On a very special episode of the Take-Up podcast, Josh and Andrew peer into the memory palace of Sophy Romvari's semi-auto-biographical debut Blue Heron, giving their own two cents on one of the most acclaimed films of the year. Praising the introspection and heartbreak, they admire the dedication to the late-90s childhood period drama that manages to hold its own against the other semi-biographical late 90s childhood trauma drama they inevitably compare it to.Comparisons aside, prepare for a deep discussion about regret and loss for a movie that provides the most therapeutic Take-Up episode yet. Next, they have One More Thing, bringing up Kate Folk's objectophilic tale of love, sex, death, and plane crashes in her novel Sky Daddy, and Milagros Mumenthaler's hydrophobia-centered psychological drama The Currents.In two weeks, on the Take-Up's 105th episode (or 100th, according to JoshMath), our hosts will do the impossible and look back on their past talks and figure out if any of the films they discussed deserve a spot on the Take-Up Canon. Finally, they will answer the question: Does Gus van Sant's Psycho get to be in the canon?

The fight from the Trump Administration against mail-in voting continues today. Over the weekend, an appeals court sided against the President, saying he's not allow to impose restrictions on mail-in voting. Now, President Trump is taking that fight to the United States Supreme Court. Greg and Jim are both skeptical of a win for the administration; they explain why.

It's time to do all of the above. Tune in to begin.
We are in the middle of spiritual combat. "Dressed For Battle" is our series at Fusion Christian Church about winning that combat by wearing the Armor of God. In week six, Pastor Zac preaches about the importance of the Sword of the Spirit.If you leave your sword at home, don't be surprised when you lose the battle.Amidst the Armor of God there is only one weapon. If we go to battle without it we will never gain any ground and will inevitably lose. That is why it is so important for the Christian to arm himself with the sword of the spirit. Not only that, but we must train with it so we know how to handle it rightly.Picking up the sword protects us from believing the lies.Similar to the Helmet of Salvation, the sword serves as protection against deception. The helmet protects the mind, while the sword goes on the offense and cuts through the lies. Since the sword of the spirit is the scriptures and the scriptures are true, they provide a powerful antidote to the poison of deception.It prepares you to fulfill God's purpose for your life.Knowing the word of God helps us to understand who God is and his plan for both creation and our salvation. If we become confused about our purpose, studying the bible helps us gain clarity about how we fit into God's designs. The bible doesn't give you specific advice about every decision you make, but it does set you up on the path of wisdom. The bible teaches us how to think and act with discernment, setting us up to make wise choices. God's will is for us to grow in wisdom so that we can make good choices that honor him.When you take up the sword of the Spirit, God's word becomes your delight and your life.Many people find reading the bible to be a drudgery, but this will not remain the case if we commit ourselves to it. The more the Christian commits to reading and studying God's word, the more he will understand it. The more understanding we have of scripture the more enjoyment we gain when reading it. It soon becomes a joyful act to read through the scriptures.
In Part IX of our **"Putting It All On"** series, Pastor Art Corral teaches on the final piece of God's armor that equips believers for both defense and victory—the **Sword of the Spirit**, which is the Word of God. In a world filled with spiritual battles, God's Word is more than a book—it's living, powerful, and the only offensive weapon given to every believer. Pastor Art reminds us that the Bible is our authority, our guide, and our source of strength, encouraging us not just to know Scripture, but to live it through a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit. Whether you're facing temptation, discouragement, fear, or uncertainty, this message will challenge you to take up your sword, stand firm in God's promises, and walk confidently as the victorious child of God He has called you to be. **Scripture References:** Ephesians 6:14–17, Hebrews 4:12, Psalm 119, 2 Timothy 3:15–17, Isaiah 55:11, Romans 1:16, and more. Be encouraged, be equipped, and remember: **the battle belongs to the Lord, but He has given you everything you need to stand.**
Woody Russell’s “Cross This River, Take Up This Fight” settles into a steady, rootsy groove, with warm acoustic textures and vocals that feel both weathered and inviting.

Take Up the Shield of Faith | Putting It All On (Part VII) In Part VII of the Putting It All On series, Pastor Art Corral continues the journey through the Armor of God by focusing on the Shield of Faith. Drawing from Ephesians 6:10–16, this powerful message reminds believers that the Christian life is lived on a spiritual battlefield—and victory belongs to those who stand firm in faith. Learn why the shield of faith is more than symbolic; it's God's protection against the enemy's lies, fear, doubt, temptation, and discouragement. Pastor Art challenges us to stop fighting the wrong battles, put on the full armor of God, and trust Him completely through every season of life. Whether you're facing spiritual attacks, personal struggles, or simply need encouragement to keep moving forward, this message will strengthen your faith and remind you that God has equipped you to overcome. Scripture: Ephesians 6:10–16 Real faith. Real change.
Sermon for the Sixth Sunday after Pentecost (A) Sunday, 5 July A+D 2026 Rev. Matthew D. Ruesch
State Farm recently made headlines by flying thousands of its agents to Las Vegas for what turned out to be a dramatic announcement. Behind the Pink concert and Jimmy Fallon selfies, CEO quietly told 19,000 agents he was tearing up their contracts. Anyone staying past 2027 would face lower commissions, lost deferred compensation, and eliminated health benefits. The move signals a massive shift in how one of America’s most storied insurance companies sees its future, and it raises serious questions about what happens when a legacy distribution model collides head-on with a technology-driven competitor. This is just one of the topics that Pirates Christopher Lochhead, Eddie Yoon and Bri Clark discuss on this episode of Pirate Street Journal. Each week, the Category Pirates pick three headlines worth paying attention to and break down the category underneath. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go. State Farm Built an Empire on Agents, Now It’s Cutting Them State Farm is a 104-year-old company built by one Illinois farmer and a network that grew to serve towns too small for anyone else to bother with. That agent network was the moat, the community trust, and the competitive advantage all rolled into one. For decades, agents generated millions in gross revenue through a subscription-like model where selling a homeowner’s policy meant locking in years of recurring premiums. This year, Progressive took the personal auto crown that State Farm had held since World War Two. Progressive sells more than half its auto policies direct, with no agent, powered by AI. State Farm’s response was to bolt an AI initiative onto the same announcement that gutted its agent program, which is a move that many see as too little, too late. The Real Opportunity State Farm Is Missing Not all agents are created equal, and this is where State Farm’s leadership may be making its biggest error. There are proactive agents who see disruption as opportunity and reactive ones who are already a cost liability. The CEO’s sweeping contract changes treat both groups the same, when the smarter play would be identifying and doubling down on the proactive agents who are the true super consumers of the agent ecosystem. The same logic applies to policy holders. Insurance is a category that can be Money-balled. Some consumers genuinely love insurance, actively seek coverage, and represent enormous lifetime value. Cutting costs to chase switchers who only care about price is a race to the bottom. State Farm should instead be finding ways to use AI to make its best agents more effective and its best customers more loyal, not abandoning the human relationships that made it dominant in the first place. The Jevons Paradox and What It Means for State Farm A critical lesson from the technology world applies directly to what State Farm is navigating. When AI began generating code, experts predicted the end of software engineering jobs. New data from Signal Fire, which tracked millions of employees across 80 million companies, shows engineers now represent 55% of all new hires at the biggest tech companies, up from 46% in 2019. AI did not kill the job. It made people who do the job more valuable. The same principle could apply to insurance agents. AI handling the routine, administrative, and analytical parts of an agent’s work should free those agents to do what humans do best, which is build trust. Humans love humans, and in a category as personal as insurance, that truth matters enormously. State Farm’s leadership would be wise to remember that the agent on Main Street is not just a cost line. That agent is often the only reason a customer stayed loyal through decades of competing offers.

As we continue our series through the book of Nehemiah, Stephen picks up where Joren left off last week, exploring God's invitation for each of us to partner with Him in the good works He has prepared for us (Ephesians 2:10). Whether you're stepping into a new job, ministry, project, or season of life, this message offers practical biblical encouragement for the journey ahead. Drawing from Nehemiah's example, Stephen shares key insights on how to move forward with faith, wisdom, and perseverance. The challenge: take up the shovel, representing the work God has called you to do, and the sword, representing prayer and the armour of God. As we faithfully serve and depend on Him, we discover the strength to build what He has called us to build, not in our own ability, but through His power.

Dozens of House Democrats are urging the Trump administration to abandon its proposal for a governmentwide non-disclosure agreement. The lawmakers say an NDA for federal employees would only serve to intimidate and silence them. They are demanding details on the scope of the proposed NDA, and how workers would still be able to make protected disclosures. Lawmakers sent their demands in a letter to the Office of Personnel Management, after the proposed NDA plans were released last month.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JUDGES 13:2-5
JUDGES 13:2-5
Jesus Says “Self-Denial” Is Required of Jesus Followers: “let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me" MESSAGE SUMMARY: In a time in which we hear so much about self-help, self-image, and self-actualization, Jesus is saying self-denial is the way to life. Jesus tells us, in Matthew 16:24, that self-denial is a key element in following Him: “Then Jesus told his disciples, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.'". “Taking up one's cross” means to die to self-ambitions. When we die to our self-ambitious and put them on the cross, Jesus' life moves through us: “Not my will but Thy will.”. By denying self, we become alive in Jesus; and His Spirit flows through us – we experience eternal life and abundant life. TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, everything in me resists following you into the garden of Gethsemane to fall on my face to the ground before you. Grant me the courage to follow you all the way to the cross, whatever that might mean for my life. And then, by your grace, lead me to resurrection life and power. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 100). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that, because I am in Jesus Christ, I will seek God's perspective on my situation. For I know that in all things God works together for good to those of us who love Him and are called according to His purpose.

Starting off their dare of including silent films into the Take-Up canon, Josh and Andrew watch F.W Murnau's class-conscious drama The Last Laugh. Tackling the miserablist story of status, our hosts discuss the film's political connections with Weimar Germany, its place in film history, the immense talent of Emil Jannings, and a mixed response to the "studio-note" ending.Then, they have One More Thing, bringing up the Tippi Hedren “ferocious comedy” Roar (yes, that Roar) and the 70s adaptations of the fictional Japanese murder mystery detective Kosuke Kindaichi, including The Inugami Family. Next week, Josh and Andrew continue their journey with Dziga Vertov's Soviet documentary Man with a Movie Camera.

Jesus Followers Seek First God's Will, and then They “Die” to their Self-Ambitions and Self-Appetites and Take Up Their Cross MESSAGE SUMMARY: In a time in which we hear so much about self-help, self-image, and self-actualization, Jesus is saying self-denial is the way to life for Jesus Followers. Jesus tells us, in Matthew 16:24, that self-denial is a key element in following Him: “Then Jesus told his disciples, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.'". “Taking up one's cross” means to die to self-ambitions and self-appetites. When we die to our self-ambitious and self-appetites, we put them on the cross; and Jesus' life moves through us: “Not my will but Thy will.”. By denying self, we become alive in Jesus; and His Spirit flows through us – we experience eternal life and abundant life. TODAY'S PRAYER: Most merciful God I confess that I have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what I have done, and by what I have left undone. I have not loved you with my whole heart; I have not loved my neighbors as myself. I am truly sorry and I humbly repent. For the sake of your son Jesus Christ, have mercy on me and forgive me; that I might delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of Your Name. Amen. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Past Failures. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Grace. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5).
