Chuck E. Cheese Gets Arrested at Work for doing the UNIMAGINABLE!
How can you keep trusting God when you experience the most unimaginable trauma? Where can you find the goodness of God when the pain feels unrelenting?Erin Ketchen grew up in a family deeply rooted in faith. That foundation became essential when her family was thrust into a season of profound suffering. First, her husband was diagnosed with testicular cancer, a journey they had to navigate together. But nothing could have prepared Erin for the tragedy that followed: the brutal murder of her sister—her best friend—and her young niece at the hands of a deranged neighbor.Rather than allowing the pain to consume her, Erin discovered a renewed purpose through her suffering. Today, she serves as a Nothing is Wasted coach, using her own story to walk alongside others in their darkest seasons.In this raw and powerful conversation, Davey and Erin connect over their shared experiences of loss. They explore why moving toward our pain is vital, how Jesus transforms our perspective in suffering, and how God often uses our deepest wounds as the very platform for ministry.If you've ever wondered how to trust God when life feels hard, this episode will remind you that even in the struggle, His goodness can still be found.

In this engaging Big Blend Radio conversation, filmmaker and debut novelist TJ Derry talks about his powerful new novel "Carried Away: Surviving the Unimaginable" — a story that begins as a laid-back surf trip and spirals into a gripping fight for survival. When burned-out New Yorker Cole joins friends on a remote Indonesian island chain seeking clarity and connection, he finds beauty, friendship, and love — until a catastrophic tsunami changes everything. Stripped of modern comforts and confronted by nature's raw force, the group must navigate both physical peril and the deeper emotional reckoning that comes when everything else falls away. More than just a survival thriller, Carried Away is a soul-searching exploration of resilience, purpose, and rediscovering what truly matters. Derry shares how his background in cinematography and storytelling influenced his immersive writing style, and how surfing — with its balance of surrender and control — became the perfect metaphor for life. He also discusses the book's innovative use of QR codes for bonus materials and his partnership with Sungai Watch, an environmental organization cleaning Indonesia's rivers and beaches.

In this episode the host Rosie Moss speaks with Karen Sutton. Karen is the UK's first widow coach and a leading voice in the grief community, known for her deeply personal approach to navigating widowhood, parenting after loss, and reclaiming life after tragedy.Together, Rosie and Karen delve into the raw terrain of life after the sudden death of a spouse. Karen shares the moment she learned of her husband Simon's fatal cycling accident, the difficult task of telling her young daughters, and the silent years of muddling through grief while shepherding her family forward. The conversation balances the brutal truth of early widowhood with flashes of humour, love, and resilience, from the chaos of partying and drinking to the quiet breakthrough when her children helped her face herself. Karen illuminates how she moved from survival into purpose, transforming her experience into support for others, and why she now sees herself as a grief sherpa. With candid reflections and gentle insight, this episode explores what it means to parent, thrive, and feel joy again after unimaginable loss. “I did not want this to define my life in a negative way,” Karen says. “I want to find a way to live.”The moment loss arrived: Karen recounts the trauma of learning about Simon's sudden death and the instinctive scramble to protect her children from the truth, all before her own grief had time to land.Parenting through pain: Both daughters responded to grief differently, one silent and one explosive, and Karen shares how she navigated their emotional and academic setbacks with compassion and determination.Facing the mirror: After spiralling into denial and exhaustion, a quiet nudge from her children catalysed Karen's transformation from survival to healing, fuelled by self-inquiry and self-kindness.Living proof of growth: Karen challenges the idea that moving on means forgetting, instead modelling a life where grief and joy can coexist. “It is okay not to be okay, but it is also okay to be okay.”Grief as choice and agency: Rather than feeling shaped by loss, Karen reclaimed agency, choosing from millions of different directions the one where she lives fully while honouring Simon's memory.The grief sherpa approach: Karen discusses the coaching work she now offers, from vibrant retreats to community support, blending grief care with personal development and authentic connection.Letting go of perfection: The discussion unpacks how modelling self-compassion teaches children resilience. “You are not perfect, but you do not need to be, and you are doing your best.”https://www.karensutton.co.uk#widowhood #grief #griefsupport #parentingafterloss #suddenloss #childbereavement #KarenSutton #widowcoach #griefjourney #healingafterloss #widowedmum #resilience #findingpurpose #lifeafterloss #WidowedAFPodcast

In this powerful exploration of Revelation 6:12-17, we delve into the sobering reality of God's wrath and the urgency of our relationship with Christ. As we witness the vivid imagery of cosmic upheaval - earthquakes, darkened sun, blood-red moon, and falling stars - we're reminded of God's ultimate authority over creation. These cataclysmic events echo prophecies from Joel and Jesus Himself, underlining the consistency of God's word across scripture. The passage challenges us to examine our own spiritual preparedness. Are we among those hiding in fear, or are we standing firm in faith? This stark contrast urges us to cultivate a genuine relationship with Jesus, recognizing Him not just as the Lamb who took our place on the cross, but as the righteous Judge. As we reflect on these end-time events, let's be inspired to live with purpose, sharing God's love and truth with a world in desperate need of hope.
Following Charlie Kirk's assassination, there have been over 75,000 requests for new Turning Point USA chapters and many conservative commentators have written about his legacy and achievements, but what hasn't been remarked about enough is, “What was the essence of his appeal to young voters?" asks Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” The answer? Charlie Kirk understood that young people, by their very nature, are rebellious. He wanted to take their natural skepticism and point it toward the establishment, which, today, is composed of the corporate media, higher ed, and baby boomers who never got over the 1960s and '70s. “So what was the secret to his success? I think what he did was quite brilliant. He understood that young people are, by nature, rebellious. They always, as—you're full of energy. They're full of hormones. They're full of ideas. They haven't lived a long time. And they question authority. That's innate to all of us at that age. “But what he was trying to tell them was: Use that natural inquisitiveness, skepticism, maybe even rebelliousness, at the establishment. But you're mistaken. The establishment is not conservative. “The establishment, as defined by the network news, PBS, NPR; as defined by higher education, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Berkeley, Stanford; as defined by the corporate boardroom at Budweiser or Target, or Disney; as defined by the popular culture, if you look—I could just direct you to the halftime show at the typical Super Bowl extravaganza. We could go on, but you get the message.” (00:00) Remembering Charlie Kirk: A Legacy of Youthful Rebellion (01:36) The Secret to Kirk's Success with Young Voters (02:55) Challenging the Establishment: Kirk's Revolutionary Message (05:57) Conclusion and Call to Action

How Do You Keep Going When Life Hits You Twice? Today's guest, Austin Hatch, is a living, breathing miracle—and one of the most inspiring men I've ever had the privilege to sit across from. Austin survived not one, but two plane crashes. The first claimed the lives of his mother and siblings. The second, just eight years later, took his father and stepmother and left Austin in a coma, fighting for his life. Yet somehow, against all odds, he not only survived—he found a way to thrive. In this conversation, Austin and I go deep into what it takes to get back up when life knocks you down harder than you ever thought possible. He shares how he rebuilt his body, his faith, and his identity after losing almost everything—and why gratitude, not bitterness, became his anchor. Austin's story is not about avoiding pain; it's about choosing purpose through it, believing that God can still write a story of victory even when tragedy has stolen so much. We talk about what it means to carry grief without letting it define you, to forgive life for what it's taken, and to find meaning in the middle of unimaginable suffering. Austin's journey to eventually fulfill his dream of playing basketball for the University of Michigan is a testament to what happens when resilience meets faith. This episode is about more than survival—it's about transformation. If you've ever wondered whether you can rise again after devastation, Austin's story is living proof that you can. Key Takeaways: How Austin survived two plane crashes and found the will to rebuild his life Why gratitude—not bitterness—became his greatest weapon against despair The role faith plays in turning unimaginable tragedy into testimony What it means to carry grief without being defined by it How to keep moving toward your dreams even when everything says it's over Lean in to this one. Austin's story will not only move you—it will change the way you see your own challenges. — Max Out

Read OnlineThen the disciples approached Jesus in private and said, “Why could we not drive it out?” He said to them, “Because of your little faith. Amen, I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:19–20A man came up to Jesus, fell on his knees before Him and begged Jesus to cure his son who was possessed by a demon. The man explained that Jesus' disciples had tried to cast the demon out, but they could not do so. Jesus' initial response to the man was, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long will I be with you? How long will I endure you?” But then Jesus had the boy brought to Him, and He cast the demon out.The line quoted above reveals the conversation that immediately followed between Jesus and His disciples who failed to cast out the demon. It was because of their lack of faith that they were not able to do so. It should be noted that Jesus reacts firmly with a rebuke to this lack of faith as a way of emphasizing the importance of having a more pure faith.Is it true that if you were to have “faith the size of a mustard seed” that you would be able to move a mountain? Yes, most certainly. But this statement must be carefully understood. First of all, we can only have “faith” in that which is in the mind and will of God. Faith is a response to that which God speaks to us. We listen, understand and believe. This is faith. Faith is not just believing in something so strongly that we try to will it to happen. Thus, if God truly wanted a mountain to be uprooted and moved, and He spoke this to you asking you to do it, then if you listened to His Voice and responded with complete trust, then it would happen. But, of course, the glory of God is not fulfilled by moving a literal mountain, so it is very unlikely that this would ever be done through the gift of faith.But Jesus speaks this to His disciples and to us to assure us that we must listen, understand and believe all that He says. In the case of the curing of the boy with the demon, it is clear that it was the will of God that the disciples cast the demon out. But they failed to believe and, therefore, were unable to bring forth God's will through their faith.As for moving mountains, this happens on a figurative and spiritual level all the time. Any time God works in our lives in a supernatural way, or any time God uses us to work in another's life in a supernatural way, much more than a “mountain” is moved. From an eternal perspective, what is more glorious and what gives God greater glory? To literally move a mountain? Or to be changed by grace and to be interiorly transformed by God so as to give Him eternal glory? And what is more impressive? To be able to defy the laws of physics in a way that comes and goes in an instant, or to be used to change someone's soul for eternity? Without question, being used by God to bring transformation to another's soul for eternity is of infinitely greater magnitude.Reflect, today, upon the importance of listening to the Voice of God and responding with complete obedience and love. This is faith. What “mountain” does God want to move in your life? What transformation does He want to perform? Listen to Him and believe with every fiber of your being. As you do, God will not only do unimaginable things in your life, but through you, He will do unimaginable things in the lives of others.My saving Lord, You have done incredible things in the lives of so many. You have transformed souls and recreated them in Your mercy. Please bestow upon me the gift of faith so that I will hear Your Voice and respond with the utmost generosity and belief. Use me, dear Lord, to also become an instrument of Your unimaginable grace in the lives of others.

What happens when life changes in an instant, and the world expects you to carry on? This week’s Money Diarist had everything in motion: a new home with a pool, $40k in savings, a baby on the way, and a backyard wedding just around the corner. But days before she was meant to walk down the aisle, she faced the unimaginable: her daughter was stillborn. In this deeply personal and courageous conversation, she opens up about what came next; grappling with grief, navigating systems that weren’t built for moments like this, and trying to stay afloat when everything felt like it was sinking. From Centrelink confusion and being forced back to work too soon, to finding moments of light in Taylor Swift concerts, this is a story of love, loss, and learning how to begin again.

MTG pushes a weather modification ban which has us asking: Is that what caused the devastating storm?
