What have you gotten us into? This is your fault. A dragon. A devil. A deal. The party finds themselves in the soggy, stolen mansion of the dragon Ripthorne.

A man described elsewhere as “a man after God's own heart” falls into a devastating chain of sin that begins with a moment of compromise and leads to adultery, deception, and ultimately murder. In this verse-by-verse Bible study, we explore: Why David stayed behind in Jerusalem while his army went to war How small moments of spiritual negligence can open the door to major sin The progression from temptation to adultery with Bathsheba David's attempts to cover his sin by manipulating Uriah The tragic decision that led to Uriah's death What this passage teaches about the deceitfulness of sin Why even the most faithful believers must guard their hearts 2 Samuel 11 reminds us that no one is above temptation, and that sin often grows through a series of small compromises rather than one sudden decision. But it also prepares us for the powerful story of repentance and restoration that follows in David's life. If you want to understand how spiritual leaders fall, how sin progresses, and how believers can guard themselves against similar traps, this passage offers critical wisdom.

Paul and Silas are beaten, imprisoned, and placed in stocks — yet at midnight they are praying and singing hymns to God. What happens next changes everything. In this teaching, we explore: Why gratitude and praise must become a lifestyle — not just a reaction The power of worship in the middle of suffering How God uses faithful praise to impact others The dramatic conversion of the Philippian jailer “What must I do to be saved?” — the simplicity of the gospel Why Paul confronted the magistrates about their unlawful beating What this passage teaches about how Christians should respond to political authority and injustice If you're walking through difficulty, wrestling with injustice, or wondering how your faith impacts those around you, this passage is for you.

Send a textMark Osborne is the host of The Valiant Forge, a podcast created for Christian men who want to grow in their faith through honest, grounded conversation. His work centers on biblical masculinity, spiritual leadership, and the quiet battles men often fight alone.  Mark's story includes a late-life wake-up call marked by a health scare, depression, and a season of spiritual dryness that led to a renewed faith and restored marriage. That season reshaped how he understands manhood, obedience, and what it means to lead with humility and courage.  He approaches conversations not as an expert, but as a fellow traveler, speaking openly about fatherhood, failure, emotional health, addiction recovery, forgiveness, and Scripture lived out in everyday life. Mark brings a steady, thoughtful presence and values discussions that go deeper than surface-level answers, always pointing back to Christ with honesty and grace. His website:  https://www.thevaliantforge.com/His podcast:  https://open.spotify.com/episode/1NOP0AuscqJSlU9M0GElKy?si=l_4WgZy1TJC9SYFe_m9P4QContact US:  Rumble/ YouTube/ IG: @powerofmanpodcastEmail: powerofmanpodcast@gmail.com.Twitter: @rorypaquetteSTART YOUR OWN MEN"S MOVEMENT!  We NEED more men to LEAD!  Join us here to learn how!   https://www.facebook.com/groups/490821906341560/?ref=share_group_linkYou have VALUE!  You are WORTH IT!  BELIEVE IT!

Steve Orlando is one of the busiest writers in comics right now, and this week on the AIPT Comics Podcast, we're running our full, uncut conversation with him. Earlier this week, we published a written feature focused on his Scarlet Witch run, but this episode expands far beyond that, covering everything from Deadweight with Bobby Lee to Valiant Beyond: X-O Manowar, DC x AEW, his chance to judge on Dragula Titans season 2, Tarzan Beyond, X-Men Infinity, and even a teased return to Midnighter! If you wanted the complete Orlando download, this is it.   Visit our Patreon page to see the various tiers you can sign up for today to get in on the ground floor of AIPT Patreon.

Dave: The Amazing Spider-Man #23 (Taurin Clarke Cover) Or Maybe Alex: X-Men #26 (Gurihiru Marvel Monster Variant) Interview: Steve Orlando Deadweight (GUNGNIR Publishing) (with Bobby Lee & Matthew Medney) Deadweight sounds completely unhinged in the best way, blending martial arts chaos, horror, and absurdist comedy. When you're co-writing something that springs so directly from Bobby Lee's comedic voice, how do you balance honoring that raw unpredictability while still building a story with emotional stakes and structure? Valiant Beyond: X-O Manowar (out Feb 18) In Valiant Beyond: X-O Manowar, Aric joins the PunX after millennia of isolation, and suddenly honor is tied to community rather than conquest. How has it been carving out your own corner of the Valiant universe? Good Bones Good Bones gathers your horror work into a single anthology, and many of the stories explore queer identity through transformation, secrecy, and bodily autonomy. When you write horror rooted in identity, are you consciously using the genre as metaphor, or does that symbolism emerge naturally through character? Dragula (with Todd McFarlane) You co-judged Dragula alongside Todd McFarlane, which feels like a collision of comics horror and performance art. Did that experience teach you anything about spectacle and theatricality, or inspire you when you're comics work? DC AEW DC and AEW both thrive on spectacle, but they also rely heavily on character-driven drama and long-term storytelling. When writing DC x AEW #1, how did you balance the over-the-top, live-event energy with making sure the character pairings felt emotionally and thematically right, rather than just fun visual mashups? Scarlet Witch Can you talk about or tease the status of Wanda and Vision's relationship as of now? Agatha Harkness is your main antagonist in Sorcerer Supreme, what makes her fun to write? Agatha is the Vishanti's chosen sorcerer supreme, I was curious if you're drawing from any personal life experience having someone be picked over you when writing this story arc? Your run on Scarlet Witch has been released via miniseries, are there advantages (and disadvantages) to this format? Wanda Maximoff has worn a lot of labels over the years—Avenger, sorceress, reality shaper, occasional cosmic wildcard. How do you personally view her place in that ecosystem? Additional General Questions Your bibliography moves fluidly between superhero epics, indie horror, licensed work, and now chaotic comedy with Deadweight. How do you recalibrate your voice between projects without losing what makes a story feel unmistakably yours?

Peut-on vivre éternellement ? Cette semaine on ne vous parle pas d'Highlander dans ComicsDiscovery, mais de dépression éternelle au travers de Blatta de Alberto Ponticelli, à retrouver chez Bliss Comics. Blatta, l'immortalité mais a quel prix ? Avec Alberto Ponticelli, l'Italie est à l'honneur dans ComicsDiscoveryDessinateur italien, Alberto Ponticelli s'est fait connaître dans l'industrie des comics grâce à un trait expressif et souvent sombre. Les lecteurs de ComicsDiscovery ont déjà pu découvrir son travail avec UN3, un récit publié chez Bliss Comics que nous avions déjà abordé dans l'émission. Au fil de sa carrière, l'artiste s'est illustré dans des récits aux thématiques fortes, où la violence du monde et les tourments psychologiques des personnages occupent une place importante. Avec Blatta, il propose une œuvre plus personnelle qui explore la solitude, la dépression et les dérives d'une humanité obsédée par l'immortalité. La quête d'immortalitéBlatta conduit le lecteur au sein d'un monde futuriste où l'humanité a fait un grand sacrifice pour gagner son immortalité. Les relations entre humains ont été bannies et la reproduction ne se fait plus de manière charnelle. Les personnes sont clonées à l'infini et leurs mémoires téléchargées dans leur nouveau corps. On suit l'un de ces derniers humains qui partent à la découverte du monde et de lui-même. Un univers intéressantLa BD propose un questionnement philosophique et psychologique au lecteur. Ponticelli aborde le thème compliqué de la dépression. Il utilise beaucoup le dessin pour exprimer la solitude et le vide ressenti par une personne dépressive. Il en montre également la violence. L'auteur aborde ensuite la question de la perte d'humanisation face aux nouvelles technologies comme l'intelligence artificielle. On y trouve aussi une critique de la société de consommation. Blatta est magnifique. Le coup de crayon de Ponticelli est renversant. Il arrive à faire ressentir la claustrophobie dans laquelle s'est enfermé le personnage pour survivre au travers de petites cases. Celles-ci s'opposent à l'immensité de ces villes dépeuplées. Un comics de dessinateurBien que Blatta offre une belle esthétique, le lecteur ressent ses limites. Ponticelli a voulu proposer trop de thèmes dans son récit, au point que celui-ci perd de sa force. On se demande souvent ce qu'a voulu nous raconter l'auteur et quelques scènes auraient mérité d'être racontées autrement pour éviter les clichés et la violence gratuite. Malgré ses défauts, Blatta reste une œuvre à découvrir pour la beauté de ses traits.

Send a textRecap & Breakdown of HBO's Industry season 4 episode 6,Harper launches her assault on Tender at the Alpha Conference, delivering a devastating short thesis complete with a DCF analysis and sum-of-the-parts valuation. We break down every piece of the finance, from enterprise value vs. equity value, what a price target of zero really means, and the real-world fraud parallels to Enron, Valiant, and Luckin Coffee. We also discuss why Tender's "convertible bond" is actually a putable bond (a la Succession Season 1). Meanwhile, Whitney's relationship with Henry takes some deeply unsettling turns, and cracks in Tender's armor start showing from directions nobody expected. The episode's biggest revelations reshape everything we thought we knew, which would have been unbelievable had it not come directly from the Wirecard scandal. A bunch of our theories come true but sadly...and we discuss new theories and hopes given a shocking exit by one of our characters. With only two episodes left this season, the battle lines are drawn. Whether you're here for the finance masterclass or the character drama, this one has it all.Did you know we have a 25-hour Investment Banking & Private Equity Fundamentals self study that covers exactly what new hires get when they start on Wall Street?

What happens when you take the legend of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight… and turn it into an 80s fantasy fever dream starring a glitter-covered Sean Connery? In this episode of Nerd Legion, we dive into Sword of the Valiant (1984): one of the strangest fantasy adaptations ever made. Featuring Miles O'Keeffe, Peter Cushing, John Rhys-Davies, and Ronald Lacey, this stacked cast somehow delivers one of the most unintentionally hilarious medieval movies of the decade. From animatronic severed heads… to magical invisibility rings… to unicorn-eating knights… to the worst synth soundtrack we've ever heard.  This movie has everything except a coherent moral. Is it terrible? Absolutely.Is it entertaining? Without question. Let's talk glitter armor, bad fight choreography, Arthurian lore, and why Sean Connery keeps taking fantasy roles he “doesn't understand.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What does it mean to stand in total darkness and become a beacon for others? On September 11, 2001, former U.S. Secret Service agent Darin Kinder was inside the World Trade Center complex when the towers fell. He ran from collapsing buildings, guided desperate people toward light in pitch-black debris clouds, and survived one of history's darkest days.But this episode isn't just a 9/11 survival story.Twenty-four years later, Darin shares how that trauma became the backdrop for discovering true purpose, healing through obedience, and a lifelong vow: to live (and one day be buried) in a “dirty suit”—sleeves rolled up, getting into the mess of life for God's glory instead of staying clean and comfortable.In this powerful conversation, Darin opens up about:The moment he stood in an alley amid screams and dust, calling strangers to safety—and the spiritual metaphor he only saw 10 years laterWhy stuffing down pain doesn't work, and how sharing his story brought unexpected healingThe three core traits he's instilling in his four sons (and every man listening): integrity, courage, and compassionProtecting marriage and family during high-stakes seasons (including post-9/11 chaos)His promise to God after seeing “clean suits” vs. “dirty suits” on 9/11—and why he wants every man to reject a passive, shiny lifeIf you're a leader, father, husband, or man feeling the pull toward deeper purpose, this episode is your rallying cry.--Are you struggling to discover your true identity?

Try the BibleACTS app!: https://bibleacts.goodbarber.app Or try Online Bible College here: https://5lxiiva.pushpress.com/open/interested In this episode, we continue our verse-by-verse teaching through 1 Timothy 3:6–7, addressing two often-ignored but critical qualifications for church leadership: a leader must not be a novice and must have a good reputation with those outside the church. We explain why Scripture forbids placing new believers into leadership, and why time is required to prove character, consistency, and spiritual maturity. Leadership in the church is not about gifting or excitement — it is about tested faithfulness over time. In this episode, we discuss: What Paul means by “not a novice” Why spiritual maturity requires time, not talent How pride and premature leadership can lead to downfall Why a leader's reputation among unbelievers matters The necessity of consistent godly character both inside and outside the church Why leadership must be affirmed beyond one's immediate community This episode is essential for: Pastors and elders Aspiring leaders and ministry workers Churches evaluating leadership biblically Believers who want to understand God's standards for leadership Subscribe for more verse-by-verse Bible teaching, biblical theology, and clear conversations on church leadership and discipleship. #1Timothy3 #ChurchLeadership #BiblicalQualifications #BibleTeaching #ChristianPodcast #PastoralLeadership #AboveReproach

We focus especially on: Why church leaders must not be greedy, covetous, or dependent on donations The importance of faithful, honest work outside the church What Scripture means by providing for your own household How a man is to rule his home well, including leadership toward his wife What it means to keep children in submission with dignity and care Why a man who cannot lead his home cannot lead the church This episode explains why these qualifications exist — not as ideals, but as prerequisites — and how ignoring them damages churches, families, and the witness of the gospel. This teaching is especially important for: Pastors and elders Small-group and ministry leaders Men aspiring to leadership in the church Churches seeking biblical clarity on leadership standards Subscribe for more verse-by-verse Bible teaching, biblical theology, and honest conversations about church leadership. #1Timothy3 #ChurchLeadership #BiblicalQualifications #ChristianPodcast #BibleTeaching #PastoralLeadership #AboveReproach

GO HERE for our Online Bible College: https://5lxiiva.pushpress.com/open/interested In this episode, we begin teaching through 1 Timothy 3, focusing on just the first two verses — and they carry massive implications for church leadership today. We discuss why the qualifications for overseers (pastors) in 1 Timothy 3 are prerequisites, not suggestions, and why Scripture does not present them as general goals to “grow into.” If a man does not meet these qualifications, he should not be a pastor — and should not even be leading a small group. In this episode, we explain: Why Paul lists qualifications before discussing duties The danger of lowering biblical standards for leadership How ignoring these qualifications harms churches and believers Why character always comes before gifting What this means for pastors, leaders, and churches today This episode is essential listening for: Pastors and ministry leaders Small group leaders Church members evaluating leadership biblically Anyone serious about following Scripture, not trends Subscribe for more verse-by-verse Bible teaching, theology, and practical Christian leadership conversations.

We Are Starfleet is back with the second part of our Starfleet Academy primer, looking at two episodes set at the Academy and with Starfleet Cadets from the 90s era of Trek.

Just before the new show drops on Paramount+, the crew of WE ARE STARFLEET gets together to take a look at what we might expect from 'STARFLEET ACADEMY' due out January 15, 2026.

In our next episode of the podcast, we talk TNG's THE FIRST DUTY and DS9's VALIANT, two episodes that portray cadets at the academy at their not-so-best.

1 Hour and 14 Minutes With David Nasternak and Alex Drain This Podcast Has a Sponsor: Michigan Law Grad Jonathan Paul is the guy with the C you want skating next to the ref and pleading your case. He's also a good guy to sit next to at the hockey games. Segment 1:  Extensive discussion on the extremely mediocre NHL. Michigan got bludgeoned in the first period of Friday's game yet ended it up 3-0. PSU quit after that and Michigan dominated them. Guaranteed a fierce response on Saturday? Will Horcoff has been awesome this season. Segment 2:  Michigan didn't play a bad game but came up short. Good in-zone defense, less good rush defense. Didn't love the 2nd goal from Ivankovic. Valiant comeback attempt included a sweet deke by Perron. More discussion of McKenna's defensive effort effort problems. Overall an okay weekend. Should the Gophers tank for a good draft pick? How good is Ohio State?    MUSIC NHL on ESPN Theme "Sunburn" -- Fuel Ice Hockey (NES) theme
