The ATW Records boss and honorary prince of UK Garage steps up with a mix that might surprise you. From the post-lockdown school of UK garage producers, Adam Emil Schierbeck, AKA Main Phase, is a rare international graduate. The Copenhagen producer has closely studied the British sound, shaping an international garage revival in his wake. Schierback stands as one of UK Garage's premiere tastemakers. Ordained as the king of the speed garage shuffler, a Main Phase track is easy to spot: infectious swing and rippling melodies, underpinned by a sensual, determined mood. With Interplanetary Criminal, he now co-runs ATW Records, invigorating what was once a exploratory imprint into one of the scene's most crucial nurturers of new talent. Some listeners might press play expecting the corybantic ragga edits of "100%," but patience is required: what you may expect from a Main Phase set only pokes its head out briefly (there's exactly one speed garage drop, two hours in). Instead, treat RA.1030 as Main Phase 101. Opening with a dub-techno soundbath, the mix traces the roots and outer edges of his sound, and lands like an artistic statement he has been building towards since he was an awestruck teenager, racing home to catch Rinse FM.

 I've been in a deep contemplation of what got me to step into my soul's purpose, and living in true alignment these past years. And 5 "things" came up. 5 things that made all the difference for me and that were keys to living a life beyond my wildest dreams.In this video you'll learn what these 5 keys were and how you can apply them to your life.HINT: If you've ever been told your dreams are "too out there" or that you need to "come back to reality"? You're going to learn that this part of your gifts, your compass, your inner knowing. 

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, reviews how Jesus appointed the original twelve apostles and then explores the differences between disciples and apostles. He points out how the word “apostle” was used in the early Jewish, Greek, and Roman culture. The characteristics of apostles as outlined in the Scripture are reviewed. Dr. Hall then turns his attention to the question of whether there are contemporary apostles. The view that once the canonization of Scripture was complete that the gifts provided to the apostles ceased, called cessationism, is reviewed and compared to the view that these gifts did not cease, called continuationism, Dr. Hall outlines the implications of this debate for today's churches. Dr. Hall concludes this podcast finding it difficult to view anything in the Scripture to support a dogmatic conclusion that there are no modern-day Apostle's.

Ordained since 1991 as a New Thought Interfaith minister, Debbie Hazelton has spent decades weaving together spirituality, psychology, advocacy, and holistic healing.

Her groundbreaking program on dealing with differentness, featuring her powerful headband activity, challenged audiences across conferences, colleges, airports and healthcare systems to confront labels and see one another more fully.

Her first book sold 30000 copies in its first year and was translated into Chinese and Japanese. Over the years she has served as a licensed mental health counselor, coordinator of disabled student services, college professor, outreach coordinator and contributing editor, Reiki master, licensed massage therapist, and holistic practitioner. Today she continues teaching nursing students, using Braille, embosser technology, PowerPoint and AI tools to create dynamic accessible classrooms. Through it all, her voice has remained steady, insightful, humorous, and deeply rooted in the goodness and grandness of Source and the joy by which we are made.

In this video, we explore the deep-seated belief that money equals safety and how tying your personal worth to financial success can create a cycle of insecurity. We discuss the importance of cultivating a healthy money mindset to achieve true financial freedom, and why many spiritual women and entrepreneurs find it impossible to stop hustling, even when they are on the verge of burnout.The path to abundance and peace isn't through more effort; it's through shifting into the Creation Loop. I break down the 3 essential steps of this soulful alternative to help you regulate your nervous system, quiet the mind, and move into a state of ease and flow. By identifying these loops, you can stop performing for your worth and start leading from your essence, allowing your business and life to thrive without the heavy weight of hustle culture.In this video, you'll learn:

 Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, addresses a letter circulated by 400 Christian leaders urging resistance to the Trump administration. He explains why the points made in the letter about our government and the trump administration are ridiculous. The freedoms provided by the Democratic processes of America are outlined. He points out that the biblical perspective is that maintaining a secure border is a wise defensive measure to prevent chaos and safeguard innocent lives. Dr. Hall focuses on the behavior of the representatives of the Democratic Party during the President's recent State of the Union address. When the president asked the body to stand if they agreed that the first duty of the US government is to protect American citizens, not those in the country illegally, all the Democratic representatives refused to stand. The Democratic Party representatives also refused to stand and applaud when the grieving mother of a young woman from Ukraine who escaped the war was slain by a hardened criminal in the US. Dr. Hall points out that there was nothing more symbolic of the Democratic Party's hostility than the pin that the Democratic Congress woman Rashida Tlaib wore on her blouse that read “FUCK ICE.” The podcast concludes with the instructions from Romans 13 that warns against resisting government.

If you are looking for the fastest way to attract abundance, this video reveals a simple but profound three-word secret: Be abundance herself. Many spiritual entrepreneurs struggle because they focus on "doing" and "hustling" to find financial success, but according to the Law of Correspondence, you don't attract what you want—you attract what you are. In this teaching, I dive deep into why feminine energy and soul alignment are the true keys to manifesting wealth and prosperity without the burnout of hard work.In this video, you'll learn:

When public life feels loud and divided, what does quiet faithfulness look like? In the US House of Representatives, every legislative day begins with prayer. This responsibility rests with the chaplain of the house and shapes the daily spiritual rhythms of the institution. "Chaplains aren't combatants. We carry no weapon." On January 3, 2021, Rev. Dr. Margaret Grun Kibben was elected by the House to be its sixty-first chaplain. She offers daily prayer and steady pastoral presence and care in one of the most visible and contested institutions in American life. In this conversation with Mark Labberton, she reflects on vocation, pastoral identity, pluralism, crisis leadership, prayer in public life, and the quiet discipline of blessing those entrusted with leadership. She reflects on her early call to ministry as a teen, her formation as a military chaplain to the Navy, a defining season in Afghanistan, and her unexpected path to serving in the House. Together they discuss confidential care, advising leaders, the ministry of presence, praying across differences, the history of prayer in Congress, and how to bless leaders without turning prayer into a tool of ideology. Episode Highlights "I had a sense of call to ministry when I was about fourteen." "Chaplains are where it matters, when it matters, with what matters." "What is your theology of ministry?" "It is the ninety-nine who were leaving the room that needed the shepherd." "God is on his throne. He hasn't stepped down." About Margaret Grun Kibben Rev. Dr. Margaret Grun Kibben serves as the sixty-first chaplain of the United States House of Representatives. Ordained in the Presbyterian Church (USA), she previously completed a thirty-five-year career in the US Navy, including service as the twenty-sixth chief of Navy chaplains and director of religious ministry for the Department of the Navy. In that role, she advised senior naval leadership and oversaw chaplains serving sailors, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen around the world. She holds degrees from Goucher College and Princeton Theological Seminary and earned a doctor of ministry focused on theology and leadership. Her ministry has included deployments overseas and senior-level advisement in complex, pluralistic environments.

If you are struggling with abundance blocks or feel like you're pushing hard in hustle culture but only receiving crumbs, this episode on feminine embodiment and spiritual abundance is for you. In this video, I reveal the three specific signs you are unconsciously repelling miracles, ease, and financial flow. Many spiritual entrepreneurs struggle because they rely too heavily on masculine energy (hustling and doing) rather than cultivating the receiving energy necessary to co-create with the Divine.You'll learn:The Masculine vs. Feminine Dynamic: Discover why constant "hustling" (outward energy) actually blocks the Divine from giving to you.The Receiving Test: How your reaction to help at the airport or a simple compliment reveals your internal money blocks.Needy Energy vs. Magnetic Energy: Learn why attachment to the "how" and "when" of your desires repels them—and how to switch to gratitude instead.Cause vs. Effect: Why focusing on "making money" is focusing on the effect; find out how to shift back to the Source (the Cause) to see real results.Gratitude as a Pipe Opener: A powerful perspective shift on the material things you currently have to open the flow for more.

Ordained minister Dr. Dennis Hall and his special guest John Pitts, scholar on the science behind the biblical creation story focus on the migration of the animals on the ark to all the continents and islands of the world. Listeners are reminded that God decided to destroy the earth because he found mankind to be evil and violent. He asked Noah to build an ark and put two of every kind of living creatures, male and female, on the ark. Scripture tells us that rain fell on the earth for 40 days and 40 nights and that all the deep springs under the ocean burst forth and the earth was flooded. When the rain stopped and the floodwaters receded the ark ran aground on Mount Ararat. These two biblical scholars discuss how massive vegetation rafts formed facilitating the movement of the animals. When and how an ice age formed is discussed and how it caused the oceans sea levels to become low enough for land bridges to connect the continents permitting dispersal of the animals. It was God's command that the animals swarm the earth and multiply. Can be heard on all podcast search engines and viewed on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/z_xTaUEWKyo him

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) The Reverend Jesse Jackson, the civil rights leader who marched alongside Martin Luther King Jr. and later ran for president, has died at 84, according to a statement from his family released early Tuesday. Ordained in 1968, he spent decades fighting for voting rights and economic justice. A longtime advocate for racial and economic justice, Jackson was with King in Memphis in 1968 when King was assassinated. He went on to found the Rainbow PUSH Coalition and became one of the most prominent voices in American civil rights and politics.2) Iran and the US are set to meet for a second round of nuclear talks in Switzerland on Tuesday morning as they seek to avoid renewed conflict in the Middle East following last year’s attacks on the Islamic Republic. Oman will mediate the negotiations in Geneva almost two weeks after the first round was held on February 6th, Iran’s state broadcaster said. Iranian officials have expressed willingness to discuss their nuclear-enrichment activities, but have tied any concessions to the potential easing of American sanctions. Meanwhile, Washington is increasing its military presence in the Middle East, deploying a second aircraft carrier to the region amid warnings of a possible strike on Iran if talks — which could drag on for weeks — fail to produce a compromise. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps held drills around the strategic Strait of Hormuz on Monday that were focused on delivering a “decisive” response to security threats.3) Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Europe’s fate is intertwined with the US while faulting the continent for what he said was a drift away from their shared Western values. “We want Europe to prosper because we’re interconnected in so many different ways, and because our alliance is so critical,” Rubio told Bloomberg News Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait on the sidelines of the conference on Saturday. “But it has to be an alliance of allies that are capable and willing to fight for who they are and what’s important.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, focuses on the things that has caused the American Christian churches to drift in a disturbing direction. He points out that as American Christian churches began to build sprawling campuses to attract the growing suburbanites, and with mega churches adopting strategies to remove any and all barriers that would discourage someone from attending to the prosperity gospel churches were avoiding the hard truths of, sin, sacrifice, and repentance and producing a generation of Christians unprepared to persevere in a culture increasingly hostile to biblical truth. Dr. Hall then focuses on the heresies that plague contemporary Christian churches. He makes the point that the modern-day Christian churches have been pushed to the side of the public square but that it does not need rebranding – it needs rediscovery. He points out that the Christian church does not need new programs or slogans – it needs repentance. Can be heard on all podcast search engines and viewed on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/0bUt6FiFHrg

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, revisits the anti-ICE anarchy that is unfolding in the streets of Minneapolis. He raises salient questions about the motives of those who are attempting to interfere with federal officers who are attempting to apprehend illegal immigrants. Dr. Hall addresses the anger that is growing among those who are upset by watching police officers being attacked, property destroyed, and obscenities shouted and scrawled across handmade signs. He points out that being angry is not an excuse for sin! It is pointed out that Jesus made it clear that loving God and loving your neighbor are the most important things that you can do, and that neighbors include the anarchists and the illegal immigrants. Dr. Hall points out that the Scripture calls us to be kind, compassionate and forgiving, and to love our enemies. In his concluding remarks he points out that loving our neighbors is not carried out when we tell somebody that they should not be accountable for breaking the law which is the same as rejecting God according to Romans 13.

Rabbi Steven Greenberg is an Orthodox rabbi and author. Ordained at Yeshiva University, he has spent years teaching, writing, and speaking across the Jewish world about tradition, ethics, and religious change. Specifically, as co-founder of the group Eshel, he was one of the earliest voices calling for inclusion of LGBTQ individuals – gay people – within Orthodox Judaism. How do we do that? On the one hand, we must think deeply about how Torah speaks to this reality. At the same time, we must care for people living this reality right now. Rabbi Greenberg joins us to explore where Orthodoxy has been – and where it may be heading – on some of its most challenging and important questions. Here is a LINK to Eshel for more information.

What does it mean to remain faithful to a calling when the church itself says no? In this episode, Martha Tatarnic is joined by Rose Hudson‑Wilkin, Bishop of Dover, for a wide-ranging conversation rooted in her memoir, The Girl from Montego Bay. Drawing on her journey from a childhood in Jamaica to episcopal leadership in the Church of England, Bishop Rose reflects on poverty, belonging, the discovery of God's love, and the clarity of call that sustained her through repeated rejection. She speaks candidly about racism in the church, the pressure of being “the first,” and the cost of leadership when institutions lag behind the Spirit. The conversation also explores motherhood and ministry, Scripture as a lived practice, faith in public life, and what Bishop Rose believes the church most urgently needs now: confident Christians who live their faith beyond the church door. This episode offers pastoral wisdom and spiritual encouragement for anyone discerning vocation, navigating institutional resistance, or seeking a faith marked by courage, joy, and love. Topics Include Discerning a call without visible role models Growing up poor without growing up diminished Scripture as a source of belonging and confidence Racism, representation, and leadership pressure Motherhood and ministry as shared vocation Why the church needs confident Christians now Faith lived publicly, not defensively   The Rt Revd Rose Hudson-Wilkin, CD, MBE was born and raised in Jamaica before coming to the UK to study.

  Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, and his special guest Ham Gadd explore Near Death Experiences. It is pointed out that it is estimated nearly 68 million people in the United States have had a Near Death Experience. Ham Gadd is one of those who have had this experience and provides the details of his experience in this podcast. His experience is consistent with the Near Death Experiences of millions of people around the world. There have been numerous books written about these individuals and peer-reviewed research articles published in some of the most prestigious medical journals. It is acknowledged that skeptics point out that excess carbon dioxide in the bloodstream can affect vision in a way that people report seeing a tunnel of bright light and that lack of oxygen can cause hallucinations. Critics seem to be grasping at straws to disapprove that people having Near Death Experiences have visited heaven. One thing that is common for people who have had this experience is major life changes occur. These aftereffects are powerful, lasting, life enhancing, and seem to be a consistent pattern among those who have had a Near Death Experience.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, undertakes a close examination of the anti-ICE protests and the incident that sparked unrest in Minneapolis. He points out how people are encouraged to disobey local, state and federal officers of the law. He analyzes how the activist group known as ICE Watch is being supported and trained and is just a continuation of resistance to authorities across America. All these protests are a form of anarchy that opposes all forms of government and capitalism. Dr. Hall points out that anarchy results in riots, turmoil and unrest that can be hell on earth. It's pointed out that resistance to divine and secular rule began in the Garden of Eden. Dr. Hall looks at what Scripture has to say about anarchy and lawlessness. Listeners are reminded that the Scripture teaches that governmental authority and our leaders are put in their roles by God and that we have an obligation to adhere to our society's laws unless those laws are contrary to God's moral law. The podcast concludes by pointing out that participation in protests that threaten and interfere with local and federal police are illegal and biblically wrong.

In this episode of the Expositors Collective podcast, Jeff Figgs offers a sober and deeply pastoral charge drawn from Paul's final words to Timothy in 2 Timothy 3:10-11. Speaking from decades of ministry experience, Jeff reminds listeners that Christian leadership is ultimately measured not by recognition or platform, but by faithfulness, character, and endurance.Jeff serves as Senior Pastor of Calvary Chapel Greeley, where he has faithfully taught verse-by-verse through all 66 books of the Bible over the past 28 years. Ordained in 1992, he began the church in 1996 with a small Bible study that grew into a thriving congregation. He also hosts the radio programme Under the Fig Tree, co-hosts Calvary Live on GraceFM Colorado, and serves as a chaplain for the Weld County Sheriff's Office. That long obedience in ministry gives particular weight to this exhortation.The session is set in the context of Paul's final imprisonment in Rome. Knowing that his life is drawing to a close, Paul writes to Timothy, his “son in the faith,” warning that the last days will be perilous times. Paul describes a culture marked by misdirected love, counterfeit spirituality, and people who are always learning but never arriving at the truth. Against that backdrop, Paul draws a sharp contrast: “But you have carefully followed…”From there, Jeff walks through the qualities Timothy had observed firsthand in Paul.First, doctrine. Timothy had carefully followed Paul's teaching from the time he joined him in Lystra on the second missionary journey. Sound doctrine is shown to be essential, not optional. Drawing from Acts 20 and 2 Timothy 2:15, Jeff emphasises diligent study, faithful preparation, and rightly dividing the Word of truth. Congregations, he notes, can tell when the hard work has been done, and the goal is not to impress with humour or stories, but to leave people saying, “We heard from God.”Second, manner of life. Paul does not only point to what he taught, but how he lived. This unique phrase highlights the inseparable connection between message and messenger. Referencing passages such as 1 Corinthians 11:1 and Acts 20:18, Jeff stresses that a godly message must come from a godly life. The call is searching and personal: to be the same person outside the pulpit as inside it, so that those closest to us would never say, “Not you, pastor.”Third, purpose. Ministry is framed as stewardship rather than self-promotion. Faithfulness, not fame, is the true measure of success. Jeff reflects on the seasons of ministry that shape character over time, including suffering, grief, discouragement, and perseverance. He urges leaders to maintain a genuine devotional life, not merely study for sermons, reminding listeners that we cannot lead others where we ourselves are not walking.Throughout the session, one theme remains clear: godly character matters because we carry a godly message. In a world of perilous times and noisy voices, light does not argue, it is seen. Faithful ministry flows from lives shaped by the Word of God, empowered by the Spirit of God, and marked by humility, love, endurance, and integrity.This episode is a timely reminder that the church does not primarily need famous leaders, but faithful ones, men and women who will handle the Scriptures carefully and live them visibly, for the sake of the next generation.Jeff Figgs in 2019 on speech impediments, introversion and the call of God:  https://open.spotify.com/episode/3lirX6nlgYk1XDRHlIZsWM?si=515c1d9e1c7c4831For information about our upcoming training events visit ExpositorsCollective.com Join our private Facebook group to continue the conversation: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ExpositorsCollective

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, examines the US raid on Venezuela to bring the Venezuelan Pres. Nicholas Maduro and his wife to the US to stand trial for federal drug trafficking charges. After reviewing the charges against these fugitives from justice and pointing out that they were indicted during the Biden administration in March 2020, Dr. Hall points out that Trump was following historical footsteps of US interventions that have toppled corrupt and evil authoritative leaders and dictators in the past. The oppression directed at Christians living under the Maduro regime is discussed. The Bible provides detailed accounts of evil authoritative kingdoms interacting with Israel and God's sovereignty over these nations. It is pointed out that God disciplines the rulers of nations, removes kings and sets up kings (Daniel 2:20-21).

What does it mean for a church to thrive when membership is declining, resources feel scarce, and the future is uncertain? In this episode, Loren is joined by Kory Wilcoxson and Erin Cash to talk about their book, Thriving Church: What We Can Learn from Faithful Congregations, and the real-world practices of congregations navigating change with courage and clarity. Drawing from years of congregational research and ministry experience, the conversation explores how churches can remain faithful to their calling without being governed by fear, metrics, or nostalgia. Kory and Erin reflect on the importance of grounding ministry in Scripture, revisiting mission and vision regularly, and honoring the past without being constrained by it. Rather than equating thriving with growth, the episode makes a case for faithfulness, imagination, and adaptability—especially in mainline Protestant contexts where decline is often assumed to be the whole story. Topics include: Why thriving is not the same as numerical growth How fear distorts mission—and how clarity restores it What it looks like for a church to be both “dying” and thriving Honoring history without letting it become a barrier to change Why Scripture still matters deeply for faithful congregations This episode is a grounded, hopeful conversation for pastors and church leaders discerning how to lead well in seasons of transition.   Rev. Dr. Kory Wilcoxson has served as the Senior Pastor of Crestwood Christian Church in Lexington, Ky., since 2009.

For part 7 of 12 on “What is the Nicene Creed?” we unpack these lines:For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;        he suffered death and was buriedOn the third day he rose again            in accordance with the Scriptures;One of the wild things about the Creed is we go right from Jesus' birth, via Mary, to his death, at the hands of Pontius Pilate. And yet, even wilder still, is that our God in Christ suffered death. The crucifixion – a death used by the Roman Empire to terrify and suppress enslaved people who rebelled – and the resurrection – are at the epicenter of Christian faith. What does it mean that Jesus died this way? What does it mean that on the third day, he rose? We are delighted and amazed to welcome to the podcast the inimitable Rev.

When "The Family: A Proclamation to the World" was issued in 1995, some called it a "duh document". Today, it is a subject of controversy, dismissed by some as outdated and praised by others as a powerful, prophetic anchor. This lesson breaks down the nine paragraphs of this crucial declaration, understanding why the family is central to the Creator's plan. The Plan of God: Marriage between a man and a woman is "ordained of God" and the family is "central to the Creator's plan for the eternal destiny of His children". The pre-mortal realm involved accepting God's plan to "obtain a physical body" and "gain earthly experience to progress toward perfection". Gender is Essential: Gender (male and female) is an "essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose". All human beings are "beloved spirit son[s] or daughter[s] of heavenly parents". Eternal Families: The divine plan of happiness enables "family relationships to be perpetuated beyond the grave" through "sacred ordinances and covenants available in holy temples". The Divine Design and Responsibility Parenthood & Chastity: God's first commandment to Adam and Eve to "multiply and replenish the earth remains in force". The sacred powers of "procreation are to be employed only between man and woman, lawfully wedded as husband and wife". We affirm the "sanctity of life". Mothers and Fathers: By divine design , fathers are to "preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection". Mothers are primarily responsible for the "nurture of their children". Both are obligated to help one another as "equal partners". Success Principles: "Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ". Successful marriages are maintained on principles of "faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities". The Warning and the Call: The Proclamation warns that the "disintegration of the family will bring upon individuals, communities, and nations the calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets". It calls upon "responsible citizens and officers of government everywhere to promote those measures designed to maintain and strengthen the family as the fundamental unit of society". Call-to-Action: What is one way you can better live the principles of "equal partners" or "complete fidelity" this week? Share your commitment in the comments!
