Gospel Lesson: Matthew 16:13-20
At last, a few showers. They've never been more welcome in this strange, uncomfortable, record-breaking summer. Day after day of sunshine, held fitfully at bay by air conditioning on overtime, cooling drinks, and the drawn curtains which to an earlier generation would have signalled a community in mourning. Today they might be reminding us of lost gardens, parched lawns, and blazing hillsides, threatening some homes directly, and sending a choking warning over great distances. At the same time, the heat has taken a grim toll among people seeking to cool off in rivers, lakes and at the seaside - this week a couple and their 14-year-old daughter in the sea off Shoreham, in Sussex. Understandably there's been a huge outpouring of sympathy. The emergency response included coastguards, lifeboat and ambulance services and police, and I think it's good to pause occasionally to honour men and women who give themselves to rescue services of all kinds. Leading the battle against the wildfires across the country, of course, have been firefighters. We marvel at their willingness to get up close, putting their own lives in jeopardy. How they must sweat before those flames, wearing their heavy protective gear, as conscious of the risk they're taking as the volunteers crewing a lifeboat in a stormy sea. And how their families must share the anxiety. I believe the would-be rescuers reflect something of the character of a God who is also in the business of rescue – often getting people out of scrapes of their own making. It was while we were still helpless, powerless, says St.Paul, that Jesus Christ died for us. There's regular debate about how we should treat people in difficulties because of what they've consumed, knowing it could harm them. Within the rescue services, I suspect there's occasional irritation, anger maybe, at those who put themselves at risk needlessly…sailing the channel in bathtubs, attempting to scale serious peaks wearing flip flops. But those who've trained for this mission still do it, because they might be the only hope. On a glorious sunny day sixty years ago, I ventured into the sea from a popular beach in Jersey, with big waves and wonderful surf. Hardly a swimmer at all, I was soon in trouble. Currents I knew nothing of sucked me under, and no matter how I fought, I was helpless. I really thought I would drown….before I was fished out by a team of lifesavers, feeling shaken, foolish and very grateful, one of a dozen rescued that day. It's not how I usually put it, but I understand why some people finding faith in Jesus talk of being saved. I've been rescued, and I'm glad today's rescue services remind me.

When people have told Bernie Miller something can't be done, his answer has always been the same: "I think it can." In this episode, Bernie shares how an early lesson in humility stuck with him for the rest of his life, how co-writing the soul classic "I Can't Stand the Rain" opened doors to working with artists like Michael Jackson, and how a radio job he didn't necessarily want led him to Chattanooga (and eventually the pulpit).

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off Tuesday with breakfast chat, Meg’s porridge, and Dan waking up deaf in one ear while the team crowdsources home remedies. Dan attempts “The Reverend,” guessing a caller’s car from the rev and narrowing it to a Mitsubishi Lancer. They debate whether a goose is a medium or large bird and call Meg’s mum about getting an octopus stuck on her. Producer Brady chickens out of a gym “what song are you listening to?” bit. Easy Money stumps two callers. The Imposter game continues with a Christmas-morning helicopter/SWAT story. They cover Hayden Panettiere’s death and postpartum struggles, share worst ghosting stories, rank Andy Samberg, Robert Downey Jr., and Kate Winslet, and set a $1,000 fire-with-two-sticks challenge for Clint. 01:36 Breakup Odds Debate 04:02 The Reverend Car Game 10:02 Scandal 11:40 Goose Size 15:16 Meg’s Mum Octopus Story 18:13 Producer Brady Chickens Out 21:38 Easy Money Letter S 24:42 Imposters Lucy Interview 29:18 Imposters Jury Debate 33:02 Hayden Panettiere Tribute 37:54 Ghosted Before Wedding 40:12 Friendship Ghosting Stories 46:59 AI Chatbot Cheating 49:07 Citizens Arrest Roleplay 21:33 Easy Money Challenge 53:50 A Lister 01:01:56 Flint Randell 01:06:56 Bridezilla Crocs Drama 01:11:18 Weird Wedding Requests Need Support?

The Reverend is back with deeper music pockets than ever. Another fantastic trip travelling through soundscapes and beats from the far corners of human creativity. Chill as the set may be, this is no time sit back, these are collectible grooves at their finest. From the deep swath of emotional synth sounds as pads to the strong balearic beats these tracks prove that great music stands the test of time. We love that!
Gospel Lesson: John 15:9-17
Psalm 44 1 O God, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us, what deeds you performed in their days, in the days of old: 2 you with your own hand drove out the nations, but them you planted; you afflicted the peoples, but them you set free; 3 for not by their own sword did they win the land, nor did their own arm save them, but your right hand and your arm, and the light of your face, for you delighted in them. 4 You are my King, O God; ordain salvation for Jacob! 5 Through you we push down our foes; through your name we tread down those who rise up against us. 6 For not in my bow do I trust, nor can my sword save me. 7 But you have saved us from our foes and have put to shame those who hate us. 8 In God we have boasted continually, and we will give thanks to your name forever. Selah 9 But you have rejected us and disgraced us and have not gone out with our armies. 10 You have made us turn back from the foe, and those who hate us have gotten spoil. 11 You have made us like sheep for slaughter and have scattered us among the nations. 12 You have sold your people for a trifle, demanding no high price for them. 13 You have made us the taunt of our neighbors, the derision and scorn of those around us. 14 You have made us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock[b] among the peoples. 15 All day long my disgrace is before me, and shame has covered my face 16 at the sound of the taunter and reviler, at the sight of the enemy and the avenger. 17 All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten you, and we have not been false to your covenant. 18 Our heart has not turned back, nor have our steps departed from your way; 19 yet you have broken us in the place of jackals and covered us with the shadow of death. 20 If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god, 21 would not God discover this? For he knows the secrets of the heart. 22 Yet for your sake we are killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered. 23 Awake! Why are you sleeping, O Lord? Rouse yourself! Do not reject us forever! 24 Why do you hide your face? Why do you forget our affliction and oppression? 25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust; our belly clings to the ground. 26 Rise up; come to our help! Redeem us for the sake of your steadfast love!

Tap here to send us a message!Prayer becomes a covering over the life of a believer, creating a place where burdens can be poured out, faith can be strengthened, and the heart can find refuge in God. Hannah's persistence shows the power of remaining in prayer even when the weight of the situation is heavy and the answer has not yet come. A life covered in prayer is a life that learns to trust God through the burden, persevere through the waiting, and walk away with renewed peace.08/09/26 - Sunday Afternoon Scriptures: 1 Samuel 1:12-17

Rev Chris joins the team on this episode of the IN MY OPINION PODCAST to talk about wild cultural traditions, faith, and real-life dilemmas. The guys start off with Rev Chris sharing a crazy story from his time in Tanzania, where a groom had to identify his bride just by looking at her feet under a big sheet, and pay a financial penalty every time he guessed wrong! From there, they talk about prayer etiquette, asking whether you need to close your eyes to pray, where folding hands comes from, and whether praying for your sports team to win means praying for someone else to lose.After a quick competitive Bible trivia quiz, they address a listener dilemma about whether a traditional Yoruba wedding is recognized by God or if you need a church wedding to avoid living in sin. Rev Chris breaks down faith, judgment, and how culture fits into modern relationships.

Scripture: Genesis 3:1-3
The Tenth Sunday after PentecostWhat does it mean to leave home, and can we carry a sense of home with us wherever the journey leads? On his final Sunday as Associate Rector of St. Mark's, Fr. John reflects on the places and people that shape us, the deeper journey toward our truest selves, and the grace that sustains us along the way. In a deeply personal farewell sermon, Fr. John considers what it means to venture forth while discovering that the journey away from home may also be a journey more deeply toward it.

Scripture Reading: Micah 6:6-8
George Exoo wasn't a killer, but he found a certain satisfaction in the deaths he witnessed. As a right-to-die activist, he offered his services to those wanting to end their lives at home, despite deep opposition from both within and outside the movement. George ignored criticism, insisting he was called to help people end their suffering, even without a terminal diagnosis. In the end, he facilitated over 100 premature deaths, proclaiming to be a midwife to the dying.RO - https://www.ro.co/lightsoutUS: Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (988) & Crisis Text Line - text HOME to 741741Canada: Suicide Crisis Helpline (988)UK: Samaritans (116-123)Reverend Death Documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5v4wr713t4Follow & Subscribe To The Show!Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3SfSNbkVrfz3ceXmNr0lZ4Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lights-out/id1505843600Social Links:TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lightsoutcastTwitter: http://twitter.com/lightsoutcastInstagram: http://instagram.com/lightsoutcastSuggestions/Comments: lop@milehigher.comMerch: http://milehighermerch.com/Request A Topic Form: https://zfrmz.com/Sp6vsxGQrNoHUfDzvGnNPodcast sponsor inquiries: adops@audioboom.comHost: JoshTwitter: http://twitter.com/milehigherjoshInstagram: http://instagram.com/milehigherjoshCo-Host: IanInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ifarme/Editor/Producer: DanielInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/horrororeoSources: https://pastebin.com/tRbU5YS6
In 1912, an axe killed all eight people sleeping in a Villisca, Iowa farmhouse, and the two men suspected of it — a traveling preacher and a business rival — both walked free.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/VilliscaReverendRivalREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p84usw4FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Conspiracy theories, while often dark, can also be kind of humorous due to being so outlandishly unbelievable. For example… is the Earth's moon artificial, and actually an extraterrestrial spaceship? We'll look at the strange theory. (Could Our Moon Be An Alien Spaceship?) *** In 1912 one of the most brutal slayings in America took place in the small town of Villisca, Iowa… a murder so brutal that numerous documentaries have been made about it, books have been written, and amateur detectives have poured over the facts and suspects still trying to find out who the murderer was that swung the bloody axe. (The Unsolved Villisca Ax Murders) *** The President of the United States, no matter who is in the position at the time, is always in danger from those who would like to see someone else in office. We'll hear on the news of the assassination attempts that came close, but we more often than not are completely unaware of the attempts and plans that have been thwarted – and some of those attempts to kill a sitting U.S. President have been extremely bizarre. (Bizarre Assassination Attempts on U.S. Presidents) *** Some Biblical accounts seem unbelievable and we tend to dismiss them as fantasies, or dreams of the person writing the events down. But what if some of the strange creatures described in the bible are actually real – but come from another dimension, or even outer space? (Are Extraterrestrials in the Bible?) *** If you are told there is a city that has been built specifically for the dead, you probably think of some ancient culture that worshipped their ancestors. Personally, I think of pyramids in Egypt… but I never would've thought of the suburbs in California, USA.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: January, 2022This episode of Weird Darkness runs from a Cold War theory that the Moon is a hollow alien spacecraft, through the 1912 Villisca ax murders that left eight people dead in a single Iowa night, into the California cemetery city of Colma where the dead outnumber the living a thousand to one, on to a former NASA engineer's claim that the prophet Ezekiel witnessed a UFO, and closing with some of the strangest attempts ever made on the lives of sitting U.S. presidents.It opens with the Spaceship Moon Theory, proposed in July of 1970 by Soviet Academy of Sciences members Michael Vasin and Alexander Shcherbakov, who argued the Moon is a hollowed-out planetoid engineered by unknown beings and steered into Earth's orbit. Darren walks through the claims stacked behind the idea — the Moon ringing like a bell for more than an hour after the Apollo 12 crew crashed their lunar module into it on November 20th, 1969, craters of wildly different widths that all share the same shallow depth, moon rocks dated older than the Earth itself, and the near-perfect circular orbit that lets the Moon exactly cover the Sun during an eclipse.From there the episode turns to Villisca, Iowa, and the night of June 9th, 1912, when someone entered the home of Josiah and Sarah Moore and killed all six members of the family along with two young house guests, Lena and Ina Stillinger, striking each victim with an axe as they slept. Darren lays out the crime scene that neighbor Mary Peckham and Josiah's brother Ross discovered the next morning — cloth draped over the mirrors, two cigarette butts in the attic, a slab of bacon left beside the Stillinger girls, and a bloody basin in the kitchen — and the suspects who never brought closure, from traveling minister Reverend George Kelly, who spoke of eight dead bodies before the news broke and later gave a confession the court dismissed, to Josiah's embittered business rival Frank Jones. More than a century on, the boarded-up house survives as a museum where investigators report a heaviness on the stairs, drifting fog, and the sound of dripping blood after the 2 a.m. train whistle.Next the show travels to Colma, California, the suburb built for the dead, where roughly 1,600 living residents share the ground with more than 1.5 million graves across 17 cemeteries. Darren traces how San Francisco banned burials in 1900 and evicted its dead, triggering the largest grave relocation in history after the 1906 earthquake, with more than 150,000 bodies hauled south and tens of thousands reburied in mass graves when families wouldn't pay the ten-dollar transfer fee. He points out the famous names resting there — Wyatt Earp, Levi Strauss, William Randolph Hearst, Joe DiMaggio, brain-injury case Phineas Gage, and self-declared Emperor of the United States Joshua Norton — alongside the darker footnotes of looted skeletons, discarded headstones repurposed as gutters and seawalls, and the town's own gallows-humor slogan, "it's great to be alive in Colma."The episode then examines whether extraterrestrials appear in the Bible, centering on the vision of the prophet Ezekiel by the river Chebar and the four winged creatures with human hands, calf-shaped feet, and four faces that rose out of a fiery whirlwind. Darren details how former NASA chief engineer Joseph F. Blumrich, honored in 1972 for his work on the Saturn and Apollo programs, set out to disprove Erich von Däniken's ancient-astronaut claims and instead became convinced, arguing in his book The Spaceships of Ezekiel that the prophet had described a landing spacecraft — rotor blades, fairing housings, landing legs with round footpads, and remote mechanical arms rendered in the only words an ancient man had for them.The episode closes with a run of bizarre presidential assassination attempts, from John Hinckley's 1981 shooting of Ronald Reagan over an obsession with actress Jodie Foster, to the 2013 ricin letters mailed to the Obama White House by a man framing an Elvis impersonator over an online feud, to truck driver Samuel Byck's 1974 plot to hijack a DC-9 and crash it into the White House to kill Richard Nixon. Darren ends on the two women who tried to kill Gerald Ford seventeen days apart in September of 1974 — Manson follower Lynette Fromme, who never chambered a round, and Sarah Jane Moore, whose shot missed by six inches because her replacement revolver's sights were misaligned.
