Grab a beer tonight as we wrap up our series on the Wendigo! First up: Swift Runner, the six-foot-three Cree trapper who led his wife, six kids, and elderly mother-in-law into the bush for the winter of 1879 and walked out alone. We're talking starvation nightmares, marrow-boiled bones, and that gallows scene where he sang a Cree death song, cracked a joke about “Swift Runner's stew,” and kicked the trapdoor himself. Then we jump over to Sucker Lake for Jack Fiddler, the legendary shaman, fourteen-time Wendigo slayer, and the guy locals begged to “fix” possessed relatives before they went full cannibal. You'll hear how two mercy killings put him on a collision course with the Mounties, why he ended up cooking rabbit for his captors while still in leg irons, and how he slipped those irons, walked into the spruce, and hanged himself with the same snare line he'd used on suspected Wendigos. We wrap with the culture clash that followed. Missionaries, headline-hungry reporters, and a jury stuck between Cree tradition and Canadian law, and why modern psychiatry finally kicked “Wendigo psychosis” out of the textbooks. https://www.necronomipod.com https://www.patreon.com/necronomipod Sponsored by BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.com/necro Learn more about your ad choices.

It's a story of joyful mission service with two LCMS Lutheran Lady Missionaries! In this delightful conversation (recorded in person at the LWML Convention in Omaha), the Ladies welcome Deaconess Carol Halter, the LCMS's longest-serving missionary, and Chelsea Irwin, one of the youngest LCMS missionaries, to share their stories of serving as international missionaries.   Did they always want to serve overseas? What do they actually *do* as a missionary? How have they seen Jesus at work in the lives of the people they serve? Did Carol's story *really* influence Chelsea in her vocational path?  Deaconess Carol Lee Halter has served as an evangelistic missionary among the Chinese people in Hong Kong since 1981. From 1969 to 1981, Carol served as a missionary with the Chinese Lutheran Church of the Holy Spirit in San Francisco. For three and a half years before that, she was a volunteer missionary in Hong Kong. Carol does humanitarian, evangelistic and educational work among Chinese people of all ages who live in Hong Kong. Her prayer is that all Chinese people will hear the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ — especially from each other.  Chelsea Irwin serves the Lord through The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) in the Eurasia region as missionary coordinator for volunteer opportunities. Based out of Český Těšín, Czech Republic, she works with LCMS missionaries and local church partners to place and send volunteers to serve in Eurasia. These individuals or groups engage in projects such as English Bible Camps, theological education and mission education, to name a few. Chelsea seeks to challenge volunteers to live out the Great Commission by viewing each day as a mission trip. She encourages them to support and stay connected to the Eurasia region, as well as serving in their own churches and communities.    To learn more, check out the following links:    Deaconess Carol Halter – The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod  Chelsea Irwin – The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod  International Mission – The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod   LCMS International Mission Facebook Page  How you can serve: Missionary Service – The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod   Erin's *other* podcast: 5 Minutes with a Missionary Archives – KFUO Radio   Connect with the Lutheran Ladies on social media in The Lutheran Ladies' Lounge Facebook discussion group (facebook.com/groups/LutheranLadiesLounge) and on Instagram @lutheranladieslounge.

Last week, the Vatican welcomed thousands of Internet evangelists to Rome for the Jubilee for Digital Missionaries and Influencers. Why would they do this? Why does it matter? What are the dangers of Catholics entangling themselves in Influencer Culture? And what does Emily really think about the word “Influencer”? We're tackling all that and more this week, on Visitation Sessions. (Also, after we recorded this episode, Emily got word that a problem at the printers will be delaying the release of Around the Catholic Table by a few weeks.

The urohs – a skirt with intricate embroidery – has cultural and economic significance to the women of Pohnpei in the Federated States of Micronesia.This passion is shared by many of us women across the Pacific, whether it's a mu'u mu'u, a meri blouse, a puletasi or an island dress.This clothing was introduced by missionaries for so-called modesty, but since then women have embraced it and made it their own.But as our fashion industry grows, so do the threats.Mass production overseas is creating a new challenge for the urohs, while other parts of the Pacific face the theft of motifs and icons.How do we protect this fashion that's become part of our culture?Hear from Dr Emelihter Kihleng, who did her PhD dissertation on the Pohnpei skirt and her first published collection of poems is entitled Urohs.This week's episode of Sistas, Let's Talk is a repeat of the show broadcast on the 1st August 2024

SummaryIn this episode of the Bible and Theology Matters podcast, Dr. Paul Weaver discusses the Book of Galatians with Dr. Michael Burer. They explore the historical context, the occasion for Paul's passionate letter, and the theological implications of the crisis faced by the early church. The conversation delves into the identity of the Jewish Christian missionaries who challenged Paul's teachings and the significance of justification by faith. The episode emphasizes the importance of understanding the early church's struggles with the law and faith, and how these issues remain relevant today.Takeaways-Every New Testament epistle was written for a reason.-Paul's letter to the Galatians addresses specific needs of the early church.-Jewish Christian missionaries challenged Paul's teachings on faith and law.-The crisis in Galatia was a theological and communal departure from the gospel.-Paul's strong tone was a response to confusion among the churches.-Understanding the historical context helps clarify the message of Galatians.-The debate over North and South Galatia impacts the interpretation of the letter.-Paul's argument emphasizes justification by faith alone.-The law served as a tutor to lead us to Christ.-The early church wrestled with the relationship between faith and the law.

"  I wish I had this knowledge at the age of 12 or even 8 when I was baptized. And I know it was probably preached to me, but I wish I would've grasped it. But I wish I knew who I was before. I wish I knew that I was truly a son of God. You can figure out who you are by gaining a relationship with your Father in Heaven. It's real. It's almost tangible. There's times where I say prayers and I feel the spirit so strongly that I'm speechless, you know? I think if we really try to get close to Heavenly Father, He's not going to hold back."September 5th & 6th Provo COME BACK TO CHRIST EVENT Tickets can be purchased at https://www.comebackpodcast.org/come-back-to-christ-event-september-5-6-utah-valley-convention-center-provo-ut-2/Cozy Earth code COMEBACK for 40% off https://cozyearth.com/Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% offhttps://serveclothing.com/00:00 Struggles with Church and Addiction06:12 Will's Early Childhood and Family Background07:43 Impact of Missionaries and Church Activities19:23 Realization and Return to Faith35:31 A Pivotal Bishop Interview45:41 Mission Challenges and Growth56:09 Advice for Those Who Feel They Don't Belong01:01:02 Closing Thoughts and GratitudeIf you have a story to share please contact ashly.comebackpodcast@gmail.comFor business inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.comCome Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell

E.Z., Mark, and Oscar retrace Ray's evangelism journey across Tahiti, Fiji, Australia, New Zealand, and Hawaii, experiencing both challenges and powerful encounters as they shared the gospel. From late-night partiers in Tahiti to a weeping man in Fiji, they saw firsthand how the message of Christ can reach hearts in unexpected ways. Along the way, they used creativity, cultural connections, and boldness to open doors for conversation. Visiting places significant to Ray's faith journey made the experience even more meaningful. In a concluding Q&A, the guys offered practical evangelism advice, encouraged using downtime for spiritual growth, affirmed the role of women in sharing the gospel, and reminded listeners that God's grace makes us worthy, not our past. Send us a textThanks for listening!

7/9/25 - St. Gaspar del Bufalo (1786–1837) was a Roman priest and founder of the Missionaries of the Precious Blood. Arrested and exiled for refusing to swear allegiance to Napoleon, Gaspar returned after years of imprisonment to a war-torn Italy, where he fearlessly preached missions in remote and lawless regions, often facing violence and death threats. He reached out to bandits, prisoners, and the spiritually abandoned, calling them to conversion through the saving power of Christ's Precious Blood. Known for his fiery sermons, unwavering loyalty to the Pope, and deep Marian devotion, St. Gaspar was a reformer who renewed the faith in one of the darkest periods of Italian history.

Like the Jews in Babylon or the Christians in Galatia, we live in a secular pagan culture soaked in sex, violence, gluttony, and material excess. Many are tempted to adopt the lifestyle of our neighbors. But God is calling couples to be missionaries.

Last week Brian and Louise Hogan, trainers to church planters and former missionaries to Mongolia, shared about their efforts to plant a church in Mongolia—and the high cost they paid for serving there when their infant son died. This week, listen as they unwrap some of the principles they learned in that process, lessons they are now teaching to pastors and church leaders around the world, including hostile areas and restricted nations where VOM works. Brian, the author of There's a Sheep in My Bathtub and An A-Z of Near-Death Adventures, says that many in Western churches want to “buy a box” and follow a checklist for church planting, skipping the difficult process of seeking the Holy Spirit's wisdom and guidance. He challenges church planters to empty themselves of their own culture and learn the people and culture of where they are church planting, while always keeping in step with the New Testament. “If we don't see it in the New Testament,” Brian says, “then we're not going to institute it on the nations.” Brian and Louise also share how generous and missions-minded the church in Mongolia is. They ask, “What can we do to obey Jesus?” As Brian & Louise train Mongolian missionaries to go out to the nations, these radical church planters know that the core of missions is the church. They are not willing that anyone should be unreached. A nation that once sent out violent conquerors is now sending missionaries committed to conquering hearts with the Prince of Peace. Please pray for Mongolian Christians, and for church planters throughout the world as they work and sacrifice to bring every tribe, tongue, and nation into fellowship with Christ. Listen also for a special testimony from a former prisoner for Christ in Uzbekistan, Dmitry “David” Shestakov.

On this episode of The Evangelism Podcast, I connect with my  old friend Apostle Orenta J.S. Macauley, (I call him Solomon) from Sierra Leone. We talk about what God is doing in West Africa. Prepare to be inspired as was talk about how to catch, keep, and spread the fire of revival. 

Brian and Louise Hogan, missionaries and church planters in Mongolia, responded to God's call with obedience. They arrived in the city of Erdenet in the early 1990s; there were no churches in the city. After the conversion of 14 teenage girls, they witnessed the birth and growth of a church community. However, as Scripture reminds us, forward motion in God's kingdom often awakens spiritual resistance. As Brian noted, "Throughout history, whenever the Kingdom has advanced, someone has had to pay a terrible price." For the Hogans, that terrible price was the sudden death of their newborn son, who passed away on Christmas Eve due to sudden infant death syndrome. In the depths of grief and isolation, Brian and Louise felt God's closeness. They were aware that Christians around the world were praying for them. Louise found strength through a question inspired by Elisabeth Elliot: “Was I called? Was I chosen? And did I obey?” She says it should not matter what God does with our obedience; we are simply called to obey. Despite their loss, the Hogans chose to remain in Mongolia, grieving alongside their Mongolian Christian family. Their suffering became a powerful testimony of hope and resurrection in a culture unfamiliar with such concepts. In their loss, they were able to share unshakable Christian hope: “We are going to see our son again.” Brian is the author of There's a Sheep in my Bathtub and An A to Z of Near-Death Adventures.
