21st Sunday in Ordinary TIme, Year A 2026

In Episode 232, Sarah is joined by returning guest Anderson McKean of Page & Palette Bookstore for the 2026 edition of Micro Genres! Each year, this series gives us a chance to niche down even further into the kinds of books we love — spotlighting those very specific sub-sub-genres that capture a particular reading taste. This year, Sarah and Anderson have 10 all-new Micro Genres to share, along with standout books for each. With more than 80 books mentioned, you're bound to find a few new additions to your TBR — and maybe recognize a Micro Genre or two of your own.

2026-07-05 A True Confessionby Pastor Chris Berg Scripture: Mark 7:31-37 31 Then Jesus left the vicinity of Tyre and went through Sidon, down to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis. 32 There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him.33 After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man's ears. Then he spit and touched the man's tongue. 34 He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means “Be opened!”). 35 At this, the man's ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly.36 Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone. But the more he did so, the more they kept talking about it. 37 People were overwhelmed with amazement. “He has done everything well,” they said. “He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”Mandeville Bible Church   "Where God's Word is Our Foundation"https://www.mandevillebiblechurch.org/Come and see that God's Word is alive and at work right here in Mandeville.. and throughout the world!All are welcome. 217 Carroll Street, Mandeville, LA 70448Church Office: (985) 626-3114Sunday Service: 9:30AMAdult Sunday School: 10:45-11:30AMNursery and Children's church available.

Today, Stephanie and Kevin cover a topic that can often get confusing for many people: the estate and gift tax system. This is different from the income tax system, and both are federal tax systems that everyone needs to be aware of when planning for retirement.   At the end of the day, the IRS is getting paid. The only two questions, then, are: Who pays? and When? Our hosts tackle these questions and more.   While today's discussion is a big picture overview of the estate and gift tax system, it will give you a general grasp of the concepts and vocabulary that will make your next meeting with your accountant or estate planning attorney a more insightful and productive one.   Key Topics: "At the end of the day, the IRS is getting paid." (2:28) Defining estate taxes. (3:00) What are "exclusion amounts?" (5:58) Defining gift taxes. (8:00) Maximizing how much your beneficiaries inherit. (11:37) "My parents can only give me $16,000 a year…" Why this isn't true. (17:14) "I want to avoid probate, because if I can do that, then I'm not going to pay estate tax…" Why this isn't true. (21:55)   Resources Mentioned: Take Back Retirement Episode 31: What the Heck is a Trust, and Why Might I Need One? Take Back Retirement Episode 32: True Confessions of Two Financial Planners.   If you like what you've been hearing, we invite you to subscribe on your favorite platform and leave us a review.

We just completed our first year in Spain, a year full of changes, and have noticed many similarities we share with the Israelites when they were traveling into the Promised Land: They were prone to fear instead of faith; they were self-centered and unthankful; they struggled to trust God with all the changes in their lives. And we are the same! Listen in as we confess some sin and struggles during our last year of transition, and rejoice in Jesus, who never sinned and died for our sin, and empowers us to live in a way that honors Him. 

Blue Oyster Cult translated their fan favorite live act into platinum with the 1975 live album On Your Feet Or On Your Knees. It not only gave the guys confidence going into recording Agents of Fortune but it gave each of them the funds to buy synthesizers that would allow all of them to write songs individually and bring more polished songs into the studio. The result was an eclectic mix of styles - hard rock riffs (This Ain't The Summer of Love), 50s piano laments (True Confessions), lilting confessionals (Debbie Denise) and an eternal hard rock anthem in (Don't Fear) The Reaper. Reaper would sell more than 6 million copies as a single and help propel Agents of Fortune to platinum. But it also gave them the financial leverage to upgrade their stage show as now they were headliners. Thanks to Reaper, their patented laser (which Buck admitted they should have leased and not bought) would make it's debut and receive warnings from the government about injuring fans eyes at concerts. It was a total gamechanger which allows them to continue to tour the world to this day. It was a song that made you wonder "If they can write that one, there must be more like it on the album, right?" But Reaper was the only song Buck Dharma (aka Donald Roeser) sang lead on and his only co-write. It's the only album in the catalog to feature all 5 original members a shot at lead vocals and all of them have writing credits. The different styles vary from hard rock to campy to spooky to corny and tackle varied subjects from death and eternal love to extra terrestrials and vampires. There's a lot to explore here thanks to the different styles and vocals which we appreciate so much more now than when we did as teens disappointed there wasn't another (Don't Fear) The Reaper.

Blue Oyster Cult translated their fan favorite live act into platinum with the 1975 live album On Your Feet Or On Your Knees. It not only gave the guys confidence going into recording Agents of Fortune but it gave each of them the funds to buy synthesizers that would allow all of them to write songs individually and bring more polished songs into the studio. The result was an eclectic mix of styles - hard rock riffs (This Ain't The Summer of Love), 50s piano laments (True Confessions), lilting confessionals (Debbie Denise) and an eternal hard rock anthem in (Don't Fear) The Reaper. Reaper would sell more than 6 million copies as a single and help propel Agents of Fortune to platinum. But it also gave them the financial leverage to upgrade their stage show as now they were headliners. Thanks to Reaper, their patented laser (which Buck admitted they should have leased and not bought) would make it's debut and receive warnings from the government about injuring fans eyes at concerts. It was a total gamechanger which allows them to continue to tour the world to this day. It was a song that made you wonder "If they can write that one, there must be more like it on the album, right?" But Reaper was the only song Buck Dharma (aka Donald Roeser) sang lead on and his only co-write. It's the only album in the catalog to feature all 5 original members a shot at lead vocals and all of them have writing credits. The different styles vary from hard rock to campy to spooky to corny and tackle varied subjects from death and eternal love to extra terrestrials and vampires. There's a lot to explore here thanks to the different styles and vocals which we appreciate so much more now than when we did as teens disappointed there wasn't another (Don't Fear) The Reaper. Agents of Fortune is still Blue Oyster Cult's top selling album to date, thanks largely to Reaper. But there's some wacky and cool stuff on this record that's worth diving into as the album celebrates its 50th.

Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Matthew Petrusek, senior director of the Word on Fire Institute and the host of the Word on Fire Show. Thank you for joining us. Hollywood is not known for being friendly to Christianity in general or Catholicism in particular, especially nowadays; unfortunately, there is no shortage of storylines and characters that mock and even demonize believers. At the same time, however, whenever the film industry wishes to depict a "religious looking" scene or add a transcendent element to the plot, it frequently employs Catholic architecture, Catholic sacramentals, and even Catholic priests to do so. What should we make of this ambivalence to the faith? What does Hollywood get wrong, and what, perhaps to our surprise, does Hollywood get right about Catholicism and the priesthood? What do these portrayals tell us more broadly about potential openness within the entertainment industry to God's existence, the divinity of Christ, good and evil, and life after death? Here to take a look at some pivotal classic and contemporary films that prominently feature Catholicism and Catholic priests, with an eye to unpacking their significance for the wider entertainment culture, is Bishop Robert Barron.

Devin & James are back in the DEN OF CIN with a tribute to actor/writer/director ROBERT DUVALL! Few other artists have had such a long lasting impact on the art form as Duvall, with parts in many of the most important movies ever made, in both supporting and lead roles. We start off with a list of the expected must-see classics, such as The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, M*A*S*H, and Network (to name just a few), but we deep dive into a selection of Duvall films that tend to get less attention in the modern era than the typical "greatest hits" of his filmography. We start with a look into his supporting role in Francis Ford Coppola's THE RAIN PEOPLE, and then dive into long form conversations about his many starring roles, including the criminally underseen THE OUTFIT, his Oscar winning country music masterpiece TENDER MERCIES, family drama THE GREAT SANTINI, Dennis Hopper's still controversial COLORS with Sean Penn, the self-written & directed THE APOSTLE, and the 21st century western OPEN RANGE. Along the way, we get into side conversations about THX-1138, TOMORROW, THE STONE BOY, FALLING DOWN, JOE KIDD, TRUE CONFESSIONS, and THE JUDGE, as well as probably the weirdest, most random cameo of all time in the remake of INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS. Join us for all of these, and even a few more, as we celebrate over 60 years of cinema with Robert Duvall!

Not every apology is real repentance. In 1 Samuel 15, Saul's confession forces us to examine what true confession actually involves: taking full responsibility for sin, recognizing its consequences, speaking with sincerity, and returning to worship with a cleansed heart. This episode calls us to stop excusing sin and come honestly before God.

It's Easter Sunday and New Bike Season! We welcome podcast newbie Yosemite Bill, and share our confessions about things motorcycle.

EPISODE 690 - Cindy Eastman - True Confessions of An Ambivalent Caregiver, Grief, Loss and The Next ChapterAbout the authorCindy Eastman is a writer and an educator. Her career has taken a wide and diverse route from introducing computer skills to elementary schoolchildren, teaching freshman English as an adjunct at a community college to facilitating a writing course for seniors for the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. In her weekly essay on Substack called Silver Linings, she discusses getting older with a sense of humor--a must! Eastman makes her home in Connecticut with her husband, Angelo. Her second collection of essays, "True Confessions of an Ambivalent Caregiver" will be published by She Writes Press in Sept. 2024 and she is submitting an anthology on grief to publishers. She can be found writing or teaching unless she gets to spend time with her grandkids. Then all bets are off. Book: True Confessions of an Ambivalent Caregiver: A Memoir in EssaysWritten for caregivers of parents and spouses, this funny but brutally honest collection of essays from award-winning author Eastman challenges the romanticized notion of caregiving, portraying it as an elegant conflict that reshapes family dynamics.At first grateful to be able remodel the dining room of her family's modest home in Connecticut to accommodate her eighty-six-year-old father for what everyone felt would be a short duration of care, Cindy Eastman ultimately experienced a whole gamut of feelings over the course of what turned out to be four years of caring for her dying dad. Caregiving impacts everyone, and this account—told in essays recorded before, during, and after the time Eastman's father was with her—details that impact, not just on the primary caregiver but also the rest of the family.One of the reasons Eastman committed to writing down her experiences was because she predicted that once her dad died, there would be a tendency to soften or even deny any of the negative and challenging times—and there were many. As of 2020, more than 53 million adults provide homecare in this country, and the reality of that arrangement is different for every family. It is not, as some might suggest, a "noble gesture" but rather an elegant conflict—an intricate reassembling of the family dynamic that many people don't ever see coming. In these candid, often poignant essays, Cindy Eastman brings all the emotions of taking on the challenging responsibility of caregiving a parent at the end of their life to the surface.With lots of humorous insight, Cindy Eastman validates the struggles and sacrifices and describes what you want to say - even if you never utter a word. Eastman isn't afraid to reveal genuine thoughts and feelings about caregiving, even if these aren't always flattering. True Confessions of an Ambivalent Caregiver shows that, sometimes, just getting through the day is an accomplishment, and it's enough. ~ Courtnee Turner Hoylefor Readers' Favorite https://cindyeastman.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

With Dr. Wiles in Rome, Katy and Luke welcome Bud Houston, a First Baptist Arlington member who works with the Joshua Project maintaining data on unreached people groups worldwide. Bud, a former automotive technician with seven children (expecting an eighth named Conrad), previously worked with Global Gates before joining Joshua Project as director of people group data.The conversation centers on the church's upcoming Ramadan outreach, explaining that Muslims fast from sunup to sundown during this holy month. Bud shares that Arlington has approximately 20,000 Muslims, primarily Arabs and Kurds from the Middle East, many of whom came due to persecution. He offers practical advice for engaging Muslim neighbors using what he calls the "F words" - asking about family, food, friends, fun, future, faith, and ultimately forgiveness. The key is building genuine relationships through proximity and presence rather than programmatic approaches. Bud emphasizes understanding honor/shame cultures versus guilt/innocence cultures, noting that Muslims often make communal rather than individual decisions about faith. The church's gift bag distribution serves as a catalyst for relationship-building, with the ultimate goal of positioning Christians to be available when God works in Muslims' lives through dreams and visions.

One out of every four Americans is a caregiver, caring for partners, parents, grandparents or children. They juggle living their own lives while taking loved ones to the doctor, dispensing medication and even managing insurance. The struggles of these caregivers are often invisible. Many face negative financial impacts, isolation and anxiety. On this episode, we'll hear from caregivers as they share their hardships and hopes. We'll also discuss why America’s caregiving crisis is an urgent public health problem. GUESTS: Laura Mauldin: associate professor in the Department of Social and Critical Inquiry at the University of Connecticut and author of "In Sickness and Health: Love Stories from the Front Line of America’s Caregiving Crisis."

How did the Imagineers alter the storytelling of the Tower of Terror libraries for the California and Paris versions?Drop in with us on this episode of Distory with Kate & Kirk as we check into California Adventure's lost Hollywood Tower Hotel to decipher the history, secrets, and stories hidden within its design.In this episode, we check into the DCA and DLP versions of the Tower of Terror, exploring details in the lobby, foyer, and libraries of this iconic attraction. Along the way, we discover some scandalous true confessions in the lobby, followed by some disappearing monarchs and Twilight Zone connections in the foyer. We then step into the libraries to point out some unique props and differences between this version of the Tower and the one that still exists in Walt Disney World. Kate discusses a tragic love story, Kirk offers up some wisdom (and cookie recipes), and we laugh our way through this (thankfully) LAST Hollywood Tower Hotel library episode in our series.Join us LIVE on YouTube every week!

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. Summary: This episode explores the transformative power of true confession in relationships and before God. The hosts emphasize that merely confessing to God without relational accountability often leaves sin unresolved, while confessing to a trusted spouse or mentor cultivates humility, freedom, and healing. By creating a safe, non-judgmental environment, individuals can openly share their struggles, confront personal failures, and experience genuine spiritual growth. Through examples like Isaiah's humility and David's repentance, the discussion highlights that confession exposes the heart yet invites God's love and restoration, ultimately preparing believers to stand confidently in His presence. Show Notes: Confession is more impactful when shared with a trusted person rather than only internally or to God in abstraction.Safe accountability fosters honesty, freedom, and spiritual growth.True humility involves acknowledging sin without rationalizing or hiding it.Examples: Isaiah's immediate awareness of his sinfulness (Isaiah 6), David's repentance after Nathan's confrontation (2 Samuel 12).Confession is preparation for encountering God and deepening relational intimacy.Key principle: “Confess your sins to one another, that you may be healed.” Important Quotes: Ron:“You can confess to the Lord in the sky all day long, and nothing happens—'cause you're really not confessing to anybody.”Ed:“You should have somebody that actually can say ‘no' to you—somebody that you can talk with and confess to without condemnation.”Debbie:

Gary Kemp, whose career highlights as a musician and actor include writing Spandau Ballet's seminal hit "True," tells us about about the time David Bowie almost made Gary's son late for a playdate; going on a bender with Duran Duran the night before the 1984 Band Aid recording session: and why he and his old mate, Def Leppard's Joe Elliott, charted different musical paths even though they were fans of the same bands. In this short VIDEO, Gary muses on why Joe Elliott didn't laugh when they watched This Is Spinal Tap together. Might it have hit a little too close to home???

As heavy as the story that produces this penitential psalm of David is, there is a beautiful lesson of true freedom in Christ that comes through faithful confession. Without God graciously revealing David's sin by Nathan, he would have remained trapped in condemnation. Instead, David was awakened to his sin and thereby freed to confess his sin and receive the joy of a gospel centered life. David is now an example to the world on how we too can be freed from our sins.

The controversial auto-pen signatures from the Biden administration's final days are finally getting examined. The fellas discuss how these decisions, particularly the pardons for figures like Anthony Fauci, Biden Family members, and Jerry Lundergan, were reportedly made without Biden's direct involvement, despite his team's insistence otherwise. But Hunter got a handwritten one.    The deep state left a note. So this is your friendly reminder that the State Department fired employees want you to do your best to ‘resist fascism.'    A really wild read from the New York Times by Obama speech writer David Litt sheds light on how the democrats look down on MAGA, and the fellas just can't get enough of this OpEd.    ️ Trump approaches foreign policy unlike any other President and it's paying off, just like The Progrum knew it would.

Daniel - Week 1Daniel 9:1-11There was a woman who needed help on her health journey. She had tried to do all the “right” things but was frustrated in her lack of progress. Seeing ads for a well-known weight loss app, she decided to give it a try. After downloading the app, she worked her way through all the questions; she finally finished and was ready to see their predicted date when she would reach her ideal weight: “You will reach your goal in two days.” Excitement was quickly replaced with confusion. How was that possible…?What she failed to realize was that she hadn't entered her data accurately. She didn't acknowledge the reality of her situation and thought she was better off than she was. Because of that, she couldn't get the help she needed.When we go to God in prayer, are we coming in confident of our good efforts and ready to meet our goals? Or are we humbly admitting that we fall short every time and need the Holy Spirit to help us? We will begin a new series on prayer tomorrow morning where we'll learn how important it is to have a reality check first.

Restore intimacy with God and find rest for your soul with a genuine confession.

In this very special edition of “the mini podcast with major optimism,” host Bill Burke confesses to falling off the optimism bandwagon. Yes, this can even happen to the founder of The Optimism Institute! He describes a doom-scrolling session that left him feeling lousy and explains how – with advice we can all use – he pulled himself up and out of his predicament. 

Josh Mankiewicz sits down with Keith Morrison and Dateline producer Shane Bishop, to talk about their newest episode, “True Confession”, based on an epic case they have been following for more than a decade. When Idaho teenager Angie Dodge was found murdered in her home in 1996,  her friend Christopher Tapp falsely confessed to the crime. Keith and Shane talk about Carol Dodge, the relentless and unlikely ally who fought to prove Tapp's innocence and find her daughter's real killer. Keith also shares a podcast-exclusive clip from his last interview with Christopher Tapp and answers viewer and listener questions.
