Welcome to Day 2792 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. 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...

Welcome to Day 2791 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – Arianism: The Heresy That Shook an Empire and Hastened Rome's Fall Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2791 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps!   I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2791 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. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website   theologyinfive.com.   Today's lesson is titled  Arianism: The Heresy That Shook an Empire and Hastened Rome's Fall. Arianism was more than a theological dispute; it became a force that rattled the foundations of the Roman Empire. Originating with the Alexandrian priest Arius (AD 250–336), the doctrine asserted that the Son, Jesus Christ, was a created being and therefore not co-eternal with the Father. This challenged the traditional Christian understanding of Jesus' divinity and ignited a controversy that tore through the Church and empire alike. By the time of Constantine in the early 4th century, Christianity had been legalized and heavily promoted, though not yet made the official religion of Rome. Constantine's patronage brought Christianity into the center of imperial life, and his calling of the Council of Nicaea in 325 demonstrated just how closely church and empire were becoming linked. Yet the settlement of Nicaea did not resolve the issue. The Arian controversy lingered, splitting bishops, congregations, and emperors. What began as a debate over the Trinity soon spiraled into a crisis that divided the empire at its core. As Arianism spread, particularly among the Germanic tribes who would later overrun the Western Empire, the theological rift turned into a political fault line. In this way, a doctrinal battle over Christ's divinity became bound up with the very fate of Rome itself. The first segment is: Why Arianism Was Declared a Heresy The Church declared Arianism a heresy at the First Council of Nicaea in AD 325. The fundamental issue revolved around the nature and divinity of Jesus Christ. While Arius believed Jesus was a creation—albeit the highest of all creations—the Church upheld that Jesus was uncreated, co-eternal, and co-equal with the Father. Scripture played a decisive role in the dispute. John 1:1 states, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” This verse affirms the divinity of Jesus, describing Him as the Word who both existed at the beginning and was God Himself. Colossians 1:16 likewise insists on Christ's active role in creation: “For by him [Jesus] all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.” Such passages undermine the Arian claim that Jesus Himself was a creation. The second segment is: Arianism and the Fall of Rome...

For decades, scholars have debated where the Book of Mormon took place. Could it be on the Baja Peninsula? Or in the narrow necks of Central America, or the heartland of the United States? But what if the internal map of the text—where ‘east’ is truly east and seeds from Jerusalem flourish—points to a location largely ignored by archaeologists? In this comprehensive interview, David Rosenvall details how a simple question from his father, a university geography professor, led to a decade of research identifying the Baja Peninsula as the most plausible setting for Lehi's journey. Rosenvall challenges the dominant theories by distinguishing between ‘human geography’—culture that moves with people—and ‘physical geography,’ the immovable features of land, climate, and mineral deposits that he claims uniquely match the Baja landscape. https://youtu.be/o9vbr0j4o0U Check out our other conversations on DNA & Book of Mormon: https://gospeltangents.com/lds_theology/dna-book-of-mormon/ 0:00 Hofmann Explosion 2:55 Background 5:31 BAJA 7:46 Evaluating Meso 19:27 2 Cumorah Theory 24:12 Rusty Swords 30:49 DNA & Book of Mormon 47:20 Strengths of Baja Baja Hypothesis: An Engineering Approach to Scripture In this 2017 series, host Rick Bennett interviews David Rosenvall, the technologist responsible for creating the foundational scriptures.lds.org. Collaborating with his father, a university geography professor, Rosenvall presents a controversial theory that locates the Book of Mormon narrative on the Baja Peninsula. Unlike traditional models based on archaeological artifacts (“human geography”), Rosenvall's approach utilizes an engineering methodology, modeling the text's 33,000 geographical statements against the immovable features of the physical world. Part 1: The Climate Conundrum A single question was posed by David Rosenvall's father: Where would seeds from Jerusalem actually grow? As a geographer, his father noted that the text claims seeds brought from Jerusalem “grew exceedingly” in the Promised Land. • The Climate Argument: Seeds are climate-specific. Jerusalem seeds require a Mediterranean climate (wet winters, dry summers) to flourish, rather than the tropical climate of Mesoamerica or the cold winters of New York. This climatological requirement pointed them directly to the Baja California peninsula. • The Initial Insight: David admits that years prior, while serving as a missionary in Sweden, he had looked at a map and intuitively felt the geography fit Baja, a thought he shelved until his father's research confirmed it decades later. Baja vs. Mesoamerica (Physical vs. Cultural Geography) Rosenvall critiques the dominant Mesoamerican theory (popularized by John L. Sorenson) by distinguishing between human geography (culture, buildings, artifacts) and physical geography (mountains, rivers, coastlines). • Culture Moves, Land Does Not: Rosenvall argues that Mesoamerican theorists have successfully identified cultural similarities (human geography) but struggle with physical geography, often having to rotate maps to make “north” fit “east.” He posits that Nephite culture likely migrated to Mesoamerica after the destruction of the Nephite nation, explaining the cultural remnants found there today. • The Compass Problem: The Baja model accepts the text literally—north is north and east is east—without requiring a directional shift, whereas other models must reconcile the “narrow neck” running east-west rather than north-south. Part 3: Rusted Swords, Elephants, and the Two Cumorahs Rosenvall addresses specific scientific and historical challenges to the Book of Mormon, arguing that Baja solves problems that other theories cannot. • Evidence of Steel: While Mesoamerican theories rely on obsidian (which does not rust), the Book of Mormon describes swords that “cankered with rust.” Rosenvall notes that Baja museums display ancient, rusted metal swords and knives found in local burials, and the peninsula contains the necessary raw deposits of iron, gold, and silver. • The Animals: Addressing the criticism regarding elephants and horses, Rosenvall points to the La Brea Tar Pits (just north of Baja). He argues these pits contain every animal mentioned in the Book of Mormon, including elephants and camels, proving their biological plausibility in the region. • Trek to New York: Rosenvall proposes a “Two Hill” theory. The final battles occurred at a Hill Cumorah in Baja. Moroni then spent 36 years traveling northward to bury the plates in New York (the “hill north of Manchester”). Rosenvall calculates that Moroni would only have to walk the distance from Provo to Ogden once a year to make the journey, possibly dedicating the temple site in Manti, Utah, along the way. Part 4: Solving the DNA Problem (The Asian Connection) Rosenvall offers a unique solution to the lack of Middle Eastern DNA in Native American populations by focusing on the Book of Ether. • The Jaredite Route: He theorizes that the Jaredites traveled from the Tower of Babel through China, launching vessels from the eastern seaboard of Asia. Ocean currents would naturally carry them to the North American west coast in roughly 345 days, matching the text's timeline. • Asian Ancestry: Because the Jaredites (and potentially others from Asia) arrived thousands of years before Lehi and dispersed across the continent, the dominant DNA profile of the Americas is Asian. The Lehite colony was a small, isolated group whose genetic signature was likely diluted or lost over centuries of intermixing. Part 5: The “Narrow Neck” and Isolation Strongest geographical arguments for the Baja Peninsula: isolation and line-of-sight. • A Land Apart: The text frequently describes the Nephites as being isolated from other civilizations. Baja is naturally isolated by the Sea of Cortez, distinct from the mainland where other cultures (like the Jaredite descendants) might have been spreading. • Visualizing the Neck: Rosenvall identifies a specific location in Baja where high mountains allow a person to see the ocean on both sides—a physical reality that matches the “narrow neck” and “narrow strip” descriptions in the scripture. • Chaparral Terrain: He argues the “wilderness” described in the text matches the Baja “chaparral” (dense, thorny brush) where it is difficult to follow tracks, rather than a jungle environment. Rosenvall concludes by directing listeners to his website, achoiceland.com, emphasizing that while geography is fascinating, the spiritual intent of the book remains paramount.

Welcome to Day 2790 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2790 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 109:6-25 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2790 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2790 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 Boomerang of Justice – Wearing Curses Like a Cloak. Today, we are walking into the storm. We are continuing our journey through Psalm One Hundred Nine, and we are covering the most difficult and controversial section of the entire book: verses six through twenty-five, in the New Living Translation. In our previous trek, we stood with David in the opening five verses. We saw him as a man betrayed. He said, "I love them, but they try to destroy me." He told us that in return for his friendship, they acted as his "accusers"—literally, they acted as "satans" or adversaries against him. They repaid evil for good and hatred for love. David's response in that first section was to become "prayer"—to retreat entirely into God. But today, we see what he prayed. And frankly, it is terrifying. Verses six through twenty are often called the "Imprecatory Psalms"—the cursing psalms. David unleashes a torrent of judgment upon his enemy that leaves no stone unturned. He prays for his enemy's death, the destruction of his family, the loss of his job, and the erasure of his name from history. Many people struggle with these verses. They ask, "How can a man after God's own heart pray this way? Isn't this un-Christian?" To understand this, we must put on our Ancient Israelite worldview lenses. This is not personal revenge; this is an appeal to Retributive Justice. This is the law of the boomerang. David is asking God to let the punishment fit the crime exactly. The enemy wanted to destroy David's life and legacy without cause; David is asking the Divine Judge to let that destruction fall back on the enemy's own head. It is a passionate plea for the moral order of the universe to be upheld. So, brace yourselves. We are about to witness the severity of God's justice. The first Segment is: The Appointment of the Accuser. Psalm One Hundred Nine: verses six through seven. They say, "Get an evil person to turn against him. Send an accuser to bring him to trial.  When his case comes up for judgment, let him be pronounced guilty. Count his prayers as sins." Now, there is a debate among scholars here. Some translations, and the NLT implies this with "They say," suggest that these verses are actually the enemies' curses against David. However, the Hebrew text is ambiguous, and historically, most interpreters view this as David speaking against his enemy, asking God to subject the enemy to the very legal warfare he used against David. We will proceed with that understanding, as it fits the flow of the rest of the psalm. David prays: "Get an evil person to turn against him. Send an accuser to bring him to trial."...

Welcome to Day 2788 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2788 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 109:1-5 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2788 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand seven hundred eighty-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 tile for today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Courtroom of Lies – When Love is Repaid with Hatred Today, we are stepping off the mountain peak of victory and descending into the deepest, darkest valley of the human experience. We are beginning our journey through Psalm One Hundred Nine, and today we will navigate the opening complaint, verses one through five, in the New Living Translation. To understand the emotional whiplash of the Psalter, we have to remember where we just were. In our previous trek through Psalm One Hundred Eight, we stood with King David on the mountaintop. He was the confident Warrior Poet. He woke the dawn with his song. He looked at the map of the nations and declared, "With God's help we will do mighty things, for he will trample down our foes." It was a psalm of absolute certainty, military strength, and divine conquest. We left feeling invincible. But today, the music changes. The triumphant horns of Psalm One Hundred Eight fade away, replaced by the dissonant, scratching sound of a lawsuit. Psalm One Hundred Nine is famous—or perhaps infamous—as the most intense of the "imprecatory" or cursing psalms. Later in this psalm, David will unleash a torrent of curses against his enemy that makes many modern readers cringe. But before we get to the curses, we must understand the pain that birthed them. We must sit in the defendant's chair. In these opening five verses, David is not the General commanding an army; he is a man alone in a courtroom, surrounded by a mob of liars. He has been stripped of his reputation, betrayed by those he loved, and—most terrifying of all—he is facing the silence of God. This is a psalm for anyone who has ever been slandered. It is for anyone who has loved someone deeply, only to have that love thrown back in their face as hatred. It is the raw, unedited cry of a heart that has been stabbed in the back. So, let us enter the courtroom and hear the plea of the innocent. The first segment is: The Silence of the Judge: The Crisis of Communication. Psalm One Hundred Nine: verse one. O God, whom I praise, don't stand silent and aloof The psalm opens with a desperate appeal to the only One who matters. "O God, whom I praise..." Literally, "O God of my praise." This is a statement of history and identity. David is saying, "Lord, You are the subject of all my songs. I have spent my life building a throne of praise for You. I have defined myself by Your glory." It is an appeal to relationship. He is reminding God, "We are friends. I am Your worshiper." But this intimacy makes the current situation unbearable: "...don't stand silent and aloof." The Hebrew simply says, "Do not be silent." In a legal context—and this psalm is full of legal imagery—the silence of...

Most riders spend their first year in the Elite ranks just trying to find their feet, but Riley Amos was determined to be different. He had good reason for it. Not only did he have a dominant final season as a U23 in 2024, but he also finished 7th at the Paris Olympics, the highest an American male has ever finished in the Olympic XC race. Looking back on his mindset coming into 2025, though, he admits that he might have pushed himself a little too hard. Riley sat down with Payson in Girona this week to talk about how overtraining and back pain led to a somewhat disappointing 2025 and how observing fellow riders like Nino Schurter and Chris Blevins has changed his entire approach this year. Then, they get nerdy about product testing, specifically Riley's relationship with Trek product development grandmaster Travis Brown and his years-long obsession with suspension. Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveen Email: howdy@withpace.cc

This week on the Radio Labyrinth Podcast, we kick things off with a special guest—comedian, actor, writer, and director Steve Byrne, who joins us ahead of his Atlanta shows at Punchline Comedy Club.Steve talks about the most memorable (and chaotic) shows he's played in Atlanta, what's next for him behind the camera, and whether he's still plotting the eventual demise of Tony Scar from Kill Tony. We also give love to his films Always Amazing and The Opening Act, and dig into what draws him to telling stories beyond the stand-up stage.After that, we check in on life post S'nope 2026—surviving days trapped inside with a toddler, mild generator-related injuries, and watching Superman through the very loud, very concerned commentary of a small child (“Is Super Dog OK??”). We also touch on what we are and definitely are not watching right now, including thoughts on A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and a firm pass on becoming Trek-olytes.Cold weather, comedy road stories, filmmaking, and just enough chaos—another week deep inside the Labyrinth.

Today on Word Balloon, I'm joined by two writers who know their way around both classic deduction and deep-cut science fiction as we talk about the Kickstarter for their new novel, Sherlock Holmes: The Southwark Stigmata. This is a project that leans hard into atmosphere, mystery, and character, re-examining Holmes through a darker, more psychologically charged lens, and the Kickstarter is giving readers a chance not just to support the book, but to be part of its launch in a meaningful way.My guests are Michael Jan Friedman and Christopher Abbott. Mike brings decades of storytelling experience and an encyclopedic command of Star Trek, shaped by his many Trek novels and his work on Star Trek: Voyager. Chris is equally steeped in Trek lore, having written thoughtful Star Trek essays for Film Threat, and together they share a genuine love for canon, continuity, and bold reinterpretation. We dig into the origins of The Southwark Stigmata, how their collaboration came together, and why Sherlock Holmes still has new stories worth telling today.

Welcome to Day 2787 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2787 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 108:10-13 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2787 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand seven hundred eighty-seven 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 Divine Stomp – Storming the Gates of the Impossible.   Today, we arrive at the grand finale of our journey through Psalm One Hundred Eight. We are trekking through the final stanza, verses ten through thirteen, in the New Living Translation. In our previous trek, we stood in the War Room of Heaven. We heard the Divine Oracle in verses six through nine, where Yahweh looked at the map of the Middle East and claimed His territory. We heard Him declare, "Gilead is mine... Manasseh is mine... Moab is my washbasin... I will wipe my feet on Edom." It was a breathtaking assertion of ownership. We saw God claiming the hostile nations as His servants—His washpots and His shoe-racks. It was a moment of high theology and divine confidence. But today, the scene shifts from the map on the wall to the mud on the ground. In Psalm One Hundred Eight, verses ten through thirteen, King David takes that divine promise and tries to walk it out in the real world. And he immediately hits a wall—literally. He finds himself standing outside the "fortified city" of Edom. The map says Edom belongs to God. But the reality says Edom is locked up tight behind impregnable walls. This is where the rubber meets the road in our spiritual lives. It is one thing to sing about victory in the sanctuary; it is another thing to secure it on the battlefield. It is one thing to believe God owns the problem; it is another to see Him conquer it. In these final four verses, we will see the transition from Promise to Petition, and finally to Participation. We will learn that the only way to breach the fortified city is to abandon human strategies and rely on the Divine Warrior to do the trampling. So, let us draw our swords one last time and march toward the gate. The first segment is: The Crisis of Geography: The Impregnable City. Psalm One Hundred Eight: verse ten. Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will bring me to Edom? The psalm moves from God's voice back to David's voice. And David has a logistical problem. God just said in verse nine: "I will wipe my feet on Edom."   David responds: "Okay, Lord. But who is going to get me inside?" "Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will bring me to Edom?" To understand the weight of this question, we have to look at the geography. The ancient capital of Edom was Bozrah, and later Petra (Sela). Edom was legendary for its natural defenses. It was carved into the red sandstone cliffs. The only way in was through a narrow canyon called the Siq. It was a natural fortress that armies broke themselves against for centuries. It was the "Fortified City" (Ir Mibzar) par excellence. When David

Karim Diané The SyFy Sistas sit down with Karim Diané, who plays Jay-Den Kraag, a Klingon cadet on Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. We talk about his role in the episode "Vox in Excelso", building a Klingon character for a new generation of Trek, and what it means to step into such an iconic species. A thoughtful, fun conversation about character, culture, and where Star Trek is headed next.

Welcome to Day 2786 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – The Unintended Consequences of Replacing Yahweh with “God” Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2786 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps!   I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2786 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. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website   theologyinfive.com.   Today's lesson is titled The Unintended Consequences of Replacing Yahweh with “God”. In the pages of Scripture, the God of Israel reveals Himself by name, Yahweh, a name that marks His identity, His covenant, and His absolute uniqueness among all other spiritual beings. Yet somewhere in the history of Jewish and Christian tradition, this name was quietly replaced. Where once God was named, now He is merely titled. Yahweh became “the LORD.” Eventually, even “the LORD” gave way to “God,” a generic and universal term that can apply to almost any religious conception of the divine. What began as an effort to show reverence or accommodate translation has produced serious theological consequences. The loss of God's name has led to a distorted view of monotheism, erased key distinctions between Yahweh and other spiritual beings, and enabled poor apologetic compromises, such as the claim that “Allah is just the Arabic word for God.” It has also obscured the meaning of the First Commandment and weakened the Church's understanding of its own covenant relationship. This article traces how we got here and why recovering the name Yahweh is essential to restoring biblical clarity. The First Segment is: From Name to Title: How Yahweh Was Replaced. The divine name Yahweh (יהוה), also called the Tetragrammaton, appears over 6,800 times in the Hebrew Bible. In Exodus 3:15, God declares, “This is my name forever, and this is how I am to be remembered in every generation.” Yet despite this, a tradition developed during the Second Temple Period in which Jews refrained from pronouncing the divine name aloud. Instead, they substituted it with Adonai (“Lord”) during public readings. This practice, rooted in caution and reverence, carried over into Greek and Latin translations of the Bible. The Septuagint rendered Yahweh as Kyrios (“Lord”), and the Latin Vulgate followed suit with Dominus. English Bibles later preserved this substitution, using the stylized “LORD” in small caps, often without explaining to readers that a name was being replaced. As Christianity spread into the Gentile world, the name Yahweh virtually disappeared from common use. The God of the Bible came to be referred to simply as “God,” a word that is not a name at all, but a title. And not a unique title either, “God” can refer to any number of deities across religious systems or even to philosophical abstractions. In trying to show reverence or universality, the Church began to erase the very name by which the true God had distinguished Himself. The second segment is: The Problem with “God”: A Category, Not a Character This shift might seem minor, but it represents a profound theological error. In Hebrew, the word elohim is used to...

You might know Steve from his very popular YouTube channel at youtube.com/steveshives. Steve covers both Star Trek commentary and political commentary – kinda makes sense that we'd eventually connect, me being the co-host of Trek Politics. As we discussed today, Steve is an alpha liberal and he doesn't shy away from fully owning his liberalism. So today, we started off with a little bit about the politics of Star Trek and what Stephen Miller had to say about the new Trek series Starfleet Academy, then we segued into the existential crisis for democracy and even managed to talk some Civil War by the end. So stick around. If you're not already, I think you'll be a Steve Shives fan after today. Meantime, make sure to support this podcast at patreon.com/bobcescashow.

Welcome to Day 2785 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2785 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 108:6-9 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2785 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand seven hundred eighty-five 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 Divine Cartography – God Claims His Geography. Today, we are back on the trail, continuing our exploration of the "Warrior Poet's Remix," Psalm One Hundred Eight. We are trekking through the middle section, verses six through nine, in the New Living Translation. In our previous trek through the first five verses of this psalm, we heard the sound of a "fixed heart." We watched King David wake the dawn with his lyre and declare that God's love is higher than the heavens. We saw him take an old song of lament (from Psalm Fifty-seven) and remix it into a new anthem of confidence. He ended that section with a cosmic prayer: "Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens. May your glory shine over all the earth." Today, the scene shifts from the cosmic to the concrete. David moves from singing about the stars to looking at a map. He moves from the "heavens" to the dirt and rock of the Middle East. In verses six through nine, we hear God Himself speak. It is a divine oracle spoken from the Holy Sanctuary. In this oracle, Yahweh acts like a victorious General standing over a map of the ancient Near East. He points to specific territories—Shechem, Succoth, Gilead, Moab, Edom, Philistia—and claims them as His own. He essentially says, "This belongs to Me. And this belongs to Me. And that over there? That is just My washbasin." This is a powerful assertion of Divine Ownership. In the Ancient Israelite worldview, where nations were believed to be owned by their respective gods (Chemosh for Moab, Milcom for Ammon), Yahweh is declaring that He is the Landlord of everything. He is redrawing the borders and reclaiming the inheritance for His people. So, let us stand in the war room and listen to the strategy of the King. The first segment is: The Prayer for Rescue: The Right Hand of Power. Psalm One Hundred Eight: verse six. Now rescue your beloved people. Answer and save us by your power. Before the oracle begins, David offers a short, sharp prayer. This acts as the bridge between the praise of the first five verses and the prophecy that follows. "Now rescue your beloved people. Answer and save us by your power." The literal Hebrew here is quite evocative: "That Your beloved ones may be delivered; Save with Your right hand, and answer me!" First, notice the identity of the people. David calls them "Your beloved people" (yedid-echa). This comes from the same root as the name Jedidiah (which was Solomon's name given by God, meaning "Beloved of Yahweh"). This is crucial for our confidence in prayer. David doesn't appeal to God based on Israel's military strength or their moral perfection. He appeals to God's affection. "Lord, these are the ones You love. Therefore, rescue them." Second, notice the method...

Welcome back to TreknoPod — this week we're reviewing Star Trek: Starfleet Academy – Season 1, Episode 3 (“Vitus Reflux”).We cover the big conversations Episode 3 sparked:Is Starfleet Academy missing the “utopian” Star Trek feeling?Pranks vs bullying (and why the War College stuff hits differently)Which division we'd choose: Command, Engineering, Medical, or ScienceAlien hybrids + evolving species (does it enrich Trek or blur the lines?)The “too woke” discourse… and why Trek has always been progressivePlus: the barefoot Chancellor, fandom reactions, and the moments we lovedQuestion for the comments:Do you say “Vitus Reflux” or “Vitus Reflux”… and did Episode 3 win you over?

This episode hits fast with blunt industry chaos, from studio blunders to outrageous hardware rumors, and the crew does not hold back. The group also digs into a packed lineup of new releases they have been playing, giving sharp takes and calling things exactly as they see them.

Can a prank war teach future Starfleet officers real lessons? Dom Bettinelli, Fr. Jason Tyler, and Jimmy Akin highlight the humor, character beats, and surprising focus on empathy—and ask if lighter stories help set up stronger Trek themes.

We have reached the third season!In this episode of Holodeck Divas we discuss the Star Trek - The Next Generation season 3 premire "Evolution" (s3e1). Wesley accidently lets his experiment eat the entire Enterprise, while another doctor is obsessed with an exploding star. Speaking of doctors, we see the return of another doctor!

Just how bad is the new Star Trek series from Paramount Plus? Our old friend Cranky T-Rex sits down with me for well over an hour to dissect the new entry in Alex Kurtzman's Trek universe, in which science disappears altogether and the fiction is barely above the Young Adult level. Both of us feel like we swallowed our own combadges after watching the free pilot on YouTube, but the problem isn't just the wokery. It's the disdain that Kurtzman has for Trek, and for the audience who loved it.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined yet again by our pal and Hall of Fame trail name holder Marla Davidson, better known as "Fancy Feast".  Fancy Feast is a wealth of knowledge and unfortunate and embarrassing stories. She shares a nasty medical mishap involving poodle dog bush on the PCT, we look back at her time with the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps, where she and other "malnourished minors" subsisted on moldy bread and Sriracha, which was presented as a vegetable.  Fancy Feast gives us an overview of her 2024 calendar hikes of the PCT and CDT, her experience navigating the Hayduke Trail with Horsepower (former guest) after he convinced her with a PowerPoint presentation, and the hilarious mismatch in hiking styles from this somewhat random pairing.  She details what it's like being a PNTA crew lead, and the challenges associated in light of funding cuts and crews being reduced to a skeleton staff.  Feast also shares standout stories from her international travels, including a "pig water" disaster in the Andes, her time at the Green Mountain Club with a persistent bear that turned her food box into a rolling pinata, and her hot takes on thru-hiker "main character energy" and entitlement.  We wrap the show with whether we'd rather have three butt cheeks or just one, the triple crown of mild yet particular icks or phobias, and the news of how one Hayduke hiker got caught in quicksand. Yes, really.  LMNT: Get a free sample pack with any order at drinklmnt.com/trek.

Welcome to Day 2783 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2783 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 108:1-5 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2783 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand seven hundred eighty-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 Warrior Poet's Remix – A Song of Cosmic Confidence Today, we are lacing up our boots to begin a new adventure in Psalm One Hundred Eight. We will be trekking through the first movement of this anthem, verses one through five, in the New Living Translation. In our previous journey, we stood at the summit of Psalm One Hundred Seven. We listened to the testimonies of the redeemed—the wanderers, the prisoners, the fools, and the sailors—who cried out to God in their trouble and were rescued by His Unfailing Love (Hesed). That psalm ended with a challenge to the "Wise": "Those who are wise will take all this to heart; they will see in our history the faithful love of the Lord." Psalm One Hundred Eight is the response of the wise heart. It is the song of someone who has observed God's history and has decided to move forward with absolute, unshakable confidence. But there is something unique about this psalm that we must understand before we take a single step. Psalm One Hundred Eight is a Remix. If you were to look closely at your Bible, you might notice something familiar. Verses one through five are almost identical to Psalm Fifty-seven, verses seven through eleven. And verses six through thirteen are almost identical to Psalm Sixty, verses five through twelve. King David, the master songwriter, took two of his previous songs—songs written during times of intense crisis and lament—and spliced them together. He cut out the parts about fear and crying for mercy, and he kept the parts about confidence and victory. He fused them to create a new, high-energy anthem for a new generation. This teaches us a profound lesson about wisdom and legacy. Sometimes, to face a new battle, you don't need a new revelation; you need to rearrange the truths you already know. You need to take the lessons learned in the caves of your past (Psalm Fifty-seven) and the battlefields of your history (Psalm Sixty) and combine them into a fresh declaration of faith. So, let us open our hearts to this "Greatest Hits" album of King David and learn how to sing with cosmic confidence. The first segment is: The Fixed Heart: Preparation for the Dawn. Psalm One Hundred Eight: verses one through two. My heart is confident in you, O God; no wonder I can sing your praises with all my heart!  Wake up, lyre and harp! I will wake the dawn with my song. The psalm opens with a statement of internal stability: "My heart is confident in you, O God..." The Hebrew word for "confident" is nakon. It means "fixed," "steadfast," "firm," or "prepared." It is the same word used to describe a foundation that cannot be moved.

Can a prank war teach future Starfleet officers real lessons? Dom Bettinelli, Fr. Jason Tyler, and Jimmy Akin highlight the humor, character beats, and surprising focus on empathy—and ask if lighter stories help set up stronger Trek themes.

Welcome to Day 2782 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2782 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 107:33-43 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2782 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand seven hundred eighty-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. The title for today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Great Reversal – When Princes Wander and the Poor Become Princes Today, we reach the summit of Psalm One Hundred Seven. We are exploring the final section, verses thirty-three through forty-three, in the New Living Translation. In our previous treks through this magnificent psalm, we listened to the testimonies of the redeemed. We stood in the congregation of the faithful and heard four distinct groups shout, "Let them praise the Lord for his great love!" We heard the Wanderers who found a city.   We heard the Prisoners whose chains were snapped.   We heard the Fools who were healed by God's sent Word.   And we heard the Sailors who saw the storm turned into a whisper. All of these stories had a common plotline: Human desperation meets Divine Intervention. They were stories of rescue. But as we enter the final movement of the psalm today, the camera angle changes. The psalmist stops telling individual stories and begins to describe the cosmic principles behind those stories. He moves from biography to theology. He shows us that the God of Israel is the God of the Great Reversal. He is a God who does not just maintain the status quo; He actively flips the world upside down. He turns gardens into deserts and deserts into gardens. He throws princes into the mud and lifts the beggar to the throne. This section reveals Yahweh's absolute sovereignty over Cosmic Geography and Political Power. It teaches us that our environment—whether we are in a season of drought or abundance—is not accidental. It is governed by the hand of the King. And finally, the psalm ends with a challenge to the "Wise." It asks us if we have the eyes to see the patterns of God's love in the chaos of history. So, let us open our eyes to the reversals of God. The first segment is: The Sovereignty Over Geography: The Curse of the Salt. Psalm One Hundred Seven: verses thirty-three through thirty-four. He turns rivers into a desert, flowing springs into thirsty ground,  and fruitful land into salty wastelands, because of the wickedness of those who live there. The psalmist begins by asserting God's power to de-create. "He turns rivers into a desert, flowing springs into thirsty ground..." In the Ancient Israelite worldview, water was life. A land with rivers and springs was a land blessed by God—it was Edenic. But here, the psalmist says that God has the authority to withdraw that life. He can turn a paradise into a "desert" (midbar). This is not just climate change; it is judgment. "...and...

Ten-hut, Cadet Maman! We got war games or some such! Tally-ho! Wait, that's Trelane. Scratch that, but it's time for patience, Maman! And don't forget empathy! Watch out for the betazoid in the Mugato suit, Maman...
