What I Know Is Enough: A Story Worth SharingScripture: John 9:1–39This week at Central, we continued our series A Story Worth Sharing with the story of the man born blind in John 9. Pressed with questions he couldn't answer and pressured to explain what was beyond him, the man gave a simple but powerful testimony: “I was blind, and now I see.” He didn't have all the theological details, but he had his story — and that was enough.Pastor Sarah reminded us that we, too, do not need to know everything before sharing the difference God has made in our lives. Testimony doesn't require polished arguments or perfect answers. It asks only for honesty about where we were, what God has done, and how we are living differently because of that encounter. Whether our stories are dramatic or slow transformations over time, they are gifts that can strengthen faith and invite others into the good news of God's grace.

Stacy and Eric Tackle Luck vs. Intelligence, Neighborhood Oddities, and Cultural Blindspots This week on the podcast, Stacy tries her hand at the show intro (with questionable results—Eric's still the pro!). She shares her idea for an “empty nest” social channel: just her and her husband deciding what stays and what goes as they clear out their home. Stacy also recounts a recent visit to a Silent Book Club with her daughter Annie, describing the unique blend of quiet reading and casual socializing. The experience reminds her of the TV show “Silent Library” a reference unfamiliar to Eric! Meanwhile, Eric finds himself in a late-summer mood, reflecting on missed opportunities as the season ends. He tells a story about his mysterious neighbors, whom he mostly knows through their dogs. After noticing water running at “Lucky's” house (name changed to protect the innocent), Eric tries to alert his neighbors and is met with confusion—only to discover later that the culprit was a house sitter and the water feature was intentional. Eric is gifted a thank-you gift card. This story sparks a conversation about the proliferation of doorbell cameras and their surprising role on social media. For this week's Cultural Blindspot, Eric watches “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” and enjoys the film's edgy humor and rare collaboration between Warner Bros. and Disney characters. He learns it's based on the novel “Who Censored Roger Rabbit?” and notes how well the film holds up. On the other side of the pop culture spectrum, Stacy dips her toe into horror with “Scary Movie,” appreciating the parody despite her lack of horror film experience. Eric recommends “Shaun of the Dead” as a follow-up. Their discussion leads to classic comedy: Stacy references Carol Burnett's famous “Gone with the Wind” parody, a nod that surprises Eric. The main topic: Is it better to be lucky or smart? Stacy argues that luck sometimes plays a crucial role—she credits luck for scoring her house. Eric reflects on career-related luck during the pandemic. Ultimately, they agree: It's best to be smart enough to recognize opportunity and humble enough to be grateful when luck strikes. Pressed to choose, though, both lean toward luck.

As summer wanes and the nights grow long, we turn to tales of witches, curses, and the old ways that never truly died. For centuries, harvest time has carried its own magic: charms for fields, blessings for homes, and darker stories of those who bent nature to their will.Healer and midwife Ursula Kemp became the focus of fear in St. Osyth, Essex, when neighbourly disputes and misfortune spiralled into witchcraft accusations in 1582. Pressed by magistrate Brian Darcy—and with testimony from her young son—Kemp confessed to directing animal “familiars,” was convicted at the Chelmsford Assizes, and hanged.OBSCURATA - Apple Spotify AmazonJoin Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch Links:https://www.mysteriousbritain.co.uk/occult/ursula-kemp-and-the-st-osyths-witches/https://engole.info/ursula-kemp-witch/https://www.stosythmuseum.co.uk/buildings/the-cagehttps://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-06-14/haunted-house-that-housed-witches-in-medieval-times-for-sale/11208806https://www.mamamia.com.au/st-osyth-cage/Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

In 2 Corinthians 1, Paul reveals his experience of being 'pressed' beyond measure, teaching us that even spiritual giants reach breaking points. This pressure serves a divine purpose - to shift our trust from ourselves to God who raises the dead. When life crushes us like olives pressed for oil, God is more interested in the pure faith that emerges than our comfort. Finding hope in overwhelming circumstances comes through remembering God's resurrection power, reflecting on His track record of deliverance, and understanding that true deliverance often happens within difficult situations rather than removal from them. The pressure you feel today may be God's way of bringing you to the end of self-reliance.

In this heartfelt and honest conversation, George Janko opens up to Ruslan about his relationship, wrestling with the question: Are we really married in God's eyes? What begins as a lighthearted check-in about wedding plans turns into a raw reflection on conviction, guilt, faith, and spiritual maturity. George confesses how success delayed his obedience, how living like a husband before making the covenant before God led to deep conviction, and how marriage has transformed his perspective on manhood, legacy, and contentment.Ruslan challenges George with Scripture, particularly 1 Corinthians, while also encouraging him with truth and grace. They also discuss trusting God with timing, future children, and fighting spiritual battles through worship, not worry.This episode is a powerful look at how culture distorts marriage and how God's design brings clarity, blessing, and peace. If you've ever wondered what godly marriage really means—or struggled with feeling stuck between the world's timing and God's—this episode is for you.

When I sat down with Dr. Ory Amitay, his passion for myth, history, and ancient cultures was infectious. Our conversation about his new book, Alexander the Great in Jerusalem: Myth and History, Oxford University Press, 2025, quickly revealed that for Ory, the real intrigue isn't whether Alexander literally visited Jerusalem, but how and why this story was created and retold for centuries. Ory traced his fascination with this intersection of myth and reality back to his Israeli upbringing and Berkeley days, where he mastered ancient languages and ventured beyond traditional Jewish sources. He described how, over time, different versions of Alexander's visit to Jerusalem reflected shifting political climates—from the Seleucid takeover to Roman conquest. Myths, he explained, were tools to help communities navigate upheaval, envisioning themselves in relation to powerful foreign rulers.  Pressed for the historical “truth,” Ory smiled and emphasized that the stories' meaning—how they address the anxieties and hopes of their tellers—outweighs whether Alexander's visit “really” happened. As he pursues new projects, translating ancient versions of these tales and writing a book on Western civilization, I left inspired by his view that exploring old myths is also about understanding how we shape, and are shaped by, our stories about ourselves. Alexander the Great in Jerusalem: Myth and History discusses four different stories told in antiquity about the meeting between Alexander the Great and the Judeans of Jerusalem. In history, this meeting, if it happened, passed without noticeable events. Into the historical void stepped various Judean storytellers, who wrote not what was, but what could (or even should) have been.The tradition as a whole deals with an issue that resurfaced time and again in ancient Judean history: conquest and regime installment by new foreign rulers. It does so by using Alexander as a cipher for a current Hellenistic and Roman foreign rule. The earliest version can be traced to the context of the Seleukid monarch Antiochos III "the Great", and postulates a Judean text from that time that has been hitherto unknown, and which survived in a Byzantine recension (epsilon) of the Alexander Romance. The second and third chapters turn to rabbinic sources, and deal with the Judean approaches and attitudes towards Roman occupation and rule, first at the advent of Pompey and then at the institution of Provincia ludaea at the expense of the Herodian dynasty. The final story is the most famous, previously considered the earliest, rather than the latest; that of Josephus.Alexander the Great in Jerusalem demonstrates how the historical tradition consistently maintained the moral and sacral superiority of the Jerusalem temple and of Judaism, making Alexander either embrace monotheism or prostrate himself before the Judean high priest. This not only bolstered Judean self-confidence under conditions of military and political inferiority, but also brought the changing foreign rulers into the fold of Judean sacred history.

COUNTDOWN BULLETIN: SEASON 3 EPISODE 137 Attempting to question Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem at her Propaganda Conference in Los Angeles today about the Trump Junta's illegal usurpation of the California National Guard and its illegal deployment of active military into civilian police enforcement, California Senator Alex Padilla was jumped by a series of Trumpist thugs including uniformed members of the FBI who wrestled him to the ground, threatened him, and handcuffed him. This is simply the latest in a string of domestic terrorist events perpetrated by Trump's government since the beginning of the ICE raids rounding up migrants, naturalized citizens, and native-born Americans alike, last Friday. It precipitated minor protests and violence slightly below the level of that seen after the Los Angeles Lakers' basketball team won its last championship in 2020. The manhandling of Padilla may have not been the most ominous development Thursday in our march towards dictatorship. Pressed at a congressional hearing about the pending case asking a judge to restrain Trump from usurping control of the California National Guard from Governor Newsom, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth refused to confirm he would abide by any ruling from the court with which he would not agree. He is attempting to cloak the insertion of active military into civilian police enforcement, and the overriding of the courts, in some fantasy that he and Trump are enacting "foreign policy" by terrorizing Southern California.
