The Horror Short Film Director Roundtable is one of the most important things that we did at the Portland Horror Film Festival. It provided an elevated platform for horror short filmmakers. Oftentimes, this is ground zero for original horror ideas. Unless you are a Hollywood nepo-director, short film creation is where you learn your chops. I wanted to give these creatives an opportunity to share their experiences in making movies, both good and bad, so that we can all learn a little more about the craft. Life as a short filmmaker can be an experience in the shadows. Your films are rarely seen outside of film festivals, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. This is where most creative minds hone their crafts. Take a simple concept and do it well. Do you have something scary or funny to tell? Is there an idea that has been lurking in the back of your brain that you have to give life to? A short film will give you the opportunity to learn production, editing, budgeting, and team management. It also places you in a community of people who are open to sharing their work with one another. That’s where the round table fits in. After our discussion, I told the group that, even though I wanted this discussion to be a forum for them to share their wins and losses with each other, I selfishly set up this talk so I could learn more about horror moviemaking. Nine years in on being a small horror press journalist, and I still feel like I am only scratching the surface about what a director has to do. Just how do you do it? These discussions give me more talking points and access to better questions to ask. The Portland Horror Film Festival is one of the best curated horror film festivals in the country. Not only do Gwen and Brian Callahan select some of the best horror short films for their festivals, but they also provide opportunities for short film alumni to showcase their feature films. One of the questions I asked in our roundtable discussion was, “How many of you are looking to be feature film directors?” All of them raised their hands (with the exception of Patrick Hogan, who has already directed a feature film). For these directors, here is some encouraging data. This year alone had FIVE directors who previously presented short films at either PHFF or the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival and later had their feature films shown at these festivals. Here are the PHFF Alumni filmmakers who presented a short film and then a feature: Anthony Cousins: Short Films – “The Bloody Ballad of Squirt Reynolds” and “Every Time We Meet for Ice Cream Your Whole Fucking Face Explodes” to Feature Films – Frogman (2023) and Frogman Returns (2026) Jeff Ferrell: Short Film – “Morella” to Feature Film – The Demonatrix (2026) Levi Buchannan: Short Film – “We Said Forever” to Feature Film Sitra Achra (2026) Krsy Fox: Short Film – “What the Spell” to Feature Film – Big Baby (2026) Masaki Nishiyama: Short Film “Smahorror” to Feature Film “The Invisible Half” (2026) Zack Ogle: Short Film “We Got a Monkey’s Paw” to Feature Film – It Needs Eyes (2025) Craig Ouellette: “Str$p” to Feature Film – Straight on Til Morning (2025) Andrew Bowser: Short Film – “Little Willy” to Feature Film – Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Evil (2022) Izzy Lee: “My Monster”, “Dark Signals”, “Rehomed” to Feature Film – House of Ashes (2024) Kenichi Ugana: Short Film – “Visitors” to Feature Film – Love Will Tear Us Apart (2023) Alice Maio Mackay: Short Film – “The Serpent’s Skin” to Feature Film T-Blockers (2023) Matthew John Lawrence: Short Film “Larry Gone Demon” to Feature Film – Uncle Peckerhead (2020) Justin Harding: Short Film “Kookie” to Feature Film – Making Monsters (2019) The PHFF Horror Short Film Director Roundtable Recording: Here is the roundtable discussion. It’s all about the lessons learned. The good, the bad, and the ridiculous. My past experience doing these round tables sometimes put the filmmakers on the spot, and I didn’t want this to be a “stump the directors” exercise. I prepared them with the following questions: Apart from financing, what was the biggest challenge in making your movie? What was the most interesting thing you learned while making this film? How many of you are filmmakers as a second career? What remains a mystery to you as a filmmaker that you think might be answered by one of your peers in this discussion? What piece of advice do you have for your fellow directors? This group really got into the discussion, and had the festival not started up, we could have gone on for quite a while longer. I had a great time, and I believe they did as well. The Horror Short Film Director Roundtable Films: Blindsided Directed by P. Patrick HoganStarring Crystal LoverroPortland Horror Film Festival: Winner of the Devil’s Discord (Best Sound Design) A blind schoolteacher struggles to survive through a nightmarish night when an alien spaceship crashes and unleashes a monstrous predator. This unique horror short film features an all-low-vision cast and places the audience in the POV of a blind protagonist who is only able to hear what happens around her. Director Statements: “Blindsided is a riveting short horror film that takes a unique narrative approach, providing audiences with an immersive glimpse into the harrowing experience of Maria, a blind woman confronting the most terrifying ordeal of her life. The horror remains unseen, both to her and the audience, heightening the suspense and reminding us that sometimes, the most terrifying things are the ones we don’t see coming… This is an innovative short film that ventures into uncharted territory within the horror genre. The narrative unfolds in a tranquil neighborhood, abruptly disrupted by a crashing alien spacecraft and the horrifying monster it unleashes into the night. However, what sets this film apart is the unique perspective from which the story is told – the POV of Maria, a blind schoolteacher living alone. Maria’s desperate struggle to evade the otherworldly predator, guided solely by what she hears, will provide an experience unlike any other horror short. Additionally, to promote diversity and inclusivity, in conjunction with our Disability Authenticity Consultant Vanni Le and Casting Director Danielle Pretsfelder Demchick, all the characters in the film are played by low-vision actors, placing the spotlight on the often-overlooked talent within the low-vision community. We are very proud of Blindsided and look forward to enjoying it in theaters with an audience who doesn’t know what they are about to experience.” Scullion Written and Directed by Trevor GracianoStarring: Whitney Garner as “Samantha”, Cody Parr as “Greg”, and Jim Close as “The Maid” A playful couple test their household chore habits and unknowingly summon a vengeful presence. Director Statements: “We all carry habits inherited from our parents into adulthood. I grew up in a religious household where some of those habits were helpful, but many were not—and they've lingered in ways I don't welcome. Some habits fade with time, while others remain, quietly shaping us in the background. This film explores the struggle to break free from those ingrained patterns, and the imaginative consequences of what happens when they refuse to let go. *It's really just about how to load the communal dishwasher correctly.” Worst Thing You’ve Ever Done Directed by PJ GermainWritten by Autumn Palen and PJ GermainStarring: Brady Gentry, Benjamin Nowak, Bix Krieger, Charlie N. Townsend, Cailyn Rice, Ethan Ahn, Emma Smith Watts, and Erin Rae Kykendall HIGH SCHOOL REALLY SUCKS… and no one knows that better than best friends Aaron and Keith. So when they set out to crash the last graduation party of the summer, emotions fly high, and the culture clash of teenagers finds them playing a simple game that has dire consequences. Director’s Statement: “Before he passed, screenwriter Gil Dennis told me during my time at AFI, “Write what hurts.” That idea has stayed with me; it's the compass I use when choosing the stories I want to tell. When I first read Autumn Palen's original draft of Worst Thing You've Ever Done, it hurt. It transported me back to moments in my own adolescence; memories filled with shame, ridicule, and isolation. But what floored me was its third-act twist. It was something I'd never felt so viscerally in a short script. I knew I had to direct it. What began as a contained character piece evolved into something more personal. I rewrote the script to reflect my own lived experiences, with every character, every event drawn from real moments that left a mark. I wanted to take a character that I felt so intertwined with, and make him someone that the audience would really relate to before reaching the moment where everything changes; the blood-drenched punchline to the twisted joke these high school kids played on each other. I set it during the 90’s, as it was a period of transition for me as an 80’s kid, being on the cusp of the old and new world. I needed the film to be an exploration of adolescent loneliness which dealt with the complexity of the friendships and social hierarchies that often defined who we were at that fragile age. We weren’t quite kids anymore, but we weren’t adults yet either, so how did we approach the consequences of reckless behavior? My team and I knew that casting would make or break the film. To capture that truth, casting was everything. I reviewed over 6,000 submissions, narrowing it down to a callback of who I thought could embody the characters. I needed authenticity, so at that callback, I ditched the script and asked actors, in character, to describe moments like first dates or getting asked to prom. It revealed who leaped from the page and became real. A week before we were to start shooting, my original cinematographer had to back out due to a conflict with the TV series he was currently shooting, and months of planning began to crumble. In the days leading up to whether or not we were going to cancel the project entirely, my long-time collaborator and cinematographer Jeff Billings took on the task. We shot the film over 3 tireless days, and as any director knows, you plan as much as you can; however, the plan eventually goes out the window. So I played a game of pivoting and being malleable myself in order to get what we needed to tell the story. The film is a testament to all the parts working together for a singular goal, and my hope is that when that first music cue drops, the audience is strapped in and ready to ride the roller coaster to that final frame.” https://vimeo.com/1071562836/377ba7d361?fl=pl&fe=cm Cat and Mouse Written and Directed by Brady CatesStarring: Halima Kamara as “Michelle”, Collan Simmons as “Felix, and Ron LaprechtEdited by Luke Oleen Junk, and Hayley Frederick Michelle is caught in a killer’s sadistic and carefully orchestrated game. With danger closing in at every turn, Michelle must outwit and outlast her relentless pursuer. But as the night goes on, unsettling clues reveal that all may not be what it seems. This time, it's the mouse's turn to catch the cat. My Severed Arm Written and Directed by Casey de FremeryStarring: Olivia Rose Prince as “Sidney”, Ryan Romine as “Mason”, and Julia Linger as “Commercial Model”Portland Horror Film Festival: Funny Bone Award for Exceptional Horror Comedy A woman tries to escape a serial killer using DIY videos, but the internet won't stop trying to sell her things first. Director’s Statement: “My Severed Arm is a horror-comedy about a “final girl” who, after fleeing into a cabin in the woods, discovers that her greatest threat isn't the machete-wielding slasher outside—it's the barrage of unskippable ads and paywalls blocking her access to life-saving information. Trapped, bleeding, and desperate to repair the tools around her, she turns to YouTube—but instead of help, she's ambushed by holographic tutorials and polished commercial spokespeople invading the cabin like digital ghosts. The film began with a thought I couldn't shake: what if you had to listen to ads when calling 911? It was a joke at first, but one that felt eerily plausible five minutes into the future. I've learned so many practical things through platforms like YouTube, but over time, that access has been buried beneath monetization schemes, misinformation, and endless self-promotional detours. This story is my response to that frustration—exaggerated into a literal life-or-death scenario. Stylistically, I wanted to evoke the stark, grim energy of Evil Dead or Cabin in the Woods, but undercut it with the absurdity of consumer culture leaking into every moment. That blend of horror and comedy, physical space and digital intrusion, is what drives the tone. At its core, My Severed Arm is about survival—both in the horror-movie and digital sense. It's about what happens when urgency meets algorithm, when access to knowledge is shaped by incentive structures that don't care if you bleed out. The film asks: what good is information if it's hidden behind paywalls, pop-ups, and promo codes? But more than anything, I want the audience to laugh, cringe, and feel that creeping recognition that this isn't the future – it's the now.” Into The Stand Directed by Mackenzie Hamilton and Taylor FuchsWritten by Mackenzie HamiltonStarring: Sarah Rich as “Quinn”, Ariana Raygoza as “Rosa”, and Nick Dietrich Tree planters Quinn and Rosa return to camp for another summer in the wilderness. Rosa is newly sober, and Quinn is quietly anxious about how she'll handle the camp's hard-partying culture. At the welcome-back party, Rosa is tempted to drink, prompting Quinn to intervene. Shaken, Rosa heads into the forest to clear her head, but doesn't come back. When Quinn goes after her, she's met with eerie signs: strange noises, a mangled deer, and an odd light deep in the woods. As the forest closes in, Quinn questions if there is something else out there. Director’s Statement: The woods have always haunted me. Growing up in rural Vancouver Island, I would often cut through forest trails to reach friends’ houses. When it was night, we would meet in the middle of the trail to keep each other safe. Thankfully, we always found each other, but I frequently wondered what if we didn't? What if something else was out there, waiting in the darkness of the woods? Into the Stand is inspired by the many times I scared myself on those trails, letting my imagination run wild. Now that I'm older, my fears are centered around more tangible things, like navigating how to let go of people you love when you can't control what they're going through. This story is deeply informed by themes of sobriety, codependency, and how the urge to help someone can sometimes lead you somewhere dark. Ultimately, Into the Stand is a fun horror made in the community I grew up in with friends who helped bring it to life. My husband and I co-directed this short film, transforming the woods on my parents' farm into a tree-planting camp, and had a blast turning a familiar place into something eerie and cinematic. It's a scary film that is personal and full of heart, and I'm overjoyed to be telling stories in the places that shaped me. –Mackenzie Hamilton and Taylor Fuchs Nurture Written and Directed by Nick SnyderProduced by Sam SnyderStarring: Travis Bilenski as “Ren, and Kailey Rhodes as “Rose”Portland Horror Film Festival: Winner – Goule D’or Best Short On a remote Oregon farm, a couple grieving from a miscarriage finds hope in a mysterious flower. But as it heals her, the flower takes root in him. Nurture is a dialogue-free folk-horror fable about love, grief, and the consequences of taking too much from nature. Director’s Statement: NURTURE marks my return to narrative filmmaking after years of honing my craft in visual effects, motion design, and commercial work. Inspired by the Pacific Northwest and the quiet mythology of its forests, this dialogue-free folk horror short explores grief through the lens of a nature curse. Where grief deepens love and a curse demands sacrifice, NURTURE examines the dangerous hope that something broken can be restored without cost. Other Notable Horror Shorts from the Festival: There were 48 short films shown at the Festival, selected from over 500 submissions. Here are a few notable and favorite films that were also showing at the festival. Famous Directed by Rosita Lama MuvdiWritten by Jordan MonaghanStarring Jordan Monaghan “A young woman desperate for social media fame exploits her father's death to go viral. But the volatile world of internet stardom pushes her to the edge.” Punchy and poignant. Famous taps into the darkest desires of influencers desperate to get likes. Just how far will you go for a few more “likes and subscribes”? Jordan Monaghan chases likes the wrong way in “Famous” (2026) Favela Amarela (Brazil) Written and Directed by Nicolas Lobato and Tiago TuchuStarring Richard Abelha, Giselle Batista, and Sai “A student from the favelas of Rio de Janeiro joins the local drug militia to pay for college and uncovers an NGO linked to powerful politicians that hides dark rituals devoted to the King in Yellow.” I won’t be surprised if this stunning short film also plays at the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival. It is saturated in Brazilian culture, mixed with a heavy application of Cosmic Horror. Favela Amarela (2026) Wall Udder Written and Directed by Alexandra HaydenStarring Kevin Grady, Sawyer Fuller, and Bries Vannon “A dissatisfied woman confronts repressed feelings of malaise after her partner comes home smelling like milk.” Hysterically gag-inducingly funny! There is a double-punchline gag that brought the house down. Part of the Shorts Gone Wild block at PHFF, where the festival screens the zaniest submitted shorts. This did not disappoint. Ewwww! Who wants some milk? “Wall Udder” (2026) Tooth-Hurty! Directed by Jude MadonnaWritten by Katie SmallStarring Katie Small, Jude Madonna, Brook Hogan, and Tommy HardenPortland Horror Film Festival Winner: Abby Normal Award: For the exceptionally weird and disturbing “Lucy is a people-pleasing writer-photographer whose dream of being an artist remains just out of reach. A comment from her boyfriend about her teeth triggers Lucy to make an appointment for a dental checkup for the first time in years with the mysterious yet heavily advertised Big Smiles Dentistry.” Super clever! There should be more horror movies about trips to the dentist. This made my toes curl and had me in stitches, as well. Say Ahhh! Katie Small in “Tooth-Hurty!” (2026) CHÄIR Directed by Chris McInroyWritten by Chris McInroy and Carlos La RottaStarring Carlos LaRotta, Kim Lowery, and Chloe McInroy “Carl just wanted to sit down. The chair had other plans.” I am always a fan of Chris McInroy. He and Carlos do a crazy short film every year. I am in awe of how these guys make deadpan, silly, and super-gory original content. It won’t be long before they release a greatest-hits compilation, and I will be in line to buy it. This spoof on Ikea furniture assembly is a tribute to all of us who have struggled to assemble the Scandinavian furniture at home. Carlos LaRotta contemplates his struggles putting a chair together in “CHÄIR” (2026) The Bones Exist Directed by Kelsey Bollig and Matthew DuVallWritten by Matthew DuVallStarring: Alex Pena as “Manny”, Siya Maleki as “Diego”, Jack Campbell as “Don Rob”, Michael Manzako as “The Boy”, and Alex Bankler as the Utah Raptor.Portland Horror Film Festival Winner: Tompe L’oiel Award for Best Special Effects In the unforgiving wilderness of 1850s Alta California, a dwindling group of gold prospectors encounters a feral boy who forces the men to confront the horrors lurking in the woods and the sins of their past. This combines two of my favorite genres: Dinosaurs and Westerns. Perhaps not done since The Valley of Gwanji, The Bones Exists shows plenty of raptors hunting cowboys and does so convincingly. Bonus points for showing the most current understanding of raptors as feathered dinos. Munch Munch! “The Bones Exist” (2026) Flush (France) Written and Directed by Raphaël TreinerStarring Eléonore Gurrey as “Marianne” and Christophe Ntakabenura as “Ben” Abominable plumbing and violent deaths. MARIANNE, extremely pregnant, and BEN, a plumber and one-night stand, team up to survive an epic night and face the monsters of a building beset by an unknown evil. I am a sucker for the Trapped in a Bathroom trope, even going so far as to host a Crypticon horror panel on the topic. This film goes to the top (plumbing) shelf. This is Cosmic horror that brings all the icky, goopy, nasty elements you might expect from this theme is on full display. To think that an effective little romance element managed to sneak into the plot, and you have something unusually effective. I love it when the French go weird. Eléonore Gurrey and Christophe Ntakabenura are unlikely allies in “Flush” (2026)

Matthew 11When a career-ending injury took Leslie Frazier off the field, he had no idea where God would lead him next. “Never crossed my mind,” he says of the coaching career that followed — one that now includes three Super Bowl rings.But it was never about the rings. Through every transition — from player to coach, from setback to sideline — Frazier learned to walk by faith, trusting that the path God set before him would glorify His name.That trust led Leslie into the coaches' fellowship Tony Dungy helped start more than twenty years ago, where coaches from across the NFL come together each month around Scripture Union's Encounter with God® to study the Word and hold one another accountable.Following along with the Encounter with God daily Bible reading guide? Find it at⁠⁠ scriptureunion.org⁠⁠. Featured Guest: Leslie Frazier, assistant head coach of the Seattle SeahawksLeslie Frazier is the assistant head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, a role he has held since 2024 alongside head coach Mike Macdonald. Now in his 27th season as an NFL coach, his football journey began on the field: he played five seasons as a cornerback for the Chicago Bears and was a member of the legendary 1985 Bears defense that won Super Bowl XX. After his playing days, Frazier built a long and respected coaching career, including serving as defensive backs coach and assistant head coach for the Indianapolis Colts during their Super Bowl XLI championship, four seasons as head coach of the Minnesota Vikings, and six seasons with the Buffalo Bills as defensive coordinator and assistant head coach. With Seattle's recent title, he now holds Super Bowl rings as both a player and a coach. A devoted follower of Christ, Frazier was among the coaches who, with Tony Dungy, helped start the NFL Coaches Fellowship that gathers twice a month around the Encounter with God guide. He and his wife have three children.

In this video, I reflect on the balance between emotion and truth in the life of a believer in Messiah. Drawing from observations about Christian and Jewish-based scholars, I talk about how emotionally driven faith can become unstable when challenged, while identity-rooted conviction tends to remain steady. My encouragement is simple: let emotion and logic work together in your faith, and do not let doctrinal disputes or historical debates shake your identity as a child of God. May Yahweh bless you and keep you in the name of His Son, Yeshua.Longer message here https://open.spotify.com/episode/52RWkuHIW6ITXb5RegeiCN?si=3B7yDGzMTfCMAwrvsloIOgfaith, doctrine, emotion in faith, Christian theology, Messianic faith, Yeshua, Yahweh, Hebrew roots, apologetics, spiritual growth, faith and reason, Christian encouragement, believers in Messiah, doctrinal disputes, biblical truth, staying grounded, theology and faith, unshaken faith, identity in God, heart and mind

In this passionate sermon titled 'Shipwrecked and Shaken, but I Still Built a Fire,' the speaker draws inspiration from the Apostle Paul's journey through storms and shipwrecks, urging listeners to persevere through life's trials. With fervent encouragement, the sermon emphasizes the power of faith in adversity, encouraging believers to 'build a fire' of worship and resilience even when faced with challenges like betrayal, brokenness, and the 'snakes' that emerge during times of spiritual revival. The message encourages the congregation to shake off negativity, embrace their anointing, and trust in God's unwavering purpose for their lives, reminding them that their journey, despite being fraught with difficulties, leads to divine victory and purpose.

Shaken, stirred, and unforgettable! This week on Tales from Hollywoodland, the crew takes a fascinating look at The Femme Fatales of James Bond—the glamorous, dangerous, and iconic women who helped define the legendary 007 franchise. From seductive spies and deadly assassins to unforgettable Bond girls and complex villains, we explore the characters who stole scenes, […] The post License to Thrill: The Femme Fatales of James Bond appeared first on The ESO Network.

1982 kam Shaken not Stirred für den ZX Spectrum auf den Markt, und seitdem gibt es immer wieder neues Agentenfutter. Das letzte richtige Spiel (DLCs und Remastered ausgenommen) war James Bond: World of Espionage im Jahr 2015. Oft waren die Spiele an die Kinodarsteller angelehnt, doch in 007 First Light begegnen wir einem jungen Bond, der gerade am Anfang seiner MI6-Karriere steht. Das ebnet den Weg die Geschichte neu aufzurollen. Und natürlich lernen wir so gut wie alle bekannten MI6 Kolleginnen und Kollegen kennen. Auch jede Menge Referenzen zu den Filmen gibt es zu entdecken. Wie man es erwartet, gibt es viele unterschiedliche Locations, jede Menge Action, aber auch Rätsel zu lösen. Der Mix ist gut vollzogen, weshalb nie wirkliche Eintönigkeit auftritt. Vor allem, da man auch sehr viele Freiheiten im Bestehen der Aufgaben hat. Man hat jederzeit Lust weiterzuspielen, und zu sehen, wie sich die Geschichte entwickelt. 007 First Light bietet einen gelungenen neuen Einstieg in eine bekannte Welt, um beliebtes weiterzuführen, und einiges angestaubtes in die neue Zeit zu bringen. Fans des Agenten mit der Lizenz zum Töten sollten sich dieses Spiel nicht entgehen lassen, und alle anderen Actionfans werden damit auch ihre Freude haben.

In today's episode I will be praying over us, reading Psalm 21, and saying whatever the Holy Spirit prompts me to say after I read the scripture. This is day 21 of a series where I will be reading a Psalm everyday on here for 150 days. I challenge you to come to join me everyday as we use scripture to fight off the enemy and grow us in ways that we can't even imagine.   My First Christian Children's book, "You Are Loved" is now available for purchase on Amazon!!

Jeff Rowland walks through 2 Thessalonians with one clear focus, why a young church got shaken so fast. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, we look at Paul's letter to the Thessalonians and trace the fear, pressure, and false message that caused real confusion. The teaching follows the passage step by step, using Acts 17 and both Thessalonian letters to show the setting, the urgency, and the difference between the rapture and the day of the Lord. Jeff makes a strong case for reading prophecy with context, not panic. He contrasts street-level reading with a wider view of Scripture, then shows how Paul taught new believers about Christ's return, the gathering of the saints, and the coming day of the Lord. That wider view matters, because a forged word, a false report, or a half-read verse can shake believers who are already under pressure. This message is practical for anyone who wants to understand 1 and 2 Thessalonians, end-times teaching, and how to keep a steady mind when fear rises. It also gives a clear reminder that Scripture interprets Scripture, and that the whole counsel of God gives believers the frame they need. If you want a careful, Bible-based look at Thessalonica, prophecy, persecution, and the hope of Christ's return, this conversation is for you. Watch, listen, and hold onto the context. #TheSmithAndRowlandShow #JeffRowland #Thessalonians #BibleTeaching #EndTimesTeaching

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down why the Knicks look like the sharper, more composed team after Game 1 of the NBA Finals. From Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle's postgame comments to Josh Hart's win now mentality, the conversation centers on whether San Antonio's youth and confidence are already turning into a major Knicks advantage. The guys also dive into the history at stake if the Spurs drop both home games, the unique chaos of Knicks watch parties, and the wild ticket market for Game 3 at Madison Square Garden. Plus, they react to Aaron Judge's rib injury and debate whether the Yankees need to rethink his future in right field before his defensive greatness costs them his bat again.

The Serpent's Strait Ch. 11We open with a bar brawl that ends quickly and decisively, leaving most of the patrons unconscious. Using his booming voice, Thorak, still disguised as Snorak, restores order before dragging the one of the instigators outside for questioning. The man admits he was sent, along with others, to eliminate the party on Blackburn's orders. But the interrogation is interrupted when a mysterious figure emerges from the alley, asking how the party can seemingly exist in two places at once. The stranger reveals himself to be Hanith Blackburn, who explains that his sister was likely behind the assassination attempt. After a tense but oddly conversational exchange, Hanith casually kills the would-be assassin by crushing his windpipe via telekinesis, leaving the party unsettled by his detached curiosity and apparent indifference to his family's actions.Shaken but focused, the group regathers and finalizes the plan for Operation Boomstick before their past selves arrive in town. Bob takes center stage with an elaborate performance designed to draw exactly the attention they need. The performance succeeds, catching the Priest of the King in Yellow off guard. The Priest follows the Bard to the location that the group set up. As they lure him to the spot he needs to be, the priest casts Web, briefly trapping Bob as he attempts to flee, but Bob is quickly freed. Elizabeth restrains the warforged priest just as Thorak shouts for everyone to run, hurling a flaming javelin into the planted andrite. The last thing the party hears before the massive explosion is the maniacal laughter of their enemy.There's so much happening, and that's where we pick up…Find out what happens next in this episode of the Medusa's Cascade: Blood & Booze!Theme Music is written and performed by EfflorescenceTitle Card by Pierce Graphics Mixed by Thomas Lapierre IIICheck out the show at themedusascascade.com Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, Georgie shares what happened after the cameras stopped rolling on her conversation with Sarah Wilson - because that interview didn't leave her peaceful. For days, she sat with feelings of unease, quietly processing what it all meant. This episode is her honest reflection: what shook her, what she had to work through, and where she eventually landed. Georgie unpacks the reframe that brought her the most peace - that what looks like collapse is really a reorganisation, a simplification that unfolds over time. That life as we know it isn't disappearing overnight. That within the change, there are threads of something genuinely good: a return to community, to reliance on each other, to a world where kindness becomes its own currency. If the Sarah Wilson episode (or the topic of Systems Collapse) stirred something in you too, this is the moment to take a long breath out.  

Paul and Silas' story in Acts 16 reminds us that following God does not exempt us from suffering, but God often uses painful situations for His greater purpose. After being falsely accused, beaten, and imprisoned for freeing a demon-possessed girl, Paul and Silas responded with prayer and worship instead of fear and bitterness. God shook the prison with a miraculous earthquake, leading the jailer and his household to hear the gospel and place their faith in Jesus. This sermon challenged us to trust God in difficult seasons, because our response to suffering can strengthen our faith and point others toward Christ. Genuine salvation produces real transformation, and Christians are called to live in a way that encourages others to follow Jesus.

We come this week to what has been described as "the most obscure and difficult in the whole of the Pauline writings" (Leon Morris 1984). However, despite the many gaps and guesses in the thinking around this passage in 2 Thessalonians 2, it is in fact meant to be a word of great encouragement and hope to the church in Thessalonica, and therefore, to us. As daunting as the prospect of the revealing of 'the man of lawlessness' may be, he is brought to nothing by the appearing of Christ. Paul writes this passage, not to shake the church up but to settle it down; not to spook them into a panic but to comfort and stir their hearts in patient faith, steadfast hope and enduring love.

Hour 4 of Baskin and Phelps

In 2 Thessalonians 2:1-5, Paul comforts believers who were shaken by false teaching and fearful that they had missed Christ's return. He encourages them to stand firm in God's truth, not be deceived by fear, and trust that Christ remains sovereign. This passage reminds us that God's Word steadies anxious hearts and gives lasting hope. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

Mens Room Question: Irrational or not, what truly scares you and why?

Anger can be useful. If you need to defend yourself or those you love, or if you need to stand up against some outrage in your community, anger can give you the necessary fire to get things done. It can also be poisonous, eating away at a soul until there's not much left but dense fury that constantly leaks out like oil from a ruptured tanker. This week's story is about a man who let his anger consume not only himself, but the lives of three innocent people. Join us live at Wet Hot Bad Magic Summer Camp in Equinunk, PA, September 10-13th!

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Our shout-out today goes to Dean Jenard from Yorktown Heights, NY. Thanks for your partnership in Project23. We cannot do this without donors like you. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 14:26-33. What then, brothers? When you come together, each one has a hymn, a lesson, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for building up. If any speak in a tongue, let there be only two or at most three, and each in turn, and let someone interpret. But if there is no one to interpret, let each of them keep silent in church and speak to himself and to God. Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others weigh what is said. If a revelation is made to another sitting there, let the first be silent. For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be encouraged, and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets. For God is not a God of confusion but of peace. — 1 Corinthians 14:26-33 Paul now regulates the church. Everyone has something. A song. A word. A revelation. A tongue. So the problem isn't participation; it's the disorder being caused and the motivation behind it. Notice the key phrase that governs this whole paragraph: "Let all things be done for building up." — 1 Corinthians 14:26 That is the filter and the gauge for doing anything in church. Not: Did it feel powerful? Not: Was it emotional? But did it build up? Paul then regulates tongues: two or three at most. One at a time. With interpretation. If there is no interpreter, be silent. He regulates prophecy the same way: two or three. Others weigh what is said. Why? Because God is not a God of confusion but of peace. Disorder is not evidence of spiritual movement. Unrestrained emotional expression is not evidence of revival. If a gathering reflects confusion, competition, or emotional frenzy, it does not mirror the God of peace. Spirit-led worship is not uncontrollable; it does not erupt without restraint or wisdom. It is ordered, intelligible, and governed by love so that everyone can learn and be encouraged. If the Spirit is truly leading, the church should leave strengthened—not shaken. DO THIS: Evaluate the atmosphere of your church gatherings. Do people leave strengthened—or merely stirred up? Does the structure reflect the character of a God of peace? ASK THIS: Do I equate spontaneity with spirituality? Have I confused emotional intensity with the Spirit's presence? Does my church intentionally pursue order so that everyone can learn and be encouraged? PRAY THIS: Lord, shape our gatherings to reflect your character. Guard us from confusion, competition, and disorder. Let your Spirit produce peace, clarity, and edification so your people leave strengthened, not shaken. Amen. PLAY THIS: "What A Beautiful Name"

When you are trying to trust God after the death of your child, it can feel like everything you believed has been shaken to the core. In this deeply personal episode, Laura shares part of her own story and the questions that rise when suffering doesn't make sense. Together, we gently look at what Scripture says about pain and how God's grace and glory are still present, even in the darkest places. This episode is rooted in 1 Peter 5:10–11, reminding us that even after we have suffered for a while, God's heart toward us has not changed. If your faith feels fragile or uncertain right now, you are not alone, and this conversation is for you.

From historic buildings linked to emancipation to tiny village chapels, Jamaica is home to the world's highest density of churches. The Caribbean Island faced a profound spiritual crisis after Hurricane Melissa devastated many of the 1600 sacred spaces where people gathered to worship. Journalist Nick Davis, who has returned to his family's roots and now lives on the island, takes us on an emotional journey back to Black River and Lacovia, in the heart of the hardest-hit areas. Nick joins volunteers as they continue to dig through the rubble and salvage what they can. Their places of worship may be razed to the ground, but those who once gathered here demonstrate how faith brings fresh hope and a resilience that reaches far beyond the bricks and mortar.
