Limitations #RTTBROS #nightlightLimitations #RTTBROS #nightlight The Preacher Who Lost His Voice"And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power." 1 Corinthians 2:4Charles Spurgeon was known as the "Prince of Preachers," a man whose voice could fill the largest auditoriums of his day without amplification. For over thirty years, he preached to thousands every Sunday at the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London. But in his later years, something happened that would have devastated most preachers, he began to lose his voice.It started gradually. His throat would get hoarse after long sermons. Then it became harder and harder for him to project his voice to the massive crowds. Doctors told him he needed to rest, to take breaks from preaching, but Spurgeon felt the weight of responsibility for his congregation.I can only imagine how he must have felt. Here was a man whose entire ministry was built on his ability to communicate God's Word powerfully, and slowly but surely, that gift was being taken away. It would be like asking Michelangelo to sculpt with his hands tied behind his back.But you know what Spurgeon discovered during those difficult days? He learned that God's power doesn't depend on our eloquence. Some of his most powerful messages were delivered when his voice was just a whisper, when people had to lean forward and strain to hear every word.In one of his final sermons, barely able to speak above a whisper, he said something that has stayed with me for years: "I would rather speak five words from the heart than five thousand words from the head." The man who had been known for his booming voice discovered that sometimes God speaks loudest when we speak softest.Paul understood this principle when he wrote to the Corinthians. He wasn't trying to impress anyone with fancy words or clever arguments. He was depending on the Holy Spirit to take his simple message and make it powerful in the hearts of his hearers.Friend, maybe you feel like you don't have the gifts or abilities you think you need to serve God effectively. Maybe you feel like you're not eloquent enough, not smart enough, not talented enough. But remember what Spurgeon learned: God's power is made perfect in our weakness.It's not about having the loudest voice or the smoothest delivery. It's about having a heart that's surrendered to God and allowing His Spirit to work through our simple, humble efforts. Sometimes the most powerful sermons are preached not from pulpits, but from hospital beds. Sometimes the most effective witnesses are those who can barely whisper, but whose lives speak volumes about God's grace.Don't let your limitations become excuses. Let them become opportunities for God to show His strength through your weakness.
In 1550 Spanish court records show that the Augsburg armorer Kolman Helmschmied was paid an advance of 2,000 ducats for a full armour for king Philipp II. The final price for this piece was 3,000 ducats. At the same time Raphael could charge at max 170 ducats for an altarpiece. Even the Renaissances' best paid artist, Michelangelo received just 3,000 gold florins for the painting of the ceiling of the Sistine chapel. Armour, along with tapestries, were the most valuable artworks of the 15th and 16th century.That was just one set of armour made for the most powerful monarch of the time. But what about the thousands of soldiers he commanded, did they have armour? Oh yes they did. Not quite as sophisticated and certainly not as decorated, but they did. And where did these thousands of helmets and breast and back plates come from? From the same places where their prince's fancy metalwork came from, from Nürnberg and Augsburg. Their swords came from Passau and Solingen and their firearms from Suhl. How come these mostly southern Germn cities became the armories of Europe whose output clad the armies that fought the never-ending wars of the 15th, 16th and 17th century? How did they supersede Milan, the centre of weapons production in the preceding century in terms of quality, scale and availability, and create a tradition of metalworking and entrepreneurship that lasts until today?That is what we will look at in this episode.

Due giornate tra onde, chitarre distorte e passione vera: Michelangelo Rombi e Alessio Schirru raccontano l'anima del Beach Day Out, evento simbolo dell'underground sardo. Cagliari si prepara ad accogliere Beach Day Out Volume 19, il festival che da quasi vent'anni anima la spiaggia del Poetto con musica punk, rock e hardcore, proponendo un'esperienza che va oltre il semplice concerto. Un evento che nasce dal basso, dalla passione di chi vive la scena musicale indipendente e la vuole condividere. Michelangelo Rombi e Alessio Schirru, due dei principali organizzatori, ci hanno raccontato cosa c'è dietro le quinte di questo appuntamento sempre più atteso. L'idea del festival, spiegano, nasceva dall'esigenza di dare spazio alle band sarde che producevano musica originale. “All'inizio erano venti gruppi, si iniziava nel pomeriggio e si finiva all'alba”, ricorda Michelangelo. Un progetto che ha saputo crescere, aprendosi a ospiti italiani e internazionali, mantenendo però saldo il filo conduttore: musica autentica, non commerciale, fortemente identitaria. Tra scouting, passione e collaborazione: così nasce la line-up ogni anno La scelta delle band non è mai casuale. “Diamo spazio alle nuove uscite, a chi ha appena pubblicato un disco, ma anche ai gruppi giovani e emergenti dell'isola che si affacciano alla scena underground”, racconta Alessio. Fondamentale anche il lavoro di Stefano Panzeri, storico collaboratore del festival, e oggi anche l'apporto dei Cool Kids, collettivo di cui Schirru fa parte. Tra gli ospiti dell'edizione 2025 spiccano nomi come Discomostro da Milano e Burning heads dalla Francia, ma il valore aggiunto è sempre il mix tra il locale e il globale. La collaborazione con la webzine Punkadeka.it garantirà quest'anno anche la diretta streaming dell'evento, amplificando la portata nazionale e internazionale del festival. Un festival che nasce dalla sabbia, tra memoria e futuro Il Beach Day Out non è solo musica, ma anche atmosfera, libertà e condivisione. “Il palco guarda la Sella del Diavolo, il pubblico può godersi i concerti in costume, magari dopo un tuffo. È un'esperienza unica”, racconta Rombi. L'edizione di quest'anno parte al tramonto, con il calore del sole e delle chitarre distorte a colorare la spiaggia. E tra un'organizzazione sempre più rodata, amicizie che si trasformano in booking, e la voglia di rinnovarsi, si pensa già alla ventesima edizione. “Ogni anno è una sfida, ma anche un'enorme soddisfazione”, confermano entrambi. Un ricordo su tutti? “Portare in Sardegna band che ascoltavamo da adolescenti, sederci con loro a cena, condividere storie. È questo lo spirito del festival.”

Gio's July 4th fishing trip went awry, almost costing him his wedding ring. Callers discussed Gio's TV doppelganger and a golf-related ear amputation. Boomer received a Happy Gilmore club. Willie Colon called Gio a liar, which Gio refuted. Evan's European podcasts annoyed Gio, and he was unimpressed by Michelangelo's David. The Mets lost to the Royals, and the Yankees to the Cubs. Max Fried is unconcerned about his blister. The hour ended with a discussion of the Backstreet Boys at The Sphere and Gio playing Hoodie Allen's "Pretty Face."

Historically Thinking: Conversations about historical knowledge and how we achieve it
The liturgy of the Christian church is often dismissed today as archaic, arcane—or dead. But as Cosima Clara Gillhammer shows in her new book Light on Darkness: The Untold Story of the Liturgy, these ritual forms were once the very heartbeat of Western culture and continue to shape not only our cultural memory but even contemporary cultural practice.In this episode, we explore how liturgical practices shaped medieval life, art, and literature—and why echoes of the liturgy still resound today in movie soundtracks, national ceremonies, and even the architecture around us. Gillhammer argues that far from being merely theological abstractions, liturgical forms were deeply human, and gave language to joy, grief, awe, and the cycles of time. We trace how those patterns wove themselves into everything from Michelangelo's Pietà to John Trumbull's Battle of Bunker Hill—and even to James Bond's Skyfall. Far from being obscure or antique, liturgy turns out to be the roots of much what we take for granted. Light on Darkness: The Untold Story of the Liturgy is published by Reaktion. Cosima Clara Gillhammer is Career Development Fellow in English at Lady Margaret Hall, University of Oxford. She teaches and researches medieval literature, culture, and liturgy.

Like the lyrics of the opening number say, this is a show which is very in demand!

Florence was founded in the 1st century BCE as a Roman military outpost, although it came to prominence as a centre of commerce and the arts in the 14th to 16th centuries CE. The Florentine method of speech even became the Italian language. Some of the city's most famous exports are Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo, Michelangelo, and Niccolo Machiavelli, along with the Medici family. You can see the tombs of Galileo, Michelangelo, and Machiavelli in the Basilica of Santa Croce. But that's not all you can find in this Tuscan city. From the mythological scenes to statues of Roman gods present in the Uffizi, Florence has a range of odd curiosities and folk traditions that are worth seeing.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Selasa, 1 Juli 2025Bacaan: Mazmur 31:17"Buatlah wajahmu bercahaya atas hambaMu, selamatkanlah aku oleh kasih setiaMu!"Renungan: Selama hampir 100 tahun, sebongkah besar marmer yang tak terbentuk dan cacat tergeletak di taman sebuah Katedral di Florence, Italia. Kemudian pada tahun 1501, seorang pemuda diminta untuk melakukan sesuatu dengan marmer yang cacat itu. Selama 3 tahun ia memahat dan membentuk marmer tersebut dengan keahliannya. Akhirnya terciptalah sebuah patung Daud setinggi 5,5 m. Ketika patung itu diperlihatkan, muridnya berkata kepada pemuda itu, "Tuan, patung ini hanya kurang satu hal: kemampuan berbicara!" Pemuda itu adalah Michelangelo. Sebongkah batu marmer yang cacat dan tidak berguna, dapat menjadi hasil karya yang mengagumkan karena ada seseorang yang mau memberikan keahlian yang terbaik yang dimilikinya. Kalau hari ini kita merasa bahwa banyak orang tidak suka dengan kehadiran kita, karena kita seorang yang menyebalkan, seorang pecundang, seorang yang tidak dianggap berguna, sehingga membuat kita putus asa, datanglah pada Yesus. Dia seorang pemahat yang lebih unggul dari Michelangelo. Dia mampu mengubah sisi negatif kita menjadi sesuatu yang berguna yang dapat menjadi kebanggaan bagi banyak orang. Serahkan diri kita seutuhnya pada-Nya, biarkan Dia mengubah kita dan jangan keraskan hati kita agar Dia mampu memahat pribadi kita menjadi pribadi yang terberkati. Tuhan Yesus memberkati.Doa:Tuhan Yesus, masuklah dalam hatiku. Pahatlah setiap bongkahan hatiku yang telah mengeras karena luka batin, kekecewaan, kemarahan, kepahitan, dan dendam yang membuat kehadiranku tidak memberi kenyamanan pada orang lain. Pahatlah juga perkataanku, karena tanpa kusadari begitu banyak orang menghindar dariku, karena perkataanku yang sering menyakitkan, selalu mencari kesalahan orang lain, dan selalu menyebarkan gosip-gosip murahan. Ubahlah aku menjadi pribadi penuh berkat, sehingga kehadiranku selalu dinantikan oleh banyak orang. Amin. (Dod).

What makes billionaires different isn't just their bank accounts—it's their mindset. Christopher Kai has met over 100 billionaires throughout his career, and he's discovered they share a fundamental belief: they see themselves as no different from anyone else who has created something significant. From shoveling snow as a seven-year-old in Queens to delivering keynotes on global stages across five countries, Kai's journey exemplifies how authentic storytelling can transform your life and career. As founder of Gifted Professional Speakers and advisor to Fortune 500 companies, his philosophy is refreshingly simple: "Your story is a gift to the world." The fascinating science behind Kai's approach comes from Stanford University research showing leaders who tell great stories are 22 times more memorable than those who don't. This isn't just academic theory—Kai has proven it works in corporate boardrooms, on luxury yachts with billionaires, and even in Saudi Arabia where cultural barriers might otherwise prevent meaningful connection. For those struggling with public speaking anxiety, Kai offers both compassion and practical wisdom. He reveals the evolutionary reasons behind our fear and shares his own journey from pacing nervously before presentations to commanding stages worldwide. His "Three C's of Explosive Success"—connections, credibility, and communication—provide a framework for anyone looking to amplify their voice and impact. Ready to transform your story into your superpower? This conversation will show you why, as Michelangelo said, "The challenge most of us have is not that we aim too high and miss it; we aim too low and reach it."

Scott Thompson, known by his artist name 7saturns7, is a singer-songwriter from Southwest Florida making waves in the underground anti-pop scene. His music blends catchy melodies with a raw, melancholic edge, creating a sound that's both modern and emotionally charged.His latest release, COLOROFVIOLET, marks his third single and shows off a shift in style—from the ambient vibe of his 2023 track poison to a more intense, hyperpop-inspired sound full of distortion, dreamy synths, and saturated production. The song tells a hauntingly personal story of heartbreak and betrayal, drawing inspiration from unexpected places, including Michelangelo's Study of a Mourning Woman.As co-founder of the indie label bønesincali, alongside producer Saint Austin, 7saturns7 is building a growing catalogue of music that's small but steadily gaining attention for its bold sound and emotional honesty. Fans of artists like Brakence and Glaive will find something to love—but Scott's voice is all his own.Highlights from Toby Gribben's Friday afternoon show on Shout Radio.

In THIS episode of Who Would Win Unleashed, the cybernetically enhanced Spartan super-soldier Master Chief (championed by James Gavsie) takes on the lean, green, ninja machine known as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (repped by Eric Holmes) in an all-out brawl across sewer tunnels, rooftops, and UNSC drop zones!Armed with Mjolnir armor, military-grade tactics, AI support from Cortana, and a weapons locker full of alien-slaying firepower, Master Chief enters the battlefield as the embodiment of human perfection through science and war. But the TMNT aren't just pizza-powered punks—they're a mutant brotherhood of martial arts mastery: Leonardo's precision, Donatello's tech smarts, Raphael's raw aggression, and Michelangelo's unpredictably wild style combine into a chaotic ballet of turtle-powered teamwork.As plasma grenades meet flying nunchaku and energy swords clash with twin katanas, this isn't just a battle—it's a clash of philosophies: lone-wolf military precision versus family-fueled ninja synergy.Join hosts James and Eric as they dive deep into comic-book lore, gaming stats, ninja scrolls, Halo kill-streaks, sewer-level tactics, and next-gen durability debates. Will Earth's last Spartan crush the turtle squad with tactical supremacy? Or will the half-shell heroes prove that four brothers are stronger than one lone legend?You can now support us on Patreon at Patreon.com/WhoWouldWinShowCheck out the Who Would Win YouTube Channel!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvvgEElLPGQG2GXkqMhQ5JwJoin our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/whowouldwinshowFollow u son Twitter: @jamesgavsie @whowouldwinshowFollow us on IG and Threads: @WhoWouldWinShow @jamesgavsie @theericholmesCheck out the Who Would Win Merch Store:https://saywerd.co/collections/who-whould-win-merchSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/who-would-win/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacySupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/who-would-win/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacySupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/who-would-win/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacySupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/who-would-win/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacySupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/who-would-win/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacySupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/who-would-win/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
After decades of chasing external wins, Sande Golgart decided to stop running. In Part Two, he shares the uncomfortable, intentional work of stepping back—what it took to unplug from achievement addiction and start redesigning a life that fits from the inside out.This isn't a story about reinvention through ambition. It's a blueprint for growth through subtraction: less noise, more clarity; fewer roles, deeper connection; no hustle, just truth. From mending his marriage to redefining success, Sande opens up about what he calls “Life Peels”—and why letting go is the new way up.Key Highlights of Our Interview:Listening Over Learning“I wasn't trying to fix anything. I just got quiet and listened.”**Sande explains how stepping back from self-optimization gave him the clarity he had missed for years.The Life Peels Method“David was always in the marble. Michelangelo just removed what wasn't him.”**He introduces his philosophy of growth by subtraction—peeling away the excess to uncover what truly fits.When Growth Isn't More“I've had enough of strategy decks and hero stories. I want to feel ease in my own skin.”**Why he redefined ambition not as stacking wins but as feeling aligned, grounded, and whole.Relearning Partnership“When the noise died down, we both realized we'd never had stillness before.”**How the transition to an empty nest revealed unspoken gaps in his marriage—and led to new connection.Letting Life Lead“I used to control everything. Now I just pay attention—and things unfold better than I planned.”**What happened when he stopped pushing for outcomes and started trusting the process._____________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Sande Golgart --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

Do your partner and closest friends support and validate your ideal self? Today, we're diving into the intriguing concept of the Michelangelo phenomenon in relationships. This idea suggests that the people closest to us can help us reveal our best selves, much like Michelangelo chipping away at stone to uncover a beautiful sculpture. Tune in to hear how actively supporting each other's growth by affirming the qualities and aspirations that align with your ideal self, leads to enhanced satisfaction and personal growth for both you and your partner. Whether you're in a romantic relationship or nurturing close friendships, this episode is all about fostering connections that bring out the best in both you and those you care about. Takeaways:The Michelangelo phenomenon highlights how those closest to you can help reveal your best self, promoting personal growth. Affirmation from a partner can help to chip away at self-doubt, allowing you to express your truest self. It's important to assess if your relationships support your growth or hold you back based on outdated perceptions. Being a supportive partner means affirming strengths and aspirations, not imposing our own ideals on others. Personal growth is often viewed as an individual pursuit, but relationships can significantly enhance this journey. To foster healthy relationships, we should communicate our personal goals and encourage each other's growth.
From Michelangelo's David and Machiavelli's The Prince to the plays of Shakespeare, the Renaissance produced some of history's most astounding works of culture, art and innovation. But can focusing on these glittering creations obscure the messy and often violent reality of actually living through the era? Speaking to Ellie Cawthorne, Ada Palmer highlights the complexities of this so-called 'golden age' – including corrupt popes, devastating plagues and why Michelangelo hated painting. (Ad) Ada Palmer is the author of Inventing the Renaissance: Myths of a Golden Age (Bloomsbury, 2025).

Imagine a world without Mozart or Michelangelo, Einstein or Edison. Famous for their creativity, a "mysterious force" that psychiatrist and ADHD expert, Ed Hallowell, says is a commonality in neurodiverse people. Neurodiversity is a relatively new term, but the thinking behind it has been going on for a while. There's increasing evidence that what we know today as Autism, ADHD, BipolarDisorder, Schizophrenia, and Dyslexia may have been a way for us to extend our species chances of survival. And yet the thinking around brain variations like ADHD is that it's a deficiency, something that needs to be fixed. Sandra Bourque's two-part series, The Myth of Normal traces the social and cultural response to neurodiversity and whether there's a way back to seeing this way of thinking as an advantage.
For decades, prolific Cuban spies working in the U.S. government, serving in high profile positions with top security clearances, have evaded American intelligence officials. Correspondent Cecilia Vega reports from Washington, D.C. and Miami on the stories of two such undercover agents, former U.S. Ambassador Victor Manuel Rocha and onetime Pentagon official Ana Montes. Cuba continues to supply one of the most dangerous exports to American adversaries around the world: American secrets. For centuries, the giants of the art world, like Michelangelo, have made a beeline for the world-famous Carrara marble quarries of Northern Tuscany, turning the white stone into masterpieces. Now, a fleet of robots has moved in, carving with pinpoint precision and sparking an art world fracas. Correspondent Bill Whitaker travels to Carrara and jumps into the fray: can a robot make art? While many contemporary A-listers are turning to robots for help, many of Italy's hammer-and-chisel brigade are up in arms. They claim Italy's artistic heritage is on the line. Many teenagers want to become pop stars, but few convince their parents to let them pack their bags and move to another country to make it big. That's precisely what Dua Lipa did when she was 15 years old, trading Pristina, Kosovo, for London. Correspondent Anderson Cooper talks with her about her journey from unknown songwriter to international sensation.

This week, Scott sat down with a particularly baritone cast of Lawfare colleagues—co-host emeritus Benjamin Wittes, Foreign Policy Editor Dana Stuster, and Senior Editor (aka Legal Correspondent) Roger Parloff—to discuss the week's biggest national security news stories, including:“Let's Sheikh On It.” President Trump completed a surprisingly historic trip to the Persian Gulf last week, which began with the type of fanfare that Trump loves and only Saudi Arabia can provide and ended with the controversial gift of a new Air Force One from Qatar at the president's reported request. In between, however, Trump reiterated his calls for an end to the Gaza conflict, became directly involved in negotiating the release of the last living American-Israeli hostage from Hamas, and announced a dramatic about-face in U.S. sanctions policy toward the new regime in Syria that caught even his closest advisers by surprise—all measures that are unlikely to be greeted warmly by the man who has traditionally been Trump's closest regional ally, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. How big a pivot point was Trump's trip? And what could its implications be for U.S. policy towards the region?“Not Retiring from a Fight.” The Supreme Court issued an unprecedented third opinion off its emergency docket this past week in the inaptly named A.A.R.P. v. Trump, part of the ongoing litigation over the Trump administration's controversial efforts to remove Venezuelan nationals under the Alien Enemies Act. In a 7-2 ruling, the Court held that the summary notice and opportunity to challenge that U.S. officials had provided to some individuals prior to their removal was inadequate. But as litigation through the lower courts continues, what impact is this holding likely to have on the administration's broader immigration policies?“Shell Shocked.” Former FBI Director James Comey found himself at the center of an unlikely controversy this week, when his decision to relay a photo of shells arranged to form the numbers “8647” that he reportedly found on the beach was interpreted as a death threat against President Trump, triggering a Secret Service interview and potentially more legal consequences to come. How seriously should this incident be taken? And what does it tell us about the Trump administration's use of prosecutorial discretion?In Object Lessons, as white smoke rose over the Vatican, Roger also turned his gaze heavenward—diving into Benjamin Blech and Roy Doliner's “The Sistine Secrets” to uncover the subtexts Michelangelo left behind. Inspired by the same papal events, Scott turned to Conclave for a peek inside the process. Ben planted seeds of solidarity and resilience (or was that resistance?) across from the Russian embassy. And Dana's incoming students at Franklin and Marshall College are about to share in his appreciation for Osamu Dazai's “The Setting Sun.”To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
