In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach addresses the rise of far-right influencer Nick Fuentes and asks if hate has become the new gospel. He warns that Fuentes' messages of racism, antisemitism, and misogyny directly contradict the teachings of Jesus, who calls us to love our enemies and value every human being as made in God's image. Pastor Zach emphasizes that as Christians, our allegiance is to the kingdom of Jesus, not any ethnic identity or political ideology, and following voices like Fuentes risks turning people away from Christ.Have an article you'd like Pastor Zach to discuss?

In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach discusses the power of reading to children and asks if parents are missing a key discipleship tool. He explains that reading not only strengthens bonds but also teaches children about God's character and instills faith, citing Proverbs 22, Deuteronomy 6, and Romans 10. Parents are reminded that their home is the primary place for theological formation and that reading Scripture to their kids shapes both the child and the parent.Have an article you'd like Pastor Zach to discuss?

In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach explores the question, can more money fix our government? Prompted by a New York Times opinion piece, he considers whether raising congressional salaries might actually attract more competent and ethical leaders. Using both cultural insight and biblical teaching, he argues that underpaying leaders devalues leadership, fosters corruption, and ignores God's design for wise, well-supported leadership. Ultimately, Pastor Zach challenges us to see leadership as a gift worth honoring so that we might raise up the best leaders possible.Have an article you'd like Pastor Zach to discuss?

Thaddeus Lowe is not buried at Laurel Hill, but has many connections there. He was an balloon aeronaut during the Civil War, thus father of the United States Air Force.  Grover Cleveland Bergdoll's family is in a huge mausoleum at Laurel Hill West. An early student of the Wright brothers, he became a poster child for privilege when he dodged the draft during the Great War. Hobey Baker's athletic gifts made him a natural pilot, but he crashed and died on the day he was scheduled to return stateside. Benjamin Lee II eagerly awaited his opportunity for a dogfight, but he was killed during a training accident. Holger "Hold Your Horses" Hoiriis was a Danish American flyer who made history when he flew across the Atlantic with a paying customer. Jacques Louis Francine was an All-American boy who used his flying skills to explore wilderness regions of northern Canada. His wartime service was very impressive. Edgar Loftus was commanding officer at a European Air Base in the final days of the war when Hitler's Iron Eagle made a surprise landing at his base, but then perversely refused to surrender.  Fold up your tray table, fasten your seatbelt, and get ready as we take off into the world of pilots at Laurel Hill. 

In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach unpacks the outrage over Cracker Barrel's logo change and asks the question, why are we so quick to get angry about things that don't matter? He reminds us that faux outrage distracts from real issues—like division, suffering, and injustice—that actually require our attention as followers of Jesus. Instead of chasing culture wars, Pastor Zach calls us back to being peacemakers and keeping our eyes on what truly matters.Have an article you'd like Pastor Zach to discuss?

In a few chapters, you will read one of the triumphs in literature, borrowed from the Wisdom Literature of the Old Testament.Tolstoy will have the fictional Andrei recognize the Vanity of our world. On the battlefield, Andrei is placed in a posture that makes him attuned to absorbing the nature of war & peace; and much more.In preparation for this moment, I ask you to take a tiny step toward developing the ability to see behind the vanity & vexation of our existence. If inclined, read the beginning of Ecclesiastes – as Andrei will paraphrase this material while speaking to the meaningless and futility of not seeing beyond the issues of the day.Conceding most will never going to do that… the critical and initial part of Ecclesiastes 1 reads: Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher (often identified as Solomon); All is vanity. What profit hath a man of all his labour, which he taketh under the sun?Then Scripture references then unrelenting cycles of nature --One generation passeth away, and another cometh: but the earth abideth;The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteneth to his place where it arose.The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north;it whirleth about continually, and returneth again according to his circuits. All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full; unto the place from where the rivers come, thither they return again.War & Peace is an everlasting work, in part, by reason of Tolstoy's influence from Scripture. Within this vein, Tolstoy has been able to capture the artist's ability to see beyond and touch the Transcendent! Tolstoy was able to skillfully -- not to just look to the baseness of what is in front, or below us, in creating something entertaining -- but he is able to enter the sacred space of fulfilling the spiritual need of appreciating the infiniteness above. So, this chapter is a reminder open yourself to this dynamic. For you ALL have Your own wars and periods of peace.Therefore, take a moment, to recognize what is here and now is not as significant as it seems, whether it is the Battle at Austerlitz or the so-call grand historical events of Your life. All of that is microscopic compared to what is above.If you are not interested in wrestling with the Bible,  you can at least, take a look up to the sky and concentrate for a few seconds. This simple exercise gives us a sense of our size and the ineffability of what we are taking in.   Consider our quarrels and even the wars men are so-often thrown into and what really mean in the grand sense.The exercise will build and appreciation for a pivotal moment in the book and more importantly,  life in general.  You will catch this moment soon, if you don't know it already, on the fields of Austerlitz.Moreover, most readers fail realize something rather obvious, that the title and phrase War & Peace appears in the famous poetry of Chapter 3 of Ecclesiastes, where the Scripture notes that there is a Time for every purpose under Heaven, including a time for War; and a Time of Peace.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Friday morning, the 29th of August, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Gospel of Luke 19:2-3: ”Now behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector, and he was rich. And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature."He was a very short man but I want to say something to you today. Maybe you're short. Short physically, maybe you are short of education, maybe you just haven't had a very good break in life, short of opportunities. Well, I want to talk to you about Zacchaeus. You see, God always compensates. That's what I've found in my life. He never lets you come short if you put your trust in Him alone. He did it for me.Zacchaeus was a very determined, small man. There are some men that are big who are very slack. They don't try, they don't really make an effort. They feel they don't have to, but he was short and maybe he was always left behind. So he became determined in his character. He was a feisty man. I love watching rugby, and normally, the most feisty man on the field is the scrum-half. He normally is the smallest man on the field, but I want to say to you, that doesn't mean to say he is the least. He is the link man and sometimes the most important man on the field. Well, this little man Zacchaeus was not going to be lost in the crowd, so he made a plan. He climbed up a sycamore tree and what happened? Jesus saw him. There weren't any others up the tree. He saw him. He said, ”I'm coming to your house today.” How would you like the Son of God to come to your house today and have a meal with you? He was a chief tax collector, a thief and Jesus came to his house. Zacchaeus invited all his friends to come and join with him.You know, if you're a football fan, there's a man by the name of Lionel Messi, he plays for Argentina. He is 1.7m tall and weighs a mere 67 kgs. At the age of 10 years old, he had a growth hormone deficiency. He has now become a giant in soccer in the world. Anybody who knows anything about soccer knows who Lionel Messi is.I want to say to you today, don't despise your situation. Look up to Jesus and He will see you. Not only will He see you, He will equip you and He will use you mightily. Put your trust in Him, look to Him, give Him all your cares and let Him do the work. Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day today,Goodbye.

The letter to the Hebrews was written to encourage Christians in a time of trial. It does so by focusing on the absolute supremacy and sufficiency of Jesus Christ. While God spoke in the past “many times and in many ways,” he has now spoken to us “by his Son,” Jesus Christ, who is the “exact imprint” of God's nature and who “upholds the universe by the word of his power” (1:1–3). Jesus accomplished complete salvation for all who trust in him (1:1–10:18). We dare not “neglect such a great salvation” (2:3; 5:12–6:20; 10:19–39). Rather, in our faith and in our everyday living, we should imitate the example of Christ and of those on the honor roll of faith (chs. 11–13). This letter, whose author is unknown, was probably written between a.d. 60 and 70.

You have heard this SASF axiom: "A good dad can't be present in children's fiction." This is because if he was, there'd be no story for the kids to take care of -- BUT... there are a few exceptions... - Brian and Nate search for those elusive MG/YA unicorns: the good and present father. - What about To Kill a Mockingbird's Atticus Finch? Jeremiah Land from Peace Like a River? Guido in Life is Beautiful? In these stories, the good dad becomes the protagonist. - Uncle Frank in 100 Cupboards? Nate explains why he'd never call Uncle Frank a good father figure. - Heading further afield: what about Mustafa from The Lion King? Bandit from Bluey? Gomez Addams??
 - Finally the guys turn to real life: Ralph Moody's father, Pa Wilder, Bible characters including Nate's pick for best dad in the whole Bible: Jesus's earthly father, Joseph.

Courts have witnesses accidentally pleading internet insanity now. We check on the state of athletes and gambling and whether we're at the beginning of a legislative backlash.

They have been moms for one quarter of that time and it shows. How do they cope? They laugh about all of the craziness that comes with being a mom and they want you to laugh about it too! From snot to stretchmarks to sleepless nights, Kristin and Jen know firsthand that parenting is a hard job and they invite you to join them in taking it all a little less seriously (even if for a few short minutes a day). After all, Jen currently has four days of dry shampoo in her hair and Kristin's keys are still in her front door. They try, they fail, they support each other, and they mom as hard as they can.Disclaimer: This podcast is for entertainment purposes only.
