How do you actually discipline your kids without yelling? It is one of the most exhausting, quietly discouraging challenges of parenting, and Pastor Brandon says almost every Christian parent lands in one of two ditches. He walks the church through the third way that Scripture actually teaches, and it will change how you show up in your own home this week.This sermon comes from a Broadcast Sunday at Alliance Church, joining all three campuses (Appleton, Hortonville, and Neenah) around Ephesians 6:1 through 4. Children, obey your parents in the Lord. And then Paul turns straight to the dads. Fathers, do not exasperate your children. Instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.Pastor Brandon opens by pointing out that the gospel is the great equalizer. Every believer has equal standing before God, regardless of age, status, income, or role. In Christ, father and son are actually brothers. But that gospel equality does not erase household authority. Kids still need mom and dad to be the parents. Kids need to hear you say the word no and stick to it.Then Pastor Brandon narrows in on why God specifically addresses fathers here. Dads have their hand on the thermostat of the household. Dads set the spiritual and emotional temperature of the home. And dads tend to blow this one of two ways. They abdicate their authority (checked out, disengaged, absent even when they are physically home) or they abuse their authority (harsh, cold, explosive, controlling). Both are sin. The gospel offers a third way. Authority exercised with love.He calls this firm but warm. Firm without warm exasperates kids. Warm without firm turns them into a train with no tracks. Firm and warm together is exactly how the Father parents us. Exodus 34:6 says God is gracious and merciful, abounding in steadfast love, and slow to anger.He also names the honest struggle. Godly parenting takes discipline of the parent, not just the child. If you let your emotions drive your discipline, you will exasperate your child. If you never admit when you are wrong, you will end up with bitter kids. Most discipleship is caught, not taught. You cannot give your kids what you are not getting from God.Pastor Brandon closes with a painting called The Banjo Lesson by Henry Ossawa Tanner. A tired dad, home from an honest day's work, patiently teaching his son. The kid does not have much, but he has everything that matters. That is what Jesus opened up for us. He gave up his own seat with the Father so that we could climb into the Father's lap and receive the firm but warm love that reshapes everything.If you are a parent tired of losing it, or an adult still processing your own upbringing, or someone learning what God as Father is actually like, this teaching is worth every minute.

Barry Appleton investigated some of the most notable crimes of the twentieth century, from multi-million pound robberies to cold-blooded killings that shook the world. Walking the beat of the crime-ridden East End under the rule of the Krays, Barry went toe-to-toe with the underworld, earning multiple commendations for his courage. Following a series of high-profile murder cases, he was assigned to the Flying Squad and went undercover to investigate the assassination of Martin Luther King. Life in the ‘Sweeney' was dangerous and the detective's dedication to the job saw him injured in the line of duty, pushing him and his family to the limit.Catch Giles live - 'Let's Talk' - Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday - from 10.00CET...on tre.radio

Christopher Hart has had, and continues to have, an amazing career, or should I say “careers”. Many people, not just magicians, would be satisfied with success in any one of the areas where Chris has exceeded expectations. Many listeners of The Magic Word Podcast know that it was his hand as “Thing” in “The Addams Family” movies. And yet there is a whole generation who have never seen nor heard of “The Addams Family”, the New Yorker comic strip, the TV series let alone the movies. The recent Netflix series “Wednesday” has introduced many to this genre, but Chris wasn't in that, and I digress.But he has performed in dinner theater with “Triple Espresso” and also singing on network TV, Plus of course he has presented his award winning act around the world with the torn and restored sheet music and the disembodied hand. You may think you know Christopher Hart, but there is so much to know about Christopher that you will be surprised what you learn in this episode. View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize This week's episode was recorded in Appleton, Wisconsin, while we were at the SAM National convention. Christopher not only performed but also lectured. He had so much material to share, that he never got around to explaining some of the items on his agenda during his lecture. He resolves that by chatting on this week's episode as he talks about his touches on the torn and restored newspaper and the zombie gimmick. But we start, of course, by chatting about his film career, then his time with dinner theater, overcoming his fear of singing in public, working and touring with David Copperfield, plus serving as President of the Board of Trustees on the Academy of Magical Arts. He shares some great “behind the scenes” stories about all of this which makes this one of my favorite episodes, and I hope yours, too.

Flights were delayed Thursday afternoon at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport after telecommunication issues caused a ground stoppage. News that the Prairie Correctional facility in Appleton will reopen as an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center has divided some community members. A Twin Cities woman who suffered salmonella poisoning after eating takeout from Chipotle is suing the restaurant chain. Minneapolis park officials say a blue-green algae bloom is underway at Cedar Lake. Testing confirmed the toxic algae and a warning is now in place for all three beaches at Cedar Lake. People and pets should stay out of the water.The Moorhead Police Department is searching for a missing Indigenous woman with family ties to a long-standing cold case in Duluth.

It's been a busy week in the small western Minnesota town of Appleton. First, the town learned the Department of Homeland Security is moving forward with plans to detain immigrants in a shuttered private prison nearby. Then, CoreCivic, the company that owns the prison, announced it is selling it to the federal government. It's expected to open this fall as an ICE detention center. CoreCivic will still manage the facility. But, as federal property, it may be exempt from taxes that currently support Appleton's budget. Appleton City Council member Jim Massee joined to talk more about what impacts this could have.

A former prison in the western Minnesota town of Appleton will soon be an ICE detention center. After a recent sale, the federal government now owns the facility. We talked to a city council member about concerns that the sale could impact the city's tax base. Flock surveillance cameras have become the center of debate in many Minnesota cities. And some people are taking matters into their own hands by vandalizing them. Plus, the nationally-recognized nonprofit Black Visions is shutting down after a decade of racial justice advocacy. And, we'll take you center stage at the Minnesota Fringe Festival, where more than 100 productions will show at theatres across the Twin Cities.The Minnesota Music Minute was “Midnight Rain” by Blue Groove Bluegrass. The Song of the Day was “Body and Heart” by Drew Medin.

Following the tick report where we learn, in the words of a CDC scientist, that “the ticks are winning,” we discuss a new study finding wildfire smoke is now the primary pollutant negatively affecting pregnancy. Climate change, including increased heat, extended drought, and a thirsty atmosphere, has been a key driver in increasing the risk and extent of wildfires and the spike in tick borne illnesses. In a rather surprising development, former disgraced New York City mayor Erick Adams shows up to central Wisconsin to shill for data centers, and is booed by local residents. Whose brilliant idea was it to hire the corrupt Adams as a pitchman for Big Tech's AI binge? Investing in public education and phasing out the private voucher school program jumped onto center stage in the governor's race this week. Francesca Hong's commitment to wind down the voucher program which is draining resources from our public schools made headlines in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. The newspaper also reports that Hong was the only candidate who agreed to discuss school funding plans in detail with reporters. Kudos to Hong for demonstrating her commitment to be open and honest with the public about her plans for the largest item in the state budget. We discuss the public debate in the 3rd Congressional District on if it is appropriate for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (the political arm of the House Democrats) to intervene in the primary elections on behalf of Rebecca Cooke, raising concerns of closed door decisions that disempower voters. Robert discusses parallel concerns about Assembly Democratic Campaign Committee and Senate Democratic Campaign Committee interventions in Assembly District 21 and Senate District 17 races. We also react to news that Tom Tiffany raised $4 million of his $5 million cash on hand from three billionaires. We close with a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel investigation finding half of ICE flights conducted by Appleton-based Air Wisconsin are using Milwaukee Mitchell as its hub. Also, Robert tells us if it matters that two federal court decisions block the Trump Regime from rescinding billions in climate change grants. We urge our listeners in the Milwaukee area to attend our $20 Minimum Wage Town Hall, Wednesday, August 19th, 6pm.

There seems to be pushback on an ICE facility being placed in an abandoned private prison in Appleton, MN - Representative Brad Tabke joined us to talk about why he is against housing a detention facility for ICE in Appleton and Minnesota - why he was opposed to Shakopee doing the same - that and much more with Rep. Tabke!

What started as a discussion about the best firefighter work schedule quickly turned into a deep dive into recruitment, retention, staffing, and the future of the fire service.Visit:TheCoolFireman.comUnkiesSeasonings.comTheBurnBox.comMatt, Brian, and Adam compare some of the most common shift schedules, including 48/96, 24/72, 24/48, and other regional variations, while sharing firsthand experiences from their own departments. Matt explains why he's become a huge fan of the 48/96 schedule, Brian discusses Greenville Fire Rescue's transition to a 24/72 schedule, and Adam shares how Norfolk is using laterals and competitive schedules to attract firefighters from neighboring departments.The guys also tackle the realities of staffing shortages, mandatory overtime, succession planning, firefighter recruitment, and why departments have to think years ahead before making major operational changes. Is it really cheaper to pay overtime than hire another firefighter? How do departments prepare enough engineers and captains to support a fourth shift? And could better schedules become one of the biggest recruiting tools in the fire service?Before diving into the main topic, the crew announces this month's Patreon Perks winner, talks about preparations for SAFRE, gives updates from Unkie's Seasonings and Burn Box, and honors firefighters who recently made the ultimate sacrifice. They also discuss the devastating tornado damage at the Pierce Manufacturing facilities in Appleton, Wisconsin, and what that could mean for the fire service across the country.Whether your department works 24/48, 48/96, 24/72, or something completely different, this episode is packed with honest discussion about what works, what doesn't, and what the future of firefighter scheduling may look like.As always, thank you for listening and for being part of The Cool Fireman Podcast family. We'd love to hear from you. What schedule does your department work, and if you could choose any schedule, what would it be?

What do you do when everything you built is taken from you in a single storm? Almost no one thinks that question will ever land on them personally, and then one day it does. Pastor Brian preached this message to a congregation whose city had just been devastated by an EF3 tornado, and the answer he gave is one every person is going to need at some point.In this sermon, Pastor Brian opens with a hard truth. On July 27, 2026, an EF3 tornado over a mile wide touched down for more than twenty minutes and tore through the neighborhoods of Appleton, Menasha, and Neenah. Miraculously, no one was killed. But the loss will take generations to rebuild. And in a moment like that, everyone around you starts watching to see how you respond. Not because you asked for the spotlight, but because the world is quietly asking a question in every disaster. How do Christians handle storms?Pastor Brian says the answer is that Christians are different. Not weird. Different. Christians still grieve. Jesus himself grieved the death of Lazarus in John 11, even though he was minutes away from raising him. Grief is not weakness. It is honesty. But the way a Christian grieves is otherworldly, because our identity is anchored in a King whose kingdom is not of this world.Then Pastor Brian walks through two storms in Scripture that reframe everything. In Luke 8, Jesus calms the storm on the Sea of Galilee, and the disciples' response is not relief but fear, because they realize they had no idea who was in the boat with them. And in Matthew 27, at noon on the day Jesus was crucified, the sky went dark and Jesus cried out, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Psalm 22:1). He names what the cross actually is. It is the storm that defines Christians. You and I were asleep in a sinking boat we did not even know we were in, and Jesus went into the water for us. We may not get every "why" answered on this side of glory. But we know the why of Jesus. His why was you.That is why Christians are different about home (we build houses, not homes, because only Jesus is home), different about neighbors (we can be generous because we gave up everything to Christ already), and different in storms (we do not have all the answers, but we have the God who understands the tears).Eight people gave their lives to Christ in the seven days after this tornado through Samaritan's Purse and community ministry. The house may fall. The eternal work never does.If you have been through a storm you cannot explain, or you are watching one right now, this teaching is for you.#AllianceChurch #SundaySermon #BibleTeaching #JesusSaves #ChristianFaith #ChurchOnline #WisconsinChurch #FaithThatMoves #HopeInJesus #SermonSeries #faith #jesus #god #christianity #christian #tornado #storm #hope #grief #church #gospel #wisconsin

Anthony Fauci testifies under oath before the Senate Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday, after more than 1,100 pages of his private diary have been make public. They are raising questions about how he responded to secret intelligence and whether his private assessments matched what he told the American people. Fauci has not publicly responded to the latest disclosures.In honor of the late Senator Lidnsey Graham, Senators advance a Russia and Iran sanctions bill that was championed by him. The bill aims to cut off Russia's profit from oil and gas sales and to restrict funding for Iran. These actions also heavily impact China, with Senator Richard Blumenthal saying it's intended to punish China and India for financing Russia's war. A final vote on the bill is expected later this week.Residents across northeastern Wisconsin are beginning the difficult task of cleaning up after one of the state's strongest tornadoes in decades.

In fact, when she looked at career options after 10 years at home with her kids, “no sales” was at the top of her list.Then she found real estate.Today, Amanda runs a 120-unit business in Appleton, Wisconsin, with more than $30 million in annual volume, and 98% of it comes from repeat and referral business. She has never bought a lead. Instead, she built a simple, human, hyperlocal system around her database, her community and the people she already loves serving.In this episode, Amanda breaks down her 52-touch program, including a monthly digital newsletter, community coupons, local events and client giveaways. She also shares how her pumpkin drop-off became a signature touch, why her investor seminar led to multiple deals, and how Fox Cities Fridays turned local business spotlights into one of her strongest marketing plays.Amanda's model works because it feels real. It is built on service, not sales. It gives before it asks.

A common idea is that repeated exposure to sweet taste strengthens our preference for sweetness, which then drives greater intake of sweet foods and drinks. This idea is often used in arguments about fruit, low-calorie sweeteners, diet drinks, and the supposed need to "reset" taste preferences by avoiding sweetness altogether. But does the evidence actually support that causal chain? In this episode, Prof. Katherine Appleton, Professor of Psychology at Bournemouth University, discusses what is known about sweet taste exposure, sweet preference, and how these concepts are measured in the scientific literature.

When was the last time you heard someone say creatine was for women? Probably not often enough. In this episode of The Art of Living Well Podcast®, Marnie and Stephanie break down one of the most researched supplements available and make the case for why midlife women should be paying attention. Creatine has long been associated with bodybuilders and gym culture, but the science tells a far more interesting story, especially for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and the hormonal shifts that come with them. This conversation covers the basics of how creatine works, why women naturally have lower stores than men, and what the emerging research says about its benefits for muscle, recovery, energy, and brain health. Marnie and Stephanie also share how they each take it daily, what brands they trust, and how to work through the bloating concern that keeps many women from sticking with it. Supplements are never the whole picture. But this one may be worth a closer look.
