Podcasts about Tower

Send us Fan MailThe Tower of Babel is far more than a story about human pride or the origin of different languages. In this episode, we step into the world of ancient Mesopotamia to explore what towers, cities, and ziggurats meant to the people who first heard Genesis. Together, we'll examine Nimrod's kingdom, the significance of Babylon, and humanity's attempt to create its own gateway to heaven on its own terms. By recovering the ancient context of Genesis 11, we discover that Babel isn't just about a tower—it is about two competing visions of the world: God's kingdom and humanity's relentless desire to build its own.

Welcome to Day 2918 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2918 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 147:12-20 Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2918 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2918 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The title for today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Swift Word of the Sovereign King – Fortifying Zion and Thawing the Frozen Wilderness On our previous expedition—on Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred Seventeen—we stepped onto the opening slopes of Psalm One Hundred Forty-Seven, exploring verses one through eleven. We marveled at the breathtaking paradox of our Creator: the very same Almighty God who marshals the stars of heaven, calling each one by name, is the gentle Physician who bends down to bandage the broken hearts of hurting exiles. We learned that Yahweh takes no delight in the brute strength of warhorses or human self-reliance, but instead, takes supreme pleasure in those who humbly put their hope in His unfailing covenant love. Today, as we continue along Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred Eighteen of our trek, we move directly into the second half of this glorious hymn: Psalm One Hundred Forty-Seven, verses twelve through twenty. In this concluding movement, the psalmist turns his focus toward the fortified walls of Jerusalem, the fierce power of winter weather, and the unique, incomparable privilege of receiving God's holy word. We will see how the sovereign command of yahweh rules effortlessly over both the physical elements of nature and the spiritual destiny of His covenant people. The first segment is: Fortified Gates and the Finest Wheat: The Security of the City Let us open our ears to the exuberant call to worship that begins this second stanza, as recorded in the New Living Translation, grouping together the logical, contiguous thoughts found in verse twelve, verse thirteen, and verse fourteen. Glorify the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion! For he has strengthened the bars of your gates and blessed your children within your city. He sends peace across your nation and satisfies your hunger with the finest wheat. The psalmist issues a thunderous, joyous summons to the holy city, shouting, “Glorify the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion!” He immediately anchors this call in concrete acts of divine protection and flourishing, declaring, “For he has strengthened the bars of your gates and blessed your children within your city. He sends peace across your nation and satisfies your hunger with the finest wheat.” To grasp the profound relief and joy embedded in these verses, we must remember the historical setting of post-exilic Jerusalem. The city walls had been torn down by Nebuchadnezzar's armies, the gates were burned with fire, and for decades, the returning remnants lived in perpetual fear of hostile surrounding tribes. But when Nehemiah and the people rebuilt the walls under Yahweh's guidance, the city gates were once again secured with heavy bars! Yet, the psalmist recognizes that physical iron bars are useless unless the Lord Himself strengthens them. It is Yahweh who establishes real, impenetrable security around the community, allowing children to play safely within the city streets without fear of sudden invasion. Furthermore, notice the scope of this blessing! It extends from structural safety to internal prosperity. Yahweh grants shalom—complete, untroubled peace—across the borders of the nation, and He satisfies the people's hunger with the “finest wheat.” In the Ancient Israelite divine-council worldview, neighboring pagan nations believed that agriculture and territorial peace depended on sacrificing to localized fertility gods like Baal or Asherah. But Israel knew the truth! Yahweh alone controls the borders of the earth, and Yahweh alone opens the bounty of creation to nourish His children with the very best food. The second segment is: The Cosmic Voice of Winter: Snow, Frost, and the Swift Word The narrative now transitions from civil security to the vast, sweeping power of God's command over the forces of nature, combining the contiguous thoughts found in verse fifteen, verse sixteen, verse seventeen, and verse eighteen. He sends his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly! He sends the snow like white wool; he scatters the frost like ashes. He hurls the hail like stones. Who can stand against his freezing cold? Then at his command, it melts. He sends the wind, and the ice thaws. Look at the astonishing speed and absolute authority of God's royal decrees! The psalmist proclaims, “He sends his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly! He sends the snow like white wool; he scatters the frost like ashes. He hurls the hail like stones. Who can stand against his freezing cold? Then at his command, it melts. He sends the wind, and the ice thaws.” In this breathtaking section, the word of God—His davar—is personified as an invincible, swift royal messenger! In the ancient Near East, human kings sent runners across their empires to deliver royal decrees, but those human couriers were limited by speed, terrain, and exhaustion. When Yahweh speaks from His celestial throne room, His word runs like lightning across the globe, instantly obeyed by every element of creation. Notice how the psalmist paints the freezing winter weather: snow falling soft and thick like white wool, frost coating the ground like scattered wood-ash, and hail pounding down like jagged stones! Winter in the mountainous regions of Israel could be severe, paralyzing life and threatening survival. The psalmist asks the dramatic rhetorical question: “Who can stand against his freezing cold?” Human military power, heavy armor, and thermal garments are completely helpless when the Creator turns down the tem“erature of the earth! Yet, just as quick”y as the frost seals the land in ice, Yahweh issues another swift command: He releases His warm wind—His ruach—and the ice immediately thaws, streams begin to flow again, and spring returns to the land. In the divine-council framework, the spiritual principalities that pagan nations worshipped as lords of winter or chaos are unmasked as mere puppets before Yahweh; the weather is simply obedient clay in the hands of the ultimate Cosmic Craftsman. The third segment is: The Unique Treasure: Revealing Decrees to Jacob Having demonstrated how Yahweh's swift word commands the physical cosmos, the psalmist reaches the grand finale of the psalm, revealing the supreme, incomparable gift given exclusively to Israel, as recorded in verse nineteen and verse twenty. He has revealed his word to Jacob, his decrees and regulations to Israel. He has not done this for any other nation; they do not know his regulations. Praise the Lord! The psalmist seals this magnificent hymn with a declaration of astounding covenant privilege, exclaiming, “He has revealed his word to Jacob, his decrees and regulations to Israel. He has not done this for any other nation; they do not know his regulations. Praise the Lord!” Think about the staggering theological progression of Psalm One Hundred Forty-Seven! The God who commands the trillions of stars in verse four, and who directs the freezing hail and melting winds in verses fifteen through eighteen, has chosen to speak directly to human beings! But He did not reveal His holy, written law to the mighty Egyptian empire, nor to the cultured Babylonians, nor to the warlike Assyrians. Instead, He entrusted His sacred decrees, His Torah, and His legal judgments—His mishpatim—uniquely to the descendants of Jacob! To fully appreciate this verse, we must view it through the lens of Deuteronomy chapter thirty-two in the ancient Israelite divine-council worldview. When Yahweh divided the nations after the Tower of Babel, He allocated the pagan peoples under the oversight of lesser spiritual beings, the "sons of God." But Israel was Yahweh's personal, direct inheritance! While other nations stumbled in spiritual darkness, worshipping idols and guessing at the desires of fickle gods, Israel was given the clear, brilliant, life-giving light of Yahweh's written word. They were given the blueprint of cosmic wisdom, showing them how to live in alignment with the Creator. This unique revelation calls for an explosive, ultimate response, ending the psalm with that glorious, unshakeable command: Hallelujah—Praise the Lord! As we conclude today's trek through Psalm One Hundred Forty-Seven,

Bex sends Adam back to the 15th century as he visits the Loxwood Joust, an entire medieval fantasy kingdom hidden away in an ancient woodland at Loxwood, right on the West Sussex and Surrey border. You park your car in the 21st century, walk through a marquee, and come out somewhere completely different! Adam meets founder Morris Bacon, who runs the event with his son Danny, to hear how a small family medieval festival grew over 14 years into one of the biggest events of its kind in the UK, with an artistic director, actors as well as reenactors, and proper storylines you can join in with. Along the way there are witches, a talking wall, a working replica of the rack from the Tower of London, blacksmiths and scribes to have a go with, archery, axe throwing, a jester, puppets, and a band all the way from Spain called Trobar de Morte. Adam also watches the Meat Grinder, where around forty fighters in full armour charge at each other with swords and axes! The Loxwood Joust runs across the first three weekends of August.Join Fun Kids Podcasts+: https://funkidslive.com/plusSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this long genealogy, and in the Tower of Babel, we see the providence of God on display as He governs the rise and fall of the nations, He restrains the pride of sinful man, and He preserves the promised offspring of the woman, preparing the way for Jesus Christ. In other words, as the 1689 Confession says in chapter 5, paragraph 7, "The providence of God in a general way includes all creatures, but in a special way it takes care of His church and arranges all things to its good."

Doug saw The Odyssey on opening weekend. Justin saw it the following Wednesday in IMAX 70mm. They both walked out saying the same thing: that is cinema at its finest. The full review is here. Justin's IMAX 70mm experience gets the full breakdown first. Every frame deliberately composed, the sheer amount of visual information on screen, the walk back to see the giant film spools running the projector. Then the film itself: what Nolan got right about scale, spectacle, and practical effects. The Cyclops was built using a combination of a massive puppet for the actors to work around and a real actor in full prosthetics and makeup on a scaled-down set, composited together the old-school way. The giants were played by actual seven-foot-tall people standing next to a stunt double under five feet tall. No CGI shortcut. No painted-in crowd. A thousand extras on the day they shot the Land of the Dead. Jon Bernthal in the water for half a day, approaching hypothermia, refusing to come out until they had the shot. Also in this episode: a significant announcement. Mind Gap Podcast is ending at Episode 550. Doug and Justin have been at this for eleven years and have decided Episode 550 is the right place to close the chapter. The Discord will remain active. The community is not going anywhere. But the podcast wraps in a few episodes. They discuss what the community has meant to them and why finding that group of people has been one of the best things to come out of eleven years of doing this. Before all that: at what age do you stop using familial titles like aunt and uncle? Doug does not have aunts, uncles, grandparents, or cousins, so the answer for him is immediate. Justin is forty-three and still says Uncle Mike. Also: Hooters is examined as a business model in the current era and found to be of questionable viability. Then: a deep dive into the Book of the Dead LitRPG series by RynoZ, which Doug is now three books into and cannot stop recommending. The world-building concept is that at age eighteen you put your hand on a stone and get assigned your permanent class, whether that is a farmer, a bard, an accountant, or a banned necromancer on the run from the government. This leads to a conversation about what class each host would want to be awakened into. Doug says cook. Justin says Urban Explorer, which is not a real class in the book but seems accurate. The Urban Dictionary game returns. This round covers Mickey Mousing, Eternity Leave, Werewolf's Dick, and Ottawa Spaghetti. Justin gets closer than expected on most of them. Ottawa Spaghetti takes a turn. This week's recommendations: Justin: The Odyssey. See it in the theater. See it in IMAX if you can. When it comes home it will still be great but feel it on a big screen first. Doug: Monsters Are Coming on Steam. Tower defense slash vampire survivors hybrid. Four dollars on sale. Highly addictive.

This episode is about the developmental progression and mission outcomes of SpaceX's Starship program, specifically focusing on Flight 12 and Flight 13. Documentation for the twelfth test flight highlights the introduction of Block 3 hardware and the activation of a second launch pad at Starbase, though the mission ended with the grounding of the fleet following a booster mishap. The subsequent coverage of the thirteenth mission describes a more successful iteration where the upper stage achieved several milestones, including the deployment of Starlink satellites and a controlled soft splashdown in the ocean. Together, these sources outline the iterative process of testing the world's most powerful rocket to meet future NASA Artemis lunar goals. The texts also catalog the rigorous technical testing and vehicle histories of the specific boosters and ships used in these high-altitude trials. Overall, the information illustrates the shift from experimental prototypes toward an operational vehicle capable of rapid reusability.

In this monthly episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, Jonathan Thomas returns with his August edition of What's On in London — and this one comes with a personal twist, because Jonathan will be in London himself later in the month. August is London's most contradictory month: the busiest tourist season of the year, a million-plus visitors, packed attractions and carnival streets — and yet simultaneously the month when Londoners themselves flee to Cornwall and France, leaving whole districts strangely quiet. Jonathan covers it all: the Notting Hill Carnival (August 30–31, its 60th anniversary this year, Europe's largest street festival, free entry); the major royal and historic building openings including Buckingham Palace State Rooms, Houses of Parliament summer tours, and the freshly restored Banqueting House reopening August 1st; London's brand new museum, Trent Park House of Secrets — just opened July 21st, telling the extraordinary wartime spy story that was kept under the Official Secrets Act for over 50 years; new West End openings including Jane Eyre the Musical and Kimberly Akimbo; the blockbuster exhibitions still running and closing this month; live music at Victoria Park and Wembley; family-friendly highlights; the VAT tourist discount reducing admission prices across major attractions this summer; and Jonathan's own personal list of what he's booked and planning to see — including the Ceremony of the Keys at the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace's East Wing tour, the Wallace Collection's Churchill as Painter exhibition, and Trent Park.

The Saturday Steel Band Competition (August 29) requires a ticket; Sunday Children's Day and Monday main parade are free. Arrive early, follow your nose to the food stalls, and keep your wits about you in the crowds. Trent Park House of Secrets — London's brand new museum, opened July 21st — tells the extraordinary story of the WWII intelligence operation where 59 captured German generals were housed in apparent luxury, never knowing the entire house was bugged. Often called "the other Bletchley Park." Tickets are £14 (~$20), open Tuesday–Sunday, and it's on the Piccadilly Line at Oakwood station. Jonathan is going. Buckingham Palace State Rooms are open daily through August 31, 9:30am to 7:30pm — the longest opening hours of the season. Jonathan has booked both the State Rooms tour and the newly opened East Wing tour. If you haven't booked yet, check for remaining availability immediately; the best slots are gone but cancellations do appear. Banqueting House on Whitehall — Inigo Jones's 1622 masterpiece with its Rubens ceiling, the building outside which Charles I was executed — reopens fully on August 1st after a major restoration. Adults £10, under 16s free, open Thursday–Monday. New lift for step-free access. One of London's most underrated experiences. The Ceremony of the Keys at the Tower of London — the world's oldest unbroken military ceremony, performed every night for at least 700 years — releases the next month's tickets on the first working day of each month. The next release is August 3rd at 1pm. Jonathan got a ticket; it requires an early wake-up and sells out within hours of release. The UK government has instituted a 15% VAT discount on tourist attraction admissions this summer — which means lower prices at major London attractions. If you booked in advance, you may be entitled to a partial refund for the difference; check with each venue. Lower prices also means slightly larger crowds. The Greenwich + Docklands International Festival runs August 21 to September 6 — 17 days of completely free outdoor theatre, circus and dance across Greenwich Park, Woolwich, and the Docklands. The two-day Greenwich Fair on August 22–23 in Greenwich Park is the unmissable centerpiece. No ticket required — just show up. Several major exhibitions close on or around August 23rd — a critical date. Zurbarán at the National Gallery, Fairy Tales at the British Library, David Hockney at the Royal Academy, Hervien Anderson at Tate Britain, and Patrick Caulfield at the Royal Academy all close that day. If you're arriving after August 23rd, these are gone. The BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall run all month and into September — the world's largest classical music festival, with day-of standing tickets potentially available on the door. Jonathan hasn't managed to go yet and still wants to. It's worth trying even if you can't book ahead. August in London is genuinely two cities at once: over a million tourists fill the attractions and the carnival streets, while large swaths of residential London go quiet as locals escape. The wise visitor uses this: the tourist attractions are busy, but the parks, the residential neighborhoods, and the early mornings are surprisingly peaceful. Soundbites "August is London's most contradictory month. Every guidebook tells you it's peak season — and every guidebook is right. And yet at exactly the same time, London kind of empties out. Locals flee to Cornwall, to France, to anywhere that isn't a stuffy office in a heat wave. Whole districts can go completely quiet." — Jonathan on August's strange duality. "The Notting Hill Carnival is that one weekend where London's multicultural and diverse character — which can feel oddly invisible at other times of the year — is front and center. It's loud. It's joyful. And it's entirely free." — Jonathan on why the carnival matters. "They captured high-level German officers and put them all in one place. What the prisoners didn't know was that the entire house was wired with microphones. And hidden in a concealed basement, around a hundred secret listeners — many of them German-speaking Jewish refugees who had fled the Nazis — were recording and transcribing every careless word." — Jonathan on Trent Park House of Secrets. "I have wanted to go inside Buckingham Palace for twenty years. I'm finally doing it this year. I've got my tickets booked. I'm going to do the State Room tour, I'm going to see the freshly rehung picture gallery, and I've booked the East Wing tour. That is going to take a whole Saturday. I cannot wait." — Jonathan on his long-awaited Buckingham Palace visit. "The Ceremony of the Keys is considered the world's longest military ceremony. They say it's been running for a thousand years — I'm skeptical, but at least as long as there's been a Tower of London. I woke up early and managed to snag a ticket before they sold out. Because they do sell out immediately." — Jonathan on booking the Ceremony of the Keys. "Banqueting House. Inigo Jones's masterpiece on Whitehall, with its Rubens ceiling. The one surviving fragment of the old Palace of Whitehall — the very spot where Charles I was executed in 1649. It reopens for the summer on August 1st. That is a lot of history in one place." — Jonathan on Banqueting House reopening. "The government has instituted a fifteen percent discount off the twenty percent VAT for tourists visiting tourist attractions this summer. So this month you will see lower prices at all of London's major tourist attractions. And if you booked in advance, you should be getting a refund." — Jonathan on the summer VAT tourist discount. "I love Star Trek. I have seen every episode of Star Trek dozens of times. You can't see over there, but I'm building the LEGO Enterprise D model right now. And I'm going to go see this exhibition because it's the 60th anniversary and the producers don't seem to want to celebrate it much — but everybody else is." — Jonathan on his plan to visit the Star Trek at 60 Trail at the Science Museum. "Several things close on August 23rd. I'm arriving after August 23rd. So I'm going to miss the David Hockney, the Zurbarán, the Tracey Emin. It's a bit annoying.

One of Oakland's most recognizable towers just defaulted on a $97.1 million loan — and its market value has collapsed by 75%. One Kaiser Plaza, the Ordway building that serves as Kaiser Permanente's national headquarters, missed its mortgage maturity date on July 1st. The lender is now seizing rents, the owners are in technical default, and the story is public because a Form 8-K doesn't lie. When a publicly traded company can't hide the math, the math tells the whole story.This isn't a market anomaly — it's a policy outcome. Kaiser's own internal memos warned employees to stay inside during lunch because of street crime. Now Kaiser is shrinking its California footprint, downtown Oakland foot traffic has evaporated, and a marquee office tower that once anchored the city's skyline is sitting in its lender's lap. A 75% markdown on a flagship property isn't a blip. That's a verdict.The commercial real estate reckoning playing out in Oakland echoes the worst of the Great Recession — except this time the damage is entirely self-inflicted. Cities that tolerated disorder, chased out employers, and treated crime as a housing problem are now watching their tax base get marked down in real time. Oakland isn't just losing a tower. It's losing the argument that progressive urban policy is survivable at scale.CHAPTERS0:00 Downtown Gut Punch: Oakland Kaiser…0:55 Kaiser Tower Takes 75% Value Hit1:32 One Kaiser Plaza Enters Loan Default2:16 Kaiser's Exit Hollows Downtown Oakland3:16 Commercial Real Estate Squeezes Local…3:55 The Refinance Math That Broke the Deal5:45 Commercial Resets Mirror the Great…7:41 75% Markdown Leaves No Equity Cushion8:16 Oakland Crime Forces Kaiser's Lunch Memo10:07 Kaiser Moves Workers Out of Downtown10:50 Oakland Crime Drives Kaiser's Pullout11:58 What Comes Next for Kaiser Tower12:42 Major Employers Abandoning Oakland and…14:06 Oakland's Crime Optics Drive Tenants…16:32 Subscribe for the Next EpisodeSubscribe to @reasonablenews and hit the notification bell so you don't miss the next episode of News for Reasonable People.#NFRP #Oakland #KaiserTowerGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

Can the church learn to follow the Spirit into places it hasn't been looking? In this episode of Thinking Christian, Dr. James Spencer and Dr. Ashish Varma sit down with Dr. Oscar Garcia-Johnson — Professor of Theology and Decolonial Studies at Fuller Theological Seminary and author of Spirit Outside the Gate: Decolonial Pneumatologies of the American Global South — for a conversation that will stretch your theological imagination in the best possible way. Oscar unpacks why the Holy Spirit resists every attempt at domestication, why Pentecost was never about cosmetic diversity, and why genuine Christian maturity looks less like doctrinal confidence and more like humble, attentive discernment. Drawing from scripture, church history, and his own journey as a pastor-scholar moving between the church, the academy, and the city, Oscar challenges the "canonical imagination of the West" — not to reject Christian theology, but to reroute it toward a more faithful, Spirit-led witness in a global, pluralistic world. If you've ever felt the tension between theological certainty and genuine openness to what God is doing in surprising places, this episode is for you. Key Takeaways: Why pneumatology (the study of the Holy Spirit) naturally resists the same gating mechanisms that Christology can fall prey to The difference between relativism and Spirit-led discernment — and why Oscar is firmly not a relativist How the Tower of Babel and Pentecost represent two competing logics still at work in the church today What "terminal knowledge" is and how the Spirit is actively healing it in marginalized communities Why true Christian maturity is relational and active — not self-referential How to ask "Where is God?" instead of only "Where is the devil?" when encountering other cultures and traditions The connection between Acts 7, the Jerusalem Council, and Spirit-led openness to the Gentiles Oscar's new book Decolonial Love in Times of Hatred: 40 Ways to Follow Jesus Today Get early access and a bonus with a Patreon membership.

From royal courts and rural villages to South Philadelphia, poison has long been a weapon of choice for those seeking a discreet way to kill, sometimes spawning organized networks of murder motivated by money, power, or escape from unhappy lives. This episode explores three of history's most notorious poison rings: the Affair of the Poisons in Louis XIV's France, Hungary's Angel Makers of Nagyrév, and the deadly Philadelphia Poison Ring of the 1930s, an alleged murder conspiracy that may have claimed dozens of victims.Join the Harrisburg Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society for a behind-the-scenes look at Harris Tower and the Power Directors Office, two remarkable pieces of Pennsylvania Railroad history hidden in plain sight. Chapter leaders and historians share how this once-bustling rail hub operated, why its 113-lever interlocking machine was a marvel of its time, and how volunteers are preserving its legacy for future generations.

AI news: Sam Altman says we're IN the Singularity, GPT-6 rumors, and AI models literally broke out of their sandbox. What a week. On today's AI For Humans, we dig into the wild GPT-6 rumors (emphasis on RUMORS), Sam Altman's "I've been waiting for this my whole life" singularity moment, Ilya Sutskever's SSI scaling up with Nvidia, and the ongoing debate over whether Anthropic's Opus 5 is brilliant or just hard to love.

Power."Immigration is one of the most controversial issues of our time. In this episode, Kelly Monroe Kullberg, author, speaker, and co-founder of the American Association of Evangelicals, joins Scott and Luke Allen to move beyond political talking points and ask a more important question: What does the Bible actually teach about immigration?In this episode:The biblical purpose of nations and bordersThe dignity of every human being and caring for the foreignerCommon misconceptions about immigration and border securityWhy open borders could lead to the next Tower of BabelHow Christians can pursue both truth and compassionPractical ways Christians can engage one of today's most important issuesIf you've ever wondered how to think biblically about immigration, this conversation will challenge assumptions on every side of the debate.Who is the Disciple Nations Alliance (DNA)?

Richard Duke of Gloucester has the crown in his sights. But first, he needs to clear the room.  Allies become enemies. Councillors are arrested. Lord Hastings is dead. And Edward IV's heirs are locked in the Tower of London.  Then Richard needs to sell himself. A preacher declares Edward IV's children illegitimate while Richard positions himself as the antidote to his brother's salacious decadence. Richard's going to be England's pious, orderly, righteous king. Or so he claims.  The heirs locked in the tower slowly slip from public view — and history has never stopped asking about where they went.  – As always, Dan's royal favourites can chime in anytime on the royal court on Patreon at patreon.com/thisishistory. It's where you get your bonus episodes, and on this week's episode Dan tries to understand why Elizabeth Woodville handed her son over to Richard III from sanctuary at Westminster Abbey.

Vicky Joy Anderson peels back the layers of history, prophecy, and technology to reveal a sobering truth: AI isn't just a tool—it's part of a biblical weapon system designed to deceive and enslave.In this eye-opening conversation, Vicky shares how ancient relics, stones, and even the concept of "omnipotence" mirror the spiritual strategies of altars and idols from biblical times—now repackaged in Silicon Valley's AI. You'll discover how meteorites, silica, and ancient stones contain frequencies that can alter consciousness, linking past pagan rituals to modern tech. She explores the prophetic implications of AI, comparing it to the days of Noah and the Tower of Babel, warning believers to discern carefully before engaging with these powerful tools.You'll learn about the real meaning of artificial intelligence—its long history, its connection to divine and demonic powers, and the danger of conflating it with biblical markers like the mark of the beast. Vicky emphasizes the importance of unity in the body of Christ, resisting fear and division, and seeking God's wisdom in a rapidly changing spiritual landscape. This episode is perfect for believers seeking to understand how ancient spirits and technologies are converging—warning us that the time to wake up and stand firm is now.Whether you've studied biblical archaeology, AI, or spiritual warfare, this conversation will challenge your perspective and deepen your discernment. It's a call to awaken to a hidden world that's been unfolding for thousands of years—and to stand boldly in the truth of Jesus Christ amid the chaos.Get ready to see the unseen, understand the roots of modern deception, and arm yourself with biblical truth in these last days. Essential listening for pastors, believers, and truth-seekers who refuse to be blindsided by the enemy's new tech-fueled agenda.Vicky Joy Anderson is a researcher, author, and the mind behind "They Only Come Out at Night" and "From Eden to AI," known for her deep biblical insights and connections between ancient mysteries and today's spiritual warfare.Vicki's Website:https://www.vickijoyanderson.com====================

The Central Tower of Torres del Paine in Patagonia has been on the radar of many elite climbers ever since Tyler Karow's viral YouTube vlog documenting his ascent of the South African Route during an unprecedented long weather window. This past winter, several teams from around the world came down to test themselves on the slightly overhanging 4,000ft thumb of granite. You've probably heard of Tommy Caldwell and Siebe Vanhee's remarkable 24-hour free ascent of the South African Route, or the first all-female ascent by Belen Prados, Caro North, Amelie Kühne, and Julia Cassou. While climbing icons were making headlines, Myles Moser and his team were just around the corner making history of their own.Nearly 15 years ago, Myles and Amy Ness established Plate Tectonics, a grueling 3,300ft Grade VI 5.12 C1 on the East Face of the North Tower — a route they were both lucky to survive. The North Tower offers a remarkable view of the Central Tower, and it was from that vantage point that Myles first began imagining a new line up its unclimbed east face. That vision finally came true this past winter.Myles approaches new routes with a very specific style: ground up, capsule style. Once they leave the ground, they does everything possible to never come back until the route is finished — bringing everything they needs to live on the wall for up to a month, dedicating every waking second to pioneering a masterful, safe, repeatable, and free-climbable route up an unclimbed tower of granite. It's an approach that reflects Myles' blue-collar work ethic and a depth of passion for route development that's only found in the most elite climbers in the world. It took two expeditions over two years, $60K of personal funds, and a cumulative 71 days on the wall to establish his new route up the Central Tower. Together with Hugo Perez, Kellen McGrath, Trevor Anthes, and Harry Kinnard, Myles successfully completed the first ascent of Paradigm Shift — Grade VII 5.12+ A2, 4,000ft.This team is not sponsored. Every person on this expedition contributed their own money, gear, and time to make it happen. Which is exactly why this route — and their remarkable collective effort — has gone largely unnoticed in the wider climbing community, overshadowed by the catchy headlines of sponsored athletes. In alignment with the purpose of this podcast, I'm here to tell their story.If you've been following the show for a while, you'll remember episodes 67 and 68 where I last spoke with Myles. If you haven't heard those, I highly encourage you to go back and check them out — they add real context to who Myles is and the depth of experience he brings to Patagonia's big walls.This is part 1 of 2 of my conversation with Myles Moser and Harry Kinnard.#patagonia #firstascent #bigwallBoth Myles and Harry have written remarkable journals from their time on the wall — filled with personal anecdotes and intimate moments not fully shared in this podcast.

Join us for a captivating journey into the unknown as we sit down with Cyn Shrader Hill — a renowned paranormal investigator, researcher, founder of Elk Valley Paranormal (EVP), accomplished author, and gifted storyteller from Fayetteville, Tennessee. With decades of hands-on experience investigating haunted locations across the U.S. and abroad (including Gettysburg, Alcatraz, the Winchester Mystery House, and the Tower of London), Cyn has captured compelling Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVPs), documented profound signs from beyond, and explored the shadowy realms where the living and the departed intersect. She is the author of multiple gripping books, including It's Not Goodbye – Signs from Beyond, They're Speaking. Are You Listening? My Most Compelling EVPs, Realm of Shadows, and Death's Doorstep.In this episode, Cyn shares her most unforgettable encounters with the paranormal — from comforting messages and visitations by loved ones who have crossed over, to unsettling interactions with angry or trapped spirits. She recounts personal experiences like a mysterious red-haired lady who appeared as a full bodied apparition, a dark cloud-like entity that left an ominous impression, and the terrifying sensation of being charged by an unseen negative force. These experiences highlight how signs from the other side often arrive with perfect — and sometimes eerie — timing.We also dive deep into care home and hospital hauntings, where activity seems to spike as the veil thins for residents nearing the end of life. Is the Hat Man — that shadowy figure reported worldwide in medical settings — truly “collecting” souls, or is something even more mysterious at play? Cyn explores different types of entities, from benevolent spirits to darker presences, and what these experiences reveal about life, death, and what lies beyond.Adding to the high strangeness, Cyn discusses local legends from her Tennessee home turf, including chilling accounts of the Flintville Monster — an aggressive, Bigfoot-like creature known for its foul odor, towering presence, and hostile behavior that has terrified residents for decades.Whether you're a seasoned paranormal enthusiast or simply curious about life after death, this episode blends spine-tingling tales, thoughtful insights, and genuine wonder. Prepare to question what you thought you knew about the afterlife — and maybe even recognize signs from your own life.https://linktr.ee/cynshraderhillauthorGear up and get freaky with official Let's Get Freaky merchandise!

This week on Deadpod we're back at the Orpheum Theatre in San Francisco for the second set from 7/12/76, a show that has that special midsummer 1976 feel I've always loved: relaxed, open, and full of musical space, but with plenty of spark still in the band's step.  The set gets underway with a very nice "Sugaree," followed by a spirited "Samson And Delilah," and then we move into one of the great touchstones of the era — "Help On The Way" > "Slipknot!" > "Franklin's Tower," played here with real assurance and flow. From there the band keeps the momentum going with a lively "Dancing In The Street," and then settles into the deep emotional current of "Wharf Rat." After that comes "Drums," and then a wonderfully expansive "The Wheel" that helps push the set into its final stretch. "Around And Around" closes things out with some good old-fashioned punch, and "U.S. Blues" brings us home in the encore with just the right amount of swagger. It's a set that really shows what was happening with the Dead in 1976: the band had found a new balance, and they were making music with patience, depth, and a real sense of possibility. I hope you enjoy it. Grateful Dead Orpheum Theatre San Francisco, CA  7/12/1976 - Monday     Two      Sugaree [10:53] % Samson And Delilah [6:46] % Help On The Way [4:32] > Slipknot!

This week on Pastor's Point of View (PPOV) Pastor Andy Woods breaks down the latest developments in prophecy—from Supreme Court decisions reshaping America to Babylon's stunning economic revival. Justice Clarence Thomas warns of a "repurposing" that threatens our constitutional foundation. Meanwhile, 58 miles south of Baghdad, billions are pouring into Babylon's restoration as a global tourism hub—exactly as Revelation 17-18 predicts. One-world religion meetings now converge near the ancient Tower of Babel site. "The woman which you saw is the great city which reigns over the kings of the earth." (Revelation 17:18) From persecution rising in the UK to apostasy spreading through mainline denominations, the signs are converging. But there's hope: "Looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ" (Titus 2:13). Are you watching? Are you ready? #ProphecyUpdate #BabylonRising #Revelation17 #EndTimes #BlessedHope

Can historians win the fight against antisemitism and viral misinformation in the age of AI? Historian Niall Ferguson joins Dan to warn that fact-based historians are losing the battle with social media algorithms that spread false and antisemitic content to increasingly receptive audiences on both the right and left. He argues the rules of the fight have changed. Drawing on a new essay co-authored with AI researcher John-Clark Levin, Ferguson offers data on how algorithms, non-human bots, and AI are transforming how antisemitic ideas go viral, making traditional methods of exposing lies increasingly ineffective. If facts alone are no longer enough, what comes next? Read The Death of History by Niall Ferguson and John-Clark Levin.
