SUBSCRIBE! LIKE! SHARE, BABY!If you were ever wondering what we mean when we say that this show suffers from trying to fill 42 minutes…look no further than this episode! In an episode where there is really only two main storylines (the school benefit and Carrie's first date as a widow) we somehow spend a lot of time watching people playing tennis (twice) and hearing Carrie mention over and over how she is the biggest victim. Not sure who the worse person is here: Carrie for not mentioning to Miranda that Che will be present at the benefit tonight or Miranda for never once telling Steve she is unhappy. Either way, you know we are guaranteed our weekly dose of scary humor, so we can all be thankful for that! Enjoy!!!

What does true generosity look like? Is it measured by the size of the gift, or is it something deeper?In Luke 21:1–4, Jesus praises a widow who gave only two small coins. At first glance, her offering seems insignificant compared to the wealthy donors around her. Yet, in Jesus' eyes, her gift was greater than them all. Why? Because God doesn't measure generosity by the amount—it's the heart behind it that matters.The Scene at the TemplePicture the temple courts: the wealthy making large, noticeable contributions, drawing admiration for their gifts. Then comes a poor widow. No fanfare. No applause. Just two copper coins—economically worthless. Yet Jesus declares that she has given more than anyone else.The difference? The wealthy gave from their abundance, gifts that cost them little. The widow gave out of her poverty—all she had to live on. Her gift was not just generous; it was sacrificial, risky, and rooted in trust.This theme echoes throughout Scripture. In 1 Samuel 16:7, the Lord tells Samuel, “Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” Paul also affirms this in 2 Corinthians 8:12: “If the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have.”God doesn't call us to give what we don't have. He calls us to give cheerfully, faithfully, and with hearts surrendered to Him.God Wants Your HeartThe widow's gift also points us to the gospel itself. In 2 Corinthians 8:9 we read, “Though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.” Jesus gave everything for us—holding nothing back. When we give sacrificially, we reflect His love and generosity.Maybe you've felt your giving is too small to matter. But Scripture shows otherwise. In John 6, a boy offered five loaves and two fish—and Jesus fed thousands. The issue isn't what you have, but what God can do with it.Generosity in God's Kingdom isn't about status or size. It's about surrender. A gift given in faith is never small. Whether two coins or two million dollars, the real question is: Am I giving out of abundance or out of trust?The story of the widow's mite isn't meant to pressure us into giving more. Instead, it frees us to see generosity the way God does—not as an economic equation but as an act of worship. He doesn't need your money; He wants your heart.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I lost money in my 401(k) when I became disabled, and now it's sitting in an IRA that isn't earning anything. Should I transfer it to a savings account, and what taxes would I be liable for? Also, since my house is paid off, I'd like to understand how reverse mortgages work.I have just sold my house and would like to know the most prudent way to invest the proceeds. I'm trying to be a good steward, but I'm not sure if a savings account, an IUL, or something else would be best.I'm on permanent federal workers' comp and wondering if I'll still be eligible to draw Social Security when the time comes.My friend hasn't filed taxes for five years. How could that affect her children if she passes away, and what steps can she take to resolve it?I was told that if I move my mortgage into a home equity line of credit and deposit my paychecks there, I could pay it off in seven years. Is that really true?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

New York Times bestselling author Richard Chizmar, “one of horror's indispensable writers” (Paste), and his son W.H. Chizmar, critically acclaimed author of Them (hailed by New York Times bestselling author Josh Malerman as “one of the best debuts I've ever read”) present a riveting found footage narrative about doomed thrill-seekers trapped in a haunted lighthouse.“This is a bad place. I don't think people are meant to live here.”Longtime residents of Harper's Cove believe that something is wrong with the Widow's Point Lighthouse. Some say it's cursed. Others claim it's haunted.Originally built in 1838, three workers were killed during the lighthouse's construction, including one who mysteriously plunged to his death from the catwalk. That tragic accident was never explained, and it was just the beginning of the terror. In the decades that followed, nearly two dozen additional deaths occurred in or around the lighthouse including cold-blooded murder, suicide, unexplained accidents and disappearances, the slaughter of an entire family, and the inexplicable death of a Hollywood starlet who was filming a movie on the grounds.The lighthouse was finally shuttered tight in 1988 and a security fence was erected around the property. No one has been inside since. Until now.Told across two harrowing incidents from 2017 and 2025, those who enter the Widow's Point Lighthouse searching for supernatural proof and the next big thing find themselves cut off from the outside world. And although no one has recently stepped foot inside the structure, they are not alone.In this remarkable collaboration, father and son writing team, Richard and W.H. Chizmar combine forces to tell a terrifying ghost story that will make you think twice about what's waiting for you in the dark.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

Drawing from the example of the widow's mite in Luke 21, they reflect on how this passage shapes our understanding of giving, particularly in the context of diaconal ministry.Much of the discussion centers on the application of the passage as it relates to the work of the deacon, and how the generosity of Jesus Christ should move our hearts toward love and sacrificial giving within the church. Together, they explore the deacon's role in fostering a culture of mercy ministry and faithful giving.Listen in as Chris, John, and Bob offer gospel-centered insights on selfless generosity, financial stewardship and the church's call to care for those in need.Referenced in this episode:Scripture ·       Luke 21:1–4 ·       Psalm 110:1·       Acts 6·       2 Corinthians 9:6–8, 15·       2 Corinthians 8:9·       1 Timothy 5:8·       Philippians 4:11–12·       Philippians 2:1–8·       John Calvin— Institutes' section on prayerOPC Book of Church Order on deacons You can find all of our episodes at thereformeddeacon.org.

Mary Clayton Crow's life has been marked by radical generosity from the very beginning. After coming to faith in the Jesus Movement of the 70s, Mary Clayton's parents freely shared all they had while living in community with other Believers, regularly opening their home to missionaries, and eventually becoming missionaries themselves behind the Iron Curtain. This model of radical generosity set a strong foundation for Mary Clayton's adult life as she lives to “give generously, expecting nothing in return.”   Mary Clayton has a rich passion for relational, spontaneous generosity, often giving away personal items admired by others as a way to express God's love while resisting the trap of materialism. She is also passionate about collaborative giving, and takes part in several giving communities that invest in local ministries, not only with their finances, but with their time and talents as well.   Major Topics Include: Making generosity your own Being stretched and challenged in generosity Wrestling the “elder brother” mentality What does it really mean to expect nothing in return? A Lenten generosity challenge Resisting materialism with generosity  Modeling generosity to your family The power of community giving to local ministries  Guarding against generosity burnout Hearing from the Holy Spirit through other people Creating a visual reminder to give generously QUOTES TO REMEMBER “You can never outgive God. It's going to come back to you 10-fold, 20-fold, 30-fold, 100-fold. And it may not be in dollars and cents, but it will be in joy.” “I love generosity because it makes sharing the gospel so easy.” “Expecting nothing in return means releasing the result and putting it in the Lord's hand.” “We need to detach ourselves from things owning us so we can be stewards of the things God has given us.” “Generous tipping is one of the easiest ways to be an evangelist.” “I'm excited to chase God.” “I'm looking forward to God disrupting my life for new adventures.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Julie Wilson, President of Women Doing Well (see our past interview here) Young Life One Hundred Shares The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW Luke 21:3-4 | The Widow's Offering   And he said, “Truly, I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them.

The decision of whether — or when — to take off your wedding ring after losing a spouse is one of the most personal and emotional choices we face in grief. It's not simply about jewelry; it's about love, identity, and how we choose to honor the life we shared. In this episode, we'll explore the many layers of this struggle: the pressure of outside expectations, the deep symbolism of the ring, and how timing looks different for everyone. I'll also share my own journey with this decision and the private, intentional way I approached removing my ring one year after Colleen's passing. Together, we'll uncover why there is no right or wrong choice — only what feels true for you — and how you can permit yourself to move forward in a way that honors both your love and your grief.

This week on #TrueCrimeTuesday, Gary and Shannon talk about a Wealthy 90210 Widow Found Dead in her home.

I break it down in this episode of the Brad vs Everyone podcast. Plus, a crazy conspiracy theory about Erica Kirk spreads among Christians online and an update on the Jimmy Kimmel saga.

Listen to this episode ad-free for free on Patreon. When love turns to obsession, no one is safe. Meet Monet — beautiful, magnetic, and dangerously unstable. She swears Bryce is her soulmate… even if he tried to have her killed. Now she's back, “healed,” and ready to reclaim what she believes is hers. But there's one problem standing in her way: Bryce's new girlfriend, Rylee. What starts as a chance encounter on a morning run spirals into a web of seduction, betrayal, and deadly games. Rylee is drawn into Monet's intoxicating pull, the past haunts Bryce he thought he buried, and Jacobe — Bryce's best friend — is playing both sides with his own twisted agenda. Every move is calculated. Every secret is deadly. And every desire could cost them their lives. This isn't just a story about passion. It's about obsession, manipulation, and survival. 

Patrick and the Home Team break down the incredible memorial service they attended in Arizona this weekend. Pat highlighted Mrs. Erika Kirk's powerful testimony and how JD Vance admitted that this revival sparked a conversation about Christ in America.

Here's cautionary tale for you, out of China, about a young woman who says she fell in love with an artificial intelligence chatbot. There have been well-publicized instances of people seeking companionship from chatbots and it leading to tragedy. In this instance, it caused heartbreak. The story involves the Chinese AI firm Deepseek which, earlier this year, launched a chatbot that's almost as good as its American rivals. Soon after the launch, a young woman began a conversation with that chatbot. Marketplace's China correspondent Jennifer Pak takes the story from there.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we kicked off our weekly theme of “abundance out of scarcity “ with a discussion about how God provides when it seems that there is nothing. We turned to the phone lines to ask listeners the question, “How did God bring abundance out of your scarcity?” We then had Rachel Faulkner Brown join us to share her faith journey after losing two husbands before she was 31 years old, and the journey of widowhood since then. Rachel is the founder of Never Alone Widows, the largest Christian widow’s ministry in the country. She also hosts the podcast, There is More Podcast, and co-wrote Father’s House, an eight-week video-driven Bible study. She has also written the book, “Widow’s Might: 365 Days of Strength for Grief and Loss- Find Comfort, Hope, and Healing. We also had Lisa Anderson join us to discuss the importance of healthy relationships for singles and how to cultivate and find them. Lisa is the director of Boundless and Young Adults at Focus on the Family. She also hosts The Boundless Show, a national radio program and podcast. She is also the author of “The Dating Manifesto: A Drama-Free Plan for Pursuing Marriage with Purpose.” If you're looking to hear a particular segment from the show, look at the following time stamps: Caller Segment (How did God bring abundance out of your scarcity) [10:31] Rachel Faulkner Brown Interview (Walking with God through Widowhood ) [15:49 ] Lisa Anderson Interview (Healthy Singleness 101) [31:18 ]Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/morningshowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

She holds a J.D. from Stanford Law School and a B.A. in both Economics and Political Science from UC Berkeley, where she was one of six finalists for the University Medal, Berkeley's highest academic distinction. Before falling seriously ill in 2018, Lara worked for two federal judges and practiced high stakes litigation for three years at Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP, where she specialized in intellectual property, antitrust, and contract cases of all kinds.              In 2023, Lara co-founded The Silverman Show—a multifaceted comedy, music, and theology show—and released her debut jazz/pop album as her own music producer in February 2024. In September 2024, she debuted as Mrs. Serious in her solo Armenian comedy show online, amassing upwards of 300,000 views on individual videos on Instagram. Lara's writing has been featured in various respected Christian blogs, where her reflections on faith, suffering, and grace have encouraged readers across diverse audiences. Even as she remains mostly bedridden today, she anchors her unwavering hope in God. To connect with Lara on social media and watch her comedy and music:Facebook page: www.facebook.com/Lara.palanjian.silverman Instagram handle: @larapalanjian Youtube: https://youtu.be/TDcUeQrbVZkAmazon Link to Book: https://www.amazon.com/Singing-Through-Fire-Finding-Surprising/dp/B0FMQZ264W/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0BOOK DESCRIPTION FOR SINGING THROUGH FIRE:Singing Through Fire invites readers into the Job-like true story of a young woman who loses everything and dares to ask why a good God allows it. When Stanford Law graduate Lara Palanjian collapses on her dream job, she never imagines it will lead to four years bedridden or to the love of her life. Enter Matthew Silverman: a witty, wise, and impossibly joyful youth pastor and professor facing terminal cancer. What begins with a few random encounters soon ignites an extraordinary, God-written love story that neither of them saw coming. As their unlikely romance unfolds, Matthew's unshakable faith challenges everything Lara thinks she knows about God's goodness and what it means to walk with Christlike faith, resilience, and joy in the face of overwhelming grief and suffering.

Listen to THIS episode on patreon with this direct link! - PATREONWhen love turns obsessive, The Boy Is Mine delivers a raw and chilling portrait of heartbreak, delusion, and the lengths one woman will go to reclaim what she believes is hers.Michelle (Shira McDuffy) is a complicated woman still entangled in emotional knots over her ex, Anthony (Keenan Hampton). Though years have passed—and betrayals have stacked like bricks—Michelle refuses to let go. When she discovers that Anthony is not only engaged to someone else but also expecting a child with her, Michelle's world fractures. Her heartbreak isn't just emotional—it's existential. In her mind, Anthony is hers… no matter who tries to take him away.As Michelle's reality begins to unravel, so do her boundaries. Her rage simmers under a surface of carefully worded Facebook comments and passive-aggressive conversations with her daughter. But soon, that rage boils into action—and nobody, not her best friend, not her new boyfriend, not even Anthony's own mother (played with calm grace by Lisa Goodman), can stand in her way.While Michelle struggles to maintain control of her life, Anthony tries to move forward with Jazmine, a woman who is everything Michelle is not: calm, grounded, and moving forward. But Anthony's past refuses to stay buried, and Michelle's attempts to stay relevant in his world grow more intense—and more dangerous.The drama unfolds across voiceovers, phone calls, social media snooping, and emotionally charged confrontations, capturing the inner chaos of a woman scorned—and determined to win. Michelle spirals deeper with every scene, testing the loyalty of her children, friends, and the man she can't stop claiming. But is her story one of redemption—or destruction?Shira McDuffy is magnetic as Michelle—funny, delusional, seductive, and terrifying, often all in the same breath. Keenan Hampton brings heartbreak and strength to Anthony, a man caught between duty and desire. And Lisa Goodman is perfectly cast as Mrs. Davis, the poised matriarch forced to confront the fallout of her son's complicated love life.Set against the backdrop of Dallas, this series pulls no punches. The script is raw, intimate, and explosive. It explores themes of postpartum grief, emotional manipulation, generational trauma, and the haunting grip of unhealed love.The Boy Is Mine isn't just a podcast—it's a psychological descent, a social media-age love story gone nuclear. You'll gasp. You'll laugh. You'll squirm. And when you think Michelle can't possibly go further… she does.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/black-widow-podcast--3614545/support.

How should Christians react to political violence? In this deeply reflective episode, Mike Erre and Tim Stafford tackle hard questions about faith, politics, and the role of the church in society. With a week marked by tragedy, including the assassination of Charlie Kirk and a series of shootings, the hosts explore what a kingdom response looks like in these turbulent times.  From condemning all acts of violence equally to affirming the dignity of every human being, they emphasize the need for a cruciformity—a life shaped by the values and teachings of Jesus. They discuss navigating cultural challenges with wisdom, rejecting the polarizing rage economy, and fostering a community rooted in justice, love, and mutual accountability. How can the church rise above partisan responses and embody the upside-down kingdom of God? What does it mean to lament, honor complex legacies, and act with hope amidst despair?  This conversation challenges listeners to rethink their approach to cultural issues, faith, and the call to stand as exiles and strangers in today's society. We encourage and would love your thoughts as we pursue these questions together.
