    “Live” from Madrid: The Spanish Inquisition & Martyrdom of Mateo Salado│Prison Pulpit #79 [China Compass]

    I’m in Spain for a few days and today’s podcast looks at a particularly dark era of Spain’s persecutory past, and how it connects to the man who became the first protestant martyr in Peru.  I'm your China travel guide in exile, Missionary Ben. Follow me on Twitter/X (@chinaadventures) where I share a new Chinese city to pray for every single day. Feel free to email anytime: chinacompass @ privacyport.com. Check out PrayGiveGo.us for everything else, incl. Patreon, Substack & books…   The Memoirs of William Milne (PrayGiveGo.us) The Autobiography of John G. Paton (JohnGPaton.com) Borden of Yale: The Millionaire Missionary (BordenofYale.com) Unbeaten: My Arrest, Interrogation, and Deportation from China (Unbeaten.vip)   Why the Prison Pulpit?  The goal is to remind people to pray for persecuted believers as Hebrews 13:3 teaches: “Remember those who are in prison, as bound with them.” We’ve looked at Wang Yi and Early Rain Church’s writings in the aftermath of their arrest and attack in 2018, but I’ve also regularly turned to other persecuted ministers who have gone before, such as Richard Wurmbrand, to give us a voice literally from prison. (Here are some free PDF books from Richard Wurmbrand: https://richardwurmbrandfoundation.org/)   How to Give?

  2. Riff 85 - Whiskers and Peas and Self Deprecation [The Comedian Next Door]

    1D AGO

    Riff 85 - Whiskers and Peas and Self Deprecation [The Comedian Next Door]

    We have done the research, and we can tell you that there is a precise moment when the hair on a man's face transitions from "rugged five o'clock shadow" to "beard" — and that moment occurs approximately three weeks after his wife stops mentioning it. In this episode, we explore the full spectrum of facial hair taxonomy, including actual measurements involving micrometers, peas, and paper clips, because we are that committed to journalism. But we don't stop there, because stopping there would be the decision of people with self-control, which we are not. We also get into the surprisingly deep waters of comedy theory — specifically, why the pause before a punchline is doing more heavy lifting than the punchline itself, and why the comedian who looks the most relaxed is usually the one who has rehearsed until he can no longer feel his face. (Which, depending on his grooming situation, may be a lot of face.) We talk about self-deprecating humor as a legitimate vulnerability tool rather than just a cry for help — though, to be clear, it is sometimes also a cry for help — and we examine what it actually means to make a joke feel like a conversation instead of a hostage situation. We also address what to do when the audience goes silent, which is a thing that happens, and which feels exactly like you would imagine it feels. Plus: DIY grooming disasters, the psychology of appearance, and the truth about hair transplants, which we are not qualified to discuss but will anyway. Somebody brings up paper clips again. You're going to want to hear this.
