Podcasts about Rome

How did the Phoenicians create the alphabet we still use today? Was the Bronze Age collapse comparable to the fall of Rome? What does DNA evidence tell us about the origins of the Philistines and Israelites? William is joined by Professor Eric Cline, author of 1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed and After 1177 B.C.: The Survival Of Civilizations, to explore the era of recovery that followed the Bronze Age collapse and the new world which emerged from its ashes.  Join the Empire Club: Unlock the full Empire experience – with bonus episodes, ad-free listening, early access to miniseries and live show tickets, exclusive book discounts, a members-only newsletter, and access to our private Discord chatroom.

On today's page, Menachot 46, the rabbis are talking about priestly life in Yavne, the town that became Judaism's unlikely headquarters after Rome burned Jerusalem to the ground. It's a story that starts with a scholar smuggling himself out of a besieged city and ends with three surprisingly wise requests that have a lot to say about how any of us survive upheaval. When everything breaks, what do you actually rebuild first? Listen and find out.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to stand firm in your beliefs when everything around you feels dangerous and uncertain? In this episode of Seek Go Create, Tim Winders dives into the powerful and urgent letter of Jude, written during a time when false teachers threatened to twist grace into license and turn the early church upside down. Discover the historical context of AD 64, as Rome burns and Christians face persecution, and find out why Jude's warning is as relevant today as it was then. Tune in to explore how this short letter packs a serious punch—and what it means to truly contend for the faith without becoming contentious.“Jude isn't being polite, he's being pastoral.” - Tim WindersAccess all show and episode resources HEREEpisode Resources:NT90 Hub – This is the central website for the 90-day New Testament reading plan, with downloadable, printable plans, background information, and links to all episodes and resources.Episode Highlights:00:00 Introduction and Overview00:50 Context and Background of Jude01:59 Historical Context and Persecution03:36 Urgency and Themes in Jude05:42 Warnings and Symbolism in Jude08:03 Conclusion and Next Steps

“What are the limits of Church authority?” This question opens a discussion on the role and boundaries of ecclesiastical power, while also addressing related topics such as the authority of the Bible versus Church tradition and the implications of using AI in homilies. Other questions touch on the origins of purgatory and the complexities of religious freedom in a diverse society. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 04:59 – What would be a good response to a Protestant asking why the Bible isn't the final authority? 12:27 – Pope Leo said priests should not use AI to prepare homilies. Would the pope have authority to limit or govern the Church's use of AI in the future? 19:17 – A Protestant might say that when the early church first started calling itself Catholic, that was really a “small c” kind of Catholic. It wasn't really the Church united under a bishop of Rome. How do we respond to that? 23:25 – Where do we get the idea of purgatory? 30:36 – I am autistic. Are we able to use AI to study the scriptures? 36:39 – Why do we believe in religious freedom? It seems like that gives other religions a kind of tactical advantage? Why not just have the government say that everyone should be Christian? 42:01 – A priest told me questioning the authority of the Church is blasphemy. Is that really true? If that's the case then how would you guys be able to have this discussion right now without blaspheming? 47:51 – Can you explain what's going on with the SSPX right now? If the pope is the authority I don't see why these bishops are disobeying him.

In this first live Q&A of our Lent 2025 series ⁠Jesus in Galilee⁠, Dom and I work through 35 questions from the more than 2,000 people who have joined the class — and true to form, Dom tries to honor every single one of them. The conversation ranges from the silver cups of Boscoreale to the Gulf of Mexico, from Josephus's gritted-teeth defense of Judaism to what a State of the Union address might look like if Jesus gave it tonight. Dom argues that the apocalyptic imagination is, bluntly, a loss of faith; that coinage was the only real mass media of antiquity; that nonviolent resistance was invented — not borrowed — in first-century Judea; and that if you want to understand what an autocrat is planning, read very carefully what the autocrat accuses his opponents of. It is, in other words, exactly the kind of conversation I look forward to all year. ⁠If you want in on the rest of the series — the lectures, the live Q&As, and the full archive — head to CrossanClass.com⁠. ⁠You can WATCH the conversation YouTube⁠ ⁠ONLINE LENT CLASS: Jesus in Galilee w/ John Dominic Crossan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ What can we actually know about Jesus of Nazareth?

In 1538, a man named Geoffrey Pole was arrested and taken to the Tower of London. He hadn't plotted against Henry VIII. He hadn't raised an army. He'd written letters to his brother and said, once, that he wished he could see him. That was enough. What followed was one of the most psychologically devastating interrogations of the Tudor period, and one of the least talked about. Over seven sessions, Geoffrey gave evidence that brought down his entire family: his brother Lord Montagu, his cousin Henry Courtenay the Marquess of Exeter, and eventually his 67-year-old mother Margaret Pole, the last surviving Plantagenet. He survived. He was pardoned. He spent the next twenty years in exile carrying what he'd done. This is not really a spy story. It's a story about what surveillance states actually run on, not information, but fear. And about the brother who burned the family from a safe distance in Rome and somehow came out of it as Archbishop of Canterbury. Tudor history has been calling Geoffrey Pole weak for five centuries. I want to make the case that we don't get to say that from here.

Why does condemnation feel so automatic?In this episode, John explores how shame and judgment often operate through what sociologists call status degradation rituals, the subtle ways we lower others to elevate ourselves.Drawing on insights from Harold Garfinkel, John shows how condemnation works socially, emotionally, and spiritually. Then he walks us through powerful Gospel moments where Jesus reverses the pattern:• the sinful woman at Simon's house• the prodigal son welcomed home• Jesus washing his disciples' feet• and ultimately, the cross itselfYou'll learn:- how condemnation functions as a social ritual- why Jesus chooses downward mobility- how humility defeats hostility- what Philippians 2 reveals about real greatness- how serving others rewires the heartJohn also reflects on how crucifixion was designed by Rome as the ultimate humiliation — and how Jesus voluntarily enters that suffering to defeat condemnation once and for all.The invitation is simple and brave:come to Jesus in humility,serve instead of shame,and help elevate the people around you.Because there really is now no condemnation.

Their religious potential is no less strong; rather, it is expressed through the new capacities of their own stage of development.” - Sofia Cavalletti, The History of the Kingdom of God, Part 1, Pg. 173  Rebekah joins us on the podcast today to discuss the Spiral Method and how it applies to our work in CGS.   Rebekah Rojcewicz is a catechist and formation leader in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd having completed her training in 1981 in Rome with Dr. Sofia Cavalletti and Gianna Gobbi. She has translated several of their books and articles from the original Italian and has written and edited various parts of the CGS core texts. She is also the author of Life in the Vine: The Joyful Journey Continues. Rebekah is a catechist at her parish, St. Patrick Catholic Church, and for the Missionaries of Charity atrium in Memphis, Tennessee. She serves on the formation advisory council for CGSUSA, as well as on the International Board for the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd.    Characteristic #3 - The atrium is a community in which children and adults live together a religious experience which facilitates participation in the wider community of the family, the church, and other social spheres.  The atrium is a place of prayer, in which work and study spontaneously become meditation, contemplation, and prayer.  The atrium is a place in which the only Teacher is Christ; both children and adults place themselves in a listening stance before his Word and seek to penetrate the mystery of the liturgical celebration.      “The pilgrimage of faith is not a journey in a straight line with death waiting at the end, but a kind of spiral through which progress is made only in successively deeper experiences of death and rebirth.” - Mark Searle    Books you might be interested in:  The Religious Potential of the Child 6 to 12 Year Olds  History of the Kingdom of God Part 1: Creation to Parouisa  History of the Kingdom of God Part 2: Liturgy and the Building of the Kingdom  Life in the Vine: The Joyful Journey Continues    Podcast Episodes you might be interested in:  Episode 42 – The Mystery of Time  Episode 57 – Celebrating the Life of Tina Lilig      TINA LILIG MEMORIAL FUND  During the month of February, we remember our first national director, Valentina Lillig, and we honor her legacy by encouraging generosity to the Tina Lillig Memorial Fund.     The mission of the Tina Lillig Memorial Fund is to support the growth and development of Catechesis of the Good Shepherd through catechist formation, missionary outreach, and the work of the United States Association of The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGSUSA). To these ends, the TLM Fund offers a source of financial aid (in the form of partial scholarships) to applicants who would find paying the full tuition of a course to be a hardship.    If you or your community needs scholarship or grant support for formation, please visit our website and apply [this could be a link in the show notes].

This book serves as a companion to the second volume, The Religious Potential of the Child 6 to 12 Years Old. The desire to have this essential text available in audio has been a long-held goal for many.

Hoe werkte het Romeinse recht onder de keizers van de Severische dynastie? Dat horen we in deze aflevering uitgebreid van professor dr. mr. Elsemieke Daalder van de Universiteit van Münster! We richten ons in deze aflevering dan met name op de heerschappijen van de keizers Septimius Severus en zijn opvolger Caracalla, waarbij we een interessante bron tot onze beschikking hebben die ons een kijkje vóór én achter de schermen biedt bij enkele zaken die werden voorgelegd aan Septimius Severus. Die bron is het werk van Julius Paulus, waarover Elsemieke uitgebreid vertelt... en over nog veel meer!Shownotes

The Daily Philip is a devotion of prayer to the Patron Saint of Joy, St. Philip Neri, led by Fr. Malone, parochial vicar of Christ the Redeemer Parish in Swift Current. This devotion has four parts: (1) a daily prayer for a particular virtue, based on the day of the week, to which Pope Pius IX has attached an indulgence (dated May 17, 1852,); (2) a reading from The Life of St. Philip Neri, Apostle of Rome; (3) a quote from The Maxims and Counsels of St. Philip Neri; and (4) the daily prayer for a good death.    For Wednesday Prayer to obtain the Love of God. St. Philip, I am filled with wonder at the great miracle which was wrought in thee by the Holy Spirit when He poured into thy heart such a flood of heavenly charity, that in order to contain it two of thy ribs were broken by the power of Divine love; and I am confounded when I compare thy heart with mine own.  I see thy heart all burning with love; and mine, all frozen and taken up with creatures.  I see thine inflamed with a fire from heaven, which so filled thy body that it radiated like flames from thy countenance; while mine is full of earthly love.  I love the world, which allures me and can never make me happy; I love the flesh, which ever wears me with its cares, and can never render me immortal; I love riches, which I can enjoy but for a moment.  O when shall I learn of thee to love nothing but God, my incomprehensible and only Good!  Help me, then, blessed Patron, that by thy intercession I may begin at once: obtain for me an efficacious love, manifesting itself by works; a pure love, making me love God most perfectly; a strong love, enabling me to surmount all obstacles hindering my union with God in life, that so I may be wholly united to Him for ever after my death. Our Father…, Hail Mary…, Glory Be…   Prayer to be said daily, for a good death. O glorious Saint Philip, faithful helper of thy dying children, be thou my father and protector in the hour of my death. Let not the devil overcome me; let not temptation oppress me, nor fear overwhelm me in that hour; but grant through thy intercession that, fortified by faith, hope, and charity, I may bear all things with patience and perseverance, and may happily die the death of the just. Amen.

“Face au ciel” Paul Huet en son tempsau Musée de la Vie romantique, Parisdu 14 février au 30 août 2026Entretien avec Gaëlle Rio, conservatrice générale du Patrimoine, directrice du Musée de la Vie Romantique, et co-commissaire de l'exposition,par Anne-Frédérique Fer, à Paris, le 24 février 2026, durée 40'22,© FranceFineArt.https://francefineart.com/2026/02/25/3693_paul-huet_musee-de-la-vie-romantique/Communiqué de presseCommissariat :Gaëlle Rio, conservatrice générale du patrimoine, directrice du musée de la Vie romantiqueDominique Lobstein, commissaire scientifique de l'exposition« Face au ciel, Paul Huet en son temps » présente l'œuvre de l'artiste Paul Huet (1803-1869) à travers le motif pictural du ciel. Peintre encore peu connu du grand public, ce proche d'Ary Scheffer est souvent considéré comme l'un des précurseurs du paysage romantique en France. Inspiré par les grands maîtres anglais comme Constable et Turner, il exprime dans ses œuvres les émotions et la puissance de la nature en rompant avec la tradition classique.Qualifié de « pré-impressionniste », Paul Huet a marqué son temps et influencé de nombreux artistes paysagistes comme Camille Corot. Son œuvre et son expérience de la peinture de ciel sont mises en regard de celles de ses contemporains afin de mieux apprécier sa singularité et son rôle dans cette époque foisonnante. Grâce à de nombreux prêts issus des collections publiques françaises, ses ciels sont ainsi présentés aux côtés de ceux de Paul Flandrin, Eugène Delacroix, Théodore Rousseau, Georges Michel, Eugène Isabey ou Eugène Boudin.À la découverte du paysageLongtemps, la peinture de paysage a été considérée comme un genre mineur, simple décor dépourvu de véritable sujet. À la fin du XVIIIe siècle, sous l'impulsion du peintre Pierre-Henri de Valenciennes et de ses publications, la pratique du paysage évolue et attire l'attention d'un nombre croissant d'artistes. En 1816, grâce à son influence, l'Académie des beaux-arts crée le prix de Rome de paysage historique. Organisé tous les quatre ans, ce concours reflète l'enseignement de l'École des beaux-arts et les traités alors en vigueur, qui imposent des compositions très codifiées. Ces règles strictes – intégration obligatoire d'un sujet historique ou mythologique, structure du paysage normée, usage des couleurs défini – sont de plus en plus perçues comme un frein à l'invention. Jugé trop rigide, le prix est finalement supprimé en 1863. Plusieurs événements contribuent également à faire évoluer la peinture de paysage. Les artistes découvrent d'abord la peinture anglaise – celle de Constable, Turner ou Bonington –, admirée pour sa lumière et sa spontanéité bien avant sa présentation remarquée au Salon de 1824. Par ailleurs, les artistes dits « réalistes » s'éloignent des traditions académiques et proposent une nouvelle approche de la représentation de la nature. Ils travaillent sur le motif, directement face au paysage, et s'inspirent des observations scientifiques sur la lumière et les phénomènes atmosphériques.[...]Réouverture du Musée de la Vie RomantiqueAprès 17 mois de travaux, le musée de la Vie romantique s'apprête à rouvrir ses portes au public le 14 février prochain. Depuis septembre 2024, le musée — accompagné par Basalt Architecture et l'atelier àkiko Designers — mène une opération majeure de restauration de la maison et des ateliers du peintre Ary Scheffer.[...] Hébergé par Acast.

The cage breaks open. Caravaggio breaks with it.Chained in a torture chamber beneath the fortress, Caravaggio faces the Grand Master one last time. Faith against flesh. Obedience against desire. What follows is an escape down a fortress wall, a boat in the dark, and a fugitive painter running not toward freedom but toward the only thing he has left.Act Three is the fall. Brutal. Beautiful. Inevitable.Sicily. Caravaggio paints like a man on fire. In Syracuse, a burial. In Messina, a nativity. Each canvas more desperate than the last. Each one a confession he cannot say out loud. The genius is still there. The man holding the brush is disappearing.Back in Rome, the news arrives. Lena. The woman whose face launched his greatest work. Gone. Caravaggio learns what it costs to leave someone behind in a city that devours the unprotected.Cardinal Del Monte makes his final play. A pardon. A real one. Signed by the Pope himself. But the pardon needs a delivery and Caravaggio needs to stay alive long enough to receive it.Naples. A prison cell. Malaria. Chains. The Grand Master finds him one last time. Two men who could never say what they meant finally say it. It is too late for both of them.Then a swamp. Bandits. A boiling sun. A beach. A boy. Two nuns. And the Tyrrhenian coast, where the greatest painter of his generation reaches for the light one final time.The pardon arrives. The man does not.Act Three is reckoning. Loss. Grace. The moment the fuse runs out.What you see in the art, you will find in the artist. What you see in the artist, you will find in the man.Cast Dennis Kleinman · Narrator Craig Parker · Caravaggio Dan Lauria · Cardinal Del Monte Bruce Davison · Alof de Wignacourt Shaan Sharma · Stefano della Croce Catherine Lidstone · Lena Sarah Elmaleh · Maria Brendan Bradley · Annibale Carracci Noah James · Ranuccio Tomassoni Josh Sterling · Ottavio Tomassoni Zeke Alton · Giovan Tomassoni Nick Monteleone · Mancini Matt Curtin · Toppa Bjorn Johnson · Pope Paul V Ray Abruzzo · Pope Clement VIIIWritten by Richard VetereExecutive Produced by Jack Levy, Shaan Sharma, and Mark KnellTable Read is a Manifest Media production.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In 2004, the quiet community of Rome, Georgia was shaken by a crime that made no sense.Thad Reynolds was young, kind, and full of promise — the kind of person people describe as having “no enemies.” But in a shocking act of violence, his life was taken in a case that left family, friends, and investigators searching for answers.Intro music by Joe Buck YourselfHosts Heather and Dylanwww.mountainmurderspodcast.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mountain-murders--3281847/support.

Ancient Greece and Rome are venerated throughout our society — including by the far right. Is this a misappropriation and misuse of the ideals of Greco-Roman antiquity? Classical scholar Curtis Dozier argues that when white nationalists appeal to ancient thinkers to justify their reactionary ideas, there is surprisingly much to draw from.

This podcast explores Rome and its architectural/ritual infrastructure as a case study in how hierarchical control gets physically instantiated — using the body, confession, and sacred spaces as binding mechanisms for shame and compliance. It moves through the QP mechanics of why extreme recursive pain requires physical experience to collapse, and how religious and group abuse structures weaponize that principle through restraint, dissociation, and identity reprogramming. This episode closes with the idea that the era of the apex teacher/guru as burden-bearer for collective consciousness is ending — the weight is now being distributed to the collective itself — and contextualizes this shift within a broader Revelation-cycle framework, pointing toward 2025–2030 as a restructuring window where humanity moves either toward tighter control grids or decentralized, frequency-frequency living.Welcome to SuperFreq® — Frequency-First LivingA podcast, Substack publication + channel dedicated to decoding the hidden patterns beneath behavior, identity, and reality itself.

If you think you know Fettuccine Alfredo, you may want to think again. Recently I sat down inside one of Rome's most historic restaurants, Il Vero Alfredo, to talk about the true story behind this iconic dish. My guest was Chiara Cuomo, the fourth generation of the family behind the restaurant. What I discovered is that the real Fettuccine Alfredo is far simpler, more elegant, and far more meaningful than most people realize.   Tune in for the rest of this magnificent story!

Is the modern "resurrection" of Christian ideology a spiritual awakening—or a manufactured tool for a new forever war?On this episode, we examine why the American public is being bombarded with specific talking points regarding “White-Christian, Western philosophy.” From Michael Moore's claims about the greatest threats to Israel to Newsmax's attempt to tether the very idea of civilization to a single religious identity, a political push for war with Iran is rewriting history in real-time. But beyond the politics lies a deeper, ancient truth. Much of the confusion is a result of literalisms, interpreting the symbolic stories as real. The powerful and knowing all-seeing eye is also the "I AM" and it currently blinded by calls for war and bigotry. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Send a textExplore the chaotic and visionary mind of Philip K. Dick, the legendary author behind Blade Runner, Total Recall, and Minority Report. In this episode of The Day's Grimm, Brian Michael Day and Thomas Grimm dive deep into a life that was arguably weirder than the science fiction stories it inspired.From the tragic infancy of his twin sister to his final days on the cusp of Hollywood fame, Philip K. Dick (PKD) lived on the edge of reality. We examine the "amphetamine-fueled" writing sessions where he produced up to 11 novels in two years, his five failed marriages, and the deep-seated paranoia that led him to believe the FBI was monitoring his every move.A central focus of this deep dive is the bizarre 1974 "2-3-74" event, where Dick claimed a pink beam of light transmitted divine information directly into his brain. This experience sparked an 8,000-page journal known as the Exegesis, where he wrestled with questions about ancient Rome, Gnosticism, and the nature of our reality—decades before "The Matrix" made these concepts mainstream.Whether he was a prophetic genius or a man struggling with substance-induced psychosis, PKD's influence on modern pop culture is undeniable. Join us as we break down the drugs, the delusions, and the legacy of the man who dared to ask: "What is real?" If you enjoyed this deep dive into PKD's chaotic life, hit the subscribe button and drop a comment below letting us know which author or historical figure we should cover next! TIMELINE: 00:00 - Introduction to Philip K.

The Daily Philip is a devotion of prayer to the Patron Saint of Joy, St. Philip Neri, led by Fr. Malone, parochial vicar of Christ the Redeemer Parish in Swift Current. This devotion has four parts: (1) a daily prayer for a particular virtue, based on the day of the week, to which Pope Pius IX has attached an indulgence (dated May 17, 1852,); (2) a reading from The Life of St. Philip Neri, Apostle of Rome; (3) a quote from The Maxims and Counsels of St. Philip Neri; and (4) the daily prayer for a good death.    For Tuesday Prayer to obtain the virtue of Purity. St. Philip, who didst always preserve the white lily of thy purity unsullied, with such great honour to thyself that the brightness of this fair virtue dwelt in thine eyes, shone forth from thy hands, and cast its fragrance over thy whole body, causing it to emit so sweet a perfume that it gave consolation, fervour, and devotion to all who conversed with thee; obtain me from the Holy Spirit of God so true a love for that virtue, that neither the words nor bad examples of sinners may ever make any impression upon my soul.  Never permit me in any way to lose that lovely virtue; and since avoidance of occasions, prayer, labour, humility, frequent use of the Sacraments, were the arms with which thou didst conquer the flesh, which is our worst enemy, so do thou obtain for me grace to use the same arms to vanquish the same foe.  Take not away thy help from me; but be as zealous for me as thou wast during thy life for thy penitents, keeping them far removed from all sensual infection.  Do this for me, my holy Patron; and be ever my protector in respect of this fair virtue. Our Father…, Hail Mary…, Glory Be…   Prayer to be said daily, for a good death. O glorious Saint Philip, faithful helper of thy dying children, be thou my father and protector in the hour of my death. Let not the devil overcome me; let not temptation oppress me, nor fear overwhelm me in that hour; but grant through thy intercession that, fortified by faith, hope, and charity, I may bear all things with patience and perseverance, and may happily die the death of the just. Amen.

From the deserts of Central Asia to the gates of ancient China, from the bazaars of Persia to the harbours of the Mediterranean, the Silk Roads were never just one route. A living network of paths, mountain passes, and caravan trails, they carried not only silk and spices, but stories, beliefs, technologies, and ideas that would reshape entire civilisations. For more than a thousand years, they connected worlds that might otherwise never have met, and, in doing so, transformed them. The Silk Roads have witnessed empires rise and crumble, faiths spread and evolve, and cultures meet, merge, and create anew.   But what drove people to risk their lives travelling them? How did they impact the disparate worlds they joined together? And why, even today, do the Silk Roads still matter? This is a Short History Of The Silk Roads. A Noiser podcast production.

Rome didn't collapse overnight.It made a decision.In 211 AD, Emperor Septimius Severus gave his sons a final piece of advice:“Enrich the soldiers and despise all others.”That sentence rewired the Roman economy.Military pay exploded. Silver coins were quietly debased. Taxes strained. Inflation spiraled. And within fifty years, Rome's currency was mostly copper wearing a thin silver mask.This wasn't an accident. It was arithmetic.In this episode, we break down:• The Praetorian Guard auctioning the empire • The 50% pay raise that destabilized the treasury • How Roman currency debasement really worked • Caracalla's Antoninianus and hidden inflation • Why the Third Century Crisis began with payroll Rome didn't fall because of barbarians.It fell because it taught itself that money was negotiable.History doesn't repeat. But it does rhyme.Subscribe to see the pattern before it repeats again.

Lately it seems like lots of Americans are moving abroad. But, believe it or not, some American expats are moving back to the States. Today we're joined by one such ex-expat, or repatriate. Seattle-native Brie Ripley has been on the show before. We first interviewed her back in 2024 after she moved to Rome without ever having been there before. She joined us again about sixe months later, after she had settled in. And today we sit down with her to talk about why she and her husband decided to move back to the US and what it's been like to repatriate at such a time in history. She reminisces about the things she misses about Rome, discusses what led to the decision to leave that sometimes feels like a mistake, and shares her thoughts about what it feels like to leave a place just as you're starting to feel at home now. She also talks about what it feels like to move back to a country that in many ways you can't recognize, how her priorities have shifted after living in Europe, and the realities of culture shock.

Cymbeline also had two sons of his own, Guiderius and Arviragus, and a daughter named Imogen. His two sons were kidnapped when they were young and have never been found. Cymbeline's wife died and he married a new queen, who had a son named Cloten. He wants Imogen to marry Cloten but she defies him by marrying Posthumus instead. The couple secretly exchange a ring and bracelet before Cymbeline banishes Posthumus in fury. Cloten tries to pick a fight with Posthumus but Posthumus avoids the conflict, choosing to go to his father's old friend Philario in Rome, and leaving his servant, Pisanio, behind with Imogen. Cloten boasts of his bravery as his servant ridicules him under his breath. Once in Rome, Posthumus meets a nobleman named Iachimo and a Frenchman who recalls Posthumus describing Imogen as fairer than the fairest ladies in France. Iachimo scoffs at this and wagers with Posthumus that he can seduce Imogen, betting against the ring that Imogen gave her husband.

We're three weeks into the Six Nations and England's hopes of winning the tournament are up in flames after they were hammered by Ireland at Twickenham.Alan and Charles are joined in studio by the Telegraph's Dan Schofield to unpack the defeat and look at how England can salvage what is left of their Six Nations campaign.It was a bittersweet afternoon for England captain Maro Itoje. He won his 100th cap for his country but was withdrawn early once again and Dan thinks it's time he was given a six-month sabbatical from the game to ensure he is at his best for the World Cup next year.We also ask what has happened to the England lineout, and why is their defence so easy to penetrate?As for Ireland, that performance instantly changes the narrative around Andy Farrell's side. There's high praise for Stuart McCloskey too who has been their standout player of the tournament so far.Elsewhere we ask if Wales fans will be happy despite defeat to Scotland in Cardiff, can anyone stop France winning a Grand Slam and we tackle your questions as usual.

In this sobering message from Matthew 12:9-14, we witness the moment the Pharisees cross the line from opposition to murderous conspiracy against Jesus—all because He healed a man on the Sabbath. By asking, "Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath?" Jesus exposed their hardness of heart and demonstrated that He is indeed Lord of the Sabbath. But the healing itself isn't the main point; it's a sign of God's love and a confrontation of idolatry. The Pharisees valued their rules over people, their sheep over the sheep of God's flock, and their religious system over the Messiah Himself. In their darkened hearts, they conspired with their enemies—the Herodians, the Sadducees, and eventually Rome—to destroy Jesus. This passage reminds us that we still live in a world of darkness, spiritual attack, and conspiracy. But the answer to darkness is light: Jesus, the Word made flesh, the Good Shepherd who cares for His sheep. Whether you're under spiritual attack or actually partnering with darkness this message calls you back to the Light—the One who overcomes all darkness.

Acts 28:1-16 Paul on Malta After we were brought safely through, we then learned that the island was called Malta. 2 The native people showed us unusual kindness, for they kindled a fire and welcomed us all, because it had begun to rain and was cold. 3 When Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and put them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened on his hand. 4 When the native people saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer. Though he has escaped from the sea, Justice has not allowed him to live.” 5 He, however, shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no harm. 6 They were waiting for him to swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But when they had waited a long time and saw no misfortune come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god. 7 Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us and entertained us hospitably for three days. 8 It happened that the father of Publius lay sick with fever and dysentery. And Paul visited him and prayed, and putting his hands on him, healed him. 9 And when this had taken place, the rest of the people on the island who had diseases also came and were cured. 10 They also honored us greatly, and when we were about to sail, they put on board whatever we needed. Paul Arrives at Rome 11 After three months we set sail in a ship that had wintered in the island, a ship of Alexandria, with the twin gods as a figurehead. 12 Putting in at Syracuse, we stayed there for three days. 13 And from there we made a circuit and arrived at Rhegium. And after one day a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli. 14 There we found brothers and were invited to stay with them for seven days. And so we came to Rome. 15 And the brothers there, when they heard about us, came as far as the Forum of Appius and Three Taverns to meet us. On seeing them, Paul thanked God and took courage. 16 And when we came into Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself, with the soldier who guarded him.

Episode 267 How We Learn From OthersSensers! I believe there's so many people that we meet in life as well as so many cultures and customs we come across.  I also believe the various cutlures provide many ways for us to learn from the differences in which we come from in families and other forms of social groups.  Ask yourself, what's something that you've learned from other cultures outside of your own?“If you can change one thing, then you change everything”, I believe most of us have heard this when it comes to things we would change about our past. However, looking back at how our lives went, what is something that you would have actually changed?  There's much ground to go over in our minds when it comes to that, but what would you do?Expressing yourself in a perfect world seems so simple to accomplish, but in reality we all have dealt with the fears that our own worlds have put on us causing us to not say what we actually feel for fear of rejection or possibly that we might just get what we ask for emotionally.  Telling how you feel to someone who feels they don't deserve love causing them to retort to old habits of chasing what does not love them.  Confusing and frustrating one can be from experiencing such, but that's humans in short.

Send a textSeven Days That Changed The World The Donkey, The Cross, And The Crowd | Part 1 Senior Pastor Keith StewartFebruary 22, 2026On Palm Sunday, the crowds shouted “Hosanna,” waved palm branches, and welcomed Jesus as King. But they wanted a conqueror with a hammer—not a Savior riding a donkey. What they celebrated on Sunday, they rejected by Friday because Jesus refused to meet their expectations. He did not come to overthrow Rome; He came to overthrow sin. The question remains for us: will we follow the King we want—or the Lamb who came to save?Discussion Questions1. Observation: Seeing What the Text Reveals Why do you think all four Gospel writers included the Triumphal Entry? What does that tell us about its importance? What different biblical connections to the donkey did you notice (Zechariah, Abraham and Isaac, Solomon)? What do those layers communicate about Jesus?What political expectations were present in Jerusalem during Passover? How did palm branches, cloaks, and the word “Hosanna” reflect those expectations?2. Interpretation: Understanding the Meaning What message was Jesus intentionally sending by riding a donkey instead of a war horse? How does that redefine power? The crowd welcomed Jesus as King but rejected Him as Savior. What is the difference between enthusiasm and genuine faith?3. Personal Reflection: Examining the Heart In what ways do people today (including Christians) project their own expectations onto Jesus? Where are you most tempted to want “Air Force One Jesus” instead of “Donkey Jesus”? The crowd wanted deliverance from Rome; Jesus came to deal with sin. What problems in your life feel urgent but may not be the root issue? Jesus entered Jerusalem on Lamb Selection Day. If He stood before you today asking for your allegiance, what would it mean practically to choose the Lamb instead of the hammer?

Life often makes us believe that all good things must come to an end, leaving us feeling hopeless and defeated. However, the story of the early church in Acts reveals a different truth. When Paul was imprisoned in Rome, what appeared to be the end of his ministry actually became the beginning of the gospel spreading throughout the entire Roman Empire. Even in chains, Paul continued proclaiming the good news with boldness. The gospel represents a type of goodness that cannot be stopped, contained, or defeated because it is rooted in Jesus Christ rather than temporary circumstances. When we anchor our hope in Christ's eternal goodness instead of fleeting situations, we discover that the good truly goes on.

Billions, miserliness, and a severed ear! This episode of History's Greatest Idiots (featuring The Hungry Historian) explores the extraordinary life of Jean Paul Getty, the oil tycoon who became the richest man in the world, installed a payphone in his mansion for guests, and refused to pay ransom whilst his kidnapped grandson's ear was being cut off.The Golden Child Who Disappointed Daddy:Born in 1892 to oilman George Franklin Getty, young J. Paul made his first million at age 23, then quit to party in Hollywood dating film stars including the Gish sisters, Norma Talmadge, and Gloria Swanson. He married and divorced three women within a decade. His father was appalled. When George Getty died in 1930, he left an estate worth $10 million. J. Paul inherited just $500,000. His mother received the rest. It was a pointed snub that would define Getty's entire life.The Great Depression Bargain Hunter:Determined to prove his father wrong, Getty bought up distressed oil company stocks during the Depression. He boasted to an acquaintance: "I just fleeced my mother" after persuading her to give him control of her trust fund. In 1949, he gambled $9.5 million on mineral rights to a barren Saudi Arabian desert called the Neutral Zone. Other oil companies thought he was mad. In 1953, oil was discovered. The field produced 16 million barrels yearly. By 1966, Getty was the world's wealthiest private citizen, worth $1.2 billion (approximately $70 billion in today's purchasing power).The Miser of Sutton Place:Getty settled at Sutton Place, a Tudor estate near Guildford. He filled it with priceless art, then installed a payphone in the entrance hall because he worried guests might make long-distance calls. He haggled over garden barrows. He reused string. He was married and divorced five times, had five sons, and was a terrible father. His son George Getty II died from a drug and alcohol-induced stroke. His son J. Paul Getty Jr. became a heroin addict.The Kidnapping:On 10th July 1973, 16-year-old John Paul Getty III was kidnapped in Rome by the 'Ndrangheta crime organization. They demanded $17 million. Getty refused to pay, suspecting his grandson was faking it. For months, Paul was held in a cave, blindfolded and beaten. In November 1973, kidnappers sent Paul's severed ear to an Italian newspaper with a letter: "This is Paul's first ear. If within ten days the family still believes this is a joke, then the other ear will arrive. In other words, he will arrive in little bits." Only then did Getty negotiate. He agreed to pay $2.2 million (the maximum tax-deductible amount under U.S. law). He then lent the remaining $800,000 to his son at four percent interest. Getty wrote off his portion as a tax deduction. When Paul was rescued, Getty refused to come to the phone. Paul never recovered, suffering a stroke in 1981 that left him paralyzed and nearly blind for 36 years until his death in 2011.Getty proved you could have all the money in the world and still be absolutely miserable whilst making everyone around you miserable too. He died wealthy and alone, having haggled over his grandson's ear, installed payphones for guests, and left behind a company that charges fees for photographs it doesn't own.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/HistorysGreatestIdiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Artist: Sarah Chey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.fiverr.com/sarahchey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
