The narrative of Luke 23 brings us to the final threshold of Lent: the hill of Golgotha. Unlike other passages, the crucifixion narrative doesn't ask primarily for our analysis, but our presence—it invites us to put away our quest for answers and to simply stay, watch, and witness. On the road to the cross, we see Jesus' raw humanity as He stumbles under the weight of a Roman cross, yet His heart remains that of a Shepherd as He warns and loves the weeping women of Jerusalem. We see Simon of Cyrene—a stranger from North Africa—conscripted into the literal work of discipleship: carrying the cross behind Jesus.At the hill, Luke's account is masterfully restrained, focusing not on the graphic nails, but on the voices surrounding the King. In the face of mockery and temptation to save Himself, Jesus chooses silence so that He might save us. He intercedes for His executioners and promises paradise to a dying thief, dismantling every religious system that says grace must be earned. Finally, as darkness falls over the land, we witness the "Day of the Lord" and the wrath of God landing on the Son in our place. The curtain is torn, the barrier is gone, and the King falls asleep in His Father's arms, breathing out a prayer of perfect surrender.Support the show
In the final movements before the cross, Luke leads us into a series of trials where the roles are strangely reversed. While Jesus stands as the accused before Peter, the Sanhedrin, Pilate, and Herod, it is actually the hearts of those around Him that are being put on trial. Zach observed that while everyone else in the story is hiding behind lies, cowardice, or twisted words, Jesus remains the ultimate truth-teller. He displays a quiet, restrained strength, submitting to a corrupt process to fulfill a mission of radical grace.The most piercing moment occurs not in a courtroom, but in a courtyard. As the rooster crows, marking Peter's third denial, Jesus turns and looks straight at him. This was not a look of "I told you so," but a look of compassionate, knowing grief. In that gaze, Peter was fully seen in his deepest weakness, causing him to "break" into a sob of intense grief. This internal admission—knowing one's own failure in the presence of a loving Savior—is the prerequisite for the practice of confession. Jesus proves Himself to be the safest person in the world to whom we can bring our brokenness, because He was already in the process of carrying the very sins we are afraid to name.Support the show
The narrative of Luke 22 shifts from the communal atmosphere of the Upper Room to the isolated intensity of the Mount of Olives. While the Table was the site where the New Covenant was announced, Gethsemane was the site where that covenant was fleshed-out in the sweat and blood of surrender. Joel pointed out that Jesus went to the garden "as was His custom." He didn't have to find a place to pray when the crisis hit; He already knew the path because of a lifetime of habitual communion with the Father.In the garden, we see the New Adam face the same test as the first: will He trust the Father or grasp for control? Jesus' prayer—"Remove this cup... yet not my will, but Yours"—is the most honest prayer ever recorded. It teaches us that honesty with God is not the opposite of faith; it is the prerequisite of surrender. We also saw the sharp contrast between the ways of man and the ways of God: when the threat arrives, Peter reaches for a sword and acts in violence, while Jesus reaches for the wound, healing His enemy, even as His own hour of darkness and pain begins.Support the show
This week, Joel invited us to consider the liminal space of the Upper Room. Here, the Old Covenant takes its final breath and the New Covenant bursts to life. Jesus orchestrates the meal with a strange, unmistakable sign: a man carrying a water jar. In a culture where women typically carried water, this was a "red umbrella in a crowd," signaling that the way of Jesus cannot be programmed or reduced to a formula—it must be followed. At the table, Jesus reveals the depth of His heart with an intense Hebrew expression: "With desire I have desired" (meaning, "I have been aching for this moment"). Despite knowing the betrayal and suffering ahead, His primary focus is not dread, but a longing to be with His people—a longing to see the people He has made be brought back to Himself. By taking the bread and the cup, He rewrites a 1,400-year-old script. The Passover no longer just points back to the exodus from Egypt; it points to Him—the Lamb of God who clears the way for us to finally come home from the exile of sin.Support the show
This week, Joel focused in on the “cleansing of the Temple” in Luke 19. Jesus moves from weeping at the city gates into the Temple courts. While we often view the "cleansing of the Temple" as an act of rage, Luke reframes it as an act flowing out of deep grief. Jesus wasn't just moving furniture; He was interrupting a pattern where utility had displaced the presence of God. The religious systems of the day had colonized the Court of the Gentiles—the only space where outsiders could encounter God—with insider commerce and religious transactions.Joel suggested that what we do with sacred space reveals who or what we actually worship. Our bodies, our time, our relationships, and our homes were designed for holy encounter, yet we often repurpose them for mere utility or "to-do" lists. Jesus clears the space not to punish us, but to restore us. He is reclaiming the vineyard from tenants who have forgotten that they are stewards, not owners.Support the show
This week we explored Palm Sunday through Luke 19, where in the middle of the cheering crowds, Jesus weeps — because they were celebrating the wrong kind of salvation. They wanted a political conqueror; He came as a humble King bringing peace through the cross. We learned that Lent is the season to stop pretending everything is fine, and that practicing lament — honestly facing brokenness — is what allows us to truly understand and experience the resurrection.Support the show
Cameo introduced us to the concept of "liminal space"—the threshold between what was and what is next. Whether it's a career change, a health crisis, or the "Already, but Not Yet" of the Christian life, these in-between seasons are often uncomfortable. However, Lent reminds us that the wilderness is not a place of punishment, but a "workshop of character." Through the stories of Moses, Elijah, and Jesus, we see that God uses the quiet and pressure of the wilderness to establish our identity as his beloved children, calm our fears with his presence, and nourish us for the spiritual battles ahead. Rather than rushing to Easter, we are invited to sit honestly in our hunger and grief, allowing God to meet us in the gentle whisper of the wilderness.Support the show
Paul Jarley: It's Space Week at UCF and I'm like a kid in a candy store. So many questions. For one, everyone's talking about going to Mars, but why? What problem are we solving? What does Mars offer that other planets or the moons don't? And if the answer is survival or curiosity, does that really require an economy, people trading air, power and data in some kind of cosmic barter system? Or is Mars just a science project? Let's be real. Most moms or dads did their kids science projects. Nobody ever monetized anything from any of them. This show is all about separating hype from fundamental change. I'm Paul Jarley, Dean of the College of Business here at UCF. I've got lots of questions. To get answers, I'm talking to people with interesting insights into the future of business. Have you ever wondered, Is This Really a Thing? On to our show. In the past few years, the College has been undergoing a transformation. We've been asked to build a Business School that's a key asset to Florida's leading engineering and technology university. That's meant bringing in people who are a little different from our typical pragmatic, data-driven faculty. The ones who teach students to manage people and PNLs. A few of these new faces can fairly be called dreamers. One of them is Zaheer Ali. He, along with Greg Autry is leading our space commercialization efforts, including our space MBA. It's not a nickname, it's a space MBA. As we were setting up for Space Week, Z claimed that a Martian economy would really be a thing. Well, he said something like that. I gave him a skeptical look, he countered with a panel of experts. Listen in. Zaheer Ali: Well, thank you Dean Jarley. I like to say that, you know, in our business, we turn sci-fi into sci-reality. And one of the people who helps make sci-fi and is now helping make science reality is Danica Vallone of the Making Space Agency. Her path to space is very interesting coming from Hollywood of things like costumes and sets of such high fidelity and accuracy that the space industry said we need some of that. In my time at NASA, one of the things we did was we always built very high fidelity simulators and simulation systems to prepare people and equipment for the challenges of the space environment. So welcome Danica. Danica Vallone: Thank you very much. Zaheer Ali: We also have Dr. Pascal Lee of the Mars Institute, of the SETI Institute, one of the leading planetary scientists in the US and indeed the world Co-Chair of the National Space Society Space Settlement Summit and International Space Development Conference. Welcome, sir. Paul Jarley: So I'm going to start this conversation by asking the same question I ask anybody who pitches me an idea, what problem does this solve? If you're going to Mars and establishing an economy, what problem does that solve? Danica Vallone: Mars expert over here should probably have first crack. Pascal Lee: This is an interesting way to frame the question. I'm not interested in space exploration to solve a problem. I'm interested in drawn to space exploration and Mars exploration in particular because as a scientist, I'm interested in this quest for life. We often say we're looking for life on Mars. What we fail to specify is that we're looking for the first example of an alien form of life. And we're not talking about little green men or some intelligent form of life. We know that Mars hasn't had that in its history, but we're looking for another example of life. A different biology from ours. All life on earth is connected and going to Mars would solve possibly that problem, which is how alone are we? Is there some other form of life even within our own solar system? That would solve the problem in the sense of giving us a fuller perspective of what we mean here on Earth. What are we as a phenomenon in the universe? Are we something really exceptional? Are we common? So that's the scientific quest that I think would be solved by g...

Ireland's fascination with the cosmos takes centre stage from 4-10 October 2025 as Space Week Ireland returns with a new theme, "Living in Space." Coordinated by MTU Blackrock Castle Observatory (BCO), the week invites students, families, community groups, artists, engineers and the wider space community to explore how life on Earth can inform life beyond it - from caves and controlled habitats to stars, galaxies, black holes and supernovas. Many events are free, with others ticketed locally. The programme blasts off with a Space Week Roadtrip, bringing astronauts and science communicators directly into communities across the country to spark imagination and curiosity. Former NASA astronaut Dan Tani will be joined on the road by Dr Niall Smith, Head of Research, MTU and Head of Blackrock Castle Observatory, for a series of public and school engagements across Cork, Kerry and Limerick from Saturday, 4 to Tuesday, 7 October. Space Week Ireland celebrations get underway on Saturday 4 October (10:00-13:00) with a family-friendly Space Week Festival at the Cork School of Music.. Audiences will hear first-hand about life in space from Dan Tani, delve into the hazards of space living with Dr Lisa McNamee, and explore the impact of high-energy particles (like the sun) on human health with Dr Josh Reynolds. Interactive displays and hands-on workshops will bring science to life for children and families. On Monday 6 October, the Road Trip visits Tralee Library, Co. Kerry for a special primary school session titled 'Living in Space, with NASA astronaut Dan Tani and astronomer Dr. Niall Smith' (10 am-1.30 pm) Join NASA Astronaut Dan Tani as he shares his experiences from living onboard the international Space Station (ISS) and Dr. Niall Smith, an astronomer and space scientist about the future prospects of living in space. That evening at 7 pm, the team arrives at the University of Limerick for a public event hosted with the UL Rocketry Society. The Limerick programme continues on Tuesday, 7 October, at Mary Immaculate College, with primary school sessions followed by a general public talk on the topic of living in space (1:10-1:55 pm). Further Space Week events - including talks, workshops and stargazing nights - will run nationwide. Highlights include an ESERO Ireland Space Careers Roadshow at MTU Blackrock Castle Observatory in Cork, a NASA Space Apps event in Athlone, Space Week activities at Galway Atlantaquaria, and "The Stars and the Universe Beyond" evening at Maynooth University. Explore the full programme at spaceweek.ie/events. Each event opens a doorway to larger questions: how extreme conditions shape resilience, how we might design to survive, and how Ireland's next generation can chart unlimited pathways - through the joy of space-related hobbies or through research and careers in STEM and the space industry. "Living and working in space is one of the most extraordinary experiences a human being can have," said Dan Tani, former NASA astronaut. "You see Earth from orbit and realise how fragile and beautiful it really is. Being involved with the Space Week Ireland Road Trip gives me the chance to share that perspective - not just the adventure of floating in zero gravity, but the ingenuity, teamwork, and resilience it takes to thrive in such an extreme environment. I hope it inspires students here in Ireland to see themselves as part of humanity's journey to the stars." Dr Niall Smith commented, "The challenge of living in space is moving from short-term habitability of a small number of people in space stations to longer-term colonisation of villages of people on the Moon and ultimately Mars and perhaps beyond. There are enormous challenges in meeting this vision to become a multi-planet species, but equally, there are enormous opportunities. Rarely has human living in space been more exciting."

It is a rare opportunity to hear about a mission to space firsthand from any NASA astronaut, and Euclid, Ohio, native Sunita "Suni" Williams certainly has an extraordinary experience to share. On June 5, 2024, she was launched on the new Boeing Starliner spacecraft for what was intended to be an eight-day mission on the International Space Station (ISS). It ended up being a nine-month stay after technical issues forced the spacecraft to return to Earth uncrewed. While her timeline aboard the ISS faced uncertainty, Williams' work and commitment to science and innovation never wavered. Together with the crew, she completed more than 900 hours of research between more than 150 unique scientific experiments during her stay.rnrnThroughout her three-decade career, Williams has logged 608 days in space over her three flights. She has also completed 62 hours and 6 minutes of total spacewalk time. That's the most of any female astronaut, and fourth on NASA's all-time list.rnrnModerating the conversation is astronaut Douglas H. Wheelock. Like his colleague Sunita, he was also selected by NASA in 1998. On October 23, 2007, Wheelock launched on his first spaceflight aboard Space Shuttle Discovery. The retired Colonel has accumulated more than 178 days in space.rnrnTo mark Ohio Space Week, and in partnership with Great Lakes Science Center, join us for an inspiring conversation between two NASA astronauts - Sunita L. Williams and Doug H. Wheelock - on what it takes to live and work in zero gravity, and the importance of space exploration today.

As part of Space Week Ireland 2024, Atlantaquaria Galway is set to host an exciting and thought-provoking event on Monday, 7th October, exploring how life in Earth's oceans could provide clues to what alien life might look like on distant worlds. Joining the event will be former NASA astronaut Steve Swanson, alongside a team of experts from MTU Blackrock Castle Observatory. They will lead discussions on how the unique conditions found in Earth's deep oceans - such as extreme pressure, darkness, and temperatures - can help inform our understanding of potential life beneath the icy surfaces of moons like Europa, one of Jupiter's fascinating satellites. This sold-out event is part of a weeklong national road trip with Steve Swanson and the organisers of Space Week Ireland and will also stop in Cork, Offaly, Dublin, and Kildare, connecting communities across Ireland with the wonders of space. As NASA's Europa Clipper mission prepares to investigate Jupiter's icy moon Europa, questions about the possibility of life in alien oceans have captured imaginations. Europa is believed to have a vast subsurface ocean beneath its frozen crust, and similar environments may exist on other moons in our solar system. By studying how organisms survive in Earth's extreme marine environments, scientists hope to gain insights into what life might look like in these extraterrestrial oceans. This event will take attendees on a journey through these scientific parallels. Running from 4th to 10th October, Space Week Ireland is an annual celebration of Ireland's involvement in space research and innovation, aiming to inspire people of all ages to explore the universe. This year's road trip, led by MTU Blackrock Castle Observatory, will bring space exploration to life in new and exciting ways with interactive events, talks, and live-streamed sessions across the country. Space Week highlights the importance of space research for advancing knowledge not only about the universe but also about life on Earth. As part of this year's focus, the Galway event will emphasise the link between Earth's oceans and the ongoing search for life beyond our planet, making it a must-see for anyone interested in science, space, and the possibility of extraterrestrial life. Atlantaquaria Galway Event Details: Date: Monday, 7th October 2024 Location: Atlantiquaria Galway Special Guest: Former NASA Astronaut Steve Swanson Hosted By: MTU Blackrock Castle Observatory and Space Week Ireland Team Livestream: This event is sold out, but you can still follow the event live on the MTU Blackrock Castle Observatory YouTube channel Check out the livestream to dive into the mysteries of the cosmos and explore the deep-sea wonders of Earth that may mirror those of distant planets!

The 4th of October marks the start of Space Week and the Explorium in Sandyford is hosting a range of special events this week in celebration.And someone who is taking part and is no stranger to space is former astronaut Daniel Tani, who joins Kieran to discuss.
Space Week Ireland is an annual event celebrating Ireland's involvement in space exploration, innovation, and science. Coordinated by MTU Blackrock Castle Observatory, it runs in tandem with World Space Week, which aims to inspire the public, especially young people, to look to the stars and consider the impact of space research on life on Earth. This year, from 4th to 10th October, Space Week Ireland will embrace the global theme of 'Space and Climate', exploring the crucial intersection of space exploration and climate action. A series of events will raise awareness about how space science and technology can play a vital role in combating climate change. A flagship event, which puts this theme into focus, will take place at Explorium in Dublin on Wednesday, 9th October, from 11 am -1 pm, focusing on how space research can inform climate action. The event will feature insights from leading science communicator Dr Niamh Shaw, as well as a talk and Q&A session with former NASA astronaut Steve Swanson. Attendees will also experience Explorium's climate change-themed 'Cool It' interactive exhibition, which showcases innovative solutions to climate issues and demonstrates how lessons from space exploration can be applied here on Earth. The exhibition takes participants on a 40-minute journey that starts with an energy consumption questionnaire and an impactful climate video. Guests will then enter a model world where they face a challenge - a race to 2050 - and score points based on their choices. At the end, scores are uploaded to a spaceship, revealing the changes needed to achieve a more sustainable future. Participants will even learn how their actions can help save trees and mitigate environmental impact. Mark Langtry, Head of Sport and Science at Explorium, will open the event. Mark has studied Theoretical Physics and Climate Science so Space and Climate is very important to him and his work. He says, "I'm thrilled that this year's Space Week is centred on Space and Climate Change. Space exploration can teach us more about other worlds, but also provides a unique view of our own planet, using earth observation satellites to monitor climate change and track its impact. Our new exhibition 'Cool It' explores our changing climate and empowers us to make a positive change through fun interactive games and challenges. We hope during Space Week everyone can come and enjoy the experience." Rob O'Sullivan, National Outreach Coordinator for Space Week Ireland, commented: "In line with the broader World Space Week theme, Space Week Ireland aims to draw connections between space technologies, planetary observation, and environmental sustainability. From satellites monitoring Earth's climate to the innovations pioneered on the International Space Station (ISS), space research offers a unique perspective on how we can tackle the challenges of climate change on a planetary scale." Throughout Space Week Ireland, the team will be joined by former NASA Astronaut Steve Swanson as they embark on a national roadshow, starting at MTU Blackrock Castle Observatory in Cork and making stops in Galway, Offaly, Kildare, and Dublin. These events, including the flagship Dublin event on 9th October, will illustrate how space technologies, such as Earth Observation satellites, help us monitor climate change on a planetary scale. This data is critical for tracking the health of our atmosphere, oceans, and ecosystems, enabling better-informed climate action policies. Beyond this tour, Space Week Ireland will feature a variety of activities across the country, providing opportunities for all ages to engage with space science.

Episode 148 | "There's a checklist here copper!" This week's REMelations starts with Brooke diving into a wild dream from Liz. She's casually strolling down a dim alley when suddenly, cops swarm the scene, aggressively coming at her for no clear reason. It feels like a case of mistaken identity, but why the intensity? Brooke and Mindy unpack the dream's strange vibes, trying to make sense of it all. Then it's time for Catnaps, where the dream chaos continues. We've got a séance guide dog, some bizarre superpower training with your boss, a cruise ship running aground, the memory of a really bad beer aftertaste, and—of course—pixelated demons causing trouble. Mindy and Brooke bring their usual laughs while sharing these odd dream scenarios. Mindy wraps things up with something that's always fascinated her: astronauts in space. She gets into the nitty-gritty of how astronauts sleep and get ready for bed while floating around the International Space Station. Plus, what do astronauts even dream about up there? Mindy can't help but wonder if their dreams are as out-of-this-world as their view. Catch all the laughs, weird dreams, and space facts in Episode 148 of REMelations!

Ireland is set to become the epicentre of astronomical wonder and scientific innovation once again as Space Week Ireland returns from 4th-10th October 2024. This year's festival is set to be even more out of this world, with Astronaut Steve Swanson joining the celebrations on a nationwide road trip, bringing the cosmos to communities across the country. Space Week Ireland is part of the global annual celebration of space, designed to promote space science, technology, and exploration. Coordinated by MTU Blackrock Castle Observatory, the festival aims to inspire the next generation of space enthusiasts, foster collaboration within the aerospace community, and showcase Ireland's growing footprint in the global space industry. Space Week Ireland 2024 promises an exhilarating blend of education, exploration, and entertainment with events throughout the country for all ages. Whether you're a seasoned astronomer, a curious student, or simply someone who marvels at the night sky, this year's program has something extraordinary in store. Ireland ranks second per capita for hosting Space Week events globally, with Irish space enthusiasts showing unparalleled interest. Rob O'Sullivan, National Outreach Coordinator for Space Week Ireland, explained, "There's something in Irish culture that draws us to the stars. With a rich history of contributing to space science - including having the world's largest telescope for 70 years - it's no surprise we embrace Space Week so enthusiastically." "Today, Irish scientists continue to contribute to cutting-edge research at organisations such as the European Space Agency and European Southern Observatory, while Irish companies such as Réaltra Space Systems Engineering and Enbio are taking advantage of the incredible opportunities presented by the growing global space industry.

Buckle up as we unpack a year that's been nothing short of astronomical. From the 211 rockets that kissed the sky to the Starlink constellation's ever-expanding network, we've got insight on SpaceX's trials and tribulations including Starship.Rocket science isn't just for the big players; we're zooming in on the underdogs and their strides, too. Relativity Space's 3D printed marvel, Terran 1, has made history, and we're already counting down to their Terran R. But it's not all about the launches; we've got the scoop on Rocket Lab's Electron and the logistical ballet of ISS resupply missions. From the contrasting fates of Virgin Galactic and Virgin Orbit to Axiom's sleek new spacesuits – it's a universe of innovation we're exploring.Finally, we're setting the controls for the heart of science with ESA's Juice and Euclid missions, poised to unravel Jupiter's secrets and the cosmic web of dark matter. And if the James Webb Space Telescope's snapshots have you starry-eyed, just wait until you hear about our sun's feisty flare-ups and the star-chomping phenomena out there. Plus, we're venturing into the unknown following the UAP congressional hearing – it's a space odyssey that has us questioning if we're truly alone in the vast expanse. So, join us on SpaceWeek for a galactic recap that promises to be out of this world.
