You have a favorite Matthew Lillard film or TV performance. It might be SLC Punk , the Scream franchise, Scooby Doo , Hackers , She's All That , Twin Peaks: The Return , or the new Stephen King and Mike Flanagan movie The Life of Chuck . He's been working in Hollywood for over 30 years, and has a reputation for being kind to fans. But connecting with people is exactly why he got into acting as a kid — the community that comes from putting on a play together and hashing it all out at the diner afterward. It's what drew him to Dungeons & Dragons, and then a spirits company celebrating fantasy and horror fandoms. Lillard joined Tinfoil Swans to talk about growing up not fitting in, the thrill of finding your people, the punk rock high school movie he directed, his wedding cheese wheel, and so much more.

“Missing Ingredient Pt 2 (Humility)” | 1 Peter 5:1-14 40:35

1 day тому40:35

40:35

Discover why humility is critically missing in both our churches and culture today, and how this absence leads to division, anger, and weakened Christian witness. This powerful message explores 1 Peter 5:1-14, revealing God's design for church leadership and membership through the lens of humility. Learn what true biblical humility looks like for church elders, who must lead with maturity, compassion, sound doctrine, and servant leadership rather than domineering control. Understand why members need to embrace godly structure while rejecting consumer Christianity that asks 'what's in it for me? 'The message reveals God's dramatic response to pride versus humility—He actively opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. The Greek word for 'opposes' carries military connotations, showing God's serious stance against pride which violates the first commandment by making ourselves the center instead of Him. Discover three practical steps to cultivate humility from 1 Peter 5:1. Cast your anxieties on God, recognizing worry as a lack of trust. 2. Be sober-minded and watchful against spiritual attacks. 3. Resist temptation by standing firm in faith. The teaching concludes with a powerful driving analogy: 'Your arms will take you where your eyes are looking.' When we fix our focus on Jesus rather than our circumstances, we naturally move in the right direction, allowing His grace to restore and strengthen us.…

“The Missing Ingredient” | 1 Peter 5 39:57

15 днів тому39:57

39:57

In a world where pride dominates, humility stands as the missing ingredient in effective church leadership. Peter's first letter outlines how church leaders should shepherd God's flock—willingly, eagerly, and as examples rather than dictators. True elders are mature believers who teach, care for, and nourish the congregation spiritually without seeking personal gain. The biblical model shows a plurality of elders working together, providing accountability and protection against the dangers of solo leadership. Ultimately, the reward for humble service isn't earthly recognition but the opportunity to glorify God, following Christ's ultimate example of humility on the cross.…

“Why Suffer?” | 1 Peter 4:1-19 48:33

22 дні тому48:33

48:33

In 1 Peter 4:1-19, we learn that suffering serves a divine purpose in the Christian life. Rather than being random or punitive, suffering helps believers cease from sin, separates them from worldly patterns, and prepares them for Christ's return. Christians are called to respond to persecution by living in expectation of Christ's return, maintaining self-control, and loving one another earnestly. While it may seem counterintuitive, suffering for Christ is actually described as a privilege—not because pain feels good, but because it identifies us with Christ and indicates that God's Spirit rests upon us.…

"Aliens, Announcements, Negotiations & Fire" | Genesis 18-19 58:01

29 днів тому58:01

58:01

Genesis 18-19 reveals God's character through His interactions with Abraham and Lot. God personally shared His plans with Abraham, demonstrating how He reveals divine intentions to those who follow Him faithfully. Abraham's intercession for Sodom shows how justice and mercy work together in God's nature. Meanwhile, Lot's story illustrates the dangers of compromising with sin, leading to spiritual blindness and poor judgment. Yet even in the aftermath of terrible mistakes, God's redemptive power shines through, as seen in how the lineage from Lot's sin eventually led to Ruth, an ancestor of Jesus.…

The Sarai Syndrome: Doesn't God Need our Help? 48:25

6 weeks тому48:25

48:25

The story of Abraham and Sarah demonstrates the importance of trusting God's sovereign plan even when circumstances seem impossible. After ten years in Canaan without children, they took matters into their own hands by having Abraham father a child with Sarah's servant Hagar. This human solution to fulfill God's promise resulted in conflict and pain, with Hagar fleeing after tensions arose with Sarah. Despite their misstep, God showed mercy and remained faithful to His original plan. He found Hagar, blessed Ishmael, and maintained His promise to give Abraham and Sarah their own son. At age 99, Abraham received confirmation of this promise, challenging him to believe in God's power to do the impossible. Their story reveals that true faith involves trusting God's timing and methods, waiting actively while serving, and responding immediately to His commands. God continues to work both personally and corporately in our lives today, using even our mistakes as part of His greater plan while expecting our immediate obedience when He speaks.…
