Dordt Senior Thomas McCullough reflects on the path from Ravenna, Michigan to Dordt, what he remembers about his campus visits as a high school student and those who have impacted him while at Dordt.

“Federico has made it alone, imagining much and working more, arriving from Ravenna, where he was born, to become part of King Charles III's task force.… Those who want to break the mold have to take risks, swim against the tide, walk untrodden paths.”—Giorgio Armani, from the foreword to The Geek of Chic.  At the start of the 21st century, shopping online was still a futuristic fantasy. There was no Facebook, there were no iPhones. And yet, in the spring of 2000, Federico Marchetti invented one of the world's first platforms for online sales—and started a company that would revolutionize the luxury fashion sector. In THE GEEK OF CHIC: An American Dream, Italian Style (Post Hill Press; September 9, 2025; ISBN: 9798895650608; $18.99; 288 pages; Original Trade Paperback), international fashion business and tech icon Federico Marchetti, (with a foreword by Giorgio Armani), shares his engaging, honest and passionate memoir that reveals how he morphed from a geeky kid in the sleepy seaside town of Ravenna, Italy to a pioneer in online retail, offering practical advice for entrepreneurs and inspiration for visionaries and big dreamers.  The Geek of Chic explains the present and future of Marchetti's life, including working on His Majesty King Charles III's service as Chair of The Sustainable Markets Initiative's Fashion Task Force, which includes brands such as Chloé, Armani, Burberry, Cucinelli, Stella McCartney, and Prada. In a sector known for individualism, Marchetti is uniting global luxury groups around a common goal of shifting towards a circular industry that is climate-conscious and nature-positive. The King of England now considers Marchetti his consigliere on matters of regenerative fashion and digital innovation, collaborating on several initiatives and projects.   Unfolding against a backdrop of famed vistas—Milan, Lake Como, Venice, England's Royal Palace, New York City, Shanghai, Tokyo, and Dubai—and featuring encounters with notables from Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos to Giorgio Armani and Anna Wintour, The Geek of Chic's message is relevant to a new generation of entrepreneurs who wish to combine innovation, business acumen, and AI with humanism, creativity and empathy: how to achieve the American dream in an Italian way.  For more information about Marchetti, please visit www.federicomarchetti.com.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Italský přístav Ravenna minulý týden odmítl vpustit dva kamiony, které podle úřadů převážely zbraně pro Izrael. Starosta Alessandro Barattoni v prohlášení uvedl, že zvlášť poté, co Itálie zastavila prodej zbraní Izraeli je nepřijatelné, aby kvůli byrokratickým mezerám tyto zbraně mohly procházet Itálií z jiných zemí. A tou má být podle serveru Il Post Česko. Přestože to nepotvrdil ani starosta Ravenny ani české ministerstvo zahraničí, faktem je, že zatímco přibývá zemí, které zavádějí embargo na vývoz zbraní do Izraele, kromě Itálie například Španělsko, Česko jejich export zvyšuje. „Máme data o loňském roce, kdy Česko do Izraele vyvezlo vojenský materiál v hodnotě více než 1,2 miliard korun. Oproti roku 2022 je to skoro dvojnásobek," říká ve Výtahu Respektu Magdaléna Fajtová. Má Česká republika informace o tom, jak jsou její zbraně v Izraeli využívány? Rozhoduje o vývozu stát nebo přímo zbrojovky? A porušuje Česko něco vývozem zbraní do Izraele? Nejen to se dozvíte ve středečním zpravodajském podcastu.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8263OMELIA PER LA FESTA DELLA ESALTAZIONE DELLA SANTA CROCE (Gv 3,13-17) di Raniero Cantalamessa Oggi la croce non è presentata ai fedeli nel suo aspetto di sofferenza, di dura necessità della vita, o anche di via per cui seguire Cristo, ma nel suo aspetto glorioso, come motivo di vanto, non di pianto. Diciamo anzitutto qualcosa sull'origine della festa. Essa ricorda due avvenimenti distanti tra loro nel tempo. Il primo è l'inaugurazione, da parte dell'imperatore Costantino, di due basiliche, una sul Golgota e una sul sepolcro di Cristo, nel 325. L'altro avvenimento, del secolo VII, è la vittoria cristiana sui persiani che portò al recupero delle reliquie della croce e al loro ritorno trionfale a Gerusalemme. Con il passar del tempo, la festa però ha acquistato un significato autonomo. E' diventata celebrazione gioiosa del mistero della croce che, da strumento di ignominia e di supplizio, Cristo ha trasformato in strumento di salvezza.Le letture riflettono questo taglio. La seconda lettura ripropone il celebre inno della Lettera ai Filippesi, dove la croce è vista come il motivo della grande "esaltazione" di Cristo: "Umiliò se stesso facendosi obbediente fino alla morte e alla morte di croce. Per questo Dio l'ha esaltato e gli ha dato il nome che è al di sopra di ogni altro nome; perché nel nome di Gesù ogni ginocchio si pieghi nei cieli, sulla terra e sotto terra; e ogni lingua proclami che Gesù Cristo è il Signore, a gloria di Dio Padre". Anche il Vangelo parla della croce come del momento in cui "il Figlio dell'uomo è stato innalzato perché chiunque crede in lui abbia la vita eterna".Ci sono stati, nella storia, due modi fondamentali di rappresentare la croce e il crocifisso. Li chiamiamo, per comodità, il modo antico e il modo moderno. Il modo antico, che si può ammirare nei mosaici delle antiche basiliche e nei crocifissi dell'arte romanica, è un modo glorioso, festoso, pieno di maestà. La croce, spesso da sola, senza il crocifisso sopra, appare punteggiata di gemme, proiettata contro un cielo stellato, con sotto la scritta: "Salvezza del mondo, salus mundi", come in un celebre mosaico di Ravenna.Nei crocifissi lignei dell'arte romanica, questo stesso tipo di rappresentazione si esprime nel Cristo che troneggia in vestimenti regali e sacerdotali dalla croce, con gli occhi aperti, lo sguardo frontale, senza ombra di sofferenza, ma irraggiante maestà e vittoria, non più coronato di spine, ma di gemme. E' la traduzione in pittura del versetto del salmo "Dio ha regnato dal legno" (regnavit a ligno Deus). Gesù parlava della sua croce in questi stessi termini: come del momento della sua "esaltazione": "Io, quando sarò esaltato da terra, attirerò tutti a me" (Gv 12, 32).Il modo moderno comincia con l'arte gotica e si accentua sempre di più, fino a diventare il modo ordinario di rappresentare il crocifisso, in epoca moderna. Un esempio estremo è la crocifissione di Matthias Grünewald nell'Altare di Isenheim. Le mani e i piedi si contorcono come sterpi intorno ai chiodi, il capo agonizza sotto un fascio di spine, il corpo tutto piagato. Anche i crocifissi di Velasquez e di Salvador Dalì e di tanti altri appartengono a questo tipo.Tutti e due questi modi mettono in luce un aspetto vero del mistero. Il modo moderno - drammatico, realistico, straziante - rappresenta la croce vista, per così dire, "davanti", "in faccia", nella sua cruda realtà, nel momento in cui vi si muore sopra. La croce come simbolo del male, della sofferenza del mondo e della tremenda realtà della morte. La croce è rappresentata qui "nelle sue cause", cioè in quello che, di solito, la produce: l'odio, la cattiveria, l'ingiustizia, il peccato.Il modo antico metteva in luce, non le cause, ma gli effetti della croce; non quello che produce la croce, ma quello che è prodotto dalla croce: riconciliazione, pace, gloria, sicurezza, vita eterna. La croce che Paolo definisce "gloria" o "vanto" del credente. La festa del 14 Settembre si chiama "esaltazione" della croce, perché celebra proprio questo aspetto "esaltante", della croce.Bisogna unire, al modo moderno di considerare la croce, quello antico: riscoprire la croce gloriosa. Se al momento in cui la prova era in atto, poteva esserci utile pensare a Gesù sulla croce tra dolori e spasimi, perché questo ce lo faceva sentire vicino al nostro dolore, ora bisogna pensare alla croce in altro modo. Mi spiego con un esempio. Abbiamo di recente perso una persona cara, forse dopo mesi di grandi sofferenze. Ebbene, non continuare a pensare a lei come era sul suo letto; in quella circostanza, in quell'altra, come era ridotta alla fine, cosa faceva, cosa diceva, torturandosi magari il cuore e la mente, alimentando inutili sensi di colpa. Tutto questo è finito, non esiste più, è irrealtà; così facendo non facciamo che prolungare la sofferenza e conservarla artificialmente in vita.Vi sono mamme (non lo dico per giudicarle, ma per aiutarle) che dopo aver accompagnato per anni un figlio nel suo calvario, una volta che il Signore l'ha chiamato a sé, si rifiutano di vivere altrimenti. In casa tutto deve restare com'era al momento della morte del figlio; tutto deve parlare di lui; visite continue al cimitero. Se vi sono altri bambini in famiglia, devono adattarsi a vivere anch'essi in questo clima ovattato di morte, con grave danno psicologico. Ogni manifestazione di gioia in casa sembra loro una profanazione. Queste persone sono quelle che hanno più bisogno di scoprire il senso della festa di oggi: l'esaltazione della croce. Non più tu che porti la croce, ma la croce che ormai porta te; la croce che non ti schiaccia, ma ti innalza.Bisogna pensare la persona cara come è ora che "tutto è finito". Così facevano con Gesù quegli antichi artisti. Lo contemplavano come è ora: risorto, glorioso, felice, sereno, seduto sullo stesso trono di Dio, con il Padre che ha "asciugato ogni lacrima dai suoi occhi" e gli ha dato "ogni potere nei cieli e sulla terra". Non più tra gli spasimi dell'agonia e della morte. Non dico che si possa sempre comandare al proprio cuore e impedirgli sanguinare al ricordo di quello che è stato, ma bisogna cercare di far prevalere la considerazione di fede. Se no, a che serve la fede?

Was passierte heute auf den Tag genau vor soundsoviel Jahren – dieses Spiel spielen wir mit Euch seit über fünfeinhalb Jahren und fast 2000 Episoden. Erfunden haben wir das natürlich nicht, vielmehr haben auch schon die Zeitungen, die wir durchforsten, solche Rückblicke getätigt und dabei nur gelegentlich andere Zeitintervalle und Formate gewählt als wir. Der Hamburgische Correspondent beschäftigte sich am 31. August 1925 – also, Überraschung, heute vor auf den Tag genau einhundert Jahren – mit ausgewählten und überraschenderweise zumeist dezimal unspezifischen Jahrestagen der angelaufenen Woche. Einen Auszug daraus verliest für uns, auf den Tag genau einhundert Jahre später, Frank Riede.

Send us a textIn the finale of our "Love Thy Neighbor" series, we turn to one of the most challenging commands in all of Scripture. Leviticus 19:33-34 tells God's people to welcome the stranger, to treat the outsider not as second-class, but as family. This isn't just a call to holiness, it is covenant obedience rooted in God's own character.We explore what it means to see immigrants and outsiders the way God sees them, and how Jesus fulfills this command by welcoming us when we were strangers to grace. What does it look like for the church to live this out today? The answer may surprise you, and it might even make you uncomfortable.Join as we discover how holiness means more than private morality; it means love in action that embraces the stranger as kin.Other Episodes in this series:Leftover & Left BehindHonesty & HospitalityLove & LoyaltySin & Slavery Foreign & FriendLinkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

Send us a textIn part four of our Love Thy Neighbor series, we explore the bold witness of Phineas Bresee, before he ever founded the Church of the Nazarene. As a young Methodist pastor in the tense years before the Civil War, Bresee stood in a pulpit draped with the American flag and called slavery what it was: sin. To him, it wasn't about politics, it was about the gospel.This sermon challenges us to see that God's holiness is not passive. It names sin, confronts injustice, and calls us to live with integrity and compassion. From ancient laws in Leviticus to modern struggles like human trafficking, economic injustice, and exploitation, we discover that holiness isn't about staying "clean" by avoiding messy situations, it is about stepping into them with redemptive love.Join us as we ask: Where is God calling us today to stand for the vulnerable, confront systems of sin, and reflect the radical love of Jesus?Other Episodes in this series:Leftover & Left BehindHonesty & HospitalityLove & LoyaltySin & Slavery Foreign & FriendLinkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

A meditation preached by Fr. Eric Nicolai on July 25, 2025, the feast of St. James, at Lyncroft Centre in Toronto. Jesus called James and his brother John as they mended their nets on the Sea of Galilee. Their mother approached Jesus, asking that her sons be seated on either side of him in his kingdom. Jesus replied, “You do not know what you are asking.” Jesus turned to the brothers: “Can you drink the cup that I am going to drink?” “We can,” they declared. James was, in fact, the first apostle to share in the cup of martyrdom, under Herod Agrippa around the year 44. Saint Josemaria loved that readiness to follow Jesus, to go all the way. He underlined their response, "Possumus". We can frame this in terms of our readiness and openness to be well formed: to have the piety of children and the doctrine of theologians.Music: Michael Lee of Toronto.Thumbnail: James the Apostle, detail of the mosaic in the Basilica of San Vitale, Ravenna, 6th century.

He was a disciple of St Peter, born in Antioch. St Peter took him to Rome (he was bishop of Antioch before being bishop of Rome, so Antioch is as much the 'see of Peter' as is Rome) and made him Bishop of Ravenna. In Ravenna, he healed the wife of the military governor of a grave illness, after which the governor and his household confessed Christ and were baptized. Apollinarius was able to form a house church in the governor's home, from which he labored for the Gospel for twelve years. Eventually, he was condemned to exile in Illyria for his faith, and began a life of missionary travel in the Balkans, travelling as far as the Danube. After twelve years of this work, he was driven back to Italy by the hostility of some of the pagans. He was received with joy by the people of Ravenna, which aroused the envy of the pagan elders, who denounced him to the Emperor Vespasian. When the elders asked permission to kill Apollinarius, the Emperor only gave them permission to drive him from the city, wisely saying 'It is not seemly to take revenge on behalf of the gods, for they can themselves be revenged on their enemies if they are angered.' But, in defiance of the Imperial decree, the pagan leaders attacked and killed Apollinarius with knives. His holy relics are preserved in Ravenna, in a church dedicated to him.

 24 And there was also a strife amongst them, which of them should seem to be the greater.Facta est autem et contentio inter eos, quis eorum videretur esse major. 25 And he said to them: The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they that have power over them, are called beneficent.Dixit autem eis : Reges gentium dominantur eorum : et qui potestatem habent super eos, benefici vocantur. 26 But you not so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is the leader, as he that serveth.Vos autem non sic : sed qui major est in vobis, fiat sicut minor : et qui praecessor est, sicut ministrator. 27 For which is greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that serveth? Is it not he that sitteth at table? But I am in the midst of you, as he that serveth:Nam quis major est, qui recumbit, an qui ministrat? nonne qui recumbit? Ego autem in medio vestrum sum, sicut qui ministrat : 28 And you are they who have continued with me in my temptations:vos autem estis, qui permansistis mecum in tentationibus meis. 29 And I dispose to you, as my Father hath disposed to me, a kingdom;Et ego dispono vobis sicut disposuit mihi Pater meus regnum, 30 That you may eat and drink at my table, in my kingdom: and may sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.ut edatis et bibatis super mensam meam in regno meo, et sedeatis super thronos judicantes duodecim tribus Israel.St Apollinarus, a disciple of St Peter, came with the latter from Antioch to Rome. He was consecrated bishop of Ravenna and preached the Gospel of Christ amidst many persecutions, including prison and exile. The Apostle of Ravenna was beaten to death A.D. 79.

This message challenges us to examine the gap between claimed love and lived-out truth--and invites us to become people who speak truth and extend hospitality with courage and care.Whether you've struggled with being honest in hard moments, or you've been tempted to ignore the needs of others because of busyness or burnout, this sermon will gently confront and compassionately call you forward.We continue our Love Thy Neighbor series by looking at Leviticus 19:11-14 and rediscover how holiness is more than personal piety--it's about relational integrity and compassion in action.Other Episodes in this series:Leftover & Left BehindHonesty & HospitalityLove & Loyalty (coming July 28)Sin & Slavery (coming August 11)Foreign & Friend (coming August 18)Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Giorgio Ghiberti"John Florio. La vita d'un italiano nell'Inghilterra di Shakespeare"Frances A. YatesCasa dei Libri Edizioniwww.casadeilibri.comJohn Florio è noto ancora oggi per la sua grande traduzione in inglese degli Essays di Montaigne. Per i suoi contemporanei, era una delle figure più prominenti dei circoli letterari e sociali dell'epoca. Attraverso la ricostruzione della vita e del carattere di Florio, il testo di Frances Yates del 1934 fa luce sulla controversa questione delle sue relazioni con Shakespeare.Frances A. Yates, Scelse di studiare “storiografia interdisciplinare” e per più di quarant'anni fu legata al Warburg Institute della University of London, rivestendo anche incarichi di docenza. Gran parte del suo lavoro si è concentrato su neoplatonismo, filosofia e occultismo nel Rinascimento. Le sue opere principali, come Giordano Bruno e la tradizione ermetica o l'Arte della memoria, si concentrano sul ruolo centrale svolto dalla magia, dalla tradizione ermetica e dalla cabala nella scienza e nella filosofia nel Rinascimento. Oltre che di Giordano Bruno e Raimondo Lullo, si è occupata anche di Giovanni Florio, William Shakespeare e di storia della tradizione mnemotecnica da Simonide a Gottfried Leibniz. Insignita nel 1972 con il rango di Officer dell'Ordine dell'Impero Britannico, nel 1977 fu elevata al rango di Dama (Dame).Nel 2008 è uscita Frances Yates and the Hermetic Tradition, la prima biografia di Frances Yates, a cura di Marjorie G. Jones, tradotta in italiano da Andrea Damascelli per Casadei Libri nel 2014 con il titolo Frances Yates e la tradizione ermetica.Il merito di questo lavoro di riscoperta italiana va anche a Giorgio Ghiberti, curatore e traduttore d'eccezione, già noto per le sue splendide versioni di poeti come Baudelaire, Pessoa, Dickinson e Eliot. Ghiberti, nato a Ravenna nel 1952, porta nella sua traduzione tutta la sensibilità di chi conosce profondamente il valore della parola poetica e narrativa.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Have you ever walked into a bookstore, lonely and single, and hoped you’d meet the love of your life? We know there are at least a few of you out there. That's part of the setup for Moira Macdonald’s debut novel “Storybook Ending.” It’s a story about loneliness, friendship, reading – and of course, the singular pleasure of spending time between the shelves of a cozy book shop in Seattle. The spot in question, titled “Read the Room”, is based on Ravenna’s Third Place Books, one of Macdonald's regular haunts. We talk to Macdonald, the longtime Seattle Times arts critic, about writing her novel, her recommendations for great summer reads and Seattle's best movie theaters. And a note - this conversation first aired in June. Guest Moira Macdonald, Seattle Times arts critic and debut novelist See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textThe storm had passed, but Noah didn't rush. He waited—watching, listening, trusting. When the dove didn't return, he knew: the season had changed, and it was time to move forward.In this episode, Pastor Jason explores what it means to wait on God's timing and how spiritual maturity is shown in our willingness to surrender control. Drawing from Noah's quiet obedience, this sermon challenges us to release our grip, trust the Spirit's leading, and be ready when God signals it's time to step into something new.If you're feeling stuck between storm and breakthrough, this message is for you.Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

Send us a text We say God can have it all… but what about the parts we keep hidden? In this episode, Pastor Jason explores the story of King Azariah (also known as Uzziah) and the “surrender gap” that blocked the blessing of God—not just in his life, but in his community.With honesty, humor, and hope, this message challenges us to examine the “keep out” signs in our hearts. Whether it's pride, fear, or comfort, anything we withhold from God can hinder His work in us and through us.But surrender isn't about shame—it's about healing. And when we let go, God begins to bless others through the very places we once held back.

In this episode, my son Jack joins me to examine The Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius, a Roman scholar living just after the fall of the Roman Empire in 476 CE. A renaissance man before the Renaissance, Boethius translated Greek philosophers like Aristotle and Plato, served as a trusted aide to the Gothic king Theodoric in Ravenna, and was a mathematician, astronomer, and family man whose sons became consuls in their early 20s. Despite his Christian faith, tensions with the Arian Theodoric led to his imprisonment and brutal execution at 44. This tragedy tarnished Theodoric's rule, but Boethius' legacy shaped medieval thought, preserving Greek philosophy and influencing giants like Chaucer, Dante, Aquinas, and Shakespeare.Written in a cell awaiting death, The Consolation of Philosophy is a profound dialogue between Boethius and Lady Philosophy. Divided into five books, it blends prose (prosa) and poetry (metrea), offering wisdom through a narrative arc. Book One introduces Boethius' despair; Book Two explores Fortune's fickleness; Book Three seeks the highest Good; Book Four tackles the problem of evil; and Book Five reconciles divine foreknowledge with free will. The poems, rich with mythological and Biblical imagery, provide emotional breaks and reinforce the prose's insights. As C.S. Lewis noted, this work was beloved by educated Europeans for centuries.Boethius weaves Neoplatonism, Stoicism, and Aristotelian ideas into a Christian framework. Lady Philosophy echoes Plato's belief in innate knowledge, urging Boethius to “dream of your origin,” and champions philosopher-kings. Stoic themes emerge as she declares the mind free despite bodily exile, while Aristotle's Unmoved Mover aligns with Boethius' God. The concept of exile as a spiritual crisis resonates, connecting Boethius to figures like Odysseus and Dante.Jack and I discuss whether this is a satire, and how much both of us love Boethius as a character in his own novel.The Ignatius Press edition, translated by Scott Goins and Barbara Wyman, shines with clear prose, excellent footnotes, and quality paper—perfect for annotating. This book demands a reread and sparks a reading list including Chaucer, Milton, and C.S. Lewis' The Discarded Image. Join us! I think this book is for everyone, but even if you think, "Maybe not for me," you'll know what it's about and why it matters.This is a year-long challenge!

Full Text of ReadingsThursday of the Eleventh Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 368The Saint of the day is Saint RomualdSaint Romuald's Story In the midst of a wasted youth, Romuald watched his father kill a relative in a duel over property. In horror he fled to a monastery near Ravenna. After three years, some of the monks found him to be uncomfortably holy and eased him out. Romuald spent the next 30 years going about Italy, founding monasteries and hermitages. He longed to give his life to Christ in martyrdom, and got the pope's permission to preach the gospel in Hungary. But he was struck with illness as soon as he arrived, and the illness recurred as often as he tried to proceed. During another period of his life, Romuald suffered great spiritual dryness. One day as he was praying Psalm 31 (“I will give you understanding and I will instruct you”), he was given an extraordinary light and spirit which never left him. At the next monastery where he stayed, Romuald was accused of a scandalous crime by a young nobleman he had rebuked for a dissolute life. Amazingly, his fellow monks believed the accusation. He was given a severe penance, forbidden from offering Mass, and excommunicated—an unjust sentence that he endured in silence for six months. The most famous of the monasteries Romuald founded was that of the Camaldoli in Tuscany. Here began the Order of the Camaldolese Benedictines, uniting the monastic and eremitical lives. In later life Romuald's own father became a monk, wavered, and was kept faithful by the encouragement of his son. Reflection Christ is a gentle leader, but he calls us to total holiness. Now and then, men and women are raised up to challenge us by the absoluteness of their dedication, the vigor of their spirit, the depth of their conversion. The fact that we cannot duplicate their lives does not change the call to us to be totally open to God in our own particular circumstances. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Send us a text"What are human beings that You think about them?"That's the question King David asks in Psalm 8—and it's a question many of us still wrestle with today. In a world that measures our worth by performance and perfection, Scripture tells a different story.In this episode of The Dirt Path Sermon Podcast, we explore the stunning truth that you were made not just to admire God's glory, but to reflect it. You were created with purpose, crowned with dignity, and entrusted with a calling—not because of what you've done, but because of who God is.Through the beauty of Psalm 8, we'll look at what it means to bear God's image, why your identity doesn't depend on your past, and how Jesus came to restore what sin tried to steal.You were made for glory. But the question is—what are you reflecting?Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

Aegidius and Syagrius, father and son warriors, born of an ancient Roman-Gaul senatorial lineage, would keep the dream of Rome alive in Gaul long after the Western Empire fell.  In the baddest of bad neighborhoods, for three decades they reminded the world what Rome stood for, with no help from an emperor in Ravenna or Constantinople.  It wasn't about fame for these two, it was about principle!  Prepare to be blown away....

After clawing his way back to the Byzantine throne, Justinian II ruled like a man possessed—merciless, paranoid, and hell-bent on vengeance. But his enemies weren't done with him yet. In the western city of Ravenna, a revolt brews that will bring down the emperor once and for all. This is the story of how the man who came back from the dead was finally taken out—by priests, rebels, and his own shattered empire. No one cheats death twice.

Full Text of ReadingsFifth Sunday of Easter Lectionary: 54The Saint of the day is Saint John ISaint John I's Story Pope John I inherited the Arian heresy, which denied the divinity of Christ. Italy had been ruled for 30 years by an emperor who espoused the heresy, though he treated the empire's Catholics with toleration. His policy changed at about the time the young John was elected pope. When the eastern emperor began imposing severe measures on the Arians of his area, the western emperor forced John to head a delegation to the East to soften the measures against the heretics. Little is known of the manner or outcome of the negotiations—designed to secure continued toleration of Catholics in the West. On his way home, John was imprisoned at Ravenna because the emperor had begun to suspect that John's friendship with his eastern rival might lead to a conspiracy against his throne. Shortly after his imprisonment, John died, apparently from the treatment he received in prison. John's body was transported to Rome and he was buried in the Basilica of St. Peter. Reflection We cannot choose the issues for which we have to suffer and perhaps die. John I suffered because of a power-conscious emperor. Jesus suffered because of the suspicions of those who were threatened by his freedom, openness, and powerlessness. “If you find that the world hates you, know it has hated me before you” (John 15:18).

But how did it come to this?In this episode, the finale of our Fall of Rome miniseries, Tristan Hughes is joined by historian and bestselling author Adrian Goldsworthy to chart the chaotic final decades of the Western Roman Empire. From puppet emperors and ruthless kingmakers like Ricimer to the meteoric rise of Odoacer, discover how political infighting, military mutiny, and foreign ambition brought the Roman West to its knees - and ushered in the age of kings.MORE: Roman Emperors with Mary Beard: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7C7wRHjSPeif9pLD2UZJyY?si=5226c8e7f9584336Presented by Tristan Hughes.
