God has been speaking about the **resistance at the gate**, so it's time to lean in and listen. We are at a pivotal moment in the body of Christ, and God is positioning us to possess the gates of our enemy. The abundance is here! God is drawing a hard line in the sand.

Vampires are divided—those who crave the light, and those who worship the dark. Now cultists are rising. And the Ancients—banished monsters from a forgotten age—are stirring in their prison beneath Shadowkeep. Oh, and there’s one more ...

The Númenóreans altered the calendar of the Elves; Alan & James never could get the hang of Thursdays. Join The Man of the West and The Sage of the South as we practice only the best kind of pedantry in our exploration of Appendix D on the various intricate calendar systems in Middle-earth. The Elves are obsessed with sixes and twelves, the Númenóreans have to fix a millennial deficit — which has nothing to do with spending too much on Starbucks — and the Hobbits always do their own thing. We wonder if days not belonging to a month feel lonely, agree that 30-day months are best, and ...
