After basically pirating Jesse Walker's ideas for several months now, Jonah Goldberg has decided it would be only fair to have Jesse aboard HMS Remnant to talk shop and swap yarns. In between sips of Captain Morgan and bites of the finest hardtack, Jonah and Jesse delve into the depths of the Remnant bingo card, pontificating on libertarianism, the myth of left and right, intellectual hyperlinks, conspiracy theories, populism, group pluralism, the rhetoric of unity, federalism, and the freedom to exit.

Join us for the final installment of One True Book Club '26! In this series of episodes, we are reading the Hemingway-relevant selection, Under Fire by Henri Barbusse, the classic French WWI novel published in 1916.This episode covers the final chapters of the novel. We discuss how Barbusse balances graphic, grotesque depictions of the dead with artistic restraint; we analyze anti-war themes throughout this section, including Corporal Bertrand's powerful speech; and we reflect on the "ray of light" symbolism at the end of the book.Throughout the discussion, we connect our reading to other works by Hemingway: “Chapter X” of In Our Time [They whack-whacked the horse…], A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Men at War, “A Natural History of the Dead," and “Soldier's Home.” We also draw connections to other non-Hemingway works, among them J'accuse (dir. Abel Gance), Stephen Crane's The Red Badge of Courage, Bob Dylan's “Blowin' in the Wind,” Joseph Heller's Catch-22, Siegfried Sassoon's Memoirs of an Infantry Officer, and Saving Private Ryan (dir. Steven Spielberg).We are using the Penguin Classics edition with an Introduction written by Professor Jay Winter. In the second half of this episode, Winter kindly sits down with us to share his wisdom about this spectacular book!Thank you for listening to One True Podcast!

I interviewed Richard Turco about One True Path, Part 1 on Tuesday, September 2, 2025 at Venice Immersive in Venice, Italy. Here is the story synopsis for One True Path, Part 1: "The viewer can travel through three fantastical worlds from author Jack Stevenson's oldschool Fiendish Fates gamebook series, each featuring different themes and gameplay. With a magical sword in hand, the viewer can make their way through the necromantic Army of Evil, led by the demonic Grey Knight. In Butchers of Orion, they can use mind-powers and body-hopping abilities to escape the slaughterhouse spaceship of the lifesucking Lady Oriana. Moreover, it is possible to blast the corrupt guards of Sheriff Cassidy's wasteland penitentiary with shock-hand and trusty cyber-shooter in Prisoner of the Cyberhounds. Exploiting interdimensional portals to cross between place, time, and gameplay styles, the viewer discovers clues, secrets, and personal notes to decipher the story behind the books and the true meaning of their journey through Jack's fictional worlds." Here are the contextual domains that are explored: Adventure into speculative literary worlds [9] of a variety of different genres in order to investigate and solve [9] a mystery [12] of why the author was killed [8] as he created these worlds Here is the Elemental Center of Gravity: 1st Center of Gravity of Fire Element / Active Presence: Gameplay Modalities in Different Genres - Mashing those up, uses the waypoint locomotion as a constraint. The most game-like exploration of different actions that are also mirroed in the worldbuilding and story that's being told2nd Center of Gravity of Earth Element / Environmental and Embodied Presence: Embodied Actions that change depending upon the genre of game/literature being explored. These genres are blended in the culmination. There's also the spatial context of the builetin board that helps spatially track where you are in the story.3rd Center of Gravity of Water Element / Emotional Presence: Context of a Mystery. But there's a murder that's happened within the base reality of this world, but then you go off onto these various speculative worlds based upon these different genres of interactive books. This overall experience is just the pilot, and so we don't get to see the full arc of the story. So it's sort of like watching the first episode of a longer series, which leaves it in a bit of a cliffhanger type of situation in terms of fully solving the murder mystery.4th Center of Gravity of Air Element / Mental and Social Presence: Very specific inspiration from literature, so it's an adaptation of sorts. There's cut scene contextualization at the beginning and end of each core gameplay loop cycle where you get a bit more dialogue. But it's mostly a sort of puzzle like game, and so with the constrained locomotion, it puts more of an emphasis on strategy of teleportation movement rather than the brue force nature of FPS shooters. Archetypal Themes and Character Explored: Exploration, Adventure, Gameplay, Solve mystery Artist Statement: "It's a difficult moment for narrative driven VR games and the game industry in general. Despite this, we wanted to push the boundaries of storytelling and develop an ambitious universe, at a time where we don't see lots of innovation in the VR market, especially on the narrative side. We've been developing this first part of the game for several months, with most of the final features included, and decided to release it on early access. Our character Jack has more cards in his sleeve and there will be many more secrets (and even worlds!) to discover. We consider it as a “pilot”, a first part to what will hopefully — with players' help — become the complete narrative experience we've imagined." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2U8p6mEwmI This is a listener-supported podcast through the Voices of VR Patreon.

Today on the show, Jordan explains the difference between big P and little p purposes and argues that the former can lead to anxiety while embracing the latter can be the path to meaning, satisfaction, connection, and even the legacy you were looking for in the first place.

Send us a messageScripture reveals that the Lord God carved out a dispensation of time from within the fabric of Eternity with the Plan of Salvation woven throughout this timeline. From Genesis to Revelation, His Truth has revealed Salvation's blueprint that displays everything we need to know regarding man's creation – his fall – and God's Plan of Redemption that was ratified by the Father and the Son, and sealed by the Holy Spirit, before the earth was formed.His Amazing Grace and Marvelous Mercy are displayed in the reality of John 3:16: in that “God so loved the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son so that whosoever will believe in Him, should not perish but have Eternal Life.”We could spend forever contemplating that one majestic, marvelous, and miraculous act of Love alone. But we are also made aware of an enemy, whose name is Lucifer – also known as Satan God's Adversary – who from the moment pride entered into him, has been purposed to usurp the One True and Only God of all Creation, and to keep as many as he can from understanding man's sinful condition that all have inherited from our first parents Adam and Eve - our need of a Savior – and the necessity of the “new birth” miracle within our spirit man – where old things pass away and all things become new.” (2 Cor. 5:17)In this message, we underscore these divine realities while exposing the diabolical schemes of the enemy that are operating within the worldly organizations that have been set up by him, along with the agents of darkness who are serving him in his global Antichrist agenda. With the call to run to the Savior now, while there is still time. Support the showVisit our website: https://agapelightministries.com/

In the first of our sermon series in the letter to the Philippians, Stef Liston expands on the incredible truths in the first chapter that Paul shares with the church, and the life-changing attitude we can live by because of them.
As Paul says farewell to the Ephesian elders in Acts 20, he points to the pattern of his ministry: humility, tears, trials, truth, and faithful service to the Lord. This episode reminds us that Christian ministry is not about pleasing people, but serving Christ with integrity, endurance, and Spirit-empowered faithfulness.

Join us for the second of three installments of One True Book Club '26! In this series of episodes, we are reading the Hemingway-relevant selection, Under Fire by Henri Barbusse, the classic French WWI novel published in 1916.This episode covers chapters 10-19 of the novel. We discuss how Barbusse finds moments of unexpected humanity amidst the carnage of warfare and his subtle characterization of the platoon, including the narrator himself. We also cover his metafictional “Swear Words” chapter, where Barbusse reflects on a Realist writer attempts to describe the indescribable.We also connect this brutal novel to Hemingway's writing, to other modernist works, to Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried… and even to The Shawshank Redemption. We are using the Penguin Classics edition with an Introduction written by future One True Podcast guest, Professor Jay Winter.
One True Podcast does its part to help your summer reading lists by covering a book that is not by Hemingway, but is Hemingway-relevant: Henri Barbusse's Under Fire, the 1916 World War I novel that Frederic Henry and Count Greffi name-drop so provocatively in between sips of icy cold champagne and smoothly fluent billiards shots. This episode covers the first nine chapters of Under Fire, where we discuss why Hemingway damned this novel with such faint praise in his Men at War anthology, how the episodic structure might remind readers of a contemporary work like The Things They Carried, the absence of instantly recognizable characters, and – controversially – whether there's more rain in this novel or in A Farewell to Arms. One True Podcast is never one to shy away from the divisive topics.We hope you'll join us in this summer's long-overdue read of Under Fire. We are using the Penguin Classics edition with an Introduction written by future One True Podcast guest, Professor Jay Winter.

Welcome to part 4 of our series “Life's Biggest Questions.” Today we are answering “How Can You Believe There's Only One True Faith?” Open your Bible and follow along with our guest Pastor Eric Holmstrom from Purpose Church in Pomona, CA.
He realized that “it was possible to keep one foot in the ideal world and the other foot in the real world.”Friday • 5/1/2026 • Friday of the 4th Week of EasterThis morning's Scriptures are: Psalm 31:1-5, 15-16; Acts 7:55-60; 1 Peter 2:2-10; John 14:1-14This morning's Canticles are: before the Psalm reading, Pascha Nostrum (“Christ Our Passover,” BCP, p. 83); following the OT reading, Canticle 10 (“The Second Song of Isaiah,” Isaiah 55:6–11; BCP, p. 86); following the Epistle reading, Canticle 18 (“A Song to the Lamb,” Revelation 4:11; 5:9–10, 13, BCP, p. 93)

The events of the first Good Friday and Easter are central for the entire Christian faith. We believe the One True and Living God accomplished something cosmic and glorious in the death and resurrection of a single human being named Jesus. While thousands died on cruel Roman crosses in the ancient world, Jesus’ death is unique as it was predicted hundreds of years before the events of that holy weekend some 2000 years ago. Furthermore, the story ends unlike no other, with the executed man walking out of His grave a few days later. But, you may ask, what does this have to do with me in 2026? Jesus’ final word on the cross gives us the beautiful and life changing answer. One of Jesus’ closest friends, a man named John, wrote an amazing book explaining Jesus’ life, identity, death, and resurrection. John tells us that the Roman soldiers gave Jesus a quick drink of sour wine, and after getting some liquid in His mouth, Jesus pushed up on the nails in His feet one last time and cried out, “It is finished!” At first glance, it may seem like a statement of defeat and hopelessness. Actually though, this statement, which is a single word in the original Greek text, is an unbelievable declaration of victory; providing hope for every human being and meeting our deepest needs and longings. Today we will look at this single word and share the implications of Jesus’ final word from the cross for you and me.
What do Buddhism, Islam, atheism, and Christianity all have in common? They're all trying to answer the same question — they're just giving very different this message, Ps Morgan takes you on a personal journey through years of serious spiritual searching — through addiction, philosophy, comparative religion, and finally, a reckoning he couldn't argue around. What he discovered wasn't a better theology. It was a diagnosis: he was living like an someone who's seeking, or one who has been studying, this is an honest, evidence-based look at what each path actually offers — and what it costs. From the logic of why "all roads lead to God" can't actually be true, to ancient Chinese pictographs that predate Genesis, to the one demand Christianity makes that every wounded person will resist — this message is for anyone who has ever knocked on the wrong doors looking for something real.

The teaching strongly warns that any message which adds to or alters the biblical gospel is a false gospel and places both teachers and hearers under God's curse, grounding this warning in Galatians 1:8–9, where even angels are condemned for preaching “another gospel.” The speaker contrasts true salvation by grace through faith with systems that add legalism, sacraments, works, nationalism without evangelism, or cultural accommodation, repeatedly returning to the biblical pattern of repentance and faith seen in the first evangelistic sermon in Acts 2:37–40, where Peter commands people to repent and be saved from a corrupt generation. He affirms God's prophetic purposes for Israel while insisting the gospel must never be withheld, referencing Jesus' words about Jerusalem in Luke 21:24, the necessity of Israel's restoration in Zechariah 12, and the Messiah revealed in Isaiah 40 as the prelude to the suffering Servant of Isaiah 52–53. Salvation is presented as universally offered yet personally received, supported by 1 Timothy 2:4 and God's stated desire that the wicked turn and live in Ezekiel 18:23, while rejecting distortions that deny substitutionary atonement or repentance. The message concludes by reaffirming that grace is free but costly, that Christ's work was finished at the cross, and that the church must preach repentance, substitutionary atonement, and new life without dilution or compromise, remaining faithful to the apostolic gospel alone.

This message from Ps. Morgan is a powerful testimony of searching for truth through addiction, philosophy, and self-reliance—only to rediscover that the only truth is found in Jesus. This message explores why real faith is revealed through the fruit it produces in our lives.

A proper interpretation of the Bible is essential if we as believers are to be effective in sharing the Gospel of Grace. When Jesus gave His disciples the Great Commission, He meant it in a broader sense of simply traveling to a physical location to spread the Word we have been given; He meant incorporating it into everything we do as part of our everyday lives. Reading the New Testament requires that we read it through the lens of the finished works of Jesus Christ; our faith should be based on the same thing. Jesus is what God believes about us; therefore, agreeing with Him elevates us from operating from faith in God to the faith of God, Himself.
