Rome. 1610. A painter who sees God in the faces of prostitutes and killers is on the run for murder.His name is Caravaggio. He drinks too much. He loves recklessly. Men, women, it doesn't matter. He picks fights with swordsmen and screams at the heavens in candlelit chapels. He paints the way other men pray, except his prayers are in defiance. And the Catholic Church can't decide whether to pardon him or let the bounty hunters finish the job.This screenplay by Richard Vetere, a Pulitzer nominee and Golden Palm winner whose work has been produced by Francis Ford Coppola, follows Caravaggio from the brothels of Rome to a besieged fortress on Malta where a scarred Grand Master offers him sanctuary and something that looks a lot like love. But sanctuary has a price. And Caravaggio has never paid what he owes without bleeding for it.There are popes making deals in candlelight. Brothers hunting him across the Mediterranean for killing their own. A muse he left behind in Rome who can't wait much longer. A rival painter who despises his work and can't stop staring at it. Knights nailed to crosses and set on fire floating into the harbor at dawn. A prison cell carved into rock like a grave. And an escape across open sea in a fishing boat guided by a boy too afraid to speak.This is not a quiet period piece. This is Game of Thrones in Renaissance Italy with paintbrushes and rapiers.Craig Parker, who played Haldir in Lord of the Rings, plays Caravaggio. Academy Award nominee and Golden Globe winner Bruce Davison plays the Grand Master. Dan Lauria, America's dad from The Wonder Years, plays the Cardinal pulling every string in Rome. Ray Abruzzo, Little Carmine from The Sopranos, plays the Pope. The cast includes Broadway veterans, stars of The Chosen, the voices behind the biggest video games on the planet, and a former Navy test pilot born in Italy playing an Italian swordsman.Fourteen actors. One genius who painted like God was guiding his hand and lived like the devil was chasing him. Turns out both were true.This is Caravaggio. This is Table Read.

Why can't you get past the patterns and habits that seem to hold you back—even when you love God and want to grow? In this episode, Candace and Madi talk honestly about the small, unconfessed compromises that shape a life over time. They unpack why sin rarely starts big, the difference between falling into sin and choosing to live in it, and why the fear of the Lord is rooted in reverence, not distance. Madi shares a powerful story about double red flags at the beach and a lifeguard pleading with people to get out of the water - not to ruin their fun, but to save their lives. Candace adds practical wisdom about daily surrender, prayer, Scripture, and learning to say “no” when it matters most. They also respond to listener questions about prayer and marriage: • Sheila: “Can you talk to God like he's your best friend, or is that disrespectful?” • Rita: Advice for a couple who are new to their faith and preparing for marriage Connect with Candace and Madison Candace on Instagram @candacecbure  Follow the Podcast on Instagram @candacecameronburepodcast  Follow the Podcast on TikTok @ccbpodcast Follow Madison Prewett Troutt on Instagram: @madiprew Website: https://www.madiprew.com/ YouTube:@madiprewett2381 Sponsors For This Episode 316 Financial https://bank316.com/candace IFCJ ifcj.org GCU https://gcu.edu NOCD nocd.com WeShare https://eshare.org/candace Solo Mio https://angel.com/candace Learn more about your ad choices.

The Letter of Jude E5 — In verses 11-16, Jude continues warning his Jewish messianic audience about deceptive, immoral people infiltrating their house churches. He compares them to three characters from the Hebrew Bible—Cain, Balaam, and Korah—who choose rebellion for themselves and lead others astray. Next, he compares the corrupt church members to a series of images from Scripture, including selfish shepherds, rainless clouds, and wandering stars. In this episode, Jon and Tim continue exploring Jude's dense prose, where he seamlessly weaves together allusions to the Hebrew Bible and Second-Temple period literature into a piercing critique of imposters within a community of disciples.FULL SHOW NOTESFor chapter-by-chapter summaries, referenced Scriptures, and reflection questions, check out the full show notes for this episode.CHAPTERSCain, Balaam, and Korah (0:00-23:23)Six Images of Corrupt Leaders (23:23-37:45)The Prophecy of Enoch (37:45-55:42)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.BIBLEPROJECT JUDE TRANSLATIONView our full translation of the Letter of Jude.REFERENCED RESOURCESAntiquities of the Jews by JosephusCheck out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books here.SHOW MUSIC“Gentle Lamb” by Lofi Sunday, Yoni Charis“Purple Clouds ft.

In this episode, we explore why spending time Scripture is essential for staying rooted in Christ and how it aids us in the midst of spiritual battle. We reflect on the reality that Scripture is the living Word of God, far more powerful than we often realize. It has the ability to encourage, correct, heal, and transform our hearts. We share personal stories of how the Holy Spirit has brought Scripture to life for us and how God's Word has been an anchor during seasons of difficulty. Friends, God desires to speak to you personally through His Word and is inviting you not into just another task, but into a deeper, life-giving relationship with Him.   Heather's One Thing - The Sisters of Life on Franciscan's Campus Sister Miriam's One Thing - Healing Prayers and Renunciations by Bob Schuchts Michelle's One Thing - Frontier Camp with Life Teen   Other Resources Mentioned:  The Bible in the Year Podcast Walking with Purpose Bible Studies Ignatius Catholic Study Bible (Or find it at Ignatius Press here) Magnificat   Announcement: Our 2026 Lenten book study will be "The Way of Trust and Love" by Fr.

Segment 3 • See how a clever analogy comparing religions to languages breaks down under biblical scrutiny. • Learn why Jesus is not one of many truths—He is the Truth. • The gospel must be used lovingly to refute the popular ideas of religious pluralism and universalism.

In Part 2 of this conversation, Francis and Lisa Chan respond to live questions about living “on mission” as a family without losing your soul, your kids, or your joy. They tackle what happens when a husband and wife feel pulled in different directions, how to think biblically about leadership and authority, and why so many “marriage problems” are really worship and contentment problems. You'll also hear raw, honest reflections on parenting, and what it looks like to pray, wait, and trust God with your children's hearts. Throughout, Francis and Lisa keep returning to a simple theme: seek first the Kingdom, invite your children into the mission, and trust the Holy Spirit to do what you can't.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that in times of stress, like David, we need God's wisdom, and consult with Him first. Appearances might look all wrong, but God reveals His wisdom in degrees so that we will continue to rely on His Word.

Grab your water (take a big sip right now), lace up your shoes, and be present to what it feels like to quench your thirst. This is your call to move your body and have fun today! Truth be told, you're thirsty! We're a chronically dehydrated people… both physically and spiritually. Today, let's move our hearts closer to the Living Water—Jesus. Key Scripture John 7:37-38 (NIV) As you start to feel better and get your body moving, offer your body as an act of worship. Exercise uses the whole body—that's why it's so beneficial for us as whole people created in God's image. God provides… for every step you take. He's the source of true endurance—not just for the miles, but for the marathon of life. The Biology of Thirst: A Mirror to Our Soul's Need—Did you know your body is about 60% water, and your brain is roughly 75% water? Water is essential for every cell, every thought, every heartbeat. That physical desperation when we're dehydrated? It reflects something deeper. Breaking Down Water in Scripture—and Our Dependence on Christ Just like our bodies cry out for physical water to survive and thrive, our souls thirst for the Living Water. When our soul is thirsty, we become desperate people—chasing temporary fixes, distractions, or empty wells that never satisfy. But Jesus invites the thirsty to come to Him. He doesn't just quench; He becomes a spring welling up to eternal life, overflowing to others.  Reflection Questions to Ponder (or Journal During/After Your Movement) How has God been faithful to you lately, even in small ways? What wilderness season have you survived… or are you walking through right now? How is He sustaining you there—like living water in the desert? What are you thirsting for? What water from the rock does Jesus need to bring? So hydrate up (literally and spiritually), move with joy, and let this workout be worship! Loved this episode?

What if the greatest threat to our witness today isn't culture—but division within the church itself? In a time when opinions are loud and loyalties are competing, it's easy to prioritize being right over reflecting Christ. In this episode, Christine Caine walks through 1 Corinthians 1 to remind us that what unites us in Jesus is far greater than anything that divides us. Paul's words to the Corinthian church speak powerfully to our moment—calling us back to humility, unity, and the centrality of the cross. This message challenges us to elevate Jesus above personalities, preferences, and opinions, and to live in a way that truly reflects Him to a watching world. Unity isn't optional—it's essential to our witness. ✨ In this episode, you'll discover: ● Why unity matters more than ever in a divided world ● How the cross confronts pride, power, and human wisdom ● What it looks like to live and lead with Jesus at the center
