The Amazing Bible. Book Club
“Book Three” of Matthew – Chapters 11-13 - The Kingdom
This section begins with John the Baptist asking Jesus if He is the One that was to come. If Jesus was the Son of David, the King, then why was He not taking the reigns? Then this section explains that the kingdom of God is different than an earthly kingdom. Jesus was ushering in a new era, and John the Baptist was the last great prophet, like Elijah, who prepared people's hearts for Jesus. In the kingdom of God, the children's eyes are opened, but not the "wise and learned" (11:25-26). There is only one way into God's kingdom...

Return the Key: Jewish Questions for Everyone
Episode #12: Are Atheists Allowed to Pray?
In the most poetry-rich episode to date, Julie talks with poet and translator Daniel Borzutzky about Daniel’s Chilean and Jewish family, about his close relationship with the Tree of Life synagogue and how he wrote about the 2018 massacre, about writing violence in a time of ongoing mass violence and war—after, before, during after, before, and during Israel’s ongoing massacres in Gaza and beyond—and about the tension between our sense of responsibility for and connection to those we share identities with and a more universalist sense of care, grief, and solidarity. Daniel talks about what reading and tran...

How do you come to trust God no matter the circumstances? How do you have faith despite how things look on the outside, or feel on the inside?

V ulicích úřaduje sériový vrah, v Bílém domě herec a všude jinde panika ze satanismu. Bavíme se o atmosféře 80. let i filmovém průmyslu té doby, které reflektuje film Maxxxine.

Česká letní komedie Prázdniny s Broučkem pochází od broučků Matouška a Dvořáčka a producenta Párty Hárder: Summer Massacre. Vzhledem k tomu, že celovečerně debutující režisér na FAMU adaptoval Franze Kafku, mohly být Prázdniny s Broučkem takovou feel-good verzí Proměny.
