677. This week, we talk to Dustin Granger about  Louisiana politics. As a seasoned financial advisor with over two decades of experience, Dustin Granger has built his career helping Louisiana families navigate the turbulent waters of the Great Recession, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the recurring hurricanes that shape life on the Gulf Coast. A lifelong resident and LSU alumnus, Granger now serves as the Treasurer of the Louisiana Democratic Party. Granger is a leading voice for economic reform and climate resilience. He advocates for a "New Louisiana" that breaks away from traditional corporate-heavy investments to embrace renewable energy, fair taxation, and sustainable infrastructure. In this interview, we discuss his recommendations for the current voting season, his strategies for stabilizing property insurance, his commitment to strengthening the state's middle class, and his ongoing work to revitalize the Democratic infrastructure across the Bayou State.

Every year an increasing number of white outlaws, hidden in the caves along the river, harried and robbed the boatmen who floated down from the upper settlements. There were lurking bands of hostile Indians. And there was the river itself with its treacheries; its snags; its mud bars and its floods. It was no unusual thing for an ark to set out as this one was about to do, provided against all foreseeable disasters, and never be heard from afterward. Some were wrecked, some were robbed and their crews obscurely murdered. But no tidings of their fate came back to the solitary homes on the upper Ohio.     To set out on such a voyage with a single man or boy who could not be trusted, might mean the loss of the boat or even of every life on board of her.

Dr. Ray shares how his involvement with March of Dimes started years ago through his fraternity, Alpha Phi Alpha, and discusses the organization's work in research, advocacy, and education.

He shares a personal story about a young family with premature twins to illustrate the significant impact March of Dimes has on supporting families during challenging times. Dr. Ray presents concerning statistics and grades for the United States and Tennessee on the March of Dimes report card for preterm birth, with Shelby County performing even worse with 13.2% of babies born premature. Dr. Ray emphasizes that community support is crucial, particularly through donations, local and national advocacy, and participating in events, like the upcoming March for Babies Walk event scheduled for Saturday, May 30th at Audubon Park. He explains that the event aims to raise awareness about preventing premature births and supporting healthier babies and mothers, with healthcare providers, local leaders, and community organizations expected to attend. Dr. Ray highlights various ways the community can support March of Dimes, including participating in the walk, making donations, starting teams, volunteering, and advocating for policies that support mothers and babies.

Join Pastor Lee Lukinovich as he shares a powerful vision for The Tabernacle Church in Metairie! In this message, "Planting the Grove," we're diving into what it means to grow a spiritual community that impacts an entire city.Ever seen those incredible oak trees at Audubon Park, offering shade and stability no matter the weather? That's the picture God has for us! Each one of us is meant to become a mighty oak of righteousness, a display of His splendor, starting as a small acorn with incredible potential. But God doesn't just want single trees; He wants a whole grove of oaks spiritually covering places like East Jefferson Parish, inviting everyone to find shelter and care.How do we get there? Pastor Lee lays out a clear blueprint with "Five Es" derived from 1 Thessalonians:Engage: We're called to be intentional and authentic, seizing opportunities to invite and urge one another towards God's truth. This means connecting with care, refusing to waste a chance, but always being sensitive, not pushy.Encourage: This isn't just being kind; it's deliberately walking with people, especially in tough times, showing genuine care and helping them grow into who God created them to be.Empower: We want to see people set free from whatever holds them back—breaking generational curses or addictions—and then help them find opportunities to use their unique, God-given gifts for others.Expect: We stand on God's word, expecting supernatural things to happen in our lives, and we also hold each other accountable to our commitments, expecting growth and victory because we're putting in the work.Enjoy: Yes, we can (and should!) enjoy this journey with God! From the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost to our personal victories, joy is a vital part of living out our faith.This invitation is for everyone—wherever you are, whatever your background, you have the potential to be a mighty oak in God's kingdom. Come discover how we can grow together and be a planting for the display of His splendor!Find out more at TheTabChurch.net.

Discover the captivating story of George Bird Grinnell, a pioneering force in American conservation, in this enthralling podcast episode. Born amidst the industrial expansion of the 19th century, Grinnell's life journey intertwined deeply with the burgeoning conservation movement in the United States. From the establishment of the Audubon Society to his crucial role in forming national parks and wildlife conservation policies, his story is one of profound dedication and lasting impact. Grinnell's story unfolds in an era of rapid industrialization, yet it's his profound connection with nature that defines his legacy, particularly his instrumental role in shaping The North American Model of Wildlife Conservation. Witness Grinnell's transformation from a curious child in Audubon Park to a prominent Yale-educated conservationist. His adventures in the American West not only exposed him to the raw beauty of the wilderness but also to the harsh realities of environmental exploitation and the plight of Native Americans. These experiences forged his resolve to protect the natural world. Delve into Grinnell's influential tenure as the editor of Field and Stream magazine, where his writings championed ethical hunting practices and wildlife preservation, laying the groundwork for The North American Model of Wildlife Conservation. This revolutionary concept, advocating for sustainable use and democratic management of wildlife resources, remains a cornerstone of conservation efforts today. Explore Grinnell's pivotal roles in the formation of the National Audubon Society and the Boone and Crockett Club, co-founded with Theodore Roosevelt. His tireless campaign to save the bison from extinction and his advocacy for the rights of Native Americans highlight his deep understanding of ecological and cultural conservation. Grinnell's crowning achievement, the establishment of Glacier National Park, stands as a testament to his visionary leadership. His efforts were not just for his time but for the future, inspiring generations to cherish and preserve our natural heritage. This episode is more than a historical narrative; it's a powerful reminder of our responsibility towards nature. As we explore the enduring impact of George Bird Grinnell, let his story ignite in us the same passion for conservation and stewardship of our planet.

Episode 57 Andrea Knabel37 year-old single Mother of 2, and Missing Person advocate, Andrea Michelle Knabel, vanished in her Lousville, Kentucky neighborhood of Audubon Park in the early hours of August 13, 2019. She was last seen walking away from her sister Erin's home just after 1:30 am headed back toward her mom's home where she was living. That was the last anyone saw of her. As police sorted through the details of Andrea's recent life, it was discovered that she had been going through a rough patch. She had recently lost her car in an accident, and also was looking for work. As if that wasn't enough, Andrea was very upset over a skin condition that cause her a great deal of pain and embarrassment. According to Andrea's family, she had been acting differently, and was staying up late into the night and sleeping until afternoon. Her family's concern at times left Andrea feeling ganged up on and at odds wit her family. When it was learned that Andrea had been locked out of her Mom's home the night she vanished, and had reportedly argued with family, it caused both police and the public to look closely at Andrea's loved ones. Cadaver dogs were brought into search, and the mostly crime-free neighborhood was scoured looking for clues including security surveillance, but nothing was found. Perhaps, the most valuable clue was the activity and movements on Andrea's phone which has only led to more questions than answers, and some people who may have those answers are not cooperating. Andrea, who was willing to help so many people via her work and time as a missing persons advocate, remains missing herself. In this episode, Andrea's sister Erin, who was the last person to see her older sister, discusses the case, and her efforts to find Andrea.When Andrea Knabel vanished, she was described as 5ft7, 190lbs, w/ Brown hair, and Blonde highlights, and having Hazel eyes. She was last seen in the 4000 Block of Fincastle RD in Louisville, KY wearing a light colored tank top and shorts. A reward is being offered in the case.

In 2019, 37-year-old Andrea Knabel from Louisville, Kentucky, was going through a bit of a rough patch. She'd recently lost her job, crashed her car, and lost her apartment. So, she was staying at her mother's home in Audubon Park, a very affluent area about 5 miles from downtown Louisville. At this time Andrea's sister Sarah and her partner Ethan were also staying at the home to finish some repairs. On the night of August 12, Andrea gets into a fight with her mother, Sarah, and Ethan about her life choices. And things get pretty heated. After a very long night of going to the hospital, being locked out of her home, and going back and forth between her mother's home and Erin's home, Andrea goes missing from what's considered to be one of the safest areas in the city. Although local police don't seem to take the case as seriously as Andrea's loved ones hoped, her case sparks a lot of media attention. Andrea dedicated a lot of her time to an organization called Missing in America where she would actively help search for the missing. So not only was Andrea's family looking for her, so was this organization. And everyone had a lot of questions. Did Andrea get mixed up with the wrong crowd? Did she go undercover for Missing in America and get herself into a dangerous situation? Why was Andrea locked out of her home? And of course, where is Andrea?
