. Chris openly campaigns for Todd to become a recurring Dopey guest while Dave resists because Todd is still actively using heroin and weed. Graphic designer Ryan joins the conversation and explains why he loved Dopey from the beginning — because it wasn't a traditional recovery podcast. He says recovery shows felt too church-like, while Dopey mixed active addiction stories with recovery in a way that could actually reach addicts. Todd and Dave argue about whether active users should appear on Dopey. Ryan attempts to sober coach Todd live on the air, asking him what heroin does for him emotionally. Todd admits heroin covers feelings of loneliness, insecurity, and self-hatred. He describes failed relationships, yoga classes, women, and using heroin to cope with emotional pain. Ryan explains the basics of abstinence and recovery while Todd half-jokes and half-confesses his inability to stop using. Chris mostly eggs the entire thing on while enjoying the chaos. The episode shifts into stories about Mountainside and the infamous “Phase Four” extended-care house. Ryan explains how he entered treatment planning only to save money for heroin afterward, but somehow ended up getting sober instead. Dave admits he originally thought Ryan would never stay sober, while Dave himself eventually relapsed despite appearing more serious about recovery at the time. Ryan tells wild detox stories involving escaping treatment during withdrawal, trading a $2,500 laptop for heroin bundles, walking through snowstorms, and eventually landing at Mountainside. The group discusses relapse, sobriety, AA sponsorship disasters, yoga, heroin addiction, and the randomness of getting sober. The episode eventually devolves into jokes about Dave's disgusting toenail, Instagram photos, podcast structure, and arguments about whether episodes should be one hour long. Chris insists on ending every episode with “Good So Bad,” while Dave complains nobody wants long podcasts — ironic considering modern Dopey episodes often run three hours. Back in present-day narration, Dave reflects emotionally on hearing Todd and Chris together again. He reveals that Todd eventually appeared on Dopey multiple times, including once when he left mid-recording to go downstairs and shoot heroin before returning to finish the episode high. Dave closes by talking about Ryan's later recovery work at Berkshire Transition Network and how foundational he was to early Dopey. He reflects on the pain, foreshadowing, and innocence captured in the episode before ending with “Good So Bad” and a tribute to Chris and Todd. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
