American Evangelical Christianity is in crisis. The story of how it got here is an important part of this series but there are several reasons so many evangelical Christians are discontent and looking for something else, something with historical roots, with a sense of tradition, with a sense of of transcendence, with reverent worship, and with a deeper view of the sacraments. It is the conviction of the Heidelberg Reformation Association that the answer to the longing for more lies not in Rome or in the Eastern Orthodox traditions but, as it were, in Geneva. In this series we will explore the history, theology, piety and practice of Roman Catholicism and the Eastern Orthodox traditions, and we will compare and contrast those two traditions with historic Reformed theology, piety, and practice.

The Yardbird's Godfrey Townsend is Living a Rock 'n Roll Wet Dream Fourth time IS the charm. After way too many reschedulings, as with all things, this conversation with the Yardbirds' Godfrey Townsend happened exactly when it was intended. Lightning doesn't strike the same spot twice, and this was an electric circus of talk and music perfection. From jumping in at the opening with The Who's Won't Get Fooled Again, to Godfrey's masterpiece of Jeff Beck's, Cause We've Ended as Lovers, from Blow by Blow, which cracked my heart open and left me with goosebumps, in tears… to every single moment in between, this was heaven. I've fostered my share of conversations that have blown my mind; this is amongst the best of the best. For a girl whose moniker was RockGirl back in the day when Godfrey and I met decades ago, this conversation was truly a Rock 'N Roll wet dream. Godfrey not only shares stories with Jack Bruce, John Entwistle, Alan Parsons, Mark Farner, Dave Mason, Joey Molland, Todd Rundgren, Howard Kaylan, The Cowsills, Chuck Negron, The Association, Mark Volman… he's played with them all! And his stories and intimate experiences with them left me breathless. And then there's meeting Clapton, his divine private audience with Pete Townshend, his adorable Jimmy Page encounter and impression, meeting Beck! Has any rockin' stone been left unturned? Dammit, I didn't even ask about Mick and Keith! Next time. And there will be a next time. For the two hours of this, I trust there are so many more unmined gems. If rock's your thing, if you lived through the 60s till now, or just dig the music, Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect $200… hit the play button and hunker down for a wild, fun, and wonderful ride. An inside view from an insider. Consider this the audiobook of Godfrey's sure-to-come bestselling rock memoir. Hachachacha! LOVED IT! Godfrey Townsend Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson Wed, May 6, 5 pm PT, 8 pm ET Streamed Live on my FB, YouTube & LinkedIn

There is a truth about work that has been lost to much of our culture since the creation of the world. It is that GOD CREATED WORK. He created work for us, to do together and for HIS glory. Genesis 2:19 - "So the Lord God formed from the ground all the wild animals and all the birds of the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would call them, and the man chose a name for each one." Work is NOT a PUNISHMENT, it's a GIFT. And God wants to JOIN US in it. Every day. He DELIGHTS in it. He is our team-mate, just as He was with Adam. He brought the animals TO Adam to name. So how about YOU? Won't you invite God to work WITH YOU today? WHEREVER He has placed you?
Rebecca Fordon unpacks vibe coding and the eight AI teaching tools she built in a single semester on episode 623 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Until they get into my class, and then they see there actually are some good, legitimate uses. -Rebecca Fordon If you want to mess with things on your own, you can really just ask AI: How do I do that?

David McKnight unpacks the five most common objections to Roth conversions and why they simply don't hold up under scrutiny. The first objection has to do with people not wanting to voluntarily pay taxes before the IRS requires them to. While on the surface, postponing this may sound logical, it ignores a fundamental aspect: the state of the U.S. national debt. It has just passed $39 trillion, and it's slated to grow by $2 trillion per year for the next 10 years, and $3 trillion after that. In other words, interest on the national debt is becoming one of the largest line items in the federal budget. That means that by refusing to pay taxes today, you're making an insanely risky bet that taxes in the future will be lower than they are right now. All, while your IRA keeps growing and compounding over time. Thus, 10 years from now, not only could tax rates be higher, but your required minimum distributions could be dramatically larger. The second most common objection to Roth conversions revolves around people saying, "If I do Roth conversions, that additional income will force me to pay increasingly higher levels of IRMAA or cause my Social Security to be taxed." David points out that Roth conversions do increase your taxable income, which can trigger those additional expenses during the conversion period. However, while it's true that you'll pay IRMAA and Social Security taxation in the short term, you'll get rid of those additional expenses for the rest of your life once your conversion period is over. Objection #3 is "There's too much opportunity cost, I won't have time to make up for the taxes I paid". David explains that, despite sounding sophisticated, this objection is based on a flawed premise. Your IRA is a "business partnership" with the IRS – and every year they get to vote on what percentage of your profits they get to keep. So, when you do a Roth conversion, you're not losing money. You're simply buying out your "silent business partner" at today's historically low tax rates. David highlights that, if taxes double in the future, you'll be glad you bought them out while taxes were still on sale. The fourth objection – "In retirement, I'll be in a lower tax bracket" – is actually one of the most dangerous assumptions in all of retirement planning. People assume that when they retire, their taxes automatically go down. For many Americans, the exact opposite happens, though. Once required minimum distributions kick in, they can force huge amounts of taxable income onto your tax returns. David touches upon an additional issue almost nobody talks about: the so-called widow's penalty. The fifth objection to Roth conversions revolves around the question, "Won't the federal government tax Roth IRAs sometime down the road?" People don't realize that the government loves Roth IRAs because they generate tax revenue today – unlike traditional IRAs, which delay tax revenue. That's why, every time Congress needs money, they tend to pass legislation that makes Roth accounts even more attractive. Remember: Roth conversions are about taking advantage of the tax sale of a lifetime before catastrophic levels of debt force tax rates higher.

FOLLOW UP starts with merchandise promotion and YouTube begging reminiscent of 2007, before GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen gets thoroughly criticized by eBay after proposing a $56 billion takeover plan that eBay called “neither credible nor attractive,” which is corporate-speak for “please stop emailing us at 3 a.m.” Meanwhile, California residents might finally receive a small settlement check from Grubhub worth about half a burrito, just as Americans realize they dislike AI data centers even more than nuclear plants because nobody wants a warehouse full of GPUs boiling away the local water supply. Lake Tahoe residents are learning their electricity now goes to AI processing plants instead of people, xAI keeps adding methane turbines despite being sued over them, and SpaceXAI employees are fleeing Elon's “sleep under your desk forever” lifestyle as if it were the last helicopter out of Saigon.IN THE NEWS, we start gently with the revelation that everyone at the Musk v. Altman trial is sitting on luxury butt cushions because apparently the singularity requires lumbar support, before plunging straight into the abyss: fake AI crypto journalists haunting Forbes and HuffPost like SEO poltergeists, OpenAI launching “Daybreak” so the robots can now secure the software they helped break, Anthropic trying to stop AI from becoming evil by feeding it morality fan fiction, and Google catching AI-generated zero-day exploits in the wild because cyberpunk novels were apparently instructional manuals. Waymo robotaxis are experimenting with driving into floodwaters, a family is suing OpenAI after ChatGPT allegedly advised their son to mix drugs with fatal results, graduating students booed an executive for praising AI as if she were announcing the arrival of cholera, and Meta continues its speedrun toward becoming the world's largest scam mall while simultaneously demanding everyone trust its shiny new “encrypted AI chats.” Also: Meta is testing Grok-for-Threads, somebody created an AI poop-analysis startup that quietly sells your bowel movements to data brokers, GM got nailed for selling driver data, Lime still somehow exists and wants an IPO, and Japan's first 3D-printed house shows that the future will at least look cool even as society collapses.MEDIA CANDY features Spotify celebrating twenty years of collecting your listening habits into a psychological profile you absolutely didn't care about during the CD era, plus The Punisher: One Last Kill ironically looking like unfinished PlayStation cutscenes, Good Omens Season 3, Devil May Cry Season 2, NBC somehow turning Wordle into a TV show because every executive has fully given up, shorter waits for Severance Season 3, and Rings of Power returning in November to continue spending the GDP of a small nation on elf misery.APPS & DOODADS checks in with Apple as it prepares Siri app integrations that developers already suspect will become subscription-based hostage situations. TikTok is testing an ad-free tier in the UK because, somehow, ads weren't already enough punishment. Venmo is finally realizing that public payment feeds are insane. There's a Wikipedia clone made entirely of AI hallucinations, and an iPad arm mount sturdy enough to survive the upcoming climate wars.AT THE LIBRARY wraps up with Clowns (First Contact), Dungeon Crawler Carl, the demise of another Goodreads competitor, Kindle alternatives for those trying to escape Amazon's panopticon, and a reminder that Douglas Adams has now been gone for 25 years, which remains, in the immortal words of the man himself, widely regarded as a bad move.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.Shopify - Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial today at Shopify.com/grumpyCleanMyMac - Get Tidy Today!

Today's Oddcast - Talking Lamar - What's In My Cereal? (Airdate 5/15/2026) Remember when, as a kid, digging through the cereal box to get to the toy at the bottom was the highlight of your day? Whether it was walking horses, spy kits, or digital watches, Lamar is nostalgic for some of the most memorable cereal toys. The Bob & Sheri Oddcast: Everything We Don’t, Can’t, Won’t, and Definitely Shouldn’t Do on the Show!
Luke 17:5-105 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”6 He replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you.7 “Suppose one of you has a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Will he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, ‘Come along now and sit down to eat'? 8 Won't he rather say, ‘Prepare my supper, get yourself ready and wait on me while I eat and drink; after that you may eat and drink'? 9 Will he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do? 10 So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.'”NOTE: We conclude the week with a poignant teaching by Jesus in response to the apostles request for Jesus to “Increase our faith”. Jesus says that their faith … even though it may be small… is enough to serve Him… even when it takes all we have to keep serving…. Even when it feels like we are a “slave”… serving will be like that sometime. Entrusting ourselves totally to Him who has “bought us with a price” will mean this level of surrender at times.
What does a $1.5 billion AI lawsuit have in common with your unwritten will?In September 2025, Anthropic agreed to pay $1.5 billion to settle the largest copyright lawsuit in U.S. history. The reason was simple. They built first and cleared rights later. Documentary filmmakers have been making the same mistake for decades. And in this Deep Dive, host Christian Taylor argues that the lesson runs deeper than music licensing or AI training data. It is the same lesson Jesus taught in Luke 14, the same lesson surgeons learn from pre-op checklists, and the same lesson Christian is living through right now as the primary caregiver to her father with Alzheimer's disease. Plan ahead. Count the cost. Do the hard things first.In this Deep Dive on Documentary First Episode 277 with veteran ARC Producer Teddy Cannon, Christian unpacks the deeper meaning of Teddy's central argument: bring the unglamorous work in at the top of every project, or pay catastrophically downstream. Anchored in Luke 14:28 and Teddy's case study of a $50,000 to $70,000 Jackson 5 music clearance fee, this episode traces a single principle from filmmaking to surgery to aviation to the Anthropic AI copyright lawsuit and finally to estate planning and end-of-life care.In this episode, Christian explores:The spine of this episode is a single line from Luke 14:28 of the Bible. "Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won't you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?" Christian draws the parallel from a Galilean carpenter to a veteran Archival Rights and Clearance Producer. Both saying the same thing across two thousand years. Both warning that the cost of finishing must be counted before the foundation is poured. The episode then turns personal, examining what happens when that wisdom is ignored at the scale of a single family and a single life.Why Anthropic's $1.5 billion AI copyright settlement is the same mistake documentary filmmakers have been making for decadesWhat an ARC Producer (Archival Rights and Clearance Producer) actually does, and why their role traditionally lives at the bottom of the production food chainHow a $50,000 to $70,000 Jackson 5 music clearance fee can sink an entire nine-episode film seriesWhy every documentary needs Errors and Omissions Insurance and a Rights Bible before distributionWhat surgeons, pilots, and contractors have in common with filmmakers who skip pre-production planningWhat Jesus taught in Luke 14:28 to 30 about counting the cost before building the towerWhy the Galilean carpenter and the veteran ARC Producer are saying the exact same thing two thousand years apartHow the same wisdom that protects a film from collapsing also protects a marriage, a business, an inheritance, and a familyWhat it is like to become the primary caregiver to a parent with Alzheimer's disease when no estate plan was ever writtenWhy doing the boring planning work upfront is not unloving, and what the wise ones do that everyone else avoidsChapters:0:00 The 2,000-Year-Old Lesson0:15 Intro: Bringing Gold to the Surface0:41 What is an ARC Producer?1:35 The Jackson 5 Sticker Shock2:12 The "Boring Person" at the Top3:04 From Surgeons to Pilots: Skipping the Checklist3:42 AI Companies and the Billion Dollar Mistake4:26 The Parable of the Tower5:06 Counting the Cost5:55 A Personal Deep Dive: Caregiving and Planning7:20 Being the "Editor" of a Life7:37 Final Thought: Look Anyway8:09 Final Ask: One ShareFrequently Asked Questions:What is an ARC Producer in filmmaking?An ARC Producer, short for Archival Rights and Clearance Producer, is the person on a film production team responsible for tracking down third-party footage, music, photographs, and documents, and securing the legal permissions to use them. ARC Producers manage licensing, clearance logs, and the Rights Bible that every film needs to secure Errors and Omissions Insurance and distribution. Historically, ARC Producers are brought in during post-production, but bringing them in during pre-production protects filmmakers from catastrophic licensing costs at the end of a project.Why should filmmakers bring an ARC Producer into pre-production?Bringing an ARC Producer into pre-production allows filmmakers to budget for rights and clearances before footage is shot or music is selected. This prevents the most expensive mistake in documentary filmmaking, which is locking a final cut around archival material or songs that turn out to cost tens of thousands of dollars to license. Pre-production clearance also strengthens storytelling by ensuring filmmakers know which materials are realistically available and affordable from the start.What can Anthropic's $1.5 billion AI copyright lawsuit teach filmmakers about clearance?In September 2025, Anthropic agreed to pay $1.5 billion to settle Bartz v. Anthropic, the largest copyright settlement in U.S. history. The case alleged Anthropic trained its AI on pirated books without permission. The lesson for filmmakers is identical to the one ARC Producers have been giving for decades. Building a product or film first and clearing rights later is more expensive than clearing rights upfront, no matter the scale of the company.What does Luke 14:28 say about counting the cost?In Luke 14, verses 28 through 30, Jesus tells a brief parable about a man who wants to build a tower. The parable asks whether the builder will first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it. The point is that laying a foundation you cannot afford to finish leaves the unfinished structure visible to everyone. The principle applies to filmmaking, estate planning, and any major project that requires resources to complete.What can caregivers and filmmakers learn from each other about planning ahead?Both filmmakers and family caregivers face the same trap. The unglamorous planning work, whether a music clearance memo, an estate plan, or a will, is easy to put off because it asks people to look at things they would rather not look at. Filmmakers avoid thinking about the end of a budget. Families avoid thinking about the end of a life. In both cases, the people who do the boring work upfront protect the people who come after them.About the Topic:Bartz v. AnthropicBartz v. Anthropic is the class-action copyright lawsuit filed by authors Andrea Bartz, Charles Graeber, and Kirk Wallace Johnson against Anthropic AI for training its Claude language model on pirated books downloaded from Library Genesis and Pirate Library Mirror. The case settled in September 2025 for $1.5 billion, the largest copyright settlement in U.S. history. Anthropic agreed to pay approximately $3,000 per affected work and destroy the pirated files.New York Times v. OpenAIThe New York Times filed suit against OpenAI and Microsoft in December 2023, alleging that OpenAI trained ChatGPT on millions of Times articles without permission. The Times is seeking billions of dollars in damages. The case is one of more than fifty pending AI copyright lawsuits in the United States and represents the largest active threat to current AI training practices.Music Industry v. AI CompaniesUniversal Music Group, Concord Music, and other major music companies have filed suit against Anthropic and other AI companies for scraping copyrighted song lyrics to train AI models. Suno and Udio, two AI music generation platforms, face similar litigation from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and major labels. The disputes mirror the music licensing challenges documentary filmmakers have faced for decades.Luke 14:28-30: The Parable of the TowerIn the Gospel of Luke, chapter 14, verses 28 through 30, Jesus uses the image of a man building a tower to teach about the cost of discipleship. The parable's principle has become a foundational text on planning, prudence, and foresight in Western thought. The phrase "counting the cost" entered common English usage directly from this passage.Teddy Cannon and Crux...
This week marks Ascension Day, May 14![1. Photo by Timo Volz on Unsplash.] So let's rise to that occasion and survey at least seven notions about that place to which Jesus ascended—Heaven. Is it true that Heaven is only “spiritual”? Or that we can't know about Heaven is like, so it's best we not think much about that unchanging, un-earthly or very-earthly dimension where “time shall be no more” and where basically good people go? We'll do our best to bypass modern myth and search the only certain Source. Episode sponsors All that Glows by Lauren Smyth Realm Makers 2026 Conference & Expo Author Update from Novel Marketing The Talismiths: The Secret Saboteur by M. L. Hodder Mission update New at Lorehaven: weekly reviews, recent website upgrades Subscribe free to get updates and join the Lorehaven Guild Concession stand Concession: Randy Alcorn just released a similar article last week. By intention, I didn't read the article, or my own previous material. There's a chance some of my myths (in no special order) overlap. I do credit Alcorn's Heaven (2004) as a formative influence. Yet here I'll attempt to base my reasons straight on Scripture. In the past I've rankled some folks with strange afterlife ideas. Yet in the last 20 years more people have “discovered” New Earth. 1. Heaven is only a “spiritual” place. This usually comes not from teaching, but memes and impressions. Some of us also recall the phrase “spiritual body” (1 Cor. 15:44). Since God is Spirit (John 4:24), isn't this the same kind of spirit? Won't this mean we'll have no body, becoming intangible, ghostly? It's true that God the Father is spirit, without a body. Yet not Jesus. All resurrection ideas are based on His physical/spiritual nature. Yes, Heaven today is for souls separated from bodies (2 Cor. 5). It won't stay that way after the final resurrection Jesus promises. Paul in 1 Cor. 15 defines “spiritual body” as Spirit-powered body. And in 2 Cor. 5 he promises we will be “further clothed,” not naked. 2. It's best not to think about Heaven. This too is not taught in Scripture, except from misquoted verses. 1 Cor. 2:9, “what no eye has seen…” doesn't truly command this. Even if this were about Heaven, it never discourages imagination. But it isn't anyway. It's about “things God has revealed” (verse 10). Scripture's images encourage, not suppress truthful imagination. I'm not sure why else God would inspire such fantastical imagery. With biblical foundation, it's impossible to think “too much” on this. See also: nonsense about “being so heavenly minded…” Bad logic. Being biblically “heavenly minded” helps us love “earthly good.” We avoid that gnostic impulse the slogan was meant to counter. 3. “Time shall be no more” in Heaven. People really do assume this phrase comes from the Bible. It's actually from the hymn “When the Roll is Called Up Yonder.” That's a partial quote from Rev. 10:6 (KJV), warning that time is up. But the phrase got loose and reinforces vague, “spiritoid” images. Maybe we could say time runs different in today's Heaven. Revelation describes events in sequence, as Heaven watches. It references waiting martyrs (Rev. 6:11) and “half an hour” (8:1). In either case, Scripture never implies time/matter has gone evil. A possible rule: we need special proof for “X won't be in Heaven.” Unless the Bible says, don't assume that thing won't last forever. 4. Basically good people go to Heaven. We hear this all the time, in pop culture, funerals, our own doubts. A lot of time this myth isn't specifically taught, only caught. But I did hear a Mormon apologist Jacob Hansen teaching this. In his view, basically only Hitler or “sons of perdition” go to Hell. This notion will result in doctrine and fiction with bad views of evil. Villains will become more “misunderstood” in reality and in stories. Scripture never teaches this. Hell is real. Not all go to Heaven. And if pagans saw Heaven correctly, they wouldn't want to anyway. Imagine an eternity of worshiping King Jesus in everything we do. There can by definition be no perfect world apart from His reign. 5. Today's Heaven looks like Earth. Some years ago, we saw many books about “heaven tourism.” One or two got discredited. One or two got made into movies. Sometimes adults wrote the tell-all. But one little boy glimpsed it(?). Whether or not they had visions, they do reinforce some myths. For example, one book spoke of Heaven in many earthly terms. On principle, I disagree—but not because earthliness is bad. Rather, it's premature. Heaven hasn't yet united with Earth (Rev. 21). Similarly, I hear Christians talking about believers now resurrected. But unless they have their bodies back, resurrection is still future! Heaven is fantastic now. Next comes the even better sequel. 6. We can't know what Heaven is like. Even if God never promised New Earth, Heaven would be great. You get past death and suffering. You get to be with Jesus Christ. You get to reunite with believing family, saints, heroes, and angels. And even as you wait (accelerated time?) there are things to do! Angels in Heaven now worship God all the time. What an epic sight. You might get to witness a higher view of events playing on Earth. And I'm sure we begin getting answers to many of our questions. But also, see Revelation 6. Martyrs are still waiting for what's next. In fact, they know about terrible things and want God's vengeance. They get no “memory wipe,” only the start of greater perspective. 7. Heaven could never unite with Earth. Reckless words about Earth and bodies devalues God's creation. See: “that's just her shell” or “she'll never see him on this Earth.” In fact, God promised she'll get back that body and he'll be back. Nothing in Scripture condemns our body or the material world. It doesn't endorse myths like “the Earth gets forever destroyed.” In fact, 2 Peter 3 speaks in terms of fire that refines our planet. Isaiah 60, 65-66 and Rev. 21 promise a Heaven/Earth reunion. The word “new” doesn't negate those nouns’ ordinary meanings. Heaven is where God dwells. Earth is where we would have dwelt. In this future God and Man all dwell together in one world (Rev. 21)! Com station Top question for listeners What do you long for most in Heaven or the future New Heavens? April wrote this for episode 303 about overseas tales: K-dramas may have romantic clichés just like anime or manga, but they handle them better than many Western media. It's a slow build-up, less sexualized, and focuses on emotions, sacrifice, and getting to know the other person, rather than how quickly you can get two attractive people into bed or make them kiss. Western romance is more about lust these days and that's because it has such a bad reputation as a genre, while the old-fashioned romance of classic books is still considered respectable literature. Next on Fantastical Truth This Thursday, some Christians will observe Ascension Day. That's the lesser-known sequel to Easter Sunday, honoring the time when Jesus Christ returned to Heaven. His disciples recorded His famous last words, including His command: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.” How does this Great Commission affect our fantastical stories?

Send us Fan MailPeaches sits down with legendary A-10 attack pilot "Won" Bier—and this one is equal parts war stories, aviation nerd-out, and straight-up calling BS on billion-dollar defense decisions.Fresh off Operation Epic Fury, with A-10s once again doing what everybody swore other platforms could “totally replace,” Won breaks down what Sandy missions, combat search and rescue, and real close air support actually look like when people's lives are on the line.
