The right-wing dating site Whitedate.net, dubbed the ‘Nazi Tinder', has dozens of members across Ireland. But only one of them mentions love as a motivation, many mention the need to “breed” for the “white race”. The site's thousands of profiles were leaked online after a hack. A lonely Belfast man said he was looking for a “lady who has never been soiled by other races” and “a bride willing to have children, in order to stop the destruction of our people.” Olivia Peden is joined by Belfast Telegraph reporter Kurtis Reid. *This podcast was first published by our sister podcast The BelTel on Mon Jan 19th 2026.* See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary and long-awaited vinyl release of Atomic Kitten's debut album "Right Now", we're diving into the version that finally made them stars: the 2001 re-release featuring Jenny Frost.In this episode, Chris and Chantel Nicole give a track-by-track honest review, comparing the Kerry vs. Jenny versions, the original 2000 UK release, the Japanese edition, and how "Right Now" evolved from a commercial disappointment to a true British pop comeback story - thanks to the massive success of "Whole Again".Join us on Patreon!: https://www.patreon.com/CCTVPOPSFollow us on social media: https://linktr.ee/cctvpops0:00 - Intro0:51 - "Right Now" Album Info2:19 - Album Covers6:30 - "Right Now"19:36 - "Follow Me"29:21 - "Whole Again"45:03 - "Eternal Flame"54:22 - "Tomorrow And Tonight"59:29 - "Get Real"1:04:52 - "Turn Me On"1:09:54 - "Hippy"1:15:48 - "You Are"1:22:47 - "Cradle"1:29:39 - "Bye Now"1:35:38 - "Strangers"1:41:43 - "See Ya"1:48:56 - "I Want Your Love"1:56:32 - Cut or Keep1:58:37 - Overall Thoughts & Final RatingReferences:“Right Now” MV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yynstc_bFRE&pp=ygUXYXRvbWljIGtpdHRlbiByaWdodCBub3c%3D “Right Now” Live on TOTP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zgz_pVkvcs&pp=ygUcYXRvbWljIGtpdHRlbiByaWdodCBub3cgbGl2ZQ%3D%3D “Right Now” Live on Childline https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_5L8i4cE6g&pp=ygUiYXRvbWljIGtpdHRlbiBqZW5ueSByaWdodCBub3cgMjAwMQ%3D%3D “Right Now 2004” MV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcdpvPrhFiw&pp=ygUXYXRvbWljIGtpdHRlbiByaWdodCBub3c%3D“Right Now” 2002 Tour Live in Belfast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcWGLeXzfB0&pp=ygUdYXRvbWljIGtpdHRlbiBqZW5ueSByaWdodCBub3c%3D“Follow Me” MV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVmngi0pr9A&pp=ygUXYXRvbWljIGtpdHRlbiBmb2xsb3cgbWU%3D“Follow Me” Live at CD:UK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxi8I7p0eCA&pp=ygUXYXRvbWljIGtpdHRlbiBmb2xsb3cgbWU%3D“Whole Again” MV with Kerry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9B5JxwtZ0I&t=14s&pp=ygUZYXRvbWljIGtpdHRlbiB3aG9sZSBhZ2Fpbg%3D%3D “Whole Again” MV with Jenny https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1V0xQkk9kbc&pp=ygUZYXRvbWljIGtpdHRlbiB3aG9sZSBhZ2Fpbg%3D%3D “Whole Again” US MV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RYy_k6-rlc&pp=ygUZYXRvbWljIGtpdHRlbiB3aG9sZSBhZ2Fpbg%3D%3D “Whole Again” Live at TOTP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOD2lyElUh0 “Whole Again” Live at the Big Reunion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gQ_MfAID7Q&pp=ygUeYXRvbWljIGtpdHRlbiB3aG9sZSBhZ2FpbiBsaXZl0gcJCU8KAYcqIYzv “Eternal Flame” MV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aztY_fpjJeQ&pp=ygUbYXRvbWljIGtpdHRlbiBldGVybmFsIGZsYW1l“Eternal Flame” Live at TOTP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0ZX7Rfwuh4&pp=ygUbYXRvbWljIGtpdHRlbiBldGVybmFsIGZsYW1l “Get Real” Live at SM:TV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5yxTuXGJL4&pp=ygUWYXRvbWljIGtpdHRlbiBnZXQgcmVhbA%3D%3D “Turn Me On” Live at CD:UK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOVdHb7gQqY&pp=ygUYYXRvbWljIGtpdHRlbiB0dXJuIG1lIG9u“You Are” MV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5u-N_EtVESQ&pp=ygUVYXRvbWljIGtpdHRlbiB5b3UgYXJl0gcJCU8KAYcqIYzv“You Are” Live at CD:UK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cealLv0qVUk “Cradle” Japanese MV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iO9C3hDu5U&pp=ygUUYXRvbWljIGtpdHRlbiBjcmFkbGU%3D“Cradle” Original Mix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oe0u-0xGL0s “Cradle 2005” MV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O471IU1ZbSI&pp=ygUUYXRvbWljIGtpdHRlbiBjcmFkbGU%3D“Strangers” Live at L2 Liverpool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9Lbsza0-aY&pp=ygUXYXRvbWljIGtpdHRlbiBzdHJhbmdlcnM%3D “See Ya” MV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1VwkZvU8Vc&pp=ygUUYXRvbWljIGtpdHRlbiBzZWUgeWE%3D“See Ya” Live at TOTP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30ujHk7fvWg&pp=ygUUYXRvbWljIGtpdHRlbiBzZWUgeWE%3D“I Want Your Love” MV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwsQFAwW_KM&pp=ygUdYXRvbWljIGtpdHRlbiBpIHdhbnQgb3VyIGxvdmU%3D“I Want Your Love” Live at TOTP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4iF04BG9LI&pp=ygUdYXRvbWljIGtpdHRlbiBpIHdhbnQgb3VyIGxvdmU%3D

Jimmy Nesbitt is one of the guests we've always wanted to get on the podcast. He doesn't do many interviews, so we're thrilled he chose to sit down with us and look back at his extraordinary career. From his very first performance (aged 5) he recognised the buzz he got from performing, and having started as a comic actor his portrayals of The Throubles in Bloody Sunday showed the world what a versatile performer he is. Since then he's taken roles which (in his own words) mean he's lost about four children and as a cop about ten partners - and he's now starring in one of the world's most-watched shows; Harlen Coben's Run Away on Netflix. James spoke to us from his home in Belfast after an extremely busy start to the year and reminisced about his Dad and everything he taught him (literally - his Dad was his primary school teacher), the people in his life who've changed the narrative - like Director Paul Greengrass who cast James in Bloody Sunday. It's a fabulous chat, so we hope you can find somewhere to enjoy it. As ever - thanks for listening, and cheers! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode we share two conversations with people we met in Manorhamilton in the Republic of Ireland, just across the border from Northern Ireland. Like so many things, conflict and tensions are not confined within a political line that is drawn on the map.Gerry Creamer is the youngest of five children. He grew up in a traditional and  devoutly Catholic family in the Republic of Ireland, close to the border with the North. Although he has several family members who have been active in politics, Gerry is more interested in community work and spends his time trying to find funding for programs that can make his community a better place to live.Elaine O'Hara has spent most of her life in Manorhamilton with short stays in Cork and Belfast, just after the signing of the Good Friday Agreement. She is active with a women's group in Manorhamilton. Although life has taken some unexpected turns, she says she knows who she is, she holds her head up high, and she is immensely proud of the three sons she has raised.Credits:Photos and text, John NoltnerField production, summer interns Kate West, Sawyer Garrison, and Kaitlin ImaiAudio Engineering, Razik SaifullahThanks for listening to A Peace of My Mind's podcast.

The event will take place on the 12th of February 7pm at the Malone Lodge.  Kitson Praises Paras in BallymurphyI recently came across the autobiography of British General Sir Frank Kitson which was published last year shortly after his death. It is titled ‘Intelligent Warfare' an oxymoron in any language. In truth it is an account of British military failures through several colonial wars in which Kitson fought, including in Ireland. It is also a reflection of Kitson's enormous personal ego.Kitson came to prominence within the British military hierarchy in the 1950s during its efforts to crush the independence rebellion in Kenya. He established counter-gangs that tortured and killed Kenyan civilians. The groups were made up of British soldiers, including Kitson on occasion, and former members of those fighting against British rule. Tens of thousands of Kenyans ended up in over 150 detention camps where they were brutalized. An estimated 30,000 Kenyans were killed; one and a half million were interned; torture was commonplace and 1090 were hanged.While Kitson boasts of his role in the counter-gangs he ignores the human rights violations that underpinned British strategy in that African country.In 1970 he took command of the 39th Brigade – which covered Belfast and surrounding region. In the same year he published ‘Low Intensity Operations' which quickly became the standard text book for the British Army's counter-insurgency strategy in the following decades. A Raffle for Jim Fitzpatrick limited edition printThe Moore Street Preservation Trust is raffling our hugely popular Elizabeth O'Farrell print - a unique, framed print designed and signed by the renowned Irish artist Jim Fitzpatrick.

This week on Everything Trackside, Seán, Mairead and Coops sit down with one of Irish motorsport's true trailblazers — Derek Daly.From jumping off a school bus in Dundrum and laying hands on a Brabham with a shamrock on the door, to lining up beside James Hunt on an F1 grid just 13 months after Formula Ford, Derek's story is as Irish as it is unbelievable.In a wide-ranging and deeply personal conversation, Derek takes us through:

Send us a textFor the episode I'm joined by ex Royal Ulster Constabulary and PSNI officer Sam Thompson. Sam spent his teen years growing up in a 1970s Belfast and remembers seeing his city descend into chaos and violence as the conflict erupted. Despite this Sam elected to join the police force which brought him face to face with danger in some of Northern Ireland's most deadly areas including East Tyrone, Armagh and Springfield Road in Belfast.Sam shares stories about narrowly avoiding death at the hands of the IRA 3 times within a week and how some of his fellow officers weren't so quite lucky.We spoke about the importance of conversations about the conflict and of preserving the stories/memories of those who were there as well as how Sam ended up making friends with ex republican paramilitaries. 00:00 Making friends with ex-IRA men 06:25 Growing up 19:30 Joining the RUC 38:40 INLA in Armagh 43:45 British soldiers telling Loyalists that they're “Not British”47:07 BELFAST (Springfield Road station)57:00 UDR 59:55 Collusion ?1:29:15 Most memorable moments from Sam's career1:32:15 Thoughts “Say Nothing” tv series 1:35:45 Sam's writing 1:43:00 Common misconceptions  BUY SAM's NOVEL: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nights-Armour-Samuel-Thompson/dp/178117699XPLEASE HELP OUT THE SHOW IF YOU CAN SPARE IT..

I had a searingly honest chat with Mark, host of the Belfast Bapcast, in-person in his studio. This conversation barely touched on music, just for a change. Mark's own words describe what was covered instead:In this conversation, Mark Devlin joins me for a grounded, unhurried discussion on culture, power, and the psychological consequences of prolonged inquiry.Rather than revisiting surface-level talking points, we explore how cultural systems shape behaviour, belief, and identity — and what it actually costs a person to see clearly over time.Off-camera, the conversation went even deeper into personal territory, touching on the human toll of research, isolation, and responsibility. What you hear here is a distilled, calm exchange between two people who are no longer interested in spectacle — only orientation.*If you have found value in my output and would like to help it continue, please consider supporting me in one of the following ways:Real gold bullion available from this source.

Israel Eguaogie was 17 when he left Nigeria and relocated to Germany as an asylum seeker. A decade later he moved to Dublin and soon after that, shifted north to Belfast. It was a decision that horrified his mother back in Nigeria, who had heard news reports of the sectarian violence in the country. But Israel said that he experienced the calm and the peace of Northern Ireland and recalled it was the first place since living in Germany, where someone said hello to him first.Israel has also experienced racism in Northern Ireland, and in recent public protests and violence directed at immigrants, Israel says he is concerned that previous rivals in the Protestant and Catholic communities will find unifying common ground in their backlash against newcomers, and that the rocks they once threw at each other will now land on the immigrants instead.Credits:Photos and text, John NoltnerField production, summer interns Kate West, Sawyer Garrison, and Kaitlin ImaiAudio Engineering, Razik SaifullahThanks for listening to A Peace of My Mind's podcast.

In the spring of 1941, Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland, braced for incoming attacks from German bombers. Over April and May, four German air raids killed thousands of Belfast residents. Lucy Caldwell's novel These Days is set during this time. In today's episode, she speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about a piece of writing advice from Gabriel García Márquez, what she learned from survivors of the Belfast Blitz, and why she wanted to share this chapter in her city's history.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

David Tyler, co-founder of Artemis Technologies, described the company’s mission to decarbonize high-speed maritime transport, leveraging expertise from the Artemis Racing America’s Cup team. On episode 312 of The Green Insider, we discuss detailing their innovative e-foiler technology that significantly reduces fuel consumption and emissions in passenger ferries. On today's episode, David Tyler details Artemis Technologies’ efforts to decarbonize high-speed maritime transport. Here's a summary of today's show: Artemis Technologies focuses on using hydrofoil technology to reduce fuel consumption in high-speed passenger ferries, making electric propulsion viable for short-haul routes. The company's e-foiler technology reduces battery usage by 80%, allowing ferries to travel 4–5 times further with the same energy. The technology is cost-effective for high-mileage operations, with a projected 3-year payback period for busy routes such as Manhattan–Rockaway in New York. Artemis Technologies plans to scale up the technology for larger ferries and aims to reduce local emissions of pollutants like NOx and particulate matter. Their foil-assisted boats offer a smooth, quiet ride and are easier to operate than traditional vessels. For 2026, the company plans to deliver pilot vessels to ports in Antwerp, Abu Dhabi, and Sweden, and launch the first EF24 passenger ferry in Belfast.

In the second episode, reacting to the Peterson/Jenkins conversation, Daniel honed in on how the show depicts Jesus. Jenkins gives his philosophy of art and filmmaking and how he is attempting to "take Jesus down from the stained glass." Daniel argues that Dallas is actually updating the stained glass we have put Jesus on.

Luke and Daniel see the trend of modernism doing no favors for a vibrant view of scripture. Our goal is to widen the field of vision for modern people reading the Bible as we grapple with its ancient context, literary beauty, and symbolic underpinnings. You may have been taught to read texts with an eye for their literary and symbolic structures in English courses in high school and/or college, but rarely is this taught to seminary students or lay Christians alike when it comes to the Bible. We want to keep this eye for symbolism, repetition, and structure as we investigate the Biblical canon, linking it to modern and old examples that are extemporaneous yet connected to aid in giving the broader field of vision mentioned earlier. Come along with us on our journey to reread your bible for the first time. We hope that through the words of those who have come before us, we can give Western Christianity its imagination back.

If you're planning a trip to Ireland in 2026 these tips will make planning smoother, help you avoid crowds, and maybe even save you a bit of money. Probably the most important tips are when NOT to be in Dublin, but there are some updates to European entry & exit systems that you need to know, as well as really important advice for 2027. Jody Halsted – Ireland Family Vacations and the Traveling in Ireland podcast In case you're wondering why you would want to get your Ireland travel advice from me… My name is Jody Halsted, and I am an Ireland travel advisor. I have been traveling to and through Ireland for over 23 years (!!), publish Ireland Family Vacations, host the Traveling in Ireland podcast, assist hundreds of travelers with their Ireland vacations each year and, occasionally, I also host small group tours through Ireland (I have 2 this spring so you can look forward to some live from Ireland episodes in April and May). That's a lot! But Ireland travel is my passion; and my goal -100% – is to help you have an amazing Ireland vacation. And I have quite a few ways to do that. My website, Ireland Family Vacations, is a complete resource for Ireland vacation planning – filled with information on what to do & see as well as handy tips for planning your trip and free itineraries to get your plans in motion quickly. (Don't let the name fool you! I travel through Ireland solo, with my husband, with my family, and hosting small group tours. Whatever your group size or dynamic I am able to assist!) My itinerary personalization, vacation coaching, and custom itinerary creation services help you maximize your Ireland experience, and my small group guided tours are designed to not only deliver the ‘authentic' Ireland of your dreams but also introduce you to the people and hidden places that make the country so very magical. If you love the process of planning your trip the Ireland Travel Compass walks you step-by-step through my expert process, from when to visit and how long the perfect vacation lasts, to what to see, where to stay, and even what to eat. It's basically my entire Ireland vacation planning brain laid out. On a more personal note, I have 2 daughters, now in college, who have been traveling through Ireland with me since before they could toddle and one very supportive husband (who loves it when I plan other people's vacations because it means I'm not planning my own). At Malahide Castle (It's probably time to get new family photos done)By Aoife for Flytographer; Dublin, Ireland. All rights reserved. Now that you know all about me, let's jump into what you need to know as you consider planning an Ireland vacation in 2026! This article is based on Traveling in Ireland podcast episode 320. Use the player below to listen or scroll to continue reading the article and get resource links. 2026 Ireland Travel Tips You Need Ireland Travel Rules & Regulations There are currently no restrictions in place for North Americans traveling to Ireland.Ireland travel restrictions and other requirement are found here. In Case of Cancellation Read and understand cancellation policies on everything from flights and transportation to tours and accommodations before booking. If booking with a credit card be aware of the cancellation coverage you may have with that card. I highly recommend purchasing travel insurance if you book tickets our tours that don't allow 100% refund if cancelled. And always if you are booking a tour package (and not necessarily the one the company offers). 2026 Looks like Another Busy Year from Travel to Ireland from North America Irish tourism numbers showed that tourism from Europe into Ireland was down, but numbers from North America remained steady. From my perspective things are already looking busy, especially in the months of May, late August, and September. (The shoulder season is the new high season.) More Direct Flights to Ireland in 2026 Aer Lingus, Ireland's flagship airline is adding 2 new US routes in 2026, bringing the total to 18 routes from Dublin!This is important because Aer Lingus is considered a ‘budget' carrier. And when budget carriers enter a market, US based airlines will drop rates to compete.

Finally, as we celebrate Celtic Christmas, remember this: caring for the earth is part of the old traditions. It's stewardship. It's community. Clean energy isn't just good for the planet. It's a gift to our families and our neighbors. Solar and wind are now the cheapest power sources in history, yet too many politicians would rather toast billionaires by the fire than help working families keep their homes warm and their bills low. Real change begins when we stop letting the ultra - rich write our energy policy and run our government. Choose affordable, renewable power. Clean energy means lower costs, greater freedom, and a world that can still sing for future generations. Promote Celtic culture through music at http://celticmusicpodcast.com/.

Song: I Believe Music by: Una McCann   Guest singers:​ Rebecca Csuy, Seth Norton, Tom Norton, Marika Tabilio   Notes: You'll hear a wonderful group of singers helping me cover all the ranges of this song: Tom and Seth bring the bass, Marika nails the tenor, Rebecca lines up the alto, and I take on soprano. There's a bit of octave confusion -- where do we find these pitches in our different voices?! And then this fabulous song and groove reminds us to see the goodness -- in you, in me, in everybody. So grateful to Una McCann for living into the teachings of Tara Brach and catching this song that feels so good to have singing in my body! Wishing everyone a week of discovery and festive comradery, whether you are celebrating holy days or simply the close of 2025...   Songwriter Info: Una McCann is based in Belfast, Northern Ireland where she works as a choir leader and songwriter.  She has been leading groups in harmony since her school days and has been working professionally with choirs for 15 years.   Currently the chair of the Natural Voice Network, Una runs 6 Natural Voice style weekly choirs.  She also enjoys running singing holidays and retreats.    Una is passionate about the power of creativity to transform lives and encourages her singers to improvise, play and explore their own creativity. Song writing is a part of life that sustains and supports Una.  She writes melodies and words that she needs to hear in that moment and is always delighted when they resonate with other people too.   I Believe was born out of the wish to always see the best in people even when it's hard and we don't want to, and to remember that underneath all of us is someone who just wants to be happy. We all come from love but sometimes we lose our way a bit.  It was inspired by listening to Tara Brach who creates beautiful talks on topics such as this.   Sharing Info: Please buy sheet music on Una's website (see below) if you plan to share this song as a songleader.   Song Learning Time Stamps: Start time of teaching: 00:05:24 Start time of reprise: 00:19:52   Links: Una's website: www.unamccann.org Sheet music for this song: https://unamccann.org/product/i-believe/  Una's Instagram: www.instagram.com/unamccann47 Una's Facebook (Una McCann Music): https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558408430060  Tara Brach's website: www.tarabrach.com Natural Voice Network: www.naturalvoice.net    Nuts & Bolts: 4:4, minor, 2 layers, one layer with melody & two harmonies   Join this community of people who love to use song to help navigate life?

We're back with another episode of I Had Trials Once and this time we're joined by former Barnsley, Tranmere, Huddersfield, MK Dons, Bury, Port Vale, Chorley, Bala Town & Runcorn Linnets player...ANTHONY KAY! Anthony sits down to talk all things football from growing up at Barnsley to turmoil times as Bury FC entered administration. The lads start the pod discussing Jordan's Christmas drip to Belfast with the Radcliffe squad, what it's like still playing vets football and Anthony loving life as a coach at Southport. Anthony then talks the lads through his early life in football playing for Barnsley, the feeling of making his first team debut and having to do brutal dressing room initiations. The trio then chat in depth about the drinking culture at Barnsley in the early days, why Anthony had big issues with manager Simon Davey & why the chairman tried to sabotage his career. They then chat about Anthony's time at Huddersfield, the strength of their squad in League One and the experience of that promotion win. The lads then discuss life after Huddersfield at MK Dons and Bury before the latter would enter administration and the struggles that come with it with players not being paid. Finally they end the pod talking about his time at Bala Town in the Welsh League, the experience of playing in Europe before making the decision to step in coaching/management with Runcorn Linnets.

Disarming Hamas. Some have said that the decommissioning of arms by the IRA , the Irish Republican Army over two decades ago, could serve as a blueprint for disarming Hamas today. Then the IRA’s disarmament involved verified destruction of its arsenal followed by it being part of a power-sharing government in Belfast. Neville Teller ,Mideast correspondent for Eurasia Review, argues that the IRA model definitely does not fit when it comes to Hamas. (photo: AP)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you love this music, if it makes your heart lift, please remember that it exists because real people make it. Bands. Songwriters. Musicians who pour years of their lives into learning their craft, writing songs, rehearsing, touring, recording, and sharing something meaningful with the world. Most of the Celtic musicians you hear on this podcast aren't getting rich. Not even close. Streaming pays pennies. Radio exposure doesn't pay the rent. For many artists, the only reason they can keep making and releasing music is because listeners like you choose to support them directly. That support matters more than you might realize. Buy an album. Grab a pin or a shirt. Back a Kickstarter. Become a patron. Show up to a show. Even shar ea song with a friend. Those small acts of generosity add up. They are often the difference between an artist making another album… or quietly fading away. So if there's a band you love on this podcast, support them. If there's a song that moved you, support the people who made it. Supporting small and indie music isn't charity, it's how this music survives, grows, and keeps finding its way into our lives. Thank you for being part of that. Now… let's get back to the music. 28:56 - Marc Gunn "Let's Have a Celtic Christmas" from Celtic Christmas Greetings 31:04 - Rathkeltair "In The Bleak Mid Winter" from Something Good for Christmas 34:07 - Reilly "Bells Over Boston" from Kick Ass Celtic Christmas 38:22 - Celtic Women, Sean Griffin "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" from Nollaig – A Christmas Journey 40:46 - THANK YOU FOR SPREADING CHRISTMAS CHEER!

Clean energy isn't just good for the planet, it's good for your wallet. Solar and wind are now the cheapest power sources in history. But too many politicians would rather protect billionaires than help working families save on their bills. Real change starts when we stop allowing the ultra  -  rich to write our energy policy and run our government. Let's choose affordable, renewable power. Clean energy means lower costs, more freedom, and a planet that can actually breathe. Promote Celtic culture through Christmas music at CelticChristmasPodcast.com.

Jason Miler and Dave Armstrong - As we pursue a vision of love in the neighborhood, we've been continually inspired by a kindred community in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The people of Redeemer Central Church are following Jesus and stewarding a sacred space in the heart of their city, and as we've taken on the call to reactivate the Tribune as a place for the people of South Bend, their story is encouraging us in ours. Our lead pastor, Jason Miller, was with Redeemer in Belfast this week, and he and David Armstrong from Redeemer sat down to share the story of how these two communities are walking together.  To give to the Christmas Offering, which will, in part, go to Redeemer Central Church, click here.
