Sermon by Fr. Robert Polen2nd Sunday of Ordinary TimeDiscussion Questions:What connotations do you have for “being summoned” or receiving a “summons”?God gathers his people to hear his testimony against them. In what ways have God's people forgotten God by imagining that he is one like themselves?How is it possible to act as if God is dependent on us?In what ways do we pay lip service to God?When God summons us to stand before him, what does he want us to remember?Read Hebrews 12:18–29. To where does the Lord now summon his people? In what ways are the covenant and sacrifice we now enjoy better?

In our latest science news roundup: how nature adapts, for better or worse. When faced with pests, plants may not be able to run away – but that doesn't mean they're defenseless. Some have thorns or spines, others have poisonous leaves or berries, and still others have…elaborate chemical defense alarm systems? In a recent study, researchers discovered that the common bean plant, P. vulgaris, has a particularly innovative response to hungry caterpillars: a compound in the caterpillar's spit causes the plants to release a chemical signal that attracts wasps. Those wasps then eat the caterpillars or lay eggs in their bodies, effectively removing the threat. Today on the show, we're diving into plant science and a round of other new scientific studies with All Things Considered host Sacha Pfeiffer.If you're interested in the fibermaxxing episode Han mentioned, check it out here.Listen to every episode of Short Wave sponsor-free and support our work at NPR by signing up for Short Wave+ at plus.npr.org/shortwave.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Speaker of Parliament Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin has expressed surprise at the passage of the controversial LGBTQ bill, describing the development as unexpected. He has subsequently summoned parliamentary leadership to deliberate on the next steps for Ghana following the approval of the legislation.

Fourth Sunday in EasterAs the Church celebrates Good Shepherd Sunday, it is important to take the time to reflect upon your calling or vocation. Vocation (Vocare) means a call or summons. In John 10, Jesus says, " My sheep hear my voice...and they follow me."Life in Christ is not an escape from suffering. It is a transformation of suffering. The easy road avoids suffering whereas the Shepherd leads us through it to freedom. The wide road is easy to walk-but it never leads you home. Only the voice you follow will decide the man or woman you become. Scripture Reading for April 26, 2026Acts 2:14, 36-41Psalm 23: 1-61 Peter 2:20-25John 10:1-10

⚖️ Who Actually Files for Divorce First? | Los Angeles Divorce ⚖️ Many people assume that both spouses must file for divorce together, but that's not how the process works in California. In Los Angeles and throughout California, only one spouse needs to file the divorce petition to start the case.

Ryan Allen of Soul & Spirits in Memphis loves brewing traditional lager—but when it comes to turning heads at big events like the Great American Beer Festival, he's not afraid of putting that methodical approach to work on projects that other brewers might view as crazy. Barbecue sauce–flavored beer? Yes. Beer with the taste and consistency of Southern gravy? Check. Barrel-aged stout that tastes like cola (with a spike of something harder)? Of course. In this episode, Allen discusses these outliers in the beer-flavor pantheon—but also shares his approach to brewing with locally grown rice, which he cereal-mashes for everything from IPA to “Southern pilsner.” He also discusses: their Sauce line of barbecue sauce–flavored gluten-free ales using astringent and tannic spices in beer preventing oat milk from curdling in an acidic beer environment building cola flavor through a variety of ingredients malt blends in stout for depth and flavor brewing with locally grown rice making “Southern pilsner” with New Zealand–grown Riwaka hops And more.

⚖ Uncontested Divorce in Pomona: How It Works | Pomona Divorce

John 4:1-18 - The Source of Living Waters Please turn in your Bibles to John chapter 4, verses 1-18. You can find that on page 1056 of the pew Bibles. This is the well-known interaction between Jesus and the woman at the well. Their conversation is a little long, so we'll take this in two sermons. Today is part 1. Next week is Easter, and I'm planning a different sermon text. But in two weeks we'll get to part 2. As I read, think about the differences between Nicodemus and the woman at the well. Jesus had met Nicodemus earlier in chapter 3. Remember, he was a Pharisee and a member of the Jewish council and a teacher of Israel.  And now in chapter 4, Jesus meets a very different person in a very different setting. Reading John 4:1-18 Prayer In my high school and college days, I enjoyed  multi-day wilderness trips. You know, you hike a few miles, then camp, then hike another few miles, and camp again, and you do that for several days. For some reason, it doesn't really sound fun anymore! I'll never forget the very first trip I went on. It started out pretty rough. It was very hot. We were mostly hiking in the shade, but we had 30-40 pound backpacks and so we were sweating. What made it worse is that we got lost on the first day. We didn't really know what we were doing, and then we got turned around. And then, we ran out of water. We had brought extra water because of the heat, but we drank it all by mid-day - we didn't know what rationing meant. Furthermore, the streams and lakes had an unusually high level of parasites that summer, and so we couldn't drink from them. And because we got lost, we didn't make it to our destination. Our planned destination had fresh water, but we were still some miles away when it got dark. So, we had to camp in the middle of a dense forest without water. I've never been more thirsty in my life. We all know what it feels like to thirst. Jesus had been thirsty from his travels. He was fully human just as much as he was fully divine. He shared in our common experiences like hunger and thirst and weariness. But as we read, this story is about much more than just satisfying our physical thirst. No, Jesus uses the common experience of thirsting and drinking to convey a deeper truth - spiritual thirst and spiritual refreshment. This Samaritan woman didn't even know she was spiritually thirsty, but she would soon come to realize how thirsty she was... and where to find the source of life-giving water. As we look at this text, we'll consider it in three basic points: The setting, the scene, and the summons. 1. The Setting - what is the cultural and religious background 2. The Scene - what happened in this conversation 3. The Summons - how are we summoned to respond. By the way, my first outline had a bunch of "s" in my subpoints… like spring, satisfy, Sychar, sixth, sinner, source, surprising, soul, and savior. But it was a little too much, so I decided to spare you from that! 1. The Setting Ok, #1, the setting. Before we work through this captivating narrative, it's important to understand some of the religious and cultural dynamics at play. First, the Samaritans were deeply despised by the Jews. They were outcasts and they were considered unclean. There were a couple of reasons for this. ·      #1 - Samaria was where the northern tribes of Israel had been. Back when the Assyrians conquered the northern kingdom of Israel, some of the Assyrians settled in the land. And over time the Assyrians and the Israelites from the northern tribes intermarried. That was a problem because their religions got mixed together. The Samaritans claimed the same forefathers as the Jews in Judah, but their religious practice and beliefs had been corrupted. We'll consider this more in part 2 of this dialogue. I simply bring it up because the Samaritans were considered not worthy to associate with. In fact, in order to get from Jerusalem to Galilee, the fastest route was to go through Samaria. But, some Jews would go to great lengths to literally travel around Samaria to get to Galilee. It was that bad. ·      #2 - This hatred of the Samaritans did not go away after Jesus walked the earth. In fact, it got worse. The Jewish historian Josephus records that around 51 AD, some Jewish pilgrims passing through Samaria were murdered. In response, several Samaritan villages were attacked by Jews. This killing went back and forth until the Romans had to step in. John wrote this Gospel account after those conflicts. What I'm saying is that throughout the first century Jews deeply mistrusted or even despised the Samaritans.   One of the commentators that I like is Gary Burge. He describes the book of John like scenes in a play. It's helpful to think of it that way. A couple of weeks ago, the curtains opened and it was dark. Nicodemus had come to Jesus at night. Nicodemus, who was an upstanding member of the Jewish elite was searching for answers. And he learned that he needed to be born again. He needed the cleansing ministry that Jesus was offering. But then the curtain closes while he's still searching. Now the curtain opens again, but this time it's the middle of the day. The 6th hour is about noon and the sun is shining. And there is Jesus again, but instead of Nicodemus, instead of this esteemed member of the Sanhedrin and a teacher of Israel, Jesus is speaking with an unclean Samaritan woman. Can you hear the gasps in the audience? And it gets worse as the narrative unfolds. Not only was she a Samaritan, but we find out that she has had 5 husbands and was now living with a guy to whom she was not even married. What a contrast to Nicodemus. ·      He was a squeaky-clean Pharisee on the outside… who had yet to see his need for the transforming power of Christ for his darkened sinful heart. ·      And then this woman, a spiritual and relational mess on the outside, yet, who would come to see her need and drink from the life-giving water of Christ. By the way, I am not saying that Nicodemus never came to believe in Jesus. A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that by the end of the book, it appears that his heart had changed. And in regard to the Samaritan woman, we learn later in this chapter that she not only came to believe, but through her testimony, many other Samaritans believed. It was all very revealing. You know, we're just a few chapters into John's Gospel, and several paradigms were being broken. John's Jewish audience had false perceptions about the Messiah. They also didn't understand the true reasons for their religious practices. So, their paradigms needed to be shattered. ·      The tables in the temple needed to be overturned. They needed to understand that Jesus fulfilled the temple promises. ·      They also needed to understand that Jesus did not come to re-establish Israel's geo-political dominance. Rather, as chapter 3 says, he came that the world may be saved through him.   ·      Furthermore, they needed to know that being a Jewish leader did not mean you would enter the kingdom of God. Keeping the rules or knowing the law does not get you into the kingdom. No, you need to be born again of the cleansing ministry of Christ and in his Spirit. They needed to learn all this. And here in chapter 4 - They are learning that the cleansing ministry of Jesus is also for Samaritans. And not only that, but Jesus came to save sinners, like this woman. Really, they were all sinners, like us.… but many in the Jewish community didn't understand that. What I'm saying is that if you were a Jew in the first century and you were hearing this for the first time, your religious foundations were being shaken. They needed to be shaken. So that's the setting… the cultural and religious backdrop. 2. The Scene Which brings us to #2 - the scene. Let's consider what happened. In the first century, travelling by foot from Jerusalem directly to Galilee would have taken 3-4 day. Jesus and his disciples travelled up the main road through Samaria… passing one village after another. And they came to Sychar. We learn that it was historically significant. It's where Jacob and his family had lived before moving to Egypt. Jacob was their forefather whom God would rename as Israel. He had 12 sons, whose families would become the twelve tribes of Israel. So, Jacob's well had been there for centuries. The well was near the field that Jacob had given his favorite son Joseph. This is Joseph who was given the multi-colored coat by his father and who was soon thereafter sold by his brothers as a slave. It was noon. The sun was beating down. Jesus and his disciples had more ground to travel but they needed rest and food and water. Jesus stayed at the well while his disciples went to find food. And as he sat there, a Samaritan woman approached. A common household chore for women at the time was filling the water jars. So it was not unusual for a woman to come to the well. However, what was unusual was the time of day. Usually filling water pots happened in the early morning or late afternoon when it was cooler. But given this woman's situation, either she was not welcome at other times, or she felt ashamed. And so, she came at mid-day. And to her surprise, a Jewish man was there. Now, the customary thing to do would have been to quickly fill her water jars and head home. But this man asked her a question. He asked her for a drink. By the way, Jacob's well was deep. You can actually visit the well today. It's about 135 ft to the bottom. That's pretty deep! Jesus didn't have anything to lower down and draw up water and he was thirsty. So, it was a reasonable request. But given the cultural dynamics, even such a request was unheard of. And it took her off-guard. Verse 9: "How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a woman of Samaria?" Now, think about this: What would we expect Jesus to say in response? Or what would John's readers expect? They were already in shock by the situation. But Jesus was thirsty, after all. The natural response would have been for Jesus to say something like, "We've travelled a long way so far. It's hot out. Those with me are in town buying food. But we've run out of water, and I'm thirsty. I have no way of drawing water from the well. Even though I am a Jew, will you help?" That's the expectation, but Jesus instead changed the conversation. That's what he does, isn't it? He disrupts the norms. He dismantles presuppositions. He pivots conversations. He asks penetrating questions and then he drives to the heart of the matter. He said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.” Of course, this made no sense to her at first. Jesus didn't have a way to get to the water. Furthermore, he referenced living water. Living water was the term used for fresh moving water like streams or springs. This was a well. Water fills the bottom of a well by seeping in through the earth from the water table and then it sits there. How can you get this water? This well is deep? You have nothing to draw it out. Where will you get the living water you offer? Then something happened inside of her. She sensed that she was in the presence of someone important. After all, Jesus had said so! His first comment was to ask if she knew the gift of God? And then immediately Jesus said to her, if you knew who it was who was asking… She didn't know. But she didn't ask Jesus who he was. No, instead, she asked, "Are you greater than our father Jacob?" This well had been Jacob's well. He and his family and his animals drank from it. Was there something special about the water in it? Is that what you're referring to? Jesus responded, "anyone who drinks from this water," referring to Jacob's well, "will be thirsty again." And then in verses 13 and 14 Jesus said something life transforming. I want you look down and read it again. Verse 13: "but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” The living water that Jesus was offering to give… was not physical water. No, it was something wholly different. And this water would yield in her, eternal life. Jesus was offering to her the gift of living water — faith in him, repentance from sin, and new life — all of which God alone can give. And this gift that Jesus was offering to her would come at a great cost. It would come through the giving of his life. This fountain of eternal life, this living water, would be purchased by his blood. She didn't yet understand this, and Jesus had yet to offer up his life… but he was drawing her to himself. "Sir, give me this water." Now at that time, she still thought that whatever water he was referring to would satisfy her physical thirst. She didn't yet understand her spiritual need. And this is where Jesus, yet again, redirects the conversation. "Go, call your husband, and come here." Jesus already knew her situation. He already knew that she had been married five times and was now living with a man who was not her husband. But Jesus wanted to reveal her need for this living water. She had been searching for something to satisfy her soul, something to give her life and meaning, but she had been searching in the wrong places. Let me say this. We are not given the details about her relationships. But we do know a little. We know that a wife at that time was not allowed to divorce her husband. So, she had been left by 5 men. Is it possible that she broke the wedding vows? Yes. Is it possible that these 5 husbands just decided to abandon her? Yes. Sometimes people assign all the blame to her, but likely it was a combination of broken vows and messy relationships. But whatever happened in her marriages, she was now living with another man… but had not consecrated their relationship by marriage. She was living in sin and had a history of messy relationships. It was a pattern of failure and sin. It appears that she had been pursuing relationships and intimacy within those relationships in hopes that they would give her long term satisfaction. But nothing was satisfying her longings. It was just getting worse. Jesus was saying to her: the spiritual water I give will satisfy you for eternity. It will be a never-ending fountain welling up to eternal life. I want this water of which you speak. Well, Jesus continued to talk to her. We'll cover that in a couple of weeks. And we'll even hear later that she testified to others that Jesus was the Savior of the world. What a tremendous thing. She drank of that "life-giving stream," as we sang earlier. #3 The Summons That's the scene. Which brings us now to #3 - The summons. What are we summoned to do? What does this mean for us? Two things come to mind. Two applications. #1 - When John's Jewish audience heard this, they had to come to grips with something. Their Samaritan neighbors needed the life-giving water of Christ just as much as they did. Beloved, your Muslim and Hindu neighbors need the life-giving waters of Christ. If your heart is turned against them… if you see them as the enemy rather than seeing them as people also made in the image of God and who also need the Gospel, then your heart-attitude needs changing. Remember, salvation is a gift. Did you notice that in verse 10? The living water of Christ is a gift from God. The gift that we have been given is a gift that Jesus offers to all. May we remember that and love our neighbors. And the greatest way that we can love our neighbors is to share the love of Christ with them. #2 - Every single person in the world is searching for satisfaction. Every one of us. We all have a spiritual and relational thirst within us that needs to be satisfied. We've been created as relational beings. We yearn for relationships, and we long to be fulfilled. But apart from Christ, we are searching in the wrong places. The problem occurs when we look for fulfillment in the things of this world or through relationships in this world. Sometimes we pursue the things of this world as if they can save us. Sometimes it's the idols of our culture like comfort or the love of money or our careers or our things or even our homes that replace God in our lives. Those are good things… but when we look to them to ultimately satisfy, then we have turned them into idols. Other times, we pursue saviors who are not saviors at all… that can include political heroes or cultural heroes. That can include your spouse, or your children, or perhaps even your pastor. I don't think that I'm anyone's idol… but celebrity pastor can sometimes become an idol. Other times in our search for satisfaction, we are drawn into sinful relationships… like adulterous relationships, or fornication like the Samaritan woman. Or we can search for satisfaction in our sinful desires for others or other things. But whether it is heart sin or actual sin, it is all stolen waters as proverbs 9 puts it.  It cannot save you and will not satisfy you. But Jesus offers living water. He offers you the life-giving water of salvation in him. And as he said, it will spring up to eternal life. The thirst of your soul will be satisfied in him forever. If you don't have this life-giving water, it is yours to receive as a gift from Christ. Come and drink. In case you didn't notice, I survived my first wilderness trip. But I'll say, it was a long first night. You know how it feels when you're thirsty. It's like having cotton balls in your mouth. That's what it felt like the whole night. We woke up and were still thirsty…and still had a few miles to hike. But we finally made it to fresh water! It was one of those hand pump wells, you know with the long handles. We pumped the handle for a bit and then the water started flowing. It was cold and fresh and satisfying. We drank and drank until we could drink no more. It was so refreshing. The life-giving water of Christ is the only source that will satisfy the thirst of your soul. May you drink and find your satisfaction in him for eternity.

Bongani Bingwa speaks with Ian Cameron, Chairperson of the National Assembly’s Portfolio Committee on Police, about the twelve senior South African Police Service officers dubbed the “Dirty Dozen” who recently appeared in the Pretoria Magistrates’ Court.

Last year brought many challenges for Christian fantasy fans. From flops at the theaters now threatened by streaming slop, to creators making more events for Christian storytelling, to the continued growth of biblical fiction as the top genre of Christian-made entertainment—let's survey the top ten fantasy-related headlines from last year. Episode sponsors Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queen The Case of the Heart Stone by Tulli Cole Above the Circle of Earth by E. Stephen Burnett Mission update New at Lorehaven: many features over the holidays! We announced our new book quest in the Lorehaven Guild: Taliesin Onscreen: ‘Stranger Things' Season Five Gives Weight to Parents' Fears, A. D. Sheehan Onscreen: ‘David' Creators Answer all Your Questions About the Animated Hit Movie, Josh Shepherd Engage: Alleged ‘Rock and Roll' Soundtrack Incites Suspicion of Netflix's Narnia Movie, newcomer Sierra Simopoulos Sierra Simopoulos also reviewed Sons of Day and Night My own article: Why Christians Need Fantastical Stories Subscribe free to get updates and join the Lorehaven Guild Stop by the homepage for many upgrades, especially the Library. Soon: discover the Guild's new wing, the Lorehaven Authorship. 10. Superheroes failed to save ailing cinema Marvel movies, despite their strengths, all flopped at the box office. Personally I did like Fantastic Four: First Steps, but didn't love it. Lorehaven folks were generally positive about some hero movies. ‘Captain America: Brave New World' Labors to Save a Struggling MCU, Marian A. Jacobs The Antiheroes of Thunderbolts* Preach to Marvel Itself, Daniel Whyte IV ‘Superman' (2025) Will Make You Believe a Man Can Be Earnest, Josiah DeGraaf However, audiences were tepid; none of these films broke even. The greatest foe of superheroes? Flippancy. Next: lack of family. MCU reached its apex with creators who at least feigned sincerity. DC's nobledark tone was winning fans, until the studio freaked out. 9. Disney's ‘Snow White' remake bombed Sticking with cinemas, this one might be the year's greatest fail. ‘Snow White' (2025) Isn't the Fairest of Adaptations, Parker J. Cole I didn't see it. Few people did. More people saw YouTube roasts. This whole nonsense was an ugly reflection of three terrible trends ruining films: “woke” checkboxes, cynicism, and corporate gloss. 8. Fans abandoned legacy sci-fi franchises Once a Doctor Who hero, Russell T. Davies has ruined that series. Star Trek is adrift, desperately trying to hail imaginary “new fans.” Of course, Star Wars keeps failing to please its own alienated fans. The greatest culprit here: Godless, sex-obsessed progressivism. One can't correct from this without visibly rejecting “woke” politics. 7. K-Pop Demon Hunters owned the summer We haven't had a genuine pop-culture movie phenomenon in ages. Then along comes this little giant animated movie on Netflix. ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters' Pits Singing Heroines vs. Monster Idols, Marian A. Jacobs Kids sang catchy songs. Adults found deeper themes to explore. YouTube reactions and covers on Instagram/TikTok exploded. For the first time, Netflix had a true four-quadrant hit on its hands. And dear Lord, may they learn only the right lessons from this, and not turn this into another streaming slop like so much other stuff. 6. ‘Woke' stories stepped back, yet persisted 251. Could a Cultural ‘Vibe Shift' Advance Christian-Made Fiction? Due to political events we won't detail, that agenda is on the wane. At least the Sexualityism religion is seen as stale and unstable. Many are still trying to figure out what, if any, ideas will replace it. A. D. Sheehan had to critique Brandon Sanderson, a late arrival to the “woke” content scene: Brandon Sanderson's New Fantasy ‘Wind and Truth' Summons a Postmodern Cringestorm. Oddly enough, we keep seeing Christian parents posting about the random books they find, after which they ask “Is it woke?” Pro tip: yeah, it's probably woke, especially with a cover like that. By now we surely have enough Christian-made novels to help? 5. Corporate slop threatens human stories 274. Why Shouldn't AI-Generated Content Replace Human Stories? This is partly about AI-generated slop, but not always. Skeptical fans now refer to anything bad with “this looks AI.” Why? Because the problem goes deeper than technology amok. Long before AI, corporate studios began relying on algorithms. I believe that's when these stories began feeling less, well, human. 272. Can We Save Cinema from Sloppy Stories? Instead of human hunches, stories get greenlit by metallic minds. Reference: the short-lived run of Robert Zemekis mocap movies. At first people express curiosity, but eventually they get bored. Prediction: this too shall pass. We'll see a lot of forced “firsts,” like “the first fully AI-generated movie.” They may even succeed. But the novelty will quickly wear off as it did before Mars Needs Moms. Still, Christian creators must dig deeper to defend organic human stories with philosophies deeper than “AI destroys the Earth.” 4. Conservative TV is trying more fantasy We greatly anticipate the DailyWire+ show The Pendragon Cycle. Based on Stephen Lawhead's novels, seven episodes drop Jan. 22. Christian showrunner Jeremy Boreing actually stepped down from being Daily Wire co-CEO, it seems, to ensure finishing this series. Political hot takes scarcely outlast the day. Great stories last long. Alas, there's the constantly controversial Magician's Nephew movie Marketing for this is dreadful, with publicly floated nonsense about an actress playing Aslan or the movie featuring “rock and roll.” 257. By Aslan's Mane, is Netflix Really Casting a Lady as the Lion? Meanwhile, platforms like Angel (run by LDS members, yet with freedom for Christians) released The Wingfeather Saga season 2. We also saw a new angel-heroes show, Gabriel and the Guardians. ‘Gabriel and the Guardians' Echoes a Golden Era of Saturday Morning Cartoons, Jenneth Leed Alas, any sci-fi-ish efforts seem restricted to dystopian dramas. We need higher budgets and risks to widen those genre limits. 3. Realm Makers unites Christian creators 265. How Can We Shine the Gospel at the Realm Makers Expo? 266. How Do You Assemble a New Expo for Christian Fandoms? | with Scott Minor Last year's conference in Grand Rapids marked an experiment. Can this organization blend creator training with a public expo? Results were mixed-positive, mainly because of the venue choice. For me, a debut sci-fi novelist, results may have skewed better. Yet our primary audience must be Christian fans and families. A semi-major downtown is difficult for these folks to access. Next year's new venue in St. Louis looks much more promising! And it sounds like the public Expo will be easier for fans to access. For Christian fantasy to grow, we must unite over common interest. Yet this unity must be based on love for the true Jesus, our Author. 2. Biblical fiction is the top Christian genre There's no contest. Amish and historical fiction is dethroned. Christian fantasy (mostly romantasy) remains confined to books. Amazon's ‘House of David' Anoints an Intriguing Biblical Epic, Michael Allen ‘House of David' Is Crowned King of Amazon Prime, Jenneth Leed 1. Fantasy for teen/YA women continues to rule the Christian-made fantastical worlds This might well be the repeat headline from previous years. Facts are facts. Teen girls and women outread everyone else. When they like fantasy, they prefer female heroes/relationships. Romantasy is the queen. And her handmaiden is royal drama. 249. What is ‘Romantasy'? | with Parker J. Cole And the new princess on the block? Time-travel romance, for sure. 263. What is Time-Travel Romance? | Every Hour Until Then with Gabrielle Meyer These books get the most attention on Instagram and elsewhere. Is it true that “men don't read”? Not necessarily. Men do read. But they tend to read nonfiction about culture, theology, history. And for fantastical fiction, these readers have unique expectations. Christians here favor proven legacies, especially Lewis/Tolkien. One can't complain about the reality. Instead, meet the standard. Frankly, that's my hope for Above the Circle of Earth and beyond. Of course I support teen/YA female-focused fantasy stories! Yet that's not my genre; it doesn't help me, personally, grow in joy. Surely there are more readers who favor other kinds of stories, maybe deeper, maybe in underdog genres like sci-fi and horror. Christians must expect a true joyous sci-fi future under King Jesus. And we uniquely understand supernatural realities/horror today. But making new stories isn't enough. We must cultivate readers. That's our mission at Lorehaven with our new mission statement: Escape bad books. Find the best Christian fantasy and sci-fi! Watch this space for more about bad books, reader cultivation, and new resolutions to avoid scroll traps and level up your imagination. Com station Top question for listeners What was your top fantasy story or least-liked story in 2025? Next on Fantastical Truth “In one cataclysmic moment, millions around the world disappear.” Jesus returned thirty years ago. Or rather, He sort of pre-returned, the warm-up act, if you will. Many faithful Christians believe in this kind of “rapture.” And in December 1995, two authors teamed up and used this idea to create the most successful biblical end-times thriller we've yet seen. Last summer, we overviewed the series. Yet now we'll ask how that first Left Behind novel has aged, thirty years after its release.
