Why do we keep going back to the same struggles we thought we had already overcome?In this message from Acts 8, Pastor Bobby Chandler teaches about Simon the Sorcerer and what happens when old desires, bitterness, jealousy, and hidden struggles remain in our hearts.Giving your life to Jesus happens in a moment—but transformation is a process.You may still hear the old voices. You may still face temptation. You may still struggle with things from your past. But just because you hear the old voice doesn't mean you have to obey it.God wants your whole heart.Stop hiding what needs healing, surrender it completely to Jesus, and allow Him to transform you from the inside out.Key Scriptures:Acts 7–8Mark 1:22–26Mark 5:6–7Matthew 7:21Authentic Church 2010 Clement Blvd NW Hickory, NC 28601 GIVING To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://authenticchurch.com/give GET CONNECTED Ready to check out Authentic Church in person?

Warning: This discussion contains major spoilers for all seven books of The Second Apocalypse, including events from The Unholy Consult. If this is your first journey through the series, we strongly recommend reading the novels before listening.In this episode, Sean and I dive into Part I: The Sorcerer, revisiting the opening chapters with the benefit of knowing where the story ultimately leads. What once seemed like simple worldbuilding now reveals itself as an astonishing web of foreshadowing, hidden clues, and philosophical foundations that shape the entire seven-book series.We discuss Achamian's role as the emotional heart of the story, the introduction of the Mandate Schoolmen, the first appearances of Skin-Spies and the Consult, the growing influence of Maithanet, and the early hints surrounding the Holy War. We also explore Bakker's use of the Seswatha Dreams, the nature of sorcery, the Outside, fate versus free will, and how compassion functions in a world built on manipulation.Along the way, we revisit Esmenet's heartbreaking introduction, laugh about Achamian's infamous "morning apocalypse," and marvel at just how much Bakker quietly establishes in only a handful of chapters.Whether you're revisiting Earwa for the tenth time or following along after finishing the series, join us as we examine the details, speculate about long-term connections, and inevitably miss a few things along the way.

In this episode of the Sharing Grace Podcast, Jay Austin is joined by Executive Pastor Brandon Rieb and Young Adults Coordinator Caden Sichler to explore Acts 8 and the striking contrast between Simon the Sorcerer and the Ethiopian eunuch. Together they unpack the difference between being impressed by God's power and truly surrendering to His heart, while discovering how God's pursuing grace transforms ordinary lives into extraordinary testimonies. Whether you're wrestling with faith, longing to grow closer to Jesus, or wondering how God can use your everyday life, this conversation offers practical encouragement and a reminder that God is still pursuing people today.

What is simony? And where do you draw the line? Here at Remnant Radio, we do sell courses and conferences teaching people about the gifts of the spirit. We want to be honest and upfront about that, and it's exactly why we're discussing simony in this episode. We want to examine whether what we do holds up under Scripture. ABOUT THIS EPISODE:The word "simony" comes from Acts 8, when Simon Magus tried to purchase the power of the Holy Spirit and Peter answered him: "May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money" (Acts 8:20, ESV). That confrontation gave the body of Christ an important category for thinking about money and ministry that we're going to explore.What did Peter actually condemn, and what didn't he condemn? Scripture is more specific than most people realize, and the early church, as documented in the Didache, wrestled openly with where the line sits between legitimate support for ministry and exploiting the gifts of God for personal gain.This episode takes a hard look at that line. There are things that should never carry a price tag. Prayer ministry and deliverance ministry are on that list, and we'll walk through why Scripture draws that boundary so clearly. But the conversation doesn't stop there. What about seminary or Bible college? Christian books and music? The Bible itself? Join us for a biblical exploration of simony and where Scripture draws the line.0:00 – Introduction0:21 – Ethics of Charging for Ministry8:53 – Scripture on Giving Freely12:20 – Isaiah 55 and Matthew 10:817:47 – Payment for Healing Prayers?18:55 – Compensation for Itinerant Ministers23:12 – Honorariums and Speaking Fees27:18 – Bibles, Seminaries, and Simony32:03 – Simon the Sorcerer in Acts 837:37 – Suggested Donations for Deliverance?51:38 – Didache on Itinerant Prophets56:02 – Dangers of Full-Time ItinerancySubscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

In this episode of JJ Meets World, JJ and Tucker break down JJ's wild one-day trip from Fargo to Los Angeles to see Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in an immersive Cosm shared reality theater experience. JJ and his sister Chrissy wake up at 3:30 in the morning, fly from Fargo to Minneapolis to Los Angeles, visit the Warner Bros. Studio Tour, stop by Hollywood landmarks like the Dolby Theatre, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the TCL Chinese Theatre, the Roosevelt Hotel, and the El Capitan Theatre, and then head to Inglewood for a one-of-a-kind dome screening of the first Harry Potter movie. The episode digs into what makes the Cosm Harry Potter experience feel different from IMAX, 3D, VR, or traditional moviegoing. JJ describes the huge dome screen, the expanded Hogwarts environments, the flying Hogwarts letters, the Quidditch match, floating candles in the Great Hall, and the idea of "shared reality" as a new way to experience movies with an audience. JJ and Tucker also talk about the future of immersive cinema, whether movies like The Matrix, Jurassic Park, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Wizard of Oz, and Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey would work in formats like Cosm or IMAX, and why familiar movies might be the perfect fit for this kind of expanded theatrical presentation.

Ever wonder what's really going on inside your soul?Sometimes our outward reactions—whether it's an explosion of road rage or a sudden burst of frustration—are just surface symptoms of a deeper, underlying issue. In this message, "Getting Curious," Chris Conrad challenges us to look beneath the surface of our behaviors, fears, and habits to discover what is driving them.Just like a physical condition can cause mixed-up signals in our bodies, our spiritual lives can get their wires crossed. Through the lives of Moses and Simon the Sorcerer, we see how unaddressed internal struggles can limit how fully God can use us. But the good news? A loving Heavenly Father isn't looking to condemn you—He is inviting you to get curious about your soul so the Holy Spirit can bring true healing.Website: https://impact.church Facebook: https://facebook.com/ImpactChurchHome Instagram: https://instagram.com/ImpactChurchHome YouTube: https://youtube.com/@impactchurchhome TikTok: https://tiktokcom/@impactchurchhome

Old School June continues with one of the greatest overlooked films of the 1970s: Sorcerer.In Episode 373 of Jay Movie Talk, I talk about William Friedkin's intense survival thriller and explore why Sorcerer has gone from a box office disappointment to one of the most respected cult classics in history.In this episode, I discuss*Why Sorcerer is one of the most underrated films of the 1970s.*William Friedkin';s uncompromising vision following The Exorcist*The unforgettable bridge sequence and why it's still one of the greatest suspense scenes ever filmed.*The themes of redemption, fate, guilt, and survival that drive each characterI also talk about why Sorcerer struggled at the box office upon its original release, how its timing affected its legacy, and why modern audiences have embraced it as one of the finest thrillers ever made.More than just a survival story, Sorcerer is a great example of suspense and a reminder that some of cinema's greatest achievements aren't always recognized in their own time.

We go over the Producer's role on a movie set, how Gene Hackman controlled a scene through his acting, and why a movie like Sorcerer would never be made today.Engage!

Jim Hill and Lauren Hersey are back with a merch-packed episode that starts at Target, swings through Walt Disney World, and lands deep in Mickey Mouse history. Lauren shares what she spotted on her latest Florida trip, from Muppets merch and Uncle Deadly deep cuts to Disney's colorful new Logo Mania collections. Then Jim looks back at Disney's repeated attempts to give Mickey Mouse a milestone birthday celebration big enough for the big screen, and why those plans often arrived late, changed shape, or became something else entirely. NEWS • Golden Girls returns to the bookstore with Death on the Lanai, the second mystery novel in Disney's sitcom-inspired series. • Target's Disney Fan Snacks line brings character-shaped chips to the aisle, including Darth Vader corn chips and Grogu-inspired flavors. • Toy Story 5 merch arrives early with Ginormous, a truly oversized plush pig that may require its own shopping cart. • Lauren checks out Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets merch, including Kermit keychains, Miss Piggy gear, and Animal-focused designs. • Walt Disney World's Logo Mania collections lean into color-coded Disney fan moments, from Last Day of Trip Blues to Popcorn on Main Street. FEATURE • Jim revisits how The Sorcerer's Apprentice began as a Mickey birthday short before growing into Fantasia. • Disney's planned Jack and the Beanstalk feature for Mickey's 15th birthday was derailed by World War II and eventually reshaped into Fun and Fancy Free. • Mickey's 60th birthday brought a star-studded NBC special and the temporary Magic Kingdom land that became surprisingly permanent. • The abandoned Search for Mickey Mouse would have sent Disney characters across the animated canon before evolving into Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers.

If you've got a scene that feels flat and you can't figure out why, this episode will help you diagnose what's really going on—so you know whether the scene is working, needs strengthening, or may not belong in your story at all.You know that feeling when a scene just isn't quite working, but you can't put your finger on why? The sentences are clean. The dialogue sounds right. Line by line, it reads fine… and yet the scene just sits there.Here's the thing: a lot of the time, the problem isn't your prose. It's that nothing meaningful changes in the scene—or the change that does happen doesn't affect the larger story. And once you can see that, the problem becomes much easier to fix.In this episode, I'm breaking down one of the most common reasons a scene falls flat: the missing or weak value shift. I'll explain what a value shift is, why every scene needs one, and how to tell the difference between a change that matters to your story and one that simply fills space.In the episode, you'll hear me talk about:[02:25] What a “value shift” actually is, and why a scene without one will feel flat no matter how good the writing is[04:25] Why a scene can technically have an arc of change and still fall flat[07:00] The three questions I ask to find the value shift in any scene—and the one that matters most[00:00] The value shift mistake that quietly muddies your scenes (and the simple fix to get instant clarity) [15:50] Why a scene packed with action can still feel thin, and what to look for underneath the surfaceYou'll walk away with a simple three-question check you can run on any scene to see what changed, why it matters, and where to revise first if the scene still isn't working.

This week on Tubi or Not Tubi, we bring you a truly delightful conversation with Niclas Larsson, the director of Mother, Couch!

Join us as we take a deeper dive into the finer tapestries of freaky familial cosmic furniture.

We live in a world that constantly promises us shortcuts to power, transformation, and fulfillment. This message from Acts 8 confronts us with the story of Simon the Sorcerer, a man who wanted God's power without God's presence, who sought the gifts without the Giver. The passage challenges us to examine what paths we're taking in our spiritual journey. Are we following the well-trod path of surrender and intimacy with Jesus, or are we being seduced by the easier route that promises transformation without vulnerability, healing without repentance, and resurrection without death? The central revelation here is that every city and every person lives under a spell of some kind. For us in modern times, these spells might be individualism, scarcity mindset, workaholism, or the technological ease that promises instant answers without the hard work of formation. We're invited to recognize that we cannot gain God's power without His person and without His passion. True transformation requires us to die to ourselves, to surrender control, and to trust that the difficult path of discipleship is actually the good path. This isn't just about avoiding obvious sins; it's about recognizing how we've become consumers rather than disciples, how we want friendship with benefits from Jesus rather than covenant relationship. The call is clear: repent from the magic that manipulates spiritual forces for personal gain, and instead embrace worship that says 'I surrender' rather than 'I leverage.' We're reminded that we can be baptized and still not fully surrender, that we can join the movement and still seek the power of our old life. The invitation is to become transitional characters who break the curse in our families and our city, saying 'it ends with us' and stepping into the freedom that only comes through the Holy Spirit.

"You drew stars around my scars, but now I'm bleeding." This week, we're doing a Show & Tell episode on one of Taylor's most recurring literary devices: scars. From the ice-cold wounds of “Cold As You” from her debut album to the wistful “cardigan” of folklore and the Kingpin-Taylor energy of “CANCELLED!” from The Life of a Showgirl, we trace how Taylor's use of scars has evolved from pure pain to reclaimed power. We talk Odysseus, Harry Potter, Death Eaters (yes, really), shattering glass ceilings, and what it means to turn a mark of suffering into a VIP passport. Join us as we explore what scars say about heroes, villains, and the very specific experience of being a woman in your 30s who has finally decided the wounds were worth it.

Get ready to lean into the darkness! For this episode, we invited a special guest to help us celebrate the most wonderful (and miserable) time of the year: Bleak Week.Running from June 21-27 at the Oriental Theatre, Bleak Week is an international phenomenon featuring some of the greatest, saddest and most soul-crushing films from around the world. This year, the series delves into the theme of work, exploring how our jobs and labor can be a primary source of bleakness in our daily lives.Milwaukee Film programming director Kerstin Larson is back in the studio as we dive into the Bleak Week lineup, starting with a special Father's Day screening of Béla Tarr's The Turin Horse. We also discuss the high-stakes tension of Sorcerer, the psychological paranoia of the anime classic Perfect Blue and the minimum-wage struggles depicted in American Job, which includes a live Q&A with local lead actor Randy Russell.Whether it's the gritty detective work of Se7en or the poignant social commentary of Black Girl, there's a flavor of misery for every cinephile to enjoy together in the beautiful, air-conditioned gloom of the theater. After all, misery loves company.####Cinebuds is sponsored by Joe Wilde Garage Doors.

This week, we break down the Stranger Scenes for Chapter 4 of Season 5, Sorcerer. Stay Strange.

We're headed back to a very early “car” movie to talk about John Ford's stagecoach with the help of Tobin Addington! After Joey bullies Joe into voting for the 2 Fast 2 Forever Hall of Fame (and you can, too!), we discuss the historical context of Stagecoach: it's the movie that legitimized the Western genre and inspired filmmakers for decades to come, and also the movie that turned both John Wayne and John Ford into stars. Joe shares his ties to Geronimo. We talk about the closest scenes and vehicles we've gotten to a stagecoach in the franchise, discuss a Sorcerer-esque stunt (and how that opened up a whole new path of stunts in this movie, thanks to Yakima Canutt), and the origins of the term “riding shotgun.” We try to contextualize both the racism in the film and the atrocity of the Running W stunt. Tobin shares more insight into the ways in which this inspired Fast and Furious. Joey talks about the ties between this movie and Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie.

There is a house in Auburn, California, with a tragic history and a new tenant. Jean Averaud has come from New Orleans with money, with books, with a beautiful mute woman who watches him with eyes full of something between devotion and dread. He has come with a theory about evil — not the Devil, not sin, not the ordinary darkness of human nature, but evil as a cosmic force, a radiation from a black sun somewhere in the depths of space.And he has come with a purpose. In the old Larcom house, with its history of sorrow and disaster, he has found exactly the conditions he needs. His neighbour, a novelist, finds himself drawn into Averaud's orbit. Clark Ashton Smith's The Devotee of Evil is a quiet story. It does not rush. It thinks. And what it thinks about has been troubling philosophers and theologians for two thousand years. The Devotee of Evil was first published in Smith's self-produced chapbook The Double Shadow and Other Fantasies in 1933, after failing to find a commercial publisher. It reappeared in Stirring Science Stories in February 1941. Clark Ashton Smith (1893–1961) was a California poet, painter, sculptor and writer of weird fiction, one of the central figures of the Weird Tales circle alongside H.P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard, with whom he maintained a long correspondence.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-classic-ghost-stories-podcast--7002956/support.*To buy my paperback books:* https://books.by/tony-walker-booksThe Classic Ghost Stories Newsletter — short essays on the genre, odd discoveries, and recommendations.

“Seems the only one who doesn't see your beauty is the face in the mirror looking back at you.”This week, we're doing a Show and Tell on one of literature's most enduring symbols: the mirror. From Narcissus to Dorian Gray, Snow White's magic mirror to Alice Through the Looking Glass, mirrors have long served as devices of identity, vanity, the supernatural, and the soul, and Taylor Swift is no stranger to the motif. We trace mirrors across three songs: Tied Together with a Smile (Taylor Swift, 2006), Begin Again (Red, 2012), and Anti-Hero (Midnights, 2022). Along the way, we explore distorted self-perception and the inner child, the mirror as a post-breakup identity reset, why Taylor would rather stare directly at the sun than face her own reflection, and what social media has to do with all of it. Plus: Dorian Gray, Narcissus, vampires without souls, the Bloody Mary game, and an accidental Justin Timberlake shout-out.

Start Your Transformation Now I was thinking a few weeks ago, “What do I want to talk about this week on the podcast?” and I had a flood of ideas and topics pop into my mind and none of them were calling to me at that time and I thought, “So many people ask about spirituality, why don't I dig further into and talk about my experiences with a shaman?” So, in this episode, I pull the curtain back a bit and share one of my most memorable experiences with a shaman/sorcerer. I could share many of these but that would be overwhelming so it's better to just start with one and we'll see how it goes. What I'm sharing in this podcast is a non-ordinary event and at the very least an event that may be a good story if nothing else. More than anything, my intention with this episode is to get you to start thinking about the world of the non-ordinary and the world that exists that you cannot physically observe with your sight or sound. My intention is to get you to really start thinking about the power you wield as a “cosmic being.” Think about the world of physics, energy, and what's real and not real. Science shows that we can only observe about 3% of what exists on the electromagnetic spectrum which means we miss most of like and what's available to us. Perhaps this episode can get you to start thinking about the world and your world of the non-ordinary and what's really all around you. Listen, apply, and enjoy!

Your (g)hosts continue their quest to uncover the new home of Horror Vanguard. However, this leg of the journey unravels as a computer glitch renders the Bug half of the discussion unusable; for now. Unexpectedly akin to a certain truck fused together like a certain literary monster like certain gendered bodies, this show is also a thing made of its own dissolution, at times. Enjoy, won't we.
