Peace in a Pressured WorldScripture: John 14:27 – “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”If there's one word that describes the age we live in, it's pressure. Pressure to succeed, perform, provide, and prove yourself. Pressure from finances, family, deadlines, expectations, and decisions. And underneath it all—anxiety. We scroll, we rush, we worry, and we try to hold it all together. But inside, many people are falling apart.Strength for the Journey: A 50-Day Prayer Guide eBook: https://tinyurl.com/ebook-PreorderAccept Jesus Today: https://youtube.com/shorts/bIwAUlz7Kg4?si=BNOhv44iLWIR4eVJIf you would like to accept Jesus into your heart today, pray this simple prayer:****God, I have sinned against You. I believe that Jesus is Your Son, who died and rose for my sake. I ask you to forgive me for my sin. I place my trust in You for salvation. I receive you as my Lord and Savior.

Purpose in the ProcessScripture: Philippians 1:6 – “Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.”One of the hardest things to grasp in life is that God works through process — not shortcuts. We love the idea of sudden blessings, overnight success, and instant transformation. But God is not in a hurry. He's more interested in your development than your speed.Strength for the Journey: A 50-Day Prayer Guide eBook: https://tinyurl.com/ebook-PreorderAccept Jesus Today: https://youtube.com/shorts/bIwAUlz7Kg4?si=BNOhv44iLWIR4eVJIf you would like to accept Jesus into your heart today, pray this simple prayer:****God, I have sinned against You.

Living for Eternity in a Temporary WorldScripture: Colossians 3:2 – “Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.”Our culture has perfected the art of distraction. We live in a world that constantly tells us to chase more—more money, more status, more success, more validation. But the more we chase, the emptier many people feel. Why? Because everything the world offers eventually fades.Strength for the Journey: A 50-Day Prayer Guide eBook: https://tinyurl.com/ebook-PreorderAccept Jesus Today: https://youtube.com/shorts/bIwAUlz7Kg4?si=BNOhv44iLWIR4eVJIf you would like to accept Jesus into your heart today, pray this simple prayer:****God, I have sinned against You.

When Hope Feels HardScripture: Romans 15:13 – “Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.”Hope is something we all need. Hope is easy when everything's working out — but what do you do when it's not? When the diagnosis doesn't change? When the prayer goes unanswered? What happens when the door you've been knocking on for years still remains unopened?Strength for the Journey: A 50-Day Prayer Guide eBook: https://tinyurl.com/ebook-PreorderAccept Jesus Today: https://youtube.com/shorts/bIwAUlz7Kg4?si=BNOhv44iLWIR4eVJIf you would like to accept Jesus into your heart today, pray this simple prayer:****God, I have sinned against You.

What To Do When You Feel Unqualified Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:27 – “But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty.”If you've ever looked at what God has called you to do and thought, “Why me?” — you're not alone. Every person God ever used in a powerful way felt unqualified at some point.That's because God doesn't look for the most talented, the most experienced, or the most impressive. He looks for those most willing.Strength for the Journey: A 50-Day Prayer Guide eBook: https://tinyurl.com/ebook-PreorderAccept Jesus Today: https://youtube.com/shorts/bIwAUlz7Kg4?si=BNOhv44iLWIR4eVJIf you would like to accept Jesus into your heart today, pray this simple prayer:****God, I have sinned against You.

Waiting WellIsaiah 40:31 – “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”We live in a world that hates to wait. We've got instant downloads, express lanes, and same-day shipping. We expect everything to happen quickly—even God's promises. But spiritual maturity doesn't happen in a microwave. God develops greatness in the slow cooker of patience.Strength for the Journey: A 50-Day Prayer Guide eBook: https://tinyurl.com/ebook-PreorderAccept Jesus Today: https://youtube.com/shorts/bIwAUlz7Kg4?si=BNOhv44iLWIR4eVJIf you would like to accept Jesus into your heart today, pray this simple prayer:****God, I have sinned against You.

We just finished Silent Hill f, and our reactions could not be more different. One of us loves it. One of us hates it. One of us is still processing the trauma. In this discussion, we dive deep into: -The shift to 1960s Japan -The world design and atmosphere -Puzzles, combat, and difficulty settings -Story, characters, and "the rot" aesthetic -Whether Konami is finally taking Silent Hill seriously again This is not a typical review — it's three Silent Hill fans with three completely different takes, arguing (lovingly) about what worked, what didn't, and what this means for the future of the franchise.   #gamingpodcast #videogamepodcast #gamingsofficialpodcast Youtube Instagram

Dennis is joined via Zoom by Barry Joseph, author of the new book Matching Minds with Sondheim, which is all about the legendary Broadway composer and lyricist's love of puzzles and games. Barry talks about being inspired to write the book in 2022, a few months after Sondheim's passing, and how writing the book became like a puzzle for him to solve. He also talks about his love of Sondheim's musicals, from listening to the West Side Story cast recording as a kid to going to see Passion on Broadway during its first previous (and not appreciating it much at the time.) He goes into detail about Sondheim's legendary game nights and treasure hunts and talks about Sondheim's stint as the crossword puzzle editor for New York Magazine in the late 1960's and that time Games magazine did a five-page profile on him, complete with photos of his extensive game collection. Other topics include: Barry's favorite Sondheim musical, the idea of creating order out of chaos, what drives him to do the work that he does and that surreal evening when actor Anthony Perkins ended up being the murderer in a Sondheim party game just a few months after appearing as Norman Bates in Psycho. https://matchingmindswithsondheim.com

On this Wednesday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid covers the New York City mayoral race with Zohran Mamdani appearing alongside Governor Kathy Hochul for the first time since receiving her endorsement, before facing renewed criticism from President Trump and current Mayor Adams, who is reportedly on the verge of endorsing former Governor Andrew Cuomo in his bid to defeat Mamdani. Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa and his campaign are also discussed. Then, Sid delves into an update on the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, hostages' release, and President Trump's warning to Hamas. Additionally, President Trump posthumously awards the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Charlie Kirk, who was brutally assassinated last month. Arthur Aidala, Lara Trump, Michael Henry, Ofir Akunis, Rich Lowry & Scott LoBaido join Sid on this hump day installment of Sid & Friends in the Morning. Learn more about your ad choices.

"The Shakespeare of our time." Stephen Sondheim practically reinvented musicals with his flair for theatrical storytelling through his lyrics and music. A lesser known fact is that Sondheim also played a huge role in the puzzling world. Before he was famous for musicals like West Side Story, Sweeney Todd, and Sundays in the Park with George, Sondheim was the first puzzle editor for New York Magazine in the 1960s. Sondheim's obsession with puzzles and games lasted his whole life. He discovered escape rooms while in his 80s, and played many of them! Sondheim famously said "art, in itself, is an attempt to bring order out of chaos," and the same could very much be said for puzzles. Barry Joseph joins us on REPOD to talk about his new book, Matching Minds with Sondheim, which dives into Sondheim's love of puzzles and games. The types of puzzles spanned everything from crosswords, to treasure hunts, jigsaw puzzles, and parlour games. Little known fact—Stephen Sondheim is credited with bringing British style cryptic crosswords to the USA! He also commissioned custom jigsaw puzzles as opening night gifts for the cast and crew of his Broadway shows. As prolific as Sondheim was with his musicals, he was equally invested in his puzzles and games. Guest Barry Joseph digs deep into all the different ways Sondheim incorporated puzzles into his creative work and daily life. If you found this topic interesting, be sure to get his book, Matching Minds with Sondheim and check out his podcast of the same name. I'd recommend starting with the two podcast episodes that featured our very own David and Lisa Spira: Escape Room Episode (ft. Lisa & David), Jigsaw Puzzles Episode (ft.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we uncover the latest revelations in astrophysics, including the intriguing prospect of supermassive dark stars, Australia's ambitious lunar rover mission, and fresh insights into the formation of our solar system.Supermassive Dark Stars: A New Cosmic DiscoveryAstronomers have identified potential candidates for a new type of star in the early universe, known as supermassive dark stars. Recent observations from the Webb Space Telescope suggest that these stars, primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, are supported against gravitational collapse by dark matter. This episode delves into how these dark stars could help explain the existence of supermassive black holes and the unexpectedly bright distant galaxies observed by Webb. With the possibility of a smoking gun signature in their spectra, the implications of this discovery could reshape our understanding of dark matter and stellar evolution.Australia's Lunar Rover Mission: A Step Towards the MoonWork is underway on Australia's first lunar rover, set to launch as part of NASA's Artemis programme. This 20-kilogram robotic vehicle, developed by the Queensland University of Technology, will explore lunar geology and contribute to establishing a sustainable human presence on the Moon. The episode covers the rover's design, mission objectives, and the collaborative efforts between Australian institutions and NASA to advance lunar exploration.Piecing Together the Early Solar SystemNew research published in Science Advances reveals that the early solar system was more chaotic than previously thought, with planets forming from recycled fragments of shattered bodies rather than pristine materials. This episode discusses the violent origins of our solar system and how high-energy collisions influenced the development of planetary cores, ultimately shaping the celestial bodies we know today.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesJournal of Physical Review Lettershttps://journals.aps.org/prl/Science Advanceshttps://www.science.org/journal/sciadvBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.Supermassive Dark Stars: A New Cosmic DiscoveryAustralia's Lunar Rover Mission: A Step Towards the MoonPiecing Together the Early Solar System(00:00) The potential discovery of supermassive dark stars(10:15) Australia's new lunar rover mission details(18:45) New findings on the chaotic origins of the solar system(25:30) Skywatch for October: Meteor showers and celestial highlights

Certain features of our universe seem unnatural to us. These include "constants of nature" such as the cosmological constant and the mass of the Higgs boson, as well as features of the initial conditions like the curvature of space and the initial entropy. But they can't truly be "unnatural" -- they are literally features of Nature itself. Some have turned to the anthropic principle and the multiverse, while others look to theism for an explanation. I talk here about my views on the various attitudes one might take toward these apparent fine-tunings, and why it is important to think about them.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025/10/06/331-solo-fine-tuning-god-and-the-multiverse/Support Mindscape on Patreon.Some readings of relevance:Livio and Rees, Fine-Tuning, Complexity, and Life in the MultiverseCarroll, In What Sense Is the Early Universe Fine-Tuned?Barnes, A Reasonable Little Question: A Formulation of the Fine-Tuning ArgumentGoff, Our Improbable Existence Is No Evidence for a MultiverseNeal, Puzzles of Anthropic Reasoning Resolved Using Full Non-indexical ConditioningSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
