Podcasts about reaping

I'm excited to have the Angel of Hell's Kitchen, Alli, join me from Philadelphia for this latest episode of the podcast! We get to talk about some wonderful fandoms and her work. Alli and I kick things off by talking about The Hunger Games franchise. We cover both the movies and books (including Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and The Sunrise on the Reaping). Alli discusses some of the differences between them, and why she loves and revists the series often. We talk about favorite characters, favorite movies, and more. We also explore the idea of potential future books (and movies) and which characters we'd love to see featured. From there, we go to Westeros to talk about Game of Thrones. Alli talks about how she first got into the HBO series, and what kept her coming back for more. We talk about her favorite house and characters, her thoughts on the series, and what she'd love to see if there were even more spinoff's. Then we get to Marvel. We focus primarily on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with what movies Alli started with, and her favorite movies/shows. We talk about favorite characters, thoughts on the upcoming movies (especially the future X-Men movie), as well as characters not yet in the MCU - Psylocke, and Silk. We briefly discuss some of the comics those characters appear in. Lastly, we wrap up with a conversation about Cosplay. Alli talks about how she first got into Cosplay, as well as how she chooses which characters to cosplay. We talk about some of the ideas she has for photoshoots, and what she'd love to do in the future with cosplay.

"Don't Fear The Reaping" is a Dharma talk and brief guided meditation on the topic of karma. Karma isn't punishment, reward, or judgment. It's simply the seeds we plant with our intentions, words, and actions. The Buddha taught: “Whatever seed is sown, that is the fruit that will be reaped.”  We only need to pay attention to what we're planting in this moment. Hope this is helpful. Enjoy!https://bio.reverendgeorgebeecher.com

Everything in our lives rises and falls on our capacity to know that God is good, and that we can learn to receive His love, more and more! There is no limit to the amount of His love that you can receive! On this Father's Day, Maria brings a key message about learning to receive the Father's love.However, receiving love can feel very complicated, especially God's love, as it is unconditional and requires nothing in return. Maria shares two key weapons in not being deterred from your deeper journey with the Father- our righteousness in Him and our sonship with Him.  We are qualified to receive all the benefits of His glorious love when we activate these keys.Nothing can separate you from the love of God in Christ Jesus (Romans 8). It's all yours, and He wants to teach you again and again how to be great at receiving it! Letting the deep love of the Father in, will displace three core lies that the devil works with: I am unworthy, I am not loved, and I am not enough! The perfect love of God is designed to displace each of these lies over and over - not just once! Friends, there is more! Not only do you get the benefits of love, but you also get five keys of life: identity, purpose, passion, security and singular vision! This is gold, and it's all for free as you press into the glorious love of the Father! His Hesed love is for us and will carry us to deeper love!

In this introductory session of Healing School 2025, Pastor Dale teaches on how the principle of seed time and harvest connects to and impacts our harvest of healing. To reap any type of harvest, seed must first be sown, then watered. For the believer, our harvest begins when we sow the Word of God into the (good) soil of our hearts. Once the seed of the Word is deeply planted beneath our heart's soil, we must then take time to water the seed of the Word WITH the Word. We do this by continuing to look at, meditate in, pray, and speak the Word of God until the fullness of our harvest is made manifest.

Let's face it – we all want to get the most out of life. We want to reap a harvest. And in fact, that's exactly what God wants for our lives, too. He promises us an abundant harvest. And yet so often, life feels more like a drought than anything else.  In those times, we're left asking ourselves … So, where's my harvest? Generational Sin Well, welcome to Christianityworks again this week and we are starting a new series called, "Reaping God's Harvest in My Life". What is it that you want out of your life? Health, happiness, family, a job, career, a reasonable level of comfort, joy and peace, we want our kids to grow up and be happy, we want to have a happy fulfilling marriage, we want to have friends, we want to have balance, we want to have a good life, don't we? We have different variations, we have different permutations; the things that you are going to enjoy in your life, well, maybe I won't enjoy in mine and vice versa, because we are different people, we come from different backgrounds, in different circumstances and different outcomes will satisfy us. But there are the basics aren't there; the things that I spoke about before that we all want in our life? We want a life of significance, we want a life where we're part of a family, we're part of a group, we've got friends, we've got joy and peace. Those things are important to us and we expect to put in the effort and to reap the reward. We expect to reap some sort of harvest from all the hard work. What sort of harvest, is a different question, sometimes we get our expectations and our desires and our needs out of whack. You know, I spent a lot of my time before I became a Christian, chasing money and success and career. All of those things are good things, but when we get them out of balance, when they become the main thing; when they dominate above all the other good things in life, well, then we can end up looking for the wrong things, striving for the wrong things, hurting other people to get there and we reap a harvest, that frankly, is the harvest of our own selfishness. On the other hand, if we do good, if we get up every day and say, “Well, you know something, God, I know I'm not perfect, I know I am going to make some mistakes but my heart, Lord, my heart is to follow you today. My heart is just to do good things for other people and for myself.” Well, we get up and do that every day and we are going to reap, by and large, a good harvest. Well, over these next four weeks, today and the following three weeks, we are going to take a balanced look at "reaping God's harvest in our lives". The problem is that most people can't really describe what that harvest looks like; exactly what do we want? Let's just take a look at our own lives today. The bits where we don't have a harvest, you know, normally look across our lives and there are some areas where we are getting a great harvest – the results are good, they're satisfying, they're fulfilling – but so often there are one or two areas in our lives and we look at them and we go, “Wow! You know, I'm not getting a harvest here, in fact, I'm nowhere near to getting a harvest and I've made such a mess of my life. I'm never going to reap God's harvest in that area. Why would God ever even bother with me? No, God's harvest isn't for me. No! Harvest? No. it's a drought, it‘s parched, it's hopeless, it's devastating. The dam is empty, the crops are dead.” We can have such deeply entrenched patterns of behaviour that they rob us of the harvest. Sometimes we take on the weaknesses of our parents. We might have generational sin. A man, whose father was a gambler, may well end up being a gambler. A person, whose parent was alcoholic, could end up being an alcoholic. We take on the good traits and the bad traits of our parents and sometimes we look at our circumstances and we look at our failures and we think, “Aw, it can never work.” We are going to look today at the story of Isaac in Genesis chapter 26. If you've got a Bible, grab it, open it. It's right at the front of the Bible; the 26th chapter of the first book of the Bible and it's a story about Isaac, the son of Abraham and what he did in the middle of such a drought, this is what it says: Now there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine that had occurred in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Gerar, to King Abimelech of the Philistines. And God appeared to Isaac and said, “Look, don't go on down to Egypt; settle in this land that I'll show you. Stay here as an alien and I'll be with you and I'll bless you because to you and your descendants I'll give these lands and I'll fulfill the promise that I made to your father, Abraham. I'll make your offspring as numerous as the stars of heaven and I'll give your offspring all these lands and all the nations of the earth will gain blessing for themselves through your offspring, because Abraham obeyed my voice and kept my charge and my commandments, my statutes and my laws. So Isaac settled in Gerar and when the men of the place asked him about his wife, he said, “She's my sister,” because he was afraid to say, “She's my wife,” thinking, “Well, she is so good looking, the man of the place might kill me because of Rebecca, because she is so good looking.” When Isaac had been there for a long time, King Abimelech of the Philistines looked out of his window and saw Isaac cuddling his wife Rebecca and Abimelech called Isaac in and said, “She's your wife, isn't she; why did you say that she is my sister?” and Isaac said to him, “Well, you know, I thought I might get killed because of her,” and Abimelech said, “What have you done to us? One of the people might easily have slept with you're wife and you would have put guilt on us all.” So Abimelech warned all the people, saying, “Who ever touches this man or his wife will be put to death.” Well, Isaac sowed some seed in the land and that same year, he reaped a hundred fold. So here's Isaac, he's in a land that's not his own; he wants to run off to Egypt because Egypt seems to be much more prosperous and God comes to him and says, “No, stay here, I've got a promise on your life and this is your land, stay here as an alien”. So Isaac makes the decision to stay. It can't have been an easy decision; there was a drought, there was a famine and he stays in this land. But then he makes a huge blunder. He puts his wife out there and what a dangerous thing to do, this is something that his father, Abraham, did twice to his Mum. Unbelievable! Imagine, putting your wife out there, saying, “She's my sister.” Someone else could have taken her and slept with her. We man are supposed to protect our wives and he blows it, completely; he just repeats the generational sin of his father. He is in a land that's got a drought that's not his own, life is an absolute mess and then it says, “Isaac sowed seed in that land.” That's amazing! We are going to look at what happened when Isaac sowed the seed.   Sow the Seed We all want the most out of life, don't we? And sometimes the odds are stacked against us. Like that story we were looking at – the story of Isaac. Here was Isaac in a land that wasn't his own and his dad had made some serious mistakes and Isaac was just reliving those; that same pattern of generational sin that so often happens in our lives. We seem as though we can't control it, so dad has made a mess of his life, in a sense, and the drought is causing a famine. There's no harvest, there's no … How can there possibly be a blessing for Isaac, yet God promised him a blessing? God appeared to him and said: Look, don't go down to Egypt, stay here; stay here as an alien and I'll be with you and I'll bless you because to you and your descendants, I will give these lands and I'll fill it and you'll be blessed. When you look at that, you know you see God making a promise to bless you on the one hand and then you look at your own circumstances; the circumstances of where we live, our own failures and we think: there's no harvest, there can never be a harvest. Isaac was in the middle of a drought and a famine. He deceived the King, he hung his wife out to dry, he made a big mistake. I don't know what he was thinking, but he did something radical, in the middle of that mess. It says in Genesis 26, verse 12: Isaac sowed seed in that land and in that same year he reaped a hundred fold. Now farmers don't sow seeds when there's a drought. You know, when there's a drought, they look and they wait for rains and they wait for rains, because if you just put seed in dry land and there's a drought, not only won't you get a crop but you've wasted all the money that you've spent on the seed. So we think about that – it was a radical thing. I don't know how much the seed cost but in a famine, in a drought, you can bet your life it would have been really expensive. So here's this reckless thing, where he just takes the seed which cost him a lot of money and he puts it in the ground. The business risk, well, if you or I were doing it, would we have done it? Probably not; and the drought is so depressing. I mean, I have never been part of a farming community, but I know from what I've read and spoken to people who have lived in farming communities – when there's a drought going on, it's really depressing on the whole community and here it wasn't just a drought, it was a famine. People were starving and Isaac was planning to go somewhere else; to run away – to Egypt. It's not unreasonable he wanted to run away from the drought, but God said, “No, I've got a plan for you here, stay in the famine, stay in the drought,” and sometimes God calls us to stay. The thing that Isaac got right is he obeyed God. That tug in his heart; that word from God – he'd made a key decision to stay – probably against his better judgement. Ok, great – he stays. I've got a promise – “I'll bless you here”, says God and then what? Well, he makes this huge blunder; he lies to the King about his wife and she could have been taken to bed by someone else, frankly. So you've got the drought, you've got "I want to run away", you've got "God says stay", you've got this blunder, probably because of what dad handed down to me. You reckon he was confused? He should have failed; he blew it but God had made him a promise. God had said, “Stay here and I will bless you.” So Isaac – we see it in verse 12 – Isaac sowed his seed in the land. Takes a lot of faith to put seed in the ground when there's a drought. Even if there wasn't a drought, it's still an act of faith. You know, a farmer puts seed in the ground, there could be locusts, there could be drought, there could be flood, there could be fire, there could be disease. It takes faith to put seed in the ground, especially in a drought, and even when you've blown it. So what happens? Isaac sows the seed in that land and in that same year he reaps a hundred fold – the Lord blessed him and he became rich – he prospered more and more until he became very wealthy. He had possessions of flocks and herds and a great household, so that the Philistines envied him. Now the Philistines had stopped up and filled with the earth all the wells that his father's servants had dug in the days of his father Abraham. And Abimelech said to Isaac, “Get away from us. You've just become too powerful for us.” So what happens? He takes one seed, he plants it in a drought and he gets a hundred back. He takes two seeds, he plants them in a drought, he gets two hundred back. He takes a hundred thousand seeds and plants them in a drought and he gets a hundred times a hundred thousand back. And you read the rest of that chapter, chapter 26 – God just kept blessing him – He blessed his socks off and his son Jacob as well. Sometimes we think, “You know, I'm carrying sin around, I'm carrying this thing around, it might be sexual, it might be gambling, it might be any sort of other addiction and we know that it's been handed down from our parents – it's sad but true. And we think, “Oh, God can never bless me. I can never break this and I look around and I see this famine and this drought and things around me are going badly.” God's promise is to bless us! God is a God of blessing. But the promise didn't grow a harvest until Isaac planted the seed during the drought. Let me say that again. The promise didn't grow a harvest until Isaac planted the seed during the drought. So what's in that for us? Maybe you are looking around at a situation of drought and famine and failure and sin? What's in this story for us?   What's in it for Us? Well, we have been looking at this story of young Isaac, who was living in a drought and a famine and he made a mess of his own circumstances and he should have had failure written all over him. He wanted to run away from it all and now God says, "stay". Someone today is listening, maybe it's you, and today you want to run away from your circumstances and every now and then God does call us onto something new. Every now and then God says, “It's time to leave this church and go to another; it's time to sell this house and move on to another but most of the time God wants us to bloom where He has planted us. If God is calling you to go - go! But if He is telling you to stay – stay! And if your "go" is maybe leaving your wife or your husband or your children, let me tell you, God is not calling you to do that. There are some very extreme circumstances and I say this with all compassion because I have traveled the road of divorce; that's where I came to meet Christ. There are some very extreme circumstances of violence and abuse and God's plan isn't for us to be in those – I'm not talking about those. But so often we replace the ‘until death us do part' with ‘until something better comes along.' And we think, “Oh, well maybe God means for me to move on?” No, God does not! God wants us, most of the time, to stay where we are and to be a blessing to those people around us. And so, here we saw Isaac stayed where God wanted him, even though there was a drought; even though he went on to make a huge blunder with his wife. And there are so many circumstances in our marriages, in our jobs, in our church or in anything, where we would look at them through human eyes and we think, “They're never going to change - this is never going to get better,” but we see things in the natural but God's not natural – God is supernatural and supernatural literally means "above natural". He is so far beyond natural and He sees – He sees our circumstances, not from the natural perspective, not from the human perspective but from God's perspective; from the supernatural perspective. And God is a God of the harvest; God is a God of blessing and sometimes we have to do what Isaac did and stay in that place even through there's a drought and a famine and stay in that place even though we go on to make mistakes, and just plant some seed. One that is absolutely, one hundred percent for certain - if we do it God's way, whether it's to stay or to go – if we follow God's call, we will make boo-boos along the way, you know, we will make some mistakes but God honours those who honour Him. If God says, “I know you've got a famine in your land. I know your circumstances are just rotten and awful, but I want you to stay there, amidst that drought and famine and if we stay we honour God. God sees that, God honours what's in our hearts and He forgives what we do with our hands. God is a good God. Ok, so we stay, we do it God's way, then what? Then we plant seed in the drought, in the face of our own failure. Boy, is that counter intuitive or what? We want to give up by now but God says, “Plant seed.” Seed? What is seed like? Well, maybe you're in a job; in your work situation and you just hate your boss. I know that's a strong word but some people do. The boss is so oppressive, so unfair; promoting other people around you, victimising you and all we want to do is run away and God says, "No, actually, I'd like you to stay here. This is where I've planted you.” How can we plant good seed? Well, we can excel, we can say, “You know, I'm going to work hard anyway; I'm going to bless that person anyway. I'm going to do so well at this job, in the face of what this boss is doing to me, people are going to sit up and notice.” We can sow good seed into bad situations. Or in a marriage; maybe your husband or your wife is driving you nuts. There's pain and there's tears and there's anguish and we can say, “Well, I'm just going to ditch them,” but God's calling us to say, “No, stay here and sow good seed.” We can try and run away or we can stay and sow good seed. We can be the best husband or the best wife that we can possibly be. We can choose to bless and to honour and to love our husbands and wives. We can just be such wonderful people amidst the most difficult circumstances. Sowing seed is always a step of faith because we can't see the harvest when we sow the seed. Maybe your finances are a mess – your credit cards are up to the limit, the overdraft is up to the limit - and we just hear God saying, “Just stay there and become a good steward; cut back and become a good steward; cut back, manage your finances, give to the poor,” and I bet you that God will ask you to sow. Now sometimes when our finances are bad and we just think we have to save it all and we just have to stockpile it all and pay the debt off but I've seen it happen, time and time again – when God deals with our finances – one of the first things He does is calls us to give off the top, to Him; to the poor. It's about sowing seed and seed is a scary thing to sow because we can't see the harvest and we have to pay for the seed to sow it, before the harvest comes along – it is a step of faith. God is calling us to listen to Him; to obey Him, to take risks that He calls us to take, which aren't really risks but they look like risks, in faith. Isaac sowed seed and reaped a hundred fold. That's a lot! He couldn't control the weather. You and I can't control the outcomes, all we can do is to stay in the place that God's calling us to and sow the seed and it's God that gives the increase, it's God that brought the rains, it's God that blessed Isaac's step of obedience and faith. In our ministry – you know, in this ministry of Christianityworks - when we started taking programs to air, we had to sow seed. We had to start recording and producing programs before even one station had said, “Yes, we'll take the programs.” We had to spend money that, I'll tell you, we didn't have a lot of it, but we knew God was calling us to this. We knew that this venture was God's venture and God has blessed it so wonderfully and blessed so many lives through it but if we hadn't sown the seed, the harvest wouldn't have come. God gives the increase; it's His harvest. It might be our drought and our famine and our failure and our fear, but it is God's opportunity to be God and God's promise is to bless us. God doesn't just say, “Go out there on your own and do it,” God says, “Here's where I want you to do it and this is the sort of seed I want you to sow.” God is so personal. You know, when I pray and I ask Him, “Lord, what seed can I sow into this relationship?” Bang! He always, straightaway says, “Do this or do that,” and sometimes it doesn't make sense but we sow the seed and God blesses us. You see, it's in the middle of the drought that God wants to sow the seed, and the harvest is His. God is the God of the harvest. Is that scary to you? It is to me and I think it should be some days because faith ... we don't need faith if it's easy but the harvest that comes from faith, the blessing that comes from faith, the enormous, hundredfold increase that comes when we sow the seed that God calls us to, in the drought that God calls us to, well, that's an awesome blessing and it's God's blessing. That's God's plan!

Do you ever feel like your faithfulness in the small, unseen moments goes unnoticed?In this message Dan Harbottle, Senior Leader at Glorify Church, shares a timely prophetic word for every believer.Discover how God sees and rewards your secret faithfulness, what it means to release the "Sound of Hesed" (His steadfast love), and how you can receive a fresh anointing of joy and strength for your journey. This message is an invitation to trade weariness for His power and step into the public breakthrough that your private devotion has been building.

We all want a harvest in our lives. Who doesn’t? And in fact, that’s what God wants for our lives too. God promises an abundant life. Yet in order to reap His harvest, we have need to plant His seeds. And then nurture them. There’s a bit of work involved in that harvest. So join Berni Dymet once more, to discover God’s simple and powerful plan in this new series of Christianityworks ?"

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013), directed by Francis Lawrence, continues the epic dystopian saga based on Suzanne Collins' bestselling novels. Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook, X-Men: First Class) returns as Katniss Everdeen, who finds herself once again thrust into the deadly Hunger Games arena after her defiance in the previous installment inspires rebellion across Panem. Josh Hutcherson (Bridge to Terabithia, The Kids Are All Right) stars as Peeta Mellark, her fellow victor and partner in survival, while Liam Hemsworth (The Last Song, Independence Day: Resurgence) plays Gale Hawthorne, torn between loyalty and revolution.

Send us a textIn this episode, we dive into Galatians 6:7–10 (NLT) and the timeless truth that we harvest what we plant. Scripture reminds us that living to please the Spirit leads to everlasting life, and that perseverance in doing good brings a harvest of blessing at just the right time.Through reflections from my own week—learning the importance of rhythms of rest, noticing how the smallest movements in my golf game impact the results, and leaning into the ripple effects of kindness—we'll uncover practical ways God teaches us that our actions matter.This episode will encourage you to slow down, keep your eyes fixed on the follow-through, and never grow weary in doing good. The seeds you sow today are shaping tomorrow's harvest.

Nancy Matsumoto is the author of Reaping What She Sows: How Women Are Rebuilding Our Broken Food System, which will be released in October but is available for pre-order now. The book is a collection of stories about women that are creating alternative food networks. They are building out local and regional supply chains in the face of overwhelming odds and the destructiveness of industrial agriculture. While the book traces how broken our global food system is, it's quite hopeful. All of the women featured are doing something about it. They are making changes. They are building something.We talk a lot about supply chains, how long they are and the work that it takes to shorten them. We talk about how an obscure Eurasian grass called kernza is having a positive impact on landscapes in the north central US while being used to create beer. How cacao producers in Belize and Guatemala are getting organized to better their situation. If you want to be inspired in making the changes you want to see in the world, read this book. We also talk with Nancy about the art of writing. We actually have the same agent and have faced a lot of the same challenges in the media industry, which has become nearly impossible to navigate. Putting non-fiction narrative books like this together require tremendous amounts of time and patience, yet we do it because these are important stories to tell. Nancy has also written the books Exploring the World of Japanese Craft Sake and By the Shore of Lake Michigan, a translation of WWII-era Japanese concentration camp poetry. Again, the latest book is Reaping What She Sows: How Women Are Rebuilding Our Broken Food System. Order a copy or follow Nancy on her just launched Substack, Reaping, which follows some of the stories from the book. --Host: Nicholas GillCo-host: Juliana DuqueProduced by Nicholas Gill & Juliana Duque Recording & Editing by New Worlder https://www.newworlder.com Read more at New Worlder: https://www.newworlder.com

In today's Morning Manna, we explore Proverbs 10:13-16 and uncover the contrast between wisdom and folly, preparation and destruction, righteousness and sin. Solomon teaches that the wise store up knowledge and guard their lips, while the foolish invite ruin with careless words. We also examine how true security is not found in riches but in walking in God's ways, where righteous labor produces life and eternal reward. Join us as we dig into God's Word and discover how wisdom builds while foolishness destroys.  Teachers:  Rick Wiles and Doc BurkhartYou can partner with us by visiting FaithandValues.com, calling 1-800-576-2116, or by mail at PO Box 399 Vero Beach, FL 32961.Get high-quality emergency preparedness food today from American Reserves!AmericanReserves.comIt's the Final Day!

The Hunger Games Full Movie Reaction Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   Save & Invest In Your Future Today, visit: https://www.acorns.com/rejects Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ With The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping on the horizon, Aaron & Andrew begin their journey to the sinister Capitol with their The Hunger Games Reaction, Recap, Analysis, & Spoiler Review! Based on the best-selling novels by Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games (2012), directed by Gary Ross, is the first installment in the blockbuster YA dystopian franchise. The film follows Katniss Everdeen, played by Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook, X-Men: First Class), as she volunteers to take her sister's place in the deadly Hunger Games — a televised battle royale where tributes from each district must fight to the death for the Capitol's entertainment. Alongside Katniss is Peeta Mellark, portrayed by Josh Hutcherson (Bridge to Terabithia, Future Man), whose complicated alliance with her becomes one of the series' most compelling storylines. The supporting cast includes Liam Hemsworth as Gale Hawthorne (The Last Song, Independence Day: Resurgence), Woody Harrelson as the cynical mentor Haymitch Abernathy (True Detective, Zombieland), Elizabeth Banks as the flamboyant Effie Trinket (Pitch Perfect, The LEGO Movie), Donald Sutherland as the chilling President Snow (Ordinary People, The Italian Job), and Stanley Tucci as the unforgettable Caesar Flickerman (The Devil Wears Prada, Spotlight). Key moments like Katniss's fiery “Girl on Fire” costume, Rue's heartbreaking fate, and the climactic double-nightlock berry gambit have made this film an enduring pop culture phenomenon. Aaron Alexander and Andrew Gordon dive into the action, tension, and world-building that made The Hunger Games one of the most influential YA adaptations ever brought to screen.

Melissa and James discuss Suzanne Collins' latest Hunger Games prequel, Sunrise on the Reaping, through themes of integrity, the role of government, and human nature.Join us next month for Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid.

This week the Reserve Bank cut wholesale interest rates, by a quarter of a percent, which caused relief for some. But are borrowers reaping all the rewards from the cut? After the drop was anounced on Wednesday, there were a flurry of rates changes , but some have gone down further than others. To explain why, money corresponent Susan Edmunds spoke to Lisa Owen.

In our third message in the Sowing and Reaping Sunday series, Joe  reminds us of the ultimate call on a believer's life, a reframe of who Christ is looking to spend eternity with. God is preparing a bride spotless and white, for Jesus, the only one who is worthy. The price to choose Jesus is high and uncomfortable, it is an act that calls us to break ourselves to The One who broke first for us. The true essence of our walk with Jesus does not end with our mortal existence, but an opportunity to develop a deeper intimacy with Jesus, as the lady who broke the alabaster jar found out, having Jesus as the focus of our adoration and purpose, brings to surface all the noise surrounding life, ministry and faith. The question asked is do we seek Jesus for him or what he can provide? The seed of intimacy has eternity as its timeline.

Britt and Chris begrudgingly dive into this horrible chapter, discussing Ampert's end, Haymitch's thoughts on death, backup generators, and Palestinian and Native American acts of resistance. They also explore quite a few POVs, including Wiress, Capitol citizens, tributes, and Gamemakers. Please tell a geeky friend about us and leave a review on your podcast app!

Authority ChallengedAs Jesus teaches in the temple courts, the religious leaders approach Him with a pointed question: “By what authority are you doing these things?” Their inquiry appears sincere. They should learn why Christ is teaching here. He has just cleared out the temple. Rather than seeking truth, they aim to destroy Him while maintaining control over the people. Jesus responds by asking about John the Baptist's authority. John and Jesus are tied together. If you affirm John's credibility, then Christ is the messiah. They will not concede that Christ is the messiah, showing that their authority is from man rather than God.A Vineyard Without FruitJesus then tells a parable about a vineyard owner whose tenants abuse his servants and ultimately kill his son to seize the inheritance. This parable seems like a strange story until we get the backdrop of Isaiah 5. Isaiah portrays Canaan as God's carefully cultivated vineyard, blessed with every provision for fruitfulness. Yet instead of yielding a harvest of justice and righteousness, the vineyard has produced rebellion and self-rule. Like the tenants in the parable, Israel's leaders are attempting to secure the vineyard for themselves thinking that their squatter's rights will secure their place. They should celebrate God's goodness and celebrate the honor of caring for God's garden.The Cornerstone RejectedThe parable concludes with a sobering warning: the owner will remove the tenants but preserve the vineyard, entrusting it to others who will bear fruit. Jesus applies Psalm 118, declaring Himself the rejected stone that becomes the cornerstone. Those who stumble over Him will be broken; those on whom He falls will be crushed. The leaders' defiant cry is“Surely not!” conveys that they trust in heritage, position, and the temple rather than in the Messiah who stands before them. They are looking to the good things of God's provision for their sustenance rather than to God.The Call to Hear and LiveThe gospel's message is clear: life and identity are not secured by ancestry, covenant status, or outward religion, but by hearing and receiving Christ as Lord. God will prune His vineyard and gather a people from every nation, and build his new temple in the cornerstone of His Son. The warning is real that rejecting Christ leads to ruin. However, the other side is also true that there is hope; those who bow to His authority are planted forever in God's vineyard, bearing fruit that endures for eternity.

It's both a precious resource and a dangerous pollutant, exponentially increasing crop yields, while fouling our waterways with blue-green algae. The element phosphorus has played a crucial role in agriculture and war, while its reserves are unevenly distributed, with much of the world's supply located in the occupied territories of Western Sahara. Writer Dan Egan discusses the double-edged nature of an element that is increasingly depleted and overused. (Encore presentation.)

Psalm 126 is a joyful reflection on restoration and a heartfelt prayer for renewal. It opens with astonishment at God's deliverance—“we were like those who dream”—as the exiles return to Zion with laughter and singing. Even surrounding nations recognize the Lord’s mighty work. It uses agricultural imagery—sowing in tears, reaping in joy—to express hope that present hardships will yield future blessings. The psalm beautifully captures the rhythm of revival: remembering past grace, praying for present renewal, and trusting in future joy.

“Zohran Mamdani pretends to speak for the oppressed—but he grew up in a $60k/year private school, went to an elite college, is the son of a Columbia professor and a (rich) famous film producer,” writes Eyal Yakoby. What happens to New York if a self-described “socialist” becomes mayor? Kari Lake, John Carney and Mark Eiglarsh take down the latest media and courtroom chaos, joined by Breitbart's John Carney to expose NYC mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani's privileged past despite his claims to speak for the oppressed – and why AOC still clings to her brand as a “Bronx girl” despite growing up in the suburbs miles away. “I'm proud of how I grew up and talk about it all the time,” Ocasio-Cortez clarified on X. “My mom cleaned houses and I helped. We cleaned tutors' homes in exchange for SAT prep… Growing up between the Bronx and Yorktown deeply shaped my views of inequality & it's a big reason I believe the things I do today!” Mark Eiglarsh is a veteran criminal defense attorney, former prosecutor, and adjunct law professor at Nova Southeastern University. He is also a media legal analyst and author of Be Happy By Choice. More at https://eiglarshlaw.com Kari Lake is a Senior Advisor for the U.S. Agency for Global Media.
