What do we make of times in scripture where violence occurs, especially when the destruction comes because of God's commands? In this episode, Professor David M. Calabro discusses his article "'Thou Shalt Utterly Destroy': Understanding the Biblical Ḥērem", which grapples with the troubling and often misunderstood concept of ḥērem—the ritualized devotion of people, cities, and goods to God that appears in the conquest narratives of Deuteronomy and Joshua. Calabro explains that while ḥērem is frequently read today as indiscriminate violence or genocide, its ancient meaning is far more complex. Rooted linguistically in ideas of holiness and consecration, ḥērem reflects an ancient Near Eastern way of framing warfare in theological, often hyperbolic terms. By placing Israel's scriptures alongside archaeological evidence, inscriptions from neighboring cultures, and restored gospel truths, the episode shows how biblical language of total destruction functioned within a shared cultural hyperbolic idiom, and that ḥērem is not ultimately about ethnicity or nationality, but about covenant loyalty, repentance, and one's response to God. Rather than resolving all moral and theological questions, Calabro's work invites listeners to read these texts with greater historical awareness, humility, and a willingness to work with God to understand His ways.

On this episode, we look back at the legendary career of the great Robert Duvall! From THE GODFATHER to APOCALYPSE NOW to TENDER MERCIES to NETWORK, and everything in-between, Duvall was a staple in Hollywood for decades. One of the very best to ever do it.

“Momma stopped my trust fund out of spite.” Tender Mercies (1983) directed by Bruce Beresford and starring Robert Duvall, Tess Harper, Allan Hubbard, Betty Buckley, Ellen Barkin and Wilford Brimley Next Time: Amsterdamned (1988)
Devin & James are back in the DEN OF CIN with a tribute to actor/writer/director ROBERT DUVALL! Few other artists have had such a long lasting impact on the art form as Duvall, with parts in many of the most important movies ever made, in both supporting and lead roles. We start off with a list of the expected must-see classics, such as The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, M*A*S*H, and Network (to name just a few), but we deep dive into a selection of Duvall films that tend to get less attention in the modern era than the typical "greatest hits" of his filmography. We start with a look into his supporting role in Francis Ford Coppola's THE RAIN PEOPLE, and then dive into long form conversations about his many starring roles, including the criminally underseen THE OUTFIT, his Oscar winning country music masterpiece TENDER MERCIES, family drama THE GREAT SANTINI, Dennis Hopper's still controversial COLORS with Sean Penn, the self-written & directed THE APOSTLE, and the 21st century western OPEN RANGE. Along the way, we get into side conversations about THX-1138, TOMORROW, THE STONE BOY, FALLING DOWN, JOE KIDD, TRUE CONFESSIONS, and THE JUDGE, as well as probably the weirdest, most random cameo of all time in the remake of INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS. Join us for all of these, and even a few more, as we celebrate over 60 years of cinema with Robert Duvall!
Betty Buckley joins the show to discuss her deep connection to storytelling and the spiritual "calling" she first felt at eleven years old while watching the original Bob Fosse choreography in Pajama Game. She shares incredible stories from her early days in Texas, including her time as a teenage rodeo reporter and the persistent friction with her father regarding her pursuit of a career in show business. Betty also reflects on the power of the "11 O'clock Number," her legendary debut at Carnegie Hall, and why she firmly believes she is responsible for the modern usage of the word "dude". The conversation dives into her yearly residency at Joe's Pub and her role as an artist in residence at Mercyhurst University, where she leads acting workshops. Betty offers her enthusiastic "blessing" to the new Cats: "The Jellicle Ball" production, noting how the original score remains a brilliant social statement in its new ballroom culture setting. From her childhood "super weapon" voice to her studies in comparative world religions, this episode is a masterclass in staying true to one's essence while navigating a decades long iconic career. Betty Buckley is a Tony Award winning actress and singer and a Theater Hall of Fame inductee. Her legendary career includes starring roles in Cats, Sunset Boulevard, Triumph of Love, 1776, and Pippin. On screen, she has appeared in films such as Carrie, Tender Mercies, and Split, as well as the hit television series Eight is Enough and Law and Order: SVU.

Gracia es el favor inmerecido de Dios. No es por algo que haya en nosotros, sino a pesar de nosotros. La Iglesia entiende en Hechos 15 que la salvación es sólo por Gracia. Cuando añades algo al mérito de Jesús, sea tanto un ritual como la circuncisión y el bautismo, o nuestras obras al cumplir la Ley de Dios, no sumamos, sino restamos a la obra de Cristo. En este programa de Ruta 66, escuchamos tras la sintonía, esta vez a cargo del grupo australiano Jo Jo Zep y The Falcons en Melbourne en vivo a finales del 77, la canción del León de Belfast, Van Morrison, "En busca de Gracia" en su reciente maravilloso álbum, "Tres acordes y la verdad" (Three Cords & The Truth 2019). Chris Martin creció en una familia cristiana inglesa en Devon, donde asistía con sus padres a la capilla evangélica Belmont en Exeter. Se distanció luego del cristianismo, llamándose ahora en Coldplay, no ateo, sino "todoteo" (alltheist), o sea que cree que Dios está en todo. Sin embargo, cuando pasa tiempos difíciles, espera que "Dios ponga una sonrisa en su cara" (God Put A Smile Upon My Face 2022). Más claramente evangélico es el himno que canta en su último disco, el cantante de Led Zeppelin, Robert Plant, buscando la "Gracia salvadora" (Saving Grace 2025) con la esposa del baterista de su banda, Suzi Dian en el "Arado del Evangelio" (Gospel Plough), un cántico espiritual tradicional afroamericano, que incluyo Dylan en su primer álbum. La película que más transmite la atracción del ahora fallecido actor Robert Duvall por la fe evangélica, junto a su obra más personal, "Camino al Cielo" (The Apostle 1997), es la que se conoce en España como "Gracias y favores" (Tender Mercies 1983) y en Hispanoamérica como "El precio de la felicidad". Dirigida por el australiano Bruce Beresford, fue escrita por su amigo Horton Foote y le valió, no sólo el Oscar al mejor actor, sino también uno de los más claros ejemplos de conversión que ha mostrado el cine. Es la historia de este cantante de country, alcoholizado, que nace de nuevo y se bautiza, tras casarse con una viuda joven, adoptando su hijo en un pequeño motel de la América profunda. La música que acompaña esta vez los comentarios de José de Segovia, está hecha con Inteligencia Artificial. No podía faltar para hablar de la Gracia, el himno evangélico que más claramente da testimonio de su poder en la vida de su autor, John Newton (1725-1807, antiguo traficante de esclavos, convertido en predicador del Evangelio que inspira la fe del abolicionista Wilberforce. Lo oímos en la voz de otro músico cristiano de fe atormentada, Johnny Cash en su disco de 1975. Acabamos el programa con la sorprendente oración a "Jesús" del judío Lou Reed, junto a la mítica formación neoyorquina The Velvet Underground, que creó el artista Andy Warhol. "Jesus" apareció en su disco de 1969, ya sin la cantante y modelo alemana Nico: "¡Jesús, ayúdame a encontrar mi lugar! / En mi debilidad / porque he caído de la Gracia".
Original Release Date: Monday 16 March 2026 Description: This week's show begins with Dean and Phil discussing the World Baseball Classic and sharing (and answering) an email from a loyal listener who wanted to celebrate the recent 25th Anniversary of Dean's series “The Lone Gunmen”. Recorded on Sunday morning before the Oscars (and before the big “Firefly” announcement), the bulk of the discussion surrounds what Dean and Phil are looking for at Hollywood's big night. They discuss how talented filmmaker and entertaining video host Ryan Casselman might just have devised scientific formulae for “decoding” Oscar voting. The controversy surrounding Timothée Hal Chalamet's comments regarding ballet and opera get full analysis. Then, five films go under the microscope, including two by classic thriller director Henri-Georges Clouzot, two tales of nuclear paranoia from Oscar-winner Kathryn Bigelow, and the multi-Oscar-winning 1983 classic Tender Mercies
God contrasts the kindnesses of the righteous and the wicked. I. The Kindness of the Righteous A. Regarding animals B. Regarding other people [lesser to greater] II. The Kindness of the Wicked A. The natural inclination of the wicked is toward cruelty B. Yet, the wicked regard such as being "tender mercies" C. Scriptural examples 1. Balaam and his ass (Numbers 22:22-32) 2. Judah sold Joseph (Genesis 37:26-28) 3. Nahash threatening to blind the right eyes (I Sam. 11:1-2) 4. Rehoboam treated his own people with contempt Observation—examples of cruelty to avoid Application A. Understand why this contrast is in this verse B. Look by faith to Jesus, who suffered greatly from cruel tender mercy: Matthew 27:34; Luke 23:13-16
God contrasts the kindnesses of the righteous and the wicked. I. The Kindness of the Righteous A. Regarding the animals 1. Because it makes sense—animals are his servants 2. Because the beast is God's creature 3. Providing for beasts (Deuteronomy 22:6-7; 25:4) B. Surely we can argue from the lesser to the greater C. To whom is the righteous man to be merciful? 1. His animals—Genesis 24:19, 32; 33:13-14 2. His enemies—Psalm 35:11-16 3. His children—Colossians 3:21 4. His wife—Colossians 3:19; I Peter 3:7 Application A.

Luke 7:11-15 (widow who had lost her only son) 3. Luke 7:19-23 (answer given to John's disciples) 4. John 20:11-18 5. How do we do this? a. Make sure that you're engaged in kind acts with a view to God's glory b. May your kindnesses be offered as gratitude for Christ's sacrifice (1) Not as something that is meritorious (2) Offered as good works on the basis of Christ's atonement c. Rely on Christ's imputed righteousness (1) Those deeds of kindness were in fulfillment of the law (2) Therefore, embrace Him and trust in His righteousness
"The English have Shakespeare, the French have Molière, and the Russians have Dostoyevsky. What do we own? What do we have? The Western".A few weeks we lost a great and legendary actor who was also one of our top favourite actors. The great Robert Duvall passed away at the age of 95 on the 15th of February 2026. An actor regarded for his amazing versatility, immense range of performances, an actor who always strived for authenticity and realism. He could be big and theatrically booming but he could also be low-key and subtle. A terrific actor. He starred in many films. The Godfather, The Conversation, The Godfather Part 2, Network, Lonesome Dove, Tender Mercies, Jack Reacher, Days of Thunder, Falling Down, To Kill a Mockingbird, M*A*S*H and of course Apocalypse Now. One of the most dedicated and respected actors of his generation. We wanted to pay tribute to Duvall on this episode and hope we did a good job with that.

This special episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show honors the life and legacy of Robert Duvall, who recently transitioned to the next plane of existence at the age of 95. Duvall's extraordinary career includes unforgettable performances in The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Tender Mercies. His cult film classics include THX 1138, The Killer Elite, Colors, and Falling Down. Yet it was The Apostle — Duvall's passion project — that may stand as his most intimate and fearless work. In the film, he portrays Euliss F. "Sonny" Dewey, a Pentecostal preacher battling inner demons who, after committing murder, flees to Louisiana and reinvents himself as "The Apostle E.F.," and builds a multiracial church. Longtime listeners know the very special place "Bobby D" and The Apostle hold in the history of this show and in Chauncey's own life journey. For this celebration of life and remembrance, Chauncey is joined by the Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush, President and CEO of Interfaith Alliance. A leading advocate for civil rights and religious freedom, they reflect on Duvall's embodiment of The Apostle E.F., the film's portrayal of charismatic Christian traditions, the power of faith, and its meditation(s) on the color line and our shared humanity and life journeys. Together, they consider the meaning of Chauncey DeVega's and The Apostle E.F.'s "holy ghost walks" — and how our bodies can become sites of freedom, resistance, and power in dark and oppressive times. On this episode of the podcast, Chauncey also shares his thoughts about Trump's war of choice against Iran, our political vertigo and the worsening disaster. WHERE CAN YOU FIND ME?

Let us begin with the death penalty. Because we refuse to execute the dangerous people who really should be executed, we wind up having to protect the general population by locking them up, and this has drifted into the practice of locking everybody up.

Robert Duvall Passed Away at 95, and it Seems too Soon This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl honor the legendary Robert Duvall, break down the latest Warner Bros. Discovery and Skydance merger talks, and review the penultimate episode of HBO's A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Corporate power plays and Westerosi lances collide. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Robert Duvall: 3:51 Warner Bros/Skydance: 9:07 A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: 23:43 Robert Duvall January 5, 1931 – February 15, 2026 Robert Duvall was one of the defining American actors of the modern era. A founding member of the American Film Theatre movement and a classmate of Dustin Hoffman and Gene Hackman at the Neighborhood Playhouse, Duvall built a career on discipline, restraint, and volcanic presence. Career Highlights: Tom Hagen in The Godfather (1972) and The Godfather Part II (1974) – The calm consigliere in a world of chaos. Controlled, intellectual menace. Lt. Colonel Bill Kilgore in Apocalypse Now (1979) – “I love the smell of napalm in the morning.” One of cinema's most iconic performances. Oscar Winner for Tender Mercies (1983) – Best Actor for his deeply human portrayal of a broken country singer. The Great Santini (1979) – A towering, volatile performance that earned him an Academy Award nomination. Lonesome Dove (1989) – Cemented his legacy in the Western genre. Later career standouts: The Apostle (which he also wrote and directed), Open Range, The Judge. Duvall's strength was subtle authority. He never chased flash. He built characters from the inside out. In an industry obsessed with volume, he mastered quiet. Hollywood didn't just lose a legend. It lost a craftsman. https://variety.com/2026/film/news/paramount-skydance-response-warner-bros-discovery-deal-talks-1236665757/ Warner Bros./Skydance Will They/Won’t They Warner Bros. Discovery has reportedly reopened acquisition discussions with Skydance and Paramount, injecting fresh volatility into an already chaotic media landscape. Paramount previously floated a $30 per share offer, potentially rising to $31. Meanwhile, shareholder votes and competing interests continue to complicate the picture. This is consolidation round… what, 47? The real question is what this means for IP control, franchise strategy, and the long-term survival of mid-budget filmmaking. Every merger promises “synergy.” Historically, synergy often translates to layoffs, canceled projects, and fewer creative risks. We break down what this could mean for DC Studios, HBO prestige content, and the streaming wars at large. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (HBO Max) Season 1, Episode 5 (Penultimate Episode) Episode Title: “In the Name of the Mother” Directed by: Owen Harris Written by: Hiram Martinez & Ti Mikkel and Ira Parker Summary: The trial of seven begins. In the first charge, Aerion knocks Dunk off his horse. In a series of flashbacks to Dunk’s childhood, he and his friend Rafe scavenge from a battlefield. They return to Flea Bottom in King’s Landing and pickpocket from Alester, a City Watchman. Dunk and Rafe attempt to buy passage to the Free Cities in Essos, but cannot afford it. Alester corners them and takes their money. Rafe steals Alester’s dagger, but he notices and slits her throat. Arlan emerges from a tavern and kills Alester, saving Dunk, who then follows Arlan on his travels. In the present, Dunk duels Aerion on foot until both men collapse from injury. After Dunk falls unconscious, Aerion declares him dead. Egg begs Dunk to get up, and the crowd chants for Dunk as he stands. Dunk and Aerion resume their duel until Dunk gets the upper hand. Aerion yields and withdraws his accusation. In the aftermath, Beesbury and Hardyng are confirmed as killed. Dunk pledges fealty to Baelor. Raymun and Pate help Baelor remove his helmet, which Maekar struck with his mace during the trial, revealing a fatal wound. Baelor collapses from his injury and dies in Dunk’s arms. The jousting sequences are shot with brutal realism. Armor feels heavy. Impacts feel dangerous. The episode underscores a central thesis of Martin's work: nobility is aspirational, not guaranteed. Key Cast: Peter Claffey as Ser Duncan the Tall Dexter Sol Ansell as Prince Aegon “Egg” Targaryen Finn Bennett as Aerion Targaryen Bertie Carvel as Baelor Targaryen Sam Spruell as Maekar Targaryen Production Notes: The series distinguishes itself from House of the Dragon by focusing on intimate political storytelling rather than large-scale spectacle. The penultimate episode prioritizes character psychology, legacy, and the myth of knighthood over spectacle-driven chaos.

Hollywood lost a legend with the passing of Robert Duvall. On this episode, we remember one of the greatest actors of his generation — a quiet giant whose performances defined toughness, vulnerability, and authenticity on screen. From Tom Hagen in The Godfather, to Lt. Col. Kilgore in Apocalypse Now, to his Oscar-winning turn in Tender Mercies, Duvall brought gravitas to every role.

What if one of the most powerful testimonies of God's love in the scriptures comes from a woman whose story we often skip over? In this episode, BYU professor of ancient scripture Amy Easton discusses a compelling study of Hagar–the enslaved Egyptian woman who becomes the only person in the Old Testament to name God–by discussing her article "'You Are the God Who Sees Me': God's Loving-Kindness to Hagar." Professor Easton guides listeners into the heart of Hagar's story, showing how her experiences of trauma, exploitation, and exile reveal a God who is intimately aware of those on the margins. She highlights Hagar's transformative encounters in the wilderness, where God sees her, hears her, makes promises directly to her, and ultimately liberates her and her son. Through these moments, we come to understand a God who works both within hardship and beyond it. Further, Professor Easton explains how Hagar's story affirms a universal truth that God sees all His children and invites us to see and care for one another with that same loving‑kindness.

The series will include discussion of MGM musicals in Hollywood, melodrama films, novels, standup comedy, improvised jazz performances and much more.Learning Links related to this stream: • Romanticism - Isaiah Berlin (1965) https://isaiah-berlin.wolfson.ox.ac.u...#History #literature #movies #love #Hollywood #comedy #tragedy #freedom #liberty #classical #modern #postmodern #religion #spirituality #wordsworth #coleridge #keats #brightstar #lyricalballads #verse #isaiahberlin #russia #germany #France #uk #greatbritain #england #jazz #rock #africanamerican #existentialism #standupcomedy #tradition #thirtyyearswar #communism #fascism #ecology #environmentalism #intellectualhistory #culturalstudies #authenticity #sincerity #annaakhmatova #poetry #brontesisters #lordbyron #painting #caspardavidfriedrich #eletricguitar #powerballad #romance #feminism #democracy #liberalism #immanuelkant #rousseau #diderot #socialcontract #civility #manners #civillization #anarchism
When a father's greatest nightmare strikes his family not once but twice, can Heaven still find a way to spark hope?Idaho rancher, husband, and devoted father Eldon Buchanan returns to Latter-day Lights to share the sacred tender mercies that steadied him after losing his son to suicide: Feeling the invisible strength of his son hoisting boulders for his memorial, a climb up Mount Borah where the Northern Lights felt like an embrace from Heaven, and a New Year's graveside visit where impossibly perfect snowflakes drifted down on him, as though signed by his boys' own hands.In this raw retelling, Eldon shows how the Savior's love reaches through depression's deepest shadows with quiet, unmistakable reminders: You are seen, and no child slips from His grasp.If you—or someone you love—are wrestling with grief or suicidal despair, Eldon's witness offers heartfelt advice and uplifting reasons to keep going: Even shattered hearts can experience miracles, and sorrow can be transformed into an unshakable testimony—that Christ never leaves His wounded ones alone.*** Please SHARE Eldon's story and help us spread hope and light to others. ***To WATCH this episode, visit: https://youtu.be/9IqH01jFAZc-----To WATCH Eldon's first episode on Latter-Day Lights, visit: https://youtu.be/3phtG9B-2GkTo WATCH Eldon's second episode on Latter-Day Lights, visit: https://youtu.be/aSJ6p0aDI00-----Keep updated with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/latter.day.lights/Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/latterdaylightsAlso, if you have a faith-promoting or inspiring story, or know someone who does, please let us know by going to https://www.latterdaylights.com and reaching out to us.
