Podcasts about Avondale

Nick, Lachie, Josh and Ivka go full Gary Neville after an un-bee-leeevable finish at Avenger Park. Why was there so much stoppage time? Why did Heidelberg end up with one defender left on the pitch? And do Avondale have the mental advantage heading into the finals? Over at Churchill Reserve, Preston put in their most mature, disciplined performance of the season as they clinically dispatched in-form St Albans. Could the Lions be a smoky for the playoffs? Plus, a Steven Bradbury-esque finish is brewing in the race for sixth as Hume, Dandy City and Green Gully stumble over the line, and the Knights need a mathematical miracle to avoid the drop.The NPL Victoria Podcast is brought to you in 2025 by Melville Bodyworks, located at 106 Melville Rd Brunswick West.

Send us a textEver feel like you're screaming prayers into the void? You're in good company. Through the unique voices of Habakkuk, Zephaniah, and Amos, we discover an uncomfortable truth: sometimes God's answers look nothing like what we expect.Tyler Burke introduces us to Habakkuk, the "emo prophet" whose complaints against God reveal something profound about our own perspective. When Israel faced violence and injustice, Habakkuk questioned why God wouldn't act. God's response? "I'll send the Babylonians"—a nation even more wicked than Israel. This wasn't the resolution Habakkuk wanted, but through this exchange, we witness a transformation. Habakkuk's self-righteous pride gives way to humble recognition that God's discipline isn't unfair punishment but loving correction.Christina pulls back the curtain on Zephaniah's warnings to a people who practiced religious duplicity—worshiping God publicly while bowing to other gods privately. Sound familiar? Today's idols may look different (materialism, self-promotion, political obsession), but they're just as dangerous when prioritized above God. Yet amidst the sobering warnings, Zephaniah delivers one of Scripture's most tender promises: "The Lord your God is with you... He will rejoice over you with singing."Eddie Perez rounds out the trio with Amos, the farmer-turned-prophet who feared God more than men. Using the powerful metaphor of hands versus face, Eddie distinguishes between knowing about God (praising Him for what He does) and truly knowing Him (worshiping Him for who He is). Our prayer life, Eddie suggests, reveals our proximity to Jesus and determines how we respond when God commands.Whether you're questioning God's justice, struggling with divided loyalties, or longing for closer relationship with Him, these ancient voices speak directly to our modern condition. The real question is: will we have the courage to listen?How might your perspective shift if you understood that God loves you too much to let you destroy your soul? Join the conversation and discover what these overlooked prophets have to say to your heart today.Cornerstonehttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/Follow Jesushttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/follow-jesusLife Groups https://www.cornerstoneaz.org/life-groupsGiving https://cornerstoneaz.churchcenter.com/givingChurch Center App - Download then add Cornerstone Christian Center in Avondale, AZiOShttps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-church-center/id1357742931?mt=8&ls=1&ign-mpt=uo%3D4Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ministrycentered.churchcenter----Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cornerstoneazFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/cornerstoneaz.orgTwitterhttps://twitter.com/cornerstoneaz.org

Send us a textHave you ever found yourself running in the opposite direction of where God is clearly telling you to go? Jonah, that reluctant prophet from the Old Testament, took an over 2,000-mile detour away from his divine assignment to Nineveh.The fascinating thing about Jonah isn't just the dramatic "big fish" moment we all remember from Sunday School—it's why he ran in the first place. Unlike many biblical heroes who hesitated out of insecurity or fear, Jonah fled because he knew exactly what would happen if he succeeded. He understood God's compassionate nature so well that he was certain the Ninevites (people he despised) would repent and receive mercy. His prejudice was so strong that he literally preferred death over seeing his enemies forgiven.God's response wasn't abandonment but a divine "timeout"—three uncomfortable days in the belly of a great fish with heat, humidity, and darkness forcing Jonah to reconsider his choices. This wasn't punishment; it was redirection. And when Jonah finally delivered his reluctant five word sermon, an entire city turned to God, from the king down to the livestock.The story takes a surprising turn when, instead of celebrating this spiritual awakening, Jonah throws a temper tantrum. He's more concerned about losing the shade of a plant than the potential destruction of an entire population. Through this, God reveals the real issue: Jonah's heart didn't reflect divine compassion.What's your Nineveh? Who is God calling you to reach that you'd rather avoid? The beautiful promise throughout Jonah's story is that even when we run, God pursues—not to punish but to redirect us toward our true calling. And unlike Jonah's dramatic commission, our calling is simpler: just be more like Jesus to those around us. No prophetic warnings required, just authentic love and presence.Ready to explore what God might be calling you to?

Send us a textHave you ever felt like you're giving God your leftovers instead of your best? The Minor Prophets—those often-overlooked voices at the end of the Old Testament—speak with surprising relevance to our modern spiritual struggles.Through the voices of three speakers exploring Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi, we discover a common thread that weaves through these ancient messages: God wants our whole hearts, not our convenient offerings. Haggai challenges us to recognize divine grace even in difficult circumstances. When the Israelites prioritized their luxurious homes while God's temple lay in ruins, their efforts were frustrated—harvests failed, wages disappeared into "bags with holes." This wasn't punishment but redirection, a loving parent narrowing options to guide wayward children home. God's response to their obedience? "I am with you"—four words of profound comfort that still echo today whenever we return to Him.Zechariah speaks to those in low places through vivid night visions. A man standing among humble myrtle trees shows God's presence in our valleys. A high priest in filthy garments receives cleansing, not condemnation. A lampstand continuously fed by olive trees reminds us that our lives are sustained "not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit." When depression, anxiety, and grief make us wonder if God sees us, Zechariah whispers: "Return to me, and I will return to you."Malachi delivers the most pointed challenge: God doesn't want our leftovers. The Israelites brought blind and lame animals for sacrifice while keeping the best for themselves. "Try offering them to your governor!" God says. "Would he be pleased?" We're often guilty of the same—giving God our last fifteen minutes before sleep, our spare change after all bills are paid, our remaining energy after work exhausts us. God invites us to test Him by bringing our first fruits and watching Him "throw open the floodgates of heaven."Ready to stop giving God what falls from your table? Join us as we discover what happens when we put Him first again.Cornerstonehttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/Follow Jesushttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/follow-jesusLife Groups https://www.cornerstoneaz.org/life-groupsGiving https://cornerstoneaz.churchcenter.com/givingChurch Center App - Download then add Cornerstone Christian Center in Avondale, AZiOShttps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-church-center/id1357742931?mt=8&ls=1&ign-mpt=uo%3D4Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ministrycentered.churchcenter----Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cornerstoneazFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/cornerstoneaz.orgTwitterhttps://twitter.com/cornerstoneaz.org

Will the victim's family and the public get access to all the evidence in the Idaho4 murder case? This critical gag order hearing today could determine whether chilling details about Bryan Kohberger and the brutal murder of four young Idaho students are unsealed for the world to see. Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the show that brings you the #BestGuests in all of #truecrime. As families and media await more insight into Bryan Kohberger's motive, a critical gag order hearing is set for July 17, 2025 to determine if pre-sentencing restrictions on discussing court details will be lifted. This hearing could unlock new revelations about his alleged online alias and shed light on digital evidence tied to the case. STS Host Joel Waldman will be watching it live along with #BestGuests who will provide analysis. Bryan Kohberger confessed to the horrific November 13, 2022 stabbings of four University of Idaho students and plead guilty on July 2, 2025, to avoid the death penalty. He will now face four consecutive life sentences plus ten years and has given up his right to appeal. Evidence against him included DNA on a recovered knife sheath, phone data, and surveillance footage. We remember the lives of the four victims senselessly murdered in Moscow, Idaho: Ethan Chapin: A 20- year-old from Conway, Washington who was staying with his girlfriend, Xana Kernodle, the night of the murder. Ethan was a triplet. Kaylee Goncalves: A 21-year-old from Rathdrum, Idaho who was murdered in her home next to her best friend, Maddie. Xana Kernodle: A 20-year-old from Avondale, Arizona, who later lived in Post Falls, Idaho. She was murdered at her home with her close friends and boyfriend. Madison Mogen: A 21-year-old from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho who many believe was the intended target. Maddie was murdered next to her childhood best friend, Kaylee.More of STS:Links: Https://linktr.ee/stspodcastGet Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSTS Merch: Https://www.bonfire.com/store/sts-store/Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorCatch us live on YouTube: Surviving The Survivor: #BestGuests in True Crime - YouTubeVenmo Donations: @STSPodcast or Https://www.venmo.com/stspodcast#bryankohberger #trial #courtroomdrama #hearing #murdermystery #gagorder #stsnation #newsupdate #moscowidaho #idaho4update #truecrimecommunity #truecrimepodcast #truestory

We at Urbanist Media (and the Urban Roots podcast) are excited to have, yet again, celebrated Juneteenth with Cincinnati Public Radio.This year, we produced brand new ⁠Juneteenth Cincinnati Shorts⁠: weekly, 90-second tributes to people and places important to Cincinnati Black history and African American history. This one is all about Dr. Lucy Orinthia Oxley….—Dr. Lucy Oxley broke barriers as the first Black graduate of UC's medical program in 1935, only to be denied internships due to discrimination. Undeterred, she found opportunities at historically Black colleges outside Cincinnati and eventually returned to open a private practice, first in Walnut Hills and later in Avondale. This short dives into Dr. Oxley's story as a local pioneer in family medicine. Listen to the entire archive (2023-2025) on Cincinnati Public Radio's website: https://cinradio.org/juneteenth-special-programming-from-urbanist-media/—Juneteenth Cincinnati Shorts is brought to you by Urbanist Media's Urban Roots podcast team: Deqah Hussein-Wetzel (Executive Producer / Host & Narrator), Tania Mohammad (Producer / Story Editor), Vanessa Maria Quirk (Story Editor), and Connor Lynch (Audio Editor / Mixer).

KRCC's Mike Procell recently took a trip to Avondale to see what life is like around the center of the 719 Area Code Universe.

Tonight on The Panel, Wallace Chapman is joined by panellists Holly Bennett and David Farrar. Employers won't be able to stop staff from talking about their pay in new legislation being backed across the political spectrum, and film fans were outraged at Avondale's Hollywood Cinema when an entirely AI mini film played at the beginning of a screening.

It's an Espresso Edition (by our standards) of the pod this week and Josh, Nick & Ivka dive into the Dockerty Cup semi finals and catch-up round games.With a 3-1 upset win over Avondale, South Melbourne are officially 'Box Office' again. How has Sinisa Cohadzic transformed the playing style in the space of a few months? Meanwhile, a strange Avondale XI has the pod scratching our heads. Over at Olympic Village, Heidelberg put a beatdown on helpless VPL2 opposition, as Nunawading's magical run comes to a close.Elsewhere, Knights and Oakleigh play out a six-goal thriller that went right to the wire, and Josh was in attendance at CB Smith to make sure the lights stayed on for Brunswick Juventus v Werribee City.Plus, all our predictions for Round 22, as the title race and the battle for the top six heat up, and it's crunch time for the sides still marooned in the bottom three. The NPL Victoria Podcast is brought to you in 2025 by Melville Bodyworks, located at 106 Melville Rd Brunswick West.

Send us a textEver faced a moment when everything was stacked against you? Daniel's life in Babylon reveals what genuine faith looks like when confronted with impossible situations. Daniel and his friends encountered three life-threatening challenges that mirror our own spiritual battles: fear when Nebuchadnezzar demanded the impossible, fire when refusing to bow to idols, and fangs when Daniel's prayer life earned him a trip to the lions' den. In each impossible scenario, God transformed the situation into something remarkable.The fear of death became supernatural peace as God revealed Nebuchadnezzar's dream to Daniel. The fiery furnace meant to destroy Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego became an encounter with God's presence, as a fourth figure appeared walking with them among the flames. The lions' den designed to silence Daniel's devotion became a platform for God's provision as He shut the mouths of hungry predators.What stands out is how Daniel maintained unwavering integrity. He didn't compromise when offered the king's food, didn't hide his prayers when they became illegal, and didn't waver in his convictions when threatened with death. His testimony wasn't built on last-minute emergency prayers but on a lifestyle of consistent devotion—serving God "continually" as King Darius observed.This message challenges us to examine our own response to cultural pressure and spiritual threats. Are we bowing to the golden statues of our day? Are we praying only in emergencies or maintaining a consistent relationship with God? Do we believe God can transform our greatest threats into our greatest testimonies?The God who delivered Daniel is still working today, ready to transform your fear into peace, your fire into process, and your fangs into provision. Your trial has purpose beyond what you can see. Stand firm in your faith, and watch God show up powerfully in your impossible situation.Cornerstonehttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/Follow Jesushttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/follow-jesusLife Groups https://www.cornerstoneaz.org/life-groupsGiving https://cornerstoneaz.churchcenter.com/givingChurch Center App - Download then add Cornerstone Christian Center in Avondale, AZiOShttps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-church-center/id1357742931?mt=8&ls=1&ign-mpt=uo%3D4Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ministrycentered.churchcenter----Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cornerstoneazFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/cornerstoneaz.orgTwitterhttps://twitter.com/cornerstoneaz.org

Send us a textWhat does it cost to follow God's command when it breaks your heart? The story of Hosea provides a raw, unflinching look at what happens when God asks the unthinkable — to marry a woman who would repeatedly betray him as a living metaphor of Israel's unfaithfulness to God.Hosea, the first of the minor prophets, ministered for 60 years to the northern kingdom of Israel during a time when prosperity masked spiritual decay. As the nation cycled through six kings in just 20 years and mixed pagan worship practices with devotion to God, the Lord called Hosea to embody His heartbreak through a marriage destined for pain. Hosea's three children received names that proclaimed coming judgment: Jezreel ("God scatters"), Lo-Ruhamah ("no mercy"), and Lo-Ammi ("not my people").The most powerful aspect of this ancient story isn't the betrayal but the redemption. When Gomer eventually left Hosea, God commanded him to buy her back—redeeming her for half the price of a common slave. This extraordinary act mirrors God's persistent love for us despite our spiritual adultery.This story confronts us with uncomfortable questions: How have we been unfaithful to God? What "mixture" have we allowed into our lives—beliefs, practices, or priorities that contradict our professed faith? We may not bow before carved idols, but we often compartmentalize our faith while serving modern gods of wealth, pleasure, and status.Yet Hosea's ultimate message isn't condemnation but restoration. When asked what message should conclude this sermon, God's answer was beautifully simple: "Tell them I love them." Despite seeing every secret sin and public failure, God continues to choose us, redeem us, and love us with a passion that will chase us down.Whether you're exploring faith for the first time or have walked with God for decades, this message invites you to experience the transformative power of a love that refuses to give up on you. Join us in discovering what it means to be fully known, completely forgiven, and unconditionally loved.Cornerstonehttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/Follow Jesushttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/follow-jesusLife Groups https://www.cornerstoneaz.org/life-groupsGiving https://cornerstoneaz.churchcenter.com/givingChurch Center App - Download then add Cornerstone Christian Center in Avondale, AZiOShttps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-church-center/id1357742931?mt=8&ls=1&ign-mpt=uo%3D4Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ministrycentered.churchcenter----Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cornerstoneazFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/cornerstoneaz.orgTwitterhttps://twitter.com/cornerstoneaz.org

Send us a textPride, locusts, and divine justice take center stage as three voices from our community unpack powerful lessons from the Minor Prophets. Far from being footnotes in Scripture, these ancient messengers offer timely warnings that speak directly to our modern hearts.Barbara Burke begins by examining Obadiah's pointed message to Edom. What happens when generational bitterness festers into active hostility? The Edomites—descendants of Esau—not only refused to help their brother nation during invasion but actively participated in their destruction and gloated over their downfall. Their pride became their undoing. As Barbara powerfully reminds us, "Pride of heart is the attitude of a lie that declares its ability to live without God." How often do we walk out of worship only to live as if we can handle everything ourselves?Dave Henderson brings Joel's message to life, describing waves of locusts that stripped Judah bare—a divine wake-up call that eliminated even their ability to offer sacrifices. Yet God's message wasn't merely judgment but invitation: "Rend your hearts, not your garments." When genuine repentance followed, God promised restoration beyond imagination: "I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten." For those feeling stripped bare by life's difficulties, Joel offers hope that nothing is beyond God's restorative power.Angie concludes with Nahum's prophecy against Nineveh, revealing God as patient, powerful, and just. Though temporarily spared after Jonah's reluctant preaching, Nineveh returned to brutal practices and faced divine judgment. Yet even in pronouncing judgment, Nahum reminds us that "The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble. He knows those who take refuge in him."These prophetic voices collectively challenge our spiritual complacency and the small, incremental steps that gradually lead us away from God. Our culture prioritizes instant gratification—likes, follows, success without sacrifice—but the Minor Prophets remind us that temporary pleasure pales compared to lasting relationship with our Creator. As Angie perfectly summarizes, "Life with Jesus may not be easy, but it is always worth it."Have you examined your heart lately? What pride, injustice, or complacency might be keeping you from experiencing God's restoration? Draw near to Him today, and watch the impossible become possible.Cornerstonehttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/Follow Jesushttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/follow-jesusLife Groups https://www.cornerstoneaz.org/life-groupsGiving https://cornerstoneaz.churchcenter.com/givingChurch Center App - Download then add Cornerstone Christian Center in Avondale, AZiOShttps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-church-center/id1357742931?mt=8&ls=1&ign-mpt=uo%3D4Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ministrycentered.churchcenter----Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cornerstoneazFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/cornerstoneaz.orgTwitterhttps://twitter.com/cornerstoneaz.org

Send us a textEver misheard the lyrics to your favorite worship song? Those funny misinterpretations set the stage for a powerful exploration of what it truly means to hear God's voice in a noisy world.In this compelling message, we dive into the book of Micah—one of the twelve Minor Prophets whose small book carries an enormous message. Micah, an ordinary person from a small town outside Jerusalem, received an extraordinary vision: for the first time in biblical history, God declared that destruction would come to Jerusalem if its people didn't return to Him. Imagine the courage required to deliver such devastating news to powerful people in the capital city!Despite the stern warnings, Micah's prophecy wasn't without hope. God promised to preserve a "remnant" of faithful believers who would eventually rise up strong. Throughout history, God has consistently preserved these remnants of faith—people who remain committed to Him despite societal pressures. Many of us stand on the spiritual foundation built by faithful ancestors who prayed for future generations.At the heart of Micah's message lies a deceptively simple instruction found in Micah 6:8: "He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God." These three requirements aren't complicated to understand but require genuine character transformation to live out. "Do justice" by treating others fairly. "Love kindness" by genuinely delighting in showing kindness. "Walk humbly" by recognizing who God is and who we are in relation to Him.Join us on this journey through Micah's timeless message and discover how to stay the course in your walk with God. Don't let the world distort the lyrics of how you follow Jesus—listen to His voice and keep moving forward with Him.Cornerstonehttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/Follow Jesushttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/follow-jesusLife Groups https://www.cornerstoneaz.org/life-groupsGiving https://cornerstoneaz.churchcenter.com/givingChurch Center App - Download then add Cornerstone Christian Center in Avondale, AZiOShttps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-church-center/id1357742931?mt=8&ls=1&ign-mpt=uo%3D4Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ministrycentered.churchcenter----Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cornerstoneazFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/cornerstoneaz.orgTwitterhttps://twitter.com/cornerstoneaz.org

Send us a textYour Heavenly Father sees you, knows you, and has a purpose for your life. This Father's Day message delves into the profound truth that God is the perfect model of fatherhood—one who gives fish instead of serpents, eggs instead of scorpions.What does it mean to be a good father? Through personal stories of fishing adventures and campfire devotionals, we explore how earthly fathers can reflect God's heart to their children. The challenge for every man is clear: Will you speak blessing or curse? Will you provide nourishment or poison? Will you pass down generational brokenness or break the cycle through surrender to Christ?Luke 11 reminds us that even imperfect fathers know how to give good gifts to their children—how much more will our Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask! This empowerment is what transforms ordinary men into extraordinary fathers who can say with confidence, "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."Whether you're a father struggling with your own father wounds or seeking to leave a godly legacy for your children, this message offers hope. True courage isn't found in stoic independence but in humble dependence on God. It's found in asking forgiveness when you fail, getting back up when you fall, and modeling authentic faith for the next generation.The greatest Father's Day gift you can give your family isn't material possessions but a heart fully surrendered to Jesus. Join us as we discover how to knock on the right doors, seek God's direction, and live as men who reflect our good, good Father.Cornerstonehttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/Follow Jesushttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/follow-jesusLife Groups https://www.cornerstoneaz.org/life-groupsGiving https://cornerstoneaz.churchcenter.com/givingChurch Center App - Download then add Cornerstone Christian Center in Avondale, AZiOShttps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-church-center/id1357742931?mt=8&ls=1&ign-mpt=uo%3D4Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ministrycentered.churchcenter----Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cornerstoneazFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/cornerstoneaz.orgTwitterhttps://twitter.com/cornerstoneaz.org

Send us a textWhat happens when a young churchgoer's spiritual mountaintop experiences collide with the reality of everyday teenage life? Our pastor takes us on a deeply personal journey of his first encounter with the Holy Spirit—an uncoerced, transformative moment that sparked a lifelong understanding of what it truly means to be on fire for God.The tension is familiar to many believers: experiencing powerful moments in church while fighting God for control the moment we walk out the doors. "I wanted to feel good, I wanted to believe," he confesses, "but I also wanted to do my own thing." This raw honesty unlocks a profound truth about Holy Spirit baptism—it's not primarily about the spiritual feelings we crave but about empowerment for obedience to God's calling.Through a powerful examination of Pentecost and the early church's experience in Acts, we discover how God's presence moved from dwelling in temples to residing within believers. The transformation of Peter—from a fearful denier to a bold proclaimer—illustrates what happens when we surrender control and allow God's Spirit to work through us. "Your small yes turns into the big change that happens in the world because you consistently say yes to God."The message culminates in a life-changing truth: God's eternal plans far exceed our limited vision. When we trade our personal ambitions for divine purpose, we become vessels through which God can reach our families, communities, and beyond. "He wants to do something in you and through you that's greater than your plan for your life." Are you ready to be empowered by surrendering control and embracing what He wants to do through your life?Cornerstonehttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/Follow Jesushttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/follow-jesusLife Groups https://www.cornerstoneaz.org/life-groupsGiving https://cornerstoneaz.churchcenter.com/givingChurch Center App - Download then add Cornerstone Christian Center in Avondale, AZiOShttps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-church-center/id1357742931?mt=8&ls=1&ign-mpt=uo%3D4Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ministrycentered.churchcenter----Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cornerstoneazFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/cornerstoneaz.orgTwitterhttps://twitter.com/cornerstoneaz.org

Back in 2018, an unidentified woman was discovered dead and partially buried near an apartment complex in Avondale, a Cincinnati, Ohio neighborhood. For years, she was known only as the "Avondale Jane Doe" or the "Rose Lady."  Fast forward to 2025... and that woman has been identified. Thanks to the work of investigators with the Hamilton County Coroner's Office, the Ohio BCI, and the FBI, Patricia Collina Goodwin's family members finally have some answers.  In this episode of Season Two of Cincinnati's Crime Vault: Beyond the Broadcast, Investigative Reporter and TV News Anchor Jessica Schmidt shares the full update on this investigation and breaks down how DNA and forensic genetic genealogy solved this case.  Cincinnati's Crime Vault is an award-winning news series on FOX19 Now.

Send us a textWhat does it mean to be "clothed with power from on high"? This question forms the heart of today's exploration into spiritual transformation and mission effectiveness.Looking out from Shakespeare & Company bookstore in Paris onto Notre Dame Cathedral, our narrative begins with an honest confession of missionary frustration. How do we become light in spiritual darkness? The answer wasn't found in grand strategies but in surrendering to God's power working through ordinary relationships.The stories shared transport us from the bustling streets of Paris to intimate moments of transformation—Kwabena finding God just days after arriving in a new country, Nam abandoning Buddhism for Christ, Mohamed coming to church seeking romance but finding salvation, and Christophe surrendering to Jesus in the shadow of the Grand Arch (ironically built to symbolize humanity's advancement beyond religion). Each story demonstrates how God's power works through faithful presence and authentic connections.At the core of this message lies Luke 24:48-49, where Jesus promises to clothe His followers with power from on high. This clothing isn't merely a covering but a complete empowerment that transforms our effectiveness. We discover that being clothed with power requires recognition of our limitation, submission to Holy Spirit's leading, and faithful obedience in small things before greater responsibility.The imagery of fire recurs throughout—not just any fire, but one that creates sparks that fly outward, igniting transformation in others. This divine power operates not through overwhelming force but through one relationship at a time, starting in our immediate sphere of influence before expanding outward.The profound promise "I am with you" anchors everything. We're never alone in this mission because the very power we need is available through His presence. Will you allow yourself to be clothed with this power today? Take a moment now to surrender your limitations and ask for fresh fire that doesn't just warm you but ignites transformation in everyone you touch.Cornerstonehttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/Follow Jesushttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/follow-jesusLife Groups https://www.cornerstoneaz.org/life-groupsGiving https://cornerstoneaz.churchcenter.com/givingChurch Center App - Download then add Cornerstone Christian Center in Avondale, AZiOShttps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-church-center/id1357742931?mt=8&ls=1&ign-mpt=uo%3D4Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ministrycentered.churchcenter----Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cornerstoneazFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/cornerstoneaz.orgTwitterhttps://twitter.com/cornerstoneaz.org

Send us a textHave you ever stopped to consider what truly ignites your passion? Many of us pour tremendous energy into hobbies, sports, entertainment, and countless other pursuits—yet something deeper calls us to examine what we're genuinely "on fire" for.This powerful message challenges us to look beyond our temporary enthusiasms to discover what drives us at our core. Just as ancient travelers always carried fire for survival, we need spiritual fire to thrive in our faith journey. But unlike physical flames that eventually die out, the fire of God within us can burn eternally—if we tend to it properly.Drawing from Paul's encouragement to Timothy to "fan into flame the gift of God," we explore how a vibrant spiritual life requires the same elements as a physical fire: fuel, oxygen, and a spark. The Holy Spirit works as that divine breath, igniting our small embers of faith into powerful flames that transform not only our lives but the lives of those around us. We discover that God hasn't equipped us with a spirit of fear, but one of power, love, and self-control—everything we need to live with passion and purpose.Many believers experience seasons where their spiritual fire dims to barely glowing embers. Perhaps you've felt this too—going through religious motions while missing the vibrant connection with God you once enjoyed. This message offers practical wisdom for rekindling that flame through intentional communion with the Holy Spirit, who Jesus promised would dwell with us and in us as our helper and guide.The beautiful promise remains: God's steadfast love endures forever, and His faithfulness extends to all generations. As you listen, you'll be challenged to examine what might be smothering your spiritual fire and encouraged to embrace the transformative power of a heart truly ablaze for God. Are you ready to reignite what matters most?Cornerstonehttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/Follow Jesushttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/follow-jesusLife Groups https://www.cornerstoneaz.org/life-groupsGiving https://cornerstoneaz.churchcenter.com/givingChurch Center App - Download then add Cornerstone Christian Center in Avondale, AZiOShttps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-church-center/id1357742931?mt=8&ls=1&ign-mpt=uo%3D4Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ministrycentered.churchcenter----Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cornerstoneazFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/cornerstoneaz.orgTwitterhttps://twitter.com/cornerstoneaz.org

Send us a textWhat does it mean to truly love God with everything you have? Dr. Scott Martin tackles this fundamental question as he shares his remarkable life journey from an orphaned boy in inner-city Phoenix to a missionary spanning four decades across the world.Scott's story begins in adversity – losing his mother at age eight, never knowing his biological father, and living with his grandmother in challenging circumstances. Yet through the love of a church family who eventually adopted him, Scott discovered his purpose in Christ. This transformation set him on a path that would lead him to minister on university campuses, plant churches in Central Asia, lead national campus ministries, and now embark on a new mission to Iceland in what he calls the "fourth quarter" of his ministry life.At the heart of Scott's message are what he terms "the two greats" – the Great Commandment to love God completely and love others sacrificially, and the Great Commission to make disciples of all nations. He emphasizes that the primary verb in the Great Commission isn't "go" but "make disciples" – a crucial distinction that shapes how we understand our mission as believers. Through powerful stories from his work in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, Scott demonstrates how God orchestrates divine appointments when we follow His leading.Perhaps most compelling is Scott's account of his calling to Iceland – a nation that has never experienced a Christian awakening in its 1100+ year history, where 99.8% of college-age citizens don't believe in God. Through multiple prophetic confirmations, including discovering that a key Icelandic couple they're meant to disciple were former students in their ministry, Scott and his wife Crystal have witnessed God's supernatural preparation for this new chapter.Are you living as a person of purpose, destiny, and vision? Scott challenges us to evaluate how completely we love God and how willing we are to follow wherever He leads – because our obedience today could be the divine appointment someone else needs to find their eternal destiny.Cornerstonehttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/Follow Jesushttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/follow-jesusLife Groups https://www.cornerstoneaz.org/life-groupsGiving https://cornerstoneaz.churchcenter.com/givingChurch Center App - Download then add Cornerstone Christian Center in Avondale, AZiOShttps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-church-center/id1357742931?mt=8&ls=1&ign-mpt=uo%3D4Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ministrycentered.churchcenter----Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cornerstoneazFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/cornerstoneaz.orgTwitterhttps://twitter.com/cornerstoneaz.org

Southeastern Pennsylvania is not typically at the top of the list of renowned wine regions of the world. Yet that is exactly why we stopped into the tasting room at Va La Family Vineyard.

Karen Frey's testimony is a powerful reminder of God's redemptive work. With deep roots tied to the Desert Springs church building, Karen's story is one of full-circle grace—how God gently led her back to a place she once thought she had left behind for good. Originally from Indiana, Karen fondly recalls how her mother faithfully brought the family to church every Sunday. She cherished that church community, being present whenever the church doors were open. That formative experience planted a seed in her heart, a longing for deep, authentic fellowship with God's people. In 2000, after moving to Arizona, Karen and her sons began attending a church that met at Westview High School in Avondale. It quickly became home. The tight-knit community supported her through one of the most difficult seasons of her life as she went through a divorce. The women in her small group were especially instrumental, surrounding her with prayer, encouragement, and love. As the church grew, exciting plans were made to build a new church and school in Goodyear. The future looked bright. But everything changed when troubling revelations came to light, ultimately leading to the heartbreaking dissolution of both the church and the school in 2006. The loss was devastating. Though Karen never turned her back on God, the disillusionment she felt made it difficult to re-engage with another church. After years of searching and disappointment, she stepped away from church life altogether. For five years, she lived in the tension of believing in God while feeling disconnected from His people. But in early 2019, God, ever faithful, began to stir her heart once more. Through His grace and kindness, He drew her back to community and back into fellowship. And in the most unexpected twist, He brought her right back to the very place where so much had once unraveled. Karen's journey is a beautiful testimony of healing, restoration, and God's unwavering pursuit of His people.Ashley Nochevich's testimony (Karen's daughter-in-law!), Episode 137Want to share your story on The Stories Collective podcast in 2025?

Send us a textWhat if the physical bags we carry are a perfect metaphor for our spiritual journey? Pastor Celeste reveals this striking parallel in her Mother's Day message, taking us from the carefree days of a small clutch to the overflowing reality of a mom bag.Remember when you first embraced faith? Your spiritual bag was light—filled only with prayer, joy, peace, and praise. You easily cast your burdens on the Lord because you truly believed Psalm 55:22: "Cast your burden on the Lord and he will sustain you." But somewhere along the way, something changed.Like the woman who transitions from a small purse to a medium-sized bag after marriage, we begin taking on burdens that aren't ours to carry. We pick up offenses for others. We stress about situations we can't control. We harbor hurts from years ago. Our spiritual bags become so heavy that we struggle to move forward in our faith journey."You are trying to fix problems that you cannot fix," Pastor Celeste explains. "It is not for you to fix, it is for Him." This powerful reminder echoes Jesus's invitation in Matthew 11:28-30 to take His yoke instead—a yoke that's easy and a burden that's light.The image of being yoked with Jesus is beautiful. In biblical times, a young ox would be paired with a seasoned ox to learn how to plow. The experienced animal would bear most of the weight and guide the younger one. This is exactly what Jesus offers us—not a burden-free life, but a shared load with the One strong enough to carry it.Ready to clean out your spiritual bag? It's time to return to the necessities: prayer, joy, peace, and praise. Leave the rest at Jesus's feet.

Send us a textWhat are you carrying that's weighing you down? In this powerful message on spiritual readiness, we explore the concept of "everyday carry" from a biblical perspective. While some of us meticulously prepare go-bags and survival kits for physical emergencies, we often neglect the more essential preparation of our hearts and minds.The challenge many of us face isn't about lacking equipment but operating from a place of fear rather than faith. When fear motivates our preparation, we miss the freedom God intends. Through personal stories and scriptural truth, we discover how Jesus calls us to carry our cross daily – not as a burden, but as an alignment with His purposes that brings unexpected freedom.Drawing from Philippians 4, we unpack Paul's powerful declaration: "I can do all things through him who strengthens me." This isn't about superhuman abilities but about finding supernatural contentment and strength regardless of circumstances. The beloved words of Psalm 23 remind us that even in the valley of death's shadow, God's presence transforms our experience entirely.Many of us are carrying stones of past mistakes, broken promises, painful words spoken over us, and recurring sins. These weigh us down unnecessarily when Christ offers something much lighter: "My yoke is easy, and my burden is light." True spiritual readiness means trading our heavy rocks for His light burden and walking in the freedom only Jesus provides.Ready to lighten your load? Join us for this life-changing journey toward carrying what truly matters. Whether you're a longtime follower or just exploring faith, you'll discover practical ways to be spiritually prepared for whatever comes your way. Cornerstonehttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/Follow Jesushttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/follow-jesusLife Groups https://www.cornerstoneaz.org/life-groupsGiving https://cornerstoneaz.churchcenter.com/givingChurch Center App - Download then add Cornerstone Christian Center in Avondale, AZiOShttps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-church-center/id1357742931?mt=8&ls=1&ign-mpt=uo%3D4Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ministrycentered.churchcenter----Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cornerstoneazFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/cornerstoneaz.orgTwitterhttps://twitter.com/cornerstoneaz.org

Send us a textWhat do you carry with you every day? Keys, wallet, phone—these items help us feel prepared for whatever the day might bring. But what about spiritual preparation?Our new series "Everyday Carry" opens with a thought-provoking message about the armor of God and how we prepare ourselves spiritually for daily battles. Through a humorous story about accidentally bringing a pocket knife through airport security in Europe, we're reminded that we can carry all the right physical tools and still be spiritually unprepared.Jesus challenges us in Luke 9 to "take up your cross daily and follow me"—emphasizing that spiritual readiness is a daily commitment, not a weekend activity. When we're caught unprepared spiritually, we're vulnerable to attacks that could have been prevented.The armor of God in Ephesians 6 provides a powerful framework for spiritual preparedness: the belt of truth that anchors us in honesty, the breastplate of righteousness that protects our heart while keeping it open to God and others, shoes of peace that carry God's presence wherever we walk, the shield of faith that blocks spiritual attacks, the helmet of salvation that gives us the mind of Christ, and the sword of the Spirit—God's Word—that becomes our weapon against darkness.Most compelling is the realization that while we might forget our physical tools, our spiritual armor should never be left behind. Faith becomes our currency in God's kingdom, blocking attacks of doubt, fear and anxiety. The peace of God doesn't just rest within us but goes before us into our homes, workplaces, and relationships.Are you fully equipped for today's spiritual battles? The greatest thing you can carry isn't something that fits in your pocket—it's the presence and protection of God that goes with you everywhere.

Send us a textThe resurrection of Jesus isn't just a historical event—it's the cornerstone of our faith and the source of transformative power in our lives today. Pastor J opens his heart with raw vulnerability, sharing how he drifted from his faith despite growing up in church. When bitterness took root, he pursued his own path until a horrific car accident on a California freeway became his wake-up call. Hanging between life and death, his face split open and bleeding, J cried out to Jesus—suddenly aware he wasn't ready to meet God.That near-death experience revealed a profound truth that echoes through this Easter message: God isn't finished with you yet. No matter your mistakes, your regrets, or how far you've wandered, resurrection power offers a fresh start and a new identity. "You are not your mistakes," Pastor J declares. "You are a child of God."Through powerful scripture passages from John and Luke, we journey from humanity's separation from God to the empty tomb where angels proclaimed, "Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen!" This resurrection transforms everything—making us new creations, not just improved versions of our old selves.The message culminates in a moving invitation to experience this resurrection power personally. Whether accepting Christ for the first time or recommitting to follow Him wholeheartedly, dozens respond to the call to say "yes" to Jesus. Because when we understand what happened that first Easter morning, we can't help but run toward the open arms of the One who conquered death for us.What area of your life needs resurrection power today? God is waiting to make all things new.Cornerstonehttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/Follow Jesushttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/follow-jesusLife Groups https://www.cornerstoneaz.org/life-groupsGiving https://cornerstoneaz.churchcenter.com/givingChurch Center App - Download then add Cornerstone Christian Center in Avondale, AZiOShttps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-church-center/id1357742931?mt=8&ls=1&ign-mpt=uo%3D4Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ministrycentered.churchcenter----Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cornerstoneazFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/cornerstoneaz.orgTwitterhttps://twitter.com/cornerstoneaz.org

Send us a textThe triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday reveals a profound spiritual truth—we can declare His victory even before we see it manifest in our circumstances. As the crowd laid palm branches and personal cloaks before Jesus, they were making powerful declarations about His worth and identity as the promised Messiah.Those palm fronds weren't just convenient decorations; in the scorching Middle Eastern climate, they represented precious shade. By cutting and laying them down, people demonstrated that Jesus was worth more than their comfort. Similarly, their cloaks represented social status and personal identity—laying these down showed a willingness to surrender everything for Christ. These weren't empty gestures but heartfelt expressions of worship flowing from deep conviction about who Jesus was.This Palm Sunday message challenges us to examine what we're declaring through our worship. Are we lifting high the name of Jesus with the same enthusiasm we show for sports teams or entertainment? Are we making declarative statements about His victory over our circumstances, regardless of what we can currently see? The crowd's cries of "Hosanna to the Son of David" recognized Jesus as the fulfillment of prophecy, even though they didn't fully understand the spiritual nature of His kingdom.The cleansing of the temple further illustrates how Jesus makes room for holy purposes. By driving out those who had commercialized worship, He created space for healing the blind and lame. Similarly, He wants to clear away anything in our lives that hinders His work of restoration and transformation.

Send us a textWhat happens when God disrupts your vision and redirects your focus to places no one wants to go? Mark and Dalene Good share their remarkable 30-year journey as missionaries, from Bangladesh to France and now to the overlooked Benelux region of Europe.These veteran church planters take us through a spiritual eye exam, challenging us to develop the three dimensions of spiritual vision: eyesight (seeing what God sees), insight (feeling what God feels), and foresight (knowing what to do about it). Through powerful stories like Clara, a trafficked woman who experienced God's intervention when a client tried to strangle her, and Julie, a skeptical French student who eventually asked to study the Bible, we glimpse the spiritual hunger beneath Europe's secular exterior.The spiritual crisis in Europe is more severe than most realize. In France, where secularism was born, faith in God has been replaced with faith in self, leading to epidemic levels of mental health struggles. "We were never designed to be God," Mark explains. "We were never designed to wear the weight of having to be God in our lives, and it's literally crushing people to death." In Luxembourg, merely 0.25% of the population knows Jesus, while Belgium's Dutch-speaking region has only 40 small churches averaging 15 people each, mostly led by aging pastors with no successors.This message parallels Paul's vision in Acts 16, where a Macedonian man begged him to "come over and help us." Just as Macedonia was an overlooked military buffer zone in Paul's day, Benelux occupies a similar position today – overrun in wars, not a destination anyone chooses, yet desperately in need of the gospel. If we could hear Europeans' spiritual cry, Mark suggests, it would be "an SOS with two exclamation points."What barriers is God asking you to cross? Whether it's praying more intentionally for unreached peoples, giving sacrificially to missions, or stepping out in faith to share Christ with a neighbor, the Goods' testimony reminds us that when we obey God's redirections, He provides everything we need for the journey.Cornerstonehttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/Follow Jesushttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/follow-jesusLife Groups https://www.cornerstoneaz.org/life-groupsGiving https://cornerstoneaz.churchcenter.com/givingChurch Center App - Download then add Cornerstone Christian Center in Avondale, AZiOShttps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-church-center/id1357742931?mt=8&ls=1&ign-mpt=uo%3D4Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ministrycentered.churchcenter----Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cornerstoneazFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/cornerstoneaz.orgTwitterhttps://twitter.com/cornerstoneaz.org

3-11-25 Tonight we're hanging out with Jason Elder, a home mead maker from Kansas City. His name shows up regularly on the comp results, and I can confirm he makes some pretty ‘ok' mead. Jason has been homebrewing in Kansas City since 2010 and started making Mead and Cider in 2016. He wanted to broaden his brewing experience and found that his love for making mead was higher than for making beer. He's won awards at several competitions such as NHC and Mazer Cup. He's considered the "Honey person" for Kansas City as since he has over 2000lbs of honey in storage and about 110 different varieties. He loves talking and drinking anything mead and enjoys mentoring people that are new to mead and are interested in making it for themselves. Jason is a BJCP Judge in Beer, Mead and Cider and is also a proctor for Cider exams. Jason was President of the Kansas City Bier Meisters for 2 years as well as an officer on their board for 2 years before that. He has also been the First Round site organizer in Kansas City for the past 5 years as well as part of the Mazer Cup staff for the past 2 years. He believes that he brings a unique perspective from his experience and knowledge along with a flair from the Plains! Join us to chat with Jason and talk mead!
