Because the Colossians have received Jesus, St. Paul exhorts them to walk in Him and remain rooted in the faith He has established in them. They must not be taken captive by philosophies that are only manmade traditions, for these are not from Christ. He is the One in whom the fullness of deity dwells bodily, and He has filled His Church. In Holy Baptism, He has incorporated His Church into His burial and resurrection so that we receive the triumph that He has won over all powers through His cross.  Rev. Jeremiah Johnson, pastor at Glory of Christ Lutheran Church in Plymouth, MN, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Colossians 2:6-15.  To learn more about Glory of Christ Lutheran, visit gloryofchrist.org “Letters from Prison” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that studies Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon. Even when Paul was imprisoned for the sake of Christ, the Word of God remained unbound. The apostle's letters from prison still fill us with the same joy that his chains could never silence. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

Peso Pluma BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Peso Pluma is everywhere right now and the last few days have just added new chapters to his swiftly expanding story. On October 25 at ComplexCon in Las Vegas, Peso Pluma made genuine history as the first regional Mexican artist to ever perform at this major cultural festival, a breakthrough that headlines have hailed as both a genre-defining moment and a sign that Mexican music is truly global. The festival, attended by 70,000 fans according to News 3 Las Vegas, featured performances from stars like Young Thug, Yeat, and Central Cee, but it was Peso's set that helped redefine the weekend, solidifying his place not only as a star but as a trailblazer for Latino artists in cross-genre spaces. ComplexCon gave out exclusive GAS trading cards featuring Peso Pluma and other performers, capturing his live energy in collectibles now coveted by fans.While at ComplexCon, Peso Pluma also paired up with Cymbiotika Wellness Bar for a full-on business and celebrity wellness moment. Cymbiotika launched a signature Peso Pluma smoothie at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas, described by Resident and Travel and Tour World as a nutrient-rich blend tailored to reflect his lifestyle and his commitment to performance and health. The launch saw devoted fans lining up for the first taste, branded merch, and a coveted meet-and-greet with the artist and his manager, George Prajin, who happens to be an investor in Cymbiotika. The collaboration underlined how Peso's profile now transcends music, weaving him into wellness, hospitality, and luxury—each appearance amplifying his global influence and signaling a shift in how celebrity partnerships shape both brands and cultural identity. The smoothie event's coverage emphasized Cymbiotika's aim to merge wellness and pop culture authentically, and Peso Pluma's own words at the debut—about balance and energy—struck a chord with fans following his intense performance schedule.On social media, Peso Pluma's ComplexCon history-making performance and business collaborations have been the talk of fan accounts and influencers. He remains one of Mexico's top-followed musicians, constantly referenced by major Instagram accounts, with collaborations and milestone mentions popping up across TikTok and Instagram—especially in connection with events like Belicofest, the November 8-9 regional Mexican festival in Arizona where fans anticipate yet another big moment for Peso Pluma amid the genre's stateside boom.Looking ahead, while some buzz surrounds personal matters—rumors swirl about his long-term relationship status and digital cleanups by previous partners, notably singer Nicki Nicole, per Hola—those haven't been substantiated and remain speculation. As of now, the story of Peso Pluma in the past few days is epic new performances, entrepreneurial partnerships, and an escalating cultural narrative that makes him not just a music superstar but also a lifestyle influencer whose moves point to greater things on the horizon.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

You can find it at: https://bit.ly/4oFyVRg  Fresh from his jaw-dropping triumph at Agincourt, King Henry V rides into London not just as a victor—but as a legend. The city explodes in celebration: mock castles tower over cheering crowds, wine gushes from fountains, and the streets roar with praise for England's warrior king. But behind the spectacle, Henry is already scheming. Cold, calculating, and relentless, he wastes no time turning glory into power—securing a high-stakes alliance with Sigismund of Luxembourg. The war with France isn't over. In fact, it's only just begun. Henry's next chapter will be bigger, bolder, and even more ruthless.

наступ пред свима.En: Mila, his friend and colleague, looked at him with empathy but also with her own secret fear—performing in front of everyone.Sr: Са друге стране, Јован је стојао у сенци, шкиљећи на снег и размишљајући о начинима како овај хаос може искористити у своју корист.En: On the other side, Jovan stood in the shadows, squinting at the snow and pondering how he might use this chaos to his advantage.Sr: Сваке године школа организује фестивал на отвореном, познат по живописним шаторима и игри на школском дворишту.En: Every year, the school organizes an outdoor festival known for its colorful tents and games on the school grounds.Sr: Међутим, овај неочекивани снег значио је можда отказивање или значајну промену планова.En: However, this unexpected snow meant a possible cancellation or a significant change in plans.Sr: Вук је стиснуо усне и дубоко удахнуо, чекајући да нешто измисли.En: Vuk pressed his lips together and took a deep breath, waiting to come up with something.Sr: Док су се ученици састали у школској трпезарији, Вук је устао.En: As the students gathered in the school cafeteria, Vuk stood up.Sr: "Знам да је снег изненадио све нас," рекао је, осећајући тежину њихових очекивања на раменима.En: "I know the snow surprised us all," he said, feeling the weight of their expectations on his shoulders.Sr: "Али можда можемо искористити ову прилику и направити нешто неочекивано, нешто магично - Зимску чаролију.En: "But maybe we can seize this opportunity to create something unexpected, something magical—a Winter Enchantment."Sr: "Мила се осмелила и предложила: "Можемо користити украсе од папира да направимо снежне пахуљице и поставимо их свуда.En: Mila dared to propose: "We can use paper decorations to make snowflakes and put them everywhere."Sr: " Јован је најпре ћутао, али тема га је заинтригирала.En: Jovan was silent at first, but the topic intrigued him.Sr: Уз дубок удах, одлучио је да се придружи: "Можемо направити снешка код улаза и поставити ледене лампе у ходницима.En: With a deep breath, he decided to join in: "We can make a snowman at the entrance and place ice lanterns in the hallways."Sr: "Док су се ученици смењивали с идејама, атмосфера се променила.En: As students exchanged ideas, the atmosphere changed.Sr: Вук је осетио попуштање тензије, а узбуђење је заменило стрепњу.En: Vuk felt the tension ease, and excitement replaced the apprehension.Sr: Одлучио је да верује својим другарима и прихвати њихову креативност.En: He decided to trust his friends and embrace their creativity.Sr: Мила се показала као прави уметник, украси су били дивни, а њен страх од говора у јавности полако је нестајао.En: Mila proved to be a true artist, the decorations were beautiful, and her fear of public speaking slowly faded away.Sr: Фестивал је био успех.En: The festival was a success.Sr: Снег се трансформисао у причу која се памти, а ученици - у тим који никада пре није био више уједињен.En: The snow transformed into a memorable story, and the students became a team more united than ever before.Sr: Јован је стајао поред Вука, схвативши колико је важно сарађивати и емоција га обузела.En: Jovan stood next to Vuk, realizing the importance of collaboration and felt moved by the emotion.Sr: Крај дана донео је ново разумевање за Вука - флексибилност и вера у снагу колектива.En: The end of the day brought a new understanding for Vuk—flexibility and faith in the strength of the collective.Sr: Мила је добила самопоуздање да може значајно да допринесе, док је Јован научио вредност тимског рада над ривалитетом.En: Mila gained confidence in her ability to contribute significantly, while Jovan learned the value of teamwork over rivalry.Sr: Као што је снег изнад Белграда наставио да лагано пада, тако је и њихово пријатељство, сада јаче и спремније за нове изазове.En: Just as the snow continued to gently fall over Belgrade, so did their friendship, now stronger and more ready for new challenges.

In this powerful Kidney Warrior Story, host Dee sits down with Tony to unpack a decade-spanning journey through chronic kidney disease (CKD)—from a shock Stage 4 diagnosis of IgA Nephropathy (IgAN) to Stage 5 kidney failure, peritoneal dialysis (PD) with brutal drain pain, a transition to haemodialysis (HD), line infection and coma, the courage to self-needle with a fistula, and ultimately the life-changing gift of a kidney transplant.   Tony shares the practical and emotional realities few hear about: choosing PD vs HD, APD (overnight machine) vs manual gravity bags, buttonhole vs rope-ladder needling, home haemodialysis training, fluid management, and rebuilding confidence after hospital trauma. He explains how movement and sport (from 5K Parkruns to half marathons) helped his mental health on dialysis—and how he kept going after FIVE “dry-run” transplant calls before finally receiving his match.   Post-transplant, Tony competed at the Transplant Games (bronze in cycling!), then faced a sudden cycling accident with a broken talus—and still came back stronger with kidney function over 90%. Tony's message? You're not alone. With support, information, and small, consistent steps, more is possible than you think.   WHAT YOU'LL HEAR • Early signs missed: high blood pressure and “white coat” assumptions  • Stage 4 to Stage 5 CKD: understanding IgA Nephropathy and next steps  • Peritoneal Dialysis (PD): APD vs gravity bags, real talk on drain pain  • Haemodialysis (HD): line infection → coma, then fistula and self-needling  • Buttonhole vs rope-ladder: how Tony overcame needle phobia  • Home HD routine + exercising safely on dialysis (5K to half marathons)  • Five transplant calls that didn't happen—coping tools that helped  • The call that changed everything: consent, surgery, waking the kidney  • Transplant Games success—and recovery after a serious cycling crash  • Mental health: therapy, peer groups, and why talking saves lives  • Practical tips: fluid limits, pacing activity, and building back slowly  • Community resources: Kidney Care UK, young adult kidney groups   KEY TAKEAWAYS • Movement is medicine—start with what you can manage (even 100 metres).  • Your effort matters—even when decline happens, you may be delaying harm.  • Build your circle: family, peers, clinicians, therapists, Kidney Care UK.  • Advocacy counts: read clinic posters, join groups, ask questions.  • Mindset + support = progress. Small daily actions add up.   If you're newly diagnosed or supporting someone with CKD, browse our back catalogue for in-depth episodes on PD, HD, transplant prep, and mental health.   Follow Diary of a Kidney Warrior:

This special First Saturday Rosary meditation fulfills Our Lady's call for reparation to the Immaculate Heart, combining the full recitation of the Sorrowful Mysteries with rich theological reflection on humility, sacrifice, and Marian intercession in a world that has largely forgotten devotion. Following the Rosary, the meditation unfolds into a sweeping narrative of salvation history, from Mary's Immaculate Conception and Fiat to the Passion, Resurrection, and her Heavenly Coronation. Portraying Our Lady as the New Ark and living tabernacle, the episode affirms the Rosary as a weapon of love and a path to purity in the modern spiritual battle.U.S. residents!
