Wie leicht lassen wir uns manipulieren, ohne es überhaupt zu bemerken? Und was kann Hypnose tatsächlich mit unserem Kopf machen? Nachdem Jenke selbst in Timon Krauses ProSieben-Show „Ich durchschaue jeden!“ zu Gast war, treffen Jenke und Jánik den Mentalisten diesmal zum ausführlichen Gespräch. Gemeinsam sprechen sie darüber, was Menschen unbewusst über sich verraten, wie Timon Gedanken und Entscheidungen seiner Mitmenschen liest, woran man Manipulation erkennt und ob man tatsächlich sehen kann, wenn jemand lügt. Außerdem geht es um die Macht unseres eigenen Kopfes: Wie entstehen irrationale Ängste? Kann Hypnose dabei helfen? Können Erinnerungen beeinflusst werden? Und wie können wir Menschenkenntnis und psychologische Tricks im Alltag selbst nutzen? Natürlich bleibt es nicht nur bei der Theorie. Timon stellt seine Fähigkeiten auch bei Jenke und Jánik unter Beweis. Weil das Gespräch so viele spannende Themen, Experimente und Erkenntnisse hervorgebracht hat, haben wir uns entschieden, daraus zwei Folgen zu machen. Teil 2 erscheint nächsten Sonntag (30.08.26) Eine Doppelfolge über Gedanken, Manipulation, Hypnose und die Frage, wie viel Kontrolle wir tatsächlich über unsere eigenen Entscheidungen haben. #TimonKrause #JenkeExtremeMomente #Jenke #Mentalist #Gedankenlesen #Psychologie #Manipulation #Hypnose #Menschenkenntnis #Mentalismus #MindHacks #Podcast #PodcastDeutschland

In the 306th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave have now watched another Disney D23 come and go, and our predictions have also succeeded and failed. Up first, Jenn getting set for her January trip, while Dave is sporting some new Star Wars Merch, and they chat about the Brightline update on a new station in Cocoa Beach. News brings another resort added to the airport transfers at Disney World... lights come up from Epcot... more trash can issues (poor MawMaw!). Then, a quick rundown of the movies and shows announced over the weekend. And then a full recap of the Parks & Experiences Panel, with world parks, Disney Cruise Line, Disneyland and Disney World.  We chat - and disagree - on why the show was over 2 hours... the Dreamfinder coming back, but in what capacity... Avengers Campus... Encanto ride... the odd Timon in the Tropical Americas carousel... gutting Spaceship Earth... Monstropolis updates, and why the land will likely partially open... and Villains Land and all the scary details.

Brad has entered high class society and Jake is planning a secret pickleball date for Isaac. Timon is nowhere to be found.

In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenistic Jews[a] among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. 2 So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, "It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables. 3 Brothers and sisters, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them 4 and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word." 5 This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit; also Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism. 6 They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them. 7 So the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith. Stephen Seized 8 Now Stephen, a man full of God's grace and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people. 9 Opposition arose, however, from members of the Synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called)—Jews of Cyrene and Alexandria as well as the provinces of Cilicia and Asia—who began to argue with Stephen. 10 But they could not stand up against the wisdom the Spirit gave him as he spoke.

Jan Kersjes gehört zu den markantesten Musicaldarstellern Deutschlands und begeistert derzeit als Doc Brown im Hamburger Erfolgsmusical „Zurück in die Zukunft“. Im Gespräch erzählt der Schauspieler von seinem außergewöhnlichen Lebensweg, seiner Karriere zwischen Schauspiel und Musical sowie von den Erfahrungen, die ihn privat und beruflich geprägt haben.Schon als Kind entdeckte Jan Kersjes seine Leidenschaft für Geschichten. Filme, Fernsehproduktionen und Theateraufzeichnungen wurden zum Ausgangspunkt seines Wunsches, selbst auf der Bühne zu stehen. Nach einer klassischen Schauspielausbildung spielte er zunächst an verschiedenen Stadttheatern und übernahm Rollen in bekannten Theaterstücken wie "Hamlet", "Woyzeck" oder "Die Räuber". Der Wechsel ins Musical erfolgte vergleichsweise spät, erwies sich jedoch als entscheidender Karriereschritt. Mit der Rolle des König George in "Hamilton" gelang ihm der Durchbruch im Musicalbereich. Es folgten Engagements als Olaf in "Die Eiskönigin", Timon in "Der König der Löwen" und schließlich Doc Brown in "Zurück in die Zukunft".Besonders reizvoll findet Kersjes exzentrische Charakterrollen. Statt klassischer Heldenfiguren interessieren ihn Rollen mit Humor, Eigenheiten und viel Spielfreiheit. Gerade diese Figuren erlauben ihm, mit dem Publikum zu interagieren und jeder Vorstellung eine eigene Dynamik zu verleihen.Neben seiner Karriere spricht Jan Kersjes offen über persönliche Krisen. Depressionen, Ängste und mangelnde innere Stabilität begleiteten ihn über viele Jahre. Ein Wendepunkt war der Jakobsweg, auf dem er seine spätere Frau kennenlernte. Später führten ihn Meditation, buddhistische Lehren und mehrere Aufenthalte in Indien zu einer spirituellen Lebensweise, die bis heute seinen Alltag bestimmt. Diese Praxis hilft ihm nach eigener Aussage sowohl im Privatleben als auch unmittelbar vor seinen Auftritten.Auch sein Start in Hamburg verlief ungewöhnlich. Weil die Familie zunächst keine Wohnung fand, lebte sie mehrere Monate auf dem ElbeCamp in einer Jurte. Die einfache Lebensweise ohne gewohnten Komfort wurde rückblickend zu einer prägenden Erfahrung. Heute lebt die Familie in Groß Flottbek, während Kersjes meist mit dem Fahrrad zum Operettenhaus fährt.Im Gespräch schildert der gebürtige Niederrheiner außerdem seine enge Verbindung zu Hamburg, sowie seine Erinnerungen an die Kindheit in Kleve. Er erzählt von seiner Faszination für den Film "Zurück in die Zukunft", der ihn seit seiner Jugend begleitet und erklärt, warum ihn die Figur des Doc Brown besonders anspricht. Das Gespräch zeichnet das Porträt eines vielseitigen Künstlers, der Humor, Schauspiel, Musik und persönliche Entwicklung miteinander verbindet und dessen Erfolg auf weit mehr beruht als spektakulären Bühnenauftritten.Hier geht es zur Podcastempfehlung bei ARD Sounds: https://www.ardsounds.de/sendung/true-crime-hamburg-der-polizei-podcast/urn:ard:show:3c3311290ecbada3/

Het is dit jaar zeventig jaar geleden dat Marga Klompé de eerste vrouwelijke minister werd in ons land. Als overtuigd katholiek voerde ze een opvallend sociaal-progressief beleid. Je zou haar kunnen zien als boegbeeld voor de feministische stroming, al wilde ze daar zelf liever niet mee geassocieerd worden.  Deze zomer maakt De Rode Draad een vierdelige serie over haar leven en de vele andere ‘eersten' die na haar kwamen. De tweede aflevering gaat over het aandeel van Marga Klompé in de verzorgingsstaat. Zij stond aan de wieg van de Algemene Bijstandswet in 1965. Te gast is historicus Timon de Groot van het Internationaal Instituut voor Sociale Geschiedenis Lees meer over deze serie bij De Rode Draad (https://www.nporadio1.nl/nieuws/geschiedenis/5597699f-3ffb-47ef-b456-fabf5383da08/marga-klompe-van-de-eerste-vrouwelijke-minister-tot-de-politici-die-haar-opvolgden)

Episode 226: Last time I took you through Macbeth, still one of Shakespeare's most performed plays, but now we come to one that is rarely seen and vies with ‘King John', ‘Two Noble Kinsman' and ‘Timon of Athens' as the least performed Shakespeare play. ‘Pericles' is also a play that did not appear in the first folio and in fact did not make it into a folio edition until 1664 with the second printing of the third folio. More of that history in a moment, but it certainly raises interesting questions about why Hemmings and Condell did not include it in the first folio.

June 28, 2026 - Sunday AM Bible Class This episode is a sermon-style study through Acts chapters 6–8, centering on Acts 6:1–7 and tracing a recurring pattern in the early church: success invites new problems, and God's people must respond biblically. Neal walks the congregation through the first of four challenges in these chapters, examines subsequent disputes that arise as the gospel moves outward, and previews Stephen's pivotal defense in Acts 7. Topics covered include the practical complaint of the Hellenist widows being neglected, the apostles' wise response of discernment and delegation, and the appointment of seven servants—Stephen, Philip, Procurus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicholas (a proselyte of Antioch)—who are prayed for and commissioned. The sermon highlights the apostles' priority to devote themselves to prayer and the ministry of the Word, the laying on of hands as dedication (and possibly the impartation of gifting in the first-century context), and the resulting fruit: continued numerical growth and many priests turning to faith. The episode then follows the ripple effects of that growth: Stephen's ministry among the Greek-speaking Jews, the disputes and false witnesses stirred up against him, and the challenge of addressing angry, unreceptive listeners. The speaker traces Stephen's strategy in Acts 7—seeking connection, emphasizing God and his work, appealing to Israel's history, and finally confronting stubbornness and sin—and explains the pattern of God raising deliverers, people rejecting them, and God vindicating them. Practical applications are drawn for today's churches and leaders: how to handle internal complaints biblically, the value of delegation and qualified servants (parallels to deacons), the importance of elders/eldership staying focused on prayer and the Word, and principles for speaking truth to difficult or angry listeners (Matthew 18, Galatians 6, Ephesians 4). The episode underscores that faithful, God-centered responses to problems lead to unity, confidence in leadership, and further growth. Format and guests: this episode is a single-message sermon delivered by the congregation's teacher (no outside guests). Key takeaways include the governance model shown in Acts 6, the spiritual qualifications and heart behind servant ministry, the pastoral tactics Stephen uses when facing opposition, and the encouraging outcome that faithful obedience deepens the church's witness and produces growth.   Duration 43:58

Join us as we dig deeper into last Sunday's sermon from Pastor Gabe Kasper "The Gospel Increases" and hear from Amy Duncan and Nate Zuellig on "Bigger Table".   Digging Deeper Questions: When conflict arises how do you deal with it? Did you learn anything from this text on how to handle it better?    The early church was culturally diverse but united in mission, how might we better embody that in our congregation? our lives?    What is the aim of your life? Is it bringing peace?    Scripture Reading: Acts 6:1-15 1 Now in these days when the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint by the Hellenists arose against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution. 2 And the twelve summoned the full number of the disciples and said, "It is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables. 3 Therefore, brothers, pick out from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint to this duty. 4 But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word." 5 And what they said pleased the whole gathering, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch. 6 These they set before the apostles, and they prayed and laid their hands on them.   7 And the word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests became obedient to the faith.   8 And Stephen, full of grace and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people. 9 Then some of those who belonged to the synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called), and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia and Asia, rose up and disputed with Stephen. 10 But they could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking. 11 Then they secretly instigated men who said, "We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God." 12 And they stirred up the people and the elders and the scribes, and they came upon him and seized him and brought him before the council, 13 and they set up false witnesses who said, "This man never ceases to speak words against this holy place and the law, 14 for we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and will change the customs that Moses delivered to us." 15 And gazing at him, all who sat in the council saw that his face was like the face of an angel.

The Face of an Angel Acts 6 by William Klock I hate doing administration stuff.  I'm really glad that John handles our finances so well and makes sure all our bills get paid.  I don't like filling out annual parish reports and get annoyed when I have fill out one for ACNA and another for the REC.  Why can't they just ask the same questions and share the information?  Our church register is stuffed with Post-It notes going back five or six years so I know what to enter in it whenever I eventually get around to sitting down to make all the entries for baptisms, deaths, weddings, membership, and all of that.  And I wonder if Peter had his own First Century Post-It note system for dealing with the dreaded admin work that was perpetually threatening to cut in on his preaching and praying.  Because that's what we come to in Acts 6.  The church has been growing quickly.  There's something like 5,000 Christians in Jerusalem.  We don't know how they were organised.  We know that the apostles and presumable some others regularly spent time in the temple.  But they met together in their homes.  Were they divided into what we might think of as “churches” or “parishes” with an apostle or two overseeing each—or maybe each apostle overseeing two or three groups?  We don't know.  But what we do know is that the twelve apostles were overseeing everything.  They were preaching, they were teaching, they were praying, they were pastoring, they were making sure everyone's needs were met.  And it got to be too much, even for twelve of them.  I get that.  I have a friend who pastors a Baptist church of about 950.  They figured out thirty years ago that they need one elder to every hundred people or so in order to pastor well.  In Acts we're talking at least 500 church members per apostle.  People started falling through the cracks and complaining.  Look at Acts 6.  [Page 1086 in the pew Bibles.] “Now, in those days when the disciples were increasing in number, the ‘Hellenists' raised a dispute with the ‘Hebrews' because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food.” As we've seen in Chapters 2 and 4, these first Christians were very aware that they belonged to a new family and they lived accordingly.  They were the beginnings of Gods new Israel.  The Spirit had filled them with love for each other—the kind of love that torah had always envisioned for the people of Israel—and so they began to live it out.  They fellowshipped with each other.  They shared meals together as Jesus' family and they shared with their brothers and sisters who were in need.  They weren't just overflowing with the love and mercy of Jesus; despite most of them having little, as a people they were overflowing with generosity and abundance. And there were plenty who were truly in need.  Widows would normally be looked after by their own family, but when people joined the church—just as in some parts of the world today—it meant being cut off from their families and the support they once had.  The church suddenly found itself providing for a large number of widows.  Maybe it was a language barrier or maybe it has something to do with social connections, but the Hellenists—the Greek-speaking widows—the ones who had come to Jerusalem from the great Jewish diaspora—they were falling through the cracks.  It surely wasn't deliberate.  It was growing pains.  The sheer scope of the church's charity work had become too much for the twelve to handle efficiently.  So the Greek-speaking members of the church take up their cause with the apostles.  The fact that their fellow “Hellenist' believers take up their cause with the apostles, suggests it was a language problem.  Maybe these widows didn't know how or when to ask for food or where to get it and there were simply so church members, that the apostles were no longer able to know the personal needs of everyone.  Whatever the case, the apostles realise they have to do something.  Luke goes on: “So the twelve called the full number of disciples together.  ‘Listen,' they said, ‘It wouldn't be right for us to leave the word of God to serve tables. So Brothers, choose seven men from amongst yourselves who are well spoken of and filled with the Spirit and wisdom.  We will put them in charge of what needs to be done in this matter.  We will continue to pay attention to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” The apostles knew what their primary calling was.  It was to study and to teach and to preach the word and to pray.  Sure, they could do some other things.  But when those other things became so big that it meant taking significant time away from their ministry of the word and their time in prayer, well, it was time for the church as a whole to pick up the slack.  To sort of quote Paul: God gave some to be apostles and other to—well—to fill the other multitude of roles that need filling in the church.  Some are eyes and ears and mouths, others are hands and feet and finger and toes.  The body needs them all.  And this was common sense.  But it also—and I think Luke deliberately frames it this way—it had precedent in Israel's own story.  Think of Israel in the beginning, in the wilderness, just delivered from Egypt, and Moses trying to rule over a thousand and thousands of people and feeling totally overwhelmed.  Luke wants us to see the fledgling church as the new Israel and so he shows us the apostles in the position of Moses.  It's time to choose some well-respected men from amongst the people to help.  Verse 5: “The whole gathering was pleased with what they said.  They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus (a proselyte from Antioch).  They presented them before the apostles, and having prayed, they laid their hands on them.” It's worth noting: the seven names are Greek names.  One of these men was even a proselyte, meaning he was a gentile who had converted to Judaism and was now a Christian.  Presumably the seven were meant to serve the whole church, but the church chose seven men who were especially able to help with the problem at hand: the Greek-speaking widows.  So the church elects these men, brings them before the apostles for their approval, prays for them, and then it's the church that lays hands on them.  Now, almost every English translation says that it was the apostles that laid hands on these seven, but the Greek text doesn't really bear that out.  It says they, the church, elected the men and brought them to the apostles and there's absolutely nothing in the text that indicates a change of subject before Luke says that “they” laid hands on the men.  The church—probably a representative few—laid hands on the seven, not the apostles. And when we look at what was involved, it suggests even more that it was the church doing the laying on of hands.  There are several words in Hebrew that, in English, all get sort of generically translated as “to lay hands”, but the Hebrew behind the idea here, has the sense of pressing down on something—as if you're sharing or transferring something of yourself to another: your sins to a the scape goat, or the people of Irael “pressing down on” the Levites who will represent them and fill in for their firstborn sons, or Moses pressing his hands down on Joshua and making him his representative and successor.  Remember, the whole point of this is that the apostles knew “serving tables” wasn't their job.  Their job was word and prayer.  It was the job of the wider church to look after the welfare of each other and so it's appropriate that the church not only elects these seven men, but also “ordains” them, if you will. And what were the seven?  Traditionally we've called them deacons.  Deacon comes from the Greek word to serve—in this case to serve (διακονεῖν) tables, which is symbolic of making sure the widows get their charity.  But otherwise, what we see these men doing doesn't look all that much like what we see deacons doing later in the New Testament.  In fact, when the apostles talk about “serving tables”, there's a probably a word play there—“tables” is a banking or accounting term, not just a word for a literal table—that suggests that what these men were really doing was overseeing, administering the distribution of food and, more broadly, the resources of the church.  And if that was the case, they look a lot more like bishops.  I could be wrong, but what I would tentatively suggest, is that these seven men were the first men to be appointed to pastoral office in the church, before that role had split into bishops on the one hand and deacons on the other.  I think these guys were, more or less, both proto-deacons and proto-bishops.  And while their primary duty was to oversee the church's charity, the church chose them because they were full of the Spirit.  And in Acts, what that means is that they were bold and unafraid proclaimers of the good news about Jesus. So, writes Luke in verse 7, because of the apostles could now be devoted to the word to prayer and because these seven men were now ordained to ensure the church was being what the church is supposed to be, “The word of God increased and the number of disciples in Jerusalem multiplied greatly.  This included a large crowd of priests who became obedient to the faith.”  Brothers and Sisters, when the church—the people and the leaders—are boldly proclaiming the word of God and are diligent in prayer, God will multiply it.  We might miss it, but Luke makes the point: It's not us.  We don't grow the church.  It's God.  The power lies with him.  We need to trust his word and we need to proclaim it.  We need to pray and entrust our ministry to him.  Not gimmicks, not money, not all the other things churches often do to try to make themselves effective.  Just preach God's word and pray.  He'll bring fruit from it.  And be patient, because God works on his own schedule, not ours.  And, we might miss it: Luke makes a point of telling us a significant new step in the church's growth: now it's attracted a crowd of priests.  And that would not have gone unnoticed by the leaders of the temple.  Luke doesn't say anything here, but this means the Jewish leaders are getting more concerned, getting more angry, becoming more inclined to violent action. But, first, Stephen's story.  Look at verse 8: “Stephen was filled with grace and power and performed great signs and wonders amongst the people.  But some from the Freemen's Synagogue, as it was named, and from Cyrene, Alexandria, Cilicia, and Asia stood up and disputed with Stephen.  They could not, however resist the wisdom and the spirit with which he spoke.”  Stephen preached in the gospel in the synagogues.  And here's the thing.  Luke makes a point of saying that Stephen wasn't just full of power; he was also full of grace.  We've all heard people speak who are full of power, but are short on grace.  They can be jerks.  Maybe they're right, but just the way they speak makes people angry.  But that's not Stephen.  He's speaking with great grace.  But the folks listening still aren't having any of it.  Not that Palestinian Jews were any more receptive, but Luke kind of gives the sense that maybe these folks—they're all hellenised, diaspora Jews like Stephen—maybe they're overly defensive of their Jewish heritage because they feel deficient in some way for not being Palestinian Jews.  Whatever their motivation, they're angry with what he says and they get even angrier because they couldn't resist him.  And then they get even angrier—we've all seent his happen—they're even angrier, because he's not angry in response. He's full of grace  They couldn't refute what he was saying.  But rather than concede, they dig in and at that point there's only one thing left to do: they make false accusation of blasphemy.  Verse 11: “Then they put up men to say, ‘We heard this man speaking blasphemous words against Moses and against God.'  They aroused the people, the elders, and the scribes.  They set upon him, seized him, and took him in front of the assembly.  They set up false witnesses to say, ‘This man never stops speaking words against this holy place and the law.  We heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs which Moses handed down to us.'  Everyone who was sitting in the assembly looked hard at Stephen.  They all saw that his face was like the face of an angel.” It sounds a lot like the accusations against Jesus, when he was accused of saying he would destroy the temple and rebuilt it in three day.  Of course, yes, he said that, but his point was that God was doing something new, that God was about to fulfil his promises, and that God would establish a new temple in which he would come to dwell with his people.  But the Jewish elders didn't hear it that way, not because Jesus wasn't clear, but because they couldn't accept that God was fulfilling his promises through Jesus.  If Jesus was the Messiah, he was doing it all wrong, at least so far as they were concerned.  He couldn't be the one. And now exactly the same thing is happening to Stephen.  We don't have his words, but based on the false accusations against him as well as his defence that will follow in Chapter 7, we have a pretty good idea what he was saying and it was closely related to what Jesus had said.  Just like Jesus, just like Peter, just like the preaching we see through Acts, Stephen told the story of God and his people and how it leads to Jesus. There were four things that were all-important for the Jews and that marked out their identity.  There was the temple; the torah or law; the land of Israel itself and especially Jerusalem, where the temple was; and there was their ethnic identity as Jews—the sons and daughters of Abraham, delivered by God from Egypt when Moses led them through the Red Sea to Mt. Sinai.  Those things marked them out as God's people.  Those things marked them out as separated, as different from the pagan peoples and nations around them.  Compromise those things, and you'd be sliding down a slippery slope into the same idolatry that had got their ancestors exiled to Babylon.  So when Stephen spoke, as any of the Christians would have, about God establishing a new temple or about Jesus fulfilling torah, out came the angry charges of blasphemy. But those first Christians—just like Jesus—were never attacking the temple or the law.  The problem was that Israel—despite knowing her own story so well and so thoroughly—had forgotten where it was going and then failed to recognise how Jesus was bringing it to its climax.  When Jesus or when Peter or when Stephen said that God was doing a new thing, what people like the priests and the scribes, the Pharisees and the Sadducees, people like Saul of Tarsus heard was that these Jesus people were saying was the law and the temple were bad. What Stephen (like Jesus and Peter before him) was trying to say is that the word of God tells a story and that this story was moving forward and, as it moved forward, new things would happen.  This didn't mean that the old things that had happened were bad.  Just the opposite!  They were good.  They were necessary to get the story to the point it's at now.  Imagine you take a trip to Montreal.  First you drive your car to Nanaimo to get to the ferry, then you take the ferry to Horseshoe Bay, then you get off the ferry and get on a bus that takes you downtown, where you take SkyTrain to the airport, where you finally board an airplane that flies you across the country.  The fact that you left your car parked in Nanaimo to get on a ferry or that you left Skytrain to get on an airplane or even that you stopped travelling once you arrived in Montreal, none of that means that the car or the ferry or the bus or the airplane or even the trip itself was bad.  You couldn't get where you are without them!  And, just so, God gave Israel the law.  God gave Israel the temple.  And they were good things.  They were necessary things.  They were gracious things.  They were things that prepared the people for and brought them to the part of the story where Jesus became a part of it. But they tuned this part out.  Some modern Christians do the same.  I'm not sure where it comes from.  Maybe it comes from listening to Luther with only one ear.  But we get the idea that the old covenant was a bad thing.  People will get the wrong idea that the old covenant was about being saved by works and that's why Israel refused Jesus, who came to offer salvation by grace.  A thousand time, no.  If that's what Stephen had been saying, the Jews would have been right to be angry with him, because he would have been wrong.  The status of God's people has never been because of works; it has always been because of grace.  That's part of how the old covenant prepared people and led them to the part of the story where Jesus enters. Other times we just ignore God's story altogether and try to write our own.  But what's often even more dangerous is when we know God's story to a point, but then we lock it down and refuse to let him take it in a new direction.  We do that.  And that's what these folks mad at Stephen are doing.  Jesus just couldn't be where the story they knew was heading; instead, Jesus became a threat to their version of the story. And yet Stephen persisted.  Even as they dragged him before the Sanhedrin with a slate of false witnesses against him.  And think about that.  They're convinced they're in the right.  They're convinced that they represent God and everything that is good and right and true.  They think they're the heaven on earth people.  And yet what do that they do in response to his preaching?  They lie. By their actions they condemn themselves.  And in contrast stands Stephen.  For all his speaking with power, he's full of grace.  And as he stands before the Sanhedrim, as false witness after false witness testified against him, the Spirit, God, transforms—almost transfigures him—to the point that the whole assembly is left staring at him.  Luke says his face became like the face of an angel. As far as literal appearance, I don't know what that means.  But the important thing is that everyone recognised what was happening and in that moment, the Spirit revealed Stephen—and along with him the church—for what he, what they, what we really are: In that moment Stephen was revealed as the face of Jesus' heaven on earth people.  He was actively part of the church living out heaven on earth.  He was preaching the good news about Jesus and he is the fulfilment of God's promise to bring heaven and earth back together.  And in the middle of this controversy, in the middle of the false accusations, in the middle of these men who, despite all the evidence, were digging in their heels and refusing to accept the message about Jesus, refusing to let God lead the story they new so well in a new direction, God himself vindicated Stephen and made him a manifestation of heaven on earth.  Stephen was full of the Spirit, a little temple in miniature full of God's presence.  As if the shekinah—the cloud of glory visibly representing God's presence that had been missing from the temple ever since Israel's exile—suddenly became present with Stephen.  God announcing: “In this man, in this people, through my son, in this gospel I am fulfilling my promises.  Listen to him.” Brothers and Sisters, this should be a picture of us.  The bit where Stephen was transfigured and looked like an angel—whatever that means—that was unique.  But the rest of it, that ought to be us.  A people committed to be a covenant family, not just overflowing with talk of love and grace and mercy, but a family of people where love and grace and mercy are abundant in real, practical ways.  A family where we make a point of doing what needs doing to make sure that nothing gets in the way of that love and grace and mercy.  We ought to be a people of word and of prayer who are bold for the gospel, because we know that the power lies not with us, but with God.  His word, not ours, brings life.  His Spirit has the power to renew minds and regenerate hearts.  And so we pray, entrusting ourselves and our ministry to him and we proclaim not our word, but his.  We tell the story that leads the world to Jesus.  And if we're doing all these things, that word, that story will have power, but our telling of it will also be full of grace. The world, the flesh, and the devil will do their worst.  People will dig in their heels.  People will tell lies about us and about the story and the good news we proclaim.  People may even violently persecute us one day.  But remember: It's all of grace.  The story that leads us through the law and the prophets, through torah and temple, is all about the grace of God towards rebellious sinners, and so is the story that leads to forgiveness and life with God, the story that leads us to Jesus and the Spirit and eventually to the New Jerusalem.  Brothers and Sisters, it's all of grace.  Live the story of God's grace and the light of heaven will permeate the church.  Proclaim the story of God's grace, and that light will being to permeate the world. Let's pray: Lord, fill us with your grace.  And don't just fill us with it; ensure that we're ever and always overwhelmed by the knowledge and understanding of your grace, so that we will live it out in practical terms as your church and so that we will go out with boldness to proclaim your good news, not to win arguments, but make your grace known.  Through Jesus we pray.  Amen.

Episode 221:Last time I took you into the world of the court masque with the help of Kristen Macdermott who, I think you will agree, painted a very detailed picture of that very particular theatrical form and the way the Stuart court embraced it. As we heard, masques were often written by playwrights and performed by actors who also wrote for and performed in the public playhouse, so it's no surprise that a few plays feature masques. We have already encountered short masques in ‘Much Ado About Nothing' and ‘Timon of Athens', with the best known example from ‘The Tempest' still to come and Shakespeare's next offering ‘Anthony and Cleopatra' would, you might think, have been another opportunity to include a masque featuring exotic characters to add to the glamorous setting. In fact, Shakespeare chose not to include a masque specifically, but we can see that he uses the attributes of the masque throughout the play.Masque elements used in ‘Antony and Cleopatra'The dating of the playThe early print history of the playThe sources for the playThe different style of the play from it's near neighboursA brief synopsis of the playHow the main characters and the political story and love story are balanced in the playThe hyperbolic language used in the playThe character of AntonyEquals and opposites in the play and how Antony deals with themThe character of OctaviusThe character of CleopatraThe death of CleopatraAntony and Cleopatra as a Stuart period playA short word on the history of criticism of the playThe later performance history of the play Support the podcast at:www.thehistoryofeuropeantheatre.comwww.patreon.com/thoetpwww.ko-fi.com/thoetpYou can find an advertisement free version of the latest podcast episodes by joining on Patreon at the lowest paid tier level – that's for just £1 per month.

You Don't Have To Change The World Single Handed; Just Be A Part Of The Ripple That God's Love Makes Acts 6:5-7 5This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit; also Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism. 6They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them. 7So the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.

Now in these days when the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint by the Hellenists arose against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution. And the twelve summoned the full number of the disciples and said, “It is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables. Therefore, brothers, pick out from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint to this duty. But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” And what they said pleased the whole gathering, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch. These they set before the apostles, and they prayed and laid their hands on them.And the word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests became obedient to the faith.

It's Memorial Day in the United States, a day devoted to remembering the soldiers who have died in service. Together, the society grieves, mourns, and attempts to unite. Similarly, communities can come together through actions like loving; giving; marrying; conversing; acting and doing; and speaking to one another. But what happens when individuals are blocked from the processes that bring a community together? In this episode, Jacke talks to author Sarah Beckwith about her book Shakespeare and Loss: The Late, Great Tragedies, which looks at Shakespeare's use of protagonists who are driven out (or drive themselves out) of family and society in plays like Hamlet, King Lear, Timon of Athens, Macbeth, Coriolanus, and Antony and Cleopatra. How (and why) does Shakespeare portray individuals who have lost their access to these vital concepts of human bonding? And what can we learn from Shakespeare's examples? PLUS Caroline Lea (Love, Sex, and Frankenstein) stops by to discuss her choice for the last book she will ever read. The music in this episode is by Gabriel Ruiz-Bernal.

Acts 6In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenistic Jews among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, “It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables. Brothers and sisters, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word.”This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit; also Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism. They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them.So the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.SummaryIn this episode of "Right Side Up," Danielle Strickland and James Sholl explore themes of inclusion, power dynamics, and community within the early church, as depicted in Acts 6. They discuss how the early church addressed issues of neglect and racism by empowering marginalized groups, specifically the Hellenists, to lead and distribute resources. This approach is highlighted as a model for modern communities to correct systemic imbalances and foster inclusivity. The conversation emphasizes the importance of listening to underrepresented voices and sharing power to reflect the spirit of the gospel.This series was originally preached at James' church Wellspring Worship Centre - a diverse and Jesus loving community found in Toronto.

Episode 215:Last time Ben Jonson regained his stride in the public theatre with his comedy ‘Volpone', an at moments sparkling satire of greed and avarice. Just about the only parallel I can draw between this and Shakespeare's next offering, ‘Timon of Athens', is that the study of greed appears in both, but they are very different plays in tone, character and intent. Shakespeare not only continued in his recent sombre mood but deepened it significantly with this play. When reading around the play in preparation for this episode on more than one occasion I saw the play cited as Shakespeare's least popular play, it is certainly one that is rarely performed and there are many questions about the ‘whys and hows' of its creation, so buckle up, this might well be more than a little challenging.The early performance and print history of the playThe source material for the playThe possible co-authorship of the playA brief synopsis of the plotThe structure of the playThe character of TimonIssues with explaining Timon's behaviourTimon's railing against Athens and mankindTimon's discovery of buried goldTimon's deathThe character of AlcibiadesThe play as a satire of wealth rather than a tragedyThe later performance historySome of the critical assessments of the playSupport the podcast at:www.thehistoryofeuropeantheatre.comwww.patreon.com/thoetpwww.ko-fi.com/thoetpYou can find an advertisement free version of the latest podcast episodes by joining on Patreon at the lowest paid tier level – that's for just £1 per month.

In Romeo and Juliet, Juliet declares "Thou know'st the mask of night is on my face, Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek" Katharina in Taming of the SHrew talks about painting your face, and Timon of Athens makes a connection between painting and your face saying "wear them, betray with them: whore still; Paint till a horse may mire upon your face, A pox of wrinkles!" And of course, Hamlet has the most famous facial disguise quote when he says "God has given you one face but you make yourself another." All of these references underpin what we know about cosmetics and facial care in Shakespeare's England. Famously, Queen Elizabeth herself kept her face quite decadently forever striving after that porcelain skinned ideal that was a hallmark of the Elizabethan Era. But what did women use to take care of their faces in the Elizabethan era, and in a. Culture where people like Hamlet were suspicious of women who disguised their true form, how was makeup received? Was it something normal and every day, or were there instances when applying makeup, or perhaps even the wrong makeup, could get someone into trouble? To find out more and explore the intricate and complex world of makeup, cosmetics, and facial care for women of Shakespeare's lifetime, we're delighted to welcome historian and author of Beauty and Cosmetics, 1550–1950, Sarah Jane Downing to the show this week. She's here to take us behind the makeup counters of Tudor women and share with us what we might there.
