James Rackover looked like someone who had it all. He had style, status, and a last name that carried weight. But the truth behind the image was darker. When a man goes missing after a night in Manhattan, investigators start to uncover the kind of past James hoped no one would find. He wasn't who he said he was. And he wasn't done breaking the rules.Get commercial free access to over a decade of Sword and Scale's true crime podcasts at http://swordandscale.com

Welcome to Day 2789 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2789 – A Sacrifice, A Savior, a Sword – Luke 2:21-38 Putnam Church Message – 12/28/2025 Luke's Account of the Good News - “A Sacrifice, A Savior, a Sword”   Last week, we continued our year-long study of Luke's Narrative of the Good News in a message titled: “The Nativity Revisited – Love Came Down.” This week is the final Sunday of 2025 – in some ways, it flew by in a flash, but in others, it has been a very long year. Today, we find the newborn Christ eight days old, and he is taken to the temple for circumcision and naming of the child, as every devout Hebrew did. Today's passage is the story of “A Sacrifice, A Savior, a Sword.” Our Core verses for this week are Luke 2:21-38, found on page 1591 of your Pew Bibles. Jesus Presented in the Temple  21 On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise the child, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he was conceived. 22 When the time came for the purification rites required by the Law of Moses, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord 23 (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord”[b]), 24 and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: “a pair of doves or two young pigeons.”[c] 25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him. 26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord's Messiah. 27 Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required, 28 Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying: 29 “Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you may now dismiss[d] your servant in peace. 30 For my eyes have seen your salvation, 31     which you have prepared in the sight of all nations: 32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel.” 33 The child's father and mother marveled at what was said about him. 34 Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother: “This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, 35 so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul, too.” 36

Synopsis: Ur-Namma unifies Sumer and ejects the Elamites. His son, King Shulgi, designs a new empire and begins a push for Zagros domination. “The trustworthy shepherd, king, the sword of Sumer, Ur-Namma, the king of the Land, was taken to the …house…he who was beloved by the troops, could not raise his neck anymore. The wise one…lay down; silence descended. As he, who was the vigor of the Land, had fallen, the Land became demolished like a mountain…He passed away in his prime…abandoned, like a broken jar.” – The Death of Ur-Namma Map of the Near East c. 2112 BC: https://audio.ancientworldpodcast.com/2112BC.jpg Map of the Near East c. 2060 BC: https://audio.ancientworldpodcast.com/2060BC.jpg Episode Images: https://www.flickr.com/photos/75506172@N07/albums/72177720331669262/ References and Further Reading: https://audio.ancientworldpodcast.com/A10_References.pdf Please contact advertising@airwavemedia.com if you would like to advertise on this podcast.

I sat down with Bria Rose, dark romance author and fairy-tale rewriter. To talk about why Disney was never meant just for kids, and why the stories we grew up with deserve to grow up too. We dig into adult fairy-tale retellings. Retake of Beauty and the Beast as an 18+ narrative. Why sanitizing myth, folklore, and European fairy tales. Strips them of their cultural spine. This conversation isn't nostalgia bait. It's about respecting history, intention, and the emotional weight. That made these god damn stories matter in the first place.We get deep into Disney's past, from The Black Cauldron and Sword in the Stone. To the scrappy VHS era, and why modern remakes feel hollow along. Compared to the original risks the studio once took. Bria breaks down her writing philosophy. Why research and travel matter when retelling culturally rooted stories. How she approaches representation without flattening identity into corporate checkboxes. We also talk anime, international and storytelling, horror, censorship, inscriptive fearlessness. Why Americans forgot how to let art be uncomfortable.This episode is honest, unfiltered, and unapologetically adult. It's about creativity, culture. Why rewriting stories doesn't mean erasing their origins. If you love Disney but feel disconnected from what it's become. Or if you believe fairy tales should still have teeth, this one's for you.Where to Find Bria Rose?

How can we find hope through trials? Gina Fox, founder of the Anchored by the Sword ministry and award-winning author of Anchored in Freedom, relates from her deeply personal journey through infertility, loss, and mental health struggles, and opens up about how she discovered hope even in her darkest moments. Together, host Tina Yeager and Gina Fox explore the power of faith, authentic support, and the importance of not comparing one person's pain to another. Whether you're in the midst of your own trial or supporting someone who is, this episode is filled with practical wisdom and heartfelt encouragement to help you find light in the darkest valleys. Stay tuned as we uncover how God can turn even the most painful seasons into stories of hope and freedom. Key Takeaways: Embracing Real Emotions: Gina Fox openly shares how anger and sadness were part of her healing—and why it's important to acknowledge those feelings without shame. Even Jesus felt anger, and it's okay for us to process our emotions, too. Seeking Support: Don't go it alone. Whether through friends, community, or a counselor, inviting trusted people in makes a difference. Gina encourages everyone to reach out to at least one "safe person." Finding God's Hope: No matter your trial, God meets you uniquely in your story. Gina reminds us that each journey is different—there's no need to compare your struggles with someone else's, but do bring God into every step and ask Him to provide hope and help. Simple Steps When Life Feels Dark: Just take the next step, even if it's as small as getting out of bed. The Psalms are a great place to start in the Bible. Let your community and God walk with you, especially when things feel overwhelming. You Are Not Alone: Above all, Gina wants you to know that there is always hope, even in the darkest moments. "God's got this, and He's got you." Want More? Grab Gina's book, Anchored in Freedom, on Amazon or get the first chapter FREE when you join her email list at anchoredbythesword.org.

Start Serious! Stay Hungry! Fight Spiritually!  Finish Strong!  Fighting spiritually is fighting from victory, not fighting for victory. 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit,which is the word of God. Ephesians 6:10-17 Helmet of Salvation.  The Sword of The Spirit. (The Spoken Word)

Audio taken from the live teaching "What Does the Bible Say About Self-Defense? Turn the Other Cheek" or "Buy a Sword"? - https://youtu.be/tEK8VoV9txUWe are witnessing an increase of violence around the world targeting Christians, Churches, and increasing cases of attacks and invasions during live worship services.These wicked attacks carried out by the godless where innocent men, women, and children are being assaulted, terrorized, and even slaughtered in cold blood require a response to the biblical rights of Christians affected by violence.Does the Bible call Christians to absolute pacifism, or does the Scripture allow for self-defense?In today's study, we will address these three questions:1 - What does the biblical admonishment ‘turn the other cheek' mean?2 - What does the biblical admonishment ‘buy a sword' mean?3 - Does the Bible allow the Christian to engage in self-defense?Key Scriptures used in today's teaching: Matthew 5:38-39Other Scriptures referenced: Matthew 26:51-52; Luke 22:36; Exodus 22:2; 1 John 5:11-13If you prayed with Tiff, click here https://lostlamb.org/ and let him know!  Be sure to check out the playlist “New Beginnings” - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsX8E19Azl58_FjxELPxjnsL8CAtmama4Thank you for listening, and subscribe for new content each week.

In Regin's smithy, Sigurd sees a shield painted with the dragon Fafnir and hears about the treasure the dragon guards. Sigurd says he doesn't care about dragons or gold, but he can't stop dreaming about them. Finally, Regin the smithy tries to forge a powerful sword to help him defeat the dragon. Will the sword be powerful enough or will the broken pieces of Gram, his father's famous sword, be needed instead? If you prefer a music free version, please scroll down to our previous episode.

In His right hand He held seven stars, and out of His mouth came a sharp two-edged sword; and His face was like the sun shining in its strength. – Revelation 1:16

In Regin's smithy, Sigurd sees a shield painted with the dragon Fafnir and hears about the treasure the dragon guards. Sigurd says he doesn't care about dragons or gold, but he can't stop dreaming about them. Finally, Regin the smithy tries to forge a powerful sword to help him defeat the dragon. Will the sword be powerful enough or will the broken pieces of Gram, his father's famous sword, be needed instead?

A 15-minute podcast of Bible teaching, Monday - Friday, by the President and Editor of the Sword of the Lord Publishers, Dr. Shelton Smith.

When a devastating fire consumed the lives of an affluent British family, suspicions arose, pointing fingers at those who knew business tycoon Chris Foster and may have wanted him dead. As detectives sifted through the ashes and debris, they uncovered even more secrets buried within the Shropshire mansion. From hidden affairs and financial troubles to long-buried grudges and shattered dreams, investigators didn't know which direction to look in next until the killer was revealed in the family's own CCTV footage.Get commercial free access to over a decade of Sword and Scale's true crime podcasts at http://swordandscale.com

A 15-minute podcast of Bible teaching, Monday - Friday, by the President and Editor of the Sword of the Lord Publishers, Dr. Shelton Smith.

In today's episode of the Anchored By the Sword podcast, I'm joined by author, content creator, and all-around kind soul Hillary Phillips, to talk about her devotional My Brain While Reading the Bible—and let me tell you, I have never felt more seen.If you've ever opened your Bible with the best intentions… only for your thoughts to immediately go everywhere else, this conversation is for you.Hillary shares her powerful freedom journey—growing up in a home marked by alcoholism and abuse, navigating trauma, depression, grief, and eventually discovering healing through therapy, faith, and learning how to practically apply Scripture to real life. We talk openly about CPTSD, mental strongholds, and what it really means to “take our thoughts captive” without shame.This episode is a reminder that two things can be true at once:

Gearheads do things and make stuff because they're doers at heart.  Just add tools and bolts and wires and parts (it's all ball bearings anyway) and fixing happens, no matter where we're pointed.  Make your house happy and point yourself at some walls and ceilings for an hour - it's more fun with wiring.  What's more: multimeters, wire nuts, 10-minute crashing guitar murder, dikes and strippers, and blaming hippies.  For fun: massive blackouts in first-world countries show they can't even subsist at third-world levels, laws to protect 'froaders, campers, bikers and hikers from wolves, and a little ditty about making your kids gun-safe instead of making your house crime-friendly. More in there (because space metal): Masters of Reality, Failure, Monster Magnet, Farflung, Kyuss, Snail, Man or Astro Man, Orange Goblin, Clutch, The Sword, Soundgarden, the wonderful McRib, and a peachy wheat sip (and some tales) from Breckenridge Brewery.

This week on Disney Dish, Jim Hill and Len Testa dig into a deceptively simple question with big implications for trip planning: when exactly did “summer vacation” stop being peak season at Walt Disney World? Using years of hotel pricing data as a proxy for crowd demand, Len walks through what the numbers say - and the results may surprise longtime fans. Then Jim takes listeners on a deep historical tour of one of the parks' most quietly beloved traditions, the Sword in the Stone ceremony, tracing its evolution across Disney parks worldwide. NEWS • Why Disney hotel pricing data suggests summer is no longer peak season at Walt Disney World • A breakdown of how demand has shifted from summer to fall travel, especially October • Updates on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad refurbishments and new cave effects • Casting and timing details for the upcoming Bluey experience at Disney's Animal Kingdom • Disneyland's Galaxy's Edge timeline expansion, adding characters from across all Star Wars eras FEATURE • The full history of the Sword in the Stone ceremony, from Disneyland in 1983 to parks around the globe • Why Imagineers were obsessed with The Sword in the Stone long before the ceremony debuted • How budget cuts slowly transformed a full-scale show into today's simpler experience • The true story of the guest who actually pulled the sword completely out of the stone For this episode's full show notes, click here.

This week on Disney Dish, Jim Hill is joined by mind reader and showman Chris Cox, who steps in for Len Testa and immediately finds himself in the middle of some very Disney-sized mishaps. From a runaway Indiana Jones boulder at Disney's Hollywood Studios to the surprisingly fragile roof of Sleeping Beauty Castle, the conversation explores what happens when iconic park moments go just a little too far. Along the way, Jim and Chris dig into forgotten ceremonies, cutback entertainment, and the Imagineering decisions that quietly shaped Disneyland over the decades. NEWS • A 400-pound boulder goes off track during a performance of the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular and what that means for show safety going forward • The temporary removal of the iconic boulder scene and why Disney is famously cautious after incidents like this • The Atlantic Dance Hall at Disney's BoardWalk cuts back to a three-night schedule and what that signals about nightlife at the resort • Listener mail on working New Year's Eve at Disney parks and why January 1 might secretly be the best day to visit FEATURE • The long and surprisingly complicated history of the Sword in the Stone ceremony and how it really worked behind the scenes • How Imagineer Kim Irvine subtly transformed Sleeping Beauty Castle over four decades without sparking guest outrage • Why holiday overlays and anniversary bling eventually caused serious structural damage to the castle roof • The 60th anniversary decorations that led to a six-figure repair and a full castle roof replacement HOSTS • Jim Hill - IG: @JimHillMedia | X: @JimHillMedia | Website: JimHillMedia.com • Chris Cox - IG: @magiccox | X: @bigcox | Website: magiccox.com FOLLOW • Facebook: JimHillMediaNews • Instagram: JimHillMedia • TikTok: JimHillMedia SUPPORT Support the show and access bonus episodes and additional content at Patreon.com/JimHillMedia.

Today the Pugs welcome Dr. Scott Masson of Tyndale University onto the show. Scott is an Associate Professor of English and an authority on Romanticism. He also is known for his commitment to a recovery of classical learning. Today Scott reflects on the broken relationship between the humanities and theology and the disastrous consequences for higher education. He notes that this strikes right at the heart of the Christian faith because it separates the divine and human natures of the Son of God. He compares this to the broken sword Aduril from The Lord of the Rings and notes that the right ordering of our loves and the restoration of culture won't occur until the sword is reforged in the West. Join us for a great conversation.

THE ANACONDA STRATEGY AND THE NEO-ENGAGEMENT TRAP Colleagues James Fanell and Bradley Thayer. Fanell and Thayer discuss the "Joint Sword 2024 Alpha" exercises, describing them as an "Anaconda strategy" where the PRC practices suffocating Taiwan through blockades and missile strikes. Thayer argues that despite these overt threats, Washington remains captured by the "neo-engagement school," mistakenly believing that economic engagement can democratize China. They critique "elite capture" within US institutions, noting that the Bidenadministration has largely continued Obama-era policies rather than confronting the reality that the CCP is transforming international norms rather than being transformed by them.
