Children of the Most High - Episode #4170 - Podcast

This original score accompanies the acclaimed stage production of "The Daughter of Time", adapted from Josephine Tey’s classic novel and directed by M. Kilburg Reedy at London’s Charing Cross Theatre. Composer Haddon Kime blends modern classical textures with period-inspired motifs to underscore a gripping investigation into the mystery of Richard III.

From tense, minimalist pulses to sweeping thematic cues, the music captures the drama, doubt, and revelation of a detective unraveling history from a hospital bed. A cinematic, theatrical listening experience for lovers of mystery, historical drama, and evocative soundscapes.

"King's X: A Timeless Sermon on God's Relentless Love"

In this powerful Day1 Classics episode, we revisit Rev. Dr. James A. Wharton’s 1972 sermon "King's X," a profound reflection on Hosea 11 and God’s unwavering love for His people—even when they turn away.

Host Rev. Dr. Katie Givens Kime is joined by Rev. Dr. Tom Long to unpack Wharton’s legacy as a preacher who bridged the Old and New Testaments, revealing a God of compassion rather than wrath. Together, they explore:
- Why Hosea 11 shatters misconceptions about the "angry" Old Testament God
- The cost of choosing idols over divine love
- How Wharton’s message speaks to today’s struggles with nationalism, consumerism, and environmental crisis
- The surprising hope in God’s "Kings X"—a divine refusal to let us go

Originally aired during the tense political climate of 1972 (Watergate, Vietnam War), this sermon remains startlingly relevant. Wharton’s storytelling brilliance and theological depth make this a must-listen for anyone wrestling with faith, doubt, or the call to live differently in a divided world.
