Podcasts about Peacemakers

Patrick Boatwright

A tour can change your clock, your appetite, and your sense of scale. Ours did all three. We flew across the Pacific in those elusive lie-flat pods, learned how to live inside a tiny sky room, then stepped into cities that start the party early and shut it down by midnight. Auckland turned into a nightly blackjack table with our road crew. Sydney strapped us to the top of the Harbour Bridge where the wind reminds you that steel has a heartbeat. We almost did the shark “dive” until we realized it was an aquarium nurse-shark swim—so we're saving the real cage for Perth.Onstage, Australia sang back. That's the magic of streaming meeting sweat and lights—songs born in Nashville echoing across arenas a hemisphere away. We discovered a cultural twist: seated sections stay seated out of courtesy, even while GA goes wild, so we're already scheming ways to design spaces that invite everyone to stand without guilt. The food? Fresh. The coffee? Espresso or nothing. Without omnipresent iPad tip prompts, generosity felt like choice, not pressure, and that small shift changed the tone of a day. Yes, we ate kangaroo on a kebab. Yes, it was good.Between shows, the news cut through: war with Iran. We wrestled with the same mix of dread, resolve, and hope you probably felt. We watched our pilots outfly missiles and felt awe and sorrow at once. It's messy to hold certainty and doubt in the same breath, but that's where we lived—on a bridge above Sydney, in a quiet hotel bar in Auckland, and backstage listening to a crowd finish a chorus we started years ago. Also, a 22-hour flight turned into a stand-off over a pod seat, and it became a lesson in boundaries: sometimes keeping your spot is the kindest thing you can do for your sanity.If you're here for tour stories, coffee talk, crowd psychology, or a grounded take on a loud headline, you'll feel at home. Hit play, then tell us: would you have given up your pod seat?

In the wake of last week's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame episode, Kevin and the Mayor check out documentaries about two of the nominees: Luther Vandross and Jeff Buckley. (Kevin also stumbled upon a 1985 movie starring Tatum O'Neal and Irene Cara that we suspect has never been seen by anyone else ever.) And we brave the mean streets of Allston, Massachusetts (featuring poorly shoveled sidewalks and drunk college kids) to see a couple of wonderful bands: Foxy Shazam (those glam rock maniacs responsible for the Peacemaker opening theme song) and Descartes a Kant (a Mexican quartet with Devo-style costumes and a super-cool retro-futuristic concept album). Plus: The Mayor is a guest on a couple of other podcasts (The Doctor's Beard and The 42cast) to discuss Doctor Who, Witchblade, and perhaps other nerd stuff. The Mayor on The 42cast!

2 Samuel 2:12-32 - Blessed are the Peacemakers (08 March 2026)

As we near the end of our series on the Beatitudes, we look at Jesus' words: “Blessed are the peacemakers.” In a world shaped by empire and conflict, Jesus offers a radically different vision of peace— which is not withdrawal, segregation, violence or collaboration, but the invitation to join Jesus in becoming a sacrificial shalom-maker. This teaching invites us to reconsider how followers of Jesus live faithfully in the midst of our own modern empires. Recorded March 8, 2026.

On this episode of The Disciple-Making Parent podcast, we continue our four-part series on biblical conflict resolution. We'll talk about why conflict is part of everyday life and how Scripture helps us respond with wisdom. We review the first two steps from Ken Sande's The Peacemaker and then focus on the decision point: when should we overlook an offense, when should we submit, and when should we go and gently restore.We walk through helpful criteria for making that call, like impact, responsibility, frequency, seriousness, and whether the issue is public or private. Then we cover practical, Christlike communication that aims for reconciliation, including listening well, asking clarifying questions, speaking humbly, and choosing the best setting for hard conversations. We also close with a clear warning about gossip and slander, and how to seek wise help without spreading harm. Topics Covered in This Week's Podcast01:20 Review02:30 Go, overlook, or submit?11:20 Wisdom for when to approach18:13 Go and gently restore39:39 Getting help while avoiding gossipResources From This PodcastBiblical Conflict Resolution Part 1- Introduction and the Call to Glorify GodBiblical Conflict Resolution Part 2- The Call to Get the Log Out of Our Own EyeThe Peacemaker, by Ken SandePursuing Peace, by Dr. Robert Jones

In a divided and contentious world, pastors and ministry leaders are called to lead as peacemakers. Mark DeYmaz joins Jason Daye to explore how Jesus-shaped faithfulness builds trust and witness over time.What does it look like for pastors and ministry leaders to lead as peacemakers in a divided world while remaining faithful to who God has called them to be?In this episode of FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye sits down with Mark DeYmaz, pastor, author, and longtime leader in the multiethnic church movement. Drawing from his latest book, Make Me an Instrument of Your Peace, Mark reflects on how ministry leaders can lean into peacemaking with clarity, courage, and compassion in contentious times.Mark challenges pastors to resist the temptation to become politicians or pundits and instead remain faithful shepherds who care deeply for their people and communities. He shares why chasing likes, views, or applause can undermine trust, and why consistent and faithful obedience over time ultimately strengthens a ministry leader's witness. Together, they explore how the Church's credibility today is shaped less by what people say and more by what others see through faithful presence and loving action.They discuss:What it means to lead as a peacemaker rather than a cultural combatantWhy faithfulness over time builds trust in polarized contextsThe danger of chasing visibility instead of pastoral integrityHow Matthew 5:16 shapes Christian witness in the 21st centuryPractical and often overlooked ways pastors can lead in peacemakingThis conversation invites pastors and ministry leaders to embrace a Jesus-shaped vision of leadership marked by humility, trustworthiness, and quiet faithfulness, offering hope for how the Church can reflect the beauty and love of Christ in a divided world.leading as peacemakers, peacemaking in ministry, pastoral leadership, Christian leadership in divided times, faithful ministry leadership, trust in leadership, Matthew 5:16, FrontStage BackStage, Mark DeYmaz, peacemaking and faithfulness, St. Francis, Peace PrayerLooking to dig more deeply into this topic and conversation?

The sky doesn't just turn; it transforms. We bring on pro storm chaser and tour leader Jason Weingart to take us into the heart of severe weather—where precision, patience, and a healthy fear keep you alive while a rotating monster chews across the Plains. Jason traces his path from third‑grade awe to 40,000‑mile spring seasons, explaining how he scouts targets days out, refines them 24–48 hours before go time, and then uses roads, radar, and drones to put guests right under the structure without losing the exit plan.We dig into the El Reno wake‑up call, the reality of EF5s that look like moving walls, and why “calm before the storm” is both cliché and absolutely true. Jason breaks down terrain friction, river myths, and why population spread and smartphones make tornadoes feel more common than the long record suggests. He's clear about safety: most events are EF1–EF2, and anchored shelters, interior rooms, and taking warnings seriously beat wishful thinking. Stranded on the road? He shares a last‑resort move that could save your life.Beyond the chase, we talk tour life—Dallas to OKC to Denver as climatology shifts north—plus late nights, batteries on charge, and teaching guests to forecast, shoot, and edit. Jason's drone work captures structure you can feel, including rare night silhouettes of a modern EF5. When insulation lifts and debris blooms, he shuts filming down and pivots to search and rescue. It's not about the shot anymore; it's about people.If you're curious about the science, the tactics, and the gut‑check moments that define storm chasing—from multi‑vortex stovepipes to why amateurs shouldn't tail a chase van—this conversation delivers. Follow Jason on Instagram and Facebook for footage that looks impossible and is painfully real.

Preaching from Matthew 5:9, how does the character of a Christian manifest itself as a peace maker?

The US and Israel launched a joint military operation against Iran on Saturday, killing Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Why did Trump decide (again) to attack Iran during negotiations on a nuclear deal with the Islamic Republic? How does he sell a new war in the Middle East, with potential US casualties, to people at home? What happens next for Iran? In this special collaboration with Today in Focus, Annie Kelly speaks to the Guardian's diplomatic editor, Patrick Wintour.

Alexandria, Virginia February 28, 1844  A pleasure cruise on the Potomac River turned into the deadliest single-day loss of senior government officials in American history when the world's largest naval cannon exploded on the deck of the USS Princeton. Secretary of State Abel Upshur, Secretary of the Navy Thomas Gilmer, and four others were killed instantly in front of four hundred horrified guests. President John Tyler survived only because someone handed him a glass of champagne at the foot of the ladder. Among the dead was David Gardiner, whose twenty-three-year-old daughter Julia fainted at the news and was carried off the ship in the President's arms. Four months later, she married him. The blast derailed the annexation of Texas, reshaped Tyler's cabinet, and launched a romance born from carnage aboard the Navy's most celebrated warship. The gun was called the Peacemaker. Nobody renamed it.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-historian--2909311/support.You can pay more if you want to, but rent at the Safe House is still just a buck a week, and you can get access to over 400 ad-free episodes from the dusty vault, Safe House Exclusives, direct access to the Boss, and whatever personal services you require.We invite you to our other PULPULAR MEDIA podcasts:If disaster is more your jam, check out CATASTROPHIC CALAMITIES, telling the stories of famous and forgotten tragedies of the 19th and 20th centuries. What could go wrong?

Send a textIn this episode, Fawn Ellerbrook is joined by Tabitha Caplinger & Chris Rowton to explore Matthew 5:9, diving deep into what it truly means to be peacemakers in a world filled with division and conflict. The Hebrew word 'shalom' reveals that biblical peace isn't simply the absence of conflict—it's about wholeness, oneness, and restoration even in the midst of turmoil. We discover that peacemaking requires intentional effort, starting with cultivating peace in our own relationship with God before we can offer it to others. This episode challenges us to examine our motives: are we speaking to be right, or are we speaking for the sake of heaven? Want to study further?

What does it REALLY mean when Jesus says “Blessed are the peacemakers”? Most people assume it means being nice or avoiding conflict… but this episode breaks down the deeper spiritual reality behind peace, grace, faith, and identity as children of God. Straight Bible Episode 3 dives deep into the Sermon on the Mount to unpack the biblical definition of peace, the supernatural connection between grace and peace, and why peacemaking is evidence of transformation — not the cause of it.In this episode, Matt and crew explore powerful scripture connections across Matthew, Romans, Psalms, Hebrews, and more, revealing how peace functions as a spiritual force, a kingdom culture, and a manifestation of God's work inside believers. They also tackle controversial topics like division in families, denominational structure vs personal relationship with God, and why pursuing peace sometimes requires spiritual separation.

Comedian Steve Agee (The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2) and comedian Erica Rhodes (Bring Back the Funny, Modern Family, Last Comic Standing) joined Jameela Jamil for one of those sessions that spiraled gloriously out of control.The conversation ran long because Steve told an extra story that was so catastrophically funny, so unnecessary, and so vividly described that it could not be left on the cutting room floor.What begins as a boisterous teenage party leads to catastrophic consequences, and one of the most graphic cautionary tales ever told on Wrong Turns. Erica nearly loses it, Jameela somehow has a worse story from the last couple of weeks that she'd forgotten to mention until now.It is gross. It is detailed. It is absolutely a warning to hydrate responsibly.Follow Steve Agee for more stories you may or may not be emotionally prepared for, and follow Erica Rhodes for sharp wit that remains impressively intact even under extreme narrative conditions.And as always, follow Wrong Turns (TikTok) for more stories that probably should have stayed inside people's heads.Jameela's Substack is A Low Desire To Please, you can also find her on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.Our consulting producer is Colin Anderson.Wrong Turns was created and produced by Jameela Jamil and Stewart Bailey.Listen to Wrong Turns on Amazon Music or wherever you find your podcasts.

A housewife, a shovel, and a chorus you can't stop chanting—meet the story engine behind Mary Kutter's breakout. We sit down with the Broken Bow recording artist to trace the wild path from a bootlegger's legacy in “Devil's Money” to the hard truth of “Lab Coat,” and the darkly funny new single “Bed of Roses.” What emerges is a masterclass in doing the work that most people only talk about: 5 a.m. runs, 452 writing sessions in a year, and an album‑a‑day habit that sharpened her ear for iconic intros and crowd‑binding post‑chorus chants.Mary opens up about the moment a simple church‑front video sent “Devil's Money” into millions of feeds, the flood of industry DMs that followed, and how trusted mentors helped her separate real partners from fast talkers. We dig into the writing room lightning that produced “Lab Coat” in 45 minutes, why fearless lyrics about the opioid crisis resonated nationwide, and how honest storytelling can outpace any ad spend. In the studio, Kurt Allison and Tully Kennedy break down the production moves—live band, tone over volume, and the “30 percent less” vocal note—that let Mary's character lead the record instead of the track.Then comes “Bed of Roses,” a country thriller with a wink, built on drums, a chant hook, and verses that talk straight. Born from criticism and refined with intent, it's the kind of song that makes you lean in and then sing along. Along the way we tackle label politics, the art of staying unwatered, building a set that breathes live, and why authenticity still slices through the algorithmic fog. If you care about country music that takes risks and pays them off, this one's for you.Hit play, then tell us the line that stuck with you. If you enjoy these deep dives into songwriting, production, and the grind behind the hits, follow the show, share with a friend, and leave a quick review so more listeners can find us.Follow Mary: www.marykutter.com______________________________________________________________________________________________SPONSORS: The Try That in a Small Town Podcast is powered by e|spaces!Redefining Coworking - Exceptional Office Space for Every BusinessBook a tour today at espaces.comFrom the Patriot Mobile studios:Don't get fooled by other cellular providers pretending to share your values or have the same coverage.

If you take one look at today's news headlines, it's likely that right now, peace seems like a pipe dream.But does Jesus call us to an impossible task in Matthew 5:9 when He says, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God”? Tune in to this episode to unpack the seventh beatitude, a call to imitate our God of peace as people of peace—which is Jesus' deep desire for His Church and a powerful witness to the watching world.If you want to keep digging into the themes in this episode, consider the following passages and reflection questions.Read Proverbs 19:11. Are there any offenses you're harboring that should be overlooked? How can you take a step toward forgiveness today?Read Proverbs 12:20. What impact would it have on your life to “plan peace” (ESV)? How does this motivate you to pursue peace this week?Read Romans 12:15. When you think about any existing conflict in your life, search your heart and ask the Holy Spirit to show you if you have done all that is possible to be at peace with others. If not, ask the Lord to show you your next step.4. Read Ephesians 2:14–17. How does this passage encourage you to pursue peace in your community?Enjoyed this podcast?

Send a text we slow down over Matthew 5:9: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” Jesus isn't blessing peace-lovers or peace-keepers—He's blessing peace-makers: people who do the costly work of moving relationships, communities, and even enemies toward God's shalom (wholeness, justice, and restored right-order). We explore the original language, why this was a radical statement under an empire that claimed “peace” through dominance, and how peacemaking is often cross-shaped: truth without contempt, accountability without revenge, boundaries without hatred. In a tribalized, algorithm-driven world that profits from conflict, this episode offers practical tools to become un-manipulable disciples—people who pursue repair, protect the vulnerable, and carry the family resemblance of the Father. Support the show If you have any questions about the subjects covered in today's episode you can find us on Facebook at the links below or you can shoot me an email at joe@buddywalkwithjesus.com One Stop Shop for all the links Linktr.ee/happydeamedia

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Friday morning, 20th February 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.We go straight to the Gospel of Matthew 5:9. Jesus says: “Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.”Peace (Shalom) - that is actually the name of our farm. It is the hallmark of a follower of Jesus Christ. Now some young people are asking the question, “What does the word 'hallmark' mean?” Well, I looked it up. This is what the literal definition of a hallmark is: It is a mark stamped on articles of gold, silver or platinum by the British assay officers certifying their standard of purity. So when you go into a jeweller's shop, and you want to buy a very special article, you normally turn it upside down, and you will see a hallmark stamped on it to certify that it is pure. Now, the hallmark of a follower of Jesus Christ is peace, and folks, come on let's be honest, where do you ever find peace in these days? Wherever Jesus went, the first thing he would say was “Shalom”, which means peace, the shalom of God be with you. “Blessed are the peacemakers”, the Lord says, “because they shall be called the sons of God”. Not peace-lovers - no, no, no! A peace-lover will do anything to have peace. A peace-maker sometimes has to cause trouble in order to bring peace. Remember before the Lord was betrayed, what did He do? He washed the disciples' feet. Have you ever had your feet washed? I have. It is a very humbling thing. A man came to see me once and he said, “I want to speak to you”, so I went to see him. He was standing outside and he brought out a basin, he brought out a towel, he even brought a container with water in it. He said, “I want to wash your feet, Angus.” I said, ”No, I don't feel worthy, please…” “The Lord has sent me here to wash your feet”. It was a very humbling thing and the peace of God was present with that man. I will never forget it as long as I live. Let us go out today and be a band of feet-washers that tell people and show people the love of God through the peace in our hearts.Jesus bless you and goodbye.

Puntata a cura di Untimoteo.Peacemaker, la prima serie TV di James Gunn, è una commedia action fracassona e divertente, con diverse citazioni dal mondo horror sci-fi e pochissimo fan service. La dimostrazione che con una visione originale anche le idee più bislacche possono funzionare. E, forse, una finestra sull'evoluzione dell'universo espanso della DC Comics. Dopo l'esordio del 2022, la seconda stagione è uscita in Italia da poco (gennaio 2026), su HBO Max.Christopher Smith è un combattente dotato di forza e resistenza ben oltre le normali capacità umane. Ha anche una notevole destrezza con qualunque tipo di arma - e una serie di elmetti dalle più svariate e letali funzioni. Viene reclutato da un'agenzia paragovernativa allo scopo di sventare una minaccia extraterrestre. Da qui si innesca una serie di situazioni assurde che trascendono il genere action per sfociare spesso nella commedia demenziale. Tra sparatorie, battute, esplosioni, alieni."10 minuti 1 serie" è il format del podcast di Mondoserie che racconta appunto una serie in dieci minuti (più o meno!).

A 19-year-old drove three hours to sit at our table and lit the room on fire—in the best way. Meet Caroline Joyous: musician, TPUSA ambassador, and relentless voice who found her calling when churches closed and her mom's salon went dark. She walks us through how a quiet teenager became a public advocate, why she ties pro-life conviction to civic duty, and how she handles daily hate without losing heart.We dig into what Turning Point USA actually does—voter registration, local races, church mobilization, and outreach that targets Gen Z where they live. Caroline shares personal memories of Charlie Kirk's encouragement and the one word he gave her that stuck: relentless. From there, we tackle the flashpoint everyone's still arguing about: Super Bowl halftime. We compare the NFL spectacle with TPUSA's alternative featuring Kid Rock and Gabby Barrett, unpack the family standards debate, and ask why institutions keep ignoring their core audience. It's a wider conversation about culture, unity, and building alternatives when the mainstream won't budge.For a change of pace, we vent about small-but-real etiquette fails—movie theater whisperers and biohazard bathrooms—before flipping the mic. Caroline asks for songwriting advice, and we get practical: write from truth, not for approval; let lived moments anchor your lyric; move people before you try to move charts. The through line is courage with kindness—show up, speak clearly, and keep going when it gets loud.If you're ready for faith, free speech, and a Gen Z perspective with backbone, press play. Then tell us your take on the halftime controversy, the best way to reach young voters, and the songwriting rule you live by. Subscribe, leave a rating, share with a friend, and drop your comments—we'll read them and keep the conversation going.______________________________________________________________________________________________SPONSORS: The Try That in a Small Town Podcast is powered by e|spaces!Redefining Coworking - Exceptional Office Space for Every BusinessBook a tour today at espaces.comFrom the Patriot Mobile studios:Don't get fooled by other cellular providers pretending to share your values or have the same coverage.

What if you were wiser with relationships? James 3:13-18 13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.  14 But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.  15 Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. 16 For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. 17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. 18 Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness. James 4:1-2 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you? 2 You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God.    The 5 wisdom literature books of the Bible: Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs Job 2:13 Then they sat on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights. No one said a word to him, because they saw how great his suffering was. Job 13:5  If only you would be altogether silent! For you, that would be wisdom.   Psalm 1:1-3 Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, 2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. 3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers.     Proverbs 13:20 Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.   Ecclesiastes 4 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: 10 If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.   11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? 12 Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.   13 Better a poor but wise youth than an old but foolish king who no longer knows how to heed a warning.    Song of Songs 2:7 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.     Proverbs 21:19 Better to live in a desert than with a quarrelsome and nagging wife.   Wisdom for relationships includes peace, priorities, and patience.      What would the wiser you do? 

In Kingdom Manifesto: The Revolution of the Blessed, Jesus launches a movement that challenges the world's idea of success. His Beatitudes are a manifesto for a new kind of revolution—one built on mercy, meekness, and grace. Together, we'll discover what it means to live beautifully and courageously in a world desperate for something different.

Join Bay City Director Tamara Schlatter along with Senior Pastor Josh Pardee and Executive Pastor Nate Murray as they explore the message from week 7 of our current series titled Kingdom Manifesto.

Brad and Paul interview peacemaker John Ashworth, who has spent his life bringing peace to Sudan, long torn by ethnic and political violence. John has been key in negotiating peace settlements and bringing peace to this troubled region and his expertise with the realities of peace as the resolution to violence is grounded in real-world reality and experience.  If you enjoyed this podcast, please consider donating to support our work.

What happens when a night meant for music turns into a tug-of-war for the mic? We unpack the Grammys with a clear eye for craft and a low tolerance for noise. From Hardy's layered storytelling on “MacArthur” to Bruno's masterclass in musicianship, we weigh what actually moved us—and what was engineered only to trend. Then the room shifts: Jelly Roll's acceptance speech lands like a testimony, bold and unapologetic. We ask the hard question—can that kind of moment be a “bit”?—and find the answer in the conviction that carried the words.We dig into country's slate too. Tyler Childers' win, Zach Top's nod to tradition, and Chris Stapleton's steady excellence show how roots can still surprise. Along the way we peel back the industry habit of turning every podium into a soapbox. There's a place for politics and a place for songs; when new artists finally get a sliver of airtime, let them own it. That theme echoes in a fan-story from the road: one loud voice yelling “Play The Truth” between every song can sink an entire section's night. Respect the setlist, respect the room, and the music gets bigger for everyone.We add a few laugh breaks—on mustaches and throwback looks, drive‑thru indecision, texting etiquette, and even an Australia shark‑cage maybe‑yes from the crew—before closing with Super Bowl predictions and halftime curiosity. Through it all, we stay anchored to what lasts: honest writing, tight performances, and the kind of moments that don't need a headline to matter. If you're here for real talk on country music, pop spectacle, and the thin line between art and agenda, you're in the right place. Subscribe, share with a friend, and drop your take on the most powerful—and most head‑scratching—moment of the night.______________________________________________________________________________________________SPONSORS: The Try That in a Small Town Podcast is powered by e|spaces!Redefining Coworking - Exceptional Office Space for Every BusinessBook a tour today at espaces.comFrom the Patriot Mobile studios:Don't get fooled by other cellular providers pretending to share your values or have the same coverage.

A late-night ride near home. A driver fleeing police. A life cut short. We sit down with Haley Kilman to trace the night her partner, competitive cyclist Blaise Schaeffer, was killed in a hit-and-run—and the relentless search for driver Allen Samir Bautista Milla, who ran on foot and hasn't been seen since. Haley walks us through the frantic morning calls from another state, the agonizing wait for a warrant and a usable photo, and the grind of canvassing Nashville with updated flyers and a $5,000 reward for a lead that results in arrest.We dig into what's known: the attempted traffic stop for erratic driving, the crash damage that disabled the car, the companion who helped identify the suspect, and the jurisdictional complexity at the county line. Beyond the case details, we confront a hard truth about public reaction: how quickly outrage fades and how easily blame shifts to cyclists. The evidence at the scene tells a different story—one about speed, disregard, and a danger zone that would have endangered anyone on that stretch of road. This isn't a bike debate; it's a call for accountability and safety on streets we all share.We also honor Blaise beyond the headlines. He hit a 12,000-mile goal the night before he died. He was top of his class, on homecoming court, a college soccer player, and the kind of person who made rooms feel welcoming. His family is setting up a scholarship at Luther College to keep his legacy alive. Haley's focus is both love and public service: get a face and a name in front of the right eyes, move the investigation forward, and keep another family from living this story.

In this powerful and deeply honest episode of Finding Faith Above, Shelby sits down with Lindsay, a woman of strong faith and biblical conviction, to tackle one of the hardest tensions facing Christians today: Are we called to keep the peace, or to make peace rooted in truth? This conversation goes where many avoid. Together, Shelby and Lindsay unpack the difference between peacekeeping (appeasement and silence) and peacemaking (love grounded in truth) and why confusing the two can have eternal consequences. Sparked by Lindsay's widely shared open letter to her LDS friends, this episode compassionately explores why Christians and Latter-day Saints often use the same language but mean very different things when it comes to God, Jesus, salvation, and truth. These aren't minor theological disagreements. They are foundational questions that shape eternity. You'll hear Lindsay's personal faith journey, including how biblical literacy transformed her walk with Christ, humbled her self-righteousness, and gave her courage to speak truth even when it cost her relationships, comfort, and approval. This is not an episode about winning arguments. It's about loving people enough to tell the truth. Shelby and Lindsay also dive into: Why unity without truth is not biblical peace How to lovingly engage LDS friends without compromising the gospel Why asking hard questions is not dangerous, but necessary How archaeology, ancient manuscripts, and apologetics affirm the reliability of the Bible Why Christianity is an evidence-based faith, not blind belief How biblical literacy equips you to recognize counterfeit gospels If you've ever felt torn between loving people and standing firm in truth, this episode will give language, clarity, and courage to that tension.

A man becomes convinced that time itself is counting him down, and every decision suddenly feels fatal. When certainty collides with control, survival may depend on breaking the patterns that once defined a life. The Big Tick by Ross Rocklynne.

Today he drops back into the podcast with another gem, originally unleashed in the very first issue of Cosmos Science Fiction and Fantasy Magazine in September 1953.

The post Blessed Are The Peacemakers – Matthew 5:9 – February 3, 2026 first appeared on Enduring Word.

Epstein files round three is here. 3.5 million pages of mind numbing emails, accusations and reveals all painting a clear picture of the level of moral bankruptcy and social decay that leads our nation. The elites are pulling the strings, the people are at each others throats and the oligarchy is laughing itself to sleep. Time for us to step back, take a deep breath and realize how much we have in common, rather than focus on the things we are programmed to believe that divide us. Time to be American's again. Time to be Peacemakers... for they will be called the son's of God.  #BardsFM_Morning #PuppetsOnAString #Peacemakers Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com EnviroKlenz Air Purification, promo code BARDS to save 10%: www.enviroklenz.com EMPShield protect your vehicles and home.

A sheet of ice turned Nashville into a maze of downed lines, frozen driveways, and tough choices—stay put, chase a generator, or brave the roads that turn cars into curling stones. We trade real stories from a chaotic week: the house that became a money pit overnight, the water heater that erupted sediment like a geyser, a dog's hospital dash, and the neighbor with a torch who became a winter superhero. Along the way, we spotlight a small-town moment that stopped us cold: an 11-year-old lifting a tree trunk off his grandpa's leg. That's the kind of grit we're here to amplify.From the storm we slide straight into the studio, where hype meets reality. We break down what actually happens when you pitch songs to artists and producers: why credibility disappears when you send five “perfect” tracks that miss; why the fire emoji doesn't turn a good idea into a great cut; why keys, phrasing, and demo voices can make or break a listen. We talk camps, trust, and the band dynamic—how long relationships shape the sound, why great outside songs still break through, and how an artist's ear isn't swayed by sales copy. Honest feedback matters more than comfort, and rejection is often the teacher that sharpens your pen.There's heat here too—on selective outrage, on empathy that shouldn't be partisan, on keeping the temperature down when tensions run high. But we keep coming back to the core: show up for your people, prepare for the next storm, and do the work. Whether it's clearing ice with a T-square or cutting noise in your inbox, consistency wins. If you're a songwriter, you'll leave with hard-earned guidance on pitching, demos, and crafting lyrics and melodies that hold. If you're here for community and small-town stories, you'll hear proof that character shows up when the power goes out.If this resonates, tap follow, share it with a friend who'd appreciate the honesty, and leave a quick review to help more folks find the show.

There were two men named Jesus at the trial. One was a murderer and rebel. The other was the Messiah. The crowd chose the criminal over the Savior.But here's the real question: Which Jesus would YOU choose today?In this message, we break down the shocking differences between Jesus Barabbas and Jesus Christ—and why we're still tempted to follow the wrong one. From making a name for ourselves to shaking peace instead of making it, this is a challenge every Christian needs to hear.
