For Episode 508 of the Next Best Picture Podcast, I am joined by Amy Kim & Dan Bayer. We are back from the Venice/Telluride/TIFF film festivals, and we have a lot to unpack regarding the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), from the films we saw there to the recently announced award winners. We also deliver a preview of the New York Film Festival (NYFF), which has had press screenings over the past couple of days but officially kicks off this week with the North American premiere of "Paper Tiger." For this week's NBP poll question, we're asking everyone, "Which Films Are You Most Looking Forward To From The New York Film Festival (NYFF)?" And we reveal the winner of last week's NBP poll, where we asked everyone, "Which Films Are You Most Looking Forward To Seeing From The 2026 Telluride Film Festival?" We also share our reactions to the trailers for "You Can See Everything," "Artificial," "Love Of Your Life," "Remain," "Tenzing," "The Mosquito Bowl," and "Sacrifice." We are still answering your fan-submitted questions, but we'll now release our answers separately the next day in a new show called Mailbag Monday. So stay tuned for that and many other updates from Next Best Picture as this year's awards season continues. Thank you all for listening, subscribing, and supporting us.

Genesis 22:1-17Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied.2 Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.”3 Early the next morning Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. 4 On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance6 Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. As the two of them went on together, 7 Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, “Father?”“Yes, my son?” Abraham replied. “The fire and wood are here,” Isaac said, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”8 Abraham answered, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two of them went on together. 9 When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. 10 Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. 11 But the angel of the Lord called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied.12 “Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.”13 Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son. 14 So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide.

What happens to faith when a nation gets comfortable? Bill and Travis sit down with Mark Oxer, author of This Is the Way, who moved his family to the Netherlands and discovered a hard truth: comfort doesn't strengthen faith — it drifts it. In this episode, Mark unpacks the difference between builders, maintainers, and squanderers, why every generation is one decision away from losing what the last one fought for, and why a father's faith is the single biggest predictor of whether his kids stay in the church. This one will challenge you to stop coasting and start building — in your home, your community, and wherever God has planted you. Wake Up. Gear Up. Come Alive.

Most Christians are familiar with the use of salt as a picture for many things in the life of disciple, but it can also be used to draw some very valuable lessons about the sacrifice of Jesus Christ at Calvary. Did you know that salt was involved in the sacrifices in the Old Testament and that there was something in those days called a "covenant of salt"? Brian Johnston explains the meaning of both of these things in this short series under the following headings: 1. The Value of Christ's Sacrifice 2. Something Long-lasting 3. No Going Back On His Word 4. What a (Sweet) Savour!

9.13.2026 Are you living out God's instructions simply because it's the right thing to do? Are you trying to earn his favor through your sacrifices? You may want to examine your heart as your sacrifices may actually be displeasing to God. God desires our obedience more than sacrifices that are done with selfish motives. Obedience to God is an expression of our love. We do not obey out of fear or to gain something from God. Obedience should be our natural response to His love for us. Executive Pastor Meera Shorts uses biblical examples to teach why it is important for us to live with a heart of obedience to God's instructions.

What does the sacrifice of a father actually look like? In this episode of The John Grdina Classroom, John shares the story of spending an entire summer rebuilding the attic of his 1913 home, down to the studs, alongside his almost seventy year old father, his wife, and his son Benny, so that his daughter could finally have a quiet space of her own to study.Anchored in Psalm 33:11, "the counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of his heart to all generations," and carried into the ordinary rooms of the house by Deuteronomy 6:6-7, this conversation digs into the difference between sacrifice that builds a legacy and sacrifice that quietly sends a bill. John unpacks why real fatherhood is a chain of custody, handed forward from one generation to the next through sweat rather than speeches, and why the men who get credit are often the men who get bitter.If you are a father, a husband, or a man in the ugly middle of rebuilding something down to the bones, this episode of the life faith podcast will give you language for what you are already carrying. This is self-improvement and personal transformation the way it actually happens: in your house, on an ordinary Tuesday.In this episode:Why sacrifice that expects repayment is a transaction, not a giftWhat Psalm 33:11 teaches about building for generations who cannot thank youHow Deuteronomy 6:6-7 places discipleship in the ordinary rooms of your homeThe one question that reveals whether you are building or negotiatingWhy what your children watch you do outweighs what you tell themA podcast to strengthen your faith, family, fitness, and finances.Chapters00:00 Introduction and setting the scene in the attic02:50 The true meaning of sacrifice and giving03:49 Biblical perspective on legacy and God's plans04:48 The pattern of passing down values across generations05:44 The importance of actions over words in shaping character07:10 The inheritance of actions and love, not material things08:37 Encouragement to build in your own life for future generations09:12 The motivation of love and service over recognition10:22 A prayer for strength and legacy11:22 Closing thoughts and blessing for ongoing buildingListen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-john-grdina-classroom/id1596314353Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3MB897IcrtEke2alZHdP3pSubscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheJohnGrdinaClassroomConnect with MeEmail: grdinajohn@gmail.comWebsite: johngrdina.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jgrdina_coach/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/john.grdina.1#SelfImprovementPodcast #PersonalTransformation #LifeFaithPodcast #FaithAndFamilyPodcast #ChristianParentingPodcast #FatherhoodPodcast #CatholicMen #MenOfFaith #4FFramework #JohnGrdina #FreedomToAscend #ChristianMenPodcast #FaithFamilyFitnessFinance #MilesFidelis

What does it really take to build a championship program?Coach Emund Prichett joins the JAMODI Podcast to share the journey of building Mansfield Summit basketball—from going 1–14 in district during his first season to developing a program capable of competing for championships.Coach Prichett opens up about the difficult early years, the mistakes that helped him grow as a coach and person, and the decision to stop focusing on expectations and start focusing on getting better every single day.The conversation goes far beyond wins and losses. Coach Prichett discusses building relationships before demanding results, creating a culture players believe in, holding athletes accountable without losing connection, handling transfers, developing players in the spring, allowing teams to develop their own personality, and creating an environment where sacrifice matters more than individual statistics.He also shares a powerful philosophy on playing time: every player is needed for all 32 minutes—whether they are on the floor or contributing energy, focus, and support from the bench.In this episode:
Read OnlineExalting the Crucified MessiahJesus said to Nicodemus: “No one has gone up to heaven except the one who has come down from heaven, the Son of Man. And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.” John 3:13–15Today, as we celebrate the great Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, we are invited to ponder Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus, “a ruler of the Jews” (John 3:1). Nicodemus was one of the few Pharisees who believed in Jesus. In many Eastern Churches, he is honored as a saint.Nicodemus approached Jesus early in His public ministry. By that time, Jesus had called some of His Apostles, performed His first sign at the wedding in Cana, and traveled to Jerusalem for Passover, where He cleansed the Temple, declaring, “Take these out of here, and stop making my Father's house a marketplace” (John 2:16). This was the first major public confrontation between Jesus and the religious leaders, many of whom were scandalized. Nicodemus, however, was moved by grace and came to Jesus secretly by night, saying, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God…” (John 3:2). Today's Gospel is drawn from that quiet exchange.As their conversation unfolds, Jesus turns Nicodemus' attention to a mysterious episode from Israel's history, one Nicodemus would have known well. When the Israelites sinned by speaking against God and Moses, the Lord sent serpents among them. Many of the people died. But when the people repented, God instructed Moses to mount a bronze serpent on a pole; those who looked upon it in faith were healed. Jesus reveals that this ancient sign prefigured something far greater: “Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up.”This “lifting up” lies at the heart of today's feast. The Exaltation of the Holy Cross is more than a remembrance of Christ's suffering, it is a celebration of His victory. The Cross, once an instrument of Roman execution, has become the Tree of Life. Through His self-offering, Jesus conquered sin and death, transforming a curse into a blessing.Return to Nicodemus. Having witnessed the miracle at Cana, the cleansing of the Temple, and Jesus' powerful teaching, he was clearly stirred, yet still fearful, which is why he came at night. Imagine him hearing Jesus refer to Moses and the bronze serpent, and then saying, “So must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.”The title “Son of Man” comes from the Book of Daniel (7:13–14), in which the prophet sees the “one like a son of man” coming on the clouds of heaven to receive everlasting dominion. Jesus used this title frequently to describe Himself, linking His earthly mission with divine authority.In His encounter with Nicodemus, Jesus veils the deeper meaning. His being “lifted up” refers not to earthly power, but to His Crucifixion. Nicodemus likely didn't grasp this at the time. He may have assumed Jesus was foretelling a messianic rise to political rule, overthrowing Roman oppression. Only after the Crucifixion and Resurrection would Nicodemus—and the other disciples—begin to understand the true nature of this first revelation that the lifting up of the Son of Man was the lifting of the Cross, the source of healing, life, and eternal glory.Today, we are invited to exalt Christ's Cross in our own souls. The paradox of the Cross—that such brutal torture and death brings life—is our glory. Because of Jesus' Cross and the saving power that flowed from it, every suffering we endure, every cross we carry, and every injustice we suffer has the potential to share in the Exultation of the Holy Cross if we allow ourselves to be lifted up with Him, in confidence and rejoicing. Reflect today on the mystery Jesus first revealed in secret. Through His exaltation on the Cross, He brings salvation to all who believe, also enabling our crosses to share in His triumph. Gaze upon the Cross with faith. What once symbolized death has become our hope, our healing, and our path to eternal life.Most highly exalted Lord, though You spoke in veiled language when revealing Your “lifting up” to Nicodemus, You later spoke clearly as You offered Your life on the Cross for the salvation of the world. I pray that You and Your perfect Sacrifice may always be exalted in my heart—first through gratitude and praise, and then through imitation. Lift me up in every cross I carry, so that You may continue to be exalted through my life for the world to see.Image: The Finding of the Holy Cross, by Nicola Maria RossiSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life!

Cornerstone Community Church, Lynchburg VA
In this sacrament Christ is not offered up to his Father, nor any real sacrifice made at all for remission of sins of the quick or dead, but only a commemoration of that one offering up of himself, by himself, upon the cross, once for all, and a spiritual oblation of all possible praise unto God for the same; so that the Popish sacrifice of the mass, as they call it, is most abominably injurious to Christ's one only sacrifice, the alone propitiation for all the sins of the elect.

The Peter Boyles Show - September 12, 2026 HR 2: Peter Boyles talks with MC-1 Foundation president Mark Miller about the 13th annual MC-1 Honor Run, the event’s history following the line-of-duty death of motorcycle officer Dave Baldwin, and this year’s effort to support Aurora canine officer Mark Moore, who was seriously injured in the line of duty. Miller explains the Honor Run ceremony at Columbine High School, the motorcycle ride to Thornton, and how listeners can support the event. The hour then returns to the 25th anniversary of 9/11, with Peter discussing newly released intelligence, the warnings surrounding the attacks, the Saudi connections to the hijackers, Osama bin Laden’s stated motives, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and what Peter sees as the Bush administration’s misleading claims about Iraq and weapons of mass destruction. Callers challenge and debate his focus on Saudi Arabia and government accountability, leading to a heated discussion about who supported the hijackers, what America learned from 9/11, and why the unity Americans felt after the attacks disappeared.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Are you truly using your time and talents for God? In this devotion from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens from Romans 12:1 and Hebrews 13:15-16 (KJV) to challenge every believer to examine how they are living as God's ambassador — and what sacrifices they are actually making for His glory.You might be asking: Why does doing the right thing cost so much? What does it really mean to offer a sacrifice of praise? Am I giving God enough of my time? How do I know if my talents are being used for Him?Key points from this devotion:- A living sacrifice means giving up what you could keep for a greater cause- Doing the right thing is often unpopular, but God calls us to do it anyway- Praise is an act of worship, but only when it comes from a heart that truly belongs to God- Communicating to the needs of others is itself a sacrifice that pleases God- Time and talent are gifts from God — He deserves them backIf this devotion spoke to your heart, please like, leave a comment, share it with someone who needs it, and subscribe so you never miss a word.#WordsFromTheWord #KJV #BibleDevotion #ChristianLiving #GoodNewsBaptistChurchStay connected with GNBC:
This one airs on the 25th anniversary of September 11th. I'm not dedicating the whole episode to it. I don't tell people how to think or how to feel. But I do open with where I land on it now, a quarter century later, and why the reverence fading for people who didn't live it doesn't surprise me anymore. Then the questions. A 27-year-old learns through a DNA test that the man on his birth certificate isn't his father. He wants to know whether to tell the rest of the family. A guy who has run audio at his church for 21 years wants to know how to finally ask to be paid without turning it into an ultimatum. A future Naval Academy midshipman asks what a SEAL officer actually does on target, and whether the enlisted guys respect him. Also covered: why we round the edges off pain as a species, what constant exposure to war footage does to a person, and why describing your own military service as vanilla needs to stop.

Thom's Nutshell: "Self-denial results in dependence. Self-acceptance creates independence." Waking up is a process, not an event. A road back to our true lost selves. Daniel Fulop-Furlano joins Allen to talk about his journey towards emotional sobriety, which began with the “Divided Sky” rehab retreat in Ludlow, Vermont. Dan's book, “Sincerely, Delusional,” is a testament to both the sincerity of his delusion (which we also call “sleepwalking”), and the capacity, beginning with an earnest asking for help, that he's built brick by brick as a person courageously exposing and addressing his deep set dependencies.

Wednesday evening message from Pastor Jonathan Barber. September 2, 2026
Gary concludes his interview with Pastor Greg Chacon by dealing with questions about Israel. Dispensationalism has given most Christians an unhealthy allegiance to Israel and the belief that they must support whatever it decides politically. Eschatology has consequences, and good intentions can be used to promote evil agendas. Modern prophecy advocates are trying to rebuild the first century with a rebuilt "Roman empire" and a third temple in Jerusalem.
Sermon from the pulpit of Falls Baptist Church
Have you ever done everything "right" — followed the rules, hit your goals, kept the peace — and still felt off in your body? In this episode, I'm breaking down the "good girl myth": five deeply conditioned patterns (rules, perfection, logic, harmony, and sacrifice) that many of us follow believing they'll earn us love and approval — and how they actually override our intuition and show up as real, physical symptoms.This one's inspired by Majo Molfino's book Break the Good Girl Myth, and I'm giving it my own spin through the lens of health, the body, and the nervous system. Book LinkI also get personal about my own good-girl conditioning as a first-generation American with Syrian roots, and how it quietly shaped everything from how I ate to who I let myself love.In this episode, we cover:What the "good girl myth" is and where it comes fromWhy rules, perfection, logic, harmony, and sacrifice can start out as beautiful values — and end up as a bottleneck to your growthThe five myths, broken down through a health and body lens:Rules — why meal plans and "shoulds" work for a while, then stop workingPerfection — the intention-behavior gap, orthorexia, and why "if it's not perfect I don't do it at all" isn't a discipline problemLogic — how overriding hunger and fullness cues to perform shows up as vertigo, digestive issues, and acneHarmony — people-pleasing your way out of your own needs (and why "standing on business" with boundaries matters)Sacrifice — putting yourself last, and what that does to your hormones, cravings, and energyMy personal story: growing up first-generation American with Syrian parents, my rebellious period, and what I learned (the hard way) about unconditional self-loveWhy every strong, high-achieving woman is still allowed to be held, be messy, and have shadowsPractical, small ways to start rebuilding trust with your intuition — starting today Free 30 minute consultation with ShanonClick here to schedule4-Day mind-body reset designed to change your relationship with food:Click Here for Our Food Freedom ResetAre you ready to heal your relationship with your body and soul?
