Message from The Summit Church, Raleigh-Durham, NC - February 15, 2026
In this episode, Britten LaRue is joined by Caroline Durlacher and Mellie Test for a conversation on staying with your magic when it's unclear, inspired by the Eight of Swords. Together they reflect on what it's like to be in a long creative process - where clarity doesn't always arrive on the timeline the mind wants - and how The Magician's Table can function as a container that supports devotion, experimentation, and self-recognition. They explore the tension between money as feedback and the ways it can distort our relationship to magic, while naming the relief and power of letting your practice be emergent: trusting transmission, honoring cave time, and creating without needing permission, justification, or proof. Topics They Cover: Returning to The Magician's Table twice: resistance, refinement, and the intelligence of coming back Money as feedback vs. money as proof and how tying magic to material success can cloud clarity Devotion to process: luxuriating in the process, experimentation, and letting your work evolve moment to moment Cave time, invisibility, and staying with your magic during unclear or non-linear seasons Self-recognition as the true initiation and claiming you are magical without needing external validation About Caroline Durlacher: Caroline Durlacher is a former literature & philosophy PhD candidate turned Emergent Business mentor for divergent thinkers & creative visionaries. She helps what she calls "Artists under Capitalism" & "Emergent Practitioners" turn their deep devotions & uncontainable work into online business ecosystems that generate wealth, visibility, and cultural power. When you're ready to make money by building worlds with your art, her work is for you. INSTAGRAM: @carolinedurlacher SUBSTACK: Ways of Knowing About Mellie Test: Mellie is a playful, multi-disciplinary practitioner and catalyst whose work spans movement, fitness, visual art, and design. She simultaneously holds the energies of The Fool and The Tower. Through her business, Magic with Mellie, magic becomes a lived practice of presence, perception, and showing up outside the box on a daily basis. Whether leading a class, creating artwork, or supporting clients through branding and web-related work, she is known for her catalytic impact. Rather than delivering fixed outcomes, she luxuriates in evolving processes to open perception, shift fields, and offer magic that continues unfolding long after a moment has passed. Mellie is a single mom and sole provider for a brilliant teenage son. They currently live in the mountains of Western Colorado, surrounded by landscapes that continually inspire.

In this episode, I sit down with Hannah Miller King to talk about hope when life doesn't resolve neatly. We explore what it means to live in the now and the not yet, how grief, loss, and unanswered prayers shape our faith, and why Christian hope isn't the same thing as optimism. We talk about the table, the Eucharist, and the idea that salvation is less about transaction and more about union with God. This conversation wrestles honestly with suffering, expectancy versus expectation, and the courage it takes to keep loving and hoping in a broken world - without rushing past the pain.Hannah Miller King is an Anglican priest and writer in western North Carolina.

Cross-posted to LessWrong.Summary History's most destructive ideologies—like Nazism, totalitarian communism, and religious fundamentalism—exhibited remarkably similar characteristics: epistemic and moral certainty extreme tribalism dividing humanity into a sacred “us” and an evil “them” a willingness to use whatever means necessary, including brutal violence. Such ideological fanaticism was a major driver of eight of the ten greatest atrocities since 1800, including the Taiping Rebellion, World War II, and the regimes of Stalin, Mao, and Hitler. We focus on ideological fanaticism over related concepts like totalitarianism partly because it better captures terminal preferences, which plausibly matter most as we approach superintelligent AI and technological maturity. Ideological fanaticism is considerably less influential than in the past, controlling only a small fraction of world GDP. Yet at least hundreds of millions still hold fanatical views, many regimes exhibit concerning ideological tendencies, and the past two decades have seen widespread democratic backsliding. The long-term influence of ideological fanaticism is uncertain. Fanaticism faces many disadvantages including a weak starting position, poor epistemics, and difficulty assembling broad coalitions. But it benefits from greater willingness to use extreme measures, fervent mass followings, and a historical tendency to survive and even thrive amid technological and societal upheaval.

God’s table is more than a place to eat; it’s where His kingdom comes to life. At the table, walls come down, outsiders find belonging, and broken lives begin to heal. Every seat we open and every meal we share becomes a powerful reminder that God’s welcome is wide and His love is abundant. The table isn’t just about food, it’s about reflecting the heart of Jesus to a world hungry for hope.
Die Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz ist vorbei – und hinterlässt ein überraschend geschlossenes europäisches Bild. Spaniens Sánchez, EU-Außenbeauftragte Kaja Kallas, Dänemarks Mette Frederiksen und der britische Premier traten so entschlossen für europäische Eigenständigkeit auf wie selten zuvor. Die emotionale Bindung an die USA ist einer nüchternen, professionellen Beziehung gewichen. Michael Bröcker zieht seine Bilanz der MSC. [01:19]Rheinmetall-CEO Armin Papperger war einer der gefragtesten Gesprächspartner der MSC. Bei Munition hat sein Unternehmen 70 Prozent europäischen Marktanteil erreicht und die Preise durch Skaleneffekte fast zweistellig gesenkt. Papperger macht klar, welche Dimension das Wachstum hat: „Wir werden eine Größenordnung von 300.000 Menschen beschäftigen – Rheinmetall mit der Lieferkette zusammen. Das ist ein Drittel der Automobilzulieferer-Industrie. Das ist ein riesiger Jobmotor." Sein erklärtes Ziel: europäischer Rüstungs-Champion. [05:51]Drohnen-Startup Quantum Systems gehört zu den spannendsten Verteidigungsunternehmen Europas. Gründer und Co-CEO Florian Seibel hat mit einer Finanzierungsrunde von 340 Millionen Euro die Bewertung auf drei Milliarden Euro verdreifacht und expandiert von der Luft- in die Land- und Seedomäne. Seine klare Botschaft an die Politik: „Das Thema unbemannte Systeme ist keine Modeerscheinung, sondern steht erst am Anfang. Wenn man einen europäischen Champion bauen will, muss man auch die Perspektive für die Unternehmen so gestalten, dass die finanzierbar werden." [12:16]Am Freitag trifft sich die CDU zum Bundesparteitag in Stuttgart. Friedrich Merz dürfte nach einer starken außenpolitischen Woche wenig Gegenwind erwarten.

Today on Around the School Table (xuno.com.au/podcasts), host Steve Davis is joined by James Thomas, Managing Director of Digital Education Partnerships Indonesia (DEPI) (depi.co.id). DEPI helps international edtech companies build trust and traction across Indonesia’s vast school landscape. It’s a market shaped by scale, complexity, and relationships. Early in the conversation, James breaks down what makes Indonesia unique. There are tens of millions of students and hundreds of thousands of schools. However, size is only one factor. Just as important is how schools communicate, buy, and implement systems. Next, the episode digs into a common assumption about “international schools”. Many people expect mature operations. Yet the reality can be mixed. James shares research across SPK schools (SPK stands for Satuan Pendidikan Kerja Sama, which translates to “Cooperative Education Unit.” These are Indonesian private schools officially licensed to deliver an international curriculum). While many use an LMS for learning, fewer rely on a dedicated school management system. As a result, critical workflows can remain manual. Importantly, James clarifies the difference between an LMS, an SMS, and an SIS layer. An LMS supports teaching and learning workflows. Meanwhile, an SMS runs operations like attendance, wellbeing, parent communication, events, and payments. Then, an SIS layer can connect systems without forcing a full replacement. Consequently, schools can reduce fragmentation and improve workflow reliability. Finance and payments emerge as a major pressure point. Schools often manage complex fee logic in spreadsheets. Unfortunately, one small change can trigger errors. In addition, many schools still depend on WhatsApp for parent communication. Because messages arrive constantly, teacher wellbeing can be impacted. The episode also explores safeguarding and reporting. James explains Indonesia’s TPPK mandate (TPPK stands for Tim Pencegahan dan Penanganan Kekerasan, which translates to Team for the Prevention and Handling of Violence) and why structured incident recording matters. Moreover, he shares why many rollouts fail. They’re treated as IT installs, not organisational change. Instead, James recommends phased implementation, clear ownership, and realistic priorities. If you’re a school leader reviewing systems, this episode offers a practical playbook. You’ll hear how to identify operational headaches, reduce risk, and build resilient school operations.

From Cajun Country to the French Riviera: Louisiana Meets France takes you on a lively, honest, and sometimes surprising journey through France with Annie Sargent and her guests, Renee Poche and Dixie Poche, a mother-daughter duo from Cajun Country in Louisiana. Listen to this episode ad-free This episode explores what happens when Cajun French culture meets modern France. Renee and Dixie share stories from their first trip together to Nice, Paris, Reims, and small towns along the way. They talk about expectations versus reality. They compare food, daily rhythms, and cultural habits. They reflect on what feels familiar and what feels very different. You'll hear about staying in a former convent in Nice. Walking the Old Town. Riding elevators up cliffs. Watching the noon cannon fire. There's champagne tasting in the Champagne region, with honest opinions about Reims versus Épernay. There's Versailles, with practical advice on timing and energy levels. There's Paris, explored slowly, on foot, with cafés, cemeteries, shopping, and a night at the Moulin Rouge. Food plays a big role in this conversation. Annie, Renee, and Dixie compare Cajun boudin and French andouille. They talk about sauces, spices, portions, and meal times. They also discuss how French fashion, walking culture, and city layouts influence how visitors experience France. This episode is about more than an itinerary. It's about traveling together. It's about mother-daughter dynamics on the road. It's about noticing small details. It's about how shared French roots can feel both close and distant at the same time. If you're curious about Cajun French culture Louisiana vs France, planning a first trip, or thinking about traveling with family, this episode will resonate.

Table breathing ~ Yo George / In the Springtime of His Voodoo (16 December 2007 - Los Angeles)
We will all experience different seasons of faith. At times, we are too "smart" to see the truth of Jesus. At other times, we are fully in love and immersed in his love. Then, we will have times when we reject Jesus because God doesn't fall in line with what we think is good. But regardless, we are always invited to come to the table and receive. Its only a question if we accept it.
THE TABLE ROUND, Chapter 8: Of the Journey to the King's Wedding In this well-crafted adaptation of the lives of King Arthur and his Knights, producer Morgan Z. Sowell presents the 8th chapter of the saga, in which we hear "Of the Journey to the King's Wedding". All of the lands of Albion are busy and bustling, readying themselves for the wedding of the High King Arthur to the lady Guinevere. Knights and ladies, merchants and laborers, all converge on the new capitol for the glorious event.

What if Reconstruction had gone differently? In the latest episode of Trey's Table, let's take a deep dive into the life and legacy of Thaddeus Stevens — one of the most radical and fearless champions of Black freedom in American history. After the Civil War, Stevens didn't just believe in ending slavery. He believed in economic justice. He proposed confiscating land from former Confederates — the very plantations where enslaved people had labored for generations — and redistributing that land to newly freed Black families. Not charity. Not temporary relief. Ownership. Stevens understood something many still struggle to admit: freedom without land, without capital, without economic power is incomplete. While others were satisfied with emancipation on paper, Stevens was fighting for transformation in reality. In this episode, we explore: •Why Stevens believed land redistribution was essential to true freedom •The political backlash he faced •How his proposal was defeated •And how America might look different today if his vision had been realized Reconstruction wasn't just about rebuilding the South. It was about redefining democracy. And Stevens was willing to go further than almost anyone else.

On Sunday 15th and Monday 16th of February 2026, we're going to be hosting ICEBREAKER, a two day fundraising marathon on twitch.tv/friendsatthetable to raise money for the Women's Foundation of Minnesota's Immigrant Rapid Response Fund! As Minnesota faces the brunt of a violent anti-immigrant crackdown, and ICE's cruelty continues to spread nationwide, we are inspired by the solidarity, community, and mutual aid demonstrated by those on the front lines of immigration justice. The WFM's Immigrant Rapid Response Fund distributes funding to organizations working to provide food, housing, rent relief, transportation and healthcare as well as legal support for immigrants, detainees, and their families. The fight for immigration justice is immensely important to us all. Please join us to help raise some money! In addition to streaming, new limited edition t-shirts will be available on the Friends at the Table store on Sunday 15th, featuring the incredible ICEBREAKER art by Conner Fawcett. For the months of February and March, all proceeds from any purchases made at friendsatthetable.shop will go to the Immigration Law Center of Minnesota, which provides free legal representation to immigrants and their families. After March, this t-shirt will no longer be available! Please stay tuned to our social media and here on Patreon for upcoming information about the schedule, as well as our fundraising goals. We'll be kicking off around 11am ET and going all day with a carefully selected blend of games, running the gamut from emergent multiplayer disasters to 90s educational software to — let me just check my notes here — it looks like someone's written down "Flegg Hell"? We'll see you on Sunday!

In this Dark Moon download, Britten speaks from the dark moon in Capricorn at the closing edge of the lunar cycle, as Saturn reaches the final degree of Pisces and prepares to move into Aries. She shares why these are a form of self-regulation and names the phrase that has been coming through really loud at the end of this cycle: living your refusals. Britten explores refusal as a sacred Saturnian function. An integrity-based "no" that clarifies what is loving, fair, and generative, and locates agency and authority. Reflecting on how abundance begins with no, she invites listeners to refuse collapse, perfectionism, and silence. And explains how to move from compassion into action. As the energy shifts from Pisces to Aries, she calls forward self-trust, sacred irritation as information, and the courage to free up energy for the dreams that want to come into form. +++ Learn More about The Magician's Table: The Magician's Table is a 3-month container for personal growth, community connection, and practice growing one's tools as an intuitive and magical practitioner.

Valentine's Day can stir up all kinds of longing, worry, and relational anxiety — especially if you love deeply and notice closeness and distance acutely.

A spiritual force is present in each of our homes, and we want to ensure that God's Holy Spirit has the authority over our kitchen tables and gathering spaces. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the importance of prioritizing hospitality and family meals during our busy weeks. He shares lessons we can learn from intentionally meeting together, like character formation, kindness, and integrity, and he teaches from three passages in the Gospels where we see Jesus share meals with His friends Lazarus, Mary, and Martha. In any season of life, we can find time and space to practice hospitality and pour into each other's lives—and let's determine to do so, because when we do, we honor our Lord Jesus.
