Acts 3 - Evan McFarlane (9 August 2026) by St Matthew's Shenton Park

Fremantle Church Live 09/08/2026 Sermon Series: Beyond Us: Becoming the Church God Is Building Sermon: Postures of Belonging Scripture: Romans 12 Preacher: Angus McFarlane Our Sermons can be found on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Podbean. © Fremantle Church 2026

This is the Annual Gray's Inn Reading 2026.The lecture was delivered within three months of Sir Andrew McFarlane's retirement after 21 years on the Family Bench. Whilst the phrase ‘un-plugged' may not be appropriate, it is anticipated that the lecturer will no longer feel restrained by judicial caution when commenting upon the future development of Family Justice. In addition to a focus on the future of adoption law and the need for significant reform in relation to the financial rights of cohabitants, the lecturer will use a perspective gained from 8 years as the judicial Head of Family Justice to offer suggestions for reform of the system itself.This lecture was recorded by The Rt Hon Sir Andrew McFarlane on the 15th of June 2026Andrew McFarlane was called to the Bar in 1977 and practiced in chambers in Birmingham until 1993 when he moved to specialist family law chambers in London. He appeared at all levels of court including the House of Lords and the European Court of Human Rights. He was appointed as a QC in 1998. In April 2005 he was appointed to the High Court, Family Division and was for 5 years the Family Division Liaison Judge for the Midland Circuit. He was the legal member of the Government ‘Family Justice Review' Panel. In July 2011 he was appointed to be a Lord Justice of Appeal sitting full time in the Court of Appeal. On the 28th July 2018 Sir Andrew succeeded Sir James Munby as President of the Family Division and Head of Family Justice; he is due to retire as President at Easter 2026.Together with the late David Hershman he is the co-author of a loose-leaf legal text book entitled “Children: Law and Practice”. In addition, he has contributed to other publications and lectured throughout the UK and abroad.Sir Andrew has been a trustee of YoungMinds (the national young person's mental health charity) and is Patron of HOPE Family Centre (Bromyard) and of a prisoner support charity ‘Not Beyond Redemption'. In addition to being Chancellor of the Diocese of Exeter, Sir Andrew was Chairman of the Church of England Clergy Discipline Commission and President of Clergy Discipline Tribunals for 5 years until 2019. He has been a native of Herefordshire and Worcestershire for over 35 years and is a lay canon of Hereford Cathedral.The transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/grays-inn-26Gresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

Acts 2 - Evan McFarlane (2 August 2026) by St Matthew's Shenton Park

This Week on the Toy Power Podcast; even though we are Celebrating our 10th Year of Podcasting; we unfortunately exhausted all our energy on the Previous SDCC Reveals & Announcements Ep. So we are giving you a ReIssue episode instead from the Vault. (Originally Posted as Ep #143 - from October 2019). Original blurb: It’s a very special ep as we’re joined by not one, but two of favourite guests in Davey Damaged and Scotty so that’s right – it’s a Homer episode! Trent takes us through a vintage retrospective look at The Addams family by Playmates. Perfectly timed for Halloween, we wonder what could have been with this short-lived line and look to the future of the franchise as a new movie approaches. What characters didn’t get made, which ones make the camera glow and where does MC Hammer fit into it all? We make the jump to Show and Tell as Davey tries to trump us all with a purchase so large, we doubt it will actually fit in his toy room! There’s some DC, MOTU and even Final Fantasy options to choose from. Frank gives a lovely tribute showing that sometimes, the value of a toy; lays in more than its sticker price. Then it’s Quiz time and with Davey onboard, anything is possible. To say this episode goes off the rails is putting it mildly – but on the plus side we learnt that Trent can’t hold his liquor, Ben thinks photos record sound, Space Jam was an event and Rick Moranis is Trent’s muse. So hold on for this crazy ride that also serves as a farewell for one of the team…Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's so so SO much stuff to cover, we just hit record and took our eyes off the clock. We go through all the big player companies (and a few surprises as well) to bring you the biggest review of San Diego Comic-Con 2026 ever! Who wins? Who surprises us? Who dissapoints us? How many Shuttup and Take my Money's are we throwing out there? Strap in because this is hands down our longest episode EVER! Best of luck to Lego Master Trent who finds out if he's winner today!

Kyle Quinn and Tom Kelly analyze the Philadelphia Phillies' decision to call up pitcher Alex McFarlane directly from Double-A to bolster the bullpen. They debate whether the team is a postseason lock and discuss trade deadline priorities, including the need for starting pitching and outfield help.

Francisco Rojas is here with a new Phillies Today episode. He discusses the Phils losing 2 of 3 to the Mets, including another loss when having their fifth starter spot on the mound. Also, Francisco talks about what it could mean for Gage Wood with Alex McFarlane being called up. Lastly, a preview of the upcoming series against the back-to-back defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers.

This Week on the Toy Power Podcast; we dive back into our regular News Segment - with quite a bit to cover!

Todd McFarlane returns to The Comic Source for a wide-ranging conversation about the past, present and future of Spawn. Todd explains how drawings he created as a teenager in 1977 inspired the upcoming Spawn '77 project with Mark Spears, why the new story must carefully work around established Hellspawn mythology and what impressed him about Spears' atmospheric interpretation of the concept. He also details his unusual collaboration with J. Scott Campbell, in which both artists created distinct finished versions of the same original sketches, and discusses the hidden differences fans can discover between their covers. The conversation also explores McFarlane's limited-edition enamel pin program, his commitment to honoring announced production numbers and the importance of maintaining trust with collectors. Todd even shares a cinematic moment he wrote for the Spawn movie and imagines Jamie Foxx's Al Simmons delivering the line, "I wasn't hiding. I was waiting." The episode closes with McFarlane reflecting on creative freedom, longevity and why surviving long enough to continue making comics may be the greatest victory of all.   Links: The Comic Source: https://linktr.ee/thecomicsource Todd McFarlane Productions: https://mcfarlane.com McFarlane Toys Store: https://mcfarlanetoysstore.com J.

This week, we welcomed back long-time friend of the show, Militaria legend, astute journalist, collector, historian, and author of Combat Threads, Charles McFarlane. The first of a two-part series, we explore the beginnings of his writing career, his recent outdoors adventures, what pieces of vintage military gear still hold their own, the intersection of modern military clothing and outdoor gear, the WW2 distribution system, the “Tactical Military Industrial Complex”, and a slew of other topics.

In this episode of YES, BRAND, Hersh Rephun sits down with Hakeem Bourne McFarlane for a raw, powerful conversation about addiction, identity, masculinity, discipline, and what it actually means to choose yourself.For Hakeem, “Choose Yourself” is not a slogan. It was born from grief, collapse, masking, substances, jail, and the long work of rebuilding a life from the inside out.Hersh and Hakeem explore:Why choosing yourself is not selfishThe difference between being a good man and being good at being a manHow achievement can become camouflage for griefWhy discipline is freedom, not punishmentThe danger of masking pain with productivityHow public accountability can become an integrity loopWhy what we consume shapes who we becomeHow vices quietly become identity substitutesAnd why your story should be the root of your brandHakeem also shares the five-pillar Choose Yourself process, his path through addiction and recovery, and how he turned personal transformation into a community, movement, and message.At its core, this episode asks:What version of yourself are you choosing when nobody is watching?--Hersh's new book, SELLING THE TRUTH: A ‘Semoir' with Insights for Life & Business is a semi memoir drawing on his adventures as an Authority Advisor and Standup Comedian. It is part business book, part happiness formula for life, and an amuseful read, whether you're building a business or burnishing your self-image.You can kickstart your own messaging evolution with a one-on-one 5-Minute Fix.Take the 60-second Get Off Your Assets Quiz, and find other resources here: https://www.hershrephun.com/selling-the-truth/

Today we're talking to Hakeem Bourne McfarlaneHakeem's story:“I don't come from a clean origin story.I come from a real one.I grew up an only child inside addiction, instability, and silence. My parents loved me but they were fighting their own demons and I learned early how to self-regulate, self-soothe, and self-protect. I was mixed race, never fully fitting in anywhere, always adapting, always observing, always trying to earn belonging instead of feeling it. The Sports Field was where I thrived and was appreciated. Then my little brother arrived when I was 10 and for six years, I finally knew purpose outside myself. When he died from cancer, something in me hardened. Grief turned into anger, anger turned into defiance, authority felt unsafe. The structure felt like control. I carried that fracture into sports, chasing identity through performance.I went Division I… then Division II… then Division III. I dropped out. My body broke: five knee surgeries, chronic pain, identity collapse. With no structure left, I spiraled. Addiction followed—substances, chaos, numbing, distraction. I was able to pull myself out to receive my bachelors and 2 years as an all american collegiate football player. Eventually after sports were gone, the suppressed anger and loss of identity led to incarceration. That was the moment I couldn't outrun anymore.I didn't get saved. I got honest.Recovery wasn't just sobriety.. it was rebuilding my life from systems, not slogans. I learned how triggers reveal patterns, how the environment shapes identity, and how discipline can be a form of self-respect instead of punishment. I built what became the Choose Yourself process: foundation before motivation, structure before freedom, integrity before identity.I transitioned into sales, partnered with my uncle in a liquor company. I learned how pressure reveals character and eventually moved to Manhattan as top salesman in the company... not to escape my past but to integrate it into my future. That's where Choose Yourself became a movement not just a method.Today, I speak from lived cycles: collapse, rebuild, test, refine. I don't inspire from theory... I translate pain into process. My story resonates with people who've fallen off the path, questioned authority, battled addiction, lost family, rebuilt bodies, rebuilt belief, and are ready to stop repeating patterns with better excuses.If your audience values truth over polish, accountability over comfort, and hope that's earned- not borrowed - I don't just tell my story.I help people recognize theirs and choose themselves before life chooses for them.”Connect with Hakeem:https://chooseyourself.info/ https://www.instagram.com/bigdreamhakeem/ What resonated most with you?DM me on IG www.instagram.com/liveintechnicolor_  If you enjoyed this episode, leave a rating and a review.Remember - you're amazing and thank you for being here!With Love, BaibaSupport the show
