What IS the prime directive? What are the moral implications of violating a less developed society? What happens when people worship you as a god? In this episode of Holodeck Divas we discuss the Star Trek - The Next Generation episode "Who Watches the Watchers" (s3e4). Small spoiler, this wasn't the divas favorite season 3 episode, and they explain why. We do see a lot of Picard grandstanding, and maybe the writers of the episode didn't like religion very much? Listen and find out what Stef and Chris have to say!

Episode Notes This episode breaks the 4th wall in a fascinating way. Introducing Benny Russell, and some almost-familiar faces. Casual 1950s racism and sexism. Imagining a better future. Armon gets to be the moral backbone of a story for once. In every reality, Odo is a fascist. You never quite expect to hear the hard-R n-word in Trek but here we are.

The Vulcan Hello (Star Trek: Discovery, S1 E1) was recommended by Advik Goel (he/him) - Add-vic Go-El, who said: This episode was actually my entry point into the Star Trek franchise, outside of the first of the Kelvin-verse movies, so it holds a place in my heart even if DIS as a whole doesn't relative to other series anymore.Beyond that, I think the debate over the Vulcan Hello and its merits has always fascinated me. The show lays it out as a debate between the Federation's principles of not being the people to fire the first shot in a potential conflict, and a signal which will ensure the Klingons' respect and prevent a war.I think there is something delightfully contradictory about Vulcan and Klingon cultural norms and signals being seen as oppositional to the Federation's doctrine, despite the Vulcan's being core members of the Federation.While Burnham's mutiny is clearly the wrong way to win an argument, I have to question why the characters meant to represent a more typical Federation viewpoint, like Georgiou, are unfamiliar or unwilling to entertain the merits of something like a Vulcan Hello. At least based on what the show reveals, T'Kumva would have been badly undermined if a Vulcan Hello was delivered rather than the perceived disrespect of diplomatic entreaty.The Vulcan Hello first aired on September 24, 2017, written by story by Bryan Fuller & Alex Kurtzman, teleplay by Akiva Goldsman & Bryan Fuller, and directed by David SemelWhile patrolling Federation space, the U.S.S.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by Topo Athletic, in honor of Valentine's Day, we are once again putting love front and center-stage. We're joined by Annie and Jake, known on trail as Pistol and Lobo, who met at mile 166 of the Appalachian Trail in 2021 and are about to come full circle, getting married at Fontana Dam, the exact spot where they first met. We get the low down on how this romance was absolutely love at first sight, how and where things evolved from flirtation to romance to a full-blown committed relationship on trail, moving into a school bus post-trail, their attempt at recreating the magic on the PCT a few years later (spoiler alert: it was less magical), and tips to aspiring romantic hiker trash on how to find and sustain love on trail. We wrap the show with which pieces of gear a Trek Writer with more than 10,000 miles has eliminated from her pack, our internal dialogue while eating ice cream (and why maybe I have a problem), my ENEMY of the week (fitness influencer edition), and the triple crown of relationship hacks.   Topo Athletic: Use code "TREKWINTER15" at topoathletic.com.

Welcome to Day 2798 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2798 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 113:1-9 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2798 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand seven hundred ninety-eight 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 of today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Hallel Begins – The High God Who Stoops Low Today, we cross a significant threshold in our journey through the Psalter. We are stepping into Psalm One Hundred Thirteen, covering the entire hymn, verses one through nine, in the New Living Translation. To understand the shift we are making today, we need to look back at the trail we have just hiked. For the last two days, we have been trekking through Psalm One Hundred Eleven and Psalm One Hundred Twelve. Those two psalms were a matched pair—twin "acrostic" poems that functioned like a classroom. They taught us the "A to Z" of God's character and the "A to Z" of the godly person's character. They were wisdom psalms, designed to be studied, pondered, and memorized in the quiet of the study hall. But today, the bell rings, and the class is dismissed. We are moving from the study hall to the Festival. Psalm One Hundred Thirteen marks the beginning of a special collection known as the "Egyptian Hallel" (Psalms One Hundred Thirteen through One Hundred Eighteen). These six psalms were, and still are, the liturgical soundtrack of the Passover Seder. They celebrate God's deliverance of Israel from Egypt. In Jewish tradition, Psalms One Hundred Thirteen and One Hundred Fourteen are sung before the Passover meal, and Psalms One Hundred Fifteen through One Hundred Eighteen are sung after the meal. This means that on the night Jesus was betrayed, just before He went to the Garden of Gethsemane, He likely sang these very words with His disciples. So, as we read this psalm, we are not just reading poetry; we are stepping into the Upper Room. We are hearing the song that fortified the Messiah for the cross. The theme of this psalm is a magnificent paradox. It presents Yahweh as the God who is Infinitely High—seated above the nations and the heavens—yet who insists on stooping Infinitely Low to lift the poor from the dust and the barren woman from her grief. It is the theology of the Great Descent. So, let us lift our voices with the choir of history and begin the Hallel. The first segment is: The Call to the Servants: A Praise Without Borders. Psalm One Hundred Thirteen: verses one through three. Praise the Lord! Yes, give praise, O servants of the Lord. Praise the name of the Lord!  Blessed be the name of the Lord now and forever.  Everywhere—from east to west— praise the name of the Lord. The psalm opens with the signature shout of the Hallel: "Hallelujah!" ("Praise the Lord!"). But notice...

David has mercy on his enemies and takes them back, but there are still rebels among Israel. 2 Samuel 19:1-23; Psalm 143; Psalm 144; 2 Samuel 19:24-43; 2 Samuel 20:1-3, 4-26. #everydaychristians

Joab kills David's new general Amasa but does get the rebel, Sheba. David has to appease the Gibeonites for Saul's breaking of their covenant. David is tempted into taking a census which draws God's judgment. 2 Samuel 20:1-26; 2 Sam 21:1-14; 2 Sam 24:1-14; I Chronicles 21:1-12, Matthew 27:50-54 #everydaychristians

David set up an altar to make sacrifices to stop the plague of God's judgment. It happened to be where the Temple will be built. 2 Samuel 24:15-25; I Chronicles 21:14-30; I Chronicles 22:1-19; Psalm 30. The Temple by Robert Cornuke. #everydaychristians

David, by God's instruction, set up the rotation schedule for workers in the Temple, from the priests to the gatekeepers. 1 Chronicles 24:31, 1-19 1 Chron25:1-31; 1 Chron 26;1-19; 1 Chron 9:17-32. http://www.biblestudy.org/bibleref/meaning-of-numbers-in-bible/introduction.html  #everydaychristians

Welcome to Day 2797 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2797 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 112:1-10 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2797 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2797 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: Wisdom-Trek: The Mirror Image – The "A to Z" of the Godly Life. Today, we are stepping into the second half of a magnificent diptych. We are trekking through Psalm One Hundred Twelve, covering the entire poem, verses one through ten, in the New Living Translation. To understand the beauty of this psalm, we must remember where we stood yesterday. In our previous trek through Psalm One Hundred Eleven, we studied the "A to Z" of God. That psalm was an acrostic poem—meaning each line began with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet—celebrating the perfect works of Yahweh. It described Him as "gracious and compassionate," a Provider of food, a Keeper of covenants, and a God whose works are "truth and justice." Psalm One Hundred Eleven ended with a bridge: "Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true wisdom." Today, Psalm One Hundred Twelve picks up exactly where that verse left off. It is the "twin brother" of the previous psalm. It is also an acrostic poem, following the exact same alphabetical structure. But there is a twist. If Psalm One Hundred Eleven was the "A to Z" of God's Character, Psalm One Hundred Twelve is the "A to Z" of the Godly Person's Character. The psalmist is doing something profound here. He is using the same vocabulary, the same structure, and even the same phrases to describe the believer that he used to describe God. This is the biblical doctrine of the Imago Dei—the Image of God. We become what we worship. If we fear and delight in a God who is gracious, compassionate, and righteous, we will eventually become gracious, compassionate, and righteous ourselves. So, let us look into this mirror and see what a human life looks like when it is fully conformed to the image of the King. The first segment is: The Foundation: Fear and Delight. Psalm One Hundred Twelve: verse one. Praise the Lord! How joyful are those who fear the Lord and delight in obeying his commands. The psalm begins with the same shout as its twin: "Hallelujah!" ("Praise the Lord!"). But then it moves immediately to the human subject: "How joyful are those who fear the Lord..." (Literally, "Blessed is the man who fears Yahweh"). This connects the dots perfectly. Psalm One Hundred Eleven ended with the "fear of the Lord" as the beginning of wisdom. Psalm One Hundred Twelve begins with the "fear of the Lord" as the source of joy. But notice the balance: "...and delight in obeying his commands." This destroys the idea that "fearing God" means being terrified of Him. In the Ancient Israelite worldview, fear and delight are not opposites; they are partners. "Fear" is the recognition of God's ultimate authority

Fire up your singularity drive, maman! It's time for the tiny fireflies because there are Furies who hate being Furies and they're in pain all the time, maman. It's rough! Plus there are twists and stuff being pulled out of necks and some rough revelations about sons and the sacrifices people make along the way! Powerful episode, maman!

Before this episode gets too regrettable—even villainous—The Guys bring news from the world of geekdom. Art joins Jay's travel planning service and suggests a Disney-Star Trek (you read that right: Trek, not Wars) mashup show somewhere in Seattle. Robbie asks Siri about her underlying software and, after a virtual slap, she confesses that she's now Googling it. Jay reveals the source of the face behind Yoda and discovers a makeup artist who might just have the highest Geek Index yet. But go away, you should not. After a brief respite, Jay is back with a Regrettable Roundup of Supervillains you've probably never heard of and will likely soon forget: Bloor, Brickbat, and Colossus. Oh my. Watch out for sketchy want ads, flying gaseous bricks, and Plantaliens.

Episode 6 of Starfleet Academy delivers one of the most tonally distinct installments of the season, shifting from collegiate character drama into full psychological thriller and survival horror. The podcast opens with immediate high energy, framing the episode as a major turning point — one that blends classic Trek moral dilemmas with modern cinematic tension. The panel quickly agrees: this is the episode where the show proves it can operate at franchise stakes. The early discussion centers on the controversial opening sequence involving Caleb and Tarima. While romantic development has been building, the telepathic boundary violation sparks debate about trust, consent, and Betazoid psychology. The hosts explore how this tension isn't just interpersonal drama — it foreshadows the emotional decisions both characters must make under life-or-death pressure later in the episode. Once the cadets board the derelict USS Miyazaki, the tone pivots hard into horror. The abandoned post-Burn experimental vessel becomes a graveyard setting — dark corridors, failing systems, and an ever-present sense of dread. The introduction of the Furies raises the stakes immediately. Their cannibalistic nature, hybrid physiology, and predatory tactics create a new kind of enemy — less political, more primal — evoking comparisons to the Vidiians or even Reavers in tone. The hostage scenario and airlock sequence form the episode's action centerpiece. The cadets' inexperience shows early, but they evolve rapidly under pressure. A key moment highlighted in the podcast is the sacrifice of their commanding officer, which forces the cadets to step into leadership roles prematurely. This trial-by-fire dynamic reinforces the show's core theme: Starfleet officers aren't born — they're forged in crisis. Sam's bridge sequence becomes the emotional and technological high point. Tasked with restoring fragmented ship systems, she demonstrates not just computational superiority but personal agency. The panel reads this as a pivotal evolution in her arc — choosing to risk herself for organics, further complicating her loyalty to her creators. Her eventual injury adds philosophical weight: even artificial life can bear scars of trust. The episode closes with wider implications for the season. Nus Braka's looming presence, the emergence of the Furies, and the cadets' accelerated growth all point toward a larger coordinated threat. The hosts speculate that Episode 6 may represent the “Empire Strikes Back” tonal shift of the season — where youthful optimism gives way to the harsh realities of command, sacrifice, and war.   00:01 – Cold open, hype reactions, and spoiler warning for Episode 6 03:20 – Panel introductions and first impressions of the episode 06:10 – Opening romance scene and early character tension 09:05 – Caleb & Tarima relationship analysis and emotional stakes 12:00 – Betazoid abilities and telepathic boundary debate 15:10 – Away mission briefing and training exercise setup 18:20 – Boarding the USS Miyazaki and mission objectives 21:30 – Post-Burn warp lore and ship disaster backstory 24:40 – First appearance of the Furies and threat assessment 27:50 – Horror tone shift and haunted-ship atmosphere 31:00 – Airlock standoff and hand-to-hand combat breakout 34:15 – Tactical coordination and cadet crisis response 37:30 – Leadership contrast: War College vs Academy cadets 40:45 – Lieutenant Commander sacrifice and protocol analysis 44:00 – Bridge lockdown and survival strategy planning 47:10 – Sam begins computer restoration under pressure 50:20 – “1200 files” moment and Sam's hero sequence 53:40 – Comic lore tie-in and Miyazaki historical context 56:50 – Ship systems reboot and turning the tide 01:00:00 – Cadets regain control and tactical regroup 01:04:10 – Genesis & Darum bridge command dynamics 01:08:25 – Leadership growth and teamwork evolution 01:12:40 – Athena ship response and search coordination 01:16:55 – Furry threat escalation and hostage stakes 01:21:05 – Rescue strategy and multi-team execution 01:25:20 – Final confrontation buildup 01:29:35 – Climactic battle and survival resolution 01:33:50 – Nus Braka implications and villain framing 01:37:40 – Sam's injuries and EMH medical response 01:41:10 – Character fallout and emotional aftermath 01:44:00 – Season arc theories and “big bad” speculation 01:46:00 – Final ratings, closing thoughts, and sign-off

Theology and evangelism must be grounded in truth. Scripture calls us to worship God with all our heart, soul, and mind. When Christians lean on faulty reasoning, they twist the Word of God and open the door to error. Logical fallacies are not harmless; they often lead to heresy, false conversions, and a compromised witness. The gospel is too precious to be diluted by sloppy thinking. Here are ten common logical fallacies that regularly poison Christian teaching and outreach, along with why they are so dangerous. 1. Appeal to Emotion God created us with emotions, and they can be powerful tools in responding to His truth. But when emotions become the foundation of a theological claim or evangelistic appeal, the message becomes distorted. Frightening people with hellfire or guilt-tripping them into “saying a prayer” is not preaching the gospel. It is manipulating feelings. This may produce outward responses, but it rarely produces genuine repentance. The Holy Spirit uses the truth of the gospel to convict and transform, not emotional spectacle. 2. Straw Man We are called to represent the truth faithfully, and that includes how we handle opposing views. Creating a caricature of someone else's beliefs just to knock it down is not discernment; it is dishonesty. Saying, “Calvinists believe God delights in sending people to hell,” or “Arminians think they save themselves,” misrepresents those views and violates the command to bear true witness. If we cannot refute what someone actually believes, we have no business opposing it at all. 3. Slippery Slope There is a difference between wise caution and irrational fear. When someone says, “If we allow this doctrinal disagreement, we'll abandon the gospel next,” or “If women teach children, we'll soon have drag queens in the pulpit,” they are not contending for the faith. They are avoiding honest discussion. Scripture warns against compromise, but it also warns against making false accusations. We must examine each issue on its own merit, not use fear tactics to shut down thought. 4. Circular Reasoning The Bible is self-authenticating, but it should not be defended with circular logic. Saying, “The Bible is true because it says it is,” may sound spiritual, but it avoids meaningful engagement with the reliability of God's Word. Scripture invites examination. God has confirmed His Word through history,...

The final season of "Discovery" starts with a bang in "Red Directive"! Everyone's least favorite "Trek" character is here to resurrect one of TNG's dumbest plots when Kovich tasks Burnham with collecting a journal that belonged to an extra from "The Chase"! But the might of Starfleet is apparently no match for a couple of kids with a spaceship, somehow. Also this week: Temu Data, cherries and Green Lanterns, and TOS is in LOOOOOOOOOOVE!

This week's Full Spectrum Cycling covers: unity rides honoring Alex Pretti, two big Milwaukee-area bike events (Bike Bazaar and Bay View Bike Swap), a Trek/Electra e-bike recall, a quick first look at Handup's ColdEST gloves, and a shoreline access/trespass update that matters if you ride or walk Lake Michigan beaches. Plus: Strava leaderboard cheating cleanup, Sunn O))) tour dates, and Tom Morello coming to The Rave. https://youtu.be/xgzhmcnqTlk The Milwaukee Minute (or 5) Pretti Rides - A lot of the bike world showed up in solidarity for Alex Pretti, with unity rides happening across dozens of cities and multiple countries.

Welcome to Day 2795 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2795 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 111:1-10 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2795 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand seven hundred ninety-three 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 A to Z of Wonder – Studying the Works of the Faithful God Today, we step off the battlefield of Psalm One Hundred Ten and walk into the study hall of the saints. We are beginning our exploration of Psalm One Hundred Eleven, covering the entire poem, verses one through ten, in the New Living Translation. In our previous trek through Psalm One Hundred Ten, we stood in the Divine Council. We saw the Messiah—the Priest-King after the order of Melchizedek—seated at the right hand of Yahweh. We witnessed the promise that He would crush the head of the serpent and make His enemies a footstool. It was a psalm of cosmic warfare, high theology, and future judgment. It was the view from the Throne. Psalm One Hundred Eleven shifts the perspective from the Throne to the Congregation. If Psalm One Hundred Ten was about the King's power, Psalm One Hundred Eleven is about the People's praise. It is a response to the victory. It is a quiet, organized, and deeply thoughtful meditation on what God has done. In the original Hebrew, this psalm is an acrostic poem. Each line begins with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet—Aleph, Bet, Gimel, and so on. It is an "A to Z" of praise. The psalmist is telling us that God's works are so complete, so perfect, and so orderly that they cover the entire alphabet of existence. Nothing is missing. This psalm invites us to become students. It tells us that the works of God are not just to be glanced at; they are to be "studied." So, let us open our textbooks of grace and begin our study of the works of the Lord. The first segment is: The Council of the Upright: The Context of Praise. Psalm One Hundred Eleven: verse one. Praise the Lord! I will thank the Lord with all my heart as I meet with his godly people. The psalm begins with the shout: "Hallelujah!" ("Praise the Lord!"). But immediately, the psalmist moves from the shout to the heart. "I will thank the Lord with all my heart..." This is wholehearted integration. There is no fragmentation here. His intellect, his emotions, and his will are all aligned in gratitude. And notice the location: "...as I meet with his godly people." The Hebrew phrase here is fascinating: "In the council (sod) of the upright and in the assembly." We have talked often about the Divine Council—the assembly of spiritual beings in heaven. Here, the psalmist uses that same terminology to describe the gathering of believers on earth. The church, the synagogue, the gathering of the saints—this is the earthly counterpart to the heavenly council. Just as the angels gather around the throne to discuss God's decrees, the...

In this episode, Kevin and Scott bring their long 5 year runof regularly scheduled episodes to a close.In this last episode featuring both Kevin and Scott together, they speculate on the history of the Church. Will there be more Catholics or less? What kinds of threats will the Church face? And who will be pope in the year 2100?They discuss these, and other questions, in this episode.As a note, going forward, Catholic History Trek will continue to create episodes, but they will be more sporadic.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined once again by outdoor filmmaker and long-distance backpacker, Lauren "Longway" Roerick.  Lauren shares the highs and lows of a massive year of international backpacking and adventure, including dragging her "indoor cat" brother along on the 88 Temple Pilgrimage in Japan and her not in such great shape dad on the Camino del Norte in Spain, her less than stellar experience on the Via Dinarica and how one especially unfortunate stretch in Montenegro ultimately forced her off trail, quickly rinsing the palette with some gorgeous hiking on the Transcaucasian Trail in Georgia, and her experience hiking the Santa Fe to Taos Trail as part of our "get paid to thru-hike" sponsorship. We also learn more about Lauren's background, including a chaotic international divorce, learning calculus in Chinese, and how she once sang opera although refuses to do so for you- we forgive her and this is a fun, inspirational chat regardless. We wrap the show with a hidden gem thru-hike in New York, a Triple Crown of Pop (not SODA!), and what trail traditions should be celebrated on spring equinox.

Welcome to Day 2793 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2793 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 110:1-7 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2793 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand seven hundred ninety-three 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 Priest-King of the Cosmos – The Coronation of the Ultimate Human. Today, we arrive at what might be the most significant mountain peak in the entire Old Testament. We are standing at the base of Psalm One Hundred Ten, and we will be trekking through the entire psalm, verses one through seven, in the New Living Translation. In our previous journey through Psalm One Hundred Nine, we stood in a courtroom. We saw David as a defendant, surrounded by accusers. We saw him destitute, weak, and pleading for help. That psalm ended with a vision of God standing at the "right hand" of the poor to save him. But today, the scene shifts dramatically. The courtroom is gone. The weakness is gone. Psalm One Hundred Ten opens the door to the Throne Room of the Universe. We are no longer looking at a needy human King David; we are looking at a Divine figure who is invited to sit at the right hand of Yahweh Himself. This short psalm—only seven verses long—is the most frequently quoted Old Testament chapter in the New Testament. Jesus quoted it to stump the Pharisees. Peter quoted it on the Day of Pentecost. The author of Hebrews built his entire theology of the priesthood around it. Why? Because this psalm unveils the mystery of the Messiah. It reveals a figure who is both a conquering King and an eternal Priest—a combination that was legally impossible under the Law of Moses. It gives us a glimpse into the Divine Council, where the Father invites the Son to rule over the chaos of the nations. So, take off your sandals, for we are standing on holy ground. Let us listen to the conversation between the Father and the Son. The first segment is: The Oracle of the Throne: The Two Powers in Heaven. Psalm One Hundred Ten: verse one. The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit in the place of honor at my right hand until I humble your enemies, making them a footstool under your feet." The psalm begins with an explosion of theological depth. "The Lord said to my Lord..." In the Hebrew text, this reads: "The oracle of Yahweh to my Adonai." David, the King of Israel, is writing this. He is the highest human authority in the land. Yet, he is eavesdropping on a conversation in the heavenly realm. He hears Yahweh (God the Father) speaking to someone David calls "my Lord" (Adoni). Who could possibly be David's Lord? David had no human superior. This is the question Jesus asked the Pharisees in Matthew Twenty-two. If the Messiah is merely David's son (a human descendant), why does David call Him "Lord"? The answer lies in the Divine Council worldview. David is seeing a figure who is...

The truth is out there, and now it's organized. Logic is a fickle thing, especially when everyone seems to have their own version of it. Put on your tinfoil hat and adjust your antenna, because things are about to get uncomfortably organized. Finding Logic within The Arcana Unity In this episode, Jess Krazier takes a stab at nighttime radio with "Is That Right?". His first guest is a man who is both secretive and terrible at hiding his identity. It seems this shadowy figure has developed a digital solution to the world's most baffling contradictions. The Conspiracy Reconciliation Algorithmic Processor is a revolutionary program designed to smooth over all those stubborn wrinkles. Just feed in the problem and it turns a mountain of clashing theories into one smooth, dramatic narrative. But can it handle the problems Jess's callers give it?  "The Arcana Unity" is waiting for those brave enough to stop asking "why" and start asking "how does this all fit together?" The phone lines are open and the truth is waiting. Listen to the latest episode now and decide for yourself what's real.

Day 2792 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 109:26-31 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2792 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand seven hundred ninety-two 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. Wisdom-Trek: The Verdict of Love – Standing at the Right Hand of the Poor. Today, we reach the conclusion of our journey through the valley of betrayal, Psalm One Hundred Nine. We are trekking through the final stanza, verses twenty-six through thirty-one, in the New Living Translation. In our previous trek, we walked through the darkest corridors of this psalm. We heard David's agonizing cry for justice against the enemy who had repaid his love with hatred. We witnessed the "Boomerang of Justice," where David prayed for the very curses his enemy loved to return upon his own head—for his name to be blotted out and his prayers to be counted as sin. We saw David broken, fasting, fading like a shadow, and mocked by the public. It was a scene of utter devastation. But as we arrive at these final six verses, the atmosphere in the courtroom shifts. David has made his case. He has laid out the evidence of his enemy's cruelty and his own innocence. Now, he turns his face fully toward the Judge. In this closing prayer, we move from the Curse to the Confidence. We see the Accuser—the "Satan" at the enemy's right hand—replaced by a greater Advocate. We see David move from the shame of being a byword to the joy of public praise. And we discover that the ultimate answer to slander is not revenge, but Rescue. So, let us stand with David as the verdict is read. Segment one is: The Final Appeal: Save Me by Your Hesed. Psalm One Hundred Nine: verse twenty-six. Help me, O Lord my God! Save me because of your unfailing love. After the torrent of curses and the description of his own misery, David distills his entire request into one simple, desperate cry: "Help me, O Lord my God!" The word "Help" (ozreni) implies active assistance. He is asking God to step into the fray. But notice the basis of his appeal: "Save me because of your unfailing love." Here is our covenant word again: Hesed. This is crucial. David does not say, "Save me because I am innocent," even though he is. He does not say, "Save me because my enemy is wicked," even though he is. He says, "Save me because of Your character." David anchors his salvation in the loyal love of Yahweh. Even when human love is repaid with hatred (verse five), God's love remains constant. This is the bedrock of all true prayer. When we have nothing else to offer—when we are "skin and bones" (verse 24)—we can always appeal to God's nature. "Lord, be who You are. You are the God of Hesed; therefore, save me." The second segment is: The Theology of Vindication: Let Them Know It Was You. Psalm One Hundred Nine: verse twenty-seven. Let them...
