Nights in Stereo isn't just a band—it's a story nearly two decades in the making. The LA-based trio, made up of 9-1-1: Lone Star's Ronen Rubinstein, Jonny Shoer, and Rodrigo Rodarte, recently released their debut EP Second Nature—a collection that fuses retro-grunge, shoegaze, and indie pop into something cinematic, emotional, and timeless. In this episode, the band opens up about the friendships and chance encounters that shaped their path, how the pandemic sparked a new creative era, and the process of reimagining old demos into something fresh and powerful. We also dive into Ronen's balance between acting and music, the unique universe the band has built for their fans, and what lies ahead now that Second Nature is out in the world. Whether you're a longtime fan or just discovering their lo-fi late-night sound, this conversation pulls you straight into the heart of Nights in Stereo's journey.

Names carry meaning. In his birth account, Matthew introduces two names that reveal who Jesus truly is. He is called Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins. He is called Immanuel, because he is God with us. n this sermon, we reflect on how these two names reveal the character and identity of Jesus: He is God incarnate who has come near to save sinners, and his presence never leaves us.Series Description: Jesus is the hero of all of Scripture, the center of the biblical story, and the most important figure in history. The Gospel of Matthew gives us a firsthand look at the life and teachings of Jesus. It stands as a “bridge” between the Old and New Testaments, grounding us in the rich story of Israel while revealing the in-breaking reality of the kingdom of heaven. Through this preaching series, we seek to help people encounter the gospel of the kingdom and embody it as flourishing disciples who live under the gracious rule of God.

Hostkou prvního z podcastů doplňujících reportážní sérii textů o alternativní spiritualitě Neříkejte tomu ezo, byla religionistka Zuzana Kostičová z katedry religionistiky Husitské teologické fakulty. Jedna z největších domácích expertek na alternativní spiritualitu se k tématu kdysi dostala skrze svůj odborný zájem o náboženství amerických Mayů. Na svém youtubovém kanále zveřejnila sérii přednášek o alternativní spiritualitě nahrané v době pandemie covidu. Dvacet tři přednášek a seminářů můžeme doporučit pro hlubší ponor do tématu. V podcastu jsme si povídali o znacích alternativní spirituality, o jejích kořenech i vývoji v posledních letech, o konspiračním myšlení a představách o konci světa i o tom, proč ji neoznačovat slůvkem „ezo“. Podcasty a texty k sérii Neříkejte tomu ezo vznikly díky podpoře Nadačního fondu nezávislé žurnalistiky.

The letter 'N' is the key to understanding the Bible. Rise, decline, anticipation – this is the story of the Old Testament, and the story of your life may follow a similar pattern. In the introduction to Matthew's Gospel, we learn that the arrival of Jesus is both a culmination and a new beginning. Jesus Christ is the focal point of history – and because he is, we should orient our lives around him.Series Description: Jesus is the hero of all of Scripture, the center of the biblical story, and the most important figure in history.

In this episode of The Catholic Couple Podcast, we sit down with author, speaker, and Catholic dad, Bobby Angel to dive into his newest book, The Postmodern Predicament (Sophia Institute Press). Together, we unpack the four major periods of philosophy—ancient, medieval, enlightenment, and postmodern—and explore how each has shaped the way our culture thinks, feels, and lives today.We discuss the role of beauty and architecture in shaping the human soul, the rise of wokeism and cancel culture, and how Catholics can navigate these cultural challenges with clarity and hope. Bobby also shares pastoral recommendations on how we can move forward as disciples of Christ in an age of confusion.We even touch on his other new book, Frassati Field Guide (Ave Maria Press), an 8-day retreat inspired by soon-to-be saint Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati.

In this sermon, we explore the Bible's vision of intentional transformation, summarized powerfully in Romans 12:1-2. Every human being is being transformed. Change is not something only religious people seek; it's something every human being seeks. How do God's grace and our purposeful effort fit together in the pursuit of change? That's the question we seek to answer in this sermon.

Two things: first, we did not want this to be episode 100, so we are instead releasing it as a bonus episode (and who knows how many subsections episode 99.5 will ultimately have).Second, Ezra Pound said to "make it new" (to which I have always added "again"), in reference to the modernist literary movement, and I think about our boy Ezra when we talk about the advent of a "new" meta. As we will discuss in this episode, it could be that the "new" meta is really just the same kind of meta we have faced before (strong supports defining power level), just with new faces. Regardless, you will love and enjoy this episode.Good luck to everyone at NOVA.Join the Slack!There is a sense in which the community talks about how the meta we are in

In this sermon, preached by one of Coram Deo's church planting partners, Dave Comeau, we explore what it means to follow examples who know where they are going and who also know where they belong.To be human is to seek to imitate and follow someone. Human beings are creatures who gravitate toward the examples of others, whether for good or for ill.

Superman is the biggest blockbuster of the summer, and yes, there's a little wokie-ness throughout. But, the real issue is the worldview tug-of-war between polytheism and raw humanist-existentialism. Kansas dad and Krypton dad are arguing it out, but really, they're both wrong. Discerning these major motion pictures requires pretty highly-calibrated worldview glasses and an ear for the internal contradictions. But would a 14-year-old kid discern it, or just meld right into it? This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Could Supreme Court overturn homosexual marriage ruling?; Answers in Genesis' new Truth Traveler attractions, Anglican Church of Nigeria horrified by lesbian bishop in Wales) 2.

In this sermon honoring Coram Deo's 20th birthday, Pastor Bob unpacks three aspects of a coram deo approach to gospel ministry.In 2 Corinthians 4, the Apostle Paul describes his conviction that gospel ministry is to be done "in the sight of God." This verse was one of the foundational texts behind the name of Coram Deo Church.

It's Witness Wednesday! In this episode of Wretched Radio, Todd Friel engages in a series of dialogues with students on campus in Gainesville, GA. Friel challenges their theological stances, encouraging them to contemplate their paths to heaven, sin, and the core tenets of Christianity. Segment 1: • Seventh-Day Adventist believes salvation is through commandments and Sabbath; admits breaking them. • Todd shows law reveals guilt; salvation is by grace in Christ alone. • Urged to repent and trust Jesus' finished work, not his own. Segment 2: • Sikh student believes in reincarnation and good works; admits moral failures. • Todd explains all die once, face judgment, and fall short. • Presents gospel: Jesus took punishment, offering forgiveness to all who repent. Segment 3: • United Methodist student is polite, but unsure of gospel, no assurance of salvation. • Todd explains sin, judgment, and Christ's atonement as only hope. • Challenged to examine if he's truly trusted Christ. Segment 4: • Two postmodern students believe all paths lead to happiness; reject absolute truth. • Todd shows opposing beliefs can't both be true; Jesus' claim is exclusive. • Gospel offered as God's kindness: turn to Christ who died for sinners. ___ Thanks for listening!

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. This summer, we're taking a look around the world and seeing God is at work. And this week, we will be hearing stories of what God is doing in Europe. Europe is perhaps one of the most post-modern places on the planet, and yet, God is moving in mighty ways through this continent. Even in these past years of war and great political turmoil, hundreds of thousands of people have given their lives to Christ. Some of these have been refugees that have flooded across the borders of nations. And Christians in countries like Moldova, and Romania, and Poland have been able to come together and bring supplies to those in need. In addition to these acts of love, they've been able to share the Gospel, and many have come to know Jesus because of it. Let's join in and be faithful witnesses in our communities as well. To learn more about how you can be active in sharing your faith, visit our website at sharelife.today. That's sharelife.today.

Their imagery, poetry, and theology invite us to deeper worship of God and remind us of his unchanging character.

He's worked across a range of forensic fields and has performed thousands of autopsies, examinations and post mortem analyses.

In this sermon, we explore how God's work in the past anchors God's people in the present.Every one of us is story-formed. We are shaped by what happens to us and by how we respond. But if we dwell only on our own stories, we can become self-focused and self-absorbed. Psalm 68 shows us the way out: we need a bigger story. The biblical writers ground us in God's story, showing how the narrative of redemption is more ancient, more familial, and more empowering than the alternatives. Series Description: The Psalms are the song book of God's people, and each summer we mine their riches. Their imagery, poetry, and theology invite us to deeper worship of God and remind us of his unchanging character.

Psalm 67 shows us the right way to seek God's blessing: not individually, but communally. We should ask God to show favor to his people, because the flourishing of the church leads to the flourishing of the nations.The word "blessing" might be overused in religious circles, but it gets at something profound: we all want God's blessing. We want God to favor us, to smile upon us, to be happy with us. Series Description: The Psalms are the song book of God's people, and each summer we mine their riches. Their imagery, poetry, and theology invite us to deeper worship of God and remind us of his unchanging character.

Postmodern Patrimonialism. That's the term Brookings Institution scholar Jonathan Rauch uses to describe Trump's second presidency, arguing it represents a 21st century model of running government as if it's his own personal property. Rauch describes Trump 2's "everything everywhere all at once" strategy as a venture capital-like approach: launching numerous initiatives simultaneously to overwhelm opposition, expecting some to succeed while recognizing that others will fail. Noting that this strategy has slowed since March due to court challenges and declining approval ratings, Rauch discusses the institutional breakdown of Congress, the emergence of Gavin Newsom as the apex of the resistance to Trump 2, and identifies Stephen Miller and Russell Vought as key strategic masterminds behind the administration's coordinated assault on universities, law firms, and democratic norms. Five Key Takeaways * Patrimonialism, Not Fascism: Rauch has shifted from describing Trump as fascist to "patrimonial"—running government as personal property and family business. This model is less organized than fascism but equally corrosive to democratic institutions.* "Everything Everywhere All at Once" Strategy: Trump's administration deliberately overwhelms opposition by launching simultaneous attacks on multiple fronts (universities, law firms, agencies, individuals), making coordinated resistance nearly impossible.* Congressional Institutional Collapse: America has effectively moved from a three-branch to two-branch government, with Congress absent as a check on executive power—a more fundamental threat than Trump himself.* Democratic Governors as Resistance Leaders: Figures like Gavin Newsom are emerging as the most effective opposition voices, using states' rights to challenge federal overreach in ways Congress cannot.* Miller and Vought as Strategic Masterminds: Stephen Miller (immigration/security) and Russell Vought (domestic policy/OMB) are identified as the key architects behind the administration's coordinated assault on democratic institutions.Jonathan Rauch is a senior fellow in the Governance Studies program at the Brookings Institution and the author of eight books and many articles on public policy, culture, and government. He is a contributing writer of The Atlantic and recipient of the 2005 National Magazine Award, the magazine industry's equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize. His many Brookings publications include the 2021 book “The Constitution of Knowledge: A Defense of Truth”, as well as the 2015 ebook “Political Realism: How Hacks, Machines, Big Money, and Back-Room Deals Can Strengthen American Democracy.” Other books include “The Happiness Curve: Why Life Gets Better after 50” (2018) and “Gay Marriage: Why It Is Good for Gays, Good for Straights, and Good for America” (2004). He has also authored research on political parties, marijuana legalization, LGBT rights and religious liberty, and more.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting the daily KEEN ON show, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy interview series. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE.
