Podcasts about Ravenna

Was our first 10-night cruise on the Norwegian Viva everything we hoped it would be?

Send us Fan MailA first-century city packed with temples, power, and suspicion meets a single unshakable missionary. We follow Saint Apollinaris of Ravenna, remembered as a disciple of Saint Peter and the first bishop of Ravenna, as he steps into a world where preaching the gospel is not a metaphor, it is a risk you feel in your bones.We talk through the heart of his apostolic mission: how he leads like a real shepherd by staying close to his people, teaching house by house, and carrying a quiet confidence rooted in Christ. Along the way are traditions of miracles and healings that spark conversions, but also the darker side of early Christian history, riots, brutal beatings, and exile. What keeps Apollinaris moving is not denial of fear, but a steady choice to return, serve, and forgive.His story ends where so many early Church stories do, with martyrdom, but the episode refuses to treat it as defeat. We trace how his sacrifice strengthens the Christian community, shapes Ravenna's identity, and lives on through devotion, pilgrimage, relics, and the Basilica of Saint Apollinarius.

Today's saint, Apollinaris was important in the early church in Ravenna. St. Apollinaris shows us what it means to be holy and humble.

Monday of the 16th Week in Ordinary Time Optional Memorial of St. Apollinaris; born in Antioch, and became a disciple of St. Peter; his successor as bishop of Ravenna, St. Peter Chrysologus, preached a sermon in his honor in the 5th century, recalling how in the Church’s infancy, St. Apollinaris showed deep faith and dedication in the face of punishment; two beautiful churches in the onetime important Byzantine city of Ravenna are dedicated to him; he died in 79 A.D. Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 7/20/26 Gospel: Matthew 12:38-42

Full Text of Readings Monday of the Sixteenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 395 The Saint of the day is Saint Apollinaris Saint Apollinaris' Story According to tradition, Saint Peter sent Saint Apollinaris to Ravenna, Italy, as its first bishop. His preaching of the Good News was so successful that the pagans there beat him and drove him from the city. He returned, however, and was exiled a second time. After preaching in the area surrounding Ravenna, he entered the city again. After being cruelly tortured, he was put on a ship heading to Greece. Pagans there caused him to be expelled to Italy, where he went to Ravenna for a fourth time. He died from wounds received during a savage beating at Classis, a suburb of Ravenna. A beautiful basilica honoring him was built there in the sixth century. Reflection Following Jesus involves risks—sometimes the supreme risk of life itself. Martyrs are people who would rather accept the risk of death than deny the cornerstone of their whole life: faith in Jesus Christ. Everyone will die eventually—the persecutors and those persecuted. The question is what kind of a conscience people will bring before the Lord for judgment. Remembering the witness of past and present martyrs can help us make the often small sacrifices that following Jesus today may require.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Have you ever felt like you have to clean up your life before you could come to church? Or maybe someone made you feel like you didn't belong because of your past, your appearance, or your mistakes.Jesus tells a very different story.In this message from Matthew 22:1-14, Pastor Nicole Barnett explores the Parable of the Wedding Banquet and of its most misunderstood moments: the guest without wedding clothes. Rather than teaching Christians to stand at the door deciding who belongs, Jesus reminds His followers that our calling is to carry the invitation while trusting God to transform the people He welcomes.If you've experienced church hurt, struggled with feelings of unworthiness, or wondered whether God's invitation is really for you, this sermon offers both hope and challenges. It also calls believers to exchange gatekeeping for grace, remembering that the King never asked us to inspect His guests--only to invite them.The invitation is open.Will you trust the King enough to accept it... and extend it to someone else?Send us Fan MailLinkoln 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.

Att få uppleva Ravenna på plats var något alldeles speciellt och något vi har drömt om länge! Vi vandrade genom stadens stilla gator och klev in i byggnader som från utsidan ser enkla ut, men som innanför dörrarna öppnar sig till världar av skimrande guld och djupblå mosaiker. I Galla Placidas mausoleum stod vi under den stjärnklara kupolen och i San Vitale mötte vi de berömda mosaikerna av kejsar Justinianus och kejsarinnan Theodora – konstverk som fortfarande berättar historien om det Östromerska riket och den bysantinska konsten.I vårt senaste poddavsnitt tar vi med er till Ravenna och berättar om människorna, makten, tron och konsten som format en av historiens mest fascinerande platser! Det är en resa genom 400- och 500-talet där varje liten mosaikbit bär på en berättelse.Följ med oss på resan! Vi hoppas att ni blir lika fascinerade av Ravenna som vi blev…Support till showen http://supporter.acast.com/konsthistoriepodden. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Have you ever spent years trying to earn someone's love or approval?Maybe it was a parent. Maybe it was a spouse. Maybe it was a coach, teacher, or boss. You kept thinking: "Maybe this time...", "Maybe this accomplishment", "Maybe this conversation", or "Maybe this success" would finally be enough.Leah knew that feeling.In Genesis 29:31-35, Leah spends years hoping Jacob will finally notice her, love her, and choose her. But what happens when the person whose approval you've been chasing never changes?Pastor Jason explores one of the most heartbreaking stories in Genesis and reveals the freedom that comes when we stop building our identity on someone else's acceptance and discover the love God has already given us through Jesus Christ.If you've ever struggled with rejection, people-pleasing, emotional neglect, or the exhausting pursuit of approval, this message is for you.The greatest freedom isn't found when someone finally gives you the love you've been chasing; it's found when you realize God already loves you.  Send us Fan MailLinkoln 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.

Are you exhausted from fighting? Maybe it's conflict at home, tension at work, temptation, anxiety, bitterness, or old wounds that just won't heal. The truth is, everyone is fighting something. But followers of Jesus are not called to fight the same way the world does.In this message from 2 Corinthians 10:1-6, Pastor Jason Barnett explores Paul's powerful military imagery to reveal a surprising truth: Christians do bear arms, but not the weapons the world expects. Instead of  anger, revenge, manipulation, or intimidation, God has given His people spiritual weapons empowered by the Holy Spirit to tear down strongholds, overcome lies, and bring every thought into obedience to Christ.Discover why the cross looked like weakness to the world but became God' greatest victory, and how belonging to another kingdom changes the way you fight every battle.Whether you're struggling with broken relationships, spiritual warfare, unforgiveness, fear, or discouragement, this biblical message will encourage you to lay down the world's weapons and take up the ones Christ has given you.Send us Fan MailLinkoln 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.

When Jesus walked along the shores of the Sea of Galilee, He didn't find men looking for a new career. He found ordinary fishermen with jobs, responsibilities, and plans. Yet with two simple words,"Follow Me", everything changed.In this message from Matthew 4:18-22, Pastor Jason Barnett explores how Jesus still interrupts ordinary lives and calls ordinary people to extraordinary purposes. Discover why following Jesus isn't about having the whole map, but trusting the One who is leading.If you've ever felt too busy, too broken, too ordinary, or even too late, this message is for you.Jesus still walks along the shores of ordinary lives and calls ordinary people to extraordinary purposes.Send us Fan MailLinkoln 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.

Full Text of Readings Friday of the Eleventh Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 369 The Saint of the day is Saint Romuald Saint Romuald's Story In the midst of a wasted youth, Saint 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, Saint 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, Saint 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 Saint 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

Why does following Jesus sometimes feel harder than falling back into old habits? Why do we keep struggling with the same sins, patterns, and failures? If you've ever wondered whether you're simply bad at being a Christian, this message is for you.In this episode of The Dirt Path Sermon Podcast, Pastor Jason Barnett opens 1 John 3:4-10 and explores the difference between sin management and spiritual transformation. Jesus did not come merely to forgive sinners and leave them where they are. He came to destroy the works of the devil and reclaim what sin has damaged.Together we'll discover:Why living for Jesus can feel difficult in a broken worldWhat John means when he says, "sin is rebellion"How spiritual habits shape the direction of our livesWhy Christianity is about family resemblance, not behavior modificationHow Jesus is still taking ground from the enemy todayWhy you are not doomed to run on the same hamster wheel of sin and dysfunction foreverWhether you're a new believer, a mature Christian, or someone who feels stuck and discouraged, this message offers hope. The same Jesus who saved you is still at work in you.Jesus is still taking ground from the enemy, and He can take ground in your life too.Send us Fan MailLinkoln 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.

Tonight's guest, Mike Tornincasa, started out as a paranormal investigator, but due to a series of experiences he had while doing field investigations in places with a history of paranormal events, he's now a paranormal/sasquatch investigator. The first experience he had that might have involved seeing a sasquatch happened about 4 years ago, in an old cemetery, in Ravenna, Ohio. To this day, Mike's not sure what it was that he saw. A few weeks ago, however, he had a clear sighting of a sasquatch. You see, he was doing a livestream for his podcast that night, in Cuyahoga Valley National Forest, in Summit County, Ohio, and wound up seeing an 8-plus-foot-tall sasquatch peek out at him from behind a tree. Mike got the impression the sasquatch wanted him to see it. Needless to say, the experience made quite the impression on Mike. He's officially caught the sasquatch bug now.If you'd like to check out Mike's podcast, MT Paranormal Life, which we hope you will, please visit…https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoq5ddP3YYqUgoezNkF-digIf you'd like to visit the MT Paranormal Life Facebook Page, please visit…  If you've had at least one Sasquatch sighting and would like to be a guest on the show, please go to BigfootEyewitness.com and let me know.

Francesca ha 53 anni, vive a Senigallia e per quasi tutta la vita ha fatto l'insegnante. Oggi non lavora più: si è licenziata e vive con 23.000 euro l'anno, frutto dei suoi investimenti. Il suo rapporto con il denaro nasce da bambina, quando suo padre, impiegato di banca a Ravenna, le regala uno dei primi bancomat per bambini. «Da quel momento ho imparato a gestire i soldi: sapevo quanto potevo spendere in una settimana, e in che cosa». Cresce così tenendo la contabilità di ogni spesa e mette da parte tutto con una direzione sola: i viaggi, l'unica voce davvero preponderante nel suo bilancio.Diventa insegnante, compra casa, e poi si trasferisce in un casolare nelle Marche con il compagno, per inseguire il sogno di una vita in collina. Ma per dieci anni a lavorare è solo lei, mentre lui si licenzia per scrivere. «L'orto lo curavo io, della casa mi occupavo io, guadagnavo io. Lo squilibrio economico ha fatto saltare il piatto». Dopo la separazione conosce quello che è oggi il suo compagno, un ingegnere che da anni vive dei propri investimenti, e che le insegna la cosa che le mancava: smettere di affidare i risparmi alla banca. «Io non faccio trading, sono più una cassettista: compro titoli e li tengo lì, per far lavorare l'interesse composto». Comincia così a investire da sola e a ricalibrare ogni voce delle sue spese. Vende la casa in collina, si trasferisce a Senigallia, prova un anno sabbatico senza stipendio per capire come si vive senza un'entrata fissa. E quando capisce che regge, nel 2024 si licenzia. Oggi dei 23.000 euro annuali di cui ha bisogno per vivere, 9mila euro sono spesi in viaggi, e una parte finisce nel risparmio già a inizio mese, prima ancora di spendere il resto. «Io voglio godermi la vita adesso. Ho 24 anni in meno dei miei genitori: quando me la godo, a ottant'anni?».

On August 24, 410 AD, the Visigoths walked into Rome. They didn't break down the gates. They didn't storm the walls. The gates were opened from the inside — by slaves, by people who had been living under the Empire for years and had quietly stopped believing in it.The conventional story of the Sack of Rome is barbarian invasion. Fire and screaming. Civilization ending in a single night. That's the Hollywood version. The reality is quieter and worse.Rome wasn't murdered. It was hollowed out over more than two centuries by three forces that had nothing to do with barbarians.The first was money. The silver denarius had been debased so consistently that by 410 the coins were essentially worthless metal stamped with the emperor's face — a promise nobody believed anymore. Soldiers stopped showing up because they were being paid with garbage. Tax collectors demanded payment in gold and silver because the state's own currency wasn't worth taking.The second was borders. On the last day of 406, the Rhine froze and tens of thousands of Vandals, Suebi, and Alans walked across into Roman Gaul. The forts along the river were empty or close to it. The garrisons had been pulled back, stripped to fight civil wars in Italy, or simply never replaced. The frontier wasn't overrun. It was abandoned.The third was power. The Emperor Honorius was hiding in Ravenna — a swamp city with marsh walls — issuing laws that nobody enforced. When they told him Rome had fallen, he thought they meant his pet chicken, a bird he had named Roma. He had become emperor at eight years old. He had never led an army, never governed a province, never made a decision that wasn't filtered through palace bureaucrats more interested in their own survival than the Empire's.When Alaric's Visigoths arrived at the gates of Rome in August 410, the city's own slaves opened them.Rome didn't fall that day. Not really. The Visigoths left after three days. Honorius stayed in Ravenna. The Empire limped on for another 66 years. But everyone who mattered understood what 410 meant. The machine had been failing for centuries. The sack was just the paperwork catching up.Empires don't fall. They hollow out. And hollowing is worse than falling — because from the outside, everything still looks intact.00:00 — Rome Wasn't Murdered, It Was Hollowed Out01:54 — Welcome to The Roman Pattern02:19 — Rome in 410: A Theater Set03:06 — Two Centuries of Debasement05:15 — December 406: When the Rhine Froze06:53 — Alaric: The Visigoth Who Wanted to Be Roman08:16 — Honorius and His Chicken Named Roma09:10 — August 24, 410: The Gates Open From Inside10:29 — Saint Jerome Wept in Bethlehem11:50 — Why Rome Didn't Fall (Yet)12:44 — The Three-Link Chain: Money, Borders, Power14:02 — Hollowing Is Worse Than Falling14:53 — The Universal Pattern15:55 — Same Playbook, Different Century

Dutch authorities wrap up the cross-border response to the MV Hondius hantavirus outbreak as the ship reaches Rotterdam for decontamination, closing a months-long evacuation that spanned St. Helena, Ascension, and the Canary Islands. Health experts reassure New Orleans cruise travelers that hantavirus risk is 'very close to zero,' with no U.S. cases and broad spread deemed extremely unlikely. And Cruise Terminals International, under new leader Gregory Lanter, pushes ahead with nearly $1.3 billion in terminal projects from Barcelona and Ravenna to St. Thomas, reshaping the gateways of future sailings.

What if loneliness isn't just a social problem? What if it reveals something about how God created us?In this Trinity Sunday message from 2 Corinthians 13:11-13, Pastor Jason Barnett explores the connection between loneliness, fellowship, and the nature of God. In a world filled with social media, texting, livestreams, and constant connection, many people still feel isolated, unseen, and alone.As Paul closes his letter to the Corinthians, he calls believers to restoration, encouragement, harmony, and peace before ending with one of the most beautiful blessings in Scripture: "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all."This message reminds us that fellowship is not merely a church activity—it is rooted in the very nature of God. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit exist in perfect love and relationship, and through Jesus Christ we are invited into that life.If you've been struggling with loneliness, grief, discouragement, church hurt, or feeling disconnected from others, this sermon offers both hope and a practical invitation toward healing and community.Because a people created in the image of the Trinity cannot thrive alone.Send us Fan MailLinkoln 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.

On August 22, 408 AD, the Western Roman Emperor Honorius signed an execution order. The man being executed was Flavius Stilicho — half Vandal, half Roman, the general who had defeated Alaric three times, held the Rhine frontier together for 13 years, and kept a collapsing political structure functioning through sheer competence. For more than a decade he had been the only thing standing between the Western Empire and total disintegration.The Senate hated him. The court whispered against him. They said he was conspiring with the Goths. They said he wanted to put his son on the throne. They said his barbarian blood made him untrustworthy.None of it was true. But systems like this eventually stop needing truth. They just need targets.Stilicho walked out of a church in Ravenna and accepted his fate. He could have resisted — 10,000 federate troops were personally loyal to him, and he could have seized power and likely won. He chose not to. He still believed in something larger than himself. The system that executed him no longer did.Within months, 10,000 federate soldiers marched directly to Alaric's camp. The Rhine frontier collapsed. The borders dissolved. The army Stilicho had built to defend Italy became the army that destroyed it. Two years later, on August 24, 410 AD, Alaric walked into Rome — undefended, unresisted — and sacked it for three days.The man most capable of preventing it had already been killed by his own government.This is the autopsy of how empires actually die. Not from the outside in. They destroy their own immune system first and call it patriotism.00:00 — Rome Killed the Man Who Was Saving It02:24 — Welcome to The Roman Pattern02:45 — What Rome Had Become by 395 AD03:06 — Who Was Flavius Stilicho?04:05 — The Three Fault Lines: Money, Borders, Power06:23 — Stilicho's Rise Through Competence07:38 — Theodosius Dies, Stilicho Inherits an Empire08:03 — Alaric and the Eastern Court's Sabotage09:43 — The Battle of Pollentia (402 AD)10:55 — The Deal That Sealed His Fate11:43 — The Rhine Freezes (December 406)12:31 — Honorius the Chicken Farmer13:21 — Olympius and the Whispered Accusations14:07 — August 22, 408 AD: The Execution15:07 — The Federate Defection and the Sack of Rome18:13 — When Systems Can't Tell Threat from Solution21:06 — The Last Roman

What does the Bible really mean when it talks about "the rod"?For generations, many Christians have heard the phrase "spare the rod, spoil the child" and assumed Proverbs 13:24 was primarily about punishment. But what if the image behind the proverb is much deeper than we realize?In this message, Nicole Barnett explores the Hebrew language and imagery behind the "rod," uncovering connections to shepherds, kings, protection, guidance, and responsibility. Through personal testimony and biblical reflection, she challenges us to consider how authority is meant to be used—not as a weapon of fear, but as a tool of care.Whether you're a parent, grandparent, teacher, pastor, or simply someone trying to follow Jesus faithfully, this message asks a powerful question: What image of Christ are we showing to the people entrusted to our care?Send us Fan MailLinkoln 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.

Apriremo la nostra rubrica di attualità con una discussione sui tesi colloqui tra Stati Uniti, Groenlandia e Danimarca riguardo al futuro della Groenlandia. Il dialogo successivo verterà sull'accordo siglato da trentasei Paesi per istituire un tribunale speciale all'Aia con l'obiettivo di processare il Presidente russo Vladimir Putin per il crimine di aggressione contro l'Ucraina. Nella nostra sezione scientifica parleremo di una società governata dall'intelligenza artificiale, gestita da un consiglio di bot di IA modellati su leader storici come Winston Churchill, Eleanor Roosevelt, Nelson Mandela e Gandhi. E infine, parleremo del più grande evento musicale d'Europa, l'Eurovision Song Contest.    La seconda parte di questa puntata è dedicata alla lingua e alla cultura italiana.

Nel finale, daremo spazio all'espressione idiomatica del giorno, mettere nel dimenticatoio, attraverso il ricordo di Alex Zanardi, ex pilota automobilistico e atleta paralimpico tra i più famosi in Italia. - Nonostante le altre crisi mondiali, gli Stati Uniti continuano a spingere per un accordo sulla Groenlandia - 36 Paesi istituiscono un tribunale per processare Vladimir Putin - Una nuova micronazione asiatica è governata da bot di intelligenza artificiale modellati su leader storici - La Bulgaria vince per la prima volta l'Eurovision Song Contest - Il caso dei pavoni a Punta Marina - Alex Zanardi, il campione che ci ha insegnato a vivere

Den tidiga medeltiden ligger mer än ett millennium bakom oss, och för många nutidsmänniskor är det en svårgripbar era, men än idag finns det gott om museer och platser där vi kan komma epoken nära. Oavsett om vi håller oss till Sverige eller om vi söker oss mot kontinenten eller brittiska öarna är det lättare än vi tror att komma perioden mellan romarrikets fall och vikingatiden in på livet. I detta highlights-avsnitt rör vi oss från Hagia Sofia och Yerebatan Saray i Istanbul över de mosaikklädda kyrkorna i italienska Ravenna och de visigotiska votivkronorna i Spanien till fascinerande platser i Nordeuropa, som irländska Skellig Michael, Björketorpsmonumentet i Blekinge och bildstenshallen i Gotlands museum. Vi bekantar oss med intakta verktygslådor från södra Norrland, en Buddhaskulptur från Helgö i Mälardalen, den karolingiska klosterporten i tyska Lorsch, Sutton Hoo-fynden från England och de undersköna bokilluminationer som kan beskådas i montrar i Dublin och London.I detta avsnitt av podden Harrisons dramatiska historia samtalar Dick Harrison, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, och fackboksförfattaren Katarina Harrison Lindbergh om lämningar efter tidig medeltid och järnålder i dagens Europa, med djupdykningar om många föremål och platser.Bild: Yerebatan saray, eller Basilikacisternen, efter restaurering.

The Church talks a lot about power these days. Political power. Cultural influence. Fear. Outrage. Control. But what if the modern Church has forgotten where its power actually comes from?In this sermon from Ephesians 1:15-23, Pastor Jason Barnett explores Paul's prayer for the church in Ephesus and why it still matters today. Living in a culture obsessed with spiritual forces, empire, and fear, the Ephesian believers needed a reminder that Jesus Christ is already reigning above every ruler, authority, and power. And that the same resurrection power that raised Him from the dead is already at work within His people.This message wrestles with spiritual exhaustion, anxiety, culture wars, misplaced trust, and the temptation for Christians to search for “borrowed power” instead of depending on Christ. Along the way, Pastor Jason shares a powerful illustration from Nazarene evangelist Dr. Chic Shaver about fish jumping out of an aquarium searching for freedom, only to discover they left the very environment giving them life.If you've been weary from the noise, fear, division, and pressure surrounding modern Christianity, this sermon is a reminder that the Church does not survive because human beings are powerful. The Church lives because Jesus is alive.Send us Fan MailLinkoln 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.

Full Text of Readings Monday of the Seventh Week of Easter Lectionary: 297 The Saint of the day is Saint John I Saint John I's Story Saint 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. Saint John I'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).Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

What do people reach for when life hurts?In this sermon from Proverbs 31:4-7, Pastor Jason explores addiction, emotional numbness, mental health, grief, and the quiet ways people try to survive pain. While many know Proverbs 31 as the "virtuous woman" passage, this message focuses on a mother warning her son, a king, about the danger of losing clarity, compassion, and purpose through numbness.This is not just a sermon about alcohol or addiction. It is about all the ways people disconnect:through workscrollingangerisolationbusynessemotional shutdownFrom small towns battling addiction crises to overwhelmed families trying to hold life together, this message speaks honestly about survival mode, healing, and the hope found in Jesus Christ.If you have ever felt exhausted, emotionally stuck, spiritually numb, or burdened by the pain of someone you love, this sermon is for you."Numb is not the same as healed."Send us Fan MailLinkoln 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.

Appuntamento fisso del Venerdì pomeriggio dalle 16 alle 18, torna IL CORTOCIRCUITO con il solito trio delle meraviglie, ovvero Pierpaolo Greco, Alessio Pianesani e Francesco Serino, per 2 ore di scoppiettante intrattenimento a ruota libera, con il supporto anche del pubblico e la sontuosa regia di GiuppyTV!Ospite d'eccezione The Italian Actor: MARCO PERRI!Microsoft e il futuro di XboxLa discussione si apre con l'analisi dei risultati finanziari di Microsoft. Nonostante la crescita dei servizi cloud, la divisione hardware Xbox continua a registrare cali. Si discute dei cambiamenti ai vertici guidati da Sarah Bond, con l'integrazione di esperti di intelligenza artificiale nel team Xbox e la promozione di figure storiche come Jason Ronald per guidare i nuovi progetti hardware. Un punto centrale del dibattito è l'eventuale apertura dell'ecosistema Xbox a store di terze parti come Steam ed Epic Games Store.Nintendo: Strategia e StarfoxIl focus si sposta su Nintendo, commentando l'annuncio del nuovo Starfox. Il team analizza la scelta di Nintendo di puntare su un "remake/reboot" dal taglio tecnico ambizioso per l'estate, discutendo se l'anno in corso sia da considerarsi "sperimentale" o semplicemente privo di grandi hit (system seller) in attesa della nuova console. Si parla anche del design dei personaggi, confrontando lo stile del gioco con quello visto nel film di Super Mario, e dell'impatto dei prezzi variabili sui titoli di prima fascia.Analisi del mercato SonyPer quanto riguarda Sony, vengono commentati i dati di vendita di PlayStation 5, che ha superato i 93 milioni di unità. Tuttavia, le previsioni per il prossimo anno rimangono piatte, forse a causa dell'attesa per GTA 6 o del prezzo elevato. Viene affrontato il tema spinoso di Bungie e della svalutazione dell'asset per centinaia di milioni di dollari. Si discute inoltre del tiepido successo di titoli come Saros (comparato a Hades 2) e della difficile strada dei "Game as a Service" (GaaS) per Sony dopo i recenti flop.Curiosità: Pavoni a Ravenna e MicrodrammiIn chiusura, il team commenta con ironia l'invasione di pavoni in un paese vicino Ravenna, discutendo dei disagi causati agli abitanti. Infine, viene esplorato il fenomeno dei "microdrammi": soap opera verticali prodotte per TikTok e social media, con un focus sul primo esperimento italiano prodotto da Maria De Filippi per la piattaforma Witty.

Ravenna is one of Italy's most quietly extraordinary cities – a place where the final centuries of the Roman world can still be read through intricate mosaics and imperial monuments.In this episode we are joined by Dr Eireann Marshall as she explores how this lagoon city rose to prominence, becoming first a Roman Imperial capital, then the seat of Ostrogothic power, and finally a key centre of the Byzantine world.At the heart of this story are not only Emperors and armies, but a remarkable group of women whose lives intersected with some of the most dramatic events of late antiquity.Academy Travel is a leading specialist in small-group cultural tours, allowing you to travel with like-minded companions and learn from internationally renowned experts. Like our podcast, our tours are designed to appeal to travellers with a strong interest in history, archaeology, architecture, the visual arts and the performing arts.Learn more here - https://academytravel.com.au/

L'apertura di giornata con le notizie e le voci dei protagonisti, tutto in meno di 30 minuti.Pavoni a Punta Marina: a Ravenna, nelle ultime settimane, una colonia di pavoni sta disturbando la quiete dei cittadini. Molti denunciano una situazione diventata difficile da sopportare. Oltre al rumore, vengono segnalate infiltrazioni nei tetti, giardini rovinati e marciapiedi sporchi. Alcuni residenti raccontano di convivere quotidianamente con gruppi numerosi di animali davanti alle abitazioni. C'è chi parla di una presenza ormai ingestibile. Per parlarne ospitiamo Francesca Impellizzeri, assessora alle Politiche e cultura di genere, Scuola e Infanzia, Bilancio e ai Diritti degli Animali del comune di Ravenna.

Have you ever felt like you're just one wrong step away from everything falling apart?In this Derby Sunday message, Pastor Jason Barnett shares from Psalm 121, a song written for people on the road, not people who have it all figured out. It's a reminder that God is not just waiting for you at the destination… He is watching every step along the way.If life feels uncertain, if you don't feel steady, and if you can't clearly see what's ahead—this message is for you.Bottom Line: You may feel unsteady, but you are being kept.

Europe's borders in the Middle Ages were created by one man, and he wasn't even born in the Middle Ages, nor was he Christian. It was Emperor Diocletian, who ruled Rome from 284 to 305. His reforms that chained tenant farmers to land created the blueprint for feudalism. He split the empire, which established the East-West divide. Lastly, his shift from static Roman legions to mobile armies set the stage for the warrior kingdoms that would dominate the early Middle Ages. Today, new genetic analysis of skeletal and tooth remains is revolutionizing how we understand this transformation—a high-status woman buried around 550 in Britain was born in Norway according to her childhood tooth enamel, proving the "barbarian invasions" were actually century-long migrations averaging just three miles per day. Today's guest is John Haywood, author of The Making of the Middle Ages: An Atlas of Europe. We discuss how Europe from 500-700 was ruled by warrior kingdoms with mobile courts that constantly traveled—only shifting to fixed courts and proper imperial administration after Charlemagne established counties, libraries, copyists, and the emporia trading centers where workshops and markets flourished. Haywood also explains how Ravenna's independence from Byzantium portended the rise of papal power, why towns collapsed from Roman populations of thousands to mere hundreds unless a bishop resided there, and how the density of churches and monasteries north of the Alps exploded between 600 and 1200 as the Catholic Church consolidated power across formerly pagan Germanic territories.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What happens when everything is broken and no one steps in to fix it?In this message from Isaiah 59:15–20, Pastor Jason Barnett explores a world where truth has collapsed, justice has failed, and humanity is unable to repair what's gone wrong. But instead of leaving things as they are, God does something unexpected—He steps in Himself.This sermon connects ancient Scripture to real life today, addressing the brokenness we see in the world, in our relationships, and within our own hearts. It also points clearly to Jesus as the Redeemer who enters into our mess and brings lasting hope.Send us Fan MailLinkoln 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.

Is following Jesus really free, or are there hidden expectations?In Acts 15, the early church faced a critical question: Is faith in Jesus enough, or do we need to add more? In this message, Pastor Jason Barnett explores how easily we add "fine print" to faith, and how the gospel calls us back to something simpler and freer.If you've ever felt like you had to measure up, fit in, or carry extra weight in your walk with God, this message is for you.Grace is enough.

Abstract: Many are familiar with the so-called gamma marks as they are portrayed on early medieval mosaics in Ravenna and Rome. They appear as right-angle marks, usually with toothed ends, or in a shape like a capital H on the corners of angels' and worthies' robes or mosaics depicting textiles such as altar cloths and […] The post Gamma Marks: Recent Works Relevant to Their Study first appeared on The Interpreter Foundation.

Have you ever missed something that was right in front of you?In Luke 24, two travelers walk alongside the risen Jesus—and don't recognize Him. Not because He isn't there, but because He doesn't match their expectations.In this message, Pastor Nicole Barnett explores how our assumptions about God can actually blind us to His presence. From childhood expectations to deeply ingrained traditions, we often look for God in specific ways—and miss Him when He moves differently.What if God is already at work in your life… and you just don't recognize Him yet?Send us Fan MailLinkoln 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.

Big Tech is coming for rural America's land, power, and water to fuel its hyperscale data centers. I'm joined by energy expert and journalist Robert Bryce, who has been chronicling the massive, bipartisan grassroots rebellion fighting back against the data center land-grab. The push for cloud-based AI and hyperscale data centers is draining America's resources at a record pace — requiring unprecedented amounts of electricity and water while offering little return on investment to local communities. It's the green energy grift all over again, but exponentially worse. From Round Rock, Texas, to Ravenna, Ohio, everyday Americans are uniting across the political spectrum to stop multinational tech giants from unnaturally rezoning agricultural land and destroying local grids. We dive into the shocking poll data, the reality of noise pollution, and why this fight is about much more than just energy — it's about protecting our homesteads from the ultimate Big Tech surveillance state.  Learn more about your ad choices.

What if the person who spoke the clearest truth about Jesus… wasn't one of His followers?In this powerful message from Pastor Nicole Barnett, we step into one of the most overlooked moments of the crucifixion in Gospel of Mark 15—when a Roman centurion, a hardened outsider, becomes the one who finally says what no one else would: “Surely this man was the Son of God.”As part of the Paradox Lenten series, this sermon wrestles with a haunting reality—sometimes the Church goes silent… and when it does, God still makes sure the truth is heard.But what does that mean for us today?This message challenges listeners to confront the moments where we've stayed quiet, compromised, or sounded nothing like Jesus—and invites us into something better: a restored voice that reflects His heart of love, truth, mercy, and justice.Send us Fan MailLinkoln 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.

“If God can do anything… why doesn't He?” That question isn't new. It was asked at the cross.As Jesus hung there, the crowd mocked Him with words they didn't fully understand: “He saved others, but He can't save Himself.” What looked like weakness was actually the greatest display of love the world has ever seen.In this episode of the Dirt Path Sermon Podcast, Pastor Jason Barnett walks through Matthew 27:32–44 and unpacks the paradox of the cross—how Jesus refusing to save Himself is exactly how He saved us.If you've ever wrestled with unanswered prayers, wondered where God is in your pain, or questioned why He doesn't step in when He could, this message is for you.What looked like weakness… was love refusing to give up on you.Send us Fan MailLinkoln 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.
