Podcasts about Lord John

In this deep and lively conversation, Patrick and Jonah continue their journey through Paul's Letter to the Ephesians, entering chapter 6 — the passage addressing children, parents, and the challenge of obedience. Together they explore the profound tension and mystery in Paul's words about submission, obedience, and how they can easily be misused or distorted into oppressive tools. At the same time, they consider how obedience can be transformed and transfigured through Christ into a liberating path of love, discernment, and freedom.Drawing on personal experiences as fathers and priests, Patrick and Jonah reflect on moments of healthy authority, rightful correction, and also times when children (and all of us) must discern when voices are not “in the Lord.” The discussion expands into themes of generational inheritance, the role of parents in blessing the earth, and the deeper spiritual call to hear and follow the true voice of God — which may come through others but ultimately lives in the listening heart.Themes DiscussedIntroduction to Ephesians 6: The closing exhortations before the “armor of God” passage.The continuity of the theme of submission and ordering oneself rightly — in families, communities, and before Christ.The radical equality in Paul's new vision: children, wives, and bondservants are all addressed directly as fellow members of Christ's body.The nuanced meaning of obedience “in the Lord” — not blind rule-following, but discerning and heeding true words of life.Parenting experiences: moments of both failure and grace in bringing up children in the “instruction of the Lord.”The danger of obedience distorted into tyranny and the church's historical complicity in oppression.The role of listening (shema) in Jewish and Christian traditions — as deeply connected to the will and the path of freedom.Children (and all of us) learning to test the spirits and to recognize what is truly good and true.Reflections on generational burdens and blessings — breaking patterns to offer freedom to the next generation.The Prodigal Son as a lens for parenting adult children and trusting the Lord of destiny.Key ScriptureEphesians 6:1-4 — Children, obey your parents in the Lord…John 8:12 — I am the light of the world…The Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4) — Hear, O Israel…Luke 15: The Prodigal Son — referenced as a parable of trust and freedom.Closing ThoughtsPatrick and Jonah close with wonder at the figure of Christ Jesus as the one who listens and obeys the Father perfectly — revealing true obedience as something rooted in love, freedom, and the pursuit of the good and true. This vision offers a path beyond oppressive systems into the joyful responsibility of becoming listeners and doers of the Word.Next episode will continue into the more challenging and provocative passage regarding bondservants and masters, exploring the radical implications of Paul's message for unjust systems and relationships.Support the showThe Light in Every Thing is a podcast of The Seminary of The Christian Community in North America.

You Know It Is the Lord! | John 21:1-14 | Trinity Lutheran Church Have you ever had a moment when God's promises became unmistakably clear?

"It is the Lord!" proclaims John, recognizing Jesus by His word that accomplishes exactly what He promises. Today, we hear that same powerful word, given so that "you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name" (John 20:31). Listen and believe—it truly is the Lord! ✨ Key Takeaways: Jesus fulfills His promises in unexpected ways. Recognizing Jesus comes through hearing His Word.

This week on The Sassenach Files podcast, Chelsea is back to discuss her favorite episode of 7B, 712: “Carnal Knowledge.” Come join her as she discusses the development of Lord John from a supporting role to part of the main cast, a new face to the outlander cast – Sylvia Presente, aka Jane Pocock, and the technical genius that made this episode truly spectacular. But that is only the tip of the iceberg as she dives deep into some of the most controversial moments of the episode, including Jamie and John's brawl, Jamie and Claire's ten-minute long “come to Jesus” moment followed by a possessive *cough* encounter in the dining room.

Mary & Blake recap and give reaction to Outlander episode 7.16 - A Hundred Thousand Angels. In this episode, we discuss a wide range of topics, starting with the shocking reveal at the end about the possible return of Claire and Jamie's deceased daughter, Faith. We debate the implications of this twist and speculate on the potential directions the story could go in season 8. We also chat the tender scene between Claire and John, Rollo, Bree and Roger, the complex relationship between Jamie, William, and Lord John, and Jamie's reluctance to fully apologize. Also in this episode: The conversation between Jamie and William about William's mother was handled delicately, with Jamie choosing his words carefully to avoid upsetting William further after the loss of his sister. The scenes involving Jane's death and William's inability to save her were powerful, highlighting the harsh realities of the time period. Lord John's comedic relief and unwavering support for William were highlights, showcasing his role as a father figure. The reveal about Faith at the end of the episode has divided fans, with some excited by the potential for magical realism, while others are concerned it may detract from the core relationships and historical elements of the show. The pregnancy reveal for Rachel and Ian's reaction to his dog Rollo's death were emotional moments that balanced the more fantastical elements. The conversation between Brianna and her biological father, Brian, was a poignant exploration of their complex relationship and the importance of family. The overall episode balanced moments of joy, sorrow, and uncertainty, setting the stage for a potentially bold and unconventional final season of Outlander.   SUBSCRIBE TO OUTLANDER CAST: AN OUTLANDER PODCAST Apple Podcasts YouTube Spotify CONNECT WITH MARY & BLAKE  Like Our Facebook Page Join Our Facebook Group Join The #NerdClan Follow On Twitter  Follow On Instagram  UNLOCK BONUS EPISODES, PREMIUM PODCASTS & MORE -- www.JoinTheNerdClan.com Sign up  HERE for Blake's Book Club: DRUMS OF AUTUMN CHECK OUT THE BEST MERCH ON THE PLANET: THE MARY & BLAKE STORE Shop for all of our podcasts, sayings, and listener inspired designs in one easy place.

Series: Signs & GloryTitle: Why every Christian should live zealously for the LordScripture: John 2:12-251 Cor 3:16-17; 6:18-20; 1 Peter 2:4-8; Romans 12:9-11Bottom line: Every Christian should live zealously for the Lord and his kingdom mission.INTRODUCTIONCONTEXTSERMON OUTLINECONCLUSIONNOTESOUTLINESQUESTIONS TO CONSIDER DISCUSSION QUESTIONSMAIN REFERENCES USEDMy opening prayer: Lord God, help us grow to be and do like Jesus, while abiding in him and leading others to do the same. INTRODUCTION"Another day in paradise," January 13, 2025, Bill Murphy, Jr."Honest to God, I just could not stop thinking of wonderful things that have happened to me and blessings that I've had, so it was lovely. It was lovely. And I got to a point of grace with about two minutes to spare when I found out it wasn't actually happening.— Jim CarreySeek immediate shelterIt was a beautiful morning. But aren't they all in Hawaii? A little below 80 degrees at the weather station in Oahu, with nearly no cloud cover: the kind of day that people on the mainland sometimes wish they had (but almost never get) at the beginning of January. • Honeymooners were waking up in each others' arms in their hotel rooms. A woman named Lydia Warren and her husband were vacationing on the beach. • A college student named Makena was showing her visiting boyfriend the Pearl Harbor memorial. (It's open at 7 a.m.; who knew?) Her father, a TV news producer named David Patterson, was on the freeway, about to dial into a conference call. • Oh, and here's a quirky one: Actor and comedian Jim Carrey was up early, working on writing a memoir.Then: panic. At 8:08 a.m., Hawaii's civil defense and emergency agency sent an alarming text to every single person in the state with a cell phone. It read, in all caps: "BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL."Local T.V. put a chyron message on the screen as well, against the backdrop of things like a college basketball game between Ole Miss and Florida, or else a Premier League soccer game from London between Tottenham Hotspur and Everton:The U.S. Pacific Command has detected a missile threat to Hawaii. A missile may impact on land or sea within minutes. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. If you are indoors, stay indoors. If you are outdoors, seek immediate shelter in a building. Remain indoors well away from windows. If you are driving, pull safely to the side of the road and seek shelter in a building or lay on the floor. We will announce when the threat has ended. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. Take immediate action measures.Can you even imagine? Of course, you probably remember this -- along with the fact that in the end, there was no inbound missile. By the way, the date was January 13, 2018, so seven years ago today.In fact, officials at the civil defense agency realized this was a mistake pretty quickly, but it took them 38 minutes to confirm that and then figure out how to send a second message telling people that the first alert was in error.There's a lot about this story - but the biggest part that has stayed with me is how people spent those 38 minutes when they thought they and everyone around them was going to die.Lydia Warren and her husband raced back to their hotel -- not so much because they thought it would be safer, but because they thought that their bodies might be more easily identified someday if they were found near where they were staying.David Patterson called his daughter and learned where she was. He told her to use her phone to record video of Pearl Harbor visitors processing the possibility of an imminent attack. She later said this calmed her down, as she figured her father wouldn't tell her to spend what could be her last minutes videoing if he wasn't pretty sure the alert was a mistake.My favorite reaction is probably Jim Carrey's. He was engrossed in work and missed the initial alert, but his assistant called to tell him they had 10 minutes to live. He tried calling his daughter and some other family, wondering if there was any way to get off the island, and finally realizing everything was out of his control.He explained all of this on an episode of The Tonight Show two years later (video here):Jim Carrey: And we had to say goodbye. And I sat on the lanai and looked out at the ocean, and at that point, I started going, "Okay. Well, what can I do with this last moment of time?" And I just decided to go through a list of gratitudes, and honest to God, I just could not stop thinking of wonderful things that have happened to me and blessings that I've had, so it was lovely. It was lovely. And I got to a point of grace with about two minutes to spare when I found out it wasn't actually happening. And all I was planning to do was close my eyes an be thankful, 'cause it's been a good ride.'Jimmy Fallon: What did you do when you found out that it was a fake missile test?Carrey: Then I got pissed off, and heads rolled!The front page headline in the Star-Advertiser newspaper the next day read, in giant type: OOPS! (And in smaller type: "'Wrong button' sends out false missile alert.")Later, officials said that wasn't right; it was instead an employee who was absolute, 100 percent convinced that a missile was en route, and who sent the alert -- but was simply wrong.I guess I've mentioned this theme a few times recently -- but isn't it funny that even being told you are going to die within a few minutes can turn out to be a gift? At least that's what I take away from Carrey's account. Sometimes, I suppose you value things most when you're suddenly about to lose them.As for everyone affected that day, I feel for them. It must have been hard.Then again, after it was all over, they were still in Hawaii.Jesus is AngryJesus is angry. How can Jesus be angry? If God is love, how can Jesus-who is God-get angry? Genuine love is compatible with anger.In fact, genuine love is sometimes demonstrated by anger. At times anger proves love is authentic. Let me give you an example: a friend of mine is passionate about ending modern-day slavery and human trafficking.He writes and speaks about it. He's visited Washington to meet with politicians. He has traveled to foreign countries to learn more about stopping it. He's worked hard to bring it to people's attention. I don't doubt his commitment to ending trafficking. I don't doubt his love for those in slavery. But I would doubt a claim that he never got angry about it. I know his love for the abused is real because he gets angry when he sees the abuse.Jesus gets angry about how the Jews have turned his house of prayer and mission into a house of corrupt commerce. The Court of GentilesThe court of the Gentiles was the one place on the Temple Mount where anyone could engage with the God of Israel formally. But it was clogged with commercial enterprise instead of prayer, worship and evangelism.Matt Carter writes, "Jesus levels a charge, but the charge is not unethical practices. They have twisted the purpose of the temple. Jesus is denouncing impure worship."I would add they've forgotten the purpose of the outer temple court: mission to the nations.We do that too when we make our Sunday worship experience all about our wants and needs. When we see the Lord as he truly is, we are transformed to live on mission with him 24/7.CONTEXTLast week, Ken showed us how Jesus first displayed his power at a wedding in Cana, not far from Nazareth and Capernaum. He discreetly turns water to wine demonstrating his power as Messiah to his disciples and mother. This was part of his first week of public ministry. John called it the first of his "signs," or, miracles that point to who he is and why he's come. From Capernaum, Jesus leads his family and disciples to the temple in Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover together. It's about to get dramatic.We pick it up with Jesus and his disciples in the temple in Jerusalem. This is the only temple of the Jews. It was the symbol of the nation and religion of Israel. It was the icon of their identity and the place where they 1) Met with God, and 2) atoned for their sins. SERMON Every Christian should live zealously for the Lord and his kingdom mission.Why? The answer is the message I'm about to give:It's because of his power, his passion and his promise.I. His power. (2:1-11) We saw last week how he powerfully transformed water to wine. He demonstrated this discreetly to reveal his power to his family and disciples; to help them believe he could powerfully transform our lives too.II. His passion. (2:12-17) We see his passion and zeal for his father's house. In fact, his zeal consumes him. We see this in the cross.Story by Kent Hughes, commentary on John, p. 47"One evening the great conductor Arturo Toscanini conducted Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. It was a brilliant performance, at the end of which the audience went absolutely wild! They clapped, whistled, and stamped their feet, absolutely caught up in the greatness of that performance. As Toscanini stood there, he bowed and bowed and bowed, then acknowledged his orchestra.When the ovation finally began to subside, Toscanini turned and looked intently at his musicians. He was almost out of control as he whispered,"Gentlemen! Gentlemen!" The orchestra leaned forward to listen. In a fiercely enunciated whisper Toscanini said, "Gentlemen, I am nothing." That was an extraordinary admission since Toscanini was blessed with an enormous ego.He added, "Gentlemen, you are nothing." They had heard that same message before the rehearsal. "But Beethoven," said Toscanini in a tone of adoration,"is everything, everything, everything!" This is the attitude we need toward ourselves and toward the Lord Jesus Christ. I am nothing, you are nothing, but he is everything! That was John's attitude, and it is the attitude of every authentic messenger of Christ."III. He promise. (2:18-22) We will see his promise fulfilled in our resurrection one day based on his resurrection 2,000 years ago.CONCLUSIONApplication: When we're tempted to doubt or find ourselves lacking zeal, REMEMBER THE RESURRECTION!From Tim Keller, The Songs of Jesus, p. 153"MISUNDERSTOOD. David is being scorned for his zealous devotion to God (verse 9). When he prays and repents, he is laughed at (verses 10-11). His world is not so different from ours. Even when Christianity was taken for granted by Western society, the most devoted believers were silently laughed at.Today they are also despised. The world does not understand the Gospel of grace, in which holy living is the result of humble, grateful joy, not a way to earn heaven. The world therefore sees all righteous living as self-righteousness and bigotry. We should not be surprised at this (2 Timothy 3:12), but we should also undermine this false narrative by living lives of humility, forgiveness, and sacrificial service to others."Bottom line: Every Christian should live zealously for the Lord and his kingdom mission.What about you?Peter puts it all in perspective in his first sermon:““Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.” When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭36‬-‭39‬ ‭NIV‬‬InvitationHow do we respond? Answer 2 questions:Take out a card or piece of paper right now. Write down the answer to these questions: What is God saying to me right now?What am I going to do about it? Write this down on a sheet of paper. What I hear you saying, Lord, is ___________________.[my name] is going to believe/do __________________________________________________ as a result.Finally, share this with your Home or Mission group this week when you gather as a testimony about what God is doing in your life. You don't have to get too specific to give him praise.Lord's Supper, 1 Cor 11:23-26 is good passage.Also, say something like, "Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again." (past, present, and future)PrayNOTESMany today want to use this to say we shouldn't sell things in church lobbies because we tend to think of the church building as a house of prayer and mission too. And it is to the degree that it is filled with true believers. But I'd take it further. As a part of the better, spiritual temple of God, I must make sure I don't approach my time of worship as a transactional exchange with God where I show up, maybe serve a little bit, give a little bit, pray a little bit, and then expect God to bless me because I earned it.OUTLINESOutline from Willmington's Outline Bible N/AQUESTIONS TO CONSIDERWhat do I want them to know?

Mary & Blake recap and give reaction to Outlander episode 7.15 - Written In My Own Hearts Blood. In this episode, we discuss Jamie's dramatic actions to protect Claire after she is accidentally shot, the resolution of the storylines involving William, Lord John, and Ian, as well as the continued mystery surrounding Mandy, the "creepy weird kid". We also analyze the emotional scenes between Jamie and Claire, praising the strong performances and cinematography. Additionally, we touch on the appearance of Frank's book, speculating on its significance, and the overall momentum building towards the season finale. Also in this episode: There was a lot of discussion about the character Mandy, the "creepy, weird kid", and how her behavior contrasted with the main characters. The montage at the beginning of the episode, featuring scenes from past seasons, was praised as a great way to set the tone and revisit key moments. The rescue scene for William involving Lord John and Ian was considered a bit basic, with suggestions it could have been more tense and dramatic. The relationship and interactions between Buck, Roger, and their "family" were highlighted as strong moments in the episode. The final scene with Jamie praying over the injured Claire was praised for the lack of music, creating a raw and authentic feeling. There was discussion about the potential fate of the character Jane, with the hosts speculating she may not survive the season. We commented on the strong performances, particularly from Sam Heughan as Jamie, and the effective use of lighting and cinematography in key scenes. There was anticipation about the momentum and plot threads heading into the season finale, including Claire's surgery, Jamie's resignation, and the rescue of Jane.   SUBSCRIBE TO OUTLANDER CAST: AN OUTLANDER PODCAST Apple Podcasts YouTube Spotify CONNECT WITH MARY & BLAKE  Like Our Facebook Page Join Our Facebook Group Join The #NerdClan Follow On Twitter  Follow On Instagram  UNLOCK BONUS EPISODES, PREMIUM PODCASTS & MORE -- www.JoinTheNerdClan.com Sign up  HERE for Blake's Book Club: DRUMS OF AUTUMN CHECK OUT THE BEST MERCH ON THE PLANET: THE MARY & BLAKE STORE Shop for all of our podcasts, sayings, and listener inspired designs in one easy place.

Megan & Joe go on the penultimate podcast adventure as they chit chat about Outlander Season 7, Episode 15 "Written in My Heart's Own Blood"

Mary & Blake recap and give reaction to Outlander episode 7.14 - Ye Dinna Get Used To It. In this episode, we praise Diana Gabaldon's handling of the writing, discuss the character development, particularly highlighting Lord John Gray's encounters and the relationship between William and Jane. We also touch on the pacing of the episode, noting that while it may have felt like "heavy lifting" to set up future events, Gabaldon executed it with levity and care. We also debate cheese and mold, share our theories and predictions about where the story might be headed, particularly in regards to the ongoing conflict with the British. Also in this episode: Praise for Diana Gabaldon's writing:  this episode required a lot of "heavy lifting" to set up future plot points, but they praise Gabaldon's execution, noting she was able to do so with levity and care. Analysis of Lord John Gray's character: Lord John's encounters with various people from his past, and how this is impacting his emotional state and allegiances, comparing it to listening to "tortured poets." Appreciation for the Jane-William dynamic:  the interesting relationship between Jane and William, noting how Jane serves as a foil to William's attempts to redefine himself after learning Jamie is his biological father. Speculation on Jane's fate: The hosts theorize that Jane's bold actions, such as killing a British captain, will likely lead to her demise by the season's end, and how this will profoundly impact William. Critique of the Rob Cameron storyline: boredom with this storyline, feeling it was "shoehorned in" just to get Bree back to the 18th century, and lacking a sense of urgency. Appreciation for the Ian-Rachel scene: thel ighting and character dynamics in the scene where Ian teaches Rachel how to do war paint, noting the symbolic significance of the candles behind them. Debate over historical accuracy: Claire's lack of knowledge about historical figures like Charles Lee, and speculate on how Jamie's relationship with George Washington might impact the story. Personal preferences and anecdotes: lighthearted discussion about their personal preferences, such as Blake's dislike for blue cheese and Mary's love of bangs.     SUBSCRIBE TO OUTLANDER CAST: AN OUTLANDER PODCAST Apple Podcasts YouTube Spotify CONNECT WITH MARY & BLAKE  Like Our Facebook Page Join Our Facebook Group Join The #NerdClan Follow On Twitter  Follow On Instagram  UNLOCK BONUS EPISODES, PREMIUM PODCASTS & MORE -- www.JoinTheNerdClan.com Sign up  HERE for Blake's Book Club: DRUMS OF AUTUMN CHECK OUT THE BEST MERCH ON THE PLANET: THE MARY & BLAKE STORE Shop for all of our podcasts, sayings, and listener inspired designs in one easy place.

Mary & Blake discuss everything YOU had say about to Outlander episode 7.13 - Hello Goodbye. In this episode, we discuss overall enjoyment, then dive into listener feedback covering diverse perspectives - praise for character badassery, criticism of a "cringy" love scene, and mixed reactions to wedding scenes. Discussing historical context and moral complexities of certain characters, we also recount Mary's humorous birthing class anecdote highlighting Blake's struggles. Key topics include pacing, cohesion, adaptation challenges, and Mary's clever hot chocolate analogy. Plus we have a little love for The Leftovers.  Also in this episode: We discuss the unique and endearing relationship between characters Ian and Rachel. Some listeners expressed discomfort or criticism around certain storylines, such as the length and believability of the Ian and Rachel wedding night scene, as well as confusion over the resolution of the Jerry McKenzie storyline for show-only viewers. The historical context and moral complexities surrounding characters like Lord John and William, who were slave owners, acknowledging the importance of understanding the time period. Mary shared a humorous personal anecdote about attending a birthing class with Blake, highlighting the awkward and uncomfortable moments they experienced. Listeners provided feedback on the cohesion and pacing of the episode, with some feeling it was more scattered compared to previous episodes with interwoven plotlines. We're encouraged to read the novella "A Leaf on the Wind of All Hollows" to better understand the Roger and his father storyline, and mentioned a two-part study on the topic available on their YouTube channel. We expressed hope for better cohesion and more satisfying storytelling in future episodes, while also discussing the importance of letting some mysteries remain unsolved, referencing the theme song from the show "The Leftovers." The podcast concluded with a playful reference to the song "Let the Mystery Be" by Iris Dement, emphasizing the theme of mystery and intrigue in Outlander.     SUBSCRIBE TO OUTLANDER CAST: AN OUTLANDER PODCAST Apple Podcasts YouTube Spotify CONNECT WITH MARY & BLAKE  Like Our Facebook Page Join Our Facebook Group Join The #NerdClan Follow On Twitter  Follow On Instagram  UNLOCK BONUS EPISODES, PREMIUM PODCASTS & MORE -- www.JoinTheNerdClan.com Sign up  HERE for Blake's Book Club: DRUMS OF AUTUMN CHECK OUT THE BEST MERCH ON THE PLANET: THE MARY & BLAKE STORE Shop for all of our podcasts, sayings, and listener inspired designs in one easy place.

Mary & Blake discuss everything YOU had say about to Outlander episode 7.11 - A Hundredweight Of Stones. In this episode, we discuss Claire and Lord John's intimate encounter, Ian and Rachel's relationship, Brianna confronting Rob Cameron, and the emotional reunion between Jamie and Claire. Listeners share praise for strong performances and character-driven moments, while also voicing critiques about pacing and authenticity of certain plot points.  Also in this episode: The episode received overwhelmingly positive reviews, with many listeners giving it 5+ kilt ratings, indicating it was one of the best episodes of the series. Viewers praised the strong character development and emotional performances, particularly from Caitriona Balfe as Claire and David Berry as Lord John Gray. The intimate scene between Claire and Lord John Gray was divisive, with some feeling it happened too quickly and didn't feel earned, while others appreciated the raw, honest portrayal of their grief. Viewers were invested in the storylines of Ian and Rachel, as well as Roger and Buck, and wanted to see those narratives developed further. The reveal that Jemmy may not have traveled through the stones was a shocking twist that left listeners intrigued and concerned for Brianna's family. Listeners were thrilled by Jamie's dramatic return and William's discovery of his true paternity, praising the powerful acting and emotional impact. Some felt the Rob Cameron storyline was underdeveloped and lost momentum compared to the other major plot points.

Mary & Blake recap and give reaction to Outlander episode 7.11 - A Hundredweight Of Stones. In this episode, we discuss key moments like Claire's marriage to Lord John, Bree's frying pan heroics, and William learning Jamie is his father. We praise character-driven scenes, like Lord John's "white stag" speech, while critiquing rushed pacing. Speculation swirls around Captain Richardson's offer to Claire to spy on her husband, potentially setting up a season-ending cliffhanger. Also in this episode: Claire marries Lord John Grey and they consummate the marriage, though the show does not depict the intimate details. This raises questions about the impact on Claire's relationship with Jamie. Roger and Buck continue their search for Roger's father, with Roger providing historical context about his father's wartime experiences. However, the dialogue feels a bit expository at times. Bree demonstrates her resourcefulness and bravery by using a frying pan to defend herself, echoing the "Rapunzel" fairytale. This is a standout moment that the hosts praise. At Lord John's party, the reveal that William is Jamie's son creates a dramatic confrontation, with William angrily rejecting Lord John. This sets up further conflict to come. The episode's title "A Hundredweight of Stones" is seen as an apt metaphor for the emotional burdens and weight the characters are carrying, though the show doesn't always give these moments enough time to breathe. Director Lisa Clarke and writer Sarah H. Haught bring their own styles to the episode, with mixed results in terms of pacing and character development. Lord John's poignant "white stag" speech, reflecting on the fleeting nature of love and happiness, is highlighted as a powerful, character-defining moment. We are divided on the writing choice to have Lord John bluntly reveal to William that Jamie is his father, seeing it as either an organic character moment or a forced plot device. Speculation arises that Captain Richardson's offer to Claire to spy could set up a major season-ending cliffhanger, separating Claire and Jamie once again.   SUBSCRIBE TO OUTLANDER CAST: AN OUTLANDER PODCAST Apple Podcasts YouTube Spotify CONNECT WITH MARY & BLAKE  Like Our Facebook Page Join Our Facebook Group Join The #NerdClan Follow On Twitter  Follow On Instagram  UNLOCK BONUS EPISODES, PREMIUM PODCASTS & MORE -- www.JoinTheNerdClan.com Sign up  HERE for Blake's Book Club: DRUMS OF AUTUMN CHECK OUT THE BEST MERCH ON THE PLANET: THE MARY & BLAKE STORE Shop for all of our podcasts, sayings, and listener inspired designs in one easy place.

Mary & Blake recap and give reaction to Outlander episode 7.10 - Brotherly Love. In this episode, we discuss the powerful opening scene, key plot points, and character moments, including Ian, Claire, and Roger's storylines. We praise the performances, particularly David Berry as Lord John Grey, and debate Claire's decision to accept Lord John's proposal. We also speculate about the implications of Roger's father potentially appearing in the past, and the laughable end result of Arch Bug... Also in this episode: The episode was very eventful, with many familiar faces and big things happening, including hellos, goodbyes, and surprises. The opening scene with Ian senior was praised as a beautifully written, directed, and acted moment that set the emotional tone for the episode. The pacing of the episode was criticized as feeling rushed, with Claire jumping into spy activities and surgery very quickly after arriving in Philadelphia. The Arch Bug storyline was considered poorly constructed and executed, with the villain's actions and motivations lacking coherence. The introduction of Dougal and the potential time travel implications with Roger's father were intriguing plot points that generated discussion. Rachel's manner of speaking, with her use of "thee" and "thy," was noted as taking some viewers out of the immersion, despite being historically accurate. Lord John Gray's quick thinking and proposal to Claire were seen as well-executed moments that advanced the plot. The emotional impact of Claire's grief and the flashbacks to her memories with Jamie were praised as powerful and authentic.   SUBSCRIBE TO OUTLANDER CAST: AN OUTLANDER PODCAST Apple Podcasts YouTube Spotify CONNECT WITH MARY & BLAKE  Like Our Facebook Page Join Our Facebook Group Join The #NerdClan Follow On Twitter  Follow On Instagram  UNLOCK BONUS EPISODES, PREMIUM PODCASTS & MORE -- www.JoinTheNerdClan.com Sign up  HERE for Blake's Book Club: DRUMS OF AUTUMN CHECK OUT THE BEST MERCH ON THE PLANET: THE MARY & BLAKE STORE Shop for all of our podcasts, sayings, and listener inspired designs in one easy place.

Mary & Blake discuss everything YOU had say about to Outlander episode 7.09 - Unfinished Business. In this episode, listeners share feedback on the return to Scotland, new actress as Jenny, pacing, and book-to-show changes. The hosts engage in lively discussions, sometimes playfully disagreeing. Plus we discuss the mystery about Midwestern "salads." Also in this episode: There were mixed opinions on the new actress playing Jenny, with some feeling she was a softer version of the character, while others thought she did a good job. Many listeners enjoyed the emotional reunion scenes between the Murrays, especially the conversations between young Ian and his parents. Some viewers found the reason for Claire leaving Scotland to go to America (to help Lord John's nephew) to be unconvincing or not well explained. There were comments about the pacing feeling a bit off, with the show moving quickly from Scotland to the next location. Listeners had differing opinions on Roger's internal monologues, with some finding them abrupt and unnecessary. The surprise appearances at the door, particularly Brian Fraser opening for Roger, were highlights for many viewers. There was a humorous discussion about the "salads" that are common in the Midwest, which are not actually salads but more like gelatin and fruit dishes.   SUBSCRIBE TO OUTLANDER CAST: AN OUTLANDER PODCAST Apple Podcasts YouTube Spotify CONNECT WITH MARY & BLAKE  Like Our Facebook Page Join Our Facebook Group Join The #NerdClan Follow On Twitter  Follow On Instagram  UNLOCK BONUS EPISODES, PREMIUM PODCASTS & MORE -- www.JoinTheNerdClan.com Sign up  HERE for Blake's Book Club: DRUMS OF AUTUMN CHECK OUT THE BEST MERCH ON THE PLANET: THE MARY & BLAKE STORE Shop for all of our podcasts, sayings, and listener inspired designs in one easy place.
