The Way Church PodcastWhat is True Faith? (James 2:14-26) - Rachel Matson | March 16, 2025What is True Faith? (James 2:14-26) - Rachel Matson | March 16, 2025The book of James describes an integrated faith & life—a life made whole in its holiness. James was the pastor of the first Christian church in Jerusalem, writing to Jewish believers living outside the nation of Israel. The words of James are God’s word for us—relevant and immediately applicable to our lives. As we journey through the book of James, immersing ourselves in the symbolic world + pressing concerns of the first century followers of Jesus, we learn to apply James’ message to our lives in the 21st...

Falconry Told PodcastAl RossAl Ross, warmly known as "Mr. Merlin" amongst his peers, has long been a pioneer in the sport of falconry. Growing up without the knowledge or access to information later falconers would enjoy, he discovered and learned much of what he's now recognized for developing, almost entirely from studying the raptors in the wild themselves. From being the first to make a game hawk out of a Harris's Hawk, to "outer-mewing" Merlins season after season, to showing the world new things that these capable little falcons were able to do... Even those who have known Al Ross from the...

In this episode, we learn about Jeremy Kessler. At the time of recording, Jeremy is flying a cast of falcons… and brings a very interesting perspective into this episode. Despite the most careful planning and preparation, falconry often spirals into a chaotic sport.

Between hawking, working his Setter "Hope", fishing for trout, arrowhead hunting, or competing with Steve at a thousand games of cornhole, pinning him down was no small task. Boberg is widely known, and loved. Decades of hard hawking alongside his California peers and his positive, genuine personality have made him a staple of West Coast falconry friendships. In...

A falconer from way back, he's also earned a name for himself in recent times for the...

Limited to no access to any established falconry culture or literary works, two World Wars had left Anatoly and other Ukrainians with little choice but to figure out falconry on their own... No small task. From exercising his birds atop the downtown high-rise where he lived, to flying goshawks as if they were falcons. Anatoly is now an American falconer with a passion for long-wings, and perhaps...

There were no regulations, no rules, hardly any clubs or organizations, and all of this had to be made up as these falconry pioneers went along. Tom donated the first two pairs of breeding Peregrines to the cause of saving the species from extinction by DDT. He was also there at the founding of the North American Falconry Association, and faithfully served the organization for many...

Latter-day Saint PerspectivesThe Fourth Gospel with Joshua MatsonEven a casual, first-time reader quickly notices that the Fourth Gospel, or the Gospel of John, is different than the other New Testament gospels. From the first verse, the metaphorical language tells readers that this is more than a historical rehearsal; it is scripture written to persuade men that Jesus is the Christ, the promised Redeemer of Israel.
Jesus’ Second Temple period Jewish audience would have had expectations of what the Messiah would be like and what he would do. Depending on their religious community and sect, these hopes would likely represent exaggerations of various Old Testament prophecies. Some of th...
