Sept. 27,2026 Daily Devotional: “The Power of the Quiet Place”Mark 1:35 "Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where He prayed." In the preceding verses of Mark 1, Jesus had an extraordinarily demanding day. He taught in the synagogue, healed a demon-possessed man, cured Simon's mother-in-law, and spent the evening ministering to an entire city gathered at his doorstep. If anyone had an excuse to sleep in or skip prayer, it was Jesus. Yet, before the sun rose and before the demands of others rushed back in, Jesus prioritized solitude with the Father. Mark 1:35 serves as an enduring model for spiritual discipline: grounding identity and direction in intimate communion with God before engaging with the world's demands. Here are vital lessons from Jesus' morning routine. There is intention over convenience-Jesus didn't wait to see if he had free time at the end of the day.He intentionally set aside time first, rising while it was still dark. Intimate communion with God rarely happens by accident; it requires deliberate choice. Ministry, work, family, and daily responsibilities continuously pour out our energy. Jesus understood that to pour into others, he had to be continuously refilled by the Father. Solitude isn't isolation or escaping responsibility; it's spiritual preparation. Jesus went to a solitary place—free from the noise, distractions, and expectations of the crowd. In our hyper-connected world, true stillness is rare, yet it is precisely in the silence that God's voice becomesclearest. Find your "dark & early" -What is the time in your day when distractions are at a minimum? It doesn't have to be 5:00 AM, but it should be a dedicated window where God gets your undivided attention. Establish your solitary place and designate a physical space—a specific chair, a quiet room, or a porch—where you can consistently meet with God without phone notifications or interruptions. Pray before you produce by prioritizing presence over productivity. Connect with the Creator before engaging with your to-do list.
Do You Struggle with Your “Prayer Life”? Find a Quiet Place for Your Personal Relationship with God and Pray to the Universe's Creator MESSAGE SUMMARY: Do you struggle with your “Prayer Life”, even though you know it is the most important component of a life lived as a Jesus Follower? Abraham provides you with a model for a “Prayer Life” that works. Abraham was an awesome man, and he had things happen in his life that were both important for him and humankind down through the ages as a resultant of his “Prayer Life”. For the development of your own “Prayer Life”, you can learn from Abraham's “Prayer Life”. One of the first things Abraham did, when he went to a new location or was in a new situation, was to build an altar to the Lord and call on the Lord's name in prayer. In Genesis 12:8, Abraham's focus on and the priority given to his “Prayer Life” is described: “From there he {Abraham}moved to the hill country on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. And there he built an altar to the LORD and called upon the name of the LORD.". Prayer was a priority for Abraham to build a place for God in his life and for his personal relationship with God. A way you can follow Abraham's example is to find an altar, a church, or a quiet place in your life to worship and pray, and to call upon the Lord's name like Abraham. TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, Sabbath rest is truly an unbelievable gift! Thank you that there is nothing I can do to earn your love; it comes without any strings attached. As I close my eyes for these few minutes before you, all I can say is, thank you! In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 133). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!

Giving Thanks to the Lord MESSAGE SUMMARY: From the Gospel of Luke (17:11-19): “Giving Thanks to the Lord” Introduction from “Living the Bible”: Rev. William Tyndall, in the 1500s, translated the entire Bible, by hand, from Latin into English so that the ordinary people could have the Word from the Lord. Tyndall was burned at the stake, in 1537, by the Church because of his courage and gift of the translated Bible to the human race. In 1611, Tyndall's translation was used to develop the King James version of the English Bible. People have died in the translation, printing, and distribution of the Bible so that we can have our Bible to read and understand. If we would just take ten minutes a day to read the Bible, our Spiritual lives would be greater than we could imagine. By the way, it is OK to mark in the Bible – you can underline key points or make notes to increase your knowledge and understanding of the Lord's Word. As we systematically read the Bible we need to learn and understand God's Word – through study and memorization. Also, we need to meditate on God's Word from the Bible: “but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night." (Psalms 1:2). The five fingers for getting a grasp of the Bible's scriptures are: 1) hear; 2) read; 3) mark; 4) learn; and 5) inwardly digest the scriptures. Remember, “The Bible is the inspired Word of God, and it contains all that is needed for our Salvation.”. Today's Message – “Giving Thanks to the Lord”: In Isaiah 12:4, we are instructed: “And you will say in that day: ‘Give thanks to the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the peoples, proclaim that his name is exalted.'”. If we compare all our lives' conveniences and facilitators today with the life situation of a twenty-five-year-old person in 1900, we will realize how truly blessed and privileged, in terms of things that make our lives easier, we are to live today. Also, we are blessed to live where we live today. When is the last time we gave thanks to God for living in this time period and living in America? “Give thanks to the LORD, call upon his name.” We have so many things, including our health, job, home facilities, and family, for which we should “give thanks to the Lord”. However, we get focused on ourselves; and we forget how blessed our lives are. Therefore, we forget to “give thanks to the Lord”. In Luke 17:11-19, Luke tells us the story of Jesus healing the ten lepers: “On the way to Jerusalem he was passing along between Samaria and Galilee. And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers, who stood at a distance and lifted up their voices, saying, ‘Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.' When he saw them he said to them, ‘Go and show yourselves to the priests.' And as they went they were cleansed. Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice; and he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan. Then Jesus answered, ‘Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?' And he said to him, ‘Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.'". Of the ten lepers that Jesus healed, only one leper, the “foreigner”, gave “thanks to the LORD, call upon his name”. It seems that Jesus is disappointed that not one of His fellow Jews gave thanks for being healed. We can only hope that we don't take God's blessings for grated and fail to “Give thanks to the LORD, call upon his name.”. As followers of Jesus, we should not need our country's upcoming legally designated Thanksgiving Day to, during every day of our lives: “Give thanks to the LORD, call upon his name.”. TODAY'S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation. Help me to trust you with all that will remain unfinished and to enjoy my humble place in your very large world. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter.

Welcome to Multiverse News, your source for information about all your favorite fictional universes.Avengers: Secret Wars doesn't seem so far away these days, especially with the surprise announcement from Deadline that A Quiet Place and Hamnet star Noah Jupe is the first to land a new, secret role in the film. We're on the precipice of Avengers: Doomsday this December and still don't know much about the plot, but that doesn't mean we're not ready to speculate! The MCU continues to pile on record-breaking stats, with the Avengers: Endgame Encore trailer garnering 77 million views within the first 24-hours of its release. This shatters any previously held record for a re-released film trailer; that number is more than four times any other amount. Spider-Man: Brand New Day took the number one spot at the box office again this weekend and has passed Avengers: Endgame to become the second highest grossing domestic film of all time. At number two, Ketchup Entertainment's theatrical rescue of Warner Bros Animation's Coyote vs. Acme hit its forecast with a very solid $15.4 million opening. 20th Century Studios' Ridley Scott dystopian future Jacob Elordi, Margaret Qualley, and Josh Brolin movie, Dog Stars, had a low $8 million opening off a $70 million production cost. Casper Kelly's horror comedy Buddy took the number six spot at the domestic box office with $5.36 million, a solid start for a film that was released on less than 1,800 total screens.In an interview with The L.A. Times, Ridley Scott confirmed that there is a sequel to 2017's Alien: Covenant in active development. He said the film “will pick up with David (Fassbender) creating a ‘brave new world for himself." Tim Curry who rose to fame in Hollywood for his iconic roles in It, Clue, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show has passed away at the age of 80. Anne Hathaway has joined the cast of Days of Thunder 2 at Paramount alongside returning star Tom Cruise. Paramount has also announced that the film will be released June 2, 2028. HBO Max released the first full trailer for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. The series will premiere over Christmas.Showrunner Tom King confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that Nathan Fillion will reprise his role of Green Lantern Guy Gardner in the DCU for the upcoming animated Mister Miracle series.Netflix has released the first trailer for East of Eden, Zoe Kazan's adaptation of the John Steinbeck novel that stars Florence Pugh. The limited series is seven episodes long and will begin streaming on October 1.
The calendar is about to fill back up. New school schedules, new work projects, church commitments, and the steady accumulation of fall's demands are just around the corner. Autumn is an exciting season, but it also carries a real risk of losing peace of mind to stress if we enter it without intentional preparation. Right now, before the rush arrives, there is a sacred window of time available — and the wisest thing we can do with it is pull away to a quiet place. Isaiah 26:3 connects perfect peace directly to a mind that is steadfast in trusting God. Without regular quiet time to reset that focus, the mind becomes like a fallen leaf tossed around by the wind — distracted by the present and anxious about the future. Going into a busy season with a mind in that state means being easily overwhelmed by demands that would otherwise feel manageable. Quiet time with God is not a luxury for special occasions. It is how we build the spiritual reservoir we draw from when the harder days arrive. Filling ourselves with His love and wisdom now means that when the pressure of a full fall schedule hits, we will not have to scramble for peace. It will already be there, steady and available, because the foundation beneath us is strong. Choosing to pull away to a quiet place is itself an act of trust — a declaration that we believe God will meet our needs even when we stop driving ourselves relentlessly forward. Bible Verse "You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you."— Isaiah 26:3, NIV Ponder Today A steadfast mind is a prepared mind. When quiet time with God becomes a regular practice, the mind grows calm and focused. When it is neglected, the mind grows anxious and easily overwhelmed. The difference shows up most clearly in the busiest seasons. Choosing rest is an act of trust. The belief that we cannot afford to stop is rooted in the fear that our life depends entirely on our own effort. Pulling away to a quiet place tells God we trust Him to hold things together while we rest in His presence. Build the spiritual reservoir now so you can draw from it later. The peace, wisdom, and renewal you receive in quiet time with God do not disappear when you return to a busy schedule. They carry you through it. A Prayer for You Today Dear God, I can feel the upcoming autumn season approaching, and I already want to race ahead into the busyness of it. I confess that I often let my mind get cluttered with worries about tasks I need to complete and problems I need to solve. But right now, I am choosing to stop worrying and start trusting You more. In this quiet place, please quiet the noise inside my soul. Send me Your peace. I want to live with a steadfast mind rooted in Your truth, not a mind constantly tossed around by changing circumstances. I surrender my need for constant productivity and choose to rest in Your presence. I trust You to meet all of my needs. As the seasons change outside, let Your unchanging peace keep me steady. Thank You, God. Amen. Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
As many are aware, Pastor Dom stepped away from regular duties to slow down, recharge and reflect on the things that God is stirring us into. As we approach our ten-year anniversary as a church, we want to celebrate God's faithfulness as we dream of future possibilities. As you listen, may you sense God's leading and excitement as you discern how to respond to the things God is preparing for you and for us as a church family.
Have you ever walked through a season when simply making it through the day felt like all you could manage? Maybe grief has changed everything. Perhaps the future looks nothing like you imagined, or someone you love is hurting, and you don’t know what to say. When life feels this heavy, people often encourage us to “hang in there.” But what happens when we no longer have the strength to keep holding on? My guest on this week’s episode of The Love Offering Podcast, Cheri Fletcher, shared a truth I haven’t stopped thinking about: “I’m not hanging in there. I’m being held in there.” After unexpectedly losing her daughter, Annie, in 2023, Cheri began recognizing the ways God had gone before her and prepared people and provisions to help carry her through her grief. His care didn’t take away her pain, but it reminded her that she wasn’t walking through it alone. Sometimes God’s presence looked like a friend sending a Scripture or prayer. Sometimes it was a neighbor bringing flowers, a pastor calling to check in, or even a bird singing outside her window. Each small kindness became a quiet reminder: You are still being held. In our tender conversation, Cheri shares: How to recognize God’s presence in the midst of grief Why sorrow may rewrite our stories without changing our identities How joy and heartache can exist at the same time What to say when we don’t know how to comfort someone Why our roles may change, but our purpose remains eternal Cheri also reminds us that we don’t need perfect words to love a grieving person well. Sometimes a simple “I’m so sorry,” a listening ear, or the willingness to say their loved one’s name can be a meaningful offering of love. If you feel like you are barely hanging on today, I pray this promise encourages you: “I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”—Isaiah 41:10 Friend, your hope isn’t found in how tightly you can hold on to God. Your hope is found in the truth that He is holding on to you. You are not forgotten. You are not alone. You are not merely hanging on. You are being held.

Join Alex and returning guest Dr. T.R. Brooks as they try to survive the post-apocalyptic invasion of blind aliens with really good hearing in the film A Quiet Place (2018). The film was directed by John Krasinski, starring himself, real-life wife Emily Blunt, deaf actress Millicent Simmonds, and child actors Cade Woodward and Noah Jupe. We follow a family trying to survive this invasion, trying their hardest to not make any sounds ever, but these pesky aliens have some wild hearing abilities in spite of their blindness. Topics focus on hearing, sound localization, and the attention required to figure out the sounds one is making while trying not to make any. The pair also delves into sound-based weaponry, with some firmly in the science-fiction realm, while others are painfully real. Could you survive this invasion while being completely silent?

Do You Struggle with Your “Prayer Life”? Find a Quiet Place for Your Personal Relationship with God and Pray to the Universe's Creator MESSAGE SUMMARY: Do you struggle with your “Prayer Life”, even though you know it is the most important component of a life lived as a Jesus Follower? Abraham provides you with a model for a “Prayer Life” that works. Abraham was an awesome man, and he had things happen in his life that were both important for him and humankind down through the ages as a resultant of his “Prayer Life”. For the development of your own “Prayer Life”, you can learn from Abraham's “Prayer Life”. One of the first things Abraham did, when he went to a new location or was in a new situation, was to build an altar to the Lord and call on the Lord's name in prayer. In Genesis 12:8, Abraham's focus on and the priority given to his “Prayer Life” is described: “From there he {Abraham}moved to the hill country on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. And there he built an altar to the LORD and called upon the name of the LORD.". Prayer was a priority for Abraham to build a place for God in his life and for his personal relationship with God. A way you can follow Abraham's example is to find an altar, a church, or a quiet place in your life to worship and pray, and to call upon the Lord's name like Abraham. TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, Sabbath rest is truly an unbelievable gift! Thank you that there is nothing I can do to earn your love; it comes without any strings attached. As I close my eyes for these few minutes before you, all I can say is, thank you! In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 133). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him! Luke 11:13 SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Genesis 12:7-8; Genesis 13:3-18; Genesis 22:9-14; Psalms 79:1-13. A WORD FROM THE LORD WEBSITE: www.AWFTL.org.

Jesus says: “Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division” MESSAGE SUMMARY: From the Gospel of Luke (12:49-56): “Jesus the Divider” Introduction: While Jesus does bring us “Peace”, Jesus tells us that His ways are not always our ways; and Jesus does not always bring us “Peace”. In the world, we have tabulation; but Jesus has overcome the world. However, Jesus tells us, in Luke 12:49-56, that He, also, brings “division”. Today, like in the time period of Luke's Gospel, we need to pay attention to God's signs in the world. Today's Message: If we are serious about being a follower of Jesus today, we need to listen to Jesus in Luke 12:49-56. Jesus begins His Simon, to many thousands starting in Luke 12:49, with His “fire of persecution”: “I came to cast fire on the earth, and would that it were already kindled! In this passage, “fire” does not mean the Holy Spirit; “fire” means the “fire of persecution” – which is “when the Gospel is preached without compromise”. This “fire” is the hostility that occurs when the world hears the Gospel preached without compromise. Jesus continues, in Luke 12:50, with: “I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how great is my distress until it is accomplished!”. Jesus uses “baptism” to refer to His immersion in death and His separation from the Father on the cross, but death would not hold Him. Continuing with Luke 12:51, Jesus tells us: “Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. For from now on in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”. How does this statement of “division” rather than “Peace” reconcile to Jesus' other statements regarding His bringing “Peace” into the world? This apparent contradiction, regarding Jesus and His “Peace”, can be addressed by considering the five ways the word “Peace” is used in the Bible [as presented in the audio teaching]: 1) an attribute of God; 2) fruit of the Holy Spirit: 3) a state of mind; 4) absence of conflict; and 5) being in right relationship with God through Jesus. Therefore, when Jesus, in Luke 12:51, says that: “Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division.”, Jesus is referring to the Bible's use of “Peace” regarding an “absence of conflict”. Jesus is telling His followers that He, the Gospel, and His followers have come to disrupt and confront. However, Jesus wants to have “Peace” in the other four contexts of “Peace”. In Jesus, we do have “Peace”; but when we do stand with and for Jesus, “division” and conflict are created. In this passage from Luke, Jesus wants His followers to know that following Him will have a cost in terms of conflict and worldly tribulation. Many in and of the world will not tolerate our communication of the Gospel. Jesus is not saying that “division” is good. Rather, Jesus, in John 17:22-23, expresses His desire, to the Father, for His followers to all be one with Him and the Father. However, Jesus is warning us that “division” is inevitable because we are human and sinners. Jesus ends His message to those assembled, in Luke 12:54-56, with: “He also said to the crowds, ‘When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say at once, ‘A shower is coming.' And so it happens. And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, ‘There will be scorching heat,' and it happens. You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky, but why do you not know how to interpret the present time?'". In this passage, Jesus was pointing toward His purpose on earth and the cross; but no one understood His message at the time period of His teaching in Luke – they could not read God's signs. Do we see and follow God's signs, or do we miss them and become party to creating “divisions”? TODAY'S PRAYER: Father, I confess that when difficulties and trials come into my life, large or small, I mostly grumble and complain. I realize the trials James talks about are not necessarily “walls,” but they are difficult to bear, nonetheless. Fill me with such a vision of a transformed life, O God, that I might actually consider it “pure joy” when you bring trials my way. I believe, Lord. Help my unbelief. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter, Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 94). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!

Message Dan and MikeWe're reviewing Netflix's The Last House, the sci-fi horror thriller starring Greta Lee and Wagner Moura as parents whose family gets mysteriously sealed inside their home with no way out. The premise is strong and the first act hooks us immediately, but a jarring five-year time jump sends the story spiraling into some of the weakest, most unsatisfying territory we've covered on the show. We dig into the film's abandoned plot threads, its unconvincing CGI creatures, the convenient "everyone's an engineer" problem-solving, and why comparisons to A Quiet Place don't do it any favors. We also talk through the film's IMDb Metascore and its rough Rotten Tomatoes numbers, and explain exactly why we can't recommend spending your two hours on this one.From there we pivot to a rundown of what's actually worth streaming right now. On Netflix, we're raving about Beef, WWE: Unreal, Tires, and Everyone Is Doing Great. On Apple TV+, we cover Your Friends and Neighbors, Widow's Bay, and Sugar starring Colin Farrell. We also flag a couple of shows we'd steer you away from. Plus, a fun tangent on A Quiet Place, film noir influences, and more of our usual brotherly banter.Support the showOh Brother Podcast:Support the Show!

In this episode of Epic Realms, we sit down with legendary comic book writer and artist Phil Hester, whose acclaimed career spans decades and includes memorable work on Green Arrow, Swamp Thing, The Darkness, Wonder Woman, The Wretch, and countless other titles. Known for his dynamic storytelling and distinctive artistic style, Phil has become one of the most respected creators in modern comics. We dive into Phil's journey from a kid who idolized comic books and the artists who created them to becoming one of the industry's most influential voices. He shares how his college experience helped shape both his artistic vision and his approach to storytelling, the lessons he's carried throughout his career, and what it was like meeting the heroes who inspired him before eventually becoming an inspiration for a new generation of creators. We also discuss his work on Green Arrow and Swamp Thing, the importance of creator-owned comics, and how they provide future generations with an ever-growing variety of stories, ideas, and creative voices to learn from and be inspired by. Finally, we explore The Quiet Place comic series, including the behind-the-scenes story of working with the studio and the fight to secure permission to expand the hit film franchise into comics. All this and much more with the one and only Phil Hester.
Send us Fan MailGod doesn't just speak through big moments. Sometimes He waits for the room to get quiet after the argument, after the tension, after the pride finally loosens its grip. We open Genesis 13:14–18 and sit with a striking detail: the Lord speaks to Abram after Lot separates from him. That timing becomes the thread we pull through the whole devotional, because most of us want clarity from God while we're still emotionally tangled up.We talk honestly about what blocks meaningful worship, why Jesus calls us to reconcile before we bring our gift, and how broken relationships can turn our singing into performance. I share a personal moment from leading worship while carrying unresolved conflict, and what changed when I finally made things right. If you've been asking how to hear God's voice, this is a practical place to start: peace, repentance, forgiveness, and a return to the quiet place.Then we zoom out to the “forever” promise in Genesis and what it means for biblical prophecy, Israel, and the church. I explain why I believe prophecy is meant to shape character more than satisfy curiosity, using 1 John 3 and the bride of Christ picture in Ephesians 5 to call us toward purity and readiness. We also explore Abraham's land promise, faith that looks beyond a lifetime, and why Christ is the true Seed who brings the promise to its full fulfilment.

When a person dies for something, that means it mattered to them so much they were willing to give their lives for it. Our Savior died so that He could restore what had been lost in the Garden, an intimate fellowship with God. Yet how many times do we rush out the door without having spent any time with our Lord? Today, let's talk about the cost of the quiet place and what it takes for us to make it more than a priority, a privilege.A Day of Stillness Registration:http://www.sitstillmydaughter.com/a-day-of-stillness.htmlMusic by:The Flow Of Time by Alex-Productions | https://onsound.eu/Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

Career / Process You broke in around 2006, and you're now pushing close to two decades in comics. How has your approach to storytelling changed from those early years to now? You've been at this for nearly 20 years at this point. What's something you understand about comics today that you wish you knew when you started? You're writing across multiple major franchises right now. How do you shift your voice between something like Superman, Iron Man, and G.I. Joe? On top of all this, you wrote a story in Creepshow Vol. 4 #5 titled Artificial Ignorance. Was that a story you had in a drawer, or…how did that come to be? Superman / Superboy-Prime Superboy-Prime has always been a volatile character, but here he feels almost desperate to prove himself. How do you balance his edge with making him someone readers want to follow? With Manchester Black entering the picture, what excites you about putting those two characters in conflict specifically? Any Superman elements/tropes you want to touch? Iron Man You've said Tony Stark is one of your favorite characters. What's something about Tony that you feel hasn't been explored enough in past runs? Madame Masque and A.I.M. feel like they're operating at a higher level here. What makes them the right villains for this phase of the story? Universal Monsters: Blood of the Wolf Man Do you have a favorite Universal Monsters adaptation? Do you have any favorite werewolf stories? This feels like a very grounded, almost psychological take on the Wolf Man. What drew you to that angle? Is the when of this story important to the overall experience? What makes the Wolf Man a character worth revisiting right now? Rapid Fire Question Round (Stolen from Stephen Colbert so that a guest is “known”): Best sandwich? What's one thing you own that you really should throw out? Apples or oranges? What is the scariest animal? Have you ever asked someone for their autograph? What do you think happens when we die? Favorite action movie? Favorite smell? Least favorite smell? Flat or sparkling? Most used app on your phone? If you could have dinner with any three characters you've written before, who would they be and why? You get one song to listen to for the rest of your life: what is it?

Send us Fan MailYou can learn a lot about survival by watching people make the worst possible choices under pressure, so we decided to turn that chaos into a game. We're playing “Who Wants To Be A Gajillionaire,” a trivia showdown built from the horror movies we've covered and the preparedness lessons we can't stop arguing about. It's part game show, part horror movie survival guide, and part excuse to roast each other for missing details we “definitely knew.”We bounce from 28 Days Later and the Rage Virus to the classic “fatal weakness” problem in Signs, then down into the psychological trap of As Above So Below. Along the way we hit survival horror staples like Dawn of the Dead, Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City, #Alive, and Room 1408, using each question to zoom in on practical stuff: how fast infection spreads, what resources you waste first, why shelter choices matter, and how fear makes smart people do dumb things.The late-game gets more grounded and grim with I Am Legend and the real-world parallels to rabies, then swings back into pure tension with A Quiet Place and the tiny object that sparks a tragedy. We finish by testing trust and verification with The Thing at Outpost 31, because sometimes the scariest part of the apocalypse is the people standing next to you.If you like horror movie analysis, zombie apocalypse preparedness, and survival logic debates that get way too competitive, hit play. Subscribe, share this with a friend who talks big about surviving, and leave a review with the question you think we should ask next.

Tonight is another great Horrorhound Spring 2026 Filmfest interview with P. Patrick Hogan, the writer & director of a sci-fi horror short film titled Blindsided, that also won Best Lead Performance & Best Sound Design at the Film Festival. The logline to the short is "A blind schoolteacher is thrust into a nightmare game of survival when an alien ship crashes & unleashes a monstrous predator." The film could very well stand with the likes of A Quiet Place, Bird Box & Hush, even with a runtime of under 10 minutes. We appreciate Patrick for his time & you can catch Blindsided next on May 30, 2026 at ConCarolinas Short Film Festival & June 7, 2026 at Portland Horror Film Festival.

From crushing riffs and razor-sharp death metal to soaring clean vocals, cinematic narration, and orchestral layers, Shadow Lands is packed with dynamics, groove, and unforgettable moments.We talk about:Writing and sequencing a full concept albumBuilding the narrative of the Shadow Lands and the Lamenter lettersCollaborations and guest featuresGuitar harmonies, bass tone, drum dynamics, and orchestrationBalancing catchiness with complexityGrowth since their last two appearancesTouring plans, including hitting the road with RiversHow Vestigial continues to evolve while staying unmistakably themselvesProduction is top-tier, the bass tone is massive, and the performances feel deliberate and powerful across the entire runtime.

In today's episode, Gina shares a guided meditation, helping listeners find peace and quiet within their own minds and bodies. The meditation begins with a relaxation exercise using deep breathing. A body scan follows, enabling listeners to know their bodily sensations better and improving peace and harmony.

We delve deep into the practice of mindfulness, encouraging you to slow down and return to a tranquil inner space without the pressure to fix or change anything about yourself in this moment. It's a gentle invitation to allow your body and mind the grace to simply be.Beginning with a calming exercise, I ask you to settle into your space, encouraging physical relaxation by dropping your shoulders and unclenching your jaw. As we take a collective deep breath in through the nose and release it slowly, I emphasize the importance of this breathing pattern as a foundation for the meditative practice we are about to engage in. The focus is on awareness and acceptance, acknowledging that it's completely normal for the mind to wander — a natural part of the meditation process. Each time you bring your attention back to your breath, you're practicing mindfulness and nurturing your inner calm.As we explore the sensations in the body, I encourage you to bring awareness to various parts — from the top of your head down to your feet. This body scan is about tuning into your physical sensations without the need for judgment or alteration. I prompt listeners to notice areas of tension or discomfort and kindly invite them to soften. The aim here is to recognize the body's inherent capacity for relaxation when we stop pushing so hard.#AnxietyRelief #Mindfulness #GuidedMeditation #BodyScan #StressManagement #MentalHealthMatters #GinaRyan #AnxietyCoachesPodcast #SelfCompassion #InnerPeace #Calm #Wellness #SelfCare #MentalHealthAwareness #BreathingExercises #Grounding #HolisticHealth #Relaxation #Affirmations #NervousSystemRegulation #Healing #MindfulLiving #PeaceOfMind #StressFree #SelfLove #MeditationPractice #MentalWellBeing #SomaticHealing #Rest #Softening #Tranquility #SlowDown #Presence #EmotionalWellness #HealthAndWellness #DailyCalm #MentalClarity #AnxietySupport #OvercomingAnxiety #InnerCalm #Zen #Mindset #PositiveAffirmations #QuietTheMind #Breathe #WellnessJourney #Spirituality #PersonalDevelopment #MeditationTime #BeWellSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Pastor Andy teaches about the importance of finding stillness in the seasons between life's most intense moments, using the post-resurrection appearances of Jesus to the disciples as a picture of how God meets us in the quiet, reflective spaces rather than in the noise. The process of growth often begins with pain, moves through a deliberate pause, and then leads to a pivot that produces real power, but too often the constant noise of phones, social media, and busyness prevents the self-reflection needed to hear what God is saying. Being still is not a waste of time; it is the place where strength is built, wise counsel is sought, and the next season of purpose begins to take shape.

Do You Struggle with Your “Prayer Life”? Find a Quiet Place for Your Personal Relationship with God and Pray to the Universe's Creator MESSAGE SUMMARY: Do you struggle with your “Prayer Life”, even though you know it is the most important component of a life lived as a Jesus Follower? Abraham provides you with a model for a “Prayer Life” that works. Abraham was an awesome man, and he had things happen in his life that were both important for him and humankind down through the ages as a resultant of his “Prayer Life”. For the development of your own “Prayer Life”, you can learn from Abraham's “Prayer Life”. One of the first things Abraham did, when he went to a new location or was in a new situation, was to build an altar to the Lord and call on the Lord's name in prayer. In Genesis 12:8, Abraham's focus on and the priority given to his “Prayer Life” is described: “From there he {Abraham}moved to the hill country on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. And there he built an altar to the LORD and called upon the name of the LORD.". Prayer was a priority for Abraham to build a place for God in his life and for his personal relationship with God. A way you can follow Abraham's example is to find an altar, a church, or a quiet place in your life to worship and pray, and to call upon the Lord's name like Abraham. TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, Sabbath rest is truly an unbelievable gift! Thank you that there is nothing I can do to earn your love; it comes without any strings attached. As I close my eyes for these few minutes before you, all I can say is, thank you! In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 133). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him! Luke 11:13 SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Genesis 12:7-8; Genesis 13:3-18; Genesis 22:9-14; Psalms 79:1-13.

Editor - Joel Negron ACE, Sound Designers - Erik Aadahl and Ethan Van der Ryn Project Hail Mary editor Joel Negron says that one of the first calls that he makes when he signs on to a new film is to his trusted colleagues in audio post, Erik and Ethan. And for more than fifteen years the trio has collaborated on a wide variety of films, including the Transformers franchise, Jungle Cruise and Cocaine Bear. But their latest film with directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller would prove to be one of their greatest challenges, but also one of their biggest hits! Based on the bestselling novel by Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary is a high-stakes sci-fi thriller centered on Ryland Grace, a scientist who wakes up aboard a spacecraft with no memory of who he is or how he got there. He soon discovers he is humanity's sole hope for survival, tasked with solving a cosmic mystery to save Earth from an extinction-level threat. As his memories slowly return, Grace must utilize his scientific ingenuity and form an unlikely alliance in the vast loneliness of deep space to complete his desperate mission. JOEL NEGRON, ACE Joel Negron is a highly accomplished film editor known for his versatile work across high-octane action blockbusters and visually inventive features. He has a long-standing reputation for managing large-scale productions, with notable credits including Thor: Ragnarok, The Nice Guys, and Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Negron's ability to balance complex visual effects with rhythmic storytelling has made him a frequent collaborator for top-tier directors, consistently delivering polished, high-energy cinematic experiences. ERIK AADAHL Erik Aadahl is a premier sound designer and supervising sound editor whose innovative approach to sonic world-building has earned him multiple Academy Award nominations. He is perhaps best known for creating the distinct mechanical "voices" of the Transformers franchise and for his evocative work on films like Argo, A Quiet Place, and Godzilla. Aadahl's philosophy centers on using sound as a narrative tool to evoke emotion and tension, often blending organic and synthetic textures to create immersive, award-winning soundscapes. ETHAN VAN DER RYN Ethan Van der Ryn is a titan in the world of sound design, boasting two Academy Awards for his contributions to The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and King Kong. Throughout his prolific career, he has played a pivotal role in defining the auditory identity of major cinematic universes, frequently partnering with Erik Aadahl through their post-production house, E² Sound. From the roaring intensity of Godzilla to the intricate details of the Kung Fu Panda series, Van der Ryn is celebrated for his technical mastery and his ability to elevate storytelling through sophisticated sound editorial.

In this episode of Ride On with Julie Goodnight, Julie takes a thoughtful look at one of the most common—and misunderstood—behavior challenges horse owners face: separation stress. Why can some horses quietly leave the herd while others panic, call, rush back, or completely shut down? And why is it sometimes the horse left behind—not the horse being ridden away—that has the biggest reaction? Julie explains the difference between these two forms of separation anxiety, shares an update from the ranch, and tells a story about helping her young colt Rip build independence in small, manageable steps. Then, in What the Hay? Q&A, she answers listener questions about a mare with severe distress when left alone, a newly bonded horse, and the story behind the flags hanging in her indoor arena.
