In this message, Ps. Brian unpacks Acts 2 and shows why Pentecost is not just a historical moment, but a power we can trust today. Rooted in the resurrection and ascension of Jesus, Pentecost reveals how the exalted Christ pours out His Spirit and remains actively present in the world. From the cross that removes guilt, to the resurrection that defeats death, to the ascension that establishes Christ's lordship, Pentecost brings God home to His people. It marks the birth of the Church and the moment mission moves from human resolve to divine power. In a world filled with competing voices and fragile authority, this message reveals an authority we can trust and a transforming power even the sceptic can see.

Y con una entrevista de las que impresiona Hoy hemos querido acordarnos de aquellos que trabajan para ayudar a los demás con todo su empeño. Por eso hemos os hablamos de ONG en Menudo Castillo. Lo hemos hecho porque Open Arms ha puesto en marcha una exposición que habla de sus primeros 10 años de existencia. Sería genial que esta ONG no tuviese que funcionar, porque hablaría muy bien de nuestra sociedad... pero como las cosas no funcionan tan bien como deberían, es muy necesario que exista. Para este programa, en el que hemos ofrecido algunas noticias solidarias y hemos mencionado otras ONG, hemos contado con la estupenda activista, defensora de los derechos humanos y escritora infantil (entre otras muchas cosas) Ángeles Schjaer. No os perdáis nada de lo que nos dice.

In this message, Ps. Sean Booth unpacks Acts 1–2 and the promise of the Holy Spirit poured out at Pentecost. From the sound of rushing wind to tongues of fire, we see how ordinary believers were filled, empowered, and set ablaze for God's purposes. This sermon explores what it means to be baptised with the Holy Spirit and fire, refined, ignited, and equipped to shine. With a clear call to Repent, Release, and Receive, we are invited to experience the transforming power of God and live passionately for His Kingdom.

Well, Fly Me to the Moon! Is Baconsale doing another episode about Unforgettable romantic tunes? Yes, we are, and we're doing it with Open Arms. However, this time we examined VH1's list of Endless Love songs and put them in a tournament to see which Unchained Melody will win At Last. Is Your Song on the bracket? Even if it is, just Breathe, and remember that while it may be a favorite In Your Eyes, it may not do so Wonderful Tonight. On the other hand, Maybe I'm Amazed how far some iconic tracks will go. But no matter what happens, just remember that You Are So Beautiful, I Will Always Love You, and My Heart Will Go On.   How Deep Is Your Love? Well, press play, Babe, because I Don't Want to Miss a Thing.   Also, You Don't Bring Me Flowers, but you still can visit Baconsale.com to download this bracket and find our official Spotify playlist of songs that are Always on My Mind.

This message launches the new series The Church – From Revival to Revolution, exploring the birth of the Church and the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. Drawing from Acts 1–2, we see how Jesus prepared His disciples to move from waiting to witnessing, from revival to revolution, through the baptism and power of the Holy Spirit. This sermon unpacks God's redemptive timeline, the promise of the Spirit, and the call for believers to live empowered lives, equipped, emboldened, and sent to impact their world for the Kingdom of God. A foundational message on the Kingdom of God, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and the power we receive to be Christ's witnesses everywhere.

In this message, Ps. Sean Booth unpacks Jesus' words to the church in Laodicea, challenging us to confront lukewarm faith and spiritual complacency. Drawing from Revelation 3:14–21, this sermon calls the Church to repent, run after God with renewed passion, recognise His voice, and open the door to deeper fellowship with Him. A stirring reminder that we are called to live refined, restored, and fully on fire for God.

Guests Kim Strange, Foundation Coordinator and Food Service Manager, and Lanaya Percfield, Open Arms Coordinator and Peer Support Manager, join to discuss the vital services provided by Lighthouse Beginnings and Open Arms. They share insight into current needs, including general food items, day-to-day household supplies, volunteer support, and funding challenges resulting from the recent federal funding freeze.

In this message, Ps. Sean Booth explore what it truly means to honour God by giving Him our first and best. Drawing from Genesis 4, Proverbs 3, and Matthew 6, this teaching reveals that generosity is not just about what we give, but the context of our heart and the priority we place on God in our lives. Through the story of Cain and Abel, we see that giving God our first requires faith, reflects obedience, and positions us for His favour and direction. This message ultimately points us to the greatest example of generosity, God giving His first for us through Jesus Christ.

In this message, Ps. Sean Booth explores the heart of generosity and how it brings breakthrough by enlarging our world. Drawing from Proverbs 11:24–25 and 2 Corinthians 9:6, he shows that generosity is not limited to finances, but is a posture of spirit, speech, and action, expressed through our time, talents, resources, and words. This short message encourages us to sow generously, bless others, and discover the abundance that flows from living with a generous heart.

In this message, Pastor Brian Somerville explores the active nature of God's love revealed in the incarnation of Jesus Christ. Drawing from Scripture, he shows how divine love is not passive or abstract, but purposeful and costly—love that steps down from heaven, steps into our world, and ultimately steps up in victory.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8393SALVINI ASSOLTO: RESTANO I DANNI DI UN PROCESSO POLITICO di Ruben Razzante L'assoluzione definitiva di Matteo Salvini nel processo Open Arms, sancita dalla Cassazione con il rigetto del ricorso della Procura di Palermo, chiude formalmente una delle vicende giudiziarie e politiche più controverse degli ultimi anni, ma lascia aperte molte domande sul rapporto tra giustizia e politica e sui danni, materiali e immateriali, che un'inchiesta può produrre anche quando si conclude con un nulla di fatto.Tutto inizia nell'estate del 2019, tra l'1 e il 20 agosto, quando la nave della Ong spagnola Open Arms soccorre migranti in acque libiche e chiede l'autorizzazione a sbarcare in Italia. Matteo Salvini è allora vicepremier e ministro dell'Interno del governo Lega-M5s e applica la linea dei porti chiusi già sperimentata nei mesi precedenti, ritenendo che la gestione degli sbarchi non possa essere lasciata alle Ong e che debba coinvolgere l'Unione europea.UNA VICENDA GROTTESCA DI USO POLITICO DELLA MAGISTRATURAIl divieto di sbarco non è una decisione solitaria: il 2 agosto 2019 viene firmato un decreto interministeriale anche dal ministro delle Infrastrutture Danilo Toninelli e dal ministro della Difesa Elisabetta Trenta, entrambi esponenti del Movimento 5 Stelle, mentre a Palazzo Chigi siede Giuseppe Conte. Nonostante ciò, la vicenda si trasforma rapidamente in un caso giudiziario. Il 19 novembre 2019 Salvini viene iscritto nel registro degli indagati con l'accusa di sequestro di persona aggravato, per aver impedito lo sbarco dei migranti, e da quel momento inizia un lungo calvario durato 2.220 giorni, con una spada di Damocle sulla testa e la richiesta finale, da parte della Procura, di sei anni di carcere.Nel frattempo il quadro politico cambia radicalmente: pochi giorni dopo il braccio di ferro su Open Arms cade il governo gialloverde, nasce l'esecutivo giallorosso e Giuseppe Conte diventa il punto di riferimento di una nuova maggioranza progressista. Il Movimento 5 Stelle, che al governo aveva sostenuto compatto la linea di Salvini sugli sbarchi, il 30 luglio 2020 vota in Senato a favore dell'autorizzazione a procedere contro il leader leghista, di fatto scaricando l'ex alleato. Conte e Toninelli prendono le distanze: il primo parla di una lettera inviata a Salvini per chiedere almeno lo sbarco dei minori, il secondo sostiene che Salvini volesse "monetizzare" politicamente la crisi avendo già deciso di far cadere il governo. Si arriva così al processo a Palermo, con tre anni di dibattimento, ventiquattro udienze in primo grado, oltre quarantacinque testimoni ascoltati, continui viaggi in Sicilia di un ex vicepremier sotto scorta, con costi pubblici rilevanti per la sicurezza e per l'intero apparato giudiziario.Il tribunale assolve Salvini perché il fatto non sussiste e la Cassazione conferma definitivamente l'assoluzione, chiudendo un procedimento che, dal punto di vista penale, si rivela infondato.IL TRACOLLO DELLA LEGAResta però il dato politico: dal 2019 a oggi la Lega è passata dal 34,3% delle elezioni europee all'8,97% delle ultime consultazioni europee e, se le cause di questo calo sono molteplici, è difficile negare che l'inchiesta Open Arms abbia rappresentato uno spartiacque nella parabola di Salvini, condizionandone l'azione politica, l'immagine pubblica e la capacità di incidere nel dibattito nazionale. Per sei anni Salvini è stato di fatto in ostaggio dei Pm, con un'accusa gravissima che si è dissolta solo al termine dell'iter giudiziario, mentre nel frattempo il danno politico, mediatico ed elettorale si è prodotto ed è ormai irreversibile. È qui che si innesta una riflessione più ampia e delicata: quando un'inchiesta appare fortemente politicizzata e interviene a gamba tesa su scelte che sono eminentemente politiche, il rischio per la democrazia è evidente.La magistratura svolge un ruolo fondamentale di garanzia, ma proprio per questo deve essere percepita come imparziale, distante da qualsiasi retropensiero ideologico, capace di applicare la legge senza trasformarsi in un attore del confronto politico. La fiducia dei cittadini nelle toghe è un pilastro dello Stato di diritto e si fonda sulla certezza che la libertà personale sia nelle mani di chi giudica secondo le norme e non secondo l'opportunità o l'appartenenza. Nel caso Open Arms, l'assoluzione definitiva pone una domanda che va oltre Salvini e la Lega: chi risarcisce sei anni di indagini, processi, tensioni istituzionali e danni politici? Chi paga per il tempo, le risorse pubbliche e il logoramento di un leader e di un partito poi riconosciuti innocenti? Sono interrogativi scomodi ma inevitabili, perché senza una riflessione seria su questi effetti collaterali il rischio è che la giustizia, anche quando arriva alla verità, lasci dietro di sé macerie che nessuna sentenza potrà mai riparare.

Hope can feel fragile when prayers go unanswered and waiting feels endless. In this Advent message on Hope, Ps. Josh Hall explores Luke 1 through the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth. Learn how biblical hope is formed by staying in the pain, praying through disappointment, and ultimately seeing Jesus. Discover how God works in the waiting and why hope is reborn when we trust His promises.

What does it really mean to follow Jesus with no reservations? In this message, Ps. Larry Brey explores powerful moments from the Gospels where Jesus calls people to radical obedience, deep faith, and wholehearted commitment. From miraculous healing to costly discipleship, this teaching challenges us to go all in with Jesus, trusting His word, surrendering comfort, and following Him wherever He leads.

In this episode, we sit down with Hannah Kurtz, a pastor's wife, homeschool mama, and soon-to-be mom of six, to share the twists and turns of her family's ministry journey. Hannah and her husband, Thor, began full-time ministry in 2017, eventually following a mission-trip “divine detour” to Lincoln, Illinois, where Thor now serves as the youth pastor at Open Arms.Hannah opens up about their transition to a new church—including the unique challenge of living on a college campus in the middle of being converted into their church campus. She shares honestly about grieving the move, navigating ministry on unfamiliar ground, and the quiet emotional weight pastors' wives often carry.With humor (yes, Thor collects strange items just to scare people), warmth, and deep faith, Hannah talks about community support, prayer, and the unexpected joy of watching God's provision—like her son praying for a baby brother before they even knew one was coming. Her story is full of resilience, hope, and the reminder that ministry transitions are hard… but never walked alone.Key TakeawaysA mission trip led them to an unexpected new calling in Lincoln, IL.They lived on a college campus while it was being transformed into the church campus.Transitioning to a new church brought emotional challenges and grief.Community support is essential for pastors and their families.Prayer played a major role in their family's story—from ministry decisions to a son praying for a baby brother.Having a strong network of pastors' wives makes all the difference.God's faithfulness is evident in every twist, detour, and new beginning.Get all the info about our next pastors' wives retreat and apply here:https://www.pastorswivestellall.com/attendaretreatTo purchase the BOOK, head here: ⁠https://pastorswivestellall.com/book⁠⁠To shop our MERCH, head here: ⁠https://pastorswivestellall.com/shop⁠⁠Want to support the Pastors' Wives Tell All podcast ministry?

In this message from The Journey of Jesus series, Ps. Sean Booth unpacks Matthew 28:1–10 to show that Jesus Himself is our joy. Our joy isn't anchored in circumstance but in Christ, the One who redeems our past, strengthens us in the present, and calls us forward into His purpose. Through Philippians 3 and 4, we're reminded to press on, pursue His call, and share the joy of Jesus with others.

In this message, Ps. Sean Booth unpacks Matthew 27:45–54 and the power of the cross, where darkness fell, the veil tore, and Jesus declared the saving work finished. At the cross, sin is judged, freedom is won, and grace, healing, and hope are released. Through Christ's sacrifice we are forgiven, restored, and invited to live in the fullness of God's presence.

In this message from Matthew 27, Ps. Brian Somerville shows how the journey of Jesus toward the cross becomes our journey toward healing. Where Peter's faith collapses and hope seems lost, Joseph of Arimathea steps out of secrecy and into courageous faith. Scripture reveals a pattern: healing begins not when we run from pain, but when we bring it honestly before God. Discover how turning toward your wounds, rather than away from them, becomes the very path where restoration, hope, and renewed faith are found.  

In this message from Matthew 26:17–30, Pastor Brian Somerville shows how Jesus becomes our New Passover, the perfect Lamb who brings true freedom, not from Egypt, but from sin. Through His blood, judgement passes over us, redemption is secured, and we are invited into a new covenant of grace. Discover what it means to live as God's redeemed people: forgiven, strengthened for the journey, and confident in the hope of His promise.

In this message from Matthew 24:1–14, Ps. Sean explores how Jesus revealed the signs of the end times and the reality of His coming. Where nations rise against nations, false prophets deceive, and love grows cold, Jesus calls us to remain vigilant, steadfast in faith, and focused on eternity. Discover how living with an eternal perspective means staying ready for His return, proclaiming the Gospel to all nations, and living holy, Godly lives in anticipation of the glorious appearing of our Lord.

In this message, Pastor Sean shares a powerful word from Matthew 25 about what it truly means to steward the significance God has placed within you. Part of our Journey to Jesus series through the Gospel of Matthew, this message challenges us to see our gifts, opportunities, and influence not as our own but as something entrusted to us by God for His purpose and glory.

Head Cheer and Dance Coach Bailey Davis dives into the story of Joseph to remind us that God's arms are always open wide, waiting for us to return home to him.

In this message from Matthew 22, Ps. Alan unpacks the Parable of the Wedding Banquet, where Jesus reveals the heart of God's invitation to His kingdom. While many are invited, few are chosen, not because the invitation is limited, but because the response is lacking. In a world content with surface religion and self-made righteousness, Jesus calls us to be clothed in what only He can provide. Discover how true discipleship means accepting God's invitation, receiving His righteousness, and living ready for the King's celebration.

In this message from Matthew 23:1-12, Ps. Brian Somerville explores how Jesus redefined leadership through love, humility, and service. While the Pharisees sought position, praise, and public recognition, Jesus modelled a kingdom way, one that leads through surrender, not status. Where religion exalted pride, Jesus elevated people; where leaders demanded honour, He chose to serve. Discover how true leadership flows from love, valuing dignity over dominance, compassion over control, and destiny over the desire for approval. Learn what it means to lead from love, following the One who humbled Himself to lift others higher.

In this message from Matthew 21:12–22, we explore how Jesus confronted nominal religion and revealed that radical faith is the new normal in His kingdom. Where the temple had traded God's presence for profit, the priests restrained praise, and Israel rejected its purpose, Jesus calls us back to authentic worship, surrendered praise, and true kingdom purpose. Discover how radical faith means choosing the Person over the place, praise over preferences, and purpose over personal comfort.

This week, pastor Brian shares a powerful message from Matthew 20:29–34. In this passage, the blind men refuse to let the crowd silence them and their persistence brings them face to face with Jesus. Pastor Brian reminds us that the crowds follow Jesus, not the other way around. In the same way, we must not let external voices of opinion or internal voices of fear and anxiety control us. Instead, we fix our focus on Jesus.

Ps. Sean Booth unpacks why God values obedience more than sacrifice. Through the story of the wealthy young man and Samuel's words, we're reminded that true discipleship isn't about good works, but full surrender to Christ. Obedience may cost us, but it leads to freedom and eternal life.

Oscar Camps, director y fundador de la ONG, advierte sobre la peligrosidad de estos mensajes en Las Mañanas de RNE con Lara Hermoso: "Cuando alguien pide hundir un barco que salva vidas, está revelando no solo el desprecio por la dignidad humana, sino también nos recuerda a un discurso de los momentos más oscuros de la Historia"."Cuando un líder político normaliza la violencia verbal contra quienes defendemos los derechos humanos, está abriendo una puerta a que otros puedan justificar ataques reales", prosigue Camps. En estos momentos hay un barco de Open Arms atracado en Santa Cruz de Tenerife por la firma del convenio de colaboración con el Gobierno canario, y planean desplegarse al menos dos meses en aguas del archipiélago. El entrevistado afirma que está ilusionados: "Para nosotros significa ampliar nuestra mirada. Llevamos diez años en el Mediterráneo y ahora podemos acercar a la sociedad isleña la realidad de todo lo que ocurre en la ruta atlántica, que no es poco. Es una ruta mortífera, larga, durísima y muy poco conocida", dice. Escuchar audio

Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, host Hunter guides us through day 150 of our journey, exploring Proverbs chapters 10-12 and Romans chapter 10. Together, we reflect on wisdom, integrity, generosity, and Paul's reminder that God's arms are always open to us. Hunter encourages us to embrace the love God freely offers, live a life rooted in gratitude, and share that thankfulness with those around us. Join us for a time of scripture, prayer, and reflection as we discover how God's love transforms our daily lives. Let's dive in! TODAY'S DEVOTION: Open Arms I love how Paul ends his chapter where he says, regarding Israel, All day long, I have opened my arms to them. Open arms. That's the picture Paul wants to leave us with. God's arms are open, always embracing, always drawing us in, always pursuing us, all day long. And, of course, it is entirely right for us to make the application not only for Israel, but for us, for the world. God's arms are open all day long. And, of course, that is revealed in its most perfect expression in the life of our Lord Jesus—his arms spread wide open on that cross, embracing the world. For God so loved the world that he gave himself. My prayer today is that I will live each and every day of my life fully aware, fully convinced, fully embracing the God who has embraced me. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Almighty and ever loving god, you have brought us to the light of a new morning. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your holy spirit that we may walk this day in peace. Guard our steps from temptation. Shield us from the weight of fear and shame, and lead us deeper into the joy of your presence through Jesus Christ our lord. Amen. Oh Christ, light of the nations, shine in every place where shadows dwell. Call the scattered home. Heal the wounds of division, and gather all people into the communion of your grace. May the knowledge of the lord cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Amen. And now, lord, make my hands ready for mercy. Make my eyes quick to see the hurting, my ears open to the cry of the lonely, and my feet swift to bring good news. Let me seek to bless, not to be noticed, to serve, not to be praised, to forgive, not to hold back. For in your way is life, in your mercy is healing, and in your love is the peace this world cannot give. Amen. And now as our lord has taught us, we are bold to pray: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.   OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

We're celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. Today, we're revisiting our 2021 conversation with Steve Perry. ABOUT STEVE PERRYOne of the most iconic voices in rock music history, Steve Perry is best known as the lead singer of the band Journey during the group's most successful period. His first Top 20 pop hit as either a performer or songwriter was the solo-written “Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin',” which became a hit for the band in 1979. In the following decade he co-wrote an unbelievable streak of classic songs with Neil Shon and Jonathan Cain, including “Any Way You Want It,” “Who's Crying Now,” “Open Arms,” “Separate Ways,” ”Send Her My Love,” and “Don't Stop Believin',” a single that's been certified five times platinum. His 1984 debut solo album Street Talk produced the classic singles “Oh Sherrie” and “Foolish Heart.” After penning additional Journey hits “Be Good to Yourself,” “Girl Can't Help It,” and “I'll be Alright Without You” he departed the band and released his second solo album, For the Love of Strange Medicine, featuring the single “You Better Wait.” After briefly reuniting with Journey and co-writing the additional hits “When You Love a Woman” and “Message of Love” in the mid-1990s, he stepped away from recording. Steve returned in 2018 with his third solo album, Traces. In 2021 he released his fourth solo record, a holiday collection called The Season, produced by Steve and Thom Flowers, and featuring contributions from multi-instrumentalist Dallas Kruse. The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, whom Rolling Stone magazine named among the “100 Greatest Singers of All Time” joins us to talk about exploring the great American Christmas songbook from a writer's perspective, to share some stories about his own songs, and to offer some insight into his approach to the craft.

My friend Aiden Kelly (he/him, trans man, age 23, future in theatre) and my friend Annalee Kelly (married mother of 4, RM, active LDS, from Idaho Falls) join us to share their story. Aiden starts and talks about: Immense pain of gender dysphoria Writing in his journal—and sharing that journal entry with his mother as a way to come out as a boy Knowing sharing his pain with others would be key to getting help and making his future possible How hormone treatment and top surgery ended the pain and have him hope Parents support Glad he is alive. Has hope and a future. Advice to others who are suicidal/have no hope. Annalee then shares about: The long-term hatred Aiden had for his body (hair pulling, pounding on his chest, etc) Asking advice from his Bishop (good experience) Had to put Aiden's life ahead of my original dreams/hopes Generally positive ward and family support Starting Open Arms of Idaho Pain of the August 2025 transgender handbook policy update “Aiden is a masterpiece” Aiden's Father support Aiden is one of my heroes—a brave, talented, a good man—with a wonderful future. I'm glad you are alive Aiden and thank you for your courage to share your story. You give hope to others. And thank you Annalee for helping us know we can love and support our LGBTQ friends and family—and how that is part of responsibility as Latter-day Saints and followers of Jesus. Thank you for all the work you and your team is doing in the Idaho Falls area to bring more love and understanding. You are all some of my heroes. You are a beautiful family. And your story will help so many.
