Welcome to Autumn-ish Book Club! In this flash analysis series, we take an academic approach to some of the most talked-about books in Romantasy and fantasy today. With over 13 years of combined academic literary training, we bring a critical lens to fandom favorites while keeping the discussion fun, thought-provoking, and accessible. In this episode, we're discussing The Jasad Heir by Sara Hashem. We explore how Hashem intertwines Egyptian-inspired mythology with epic fantasy politics to tell a story of rebellion, identity, and survival. Through Sylvia's journey as the last heir of a fallen kingdom forced into hiding, we analyze themes of legacy, vengeance, and the tension between duty and desire. We also unpack how Hashem uses slow-burn romance, political intrigue, and moral ambiguity to craft a richly layered debut that challenges traditional hero narratives within the Romantasy genre. This episode is perfect for listeners looking for a Jasad Heir book discussion or in-depth Sara Hashem analysis, as we explore how her world-building, magic system, and character dynamics position her among the next generation of standout Romantasy authors. Whether you're drawn to stories of secret royalty, forbidden love, or morally gray magic, this conversation dives deep into what makes The Jasad Heir a must-read for fantasy fans and BookTok readers alike. This season, we'll be covering:The Hunger Games by Suzanne CollinsA Cruel Thirst by Angela MontoyaWhen the Moon Hatched by Sarah A. ParkerWhere the Shadows Meet by Patrice CaldwellBlood of Hercules by Jasmin MasBlood Over Bright Haven by M.L. WangRed Queen by Victoria AveyardThe Jasad Heir by Sara Hashem And when book club wraps up, get ready—our next full literary analysis will dive into Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas.

In this episode of Hoes Throughout History, we dive deep into the unhinged, unstoppable, and undeniably iconic life of Empress Wu Zetian — the first and only female emperor of China. From concubine to supreme ruler of the Tang dynasty, Wu played the political game like a damn chess master while rewriting what it meant to be a woman in power...and the brutal rumors spread by salty men who couldn't handle her crown. Was she ruthless? Sure. Revolutionary? Absolutely.

This week, we invited our listeners to weigh in on one of the most polarizing moments in Throne of Glass: Rowan punching Aelin. The reactions were intense — some fans defended it as “in-character” or “a product of the world,” while others, like us, questioned what it means when violence against women is treated as acceptable within fantasy storytelling. Through an academic lens, we unpack how Sarah J. Maas uses this moment to explore trauma, trust, and transformation — and whether the narrative truly holds Rowan accountable. Is this scene a reflection of a brutal world, or does it risk normalizing harm in the name of character development? Join us as we discuss moral complexity, fan discourse, and how love interests in Romantasy are often written to test the line between power and partnership. We love to dive into a Throne of Glass analysis centered on one of the series' most divisive moments — the Rowan Whitethorn debate. Through an in-depth Aelin Galathynius character study, we explore how Sarah J. Maas uses their relationship to navigate themes of trust, trauma, and power. This Romantasy podcast episode doesn't shy away from tough questions about fantasy relationship dynamics and how violence in fantasy books can both reflect and challenge real-world ideas of love and accountability. Join us as we unpack the latest BookTok discourse around these characters and continue the larger Sarah J. Maas discussion shaping the fandom today The Subtext Society Journal: https://thesubtextsocietyjournal.substack.com/ We're thrilled to announce our newest venture: The Subtext Society Journal—the first of its kind, dedicated to Romance, Romantasy, and fandom with an academic yet accessible voice.

In this message from The Ministry of God's Promise series, we turn to 1 Samuel 8, where Israel makes a fateful request: “Give us a king.” What seems like a practical solution is actually a spiritual rejection of God's leadership. Through Samuel's story, we discover how easily people trade divine guidance for human control—and how God, in His mercy, still works through our wrong choices to reveal our deeper need for Him. This lesson takes us on a sweeping journey through Israel's history—from the Judges to the Kings, the Prophets, and ultimately to Jesus Christ, the true and eternal King. We explore how every era in the Bible follows the same pattern: faith, decline, judgment, and renewal. The message is clear—human systems can't save us; only God can. Who is really on the throne of your life—self or Christ? Are we trusting God's perfect will, or settling for our own plans? Drawing from Jesus' words in Matthew 6:33, we're reminded that when we seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, God promises to take care of everything else. This is more than a history lesson—it's a call to trust God over culture, fear, and self-reliance. Whether you're new to the Bible or have studied it for years, this teaching offers both practical and spiritual depth on what it means to live under the loving reign of Christ.

Welcome to Autumn-ish Book Club! In this flash analysis series, we take an academic approach to some of the most talked-about books in Romantasy and fantasy today. With over 13 years of combined academic literary training, we bring a critical lens to fandom favorites while keeping the discussion fun, thought-provoking, and accessible. In this episode, we're discussing Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. We explore how Aveyard blends dystopian and fantasy elements to craft a world divided by blood—where the powerful Silvers rule over the oppressed Reds. Through Mare Barrow's transformation from street thief to symbol of rebellion, we analyze themes of power, privilege, and identity, and how Aveyard uses her heroine's voice to interrogate systems of inequality and control. We also dive into the novel's exploration of class revolution, propaganda, and betrayal, and examine how Red Queen established itself as one of the most influential YA fantasy series of the 2010s. This episode is perfect for fans searching for a Victoria Aveyard Red Queen analysis or a deep-dive book discussion on one of the most iconic YA fantasy and dystopian romantasy series of the last decade. We explore Mare Barrow's character arc, the story's themes of class rebellion and power, and how Aveyard's world continues to inspire conversations across BookTok and fantasy podcast communities. This season, we'll be covering: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins A Cruel Thirst by Angela Montoya When the Moon Hatched by Sarah A.

When we come to God in prayer, our confidence is not found in ourselves, our ability to pray good prayers, or even the amount of our faith. Our confidence rests solely in God. We are confident in His love, His character, and his power. We are confident in His promises and that He always fulfills His Word.Main Points:1. It's possible to bring a lack of confidence into our prayer lives. We pray without certainty and assurance. We pray lackluster prayers, not really sure that God hears us or that He will answer.2. I want you to see that our Heavenly Father wants us to come to him with confidence. God wants us to believe in Him, to trust Him, to recognize that He is a good Father who cares about His children. He wants us to feel confident that we can bring any need, whether small or big, to God.3. When you think about those in your life that you have confidence in, the reason you have such assurance in them is because of your relationship with them. You know them. You know their life and their character. Over time, they have proven they are reliable and trustworthy.Today's Scripture Verses:Hebrews 4:16 - “Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”1 John 5:13-15 – “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.”Psalm 34:15 - “The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

Kap Chatfield and Luke Reelfs go deep on what the “Daniel Anointing” really costs. Kap unpacks the Be•Do•Have framework, the 5 B's of influence (Be Fit, Be Sharp, Be Engaged, Be Competent, Be Holy), and why excellence opens doors to kings like it did for Daniel and Joseph. He shares timely prophetic confirmations, the identity shift from “cowboy” to “kingship,” and how a national moment of grief ignited a fresh calling. You'll learn the price of promotion vs. the danger of ruling prematurely, the three wilderness temptations (satisfy the flesh, abort the mission, shortcut authority), and the three keys to victory: revelation of identity, rhythms that kill the flesh, and rightly declaring the Word.

Welcome to Autumn-ish Book Club! In this flash analysis series, we take an academic approach to some of the most talked-about books in Romantasy and fantasy today. With over 13 years of combined academic literary training, we bring a critical lens to fandom favorites while keeping the discussion fun, thought-provoking, and accessible. In this episode, we're discussing Blood Over Bright Haven by M.L. Wang. We explore how Wang deconstructs the idea of power and morality in dark academia fantasy, using her world of magic, empire, and forbidden knowledge to question who deserves to wield control, and at what cost. We analyze how the novel's complex relationship between science and sorcery blurs the line between progress and corruption, and how Wang's morally gray characters challenge traditional Romantasy archetypes. We also unpack the book's themes of institutional rot, ambition, and rebellion, and why Blood Over Bright Haven has become one of the most talked-about fantasy novels of the year. This season, we'll be covering: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins A Cruel Thirst by Angela Montoya When the Moon Hatched by Sarah A. Parker Where the Shadows Meet by Patrice Caldwell Blood of Hercules by Jasmin Mas Blood Over Bright Haven by M.L. Wang Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard The Jasad Heir by Sara Hashem And when book club wraps up, get ready! Our next full literary analysis will dive into Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas. If you're new here, we also have full seasons analyzing A Court of Thorns and Roses, A Court of Mist and Fury, A Court of Wings and Ruin, A Court of Frost and Starlight, House of Earth and Blood, House of Sky and Breath, Throne of Glass, and Crown of Midnight. Go back and check those out to see how we break down metaphors, symbolism, narrative structure, and character arcs through multiple literary lenses. Plus, we're thrilled to announce our newest venture: The Subtext Society Journal—the first of its kind, dedicated to Romance, Romantasy, and fandom with an academic yet accessible voice. We're publishing original essays and thought pieces, and we encourage listeners to submit their own articles for a chance to be featured. If you love Sarah J. Maas, M.L.

Revelation 4–5 transitions from Christ's letters to the churches into a vivid, symbolic vision of the heavenly throne room. This message explores the imagery of God's sovereignty, the identity of the 24 elders, the meaning behind the seven spirits, and the Lamb's worthiness to open the scroll.
What if distraction has quietly taken the throne of your heart?In Modern-Day Idols: Week 3, Pastor Clint uncovers how phones, social media, and endless scrolling reshape our priorities and train our attention away from God. This teaching exposes how the “attention economy” has turned focus into profit—and how followers of Jesus can take it back.

In this special episode, we handed the mic to our listeners with one challenge: Defend or bash Chaol Westfall. From Throne of Glass loyalists who passionately defend him to readers who pull no punches in their critiques, we read through your funniest, sharpest, and most persuasive takes. Whether you believe Chaol deserves a redemption arc or you're firmly in the anti-Chaol camp, this episode explores why Sarah J. Maas's most polarizing character continues to ignite debate. Along the way, we dig into themes of loyalty, love, trauma, and growth in the Throne of Glass series, and what our divided feelings about Chaol reveal about the fandom itself.

Welcome to Autumn-ish Book Club! In this flash analysis series, we take an academic approach to some of the most talked-about books in Romantasy and fantasy today. With over 13 years of combined academic literary training, we bring a critical lens to fandom favorites while keeping the discussion fun, thought-provoking, and accessible. In this episode, we're discussing Blood of Hercules by Jasmin Mas. We explore how Mas blends Greek mythology with Romantasy storytelling, the way her heroine's journey reframes themes of legacy, sacrifice, and divine power, and how the novel's exploration of fate versus free will shapes both character arcs and narrative tension. We also dive into how Mas's reimagining of Hercules' myth offers fresh commentary on gender, strength, and what it truly means to be a mythical hero in a modern fantasy. This season, we'll be covering: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins A Cruel Thirst by Angela Montoya When the Moon Hatched by Sarah A. Parker Where the Shadows Meet by Patrice Caldwell Blood of Hercules by Jasmin Mas Blood Over Bright Haven by M.L. Wang Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard The Jasad Heir by Sara Hashem And when book club wraps up, get ready! Our next full literary analysis will dive into Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas. If you're new here, we also have full seasons analyzing A Court of Thorns and Roses, A Court of Mist and Fury, A Court of Wings and Ruin, A Court of Frost and Starlight, House of Earth and Blood, House of Sky and Breath, Throne of Glass, and Crown of Midnight. Go back and check those out to see how we break down metaphors, symbolism, narrative structure, and character arcs through multiple literary lenses. Plus, we're thrilled to announce our newest venture: The Subtext Society Journal—the first of its kind, dedicated to Romance, Romantasy, and fandom with an academic yet accessible voice. We're publishing original essays and thought pieces, and we encourage listeners to submit their own articles for a chance to be featured. If you love Sarah J. Maas, Romantasy, and deep literary analysis, you're in the right place. Share your thoughts for a chance to be featured!

Today on the podcast is Ty Cirino.Ty is the #2 returner in Oregon 5A cross country, out of Central High School in Independence, Oregon. With the graduation of Tayvon Kitchen and Josiah Tostenson this past spring, the door is open in Oregon high school XCTy Cirino is a possible heir to the throne.As a junior, Ty won the The Mook XC Invite at Alderbrook in a new course record of 14:43 (which was just recently broken by Kellen Williams in 14:28). Ty also finished 2nd at the Rose City Invitational in 14:35. After finishing 4th at Oregon 5A State Cross Country as a junior and placing 3rd in both the 1500 and 3K this past track season, many have been expecting Ty to rise to the occasion this cross-country season.But, it hasn't been without struggle. Despite a groundbreaking summer of training, Ty sustained a tiny flare-up that has temporarily sidelined him for a couple weeks to end his September. However, as we head into October, and as you will learn today, Ty believes that this setback could be his strength.Aside from a minor setback, Ty and I go in-depth on his thoughts on the competition in the northwest this cross-country season, as well as his thoughts on the change of the NXR location, why a state title would mean more than an NXN birth. We also discuss his preferences and insights tactical racing vs. front running and we run the gauntlet on the recruitment process.Ty definitely has a bright future. I think we all have to remember, that as you will here Ty say today, “championship season is all that matters”. People don't remember who sets a course record in September. But people do remember the clutch moments, whether that be winning a state title, winning NXR, or even winning a national title.It was a refreshing perspective to hear, and I hope you enjoy my conversation with Ty today.Please consider leaving a follow and a five-star review!I hope you enjoy this episode of The Sunday Shakeout!
