QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“Hospitality means primarily the creation of free space where the stranger can enter and become a friend instead of an enemy.”~Henri J.M. Nouwen (1932-1996), Dutch priest, professor and theologian.“Here in our house you'll find a royal welcome; Have supper first, then tell us what you need.”~From Book 1 of Homer's Odyssey“What you leave behind is not engraved in stone monuments but what is woven into the lives of others.”~Pericless (495-429 BC), Greek general“Christian hospitality has much more to do with good relationships than with good food. There is a fine line between care and cumber. In many instances, less ado would serve better.”~Kevin DeYoung, American pastor and theologian“The focus of entertaining is impressing others; the focus of true hospitality is serving others.”~Tim Chester, British pastor and authorSERMON PASSAGE3 John 1-15 (ESV) 1 The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth. 2 Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul. 3 For I rejoiced greatly when the brothers came and testified to your truth, as indeed you are walking in the truth. 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. 5 Beloved, it is a faithful thing you do in all your efforts for these brothers, strangers as they are, 6 who testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their journey in a manner worthy of God. 7 For they have gone out for the sake of the name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles. 8 Therefore we ought to support people like these, that we may be fellow workers for the truth. 9 I have written something to the church, but Diotrephes, who likes to put himself first, does not acknowledge our authority. 10 So if I come, I will bring up what he is doing, talking wicked nonsense against us. And not content with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers, and also stops those who want to and puts them out of the church. 11 Beloved, do not imitate evil but imitate good. Whoever does good is from God; whoever does evil has not seen God. 12 Demetrius has received a good testimony from everyone, and from the truth itself. We also add our testimony, and you know that our testimony is true. 13 I had much to write to you, but I would rather not write with pen and ink. 14 I hope to see you soon, and we will talk face to face. 15 Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends, each by name.

With the team's outback getaway driver KO-ed outside the toilet, the team find themselves stranded in the outback, 45 minutes before their flight from "Australia Airport" leaves. Time is of the essence, and in this special the solvers will have a shared 45-minutes to solve across both parts of the Outback Odyssey arc. But before they can get back on the road they'll have to get through dozens and dozens of gnomes... in various state of undress (Jamie's exact words, not mine). Somewhere among these gnomes the key to escape lies. It's time to lock in and- "Gnome more Mr. Nice Guy".

Startups are often portrayed as glamorous—funding rounds, headlines, and overnight success stories. But behind the scenes, founders face sleepless nights, relentless stress, and the loneliness of carrying a company's future on their shoulders. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Andrew Ackerman—founder, investor, and author of The Entrepreneur's Odyssey—shares the raw, unfiltered realities of entrepreneurship. From the myth of hustle culture to the emotional toll of leadership, Andrew opens up about the lessons founders rarely hear in business school. This conversation is not just about strategy—it's about resilience, balance, and the human side of building a business. About the Guest   Andrew Ackerman is a startup founder, investor, accelerator director, and teacher who has supported and invested in dozens of companies. Drawing from decades of lived experience, he authored The Entrepreneur's Odyssey, a narrative-style guide that explores the emotional and practical challenges of startup life. Andrew blends storytelling with real-world lessons, helping founders understand not only the “how-to” of startups but also what it truly feels like to be in the founder's shoes. Key Takeaways   Startup life is often lonely—only other founders fully understand the weight of the journey. Storytelling captures the truth of entrepreneurship better than bullet points or “how-to” guides. Hustle culture is unsustainable; discipline, recovery, and balance matter more than endless hours. Investors respect hustle, but true competitive advantage comes from a strong, defensible business model—not working longer than others. Founders must recognize that startups consume every part of life—conversations, relationships, and even hobbies become filtered through the lens of the company. Building with intention and setting clear roles (even in couple-founded startups) can reduce conflict and improve outcomes.

9/11/25 - Catholic author Joseph Pearce discusses his new book Great Books for Good Men: Reflections on Literature and Manhood, originally commissioned by Exodus 90. Pearce reflects on how the treasures of classic literature, from Homer and Dante to Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, can shape Catholic men into virtuous, courageous, and holy human beings. He explains what inspired the book, how works such as The Odyssey, The Divine Comedy, Beowulf, and Hamlet remain relevant today, and why literature is a powerful guide for forming virtues like humility, courage, chastity, and wisdom. In a culture that often misunderstands masculinity, swinging between toxic extremes and weakness, Pearce shows how the great authors offer an alternative vision of authentic manhood rooted in the Catholic tradition. Great Books for Good Men is more than a literary reflection; it is a roadmap for men striving for virtue, holiness, and authentic self-giving.

Tonight, we head into the Midwest—where cornfields meet deep forests, and something on two legs walks where it shouldn't exist. From Illinois' Big Muddy Monster and the Cole Hollow Road Monster, to Michigan's Dogman and countless Bigfoot sightings, the heartland has proven just as strange as any swamp or mountain.We'll revisit the chilling Beast of Bray Road, the eerie Van Meter Visitor with its glowing horn, and the Lockridge Monster's unsettling appetite.From Wendigo legends in Minnesota to a Missouri sheriff's secret 1998 encounter in the Mark Twain National Forest, the stories are as bizarre as they are unforgettable.Along the way, we examine the physical evidence, the role of new technologies like eDNA, and the lasting impact these encounters have on communities.Are these creatures real, misunderstood, or something else entirely? One thing is certain: somewhere in the Midwest tonight, something is walking through the fields and forests—and it doesn't match anything science can explain.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

Conversation on the Positive Aging Community platform, host Steve Gurney sat down with George Jerjian, an author, speaker, and thought leader specializing in life's transitions. Jerjian, whose latest book is Odyssey of an Elder, shared his personal journey from a life-altering health scare to embracing retirement as a profound opportunity for growth. The discussion delved into themes of identity, purpose, gratitude, and adventure, offering valuable lessons for anyone approaching or navigating later life stages.A Wake-Up Call: From Diagnosis to DiscoveryJerjian's transformative path began in 2007 when he was diagnosed with a bone tumor and given just six months to live. Contrary to expectations, the experience didn't fill him with fear of death itself but rather concern for his teenage daughters. Miraculously, the tumor proved non-cancerous, but the brush with mortality reshaped his priorities. "Time is the most important thing," Jerjian emphasized, prompting him to semi-retire after a successful career.However, after 18 months of leisure, boredom and resentment set in. In 2016, seeking clarity, Jerjian embarked on a 30-day silent retreat inspired by Ignatian spiritual exercises—a rigorous program of introspection, often drawing from Catholic and Buddhist traditions. Isolated from external distractions like news, TV, or books, he conducted a deep "audit" of his life, reflecting on past homes and experiences. This revealed a key insight: "None of the good things could have happened without the preceding bad things." Crises, he realized, are turning points rather than endpoints.This epiphany led to his first book, Spirit of Gratitude: Crises are Opportunities, where he profiled 12 stories illustrating how challenges foster growth. Jerjian challenged the cultural view of retirement as a "problem," arguing it's a fork in the road where one's work-tied identity must evolve. He also highlighted how physical spaces, like homes, can anchor identity, urging listeners to declutter—both materially and emotionally—to make room for new beginnings.The DARE Method: A Framework for ReinventionCentral to Jerjian's philosophy is his DARE method, an acronym standing for Discover, Assimilate, Rewire, and Expand. He described it as a courageous approach to unretiring and crafting a fulfilling next chapter:Discover: Understand retirement's history and essence—it's not just financial planning but life planning. Jerjian referenced ancient thinkers like Cicero, who viewed old age as life's "crown," countering modern society's dismissal of elders as obsolete.Assimilate: Absorb new knowledge about the mind, particularly the subconscious. Willpower alone fails; the subconscious often sabotages goals. Jerjian stressed that we are not our thoughts but observers of them, advocating for releasing unhelpful ones.Rewire: Rewrite limiting stories from childhood, family, or society. By "recording over" old narratives, individuals can foster positive change.Expand: Counterintuitively, retirement should involve growth, not contraction. Gratitude plays a scientific role here, connecting thinking and thanking to open doors for more abundance. Jerjian advocated shifting from consumerism's dissatisfaction to a service-oriented mindset, inspired by Samurai ethos.Jerjian ties this to broader societal benefits, noting that serving others alleviates personal troubles and infuses life with nobility.

I came across Grazia's masterpiece of cinema Body Odyssey and was immediately blown away. The story, the acting and everything was like if David Lynch and David Cronenberg made a film about female body building. I know how that sounds and, I had to have her on the pod to talk. Because I was part of multiple people interviewing her, I only had 20 mins to chat, but, as you could tell I could easily talk for another hour. If you can get a chance, check out Body Odyssey, now making the rounds at film festivals. If you're not doing so already, please like and follow Classic American Movies on Instagram and Facebook. I do free movie giveaways, mini movie reviews and more! Also, I decided to dabble in making my own slasher film called “Bishop's Day”. Check out the Instagram page for updates.

In this podventure, we discuss the episode “The Homecoming,” in which the town of Odyssey is all stirred up over the rumor that Richard Maxwell has returned. Well, spoilers, he has. And further spoilers, no, he is not up to no good. He is actually here to apologize to everyone he hurt during album 5. It's a surprisingly emotionally intimate episode about the importance of asking for forgiveness, whether it's likely to be granted or not. It's also our only Richard perspective episode, so buckle in because we have 2 hours worth of thoughts. Also, needing vs. wanting forgiveness, the Gospel for perpetrators vs the Gospel for victims, and the newly coined Richard Maxwell Checklist™.

Season 0 trudges along with absolutley no breaks in realeasing episodes whatsoever. I can only assume this, like everything, has gone to plan. Either way here is the next timely episode of Blab Rats, where we hear what must be the real dreams and hypnagogic hallucinations of TV anchorman Moon Weathersly.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Peter Gunn, author of the book The Amazons. Peter Gunn is a U.S. Air Force Veteran and served his country proudly for over two decades. His unique writing style comes from a love of poetry and considers himself to be a poet first before being a content writer.   In my book review, I stated The Amazons is a YA fiction that is a cross between historical fiction and fantasy - all done in verse! Peter invented LLP - linked-lyrical-poetry. LLP has the flavor of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, Shakespeare's sonnets, and hip-hop/rap music. However, unlike Homer and Shakespeare, The Amazons is easy-to-read and understand.   The Amazons is a perfect introduction into epic poetry - but be sure to have a dictionary handy. In order to keep the rhyming scheme going, Peter relies on his extensive vocabulary (and a thesaurus or two!).   In addition to his unique style, I loved his storytelling and how he linked the history of England after the Napoleonic Wars to the fabled Amazons who supposedly lived in Peru. The story is fun, fast-paced, and filled with adventures. And for those who get hooked on the style, Peter has planned a series and is working on Books 2 and 3.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author Peter Gunn Website: https://www.petergunn.net/ Tiktok: @petergunnpoetry   Purchase The Amazons on Amazon: Ebook: https://amzn.to/4lyT6if   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

This is the story of a dream, perhaps one of humanity's oldest and most audacious: the dream of a thinking machine. It's a tale that begins not with silicon and code, but with myths of bronze giants and legends of clay golems. We'll journey from the smoke-filled parlors of Victorian England, where the first computers were imagined, to a pivotal summer conference in 1956 where a handful of brilliant, tweed-clad optimists officially christened a new field: Artificial Intelligence. But this is no simple tale of progress. It's a story of dizzying highs and crushing lows, of a dream that was promised, then deferred, left to freeze in the long "AI Winter." We'll uncover how it survived in obscurity, fueled by niche expert systems and a quiet, stubborn belief in its potential. Then, we'll witness its spectacular rebirth, a renaissance powered by two unlikely forces: the explosion of the internet and the graphical demands of video games. This is the story of Deep Learning, of machines that could finally see, and of the revolution that followed. We'll arrive in our present moment, a strange new world where we converse daily with Large Language Models—our new, slightly unhinged, and endlessly fascinating artificial companions. This isn't just a history of technology; it's the biography of an idea, and a look at how it's finally, complicatedly, come of age.

Homer's The Odyssey is one of the oldest and most enduring stories in all of civilization. Set in the aftermath of the legendary Trojan War, the great war hero Odysseus has been lost at sea for decades. As he struggles to return home, his story asks us important questions about history, memory, choice, kindness, leadership, violence, and much more. Thousands of years later, The Odyssey still matters.   This episode examines books 1-5 of The Odyssey, introducing us to the main characters and overall plot. We travel to the island of Ithaca to see corrupt suitors courting Penelope, the queen of Ithaca. Her son Telemachus fights to gain news of his father, journeying to far off lands to discover that Odysseus is indeed still alive. Finally, we meet Odysseus, held captive by the beautiful but deceptive Calypso. Odysseus is longing to go home and may finally have his opportunity. This section of the podcast series analyzes themes of mortality, free will, fate and destiny, civility and hospitality, post-war trauma and grief, the tension between the world of gods and the world of men, and much more.  If you're reading along, the next podcast will cover books 6-10! -Consider Supporting the Podcast!- Leave a rating or review on apple podcasts or spotify!

This week it's Dante, and it will be amazing. Full stop. Of all the classics you could read, The Divine Comedy may be one of the most intimidating, but it's also one of the most necessary. In this episode I'll break it down and share how to make the journey approachable. You can do this.We begin with Dante's early autobiographical work, the Nuovo Vitae (“New Life”), a short book of prose and poetry reflecting on his youth and his great love, Beatrice. It's tender, romantic, and surprisingly fun, especially because Dante explains his own poems. For me, it echoed Boethius's Consolation of Philosophy with its mix of prose and verse, but here the focus is entirely on poetry itself.From there, we step into The Divine Comedy, starting with Inferno. This vast poem of 100 cantos (divided among Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso) is written in tercets, here translated by Mark Musa into smooth iambic pentameter. His translation is highly readable and captures the poem's rhythm without forcing rhyme.The journey begins when Dante the Pilgrim finds himself lost “halfway through the journey of our life.” Guided by Virgil, he descends through the nine circles of Hell, encountering mythological figures, historical personages, and unforgettable imagery. The punishments fit the crimes (the doctrine of *contrapasso*): the lustful are blown by winds, fortune tellers walk with twisted heads, flatterers choke forever on filth.I'll share tips for reading Dante without getting bogged down: read quickly, jot a one-line summary of each canto, sketch a map of Hell, and above all, focus on Dante's evolving relationship with Virgil. More than an epic, Inferno is a story of finding yourself in darkness and but not staying there—and having a friend to help you. Next to the Odyssey and the Bible, this is one of the books that merits your effort.This is a year-long challenge!

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan and Cameron dive deep into the complex and controversial legacy of Dr. James Dobson, following news of his recent passing. Best known for founding Focus on the Family, Dobson shaped evangelical family culture for decades through radio, books, and discipleship materials like Adventures in Odyssey and McGee and Me. But his legacy is far from one-dimensional. Nathan and Cameron unpack Dobson's theological influence, his disciplinary advice, and his increasingly political stance—from early cultural engagement to vocal support for Donald Trump. This nuanced conversation explores how Dobson became both a hero of Christian family values and a villain in the eyes of many exvangelicals. For Christians seeking serious theological reflection on how faith intersects with politics, parenting, and cultural engagement, this is a must-listen. Join Nathan and Cameron as they wrestle with Dobson's impact—both the good and the harmful—and what it means for the Church moving forward.DONATE LINK: https://toltogether.com/donate BOOK A SPEAKER: https://toltogether.com/book-a-speakerJOIN TOL CONNECT: https://toltogether.com/tol-connect TOL Connect is an online forum where TOL listeners can continue the conversation begun on the podcast.

TCW Podcast Episode 241 - The First 10 Years of European Consoles   The first decade of European consoles began with imports of the Magnavox Odyssey, but soon local experiments took shape. In Spain, the Overkal may have been tied to a possible attempt to bring the Odyssey into the country, though no hard evidence survives, and it is generally treated as a local product. Across Europe, companies like Videomaster in the UK, Zanussi in Italy, and Interton and Grundig in Germany built dedicated ball-and-paddle systems. Many went beyond Pong using discrete logic hardware to support more advanced play, a technical achievement later supplanted by programmable consoles. A key shift came when General Instrument's Scottish branch developed the “Pong on a Chip,” enabling mass-produced systems like Videomaster's Superscore and Zanussi's Play-O-Tronic. By the late 1970s, firms such as Philips, Radofin, and Hanimex moved into programmable systems like the Videopac. The arrival of Atari, Mattel, and other American companies displaced Europe's fragmented but inventive hardware scene, but the North American video game crash killed their systems at the same time European gamers were shifting their focus to home computers.   TCW 105 - The Big Voice of Magnavox: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-big-voice-of-magnavox/ TCW 106 - The Small Voice of Magnavox: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-small-voice-of-magnavox/ TCW 177 - The Intellivision Part 1: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-intellivision-part-1/ TCW 178 - The Intellivision Part 2: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-intellivision-part-2 TCW 076 - A Fairchild Story: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/a-fairchild-story/   Overkal: https://prehistoricgaming.com/en/overkal-console/ Interton Video 2000: https://www.pong-story.com/v2000.htm GI Gemini Systems: https://www.pong-story.com/pc-50x.htm RCA Studio III Variants: http://videogamekraken.com/rca-studio-iii-by-rca Philips Videopac G7000: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgG9F9SsgCw Interton VC 4000: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yqVcULUqOU Radofin Programable Video System: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvCFYLfQrC0   New episodes are on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: feedback@theycreateworlds.com  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book, published Dec 2019, is available at CRC Press and at major on-line retailers: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1     Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

What do EDM raves, mermaids, and UFOs all have in common? Ibiza, baby. But not the kind of Ibiza you're used to. In this episode, we dive into the paranormal paradise of Es Vedrà, a mysterious, uninhabited islet off Ibiza's coast that's said to be the third most magnetic place on Earth—right after the North Pole and Bermuda Triangle. We're talking legendary sea creatures, shipwrecks, and glowing red UFOs that tail planes like something out of a sci-fi movie. Legends claim Es Vedrà is home to seductive sirens who lure sailors to their doom, sea witches, giants and invisible dragons that protect the land from greedy visitors. Is this just folklore—or is something ancient and powerful really calling from beneath the waves? Clubbing till 6 a.m. might sound wild, but it's nothing compared to what's flying over the Mediterranean at night…

Here are eight segments focusing on Professor Emily Wilson's work on The Iliad: 1/8. In her translation, The Iliad, Professor Emily Wilson addresses the complex question of "Who was Homer?" She explains that for centuries after the Mycenaean collapse, there was no writing in the Greek-speaking world, yet extraordinary oral stories of heroes like Achilles and cities like Troy were developed and retold by performing poets. Writing, borrowed from the Phoenicians, arrived in the 8th century BCE, leading to the monumental written poems like The Iliad and The Odyssey, which are sophisticated responses to this long oral tradition. 1578 JUPITER AND OLYMPIA

And now for something completely different. The Odyssey portion of our tour is over, and the Iliad portion will now begin. But wait! Wasn't the Iliad a poem about war? And isn't Aeneas supposed to do battle for Latium? So why is it all sunshine, butterflies, and love goddesses? Today we launch into Part II of the poem with a passage that has bamboozled scholars for centuries, and of course I will deliver the definitive interpretation so that everyone can stop arguing. Plus: a plot summary of what's to come, and advice on reading classic literature if you're having trouble understanding it.

This week, as students in North America are returning to campus and settling into the rhythms of the fall semester, some of them are going to open their copies of Homer's epic poems of the Trojan War, the Iliad and Odyssey. They will read of the Trojan commander Hector's poignant farewell to his wife Andromache, of the Greek warrior Achilles' terrible rage, of Odysseus' long journey home, and of his wife in Ithaca, Penelope, who has endured his absence for some twenty years. For many students, these will be powerful stories—windows into an ancient world of honor and virtue and hubris—but for all that, distant stories. When read from the air-conditioned dorm room or plush campus library, the dust and blood and bronze of the Trojan War are abstract. But what happens when these same texts are read by young men and women who do know the weight of putting on armor, who have themselves kissed loved ones goodbye before departing for battle? Who must walk away from their own infant children in order to defend the country? What happens when the students who stand before Homer's text are not just dispassionately analyzing the soul of the warrior but are warriors themselves? Mosaic's editor Jonathan Silver speaks in this episode with Ido Hevroni, a professor of literature at Shalem College in Jerusalem. For over a decade, Hevroni has guided Shalem students through Homer's epics, watching them grapple with these eternal questions of personal pride and public duty, private love and public defense, glory and sacrifice. But now, after October 7, his students find themselves in active combat, and he finds that it is Homer who is helping to explain their own experience back to themselves. And it is their experience in the tanks and tunnels of Gaza that is teaching them to read Homer with new eyes. Hevroni recently wrote about teaching the Odyssey in the pages of Mosaic, and that essay was published in honor of Ido's own teacher, Amy Apfel Kass, z”l, whose yortsayt on the fifth of Elul falls on the day that this conversation was originally broadcast. This discussion, too, is dedicated to her memory.
