Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, Hunter welcomes listeners to the fifth day of December and guides us through a heartfelt reading of Ephesians chapters 1 through 4—a slight detour to make things right after a mix-up with the daily scripture readings. As your faithful Bible reading coach, Hunter invites you to journey together through these transformative passages, emphasizing the profound truth of our new identity in Christ. Blending the wisdom of scripture with relatable reflections—think "wax on, wax off" from The Karate Kid—Hunter reminds us that the Christian life is about putting on who we truly are in Christ and letting go of what no longer defines us. The episode flows into a time of prayer, encouragement, and practical updates, including a shoutout about the new Daily Radio Bible app designed to make sharing the podcast even easier. Join Hunter as we dig deep into God's word, pray for one another, and remember that, no matter what, you are loved—no doubt about it. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Wax on, Wax off. Do you remember those words from Mr. Miyagi to Danielson in the movie Karate Kid? This passage in Ephesians today has a way of bringing that idea to mind. Our Christian life starts by putting on what we are, much like the "wax on" of the film, learning who we are in Christ—putting it on, letting it shape us. Paul spends the better part of these chapters in Ephesians reminding us who we are, encouraging us to put it on. We are in Christ. God has made us new in Christ. He took those of us who were not his people and made us his own. He took those who were not citizens and made us citizens. He adopted us as his very children. All by means of his death on the cross. This is what he's done for us. He forgave our sins, made us new by his grace. And that, my friend, is what you are: you are his, you are in him. So put that on. God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. That is who you are. Put that on. The Christian life begins and ends, and includes everything in between, by putting on Christ, living out who you already are. That's the invitation—wax on. But then comes wax off. We need to take off what we no longer are. You are not your old self. You are not the sum of all your old failures, your old feelings, lusts, desires, regrets, and shames from the past. No, take it off. That's not who you are. Put on who he says you are in him. It's by living out who you truly are that you'll have the power to put away what you're not. It doesn't go the other way around. It doesn't start with us trying to get rid of all the old stuff in order to finally live who we are. No, it begins with understanding and living in your true identity in Christ. Then you'll have the power, perspective, and presence of God within you to enable you to live that life, to take off what needs to be taken off. You can't muster this up by trying really hard. There's no physical, spiritual, emotional, or psychological regime that can equip you well en TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.

Researchers from the Max Planck Institute and the University of Chicago have analyzed isotopic compositions of Earth and Moon rocks, suggesting that Theia was likely composed of materials found closer to the Sun than Earth's orbit. This discovery sheds light on the nature of this celestial body and its dramatic impact on our planet's history.Lucy Mission Update: Journey to Jupiter's TrojansNASA's Lucy spacecraft, launched in October 2021, is on an ambitious 12-year mission to explore Jupiter's Trojan asteroids. These ancient remnants from the solar system's formation are crucial for understanding planetary development. Lucy will visit seven asteroids, including both leading and trailing Trojan swarms, providing unprecedented insights into the early solar system. Principal Investigator Hal Levison emphasizes that the mission will revolutionize our understanding of planetary formation and the origins of volatiles and organics on terrestrial planets.Starliner Mission Limited to CargoIn a significant setback, NASA has announced that Boeing's Starliner spacecraft will only carry cargo on its next mission to the International Space Station. This decision follows a series of technical issues that plagued Starliner's previous flights. With the total number of planned missions reduced from six to four, NASA aims to ensure safety and reliability before allowing crewed flights again.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesJournal of ScienceNASA ReportsMax Planck Institute StudiesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.
This week, we get 'For Real' with Eric Hirshberg, the former CEO of Activision and Deutsch LA, whose world is now centered around music. Known for leading iconic franchises like Call of Duty, Guitar Hero, Skylanders, and Destiny, Eric shares how music has run alongside his career and ultimately inspired his new single, “For Real,” the second of his collaborations with GRAMMY-nominated soul artist Aloe Blacc (their first was 2024's “I Love Not Drinking”). We dive into how Eric blends his folk and Americana roots with Aloe's soulful style, creating music that feels authentic for both artists while carrying a message about stepping back from negativity and the pressures of social media. Our conversation also offers a glimpse into Eric's upcoming 2026 album, More Is Not The Answer, and how “For Real” sets the tone for what's to come. Along the way, we explore the songs that define him and his unique perspective on building a creative life that bridges technology, business, and music.

This week on My Weekly Mixtape, I'm reflecting on the songs that shaped my love of music — as well as the person who made it all possible, my father, who we sadly lost to pancreatic cancer earlier this year. In this episode, I'm diving into 20 tracks that I'm eternally grateful & thankful for. Each one is tied to a moment, memory, lesson, or simply a staple of the famed “Friday Night Music Night” events I would enjoy with my parents growing up. The songs he shared with me growing up, taught me how to listen to music — and, now in hindsight, also taught me how music can truly bridge generations. I love you Dad. If this episode resonated with you, please consider a donation to the American Cancer Society, so hopefully one day we can end this horrible disease once and for all.

The Dept of Labor confirms that Americans were being replaced in the work field. Trump is set to push homeownership thru the roof with a 50 year mortgage. Trump has the solution to the affordability crisis that the [CB] created, get rid of the [CB]. Trump is dismantling the [DS] world wide. The criminal syndicate was setup in many countries to make it virtually impossible to dismantle. But it is being done through peace through strength. The [DS] system is being strangled and soon those who have been held captive will be removed or come to heel. Trump is now setting the stage to bring the [DS] to justice. He has now voided out 92% of Biden orders, which means judges, other nominees will be removed. Justice is coming and the [DS] players are panicking. Economy Interesting Development – Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney Announces New Limits on Foreign Steel and Aluminum, With New 25% Tariff on Steel Derivative Components Prime Minister Mark Carney is conceding defeat to President Trump and positioning the Canadian economy to be compliant with U.S-Mexico trade regulations. However, Carney is not saying that, indeed he cannot; he's spent over a year telling Canadians that President Trump's trade and economic demands are not going to be accepted by Canada. However, what he is factually doing is exactly what President Trump has demanded. Prime Minister Carney is saying he is restricting Steel and Aluminum imports from non-free trade agreement countries, and he is lowering the tonnage of Steel and Aluminum that will be permitted for import. His claim is that this approach will help drive up “domestic demand” for Canadian Steel and Aluminum, but that's ancillary to the real objective. President Trump has demanded Canada stop importing cheap steel and aluminum mostly from China; including manufactured component goods that are made with steel and aluminum (think autos). Canada would not stop, because they could not stop. Their manufacturing base, green energy and climate change economy, is more of a component assembly system now. So, President Trump hit Canada with a 35% tariff, and things got ugly. In June Trump raised the tariff to 50%. The back and forth has gone on all year. Carney now announces restrictions on imported steel and aluminum, as well as restrictions on imported derivative goods that come from steel and aluminum, in combination with a spending plan to bolster the Canadian steel and aluminum manufacturing base. This ends up shifting the Canadian industrial sector to making steel and aluminum products without Chinese import dependency.

DOGE Trump White House Unleashes Media Bias Tracker to Crush Fake News Narratives The Trump administration has launched a brand-new “Media Bias Tracker” directly on the White House website. Unveiled on Friday, this tool is designed to call out and document the endless stream of false, misleading, and biased stories peddled by outlets that have spent years attacking President Donald Trump and his agenda. According to the White House, the tracker serves as a “record of the media's false and misleading stories flagged by The White House.” The tracker highlights “offenses” from major news publications, including an “Offender Hall of Shame” and a leaderboard ranking the worst culprits in spreading misinformation. Described as “a race to the bottom,” this feature ranks outlets based on repeat offenses. Topping the Hall of Shame list is The Washington Post, followed by rebranded leftist mouthpieces like MSNBC (now MS NOW), CBS News, CNN, The New York Times, Politico, and The Wall Street Journal. In response to their top spot, a spokesperson for the Washington Post said, “The Washington Post is proud of its accurate, rigorous journalism.” The page also features a “Media Offender of the Week,” currently blasting outlets for exaggerating Trump's calls to hold Democrats accountable for their seditious behavior.

Her exact words (full clip attached): “I don't think many of the tech mafia wives realize… they were used to set the groundwork for what Klaus Schwab calls The Great Reset. Their money especially was being conscripted through a network of NGO advisors, Hollywood, Davos, and their own companies. A really small group of people… completely blind to how their groundwork is being used to enable these Great Reset policies.” Then she turns the knife inward: “These women find their meaning through philanthropic work. I really believed I was helping Black communities and indigenous communities rise up. But now the problems have gotten worse. Crime worse. Mental health worse. The whole model is broken. At the end of the day they always go: ‘But climate change.'

Antifa extremists descended on an AfD youth event in Giessen, attacking attendees and Bundestag member Julian Schmidt in a coordinated effort to intimidate the rising populist party. Germany has faced a wave of Antifa terror: doxxing AfD addresses, firebombing cars and threatening families. Mike Benz says Antifa is part of a transnational Marxist network weaponized since Trump's 2016 victory to shield globalist interests by attacking democratic populist movements across the West. Violence increases as AfD gains support. War/Peace roads. His chief opponent is Rixi Moncada, who says Fidel Castro is her idol. Normally, the smart people of Honduras, would reject her, and elect Tito Asfura, but the Communists are trying to trick the people by running a third Candidate, Salvador Nasralla. Nasralla is no friend of Freedom. A borderline Communist, he helped Xiomara Castro by running as her Vice President. He won, and helped Castro win. Then he resigned, and is now pretending to be an anti-Communist only for the purposes of splitting Asfura's vote. The people of Honduras must not be tricked again. The only real friend of Freedom in Honduras is Tito Asfura. Tito and I can work together to fight the Narcocommunists, and bring needed aid to the people of Honduras. I cannot work with Moncada and the Communists, and Nasralla is not a reliable partner for Freedom, and cannot be trusted. I hope the people of Honduras vote for Freedom and Democracy, and elect Tito Asfura, President! potential, of Honduras! Additionally, I will be granting a Full and Complete Pardon to Former President Juan Orlando Hernandez who has been, according to many people that I greatly respect, treated very harshly and unfairly. This cannot be allowed to happen, especially now, after Tito Asfura wins the Election, when Honduras will be on its way to Great Political and Financial Success.

You stretch the term until it covers anything that suits your goal of weakening the security apparatus and pushing Trump out of office. People see that. They see you. That you all are walking free and making those posts trying to advance a color revolution is the ultimate proof that Trump is not an authoritarian… he is far too lenient. https://twitter.com/CynicalPublius/status/1994807665147744671?s=20 https://twitter.com/SecWar/status/1994552598142038358?s=20 intended to be “lethal, kinetic strikes.” The declared intent is to stop lethal drugs, destroy narco-boats, and kill the narco-terrorists who are poisoning the American people.

The Washington Post begins writing the story. C) a Soros-funded NGO puts billboards up encouraging military personnel to report unlawful orders… although there are no unlawful orders identified. D) out of nowhere, the Seditious Six – which includes one presidential hopeful and one former IC member who had direct involvement in the original attempt to destroy Trump – delivers to social media a “don't give up the ship” video – a public service announcement to all personnel to refuse unlawful orders. *** the video was funded and produced a Soros funded NGO. E) Senator Slotkin, the former CIA ghoul, goes on the news and is very careful to state that she can't identify any unlawful orders that have been given. F) boom, the WaPo delivers the story claiming unlawful orders. G) Friday evening, everyone on the left hits social media – with paid amplification – about the unlawful orders. H) the Sunday shows will be filled with calls for war crimes charges, impeachments, and resignations. All a coincidence, right? None of it was coordinated, right? Not all civil wars happen on the battlefield. https://twitter.com/PeteHegseth/status/1994553202767700041?s=20 https://twitter.com/sentdefender/status/1994957376764424644?s=20 House through a number of channels, with ongoing discussions about what future communication between the two countries might look like, multiple administration officials told CNN. Venezuela Issues Statement After President Trump Orders All Aircraft to Avoid Regime-Controlled Airspace In Venezuela's statement, the regime accused the United States of attempting to “intimidate Venezuela” and framed Trump's announcement as an attack on Latin America as a whole. The press release ignored every factual concern raised by U.S. intelligence, including increased military involvement in cocaine transport and the regime's long-standing partnership with the Cartel of the Suns. Today's outburst from the Maduro regime is another example of Venezuela deflecting blame while its role in regional crime expands. Meanwhile, President Trump's position is clear: protect international aviation, disrupt drug networks, and stop allowing a criminal regime to use its airspace as a staging ground.

Who do you think really armed the Venezuelan “gangs” that flooded swing states right before the election? Who flew the untraceable Gulfstreams full of product and kids out of Maturín and Maiquetía while Biden looked the other way? Same people who ran Iran-Contra, fast-forward 40 years. Trump isn't just closing airspace, he's cutting the oxygen to the deep-state money laundering superhighway that's been funding black sites, color revolutions, and child trafficking networks across the hemisphere.

Many are struggling with discernment, but the strategic reality is simple: Maduro hasn't controlled Venezuela for years. The deep state held the reins. Then the guardians caught him, flipped him and weaponized the façade of control against the deep state. They may publicly acknowledge it; they may bury it. But the aftermath will speak for itself. In the days immediately following his surrender or “death,” watch the information floodgates burst wide open…especially involving U.S. elections. The timing will be surgical. The disclosures will be coordinated. And the narrative collapse will be unmistakable. Zelensky’s Sacked Top Aide ‘Escapes’ To Front-Line To ‘Hide’ From Corruption Investigators Andriy Yermak, the man who until just over 24 hours ago was Zelensky’s right hand man and the president’s top most powerful aid as chief of staff, and Ukraine’s appointed chief negotiator with the US on the peace process, is going to the front lines, apparently to “fight”. After his home and offices were raided by Ukraine’s anti-corruption investigators Friday related to the ongoing massive energy sector kickback scandal, Yermak announced by text message to The New York Post, “I'm going to the front and am prepared for any reprisals.” He followed with, “I am an honest and decent person.” According to the lengthy analysis [emphasis ZH]: Zelensky's fixer, enforcer, gatekeeper, and indispensable ally, isn't a “corruption scandal.” It's Washington slapping the table. NABU, the U.S.-trained attack dog of Ukrainian politics, didn't raid the Presidential Office by accident.It raided to remind Zelensky that the war isn't his to command, the peace process isn't his to veto, and the leash around Bankova Street is held in Washington, not Kiev and certainly not European chihuahuas. Because the real story isn't Yermak's resignation. The real story is the West turning on itself over how to end a war Russia has already won.

The bureau said that the classified information was stashed away in a room at FBI Headquarters and was related to Crossfire Hurricane and also other FBI inquiries into President Donald Trump and his allies. Patel previously said that the FBI had found “several bags” containing evidence related to the Russiagate investigation. One electronic communication made public by the Justice Department in court filings related to the prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey earlier this month indicated the FBI began a preliminary investigation into the discovery this summer.

Trump has now declared all autopen-signed executive actions “NULL AND VOID” and threatened Biden with perjury charges if he claims he authorized them.

Millions of dollars have been spent on a new speedway track at Auckland's Waikaraka Park and drivers say it's a win for the racing community. It comes after Auckland Council's controversial decision to end nearly 100 years of speedway racing at Western Springs and move all speedway to Onehunga. Construction has finished up just in time for the first Auckland race of the 2025-2026 speedway season this Saturday. Jessica Hopkins spoke to drivers after they tested out the track for the first time this morning.

Transcript:Ca: En una tarda grisa de tardor, l'aire era fresc als afores de Barcelona.En: On a gray autumn afternoon, the air was fresh on the outskirts of Barcelona.Ca: Una vella fàbrica abandonada dominava el paisatge.En: An old abandoned factory dominated the landscape.Ca: El ferro oxidat i les finestres trencades feien que semblés un gegant adormit.En: The rusted iron and broken windows made it look like a sleeping giant.Ca: Cada nit, una misteriosa remor sortia de dins.En: Every night, a mysterious noise emanated from within.Ca: Els veïns escoltaven el so, però ningú tenia el valor d'investigar.En: The neighbors heard the sound, but no one had the courage to investigate.Ca: Nil, un noi curiós i analític, s'havia adonat que coincidia amb unes desaparicions recents a la zona.En: Nil, a curious and analytical young man, had noticed that it coincided with some recent disappearances in the area.Ca: Decidit a desxifrar el misteri, va buscar l'ajuda de Martí, el seu amic de tota la vida, i Júlia, una nova veïna dotada d'una valentia sorprenent.En: Determined to unravel the mystery, he sought the help of Martí, his lifelong friend, and Júlia, a new neighbor gifted with surprising bravery.Ca: "Martí, tu coneixes de mecànica.En: "Martí, you know about mechanics.Ca: Pots ajudar-nos si hi ha alguna cosa estranya allà dins", va dir Nil.En: You can help us if there's something strange in there," said Nil.Ca: "No estic segur d'això, Nil.En: "I'm not sure about this, Nil.Ca: Però si tu creus que és important, t'acompanyaré", va respondre Martí, amb un toc d'escepticisme.En: But if you think it's important, I'll go with you," responded Martí, with a touch of skepticism.Ca: Júlia, emocionada per l'aventura, va dir: "Crec que podria ser una llegenda urbana, però estic disposada a descobrir-ho.En: Júlia, excited about the adventure, said, "I think it could be an urban legend, but I'm willing to find out."Ca: "Així que, en una nit de novembre, van decidir investigar.En: So one night in November, they decided to investigate.Ca: Mentre s'apropaven a la fàbrica, la brisa feia ballar les fulles caigudes al seu voltant.En: As they approached the factory, the breeze made the fallen leaves dance around them.Ca: Els tres amics estaven alerta i una mica espantats.En: The three friends were alert and a little scared.Ca: Un cop dins, el soroll, un eco llunyà i constant, els va guiar cap a una porta mig amagada.En: Once inside, the noise, a distant and constant echo, guided them to a half-hidden door.Ca: Sota la porta, unes escales portaven a un soterrani fosc.En: Beneath the door, stairs led to a dark basement.Ca: A mesura que baixaven, la por es barrejava amb la curiositat.En: As they descended, fear mingled with curiosity.Ca: En aquell soterrani, hi havia equips estranys i proves suficients d'activitats il·lícites.En: In that basement, there were strange equipment and enough evidence of illicit activities.Ca: Caixes plenes de documents i roba indicaven una operació més sinistra del que havien imaginat.En: Boxes full of documents and clothing indicated an operation more sinister than they had imagined.Ca: Entenien que era un lloc utilitzat per tràfic d'éssers humans.En: They understood that it was a place used for human trafficking.Ca: Nil, Martí i Júlia van fotografiar tot el que van poder.En: Nil, Martí, and Júlia photographed everything they could.Ca: Sabien que aquesta vegada no deixarien que les seves preocupacions es desestimessin.En: They knew this time their concerns would not be dismissed.Ca: Amb les proves, van córrer cap a les autoritats locals.En: With the evidence, they ran to the local authorities.Ca: Uns dies després, gràcies a la seva informació, la policia va fer un registre al magatzem.En: A few days later, thanks to their information, the police raided the warehouse.Ca: Van descobrir una xarxa de tràfic de persones que operava allà.En: They uncovered a human trafficking network operating there.Ca: Nil, Martí i Júlia van ser lloats per la seva valentia i determinació.En: Nil, Martí, and Júlia were praised for their bravery and determination.Ca: Aquest esdeveniment va canviar els tres amics.En: This event changed the three friends.Ca: Nil es va adonar que confiar en la seva intuïció era essencial.En: Nil realized that trusting his intuition was essential.Ca: Martí va aprendre la importància de la lleialtat i Júlia va veure el poder de treballar en equip.En: Martí learned the importance of loyalty, and Júlia saw the power of teamwork.Ca: La vella fàbrica abandonada encara estava allà, però ara, els veïns no temien el seu misteri.En: The old abandoned factory was still there, but now, the neighbors no longer feared its mystery.Ca: Gràcies a tres joves

(00:00:00) Cosmic Clues Beneath Us: The Mantle's Role in Life and the Milky Way Unveiled (00:00:47) Mysterious structures within Earth's mantle may hold clues to life (00:05:05) A new unprecedented view of the Milky Way Galaxy (00:12:36) Stranded Chinese taikonauts return safely to Earth (00:14:21) The Science Report (00:16:58) Skeptics guide to the return of the haunted doll. In this episode of SpaceTime, we uncover groundbreaking insights into Earth's mysteries and the cosmos beyond.Mysterious Structures in Earth's MantleA new study reveals that enigmatic structures within Earth's mantle may hold vital clues about why our planet evolved the conditions necessary for life. These massive formations, known as large low shear velocity provinces and ultra low velocity zones, reside at the boundary between the mantle and outer core, approximately 2,900 kilometres beneath the surface. The research suggests these anomalies could be remnants of Earth's formative processes, providing a deeper understanding of how elements from the core influenced the planet's cooling, volcanic activity, and atmospheric evolution, ultimately setting Earth apart from Venus and Mars.Unprecedented View of the Milky WayAstronomers have achieved a remarkable new perspective of our home galaxy, the Milky Way, with the largest low-frequency radio image ever assembled. This extensive survey, conducted using the Murchison Wide Field Array radio telescope in Western Australia, captures the intricate birth, evolution, and demise of stars across the southern hemisphere. The new image, which boasts double the resolution and tenfold sensitivity compared to previous observations, offers valuable insights into stellar interactions and the cosmic landscape, revealing patterns in star formation and supernova remnants.Successful Return of Stranded TaikonautsIn a significant development, the three Chinese taikonauts stranded in orbit after their Shenzhou 20 spacecraft was struck by space debris have safely returned to Earth aboard the Shenzhou 21 capsule. The crew's return marks the end of a six-month mission at the Tiangong space station, with their extended stay setting a new record for the longest duration in space for Chinese astronauts. The episode highlights the challenges of space travel and the rapid response by Beijing to ensure crew safety.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesNature GeosciencePublications of the Astronomical Society of AustraliaNew England Journal of MedicineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.

This week, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, I'm reflecting on the songs that shaped my love of music — as well as the person who made it all possible, my father, who we sadly lost to pancreatic cancer earlier this year. In this episode, I'm diving into 20 tracks that I'm eternally grateful & thankful for. Each one is tied to a moment, memory, lesson, or simply a staple of the famed “Friday Night Music Night” events I would enjoy with my parents growing up. The songs he shared with me growing up, taught me how to listen to music — and, now in hindsight, also taught me how music can truly bridge generations. I love you Dad. If this episode resonated with you, please consider a donation to the American Cancer Society, so hopefully one day we can end this horrible disease once and for all.

This episode BT delves into the rich spiritual and mythological landscape of the Vikings, exploring their beliefs about fate, free will, and the cosmic struggle embodied in the concept of Ragnarok. It highlights the interconnectedness of their spirituality with the material world, the significance of language and ritual, and the dynamic relationship between humans and the divine. With a comparison between the Viking Myth and Dr Michael Heisers' Divine Council Worldview, BT paints an image that the Vikings might have lived in a world where the divine forces were really part of their day.
In this lesson, we explore the biblical teaching commonly called Calvinism—more properly, the Doctrines of Grace. Following chapter 6 of Dr. Hicks' book, we will examine the five points (Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace, and Perseverance of the Saints) as a faithful summary of how God sovereignly and graciously saves sinners from start to finish, all to the praise of His glorious grace.This series works to provide a positive, biblical case for key beliefs, including the sufficiency of Scripture, salvation by grace alone, justification by faith, covenant theology, Calvinism, the regulative principle of worship, and more—tracing their roots from the early church through the Reformation and Puritan eras.Our weekly Sunday School live stream begins every Lord's Day at 9:30 AM (US Central Time).About Reformed Baptist Church of McKinneyWe are a Christ-centered, Bible-believing church in McKinney, Texas, committed to the glory of God through expository preaching, sound doctrine, and vibrant fellowship.

We break down how cartel-backed assassinations of high-ranking Mexican officials highlight the stakes, discuss the flow of U.S. military equipment into cartel hands, and examine the threats facing American cities like Chicago, Portland, and Los Angeles. With Trump's warnings and tactical responses under the microscope, listeners get a front-row seat to the shadow war unfolding on both sides of the border.

Send us a textDid Vatican II require the priest to face the people? Short answer: no.In this episode, we unpack *ad orientem*—what it is, what the Roman Missal actually says, and why the Church's worship faces the Lord.— EPISODE SUMMARY —Fr. Dan and Ken walk through the Church's teaching and practice on Mass orientation. We clarify common misconceptions about Vatican II, explain the idea of “liturgical East,” look at the Roman Missal rubrics that tell the priest when to turn and face the people, and review the year-2000 Vatican clarification that versus populum is an option—not an obligation. Pastoral takeaways: mutual openness, reverence, and a vertical focus on God.— KEY POINTS —• What “ad orientem” means: priest and people facing the Lord together • “Liturgical East”: crucifix/tabernacle as our shared focus • Vatican II: what it did—and did **not**—say about orientation • 1964 instruction on freestanding altars: an option for celebration facing the people • Roman Missal rubrics: why “turn to face the people” appears (and what that implies) • 2000 clarification (CDW): facing the people is **not** obligatory • Benedict XVI (Cardinal Ratzinger): avoid labels; seek the best realization of the liturgy • Pastoral how-to: reintroducing ad orientem prudently and catechetically— QUOTES/REFERENCES —• Michael Lang, *Turning Towards the Lord* (foreword by Joseph Ratzinger) • General Instruction / Roman Missal rubrics (on turning to face the people) • CDW, 2000 clarification on celebration facing the people— CHAPTERS —00:00 Intro — Ad Orientem Unveiled: What Vatican II Really Taught01:04 Homily begins: Fr Dan Yasinski: What Vatican II didn't say03:08 What “Ad Orientem” means & it's historical significance 05:28 Why “Liturgical East” matters (crucifix & tabernacle as focus)06:21 Does the Church allow for Ad Orientem?09:53 Benedict XVI (Ratzinger): mutual openness, not labels11:38 Interview with Fr Dan Begins - Did Vatican ask priest to face the people?15:36 Q&A segment: What are the rubrics? 18:24 How are the rubrics over looked?19:58 Why are the instructions from the Vatican on Ad Orientem ignored?22:32 Responding to the critics of Ad Orientem worship27:27 Is Ad Orientem worship non-inclusive?30:46 Conclusion & invitation: “We turn to the Lord”If this blessed you, please follow/rate the show and share it with a friend.

In this lesson, we'll expose the errors of legalism (adding obedience to the law as any part of our justification) and antinomianism (rejecting the moral law as a binding rule of life for believers), while affirming the righteous obedience that necessarily flows from justification by faith alone (chapter 5 of Tom Hicks' book).This series works to provide a positive, biblical case for key beliefs, including the sufficiency of Scripture, salvation by grace alone, justification by faith, covenant theology, Calvinism, the regulative principle of worship, and more—tracing their roots from the early church through the Reformation and Puritan eras.Our weekly Sunday School live stream begins every Lord's Day at 9:30 AM (US Central Time).- About Reformed Baptist Church of McKinneyWe are a Christ-centered, Bible-believing church in McKinney, Texas, committed to the glory of God through expository preaching, sound doctrine, and vibrant fellowship.

Philippine Missile Deployment to Deter China. Captain Jim Fanell reports that the Philippines unveiled its first operational BrahMos anti-ship cruise missile battery in western Luzon to deter Chinese aggression. This supersonic missile system, part of the $7.2 billion Reorizon 3 modernization program, gives the Philippines "skin in the game" near disputed waters like Scarborough Shoal. The deployment signifies a strategy to turn the Philippines into a "porcupine," focusing defense on the West Philippine Sea. The systems are road-mobile, making them difficult to target. 1915 MANILA

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, Tuesday's election results were no surprise because the Democrats immigration strategy to change the demographics and citizenry, without assimilation, has worked. NYC will decline, the question is by how much and Virginia is now part of the federal government. If the election was about affordability why did NJ vote to increase their property taxes and energy bills? Also, America is at a critical juncture, threatened by Marxist Islamists on the extreme left and the extreme right. These evil forces collude to dismantle the greatest nation ever, embodying freedom, diversity, tolerance, just law, and decentralized power, inherited through ancestral sacrifices. They embrace tyrants like Hitler, Stalin, Qatar's leaders, Iran, and Putin, aiming to impose ideologies, religions, or third-world status. We need to reject and deplatform enablers in media, think tanks, and organizations profiting from hate, Marxism, Islamism, antisemitism, or anti-Christianity via market forces. Later, neither the law nor the Constitution prohibits a President from imposing tariffs, which can serve purposes like rebuilding industries, countering foreign tariffs, or ensuring national security. Congress holds the power of the purse and could pass statutes to limit presidential tariff authority, but it has not done so, making judicial intervention unnecessary and a potential separation of powers issue. The Court should refrain from involvement, as any limits would come from congressional action or voter disapproval. Afterward, Dinesh D'Souza calls in to explain the danger of Tucker Carlson, who is driving a wedge between Christians and Jews, America and Israel, and the pillars of Western civilization, which harms Trump, MAGA, and the Republican Party by inviting bigotries like anti-Semitism. Finally, Eli Sharabi, a former Hamas hostage from Kibbutz Berry, calls in to share his story of what happened of October 7th and beyond in his new book, Hostage. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0063489791/ During his 14-month captivity in tunnels, he lost over 60 pounds and bonded closely with fellow hostages, sharing daily conversations about their childhoods, families, friends, and hobbies to survive. They developed strategies for dealing with captors and analyzed them constantly. Throughout, they maintained unwavering hope and faith, believing it was only a matter of time before Israel, through the IDF, secret services, and leadership, would secure their release.
