A Plainfield man has been charged with yelling a racial slur at a child over the weekend. The DuPage County State's Attorney's Office says it happened in Naperville Saturday, after a girl reportedly damaged a fort being built by a nine-year-old boy.

James 4:1-12 - This message explores James 4:1–12 and teaches that the conflicts we experience with others often originate from sinful desires, pride, and divided loyalties within our own hearts. James calls believers to stop blaming external circumstances, humble themselves before God, submit to Him, resist the devil, and receive God's abundant grace.

James 3:13-18 - This message from James 3:13–18 explores the difference between worldly wisdom and godly wisdom. Using the analogy of competing operating systems, the message argues that our words, conflicts, and behaviors reveal what is happening in our hearts. The central challenge is not simply behavior modification, but allowing God to transform the heart so that wisdom produces peace, humility, mercy, and righteousness.

James 2:14-26 - This message unpacks James 2:14–26, where James challenges the idea of faith without action by asking whether such faith can truly save. It explains that faith without works is dead. The message also clarifies that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus, but genuine saving faith is always demonstrated through a transformed life and obedient action.

When Helen Whybrow isn't herding her flock of Icelandic sheep or in the paddock with a ewe that's giving birth to lambs, she can be found writing. This week, this shepherd was awarded Vermont's highest literary prize.Whybrow received the 2025 Vermont Book Award for creative nonfiction for her memoir, “The Salt Stones: Seasons of a Shepherd's Life.” The book has also been long-listed for the National Book Award and named a Best Book of 2025 by The New Yorker.“The Salt Stones” tells the story of tending sheep on a 200-acre farm that she and her husband, Peter Forbes, began restoring after acquiring it a quarter-century ago. Whybrow lyrically weaves a tale about the rhythms of life on the farm and how the lessons that she has learned there have informed every aspect of her life. The time span of the book juxtaposes one season of a sheep's life with 20 years of Whybrow's life, during which she gets married, has a daughter and cares for a mother with dementia.For Whybrow, farming has enabled her to fulfill her desire for belonging, which she says has preoccupied her for much of her life.“I've wrestled all my life with this tension between wanting to be a nomad and wanting to deeply root in a place,” she told me. “What I've come to understand here at Knoll Farm is that the more you participate in your place and your life, the deeper your sense of belonging becomes. It's not something you just step into that was ready made and you have to keep searching until you find it. It's something that you actually create by doing it on your own.”Whybrow grew up on a small farm in Plainfield, New Hampshire, the daughter of a physician and a social worker. She left home to attend Amherst College and travel the world, and landed back in New England to pursue a career as an editor for W.W. Norton, Orion Magazine and Milkweed Editions, the nonprofit independent press that published “The Salt Stones.” She is the author of two other books and editor of several anthologies and has been a visiting professor at Middlebury College. She and her husband run Knoll Farm in Fayston, an organic farm and home to purebred Icelandic sheep, and also a retreat center for social and environmental justice.Whybrow concedes that farming is “a blessing and a curse,” with many farmers struggling to survive and Knoll Farm itself constantly scrapping to make ends meet. But she said, “There's also something incredibly beautiful and rich about staying in one place. And like Richard Nelson says in one of my favorite books, ‘The Island Within,' ‘There's more to be learned from climbing the same mountain 1000 times than 1000 different mountains.'”Whybrow's life as a shepherd helped her deal with the grief of losing her mother. “When you're a sheep farmer, you lose a lot of animals,” she said. It helped her see death “as just part of the cycle and part of the seasonal turn.”“Having gone through that for so many years helped me let go of my mom and realize she's still there. She's kind of everywhere.”Whybrow concludes “The Salt Stones” by musing, “You don't have to become a sheep farmer to cultivate shepherd's mind, which is about finding a way to listen, to tend, and to immerse in the living world.”

What happens when you're ready to quit the sport you once loved? And what if the answer isn't more training, but more community? Juan Pablo, known as "the People's Principal" in Plainfield, New Jersey, brings raw honesty to this conversation. He talks about the letter his family sent confronting him about buying bikes with rent money. He shares how cycling became his medicine after serving in the Navy and dealing with PTSD. And he explains the difference between a superhero and a villain in a way that will stop you in your tracks. This episode covers the cost of triathlon, the balance between sport and family, why most endurance athletes are processing trauma, and what it means to train so others don't have to suffer the way you did. Juan Pablo completed sprint triathlons, XTERRA races, and two half Ironmans before injuries and financial realities brought him back to cycling full time. Now he races criteriums, hosts a Memorial Day weekend race around his school, and works with Coach David Lipscomb's CIS Collective to rebuild his foundation from the ground up.

Psalm 16:1-11 - This message unpacks Psalm 16 as a prophetic “song of victory” pointing to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It shows that true security, joy, and identity are found not in circumstances or worldly pursuits, but in God alone. Because Jesus rose from the dead, believers can live with unshakable hope, knowing that death is defeated and fullness of joy is found in God's presence.

Psalm 118:1-22 - This message explores Palm Sunday through Psalm 118, showing how Jesus entered Jerusalem not as a conquering political king, but as a sacrificial King bringing true peace.

Psalm 34:1-22 - This message on Psalm 34 explores what it means to truly trust God, not just in moments of ease but in seasons of uncertainty, fear, and waiting. Trust is shown not only through belief but through surrender—choosing God's way even when outcomes are unclear. A life of trust becomes a “song,” reflecting confidence in God's character, faithfulness, and control.

Psalm 31:1-24 - The message explores the spiritual practice of surrender—trusting God even when circumstances are uncertain or painful. Psalm 31 demonstrates David's willingness to place his life completely in God's hands despite fear, enemies, and distress. True surrender is not passive resignation but an active trust that God is faithful and in control.

Psalm 22:1-31 - The message on Psalm 22, reflects on how sorrow, suffering, and lament are real parts of the human experience and the Christian life. Scripture shows that God meets people in their pain and uses suffering to shape endurance, character, and hope in Christ. Because Jesus entered human suffering and carried it to the cross, believers can bring their sorrow honestly to God and find hope and transformation through Him.

In this profound exploration of Philippians 1:27–2:11, Tony Arsenal unpacks Paul's urgent call to gospel-centered unity in the face of both external persecution and internal division. Preaching to Christ Community Church in Plainfield, NH, Arsenal demonstrates how the Philippian church's brewing conflict between two prominent women threatened their witness and weakened their defensive posture against genuine opposition. The sermon's theological centerpiece—the Christ hymn of Philippians 2:5-11—is presented not primarily as a doctrinal treatise on the incarnation, but as the supreme pattern for Christian humility and sacrificial service. Arsenal challenges believers to assess their own conflicts, embrace sober self-esteem that esteems others higher, and embody the mind of Christ who emptied himself, becoming obedient even to death on a cross for our sake. Key Takeaways Unity is a Command, Not a Suggestion: Paul commands the Philippians to "think the same thing" and be "of one mind"—language far stronger than mere harmony or getting along. This unity encompasses doctrinal agreement, practical cooperation, and relational reconciliation, all essential for presenting a united front against opposition to the gospel. Internal Division Undermines Gospel Witness: The conflict between Euodia and Syntyche (Philippians 4:2-3) was not peripheral but central to Paul's concern. When believers are divided by petty squabbles or unresolved conflicts, they distract from the gospel message and allow the true enemies of the faith to gain ground without resistance. Humility Means Esteeming Others Higher: Biblical humility is not self-degradation or denying the gifts God has given you. Rather, it's having a sober, honest assessment of yourself while deliberately choosing to recognize and celebrate the giftings in others as more significant than your own accomplishments. Christ's Humiliation is Our Pattern: The incarnation and Christ's entire earthly life—from conception through crucifixion—constituted a sustained act of humiliation and obedient suffering. This was not merely God accommodating himself to our understanding, but the incarnate Son actually experiencing weakness, pain, persecution, and death as our example and substitute. Suffering for Christ is a Gift: Paul presents suffering for the sake of Christ not as evidence of weak faith or divine abandonment, but as a privilege granted by God. This suffering serves as a sign both of the eventual destruction of God's enemies and the certain salvation of his people. Practical Unity Requires Concrete Action: Unity is not achieved through vague commitments to "love God and love others" but through specific, agreed-upon practices—how the church handles requests for help, who makes decisions, how conflicts are resolved, and whether members are working toward the same vision. Reconciliation Cannot Wait: Jesus prioritizes reconciliation with an offended brother or sister even over worship at the altar. If you know someone has something against you—or if you're the one harboring offense—make it right this week, because coming to worship while unreconciled places you in opposition to God himself. Key Concepts The Military Metaphor of Standing Side by Side Paul's instruction to "strive side by side" (Philippians 1:27) deliberately evokes the image of ancient military formations, particularly the phalanx used by Greek and Roman soldiers. In this formation, soldiers would stand shoulder to shoulder with large shields overlapping, creating an nearly impenetrable defensive wall. The strength of the phalanx wasn't in individual prowess but in unified cohesion—when soldiers stood together, pressure from enemies actually reinforced rather than weakened their defense. Paul applies this tactical reality to the church: Christians facing opposition must present such a united front that external pressure only strengthens rather than fractures their fellowship. This requires not just agreement in principle but actual coordination of thought, spirit, and action. When believers are divided—bickering over personal preferences, nursing interpersonal grievances, or pursuing selfish ambition—they break formation, leaving gaps through which spiritual enemies can attack. The Philippian church, facing real persecution in a Roman colony, needed to grasp that their internal conflicts were tactical vulnerabilities that could prove fatal to their witness. The Incarnation as Sustained Humiliation The traditional Reformed understanding of Christ's "humiliation" encompasses his entire earthly existence from conception to burial, not merely his passion and crucifixion. Arsenal emphasizes that when Philippians 2:6-8 describes Christ "emptying himself" and "humbling himself," Paul has the whole trajectory of incarnate life in view. From the moment the eternal Son took on human nature in Mary's womb—experiencing the compression of birth, the skinned knees of childhood, the weariness of labor, the sting of rejection from family and friends, and ultimately the agony of crucifixion—every moment constituted an act of voluntary humiliation. This was not playacting; Christ genuinely experienced human weakness, limitation, suffering, and mortality. He "learned obedience through what he suffered" (Hebrews 5:8), meaning the incarnate Son actually underwent a process of human development and moral formation, though without sin. This comprehensive view of Christ's humiliation serves Paul's ethical argument: if the eternal Son of God willingly embraced such comprehensive lowliness for the sake of others, how much more should believers embrace inconvenience, discomfort, and self-sacrifice for the good of fellow Christians and the advancement of the gospel? Sober Self-Esteem vs. False Humility Arsenal challenges a common misunderstanding of Christian humility—the notion that godliness requires constant self-deprecation and denial of one's gifts and abilities. He argues that such "worm theology" actually dishonors God by refusing to acknowledge the work of the Holy Spirit in sanctification and the gifts distributed by the Spirit for the body's edification. True humility, as Paul describes it in Philippians 2:3-4, consists of having an honest, accurate assessment of yourself—recognizing your genuine gifts, calling, training, and spiritual progress—while simultaneously making the deliberate choice to recognize and celebrate others' gifts as more significant than your own. This is not a zero-sum calculation where acknowledging others requires diminishing yourself. Rather, it's an abundance mentality: "I'm genuinely good at X because God has gifted me, and I thank him for that; but when I see someone else gifted in Y, I'm even more excited about their contribution than my own." This perspective prevents both false humility (which can mask pride) and competitive jealousy (which destroys unity). It creates the conditions for genuine collaboration where believers work "side by side" without jockeying for position or recognition. Memorable Quotes "We certainly face real pressures to conform to the patterns of this world rather than to the pattern of Christ—that is the real enemy that Paul is encouraging and commanding the Philippians and therefore us to stand against. And we cannot do that if we don't have a united front." "Our salvation, both as individual Christians and also as the church as a whole, corporately, it actually brings about the destruction of our enemies. In the last day, when Christ makes all things right, he's not just taking the saints to heaven and then putting all of the wicked off in some other place. He descends with the voice of an archangel, he slaughters all of his enemies, and through that destruction of his enemies, he saves those who are his." "God is not calling us to think of ourselves as trash. He made us in his image. He's called us for his glory. He's empowered us by His Holy Spirit and we insult him when we don't acknowledge the gifts that he's given us. But what he is commanding us to do is to see the giftings in other people and to esteem those as higher than our own."

- This message, rooted in Psalm 118, explores why thankfulness should be the natural response of a believer—not just on special occasions, but every day of life.

Earth's most powerful leader discovers that the counsel he trusted most may soon be gone—just as the stakes become irreversible. When guidance disappears, the final responsibility cannot be delegated, delayed, or avoided. Final Exam by Sam Merwin Jr. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.When you're diving into the early days of sci-fi, one name you keep bumping into — even if you don't always recognize it — is Sam Merwin Jr., who makes his debut on the podcast today. Born Samuel Kimball Merwin Jr. on April 28, 1910, in Plainfield, New Jersey, he came into the world with storytelling in his blood: his father, Samuel Merwin Sr., was an established novelist and playwright. After finishing his BA at Princeton University in 1931, he also studied at the Boston Museum School of Fine Arts, and then spent the early 1930s in journalism — reporting for the Boston Evening American and later serving as New York bureau chief for The Philadelphia Inquirer. His first published science fiction story arrived in 1939, a tale called “The Scourge Below” in Thrilling Wonder Stories. In 1940 wrote a mystery novel, Murder in Miniatures, and over the years he continued to write both mysteries and science fiction, often under his own name and occasionally under pseudonyms like Matt Lee, Jacques Jean Ferrat, Carter Sprague, and others. Like many of his peers he even wrote a few comic book stories for DC's Strange Adventures and Mystery in Space.What really makes Merwin's impact in the genre interesting isn't just the fiction he wrote, but the work he did behind the scenes. In the 1940s and early 1950s, he became a key editor at some of the era's most influential science fiction magazines — Startling Stories, Thrilling Wonder Stories, Fantastic Story Quarterly, and Wonder Stories Annual.Our story comes near the end of his career as a science fiction author, published in Fantastic Universe in November 1955 on page 61, Final Exam by Sam Merwin Jr…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A factory worker wakes up far from Earth after a routine job triggers something no one warned him about. What he learns there forces a choice between keeping quiet—and deciding who gets to live longer back home.

Patrick is out this week with an injury so Chris is tackling a heavy hitter solo this time around. Ed Gein, who fashioned strange handicrafts from the skin of his victims is one of the most bizarre and legendary tales from the history of true crime. In the wake of the Ryan Murphy series "Monster" that dramatizes the life of Ed Gein that came out in 2025, this is a summary look at the whole story. The source for this episode was "Deviant" by Harold Schechter.

We explore the twisted mind of Ed Gein, whose gruesome killings inspired horror movies Pyscho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs. Gein was known for years as the local handyman in Plainfield, until it was uncovered in 1957 that he killed two women and robbed the graves of multiple other women.
