You'll discover how themes of sacrificial love, patient perseverance, and unexpected grace from The Lord of the Rings and across Middle Earth offer hope and practical wisdom for real-world connections. Perfect for Tolkien fans, literature lovers, and anyone seeking deeper meaning in their relationships - whether romantic, family, or friendship.

Turning 50 is a big deal, especially for a classic like Jaws, and boy, does it have a lot to teach us about podcasting. Picture this: a film that was barely held together by duct tape and creativity, yet it became a cultural phenomenon. The behind-the-scenes drama? A mechanical shark that was more trouble than it was worth and a filming schedule that doubled in time. But instead of throwing in the towel, Steven Spielberg and crew got creative. They used suspense, killer music, and a whole lot of storytelling to keep audiences on the edge of their seats. So, what's the takeaway for us podcasters? Just like the Jaws team had to adapt, we can make magic with what we've got, even if our gear isn't top-notch. We don't need the fanciest mics or perfect lighting to tell our stories — sometimes, limitations spark the most creativity. So grab that old mic, hit record, and let's make something awesome!Takeaways: Sometimes, not having everything you need can spark more creativity than you think. Jaws was a mess behind the scenes but turned into a classic anyway, so chill! If Spielberg can make a shark out of a broken toy, you can too! Starting small with what you have can lead to amazing skills and growth. Your podcast journey doesn't need fancy gear; it needs your unique voice. Creativity often thrives in the chaos of not having everything perfectly lined up.

Michael Tait. Robert Morris. Mark Driscoll. Ravi Zacharias. Are you tired of celebrity preachers? I am, and I think that's why the story of John Dyer fascinates me. My guess is that you've never heard of him. But I have come to learn that he played a significant role in the spread of the Gospel in Colorado and throughout the Mountain West, and his life has some lessons for us today, especially in this age of celebrity. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. Until next time, may God bless you.
People are worried about a lot of things at the moment, but one thing near the top of everyone's list is a war between the US and China over the fate of Taiwan. What most people have forgotten is that the US already fought a war with China. It's easy to overlook this previous conflict because we called it the Korean War (and initially it wasn't even called a war). This is understandable given that it took place in Korea. As such, it's forgivable to overlook the huge Chinese involvement. But for most of the war the Chinese were our primary opponents. (At its peak 80% of enemy troops were Chinese.) Can we draw any lessons from our last war with China when considering the possible outcomes of a future war with the same adversary? There are certainly worse places to look for information. The first thing we might look at is the outcome. How did we do? How did the war end? This part, at least, most people remember. It ended in a draw. After costing the lives of at least four million people (soldiers and civilians) the final truce line was very close to the original dividing line of the 38th parallel.

In his new memoir, An Exercise In Uncertainty, journalist and editor Jonathan Gluck chronicles more than 20 years of living with multiple myeloma, an incurable but treatable cancer. He joined me to talk about how he's coped with illness, why he chose this moment to write about it, and, most importantly, how he's learned to deal with a condition all of us face to one degree or another: uncertainty. Jon explains the concept of “predemption”—a mindset that's helped him find something positive, even in the toughest moments—and describes the invisible aspects of cancer, how it affected family dynamics, and the honest conversations he's had with his kids about his condition. He reflects on the strain illness can have on relationships, especially marriage, and how fly fishing became a crucial form of therapy and connection. GUEST BIO Jonathan Gluck is a writer and editor whose work has appeared in The New York Times and The Washington Post. He was deputy editor of New York magazine for ten years, after which he worked as managing editor of Vogue. His work has been recognized with multiple National Magazine Awards.

In the days since President Trump sent the National Guard and Marines to quell protests in Los Angeles, demonstrations against ICE raids have been held across the Bay Area and nationwide. This weekend's “No Kings” protests, timed to the day of President Trump's military parade, are expected to draw large crowds across the country. We take this moment to look back at times when protests have been successful instigators of change, and times when protests may have hurt a movement. What does it mean to have a successful protest? Who is the audience and how are they persuaded? And what should demonstrators know in this modern age of surveillance about the risks of hitting the streets and safeguards that can be taken.

Q: I was reading Daniel 10 recently, and there's some wild stuff in there I'd love to get your thoughts on. Daniel's fasting and mourning for three weeks, and then he's finally met by an angel. The angel says he was sent in response to Daniel's prayer but was delayed for 21 days by the 'spirit prince of Persia.' He goes on to say he left Michael the archangel there to continue fighting the prince of Persia while he came to deliver the message. Then he also mentions needing to go back to fight the 'prince of Greece.' So, I'm just really curious—what does this say about spiritual warfare? More specifically, what do we make of the fact that God sent an angel, but the answer to prayer was apparently delayed by a demonic power? What can we take away from this? How can we apply it to our lives today? Summary In this conversation, Dr. E and Hanna discuss Daniel 10 and what it reveals about spiritual warfare. Prompted by a listener's question about the delayed response to Daniel's prayer, they unpack the unseen realities at play when Daniel is told that his answer was hindered by the “prince of Persia” and aided by the archangel Michael. Dr. E emphasizes that while the Bible gives us glimpses into spiritual battles, it does not provide exhaustive detail. What we do know, from passages like Ephesians 6, is that spiritual warfare is real, it's unseen, and it involves powers beyond human comprehension. Rather than focusing on deliverance language or engaging demons directly, Dr. E stresses the biblical instruction to stand firm, remain alert, and stay rooted in Christ and His Word. The passage reminds us that God's answers to prayer may be delayed—not because He is absent—but because of realities we cannot see. While the idea of angels battling behind the scenes may be mysterious or unsettling, it ultimately points us back to trusting in God's sovereign control. The call for believers is not to fight these battles ourselves but to remain faithful, prayerful, and grounded in biblical truth. Takeaways: Daniel 10 offers a rare glimpse into spiritual warfare, showing unseen conflict among angelic beings. The delay in Daniel's answered prayer reflects a spiritual battle, not God's negligence. Believers should not attempt to “pray out” demons, but instead stand firm in Christ. Scripture teaches us to be alert, resist, and lean on God's word—not to engage directly in cosmic battles. Evil and spiritual principalities often explain what human reasoning cannot, especially societal violence. We trust in God's sovereignty even when we don't fully understand how or why delays occur in the spiritual realm. Links Mentioned: Constable's Notes Find more episodes of Ask Dr. E here.

In this unforgettable conversation, New York Times bestselling author and investigative journalist Lee Strobel joins Ginny Yurich to explore the unseen realm—where science, faith, and mystery collide. Drawing from his newest book Seeing the Supernatural, Strobel shares powerful, documented stories of near-death experiences, angelic encounters, supernatural dreams, and miracle healings that challenge modern assumptions about consciousness, death, and the afterlife. This episode is about evidence—not speculation—and what it might mean for how we live today. Whether you're a person of faith, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, this conversation offers an invitation to think deeply about life's biggest questions. Strobel's journey from atheism to belief reveals that small acts—like offering cookies to a neighbor—can ripple through eternity. It's a reminder that the way we parent, pray, and even play is shaped not just by the visible world, but also by what we can't yet see.

CNN's Fareed Zakaria joins host Steve Paikin for a wide-ranging discussion on the tumultuous state of play in the world today. He is the author of "Age of Revolutions: Progress and Backlash from 1600 to the Present," and a columnist for The Washington Post. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The meaning and socio-political implementation of the term “multiculturalism” has become a flashpoint throughout the West. Supporters of multiculturalism argue that societies that embrace diverse norms and values are not only more dynamic and vibrant, they are also more just and represent the ideal form of the modern democratic state. On the other hand, critics of multiculturalism argue that permitting or deliberately engineering a society that embraces different and even contradictory norms and values is not only incoherent, it undermines the very foundation of a stable civic order. What can Catholicism contribute to this often rancorous debate? Amidst all the diversity within the Church, it remains theologically, morally, and institutionally unified. What makes this possible, and what lessons does it have for the wider world?

As they unpack the psychological wounds left by their father's perceived favoritism, a deeper truth emerges: healing comes not from acquiring more, but from seeing the divine in one another. Through a close reading of the text, they reveal how these once-bitter rivals move beyond envy, offering a profound lesson on finding wholeness in our relationships.For more on Rabbi Fohrman's reading of the deception story, see this essay from his book Genesis: A Parsha Companion, as well as this video Why Did Rebecca Trick Her Husband Isaac.
