Headlines can break your heart; Scripture can steady your hands. We open with praise and a raw story from the news, then move into prayer, seeking the God who meets the powerless and realigns our priorities. From there we walk through marriage teaching that confronts a consumer mindset with mutual authority, consent, and prayerful rhythms designed to protect trust and joy. It's a counterculture vision that builds covenant strength instead of quick exits.We read Matthew 27 and linger at the cross: the mockery, the darkness at noon, the torn curtain, the earthquake, and a centurion's confession. The scene refuses to sanitize pain. Instead, it tells the truth about sin and love in the same breath, and it anchors our hope when loss, fear, and injustice hit home. Psalm 34 answers with a practice of praise, a call to fear the Lord, and a promise that those who take refuge in Him lack no good thing. That holy fear is not panic; it is reverent clarity about authority and consequence that guards families and communities from avoidable harm.We press into practical wisdom from Proverbs: the wise welcome correction, mockers despise it. One soft answer can stop a feud before it starts. Then we zoom out to history and civic life, naming how ideologies form uneasy alliances against faith and liberty—and why spiritual renewal must lead cultural renewal. Noah Webster's counsel lands hard and helpful: Scripture shapes character better than any other book, and a people formed by the Bible are equipped for freedom, justice, and mercy. We close with the hope of eternal life in Christ, praying the Lord's Prayer and blessing families, marriages, and nations.If this encouraged you, share it with a friend, leave a quick review, and subscribe so you never miss new episodes.

Philosopher and writer Eamon Evans on humanity's relentless and impossible pursuit of happiness through materialism, social media and self help, and why the kindest and best people have been 'crushed by life' a couple of times.Eamon started to think more deeply about happiness and contentment in his 20s, after a bout of serious depression.He realised that trying to be happy all the time was paradoxically making him miserable, and says that's true for most of us in this modern world.Eamon began to trace the history of human's infatuation with being happy.What he found was that the story of humanity was tied up with other pursuits like survival, honour, virtue and discipline until very recently.Only in the 20th century did people start wanting to stop to smell the roses all the time, but Eamon says a permanent state of happiness impossible and emotionally counterproductive.In fact, our obsession with being happy is actually making us sad, and on top of that, it's making us sad about the fact that we're sad—a concept called 'meta-unhappiness'.Eamon acknowledges misery can sometimes be pathological, and it's important that lifesaving progress has been made on creating spaces here people can speak out and seek help.But in terms of daily, natural feelings of struggle, he says it's better to accept these as a normal part of human life, and look upon seasons of misery as miracles that build character, make us kinder, and more interesting.The Importance of Being Miserable is published by Simon and Schuster.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris, Executive Producer was Nicola Harrison.It explores advertising, marketing, smart phones, addiction, dopamine, serotonin, Gen Z, glimmers of hope, gratitude, being grateful, how to be grateful, gratitude journal, Buddhism, enlightenment, Mad Men, advertising, capitalism, mental health, mental wellbeing, self help books, religion, industrial revolution, greed, property, wants versus needs.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts. There you'll find hundreds of the best thought-provoking interviews with authors, writers, artists, politicians, psychologists, musicians, and celebrities.

We're exploring the second gate of grief from Francis Weller's framework: The Places That Have Not Known Love. Unlike the first gate (episode #249)—which dealt with more of the external losses—this gate turns inward to examine the parts of ourselves we've rejected, hidden, or banished in our need to belong. And this isn't about toxic positivity or pretending everything is fine. It's about integrating the messy, uncomfortable, angry, scared, "too much" parts of yourself—and discovering that when you love what you've rejected, it loses its grip over you.  p.s.

The Steptoons may have only played a small role in the Steps history books, but we've always wondered about the story behind their creation, and who was responsible for bringing them to life.Chris Melvin was the man behind the project, and the story of how he ended up working for Jive and creating the Steptoons is a fascinating chain of events. A chance meeting with the band on the set of the American One for Sorrow music video quite literally changed the course of his career.Why were they made? Was a TV cartoon in the works? A comic book? In this episode, we finally get all the answers.Steps Live in Philadelphia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQHIzHSY7jw&t=1sFollow ‘Glitter & Gold: The Original Steps Podcast':Instagram, TikTok & X: @glitterstepspodScott: @scottlove87Shane: @stepmeisterBrad: @bradszmerlingEmail: glitterstepspod@gmail.com Logo & Brand Design: BvrlyCreativeThis podcast is recorded on the land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation.

Sunday Afternoon - 8th Feb 2026 - Bro. Jon Benecke

As long as there has been music, the form has been used as a vehicle for storytelling. Artists who have something to say often find that putting it into music is the ideal means of communicating thoughts and feelings to others. And the concept-album form is a logical extension of that storytelling impulse, often writ large. It allows the writer to tackle bigger themes, more involved story lines, more finely textured characters and ideas. In the pages of What's the Big Idea? (Hozac, 2025), author Bill Kopp explores 30 remarkable concept albums, drawing on new, firsthand interviews with the artists behind their creation. Author of the critically acclaimed Disturbing the Peace, Kopp turns us down the darkest road of musical blind-spots yet, the concept album, a previously shunned genre, now worthy of your curiosity. And then you hear something like Ogden's Nut Gone Flake, and The Turtles Present Battle of the Bands, or S.F. Sorrow, and you're really second-guessing yourself now, right? As it turns out, there's something genuinely interesting about this “concept” in itself, and it lends us a look into a world when musical creativity really had been unleashed in its full glory. Yes, those extravagances produced much audio garbage, but very few people even get that chance anymore, despite the ease of home recording. Even Captain Sensible and The Church committed this ‘big ideas' into noteworthy efforts, along with Hawkwind, William Shatner, Ghostface Killa, and of course, Pete Townshend, who graciously offers an exclusive interview here. Bill Kopp is a freelance journalist and the author of Reinventing Pink Floyd: From Syd Barrett to the Dark Side of the Moon and Disturbing the Peace: 415 Records and the Rise of New Wave. Bill Kopp's website. Bradley Morgan is a media arts professional in Chicago and author of U2's The Joshua Tree: Planting Roots in Mythic America (Backbeat Books, 2021), Frank Zappa's America (LSU Press, 2025), and U2: Until the End of the World (Gemini Books, 2025).

“She was a beautiful person, loving and warm...She was down-to-earth, she loved to laugh, and everyone loved her.” - Marvin Gaye, on fellow Motown star and original Supreme Florence BallardThis week, the Dolls Pod presents the true story behind the Tony-winning musical “Dreamgirls,” and the very real woman that was its muse. Both Jennifer Holliday and Jennifer Hudson won Academy awards for their portrayals of Effie White, based on the fiery founder of the Supremes. Florence Ballard sang on 16 of their top 40 hits, and 9 of their number ones. But she did not have the happy ending Effie gets in “Dreamgirls.” She's often called “the Lost Supreme,” as she was virtually erased from the group's history. But as this episode will show you, Flo Ballard was anything but “just a backup singer.” She was brave in the face of hardship and a true trailblazer; the soul of Motown's first girl group. “Florence Ballard: The Real Effie White” is available wherever you stream your podcasts

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260204dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Matthew 5:4 Jesus Gives Us Comfort At first glance, Jesus’ words sound contradictory. Blessed are those who mourn? Most of us spend our days trying to avoid sorrow, rather than embracing it. We fill our schedules, distract our minds, and tighten our emotional armor so we don’t have to face the things that hurt. Mourning doesn’t feel like a blessing. It feels like breaking. But Jesus knows something we often forget. Sorrow has a way of bringing us to the end of ourselves so that we can find our beginning in him. When Jesus speaks of those who mourn, he certainly includes those weighed down by the griefs and losses that come with living in a broken world. But Jesus also speaks of a deeper mourning: sorrow over sin. There is a particular kind of ache that comes when God's Word exposes truths we’d rather not face. And here is Jesus’ promise: “They will be comforted.” Not “might be.” Not “if they pull themselves together.” They will be comforted. The comfort Jesus gives is not the shallow reassurance that things aren’t so bad. It is the deep comfort of forgiveness fully won at the cross. It is the comfort of a Savior who sits with you in the ashes and lifts your chin to remind you that your sins are nailed to his cross and cannot condemn you anymore. It is the comfort of a Shepherd who walks with you through the darkest valleys and promises that no grief will have the final word, not even death. His empty tomb guarantees it. So, if you live today with sorrow, whether sorrow over life’s wounds or sorrow over your own sin, hear Jesus’ gentle blessing. You are not abandoned, forgotten, or cursed. You are blessed because Christ comes near to comfort you with mercy that does not run dry. Prayer: Lord Jesus, teach me to bring my sorrows and my sins to you. Comfort me with your forgiveness, strengthen me with your presence, and fill my heart with the hope only you can give. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

In this episode, we're exploring the first of Francis Weller's Five Gates of Grief: "Everything we love, we will lose." This isn't just another depressing truth about life—it's a surprisingly liberating gateway to deeper love, presence, and joy. We'll share some stories and practical wisdom about how savoring practices can help us hold both love and loss simultaneously. Most importantly, we'll highlight why grief is a skill, not just a feeling, and you'll learn a simple five-minute micro-ritual for tending to loss before it accumulates. This conversation weaves together Buddhist teachings on impermanence, neuroscience research on grief and savoring, and the vital reminder that grief is absolutely a team sport.  p.s.

Half the other half is dancing and laughing and swimming in the invisible joy." — Rumi "We are all the walking wounded in a world that is a war zone. Everything we love will be taken from us.

If you have lived longer than five minutes on this planet you will have realised pain and delight, suffering and consolation, anguish and ecstacy co-exist. For a conservationist and pastor like David Anderson, the tension is all the more vivid. He has seen the places under his care, with their human and creaturely communities, thrive and flourish and also come under extreme pressure. In his own life David has faced a father's worst nightmare with the loss of his precious daughter Thea at only nine years old. With generosity and courage he shares some of what that experience cost him and why he is still open to the risk of loving what he could lose.Find out more about David and his work with A Rocha Canada at www.arocha.ca

In this episode, David Wollen welcomes Dr. Geoffrey Chang to explore how Spurgeon found enduring comfort in Christ, even in the midst of suffering.

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We're back to full strength this week, which led to one of our longest episodes in quite some time, so let's get right into the gaming goodies... We kick things off with some more Excite Truck action, after Kevin's recent gushing compelled Randall to scoop up a copy of his own — and also compelled Kevin to check out the game's follow-up, ExciteBots: Trick Racing. After that, we talk a little more GBA Castlevania, as Randall polishes off Aria of Sorrow, before moving onto Harmony of Dissonance. Finally, John closes us out with his first (and final) impressions of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond — a release that he, and many others, have been eagerly anticipating since it was first announced WAY back in 2017, and a whopping 18 years after the previous entry in the series.   Timestamps: Excite Truck  -  00:01:18 ExciteBots: Trick Racing  -  00:08:59 Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow  -  00:16:23 Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance  -  00:19:18 Metroid Prime 4: Beyond  -  00:25:17   Thanks for taking the time to listen!  If you'd like to find us elsewhere on the Internet, you can find us at:   

John 16:12-24. From the "Gospel of John - Part II" sermon series. Preached by Stephen Baker.

In this introduction to our 10-part grief series, we'll explain why a podcast about joy is diving deep into grief—and why you can't truly have joy without grief. During this series, we'll mainly lean on Francis Weller's "gates of grief." And importantly, as we move through these gates, the goal is not to help you "get over it" or rush through some prescribed grief stages so you can dismiss "bad" feelings. Instead, we'll explore more about the healing power of grief, how you can see and accept loss with less resistance, and we'll share some practices and realistic ways you can build skills to navigate grief in more nourishing ways.  p.s.

Romans 9 opens with one of the most heart-wrenching statements in all of Scripture—Paul declares he would be willing to be cursed and cut off from Christ if it meant his Jewish brothers and sisters would find salvation. This isn't just rhetoric; it's the cry of a heart that mirrors God's own desire for the lost. We're confronted with an uncomfortable question: Do we carry this same burden for those who don't know Jesus? The passage challenges us to examine whether our faith has made us complacent or compassionate. Paul reminds us that Israel had everything—the covenants, the law, the prophets, the promises—yet they stumbled over the stumbling stone of Jesus Christ. This isn't just ancient history; it's a mirror for our own lives. We can have all the religious heritage, church attendance, and biblical knowledge in the world, but if we haven't built our lives on Jesus as the chief cornerstone, we've missed everything. The message is clear: when we stand before God, the only answer that matters begins with 'He'—Jesus paid our price. Everything else, every 'I did this' or 'my family was that,' falls short. This passage invites us to move from offense to foundation, from stumbling over Christ to building our entire existence upon Him.### Sermon Notes:**Introduction:**- The sermon is focused on Romans 9:1-5, discussing Paul's deep sorrow and fervent desire for the Israelites to recognize Jesus as the Messiah.- Paul expresses a willingness to be accursed if it meant the salvation of his fellow Jews.**Key Points:**1. **Recap of Romans 1-8:**  - Chapters 1-8 outline that all have sinned and salvation comes only through Jesus Christ, resulting in no condemnation for believers.  2. **Paul's Anguish for the Israelites:**  - Paul is deeply sorrowful, wishing he could take the place of his Jewish brethren to ensure their salvation.  - This mirrors Moses in Exodus who offered to be blotted out for the sake of his people.3. **Moses and the Israelites:**  - The story of the golden calf in Exodus 32 illustrates Israel's disobedience and idolatry.  - Despite their failures, Moses interceded for them, showing a type and shadow of Christ's ultimate sacrifice.4. **Jesus as the Anathema:**  - Unlike Moses or Paul, Jesus fulfilled the role of being accursed by taking on the sins of humanity.  - He becomes the cornerstone of faith as opposed to a stumbling block for those who reject Him.5. **Israel and the Rejection of Jesus:**  - Israel was given statutes, laws, and prophets but rejected Christ, who was predicted throughout their history.  - However, there remains a future hope for Israel's recognition of Christ as the Messiah.**Practical Applications:**- **Reflect on Sacrifice and Compassion:** - Emulate Paul's and Moses' compassion by earnestly praying for those who do not know Christ. - Contemplate the sacrificial nature of Jesus and how it can inspire personal sacrifice for others.- **Firm Foundation in Christ:** - Ensure that Christ is the cornerstone upon which all aspects of life are built. - Align personal life choices and behaviors with the teachings of the Bible.- **Discern and Preach the Gospel:** - Continue to share the message of the cross despite facing ridicule or opposition. - Use opportunities to discuss the faith and exemplify Christ-likeness in actions and words.**Discussion Questions:**1. How do the desires of Paul and Moses for their people challenge our own priorities and prayers for the unsaved?2. In what ways can we ensure that Jesus is the cornerstone in our lives rather than a stumbling block?3. How can the story of the golden calf teach us about obedience and faithfulness in our current cultural context?4. What are practical ways we can intercede for others, following the examples of Paul, Moses, and ultimately Jesus?These notes, applications, and questions encourage a deep reflection on personal faith, the role of Jesus as a savior, and our mission to live out and share the gospel.

SEGMENT 1 • Our church is currently without any qualified men to lead worship. Is it sinful for a woman to step into the role of worship leader? - Austin SEGMENT 2 • When Jesus taught in parables, was he teaching allegorically? - Chuck • Would you recommend Tim Challies' book “Season of Sorrow” to a family who is grieving a loss but are not believers? - Matt • Paul makes clear in Romans that everyone, deep down, has knowledge that God exists. When there are, for example, unreached Amazonian tribes that worship a sun-god, will they be punished for worshiping the wrong god, although they acknowledge that a god exists? - Steven SEGMENT 3 • Are Christians obligated to stay in, or return to, a marriage where physical abuse has occurred? - Anonymous SEGMENT 4 • The pastor of a church we are interested in joining doesn't seem very interested in evangelism or growing the church body.

God held nothing back in either the description of His people's sin, nor in His judgment guaranteed for them. They had acted in terrible ways, committing spiritual harlotry against the God who loved them and who provided for them. Thus, His judgment would consume them. What do we do with difficult chapters such as these? […]

In this lecture, Ian, one of the pastors, explores the themes of repentance and transformation as presented in Matthew's Gospel, specifically focusing on the figures of John the Baptist and Jesus. The session begins with a reading from Matthew 3:1-6 and 4:17, which sets the groundwork for the discussion on the importance of turning away from sin and towards God, encapsulating the central message of repentance that both John and Jesus proclaim.Ian reflects on the historical context of the time, recalling a turbulent period in 1858 Manhattan. He illustrates the inner turmoil of a man who, while contemplating dark actions, finds himself in a prayer meeting led by Jeremiah Lamphere, where the genuine confessions and prayers of other attendees move him toward repentance. This powerful personal narrative emphasizes how collective spiritual encounters can lead to profound life changes, underscoring the impact of community in the act of repentance and the transformation that often follows.Shifting focus to the text from Matthew's Gospel, Ian outlines how John the Baptist, dressed in a manner that evokes the prophetic tradition, preaches the urgent message: “Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the kingdom of heaven is near.” He draws attention to the stark contrast between the religious elite of Jerusalem and the common people who heed John's call. The wilderness becomes a symbol of purification and preparation, framing repentance not merely as a change of mind but as a holistic transformation involving heart, mind, and behavior.Ian emphasizes how the concept of repentance is deeply relational, rooted in the acknowledgment of one's sin against God. He explains that true repentance involves a turning towards God, which requires both an internal and external orientation. This is exemplified through the analogy of his own travels, illustrating that recognizing one's faulty direction leads to deliberate change. As he delves into various historical revivals, he highlights how each transformative movement is characterized by collective repentance, reminding listeners that throughout history, turning back to God has drawn His presence into communities.Furthermore, the lecture discusses the significance of baptism as a symbolic act of repentance and a transition into a renewed relationship with God, paralleling the Exodus narrative where God's people experienced transformation through physical crossings. In doing so, Ian contemplates the urgency behind John's ministry, calling God's people to undergo a similar spiritual Exodus—leaving behind ingrained practices that stray from God's ways.As Ian transitions toward a conclusion, he encourages attendees to evaluate their relationship with God and the state of their hearts, inviting them to engage in personal acts of repentance. He offers an affirmation that true repentance is liberative and brings about healing within both individual lives and the broader community. The session highlights that repentance is not a one-time act but an ongoing, essential practice for a vibrant relationship with God, inviting listeners to embrace this transformative journey.In the closing remarks, listeners are encouraged to take personal steps toward restoration, be it through direct repentance or intercession on behalf of others. Ian underscores that the kindness of God leads to repentance, unlocking the potential for renewal both personally and collectively, as they seek to inhabit a community characterized by grace and support, fostering an environment where turning toward God becomes a natural response.

Inglourious Basterds (2009), written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, revolves around two plots to assassinate Nazi leaders during the closing years of World War II. One plot centers on a secret band of Jewish-American soldiers under the command of Ltn. Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt)—the “Basterds”—who terrorize Nazis. The other involves Shosanna Dreyfus (Melanie Laurent), a young Jewish woman who narrowly escapes death at the hands of notorious “Jew hunter” Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz) and flees to Paris where she runs a cinema under a false identity. The plot lines converge at the Paris cinema where the Basterds and Shosanna are each separately plotting to kill Hitler and other Nazi leaders while they are attending the premiere of a German propaganda film. The film utilizes alternate history to explore themes surrounding the pursuit of justice against the perpetrators of mass atrocities and the complex relationship between law and vengeance.Timestamps:0:00    Introduction2:37     Reimagining the arc of justice8:00     Alternatives to the progress narrative16:51     The power of violence and revenge21:56     Counterfactuals and alternative histories27:03     The limits of legalistic responses to atrocities32:24     The role of cinema in Nazi Germany39:00     Narratives of progress44:10     Ending with a primal moment of revenge  Further reading:Hussain, Nadine, “‘Inglorious Basterds': A Satirical Criticism of WWII Cinema and the Myth of the American War Hero,” 13(2) Inquiries Journal 1 (2021)Jackson, Robert H., Opening Statement before the International Military Tribunal, Robert H.

Dan takes us to downtown Dallas, across from Union Station, to an old hotel that's changed names so many times it's like it keeps trying to hide from its past. Room 1009 doesn't seem to care what the hotel is called, though. Stories of encounters with its ghosts remain unchanged. The room allegedly has a long, sordid history of murders and suspicious deaths tied to it. Then we explore the lore of the elegant Adolphous Hotel. It's been collecting tragedy since the first month it opened. On the nineteenth floor, guests still report hearing a woman sobbing like her heart is breaking in real time. Lynze starts off with a possible Grim Reaper sighting on the night of a confirmed death. Then, we head to Key West AKA Bone Island, for a ghost tour with an actual ghost. Lastly, on a long drive home after a long week of work, a man encounters someone who seems to have wandered out of their final resting place. Do you want to get all of our episodes a WEEK early, ad free?

Episode Summary:In the second part of our deep dive into the origins of the Soviet famine, Nick continues his exploration of 1928-1929, the critical years that sealed the fate of the Russian peasantry.Drawing again on Robert Conquest's The Harvest of Sorrow, we examine how Stalin's "emergency measures"—intended to be temporary—became a permanent war on the countryside. Why did the Bolsheviks believe that the "middle peasant" was a capitalist hoarder? How did the regime's reliance on bad data lead to a spiral of confiscation and violence that destroyed the incentives to produce food?We uncover the tragic logic of a state that viewed market mechanisms as a threat and chose instead to loot its own people, setting the stage for the catastrophic famine of the early 1930s.Plus: A reminder for history students!
