Coming to you from the JRE Tobacco Aladino Studios, are you thinking about getting into cigars but not sure where to start? Or maybe you have a friend who's curious about the hobby and you're wondering what cigars to hand them first? Nick builds the ultimate beginner cigar sampler and breaks down the four cigars he'd recommend to help a new smoker learn about the world of premium cigars. Along the way, he discusses why mild doesn't have to mean flavorless, the difference between spice and strength, why dark wrappers aren't always stronger, and how different wrappers and tobacco varieties can completely change the smoking experience. Nick also explains why construction matters just as much as flavor, what new smokers should look for in a cigar, and why he has begun to generally avoid recommending flavored or sweet-tipped cigars to someone who wants to learn about premium tobacco. Whether you're brand new to cigars or looking for the perfect recommendations for a friend, this episode offers a practical roadmap for exploring the hobby one cigar at a time. Find out what movie Nick saw lately in the Villiger Cigars Entertainment Report. And learn what Three Cigars Nick Smoked and Enjoyed This Week! Get your calls in for Ask the Pulpit at (863)874-0000.

Coming to you from the JRE Tobacco Aladino Studios, after an extended weekend with his son, Nick is thankful you guys called in and gave him something to talk about on another Ask the Pulpit episode! Nick takes your calls and hears from you about a variety of subjects including how long would it take for a cigar butt to decompose and more. Nick also gets a call from listener James that sets him off down a rabbit hole that eventually leads to a discussion about the Age of Legality for various things in the United States and how the sliding scale of that age makes absolutely no sense. What are your thoughts? In the Villiger Entertainment Report, Nick takes a slightly different approach to this segment and talks a bit about some of the fun he and his son had this past weekend.

God puts a calling on the life of all of His children… Life is way better when we follow His calling. Sometimes God directs us to a change of course. Whatever direction God sends us in life, we can rest assured that He is always preparing us for the future plans He has for us. There's an old saying that goes, "If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it." On today's program we will hear from someone that has spent nearly half his life living out his calling as the host of a hunting show on national TV.  We will hear of his calling, his struggles and how God continues to use him in a very unique ministry.

(Jonah 1:17-2:10) Join Scott Pauley as he delivers a message unfolding the gospel within the book of Jonah. Jonah's experience—swallowed by a great fish and praying from the depths—points forward to the saving work of Jesus Christ. The message explores the redemptive thread woven through all Scripture, Jesus' own reference to Jonah (Matthew 12:39–40), and the significance of three days and three nights. The preparation for salvation is by the Lord, the provision for salvation is from the Lord, and the prayer of repentance and faith is directed to the Lord.

Coming to you from the JRE Tobacco Aladino Studios, Nick discusses a topic that has been popping up more and more this year, Track and Trace. It's a system of tracking tobacco products from the manufacturer to the retailer being used in the European Union. Nick discusses what it is, why it's in place, some of the pros and cons for it, and whether or not we're likely to see it in the United States anytime soon. And he gets into what it ultimately means for the consumer and his thoughts as to the real driving force behind it.  It's a topic consumers may not be aware of but should be, because it could result in higher cigar prices. But what doesn't these days... Find out what show Nick watched lately in the Villiger Cigars Entertainment Report. And learn what three cigars Nick smoked and enjoyed this week.

Host Jeff Shepherd examines how modern spiritual language and certain New Age teachings can mask deeper occult roots and form the basis of a one‑world religious outlook. In this episode he traces the lineage of these ideas back to Helena Blavatsky and the founding of the Theosophical Society, explaining why these teachings still matter to today's church and culture. Shepard reviews Blavatsky's life and major works (Isis Unveiled and The Secret Doctrine), summarizes core theosophical doctrines—an unknowable absolute, cyclical cosmos, karma and reincarnation, ‘‘root races,'' and the elevation of Lucifer as a bringer of light—and recounts how she popularized occult vocabulary that later seeped into mainstream spiritual movements. The episode identifies how those doctrines have been repackaged as phrases like "Christ consciousness," "higher self," and the "Great Awakening," and maps their influence forward through figures such as Alice Bailey, intersections with Nazi occultism and Operation Paperclip, and alleged carryover into intelligence programs and segments of the modern church. Shepard contrasts these reinterpretations with biblical teaching and shows concrete examples of scriptural twisting (for example, reinterpreting Matthew 24 and the meaning of the risen Christ). Key points include the danger of fragmenting biblical truth into self‑deification, the reuse of occult symbols and language in Christian contexts, and the pastoral imperative to test spirits and judge doctrine. The episode features host Jeff Shepard (no outside guests) and issues a clear call to be Bereans: study Scripture, learn the true gospel, and develop discernment so counterfeit teachings can be recognized. Shepard closes by previewing the next episode, which will move from Blavatsky to Alice Bailey and her alleged 10‑point plan for influencing churches, and by reminding listeners to love God, love family and neighbor, and to make a difference in their communities.

For this episode ofThe Buzz, JJA President Emeritus Howard Mandel speaks with Zan Stewart, the JJA's 2026 Lifetime Achievement in Jazz Journalism honoree.Zan Stewart spent thirty-five years covering jazz as a beat reporter writing weekly features, overnight reviews, and club listings through long-term runs at the Los Angeles Times and the Newark Star-Ledger. His liner notes to Eric Dolphy: The Complete Prestige Recordings earned an ASCAP–Deems Taylor Award. He is also a working tenor saxophonist, and the two roles were always intertwined: Stewart came to jazz journalism as an advocate with a reporter's eye and a player's ear. In this conversation, he retraces his path from a hi-fi in Ojai to the clubs of San Francisco, with a lot of music in between.They cover his early formation in the music (his father was at the Palomar Ballroom in 1935 the night Benny Goodman kicked off the swing era), two decades at the LA Times under Leonard Feather, his move to the Star-Ledger in Newark, his 2014 debut recording The Street Is Making Music, and his current work writing liner notes after a medical battle with oral cancer and osteonecrosis that has sidelined his playing. He also describes the box of cassette tapes in his possession containing unarchived conversations with Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Sonny Rollins, and McCoy Tyner, that he hopes to get out into the world.(The musical excerpts heard in this episode are "Hampton's Pulpit" from the Hampton Hawes Quartet's 1991 reissue All Night Session and "The Street Is Making Music" from Zan Stewart's 2014 album of the same name.)Buzzworthy Notes Guest & HostZan StewartHoward MandelDiscussedLeonard Feather — jazz critic, Los Angeles Times; mentor to StewartEric Dolphy: The Complete Prestige Recordings — liner notes by Zan Stewart; recipient of the ASCAP–Deems Taylor AwardHampton Hawes — pianist; subject of Stewart's first published interviewHear Me Talkin' to Ya — edited by Nat Shapiro and Nat Hentoff (Rinehart, 1955); a formative text for StewartSonny Rollins — official websiteOliver Nelson, Straight Ahead — Prestige, 1961; features Eric Dolphy on bass clarinetAlbert Dailey — pianist; performed with Stewart's early band in Santa BarbaraThe 2026 JJA Lifetime Achievement in Jazz Journalism AwardOther nominees: Dan Ouellette, Nate Chinen, and Ben RatliffLearn more about JJA AwardsSupport for The JJA comes in part from the Jazz Foundation of America, providing emergency assistance, healthcare, and performance opportunities to performers, composers and others in need.

On this Pentecost Sunday, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor,Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, discusses how the Holy Spirit helps us as Christians in our daily lives. He says that when the Holy Spirit intervenes and there is understanding, we find ourselves bonded together in Christ. The gift of the Holy Spirit is to be shared generously and through that we have a promise of a new age, new hope, and a new dawn on this earth.Send comments to: musingsonfaith@gmail.com.

(Acts 17) We live in a generation that is absolutely corrupting our young people. At no time in recent history has the attack been so pernicious and open. It is time for God's people to learn from the Word of God. It is high time for Christians to live for Christ, no matter what surrounds them. Tune in for this timely message from Acts 17.  This message was given at Temple Baptist Church on February 15, 2013. (10123260523) Join Scott Pauley's study through Scripture this year.

Join Scott Pauley for a full-length Weekend Pulpit message opens Acts 13 and examines the church at Antioch — a model of an advancing, mission-shaped church. This episode is an expository sermon that walks listeners verse-by-verse through Acts 13:1–4 and connects the passage to broader New Testament teaching from Ephesians and 1 Corinthians.   The sermon frames church growth in four spiritual dimensions — breadth, depth, height, and length.  Join Scott Pauley's study through Scripture this year.

I’m finally back home in Malaysia (at least for a little while) after a truly “round-the-world” trip, and today I want to briefly cover a few different topics including a critical ministry update in Iran and a strategic opportunity in China later this year.

Paton (JohnGPaton.com) Borden of Yale: The Millionaire Missionary (BordenofYale.com) Unbeaten: My Arrest, Interrogation, and Deportation from China (Unbeaten.vip) Why the Prison Pulpit? The goal is to remind people to pray for persecuted believers as Hebrews 13:3 teaches: “Remember those who are in prison, as bound with them.” We’ve looked at Wang Yi and Early Rain Church’s writings in the aftermath of their arrest and attack in 2018, but I’ve also regularly turned to other persecuted ministers who have gone before, such as Richard Wurmbrand, to give us a voice literally from prison.

Topics: Brant and Sherri discuss narcissism in the pulpit and ways to preemptively deal with it.   Quotes: "If the system keeps producing something unhealthy, maybe it's time to ask if we need to keep the system?" "If you have a stage and a spotlight, what do you think is going to happen?" "This is all healthy; not just for the church, but for the person in the position and their family." "We're supposed to know the people we're doing life with—not just watch them from a distance."
