Sunday Celebration Service, December 14th, 2025 Pastor Jesse leads a message on how each gospel tells the story of Jesus.

In a blessing that is also a prophecy, Balaam sees, in the latter days, "a Star coming out of Jacob" who will "crush the foreheads" of Moab. It is clear that this Star is a majestic ruler, but not an ordinary majestic ruler.Balaam sees the One who presently exists (because He has always existed) but is not presently present.

Host Natalie Grueninger speaks with Dr Christina Faraday about her new book, 'The Story of Tudor Art', a first-of-its-kind survey of 16th-century English art. They explore how Tudor art functioned as communication and status—covering portraits, miniatures, tapestries, household objects, royal effigies, patrons from kings to middling professionals, and artists such as Holbein, Hilliard, and lesser-known women makers. The episode also discusses imported art, surprising everyday objects that reveal court life, and an upcoming exhibition, Tudor Contemporary, which pairs modern responses with historical works.

Join us this Advent season as we explore the profound themes of waiting and healing in our latest sermon, "Portraits of a Savior: The Healer." Delve into the dual anticipation of Christ's first coming and His promised return, as we reflect on the gift of healing that encompasses physical, spiritual, emotional, and relational restoration. Through powerful scripture and personal stories, we will unpack the blessings of being present in our struggles and trusting in God's timing. Discover how to live as beacons of hope and light in the world, embodying God's love and compassion as we await the fulfillment of His promises.

We learn from Jacob's blessing on Judah in Genesis 49 that the seed of the Woman in Genesis 3:15 is a royal seed. Underlying the conflict between nations, between husbands and wives, between employer and employees is the question: "Who will rule?"God's royal Scepter belongs to only one individual - Shiloh - who has routed the Serpent and alone has the right to reign.

In this episode, I sit down with drummer Jordan Perlson for a deep dive into collaboration, sound, and how we listen to music in 2025. I've admired Jordan's playing for a long time, especially with Becca Stevens, and it was a joy to finally talk with him about his journey and how he thinks about music.We start with how he first connected with Becca Stevens and her band in New York, and what it means to show up as a collaborator while still protecting your own musical “mission statement.” Jordan talks about the tension between being a supportive hired gun and staying true to his instincts – and how, as he gets older, it's harder to ignore that inner compass.Jordan shares some of the drummers who have shaped his ears over the years, from John Bonham and Will Calhoun to Bill Stewart and Jay Bellerose – and why the “magic” of certain players only grows with time. We get into Bellerose's multi-percussionist approach to the drum set, compensating for supposed “weaknesses,” and how those limitations can actually lead to a more unique sound.From there, we talk about Jordan's move from New York to Nashville in 2016:  what he was (and wasn't) seeing in 10-year-old versions of himself on the New York scene, and why he decided to build a life in a place where quality of life and long-term sustainability felt more achievable. I loved hearing how his “wide net” hustle in New York evolved into a more focused, intentional approach in Nashville, where his priority list was: Jeff Coffin, Victor Krauss, Adrian Belew – and then figuring out how to be musically meaningful to them.Jordan also shares beautiful stories from touring with Adrian Belew, including Adrian's fearlessness as a guitarist, singer, and composer, and what it's like to sit inside that kind of energy every night.We spend a good chunk of time talking about how we listen to music now versus how we listened when we grew up. Jordan reflects on the difference between buying a record or cassette for one song and then slowly falling in love with the deep cuts, versus today's playlist culture, where it's easy to skip anything that doesn't hit instantly. We compare notes on hearing albums at 14 versus revisiting them in our late 40s, and how our relationship with certain songs completely changes over time.Later in the episode, we get into:Growing up outside Philadelphia, going to Berklee, and why classical percussion never really clicked for Jordan, beyond a love of snare drum and books like Portraits in RhythmHis experience teaching – from a stint at MTSU to working with already-professional drummers looking to refine specific skills – and why an intermittent, online-friendly lesson model actually fits his students best.His work with Guthrie Trapp's trio (and their weekly gig at the Underdog in Nashville), the expanded Guitar Party project with Guthrie, Tom Bukovac, Jed Hughes, Tim Marks, and Jimmy WallaceThe trio with Jeff Coffin and Victor Krauss, their first record together, and the almost-finished follow-up featuring guests like Mike Stern, Jerry Douglas, Béla Fleck, and Sam BushPlaying on Jessica Simpson's recent JD McPherson-produced projects and how surprising (in the best way) that music isThe realities of remote recording from his home studio: the freedom, the creativity, the weird waiting-game around revisions, and why some magic can only happen when a band is in the room togetherJordan is thoughtful, honest, and funny, and this conversation felt like hanging out with a friend who happens to be one of the most musical drummers on the planet. I had a great time talking with him, and I think you'll really enjoy hearing how he sees the instrument, the industry, and the future of making records.To learn more about Jordan, please visit his website.Music from the Episode:e (The Adrian Belew Power Trio)Thank you for listening.

Trevor Teel - Portraits of Spiritual Strength

The first half of Genesis 3:15 tells us why there is trouble, and turmoil, and despair in the world. The second half of Genesis 3:15 is the first gospel promise that God has a plan to do something about the way the world is and to restore it to how He meant it to be.The story of history and of the Bible is the story of two seeds in conflict.

Send us a textIn this episode of the SheClicks Women in Photography Podcast, host Angela Nicholson is joined by British street photographer Dawn Eagleton, who has built a strong reputation for her honest and captivating street portraits. Dawn's approach is rooted in connection, authenticity and quiet confidence, making her images not only visually compelling but emotionally resonant.Dawn shares how she first discovered her passion for photographing people candidly in public spaces and how her instincts led her towards a style defined by raw, unposed portraits. Throughout the conversation, she talks about how she overcame the fear of photographing strangers, the subtle cues she uses to read body language and why respectful interaction is often more powerful than asking for permission.As Angela and Dawn explore the challenges and rewards of street portraiture, they also discuss the importance of eye contact, how to capture people in their natural state and how Dawn built up the courage to approach subjects in a calm and open way. Her thoughts on authenticity, presence and emotional awareness offer helpful insights for any photographer looking to work more confidently in public.Later in the episode, Dawn shares the story behind her first self-published book Through the Glass, a collection of portraits taken through windows that reflect both physical distance and emotional proximity.This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about street photography, looking to build confidence behind the lens, or interested in photographing people in a more honest and respectful way.Connect with DawnWebsiteInstagramFacebookTakeawaysConfidence grows with practice – street photography becomes easier the more you face the initial discomfort and keep shooting.Authenticity matters – unposed, candid moments can tell more powerful stories than staged portraits.Connection is key – a small gesture like a smile or nod can create mutual understanding and respect.Learn to read body language – understanding how people react helps you decide when to photograph or walk away.Your presence affects the picture – how you carry yourself influences how your subject responds, even if they don't notice you at first.Photography is more than the image – it's also about the moment, the experience and the personal growth that comes with it.FujifilmThis podcast is supported by Fujifilm, one of the best-known photography brands in the world.

Have you ever wondered how portraits of missing people are done years later, as families desperately renew appeals for information about a loved one?Tim Widden is a Forensic Artist and age progression portraits are his speciality. He joins guest host Tom Dunne to discuss.

From the 1720s to the 1940s, parents in the kingdom and later colony of Dahomey (now the Republic of Benin) developed and sustained the common practice of girl fostering, or "entrusting." Transferring their daughters at a young age into foster homes, Dahomeans created complex relationships of mutual obligation, kinship, and caregiving that also exploited girls' labor for the economic benefit of the women who acted as their social mothers. Drawing upon oral tradition, historic images, and collective memories, Jessica Reuther pieces together the fragmentary glimpses of girls' lives contained in colonial archives within the framework of traditional understandings about entrustment. Placing these girls and their social mothers at the center of history brings to light their core contributions to local and global political economies, even as the Dahomean monarchy, global trade, and colonial courts reshaped girlhood norms and fostering practices. In The Bonds of Kinship in Dahomey: Portraits of West African Girlhood, 1720–1940 (Indiana UP, 2025) Reuther reveals that the social, economic, and political changes wrought by the expansion of Dahomey in the eighteenth century, the shift to "legitimate" trade in agricultural products in the nineteenth century, and the imposition of French colonialism in the twentieth all fundamentally altered—and were altered by—the intimate practice of entrusting female children between households. Dahomeans also valorized this process as a crucial component of being "well-raised"—a sentiment that continues into the present, despite widespread Beninese opposition to modern-day forms of child labor. Dr. Jessica Reuther is an associate professor of African and world history at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, USA. She came to Ball State after earning her PhD in African History from Emory University in Atlanta, GA, in 2016. Dr. Reuther is a historian of Africa, specializing in Atlantic West Africa and French West Africa from the 16th century to the present. She has conducted archival and oral history research in Benin, Senegal, France, Switzerland, and the United States. You can learn more about her work here.

Although they cater to different senses, photography and music share much in common. In both these arts, timing, rhythm, and mood are key. It's been a while since we've mixed photography and music on the show, so we're particularly excited about today's chat with two photographers who share a passion for documenting musicians and their fans—in particular, devotes of punk and indie rock. From early memories of being truly moved by music to practical tips about photo access, image rights and restrictions, plus the complexities of organizing your work for a book, the conversation doesn't miss a beat. So, turn up the volume as Bootsy Holler reminisces about dropping into the Seattle music scene in the early 1990's to capture the raw energy of her favorite bands, now compiled in the book Making It: An Intimate Documentary about the Seattle Indie, Rock and Punk Scene. And Chris Ortiz describes how the house parties he captured at a punk commune in Kansas served as the foundation for his skills as a music photographer with a keen eye for differentiating himself in the photo pit. As Chris points out when it comes to preparing for a show. "It goes back to knowing that music and knowing the band, and being able to sit back and say, Yes, I am a fan of the band, but I also am professional, so this is what I'm going to look for when the band comes out."

Her photos have been exhibited and published internationally and are included in the permanent collection of the Grammy Museum. In 2019 she published the monograph, TREASURES: objects I've known all my life.
