Join us this Sunday as Pastor Sal continues our series in Hebrews, reminding us to: 1️⃣ Remember How God Sustained You 2️⃣ Rest on God's Promises 3️⃣ Redirect Your Focus on God's Reward 4️⃣ Respond to God in Persevering Faith
We review the Best Skis for the new 2026 winter season, covering the best piste skis, best all mountain skis and freeride skis. Host Iain Martin was joined by The Ski Podcast's equipment expert Al Morgan. Tirol in Austria sponsors The Ski Podcast, which means that this winter we'll be able to find out more about some of the great destinations in Tirol, and how you can connect with the wonderful ‘feeling of life' there. SHOW NOTES Iain and Al will be at the London Snow Show in October (3:00) Best Skis of 2026 means the best skis of winter 2025/26 (4:00) What are the different types of skis (4:15) How important is that figure for width under your foot? (7:45) What is meant by ‘side cut'? (10:00) What is a ‘rocker? (12:00) How long should your skis be? (15:15) Is sustainability still important in ski production? (18:45) The Ski Sustainability Forum is organised by POW, Atomic and FESI (21:00) When and where did testing take place? (22:15) SIGB is the Snowsport Industries of Great Britain (22:45) Most testing takes place at SIGB's annual ski test in La Clusaz (23:15) How much do bindings cost? (25:00) THE BEST PISTE SKIS OF WINTER 2026 K2 Blur 74 W (women) (26:30) £600 / 148cm-169cm Blur is K2's new piste ski range for winter 25/26. The 74W has a little lift through the front and back, is built around their aspen wood core and uses Flax with channels milled into it. They only do this in this ski and the Blur 79W to enhance agility. It should also save a little weight, although the 74 is about performance and a perfect partner for advanced and expert female skiers shredding the groomers. It has a 13.9m radius in the longest length and testers reported it as silky smooth, easy to ski yet snappy, with great boost turn-to-turn. It's super reactive underfoot, quick to pivot and rotate for short turns. Nordica Dobermann Multipista DC FDT (29:00) £930 including binding, 160cm-185cm The Multipista is new for this season, focussed equally on fun and performance. It may look similar to the Steadfast skis in its outline, but there's a lot more going on than simply a curvy figure. It has Dobermann in the name, which hints at this ski's powerful drive, and when you open the throttle you're rewarded by the bucketload! The rise though the front and back, paired with the taper at each end, means you never feel like your locked into a turn. It can lay trenches on the groomers, but if you want to nip off the side, take on some slush or get a little airtime, it's as composed as you could ask for. It's built around their Energy 2 Ti Double Core (DC) construction. An elastomer layer is sandwiched between two beech and poplar wood cores, beefed up by two layers of Titanal metal, one above the wood-elastomer sandwich and one below. Even though Nordica states the ski as having a Full Camber Profile, it has a longer rise through the shovel and tail than a regular full camber ski. This rocker profile is part of the Multipista's magic, bringing a delightfully versatile nature. The tapered profile through the shovel and tail further adds to its performance across a range of conditions. The 74mm waist width, in all lengths, partners with their race on-piste shape underfoot for confidence-rocketing grip. This width is bang-on the money, with plenty of punch through the edge and enough float and stability to tackle a broad array of terrain and snow conditions. THE BEST ALL MOUNTAIN SKIS OF WINTER 2026 Völkl V.Werks 100(32:00) £1,750 flat, 170cm-186cm Völkl has taken all they've learnt from ski manufacturing and turned the dial up to eleven with this ski! The company was founded in 1923, and in honour of this they have made exactly 1923 of these skis, with a retail price of €1923. This ski is see-through. If you place your hand behind the ski, when holding it up to the light, you can see where your hand is. It's quite spectacular. It also highlights the complex structure they've perfected for the fibre placement. They combine carbon and natural flax fibres, which work in harmony with the superb 3D H-Woodcore. This is made of two enviro friendly FSC-certified poplar and beech cores, with a central reinforcement, and this all has a very noticeable and technical 3D shape. The fibres, translucent layer and wood core allows the designers to transfer the movements and forces from the skier through the ski and to the edges, for a ridiculously intuitive control. You get a regular camber underfoot but enough rocker in the shovel and tail for a mega-versatile shape. Atomic Maven 88 CTI (Women) (35:00) £570 without bindings, 147cm-172cm This ski is based around an ash and poplar wood core, boosted by the addition of carbon and Titanal. These laminates add greater damping and energy to the ski, whilst helping to keep the ski light. The change of shape through the shovel, as we saw in the wider Maverick and Maven models last season, keeps this ski incredibly playful. This HRZN 3D Maverick/Maven tech sees the wood core extend right up to the very front of the ski, designed to improve stability and smoothness when charging hard. These skis can certainly be skied fast, but the thing you notice most with all skis with HRZN tech is just how much it enhances the fun nature of the skis. They are not twin-tips, and have a directional shape, although the rise in the back means you can ski switch if you really want to. Atomic builds in a 15% rocker through the shovel and a 10% rocker at the back, with standard camber in the middle of the ski. Salomon Stance Pro 86(Unisex) (38:00) £640 flat, 151cm-185cm Salomon's Stance range sees significant change, taking what were already great skis and making them industry leading. It has a full poplar wood core, with the Powerflex Ti metal layer sitting full width underfoot and tapering out in front of and behind the binding. The metal edge is made thicker to aid grip and power, and will endure more services, therefore lasting longer. The base has a 50% recycled content. The profile delivers regular camber underfoot with a 15% rocker through the front and a milder 12% rocker at the rear. THE BEST FREERIDE SKIS OF WINTER 2026 (40:00) Head Kore 99 Ti W(Women) (40:30) £650 without bindings, 156cm-177cm The Kore skis are redesigned for this season. This 99mm underfoot model has the same length options as the women's Kore 97 of last season, but otherwise it's a very different ski. Where the men's new Kore skis use beech and karuba, the women's Kore models combine poplar with PET (polyethylene terephthalate), which is a thermoplastic polyester polymer. Think of your favourite fleece, and the chances are it's made of the same material. This is complimented by a layer of Titanal, using at least 40% recycled material, above and below the core, along with a Graphene layer between the metal and top of the core. They add a damping layer between the bottom metal layer and the edges of the ski, to further smoothen the ride. Again, as in the men's, they add flax to the boundary of the topsheet to improve durability. Rocker front and back, with standard camber underfoot, gives the ski it's undeniable freeride profile. Salomon QST 100(Unisex) (43:30) £570 without bindings, 148cm-188cm New for this season in widths ranging from 92 through to 106, the 100 is an incredible freeride ski and was a hit with everyone at testing. It's a unisex model, offered in a choice of two colours. The new QST's have full poplar wood cores with basalt and glass fibres, as well as Salomon's proven Cork Damplifier, where they inlay a cork and TPU border at the tip and tail to dampen vibrations. The 106 has a 22% rocker up front and 18% rocker in the tail. As you step down in width to 100 then 94, they reduce the rocker proportion by 1% at each end, for each drop in width.

Sermon by Pastor Awhina Vailima on 21 September 2025
When you've really blown it and you've wandered far from God and the guilt of your sins weighs heavy, what do you do? Do you run and hide? Do you make excuses? Or do you come back, empty-handed, with nothing but confession on your lips? That's exactly what the people of Israel do in Nehemiah 9. After rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem and hearing once again the Word of God, they suddenly realize the greater walls that had crumbled: their faithfulness, their obedience, their relationship with the Lord. And so, in one of the longest recorded prayers in Scripture, the people confess, repent, and remember the steadfast love of their God. The Rev. Nathaniel Brown, pastor of Grace Lutheran Church in Correll, MN, Trinity Lutheran Church in Bellingham, MN, Trinity Lutheran Church in Odessa, MN, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Nehemiah 9. From rubble to renewal, Nehemiah shows how the Lord rebuilds not just walls but hearts. Brick by brick and prayer by prayer, we follow God's people through repentance, courageous leadership, fierce opposition, covenant renewal, and joyful dedication. This verse-by-verse series keeps Law and Gospel front and center, tracing the story from burned gates to the greater Builder — Christ Jesus — who secures a city that cannot fall. Expect honest history, practical application, and the steady comfort of God's promises when the work is heavy and critics are loud. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

We are doing a deep dive into the books of 1 and 2 Peter. Peter writes these letters to encourage the readers regarding how to live through difficult times. Enjoy!Speaker: Pastor Benjamin RamosSeries: STEADFAST THROUGH ADVERSITYScripture: 2 Peter 3
Eleanor of Aquitaine is best known as the wife of England's Henry II, the mother of his numerous children—including two kings, Richard the Lionheart and his infamous brother John, of Magna Carta fame—and perhaps for her long incarceration at Henry's insistence after their burning romance turned to ashes. What is often forgotten is that Eleanor, before she ever met Henry, ruled as queen of France for fifteen years. About a decade into her marriage, Eleanor accompanied her husband, King Louis VII, on the Second Crusade to re-establish Christian control over Jerusalem. In The Queen's Companion (Cuidono Press, 2025), this is where her story intersects with that of Lucy Pick's narrator, Lady Aude, who has her own reasons for traveling from Europe to the Holy Land. Interspersed with the events of the Second Crusade, told from the point of view of the crusaders and witnessed by Aude as Eleanor's lady-in-waiting, is Aude's own history, which she presents in the form of stories to Eleanor and her women. Aude is ruthlessly honest in revealing her own flaws and errors as well as her triumphs, and through her voice Lucy Pick creates a character—at times unlikable, but always indomitable and even admirable, much like Eleanor herself—who shines a spotlight onto medieval life in all its complexity. Lucy Pick, a historian of the thought and culture of medieval Spain, taught for over twenty years at the Divinity School of the University of Chicago. The Queen's Companion is her second novel. C. P. Lesley is the author of two historical fiction series set during the childhood of Ivan the Terrible and four other novels. Her latest book, Song of the Steadfast, appeared in 2025.

Emotions can be overwhelming—both for our daughters and for us as moms. From tearful meltdowns to unpredictable mood swings, it's easy to feel like big emotions threaten to take over the day. But here's the truth: feelings aren't something to fix or fear. They're invitations—opportunities to lean into God's presence, disciple with compassion, and point our girls toward steadfastness in Christ. In this episode, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden share personal stories of their own girlhood “big emotion” moments, reminding us that as moms, we've stood where our daughters now stand. Together, they explore practical and faith-filled ways to help girls put words to their emotions, process them in healthy ways, and anchor their identity in who God says they are—not in how they feel. You'll also hear from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay, who offers an actionable tool for moms: teaching your daughter to reframe “I am” statements into “I feel” statements. This simple shift can transform self-talk, strengthen identity, and remind our girls that feelings are temporary—but God's truth is eternal. Through practical steps like journaling, mealtime check-ins, and memorizing “truth anchor” verses, this episode equips you to model emotional maturity, guide your daughter with gentleness, and rest in the knowledge that God didn't call you to fix every emotion—He called you to shepherd your girl's heart toward Him. Referenced Scripture: Genesis 16:13 — God sees us in our struggles. Romans 12:2 — Be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Exodus 14:13 — Stand firm and see the salvation of the Lord. Psalm 139:14 — Fearfully and wonderfully made. Isaiah 43:1 — Called by name and redeemed. 1 Peter 2:9 — Chosen and belonging to God. This Week's Reminders: Feelings Are Real, But Not Always True Help your daughter name her emotions without letting them define her. Just because she feels unloved doesn't mean she is unloved. Root her identity in God's truth, not her temporary feelings. She Learns Emotional Maturity by Watching You Your example is her blueprint. When you model calm, prayerful responses and speak truth over your own emotions, you're teaching her how to navigate hers with grace and faith. God Doesn't Call You to Be Her Savior—Just Her Shepherd You're not expected to fix every meltdown. Your role is to guide her toward the One who can hold every emotion she faces. Let that truth lighten the load—you're parenting with God, not apart from Him. Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.

This week Mark looks at Hebrews 10:23, reminding us that our hope rests not in ourselves but in God's unchanging faithfulness. To confess our hope means openly declaring that our confidence is in Christ alone — not just in words but in the way we live. We are urged to hold fast to that confession without wavering, even when life shakes us, because the One who promises is faithful. From His character and promises, to the cross and resurrection, to His daily presence in our lives, God's faithfulness is sure. Together, as God's people, we can encourage one another to stand firm and live as those whose hope is anchored in Hi

It's okay to ask God to take away our trials. But in our waiting, we can also ask him to give us what we need to be faithful and fruitful in our trials. This is the wisdom from above, and it is available to all who ask.
We live in a time where Muslims can lift 200kg at the gym but struggle to lift a blanket for Fajr. Where hearts drown in endless scrolling, doubts, and desires. Where practising Islam is mistaken for harshness, or where perfection is demanded until people burn out and give up. But Allah never asked you to be perfect. He asked you to be steadfast. To have Istiqamah. What does that really mean today? How do you stay on the straight path when temptations, distractions, and pressure to imitate others are everywhere? How do you protect your heart and actions - the very things Allah looks at - when they're being pulled in every direction? In this 45-minute talk, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan uncovers the reality of Istiqamah: - Why it's a gift only Allah can give, not something you earn on your own. - Why consistency matters more than perfection. - How desires grow into doubts, and doubts into leaving the Deen. - Why gentleness attracts hearts more than harshness. - How your steadfastness today decides your footing on the Sirat on the Day of Judgement. If you've ever fallen, struggled, or wondered whether you're “good enough” to stay firm on this Deen, this is for you.

This psalm of praise that proclaims the steadfast loving-kindness of God will point us to the person and work of Jesus Christ. For it is in who Christ is and in what Christ has done for the LORD's people that the love of God is most gloriously displayed.
Steadfast love and faithfulness do not depend on emotion.

Scripture: Acts 26 Speaker: Grant Perkins Summary: Grant reflects on personal experiences of feeling inadequate compared to others, describing this as “imposter syndrome,” a feeling many also have when it comes to sharing their faith. Using Acts 26, he highlights Paul's example of simply telling his story—who he was, how he met Jesus, and how his life changed—rather than relying on eloquence or persuasion. Paul demonstrates that faithfulness is not about guaranteeing conversions but about boldly sharing his story regardless of the outcome. Even in limiting circumstances such as imprisonment, Paul continued to share, showing that God uses our weaknesses and constraints as opportunities to spread the gospel. The sermon concludes by encouraging believers to share their own stories faithfully, trusting that God can do “immeasurably more” with them than we could ever imagine.

This fascinating novel—dual-time historical with a fantastical overlay, based in part on the life of the author's great-grandfather, a nineteenth-century charlatan—follows the career of a young Scotswoman named Nairna Liath. When we meet her in 1900, Nora, sixteen years old, travels the Scottish countryside at the insistence of her father, Tavish, who supports himself and his daughter by hawking her supposed skills as a medium—expressed through his own mangled Gaelic mixed with a series of parlor tricks that Nairna has mastered. But we soon find out that the joke's on Tavish: Nairna really does have psychic talents, especially in reading Tarot cards. Her ability attracts attention from the Society for Psychical Research, setting Nairna on her path to become the spiritualist Nora Grey. Her tale is intertwined with (in fact, propelled by) that of Nairna's grandmother, Lottie Liath, in the 1860s. Lottie has just lost her husband in a coal mining accident, and when she protests the lack of financial support provided by the uncaring mine administration, the manager has her arrested and thrown in jail. From there, the pregnant Lottie ends up in an asylum. And it's the asylum, where she is subjected to psychic experiments, that brings her increasingly into conversation with Nora. The Entirely True Story of the Fantastical Mesmerist Nora Grey (Kensington Books, 2025) is rich in drama—both tragedy and comedy—as well as rapid switches of identity accompanied by pseudo news reports from various types of sources that illuminate Nora's and Lottie's stories in various ways. It's tremendous fun and heartbreaking at the same time, and it's best just to suspend disbelief and go with the flow. If you do, I guarantee you will love every minute of this story. Kathleen Kaufman, a native Coloradan and long-time resident of Los Angeles, California, is the author of six previous books. A University of Southern California alum, she teaches high school English and is a writing and composition adjunct professor at Santa Monica College. The Entirely True Story of the Fantastical Mesmerist Nora Grey is her latest novel. C. P. Lesley is the author of two historical fiction series set during the childhood of Ivan the Terrible and four other novels. Her latest book, Song of the Steadfast, appeared in June 2025.

Today’s Bible Verse: "Because the Sovereign Lord helps me, I will not be disgraced.Therefore have I set my face like flint, and I know I will not be put to shame." – Isaiah 50:7 There’s a quiet strength that comes from knowing God is on your side. Isaiah paints the picture of a servant who faces opposition with unwavering resolve — not because the road is easy, but because the Sovereign Lord gives help. Setting your face “like flint” means locking your eyes forward, determined to stay the course no matter what storms arise. “Want to listen without ads?
