In this episode of Hope4, we dive into Romans 5:1–5 to uncover the profound truths of our new identity in Christ. We begin by reflecting on what it means to be justified by faith—peace with God that transforms how we live daily. From there, we explore how this peace grants us access to God’s grace, empowering us to stand firm amid life’s challenges. Next, we turn to the theme of hope: Paul reminds us that our hope is not wishful thinking but a confident expectation of sharing in God’s glory. We’ll trace the chain of spiritual growth that the Apostle outlines—how suffering ...

"We believe in step-by-step growth. It is what school got us used to. And when we see the anomalies and the outliers strike it big, we make up a fact that explains why they can do it but we can't. So we just stick to what we know. And what do we know? Working harder. The things we want, we work for. It gets so bad that people see money in terms of time. "I can't afford that right now. I have to be earning 4X my current pay. And I have to be a senior executive to earn that. And I can't be a senior executive for another 6 years." Yada, yada, yada.

A breakthroughexamination of professional wrestling - its history, its fans, and its widercultural impact - that does for the sport what Chuck Klosterman did for heavymetal

The Squared Circle grows out of David Shoemaker'swriting for both Deadspin, where hestarted the column "Dead Wrestler of the Week" - a feature on the many wrestlingsuperstars who died too young because of the abuse they subjected their bodiesto - and Grantland,where he covers the pro-wrestling world and its place in the pop culturemainstream. Shoemaker's sports writing has since struck a nerve withgenerations of wrestling fans who, like him, grew up worshiping a sport oftenderided as "fake" in the wider culture. To them, these professional wrestlingsuperstars are not just heroes but an emotional outlet and the lens throughwhich they learned to see the world.

Starting in the early 1900s and exploring the path of prowrestling in America through the present day, The Squared Circle is thefirst book to acknowledge both the sport's broader significance and wrestlingfans' keen intellect and sense of irony. Divided into eras, each section offersa snapshot of the wrestling world, profiles some of the period's preeminentwrestlers, and examines the sport's influence on our broader culture. Throughthe brawling, bombast, and bloodletting, Shoemaker argues that pro wrestlingcan teach us about the nature of performance, audience, and, yes, art.

Full of unknown history, humor, and self-deprecatingreminiscence - but also offering a compelling look at the sport's rightful placein pop culture - The Squared Circle is the book that legions of wrestlingfans have been waiting for. In it, Shoemaker teaches us to look past thespandex and body slams to see an art form that can explain the world.
