History has a frightening way of repeating itself. Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger head to Providence, Rhode Island's historic Federal Hill to uncover the forgotten story of the Macaroni Riots of 1914. Triggered by soaring food costs, economic hardship, and the looming shadow of World War I, what sounds like an amusing name became one of New England's most violent and overlooked civil disturbances. Discover the history behind the riots, the people caught in the chaos, and why this remarkable true story feels more relevant today than ever.

“Understand, therefore, that the Lord your God is indeed God. He is the faithful God who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations and lavishes his unfailing love on those who love him and obey his commands. But he does not hesitate to punish and destroy those who reject him. Therefore, you must obey all these commands, decrees, and regulations I am giving you today.” (Deuteronomy 7:9–11 NLT) Our founding fathers framed a document that Thomas Jefferson drafted for the Second Continental Congress meeting in Philadelphia. Congress adopted the document on July 4, 1776. We call it the Declaration of Independence. Among other things it says, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Pastor Chuck Smith once said that sometimes we forget that the Declaration of Independence, which declared independence from foreign tyranny, also declared our dependence on an eternal God. We see this in its closing words: “And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” Our forefathers believed that there is a God who guides the affairs of humankind. And they founded our nation on the teachings of the Bible. Thomas Jefferson, our third president, said, “The Bible is the cornerstone of liberty.” Andrew Jackson, our seventh president, called the Bible “the Rock upon which our republic rests.” And Abraham Lincoln, our 16th president, said of the Bible, “All the good the Saviour gave to the world was communicated through this book. But for it we could not know right from wrong. All things most desirable for man’s welfare, here and hereafter, are to be found portrayed in it.” Two hundred and fifty years after the founding of our nation, our need for God’s Word has never been greater. Deuteronomy 7:9–11 says, “Understand, therefore, that the Lord your God is indeed God. He is the faithful God who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations and lavishes his unfailing love on those who love him and obey his commands. But he does not hesitate to punish and destroy those who reject him. Therefore, you must obey all these commands, decrees, and regulations I am giving you today” (NLT). There is much to gain by placing God’s Word once again at the center of American life. And there is even more to lose in rejecting His Word. The wisdom of God’s Word is eternal, timeless. It’s not outdated. It’s not a relic. It doesn’t belong to an earlier, simpler time. The keys to the spiritual revival our nation so desperately needs can be found in its pages. That’s why we as believers must continue praying that our country finds its way back to the Word of God. Reflection question: How can you make God’s Word a bigger part of your daily life?

Three dead children. A mother paralyzed from jumping out of a window. A father who forgave her and sued her doctors. The Lindsay Clancy murder trial begins with jury selection on July 20 — and it may force the most important reckoning with postpartum mental health care this country has ever seen.Lindsay Clancy is charged with three counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan in January 2023. She is not contesting that she killed them. She is arguing she was suffering from postpartum psychosis so severe that a commanding voice told her to take her children so she could take herself.Her husband, Patrick Clancy, is on the defense witness list. He filed a wrongful death lawsuit blaming her doctors for the deaths of his children. According to court filings, Lindsay was a labor and delivery nurse who recognized something was wrong and ran toward the medical system. She sought treatment from psychiatrists, emergency rooms, and crisis hotlines. She admitted herself to hospitals three times. She was prescribed medication after medication — at least ten different drugs over four months — without a correct diagnosis.She told her husband and her mother she was having thoughts of harming the children. Her husband begged a nurse to take her off all the medications. They increased her dosage.A hospital in Providence had her in front of them, scoring in the most severe categories for depression and anxiety. They ruled out bipolar disorder. The lawsuits allege the doctor failed to take an adequate medical history. After the killings, a Columbia University psychiatrist diagnosed her with Bipolar Disorder I with psychosis and postpartum onset.The trial is expected to last four to eight weeks. A hundred and sixty-eight witnesses. The prosecution must prove she was sane beyond a reasonable doubt.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Providence and Promise, Part 1 - All Things Work Together for Good, presented by Bob DeWaay and Jessica Kramasz.

The Passover dominates the context of the latter half of Matthew 26. Within the setting of the Last Supper, we find the quintessential occurrence of an often misunderstood phenomenon in the betrayal of Judas Iscariot. God uses the sin of man to accomplish His good design, yet God is not the author of the sin. Even though God willed and used Judas' sin, Judas was responsible and condemned for it. Before trying to understand the Passover and the new understanding of it that Jesus gave in instituting the Lord's Table, we take some time to explore the relationship between man's responsibility and God's sovereignty. A sermon preached by Pastor Caleb at Legacy Reformed Baptist Church in East Grand Forks, MN.

Betrayal, struggle, wrestling, and redemption. These are the components of a great story. Many of us have been through these seasons. Maybe you are in one of these seasons now. In this message, Pastor Eric Robertson shares the story of Jacob. Providence is the tension between my ability to choose my next step and God's ability to choose it for me.God working behind the scenes to bring about His will and our good, both with and without our participation.Jacob's story is a story of God's providence, bringing about His will and Jacob's good in the life of someone who lived almost entirely for himself.·      Jacob's choices tell us something about ourselves: We sometimes would rather take from God what He already wanted to give us.·      God was with Jacob, but Jacob's decisions had real consequences. God may guide our destinies, but our decisions determine the difficulty/detours.·      Even when think we have what we want, a fugitive never rests easy. You may be running from God, but in His house is where you belong and Jacob feels this, so this he flees back home... ·      Jacob walks away from a God-encounter with a limp, but also with a new name. Your past is going to leave scars, but your scars don't determine your identity, God does.·      His whole life, Jacob took blessing he wasn't given. That night he finally asked for one, and he waited, wrestling until morning, to receive it. Peace requires patience. Blessing requires submission. Destiny requires a new name with a new limp. ·      Jacob spent his life taking, but everything he went through led him to this moment of receiving. Every misstep, every poor decision redeemed by God, almost like it was the plan the whole time.·      God can redeem your pain, your tragedy, and your mistakes. No matter how far of a detour you've taken, God can fix it.·      Providence doesn't answer the question as to whether something was going to happen along. It does make us more comfortable with saying "I don't know, but I trust Him." Are you trusting God with your future?

Hidden within the Great Seal of the United States lies a call to virtue, unity, and freedom. On today's edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson continues his fascinating conversation with author Michael Kanis about the spiritual symbolism our Founding Fathers built into the nation's emblem. Kanis explains the meaning behind the Latin phrases, the eye of Providence, and a forgotten Founder's role.

“Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away. Then times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord, and he will again send you Jesus, your appointed Messiah.” (Acts 3:19–20 NLT) The strong faith of two men named George played a key role in shaping the United States of America. The first was George Whitefield, our spiritual founding father. He was a British evangelist who came to our shores to preach the gospel. As a result of his ministry, thousands of colonists came to Christ. It was the first great spiritual awakening in what would become known as the United States of America. Between 1740 and 1742, before the United States was even a nation, the Great Awakening had a remarkable impact in New England. Historians estimate that 25,000 to 50,000 people were added to New England church membership as a result of the revival. With New England’s population only around 300,000 at the time, that means as many as one out of every six people in the region may have been reached in some way by the revival, in which George Whitefield played a leading role. The evangelistic wildfire left in its wake fertile spiritual ground on which the nation could be built. The Christian truths and principles that guided the lives of the new converts found their way into the nation’s DNA. They formed the cornerstone of the United States government. John Adams, founding father and second president of the United States, wrote, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” Our nation was forged in the flames of revival started by George Whitefield. The second George is, of course, George Washington—commander of the Continental Army, first president of the United States, and the father of our country. Washington was always quick to give the glory to God for his victories. He never tired of invoking the role of Providence in the formation of the United States of America. In fact, Washington directed that a special flag be flown by the ships of the U.S. Navy. The flag depicted a tree with branches stretching upward. The message of the flag was an appeal to Heaven, a reminder that the United States needed to call on God for its success and sustenance. Unfortunately, that message got lost along the way. Our nation has drifted away from God and His guidance. The good news is that it’s not too late to go back to Him. The apostle Peter preached to the people of Israel, “Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away. Then times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord, and he will again send you Jesus, your appointed Messiah” (Acts 3:19–20 NLT). That same message is needed in our country today. Our nation, which was forged in a spiritual revival, needs to go through those flames again.

Tim and Frank take on a deceptively simple question: is Spider-Man actually a street-level superhero? What starts as a debate about subgenres turns into a much bigger conversation — about tone, stakes, and whether the label helps or hurts a character when your hero is literally swinging above the street.

We gain confidence in God by experiencing him personally. And that is possible because of the death and resurrection of Jesus. He is the holy one who did not see corruption. In Christ, we can say that God is our refuge and we will not be shaken.

Providence in a Field of BarleyRuth 2Teacher: Pastor Matt PiersonDate: July 12, 2026In Ruth chapter 1, we follow the story of Naomi, a woman who has moved with her husband and sons to the land of Moab to escape a famine in Bethlehem. At the end of chapter 1, Naomi, having lost her husband and both sons, returns to Bethlehem along with her daughter-in-law Ruth. In the second chapter of Ruth, the women are back in Bethlehem, just as the barley harvest begins. Despite the obstacles of being a widow, desperately poor, and a foreigner, Ruth rolls up her sleeves and sets out to work in the barley fields.Join Pastor Matt as we study through the second chapter of Ruth and observe how God is working behind the scenes, guiding Ruth to the barley fields of Boaz, a wealthy and worthy man who also happens to be a kinsman of Naomi, of the clan of Elimilech, Naomi's husband. As the chapter unfolds, we see how God does extraordinary things in ordinary ways through ordinary people.Support the showTo find more resources like these, follow us:Website: https://thevillagechapel.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQVTzDbaiXVUAm_mUBDCTJAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tvcnashville/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tvcnashvilleX: https://twitter.com/tvcnashvilleTo support the ongoing mission of The Village Chapel go to https://thevillagechapel.com/give/.

Trenton on Christmas Night #RTTBROS #Nightlight #America250 #USA250 #Nation250“It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” — Lamentations 3:22-23 THE STORYOn Christmas night, 1776, everything was about to end. The Continental Army had been retreating for months. New York had fallen. New Jersey had fallen. Philadelphia was threatened. Men were deserting by the hundreds, their enlistments expiring, their feet leaving bloody prints in the snow. Washington's army had shrunk from twenty thousand men to fewer than three thousand. Thomas Paine, writing by firelight as he marched with the army, produced the lines that named the moment: "These are the times that try men's souls"Washington decided to attack. The plan was to cross the ice-choked Delaware River on Christmas night, march nine miles to Trenton in the dark and cold, and surprise the Hessian garrison before dawn. It was the kind of plan that only a desperate man would attempt, and Washington was desperate in exactly the right way: desperate enough to trust God with what human calculation could not support. The crossing was brutal. The river was full of ice. The boats were inadequate. It took far longer than planned, and the column did not reach Trenton until well after dawn. But something remarkable had happened in the Hessian camp. Their commander, Colonel Rall, had received a note during a Christmas celebration warning him that the Americans were coming. He had put the note in his pocket without reading it. He was still in bed when Washington's men came over the walls.THE REFLECTIONNine hundred Hessians were captured. Not a single American was killed in the battle. Washington wrote to Congress afterward: "Providence seems to have smiled on every part of this enterprise". Lamentations 3:22-23 was written by Jeremiah in the rubble of Jerusalem. The city had fallen. The temple was destroyed. Everything he had loved was gone. And in the middle of the ash and the grief, he found something that had not failed: the mercies of God were new every morning. His faithfulness was great. Washington's army experienced that verse on Christmas night, 1776. They crossed an impossible river in the dark and cold, arrived late and found their enemy asleep, and won a victory that had no human explanation beyond the one Washington offered: Providence had smiled on every part of it. Colonel Rall's unread note is one of the most extraordinary details in American military history. A warning that could have prevented the battle sat in a dead man's pocket because God had other plans. The timing of the crossing, the ice, the delay, the darkness, the note that was never read, none of it was coincidental. It was morning mercy arriving in the form of a frozen river crossing on the night after Christmas. The mercies of God are new every morning. Even the mornings when you have been retreating for months. Even the mornings when your men are bleeding through their boots. Even the mornings when everything says stop, and faith says cross. Cross the river. The mercies are waiting on the other side.Buy your copy of The Summer Of The Patriot 90 Days Of Faith and Freedom https://a.co/d/00gLtWNI

Today on the program, a trip into the archive and a return to Episode 693, my conversation with Candace Jane Opper, author of the debut memoir Certain and Impossible Events (Kore Press). Air date: February 17, 2021. Candace Jane Opper is a writer, a mother, and an occasional visual artist. She grew up in the woods of Southern Connecticut, in a house that alarmingly resembles the one from The Amityville Horror, where she learned to embrace the value of unconventionality. She holds an MFA in Nonfiction Writing from Portland State University and spent her undergraduate years in Providence studying Film History—a discipline her college advisor fondly described as the second most pointless major next to Art History, which she promptly declared as her minor. Opper's essays have appeared or are forthcoming in Longreads, Guernica, Creative Nonfiction, LitHub, Narratively, Brevity, and Vestoj, among others. She is a Creative Nonfiction Foundation Fellowship recipient and a member on the advisory council for Write Pittsburgh, a program collective that empowers writers to amplify their voices and strengthen their communities. Certain and Impossible Events is her first book. *** ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Otherppl with Brad Listi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is a weekly podcast featuring in-depth interviews with today's leading writers.

Message from Matt Grimsley on July 12, 2026

Welcome to our Podcast. Listen to Kristian Jones, Youth Director as he preaches on Ecclesiastes 3:1-15.The Beauty of Providence Unseen

The Dean's List with Host Dean Bowen – The Battle of Monongahela reveals George Washington's courage, General Braddock's fatal arrogance, and the devastating consequences of ignoring frontier allies. Amid chaos and heavy British losses, Washington organizes the retreat and survives against extraordinary odds, strengthening his belief in Providence and securing a defining place in American history textbooks today...

Today’s Topics: Joshua Charles joins Terry for Friday with the Fathers 1) Gospel – Matthew 10:16-23 – Jesus said to His Apostles: “Behold, I am sending you like sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and simple as doves. But beware of men,  for they will hand you over to courts and scourge you in their synagogues, and you will be led before governors and kings for My sake as a witness before them and the pagans. When they hand you over, do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say. You will be given at that moment what you are to say. For it will not be you who speak but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. Brother will hand over brother to death, and the father his child; children will rise up against parents and have them put to death. You will be hated by all because of My Name, but whoever endures to the end will be saved. When they persecute you in one town, flee to another. Amen, I say to you, you will not finish the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.” Bishop Sheen quote of the day 2, 3, 4) Terry and Joshua discuss Early Father of the Church: Saint John Chrysostom and his writing: The Providence of God

For the 4th of July, the 250th birthday of America, Adam did the most Okie thing a man can do to celebrate: he took the family to a rodeo. Both boys went mutton busting, Friday and Saturday. Leo, six, drew a slow sheep the second night and rode it a full 17 seconds, hanging on and hollering "keep going, keep going!" into its ear because he knew he needed that sheep to move to score.-----------Sponsor: The Amen app (from the Augustine Institute)The Amen app is the free Catholic prayer app the guys use to prep the family for Sunday, listening to the Sunday Gospel on the way to Holy Mass so the kids are ready to receive it before they walk in. No paywall, no subscription trap, no upfront cost. Download the Amen app right now.Sponsor: Select International Tours: selectinternationaltours.comWhen Adam and Dave decided to lead their first pilgrimage, one name kept coming up: Select International Tours. Having used them, the guys can vouch for it. Wherever in the world you want to go, Select has a tour ready. Whether you want to lead a pilgrimage or attend one, head to selectinternationaltours.com and see everything they offer. You won't regret it.----------He placed top three, took home a little money and a free snow cone, and nobody's sure which one he was prouder of. John, three, puffed his chest out all day, crumbled at the chute, rode two seconds, hit the dirt, cried, and then immediately declared he was doing it again tomorrow. He did. Same result. He was in it for the story.Then there's Adam and the bull. He's always had the itch to put himself on the line, to go where it takes fortitude and prudence and a whole lot of luck. So he slipped up to the chute with the cowboys, just to feel the atmosphere next to something that powerful. A storm blew in and cut the bull riding short. Adam's calling that one Providence, same as the fight that got cancelled back when COVID shut down the world. Some signs you don't get to ignore.The pour is Teeling Wonders of Wood Single Pot Still, Virgin Swedish Oak. Ninety three dollars, and worth it. No Jim on hand to work the yummy scale, so the guys guessed it might've metamorphosed into a 7.321. Deep, resonant, dangerously delicious.The prayer request is Mary. She's a little over four months now, still in the NICU. Adam sent a photo of her smiling right through all the tubing, and it melted everybody. It's been a hard stretch, a step back, but she recovered fast, her breathing's improving, and there's talk of scheduling open heart surgery in the next four to six months. Adam described the NICU "tree," the pole that once held fifteen to twenty bags and lines and now holds four. Look where they were. Look where they are. Thank you for the prayers. They have not been in vain, and Lady Haylee has been heroic through all of it.Then the topic: what to do when you're struggling. Not just spiritual struggle. Focus, work, sin, the whole weight of it. Most of it isn't laziness. It's disorder, a misalignment between the intellect and the appetites, an internal civil war stoked by stress and exhaustion and distraction. Aquinas names it. Augustine sharpens it: the mind commands the body and it obeys instantly, but the mind commands itself and is resisted. Adam's own admission cut deepest. There is a part of him that does not want to be holy. Naming that was the whole battle. Once he saw the enemy clearly, fasting and prayer stopped feeling like punishment and started feeling like war worth waging. Protect, provide, establish, and fight for your own soul while you're at it. Win the next 15 minutes. Then win the next one.
