Genesis rolled out its G70 sedan onto the road all the way back in 2017, for the 2018 model year. While the G90 helped kick the Genesis brand off, the G70's launch was a big part of the brand's expansion down market. This smaller sedan fights with the likes of luxury heavyweights like the BMW 3-Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and more. This Genesis also shared a platform with Kia's Stinger, which went out of production after 2023. Genesis gave the G70 a substantial styling update in 2022 to bring it in line with the rest of the Genesis portfolio, but also added a more powerful 2.5-liter turbocharged I4 as the base powertrain, which replaces the outgoing 2.0-liter mill.  On this episode of Quick Spin, host Wesley Wren hops behind the wheel of the 2024 Genesis G70 and puts it through its paces. Wren guides you around the G70 highlights some of his favorite features, and explains what this Genesis sedan feels like in the real world. Later in the show, Wren takes you along for a live drive review. Joining these segments, Autoweek's Patrick Carone joins the show to discuss his experiences with the G70, the competitive set, and more. Closing the show, the pair break down what makes the G70 special.

Text us and say hello!In episode 16 of "Backwards Compatible," Lou and I tackle "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie - The Game" for the Sega Genesis. This Genesis version stands out as the superior iteration compared to its Game Gear and SNES counterparts, largely because of its enhanced co-op battles, more content directly tied to the movie, and a tighter storyline that aligns closely with the MMPR TV show.We dive deep into why this Genesis version excels, from its gameplay mechanics to the stellar soundtrack, which is a phenomenal Genesis rendition of the original score by Ron Wassermann—known for his iconic work on the "X-Men" animated series theme. The music perfectly captures the energy and excitement of the Power Rangers universe, adding an extra layer of nostalgia and adrenaline to every battle.Additionally, we revisit the 1995 "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" movie, discussing the standout characters like Ivan Ooze and expressing our bewilderment over why these characters haven't been more prominently featured in subsequent series and merchandise. We also recommend a few modern beat 'em ups and Power Rangers games that successfully recapture the spirit of classic Power Rangers action for those looking to relive the excitement or introduce it to a new generation.As always, we round out the episode with a look at pop culture milestones from August 1995, setting the scene for when the Power Rangers were at the height of their popularity. Join Lou and me as we morph back to a time when spandex and giant robots ruled the afternoon TV slots and the Sega Genesis was the console of choice for Power Rangers fans.Support the Show.We've got merch!Check out the site for some awesome Gen 'S' swag :)

My special guest is author Gary Wayne who's here to discuss his book about what he says are plans to enslave humanity. There are giants among us, passing largely unnoticed, intent on carrying out a secret plan to enslave all humanity. They may not look like giants today, but their bloodlines extend all the way back to the Nephilim-the offspring of angels who mated with human women-described in Genesis 6 when giants roamed the land. Gary Wayne, author of The Genesis 6 Conspiracy: How Secret Societies and the Descendants of Giants Plan to Enslave Humankind, details the role of modern-day Nephilim in Satan's plan to install the Antichrist at the End of Days. When God cast the angel Lucifer and his followers out of heaven, Lucifer set into motion a scheme to ensure the Nephilim survived. Why? Because from the bloodlines of these Nephilim the Antichrist will come. To keep his plan alive, Satan has enlisted the loyalty of secret societies such as the Freemasons, the Templars, and the Rosicrucians to conspire in teaching a theology and a history of the world that is contrary to the biblical one. This Genesis 6 Conspiracy marches toward the Great Tribulation, when the loyalty of the Terminal Generation-this generation-will be tested. The Bible, along with many other ancient sources, clearly records the existence of giants. Wayne provides copious citations from many society insiders, along with extensive Bible references, other religious references, and historical material to bolster his contention. What he uncovers will astonish you-and it will challenge you to prepare for the fulfilling of God's promises. Get his book - The Genesis 6 Conspiracy Want more paranormal episodes?

Many of you are probably familiar with the term Theme and Variations.  This term describes a very common form of musical composition.  When used, this compositional technique first presents a simple theme or idea and, after it is initially stated, repeats that theme but alters it and embellishes it.  There can be multiple variations presented, based on this simple theme, but each variation can always be traced back to the original presentation. Today’s Old Testament reading from Genesis as well as the Gospel reading from Matthew present a form of theme and variations.  You see, there are not really three temptations in our Gospel story.   There are three variations of the same basic theme.  As from the beginning, the devil always tempts his victims to reach for, access, and attain power. As we look at our reading from Genesis, I want to first make clear that this ancient story was written to help explain why, in God’s creation, there came to be sin and death.  It is not a story to be interpreted as literal.  The truth of this story goes much, much deeper.  This ancient tale helps to communicate something about human nature, something about our alienation from God.  It serves to narrate aspects of human brokenness and it helps us understand more about the way we disobey God by eating false foods of all kinds.  And, it describes how we invite others to join us in our disobedience.  So, from the beginning, we see evil, in the form of a serpent, tempting victims to go for power, saying, “You will be like God.”  For the tempter, there seems to be no surer path to internal contradiction and self-destruction.  You see, this story is our story because human beings repeatedly succumb to such temptation.  All we need do is look around us at what is happening in our country and the world, and we see not only the result of people eating false foods (foods being a metaphor for all kinds of things), but we also see the result of human beings wanting to be like God.  It is all about the desire for power.  This Genesis story provides a foil to our Gospel reading today because it not only represents us, it represents the opposite of what happens when Jesus encounters temptation. In our gospel reading, Jesus is tempted to misuse power.  As we look at our reading from Matthew where the first temptation, or first variation of this theme, is presented, the devil goes right for the jugular.  The tempter addresses Jesus’ very identity saying, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become a loaf of bread.”  This first variation is a temptation for Jesus to use power to show the miraculous.  Having just heard for the first time, at his baptism, that he is God’s Son, the tempter then calls that holy moment into question saying, “If you are the Son of God.”  Lutheran Minister Nadia Bolz-Weber reminds us that God’s first move is always to name us and claim us as God’s own.  But soon other people try to tell us who we are and to whom we belong.  Nadia writes, “Capitalism, the weight-loss industrial complex, our parents, kids at school—they all have a go at telling us who we are.  But only God can do that.  Everything else is temptation.” Jesus responded in this moment of vulnerability by quoting scripture saying, “One does not live by bread alone.”  In this first confrontation, the deceiver attempts to mislead Jesus into using his God given power for himself rather than trusting the Father to satisfy his need.  Jesus refused.  He will not misuse his power for personal material gain. In the second variation on this theme, the tempter takes the quest for power to yet another level.  After leading Jesus to the holy city of Jerusalem and placing him on the pinnacle of the temple, the tempter again calls Jesus’ identity into question saying, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down.”  Then, misusing scripture and taking it out of context, the tempter says, “For it is written in scripture: ‘He will command his angels concerning you, to protect you’ and ‘on their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.’”  Jesus is tempted to use his power to save himself from danger.  This is a test of heroism and what kind of Messiah Jesus will be.  Is he going to be the warrior king, the superhero who can leap from buildings in a single bound and be saved at the last instant because he is God’s Son?  Or is he going to be a Messiah folks never imagined possible, the Son of God who will suffer and die on a cross?  Jesus says, “Do not put the Lord your God to the test.”  Jesus will not and does not use his power to make himself safe and secure.   Well, the tempter has yet one more power play to make, yet another variation on the same theme, and he raises the stakes even higher.  He attempts to seduce Jesus with domination and prestige.  Essentially, he offers Jesus all the power in the world.  He offers Jesus control over all the world’s kingdoms, along with their praise and glory, in exchange for Jesus’ allegiance to him, allegiance to evil itself.  He says, “All these kingdoms I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.”  But, Jesus is not led astray.  Jesus rejects the deceiver’s misdirection and Jesus quotes Scripture in its context, saying, “Worship the Lord your God, and serve only Him.”  Jesus will not misuse his power to amass clout and esteem.  Jesus will not turn from God to embrace the kinds of success we would recognize and applaud.  In fact, contrary to the way most human beings pounce on the opportunity to attain such power, Jesus remains exasperatingly himself, and he remains steadfastly faithful as God’s beloved Son. Human beings – individually, corporately and institutionally – all know the pull of the quest for power.  What could be more human?  And, we have seen throughout history as well as in today’s present context, the way in which the quest for power corrupts.  But, in Jesus, we find a very different kind of power.  In Jesus, we find one who not only speaks the power of love but also lives the power of love.  And, divine love is infinitely more powerful than all the powers of this world combined.  What is even more fascinating is that such love is the only power that assumes the utter vulnerability of the lover.  As St. Paul wrote, “whenever I am weak, then I am strong.” Theologian, Paul Tillich, wrote, “We long for a Christ of power.  Yet if He were to come and transform us and our world, we should have to pay the one price which we could not pay:  we would have to lose our freedom, our humanity, and our spiritual dignity.  Perhaps we should be happier, but we should also be lower human beings, our present misery, struggle and despair notwithstanding….Those who dream of a better life and try to avoid the Cross as a way, and those who hope for a Christ and attempt to exclude the Crucified have no knowledge of the mystery of God and humanity.”  (The Shaking of the Foundations, p.148) In today’s reading, the tempter finally leaves Jesus.  But, we soon find this tantalizing deceiver will again voice one more variation on his major theme.  The tempter will present yet one more power play as Jesus hangs on the cross, despised and rejected.  In that seemingly God forsaken place, we hear the taunts voiced by those who pass by, shaking their heads while saying, “If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”  And, in that place of horror, we find out just how powerful the force of divine love really is.  There we find the greatest love and grace the world has ever known, a power that will ultimately trump evil forever.  As we make this Lenten journey together, live into that divine love.

Over the past couple of weeks, I have had the privilege of spending some time with our grandson who is now nine months old.  He loves to play peek-a-boo.  He just loves to hide his face behind a blanket or object and then eagerly wait for us to ask, “Where’s William?”  When he hears those words, he is all smiles as he moves the blanket or whatever object it is he thinks he is hiding behind.  The ancient games of Peek-a-Boo and its close cousin Hide & Seek provide hours of glee-filled play for children as they hide behind objects, hide in bushes, under stairs, behind trees and in all kinds of places, just waiting to be found.  And, excitement always mounts as the whimsical pursuer or seeker happily stomps around searching for the hidden while calling out, “Where are you?”  Well, today as we hear this reading from Genesis, we hear the words, “Where are you?”  They are words that echo right down through the centuries and into our very lives.  This Genesis story we hear in our first reading is part of the second creation story we find in the first book of the Bible.  Yes, there are two very different creation stories in this first book of the Bible.  Today’s reading comes from what is known as the Yahwist narrative.  It is just one among many of the early story threads gathered from multiple traditions that became sewn together to compile the book we now call Genesis.  And, as with many familiar Bible stories that we assume we understand, we often read into this passage and extrapolate ideas that are not there.  You see, this whole slithering, deceptive snake portion of the story likely was originally told to explain the animosity that exists between humans and serpents.  Furthermore, as scholars have studied these writings, theologians now agree that the snake insertion into this story was also likely meant to provide an explanation for the Israelite rejection of the Canaanite goddess Asherah, who was imaged as a snake in a tree.  Asherah was the great Canaanite fertility goddess, so one can detect here a not too subtle polemic against Canaanite religion.  And, yet another aspect that we usually do not grasp is that this serpent who appears in the story is never even identified in scripture as Satan.  Anyway, as today’s story begins in verse eight, the serpent has already deceived Adam and Eve into disobeying God’s command, and these two human beings are now engaged in a hide and seek game of their own – a game in which the stakes are very high.  As they hunker down in the garden like children attempting to hide while fleeing the implications of their own actions, God seeks them out, fully aware that something has gone wrong.  God goes walking in the garden like the whimsical pursuer.  And, we get to listen as God calls out to them saying, “Where are you?”  Now, it is fascinating that this is the first question God asks in Scripture.  And, what makes this question so important is that, as in every great story, this question is asked not just of the characters on the page and in the scene, it is a question that is asked of us.  You see, the stories of the Bible are our stories!  The Bible itself is such a great story because it is not so much a story of what happened to our ancestors in faith, but of what happens to each one of us.   Notice that God does not accusingly ask, “Now just what have you done?”  No.  God simply and graciously asks, “Where are you?”  This question, a question God is always asking of us, exposes our futile attempt to hide from God.  And, at once, that question assumes an answer, an answer that reminds us we often are not where we should be.  In fact, it causes us to think about asking ourselves, “Where should we be?”  You see, the thrust of this story is simply all about the human predicament.  Something has gone wrong.  We are not where we should be.  As we live our lives, we sense that there is an estrangement from our essential, created selves that is rooted in our alienation from our Maker and gets expressed in behaviors that alienate us from one another.  That is what sin is, turning away from God, alienation from God, from one another and from our very selves.  This story in Genesis is a story not so much of what happened to our first ancestors but of what happens to each one of us.  Our loss of innocence as we grow up and become more aware of the world around us, our alienation from our fellow humans and the animal world, our yearning for independence, and our fear of and alienation from God are all addressed in this creation story.  This story helps us understand the way in which sin alienates us from God and from one another because the hard truth is that we are sinners.  That does not mean we are rotten to the core.  Sin is the human predicament.  And, even though we try to hide while fleeing the implications of our predicament, God knows where we are.  The truth is that we cannot hide from God.  God knows us through and through and if grace meets us anywhere, it meets us in our sin.  Notice in this story from Genesis we miss the fact that grace permeates the story.   All of a sudden, these two earth creatures are worried about not having clothes and God says, “Well, let me take care of that; I’ll give you clothes, even though I made you to be naked.”  That action of God in this story is a clear statement of grace.  Yes, it is in the places of deepest struggle, pain and alienation where grace meets us and where we discover the Good News that God loves us no matter what and that God works through our weakness.  We do not have to hide from God for any reason.  When grace meets us, we learn that God considers us to be a treasure, just as we are, and God works in our lives, even in our brokenness.  That is the good news of Jesus Christ.  The Apostle Paul understood this quite well.  He had experienced this grace and God’s power in his own life.  Grace met him in the place of deepest sin and transformed his life.  Paul understood that the destructiveness of human sin is resolved finally and only by acknowledging our human limitations and our total dependence upon the love and grace of God.  In his second letter to the Christians who lived in Corinth, Paul says to his fellow disciples, “What we believe is that the One who raised up the Master Jesus will just as certainly raise us up with you, alive.  Every detail works to your advantage and to God’s glory:  more and more grace, more and more people, more and more praise!  So, we’re not giving up.  How could we!  Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace.”  (The Message; 2 Corinthians 4:14-16) The Good News is that ours is a God who, no matter where we wander or try and hide, already sees us and lovingly pursues us.  And, God will take every detail in our life and work through it, using it to our advantage.  We do not have to hide because of who we are or what we have done.  God loves us, and God has already found us. So, while like my grandson, we may think we are hiding, our gracious God already knows where we are while lovingly calling out to us asking, “Where are you?”  And, this God of grace upon grace, this God of grace and more grace, is always inviting us back to God’s very self.  May we eagerly listen to God’s call and joyfully respond because, the truth is, in Jesus we have already been found by this God of grace.

This is a special episode with Gary Wayne here is a bit about his book and thoughts & what we will be discussing on the show so please join us! The Genesis 6 Conspiracy by Gary Wayne There are giants among us, passing largely unnoticed, intent on carrying out a secret plan to enslave all humanity. They may not look like giants today, but their bloodlines extend all the way back to the Nephilim—the offspring of angels who mated with human women—described in Genesis 6 when giants roamed the land. Gary Wayne, author of The Genesis 6 Conspiracy: How Secret Societies and the Descendants of Giants Plan to Enslave Humankind, details the role of modern-day Nephilim in Satan's plan to install the Antichrist at the End of Days. When God cast the angel Lucifer and his followers out of heaven, Lucifer set into motion a scheme to ensure the Nephilim survived. Why? Because from the bloodlines of these Nephilim the Antichrist will come. To keep his plan alive, Satan has enlisted the loyalty of secret societies such as the Freemasons, the Templars, and the Rosicrucians to conspire in teaching a theology and a history of the world that is contrary to the biblical one. This Genesis 6 Conspiracy marches toward the Great Tribulation, when the loyalty of the Terminal Generation—this generation—will be tested. The Bible, along with many other ancient sources, clearly records the existence of giants. Wayne provides copious citations from many society insiders, along with extensive Bible references, other religious references, and historical material to bolster his contention. What he uncovers will astonish you—and it will challenge you to prepare for the fulflling of God's promises. Please contact Deep River Books at media@deepriverbooks.com for more information.

March 1, 2015 - In biblical times, sacrificial offerings for religious purposes were common; thus God's test of Abraham was not outlandish. This Genesis story is a metaphor for God the Father offering his Son to redeem the world, through Christ's death. Grace Chiarella also shared her experience as a mentor. Preacher: Fr.
