With personal stories, biblical insight, and a look behind the scenes of sermon preparation, this conversation brings fresh clarity to a passage we usually skim over. Learn why being faithful over fresh matters more than ever this season, and how God uses even the most broken branches to bring about redemption. Perfect for anyone feeling like their home—or heart—isn't what they hoped this Christmas.  Like, share, and comment if this episode hit home.

A year after Part I, the Wicked movie franchise returns with For Good, an adaptation of the second act of the Broadway musical. In this episode of Hyperspace Theories, Tricia Barr and B.J. Priester examine how Wicked: For Good takes advantage of the movie format, and the passage of time since the original musical was written, to strengthen the character arcs of Elphaba, Glinda, and Fiyero in tandem with the story's themes. Like Part I, For Good also maximizes the opportunity to include locations, action sequences, and other visual elements which wouldn't be possible in a Broadway stage production. The two new songs written for Wicked: For Good, Elphaba's "No Place Like Home" early in the movie and Glinda's "Girl in the Bubble" near the end, reinforce the two characters' motivations for their crucial decisions in the story. Each song also feels especially timely, directly addressing themes of resistance to oppression, the influence of propaganda, and the emotional and psychological obstacles that sometimes must be overcome to make the right choice and do the right thing. Although the characters had similar motivations in the original Broadway show, the new songs for Wicked: For Good reflect the impact of recent political and social events to drive home themes that perhaps felt a little more abstract and distant to many listeners two decades ago. Along the path of their own respective journeys, Elphaba and Glinda also change the other Wicked characters around them, and ultimately Oz itself. Yet For Good also takes place in the background of The Wizard of Oz in a much more direct way than Part I's story. If there's a weak point in For Good, it's that this movie leans a bit too heavily on the assumption that its audience remembers the details of Dorothy's plotline from the earlier film, an assumption that may not be as workable for a mainstream movie release in 2025 compared to the theatrical musical attendees at the turn of the twenty-first century. Together, though, Wicked: Part I and Wicked: For Good tell a complete story for Elphaba and Glinda, and how they changed each other forever.

There is No Place like Home.  Caleb Reed, Donna's son and Eric's nephew joins us (coerced perhaps) as we discuss the great 2025 Seemann Family Reunion in our Hometown of Lindsey Ohio. Baby Boomer, Gen X and Gen Z (or is it Millenial) talk about the visit, the sights, the smell and the impact that this small town had on our lives.  There is also the poignant acknowledgement and recognition that while you can visit and enjoy the nostalgia, we all agree that none of us could have remained and cannot imagine still residing in the corner of the world. Donna Reed and Eric Seemann are both professional real estate agents. Donna lives and works in Tucson Arizona with Keller Williams Southern Arizona while Eric lives and works in San Antonio Texas with Keller Williams Heritage. They are also siblings, and they grew up in a small Northwest Ohio village of Lindsey. Their idyllic small-town childhood laid the foundation for what would become the structure of their lives and careers in real estate. We hope you will join us as we reminisce, reflect, and correlate how our childhood and life in rural Ohio still impacts our dealings with our clients today.

In our final episode of season 7, Lisa interviews Joan Ellison, songstress and revivalist of the Great American Songbook. Joan is known internationally for her restoration and revival of Judy Garland's repertoire from her golden Hollywood years, live concerts, studio recordings, and television shows. Joan shares how she became a part of the “Judy Garland Family” and reflects on the importance of musical places in her own musical journey, from Judy Garland's childhood home to Severance Hall. Co-host George Blake picks up the themes of musical place in Joan's conversation within the fabric of the concepts of “home” and “away” in “There's No Place Like Home” and “Over the Rainbow” in The Wizard of Oz.Thank you to our audio engineer Davey Berris, Lead Digital Video Specialist at MediaVision at CWRU for his work as audio engineer on this podcast.

Today's message explores the concept of being "at home" with God, drawing from Luke 15's three parables about lost things being found. Pastor Kerrick emphasizes that "home" is not just a physical location but a mentality, expectation, and feeling of belonging in God's presence. He challenges believers to examine whether they're living like children at home with full access to the Father's resources, or like slaves working to earn what's already theirs. The message highlights God's extravagant love for His children—equal to His love for Jesus—and calls both the lost to return home and the religious to shift from a slave mentality to an heir mentality. Throughout the holiday season, God desires for people to come home to Him and for believers to live confidently in their identity as beloved children with unlimited access to everything the Father has.

In this episode, #230 - There's No Place Like Home, I dive into one of my favorite stories of all time — The Wizard of Oz — and explore the lessons it holds for missionaries, returned missionaries, and anyone navigating the twists and turns of personal growth. Drawing on the symbolism of Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, the Lion, and even Elphaba from Wicked, we'll talk about what it really means to come "home." Spoiler alert: home isn't a place — it's you. If you've ever felt caught in a tornado of emotions, uncertain about your path, or searching for peace after change or transition, this episode will help you find your footing again. I'll share practical tools for pulling yourself out of the whirlwind, learning to observe your thoughts without judgment, and remembering that you already have everything you need — the heart, courage, and wisdom — within you. We'll also talk about the yellow brick road as a metaphor for your journey — how detours, delays, and unexpected turns are all part of your divine path. Whether you're serving a mission, coming home, or figuring out what's next, this episode will help you reconnect with your inner power, create emotional safety within yourself, and rediscover the truth that you are your own safe place. Because truly, there's no place like home. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did.

Bob continues our series by looking at the ways in which the communion we observe today is rooted in covenant meals eaten in the Old Testament.

We were created to live in the presence of God — that's where we are most at home. But sin pushed us out of the garden and away from the fellowship we were made for. The tragedy of sin isn't just punishment; it's distance. Yet God refused to leave us exiled. From the very beginning, He initiated a plan to bring us home through His Son, Jesus Christ. This message invites you to take that step — to call on Jesus or return to Him — and rediscover the peace and belonging that can only be found in His presence.

Bettina Ng'weno is Professor of African American and African Studies at the University of California, DavisNairobi, known as the Green City in the Sun, has taken shape through anti-urban ideologies that insist that the city cannot be home for most residents.
