God's Mercy and Grace

God’s Mercy and Grace

Psalm 34: 3-6 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt His name together. I sought the LORD, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. They looked unto Him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. David. along with several others, was hiding in the cave of Adullam. He had run…

Being a Self Leader

Being a Self Leader

Remember the Golden Rule? “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” (Matthew 7:12) We ARE our greatest cheerleader or at least we should be. Self-leadership causes us to first strive for being a good leader to ourselves. It means introspection and awareness of how we think and how we react. It is having a sense of being a stellar influencer of ourselves and then to others. Here’s an…

Rick Alan Ross on How Cults Work, & How to Get Out (Deprogramming, NXIVM, Waco, Heaven's Gate & more)

Rick is a fascinating guest as he's been a part of the story of some of the largest cults in recent memory, from working with both the Branch Davidians and the FBI in Waco, to working with a family to free their daughter from Keith Raniere & NXIVM.

Our season 3 finale was one of my favorite episodes of “The Fantastic Story Society.” We were able to get into the nitty gritty of the variety of ways cults operate and some of the most famous and/or unusual cuts of all time. The biggest point of this episode was to bring awareness that 1) cults exist and they’re more ubiquitous than one might imagine 2) literally ANYONE is susceptible to getting…

Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story by Bono #NewBooks #BookReview #AudiobookReview #Memoir #Autobiography

One of the greatest rock bands of all time is U2, and front man Bono opens up in a new memoir. I highly recommend the audio book! Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story by Bono #NewBooks #BookReview #AudiobookReview #Memoir #Autobiography #Bono #U2

“When I started to write this book, I was hoping to draw in detail what I’d previously only sketched in songs. The people, places, and possibilities in my life. Surrender is a word freighted with meaning for me. Growing up in Ireland in the seventies with my fists up (musically speaking), it was not a natural concept. A word I only circled until I gathered my thoughts for the book. I am still…

Book Spotlight: Along the Splintered Path

Along the Splintered Path was released in 2012 by Dark Continents Publishing. It was my first experience, as a writer, having a publisher take a chance with my stories to the extent of releasing a short collection of them. For me, it was a massive learning experience. Sure, I had worked with editors and publishers before but on a single story basis, not a book focused solely on me. It was, to be…

Anxiety Destroyed Saul

Introduction In my journey with the Daily Audio Bible through the Bible in one year, we’ve slogged through the miserable period of the Judges of Israel (where we’re reminded repeatedly that everyone did what was right in their own eyes–does that sound familiar?) and reached the strange story of the first two kings of Israel: Saul and then David. One odd thing about this story is that Saul seemed…

The Devourer Below: Professor Warren's Investiture

Ok, this one I have no complaints with it being about cultists more than ghouls themselves. While we’re closing in on the end of the month and that spookiest of days, I’m finding that I’m having more fun than I have in awhile. It’s a good feeling. This is one I really want to dig around in. Enjoy! Professor Peter Warren of the Miskatonic University’s Anthropology department believes that the…

David Wore the Whole Armor of God. Do you know how?

Fun fact: David, when fighting against Goliath, was actually dressed in his full armor of God. He actually had on all 7 pieces of his full armor and used his battle cry. Yet when we think of David going up against Goliath we picture a boy with a slingshot. The full armor of God is listed at Ephesians 6:14-18 (with the exception of one piece that wasn’t listed by the Apostle Paul). How did…

Tender Mercies

Psalm 51:1-4. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of Thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in Thy sight: that Thou mightest be justified when…

The Prophets by Robert Jones, Jr. (5th) Isaiah was Samuel’s and Samuel was Isaiah’s. That was the way it was since the beginning, and the way it was to be until the end. In the barn they tended to the animals, but also to each other, transforming the hollowed-out shed into a place of human refuge, a source of intimacy and hope in a world ruled by vicious masters. But when an older man—a fellow…
