Alicia Menendez is in for Nicolle Wallace. Alicia is joined by Jennifer Freeman, the representative for Maria Farmer, the first Epstein whistleblower. Farmer contacted the FBI about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell back in 1996 with little to no government response, according to Freeman and Farmer.Later, Rev. Al Sharpton and Tim Miller join Alicia to discuss the infighting in the MAGA movement. The MAGA coalition further fractured after JD Vance said he would "fight alongside” conspiracy theorists, extremists, and Holocaust deniers rather than exclude them from the party.For more, follow us on Instagram @deadlinewhTo listen to this show and other MS NOW podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.

When you're down there and you're alone, it leaves an impression. And so, when I got myself out of it, I just decided I never wanted another man to have to feel that way again.” – Rory PaquetteToday's featured bookcaster is a husband, father, coach, entrepreneur, and speaker, Rory Paquette.

In this powerful and grounding talk, Are You Comfortable Being Alone, Rev. Lee Wolak explores why learning to be comfortable with yourself is essential for emotional freedom, healthy relationships, and inner peace. When you stop fearing solitude, loneliness transforms into clarity, strength, and self-trust. This talk dives into self-connection, self-worth, spiritual independence, and why relationships should be a choice—not a survival strategy.

St. Paul encourages the Thessalonians to continue in good works without growing tired. Those who do not listen to St. Paul's instruction must be warned as brothers, in order that their shame might lead to repentance and renewed faith. Before St. Paul finishes, he signs his letter with his own hand and blesses the Thessalonians with the peace and grace of the Lord. Rev. Ryan Ogrodowicz, pastor at Grace Lutheran Church and School in Brenham, TX, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 2 Thessalonians 3:13-18. To learn more about Grace Lutheran, visit gracebrenham.org. “Yearning for the Day of Christ's Returning” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that studies St. Paul's two epistles to the Thessalonians. Although Paul's time in Thessalonica was brief, he had great affection for the Christians there. His two letters to the Thessalonians show us the joy that God gives us together in the Church and encourage us to live faithfully in expectation of Jesus' coming on the Last Day. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org
“In the beginning was the Word…” As our Advent journey reaches its climax, St. John pulls back the curtain to reveal the deepest mystery of Christmas: the Child of Bethlehem is the eternal Word through whom all things were made. In part 12, the final installment of our special series connecting Old Testament prophecy to New Testament fulfillment, we move from manger scenes to cosmic glory. The true Light that shines in the darkness has come into the world; He pitches His tent among us, full of grace and truth, that from His fullness we might receive grace upon grace. The Rev. Jacob Hercamp, pastor of Christ Lutheran Church in Noblesville, IN, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study John 1:1–18. To learn more about Christ Lutheran, visit clc-in.org. This Advent series begins by covering the last Old Testament prophet, Malachi, and then spends twelve episodes alternating between Old Testament prophecy and New Testament fulfillment, tracing God's promises from Isaiah to the birth of Christ. The series explores Emmanuel's promise, the Davidic King, John the Baptist as forerunner, and reaches its climax with the Nativity. The final episodes examine the Suffering Servant, the shadow of the cross in Christ's infancy, Isaiah's Messianic mission statement, and John's declaration that "the Word became flesh." Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

Join us for Day1 Episode 4214 as Rev. Jamie Butcher of Covenant Presbyterian Church in Atlanta brings a thoughtful and timely sermon titled “Praise Through the Haze.” Drawing on Psalm 148, Rev. Butcher explores how all creation is called to praise God, even amid disorientation, grief, and ecological loss. Preached on the First Sunday after Christmas, this message connects the wonder of the season with honest lament, eco-grief, and the hope of reorientation. With pastoral depth and theological insight, this sermon invites listeners to listen for praise beyond the noise.

Rev. Chris Jimmerson and Rev. Carrie Holley-Hurt's service delivered on December 21, 2025. We join together for this annual tradition of retelling the Christian Faith Story through song and holiday merriment.
Christmas is a magical, busy season of joy and celebration. It's so easy to get caught up in all the festivities and excitement that we don't pause long enough to consider what the Christmas story is actually about. Because if you look closely, the story of Christ's birth challenges our assumptions about power, generosity, status, and what it actually means to reflect the heart of God. The nativity isn't merely a sentimental moment; it is God intentionally choosing the margins, stepping into human vulnerability, and redefining what greatness looks like. And if we let it, that truth forces us to ask harder questions about the way we show up for others, especially the overlooked, the lonely, and the forgotten. The first Christmas wasn't designed around abundance, convenience, or comfort. It unfolded in obscurity, among shepherds no one valued, in a manger no one wanted, to a young woman no one expected. And the people who recognized Jesus first weren't the powerful. They were the poor, the humble, the ones most longing for God to break into their story. Christmas, then, isn't about what we receive; it's about what we can give. How do we let the generosity of God shape the generosity we extend? Beyond celebrating Emmanuel, how do we embody Emmanuel for others? In this episode, I'm joined by Rev. Dr. Emily Gierer, a pastor, educator, and spiritual leader who has spent nearly two decades guiding students, families, and faith communities. Together, we explore why the true meaning of Christmas has far less to do with tradition…and far more to do with transformation. Things You'll Learn In This Episode God's Upside-Down Kingdom God chooses shepherds, not kings, to receive the first announcement of Christ's birth. What does that tell us about the kind of people God notices first? Generosity Was Never Meant to Be Comfortable The incarnation is the ultimate act of sacrificial giving. How does Jesus' costly example redefine the way we think about giving our time, resources, and talents? Why Loneliness Intensifies During Christmas "God with us" is not poetic language; it's God stepping into human fear, abandonment, and suffering. What would it look like to embody that same presence for someone who feels unseen this season? How to Teach Children a Different Kind of Christmas Kids are shaped more by what we model than what we say. How do families train children to value compassion over accumulation in a culture obsessed with getting? About the Guest Rev. Dr. Emily Gierer serves as the co-Lead Pastor of St. Timothy's Church in Storrs, Connecticut, where she guides worship, preaches regularly, disciples students, and develops spiritual formation initiatives. With a Ph.D. from the University of Connecticut, a Master of Divinity from Yale Divinity School, and a Doctor of Ministry from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, Emily has almost two decades of pastoral leadership and campus ministry experience at the University of Connecticut. In addition to her pastoral work, Emily teaches in the English Department at the University of Connecticut, offering courses in American literature, women's literature, and Biblical literature. Together with Dr. Jana Holiday, she will also launch and co-lead Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary's new Doctor of Ministry track, Women in Leadership, beginning in July 2027. Emily and her husband, Vince, live and minister in Connecticut with their two young daughters.

Christmas week can feel like a beautiful blur — full of tradition, emotion, and let's be honest… exhaustion. In this week's episode of The Bubble Lounge, I'm joined by The Rev. Dr. Christopher D. Girata Saint Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church, for a conversation that feels like a deep breath in the middle of it all. We start with Chris's journey — how he was called into ministry and what led him to lead one of the largest Episcopal churches in the country — and then gently move into what Christmas really looks like in real life.This isn't a checklist-Christmas or a perfectly wrapped-up version of the season. It's an honest, thoughtful conversation about faith, leadership, grace, and letting Christmas meet you exactly where you are. If this week feels full, complicated, joyful, heavy — or all of the above — this episode is for you. Listen while you're driving, wrapping gifts, or stealing a quiet moment for yourself.

Today’s Bible Verse: “When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, ‘Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.’” — Luke 2:15 Luke 2:15 captures the moment when faith turns into movement. The shepherds didn’t debate, delay, or demand proof—they responded. After hearing heaven’s announcement, they chose to step toward what God had revealed. Want to listen without ads?

Recover Your Soul: A Spiritual Path to a Happy and Healthy Life
Send one way text to Rev Rachel This week, while I am away, I'm sharing a replay from the Recover Your Soul Bonus Podcast. Together, we explore one of the tender teachings from Al-Anon through the lens of Recover Your Soul, the quiet courage it takes to stop pretending you're fine and to gently return to yourself.Many of us learned to people-please as a way to stay safe. We tried to hold the family together, soften the edges for everyone else, and become whatever version of ourselves we thought was needed in the moment. And over time, that way of living can pull us farther and farther away from our own truth, our own voice, and even our own feelings.In this episode, we reflect on a beautiful reading from In All Our Affairs about “the obligation to be myself.” We look at what it means to slowly release the façade, to feel what you feel without managing the emotions of everyone around you, and to begin discovering who you truly are and not who you learned to be.Through my perspective in Recover Your Soul, we look at • why authenticity is part of spiritual awakening • how people-pleasing keeps us disconnected from our true selves • why detachment creates space for everyone's growth • the difference between being “nice” and being whole • how to honor your feelings without laying them on others • and what it means to walk through your life as the real youIf this conversation resonates with you, I invite you to subscribe on Apple Podcasts or become a member on Patreon, where you receive a new Recover Your Soul Bonus episode every week.

Lee Wolak explores how answering questions with honesty, courage, and timeliness transforms the way we connect with others and ourselves. You'll learn why avoiding or delaying communication creates confusion, how fear blocks authenticity, and how simply saying "I'll get back to you" can be an act of integrity and self-respect.

As St. Paul begins to conclude his second letter to the Thessalonians, he encourages them to pray for the ongoing missionary work that he and his companions are doing. The Lord is faithful, and the apostle knows that the Lord's Word will bear good fruit. In that confidence, he commands the Thessalonians to continue to work diligently to receive their living, just as he had done while among them. This is God's gift, that Christians would work quietly and so receive their daily bread from Him. Rev. Steve Andrews, pastor at St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Lee's Summit, MO, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 2 Thessalonians 3:1-12.

“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor.” Isaiah's words paint a vivid picture of the Messiah's mission: proclaiming liberty to captives, opening the prison to those who are bound, and announcing the year of the LORD's favor. In part 11 of our special 12-part series connecting Old Testament prophecy to New Testament fulfillment, we explore the Servant who clothes His people with garments of salvation and robes of righteousness. These words will one day be read from a synagogue scroll in Nazareth as Jesus declares that this Scripture is fulfilled in their hearing. The Rev. Dan Eddy, pastor of Messiah Lutheran Church in Beloit, WI, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Isaiah 61:1–11. To learn more about Messiah Lutheran, visit mlcbeloit.com.

For part 7 of 12 on “What is the Nicene Creed?” we unpack these lines:For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buriedOn the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures;One of the wild things about the Creed is we go right from Jesus' birth, via Mary, to his death, at the hands of Pontius Pilate. And yet, even wilder still, is that our God in Christ suffered death. The crucifixion – a death used by the Roman Empire to terrify and suppress enslaved people who rebelled – and the resurrection – are at the epicenter of Christian faith. What does it mean that Jesus died this way? What does it mean that on the third day, he rose? We are delighted and amazed to welcome to the podcast the inimitable Rev. Dr. Canon Kelly Brown Douglas, whose enormous work as priest, preacher, teacher, and writer, has long explored these questions.More about our guest: The Rev.

At Live Free Illinois, the nonprofit she founded, Rev. Ciera Bates-Chamberlain advances a critical mission: ending gun violence and mass incarceration by employing a powerful trifecta of strategies: education, organizing and advocacy. It starts with mobilizing a network of over 130 congregations across the state to advocate for public safety and law enforcement accountability. And it requires standing up to recent federal threats, from the cutting of SNAP benefits to the militarization of law enforcement. Live Free Illinois partners with congregations to provide organizer training and to educate members about Project 2025, the blueprint behind our national leadership's assault on Black and Brown communities. And as Rev. Ciera explains in this episode of Power Station, she always expects to win. Take the Clean Slate Initiative, a statewide campaign calling for the automatic sealing of arrest and conviction records for eligible Illinoisians. It united faith leaders, community organizations and allies in fighting for the removal of systemic barriers that burden those most impacted by generational racism and poverty. And It became law in October 2025! Rev. Ciera proves that a moral compass, owning your power and showing up for others makes change possible.

The message was delivered on Sunday, December 21, 2025, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister Description: What happens when you've been walking through the valley of shadow for so long that you can only see far enough to place one foot in front of the other? On the darkest day of the year, discover why ancient peoples understood darkness not as emptiness, but as the fertile dark—a womb leading to new life, where all beginnings take root before emerging into light. When an 85-year-old widower faced an agonizing medical decision, something extraordinary happened in his living room that changed everything about how he understood his life's value. Can the natural cycles spinning around us—the earth, the atoms, even the very particles of existence—teach us that no descent is permanent, and that hope returns as surely as tomorrow's sunrise?
