Lindsay is joined by author Gigi Berardi to discuss her newest book, “Bianca's Cure,” which was released by She Writes Press on February 10th, 2026. Florence, 1563. Forbidden from practicing her herbal cures in Venice, the young noblewoman Bianca Capello flees to Florence, where the ruling Medici family practices alchemy. There, she wins herself an invitation to their palace, and, as well as a path to Duke Regent Francesco's bed. The impassioned bond between Francesco de Medici and Bianca is at the core of this fact-driven dive into medicine, politics, love, and ultimately death in Renaissance Florence. Gigi Berardi hails from Hollywood, and holds degrees in biology, resources and planning, and dance. A Fulbright scholar in Italy and professor at Western Washington University in Bellingham, she also teaches in Florence, Italy. She's written more than 400 reviews and articles for print media and been featured on an array of podcasts and broadcast media.

Speaker: Rob BerrethScripture: Matthew 5:10–16Episode Overview:In Matthew 5:10–16, Jesus declares that His people are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. This message explores what that identity means in a culture shaped by Christian influence yet increasingly untethered from Christ Himself. The church's strength has never come from blending in, grasping for power, or retreating in fear. It has come from embodying the Beatitudes—poverty of spirit, mercy, purity, peacemaking—and living distinctly in the world for the glory of the Father.Drawing on insights from The Air We Breathe by Glen Scrivener and historical reflections like Dominion by Tom Holland, this sermon considers how Christian convictions have shaped society—and why remaining faithful to Jesus still matters. When believers stay salty and let their light shine, some will be drawn to glorify the Father. Others may resist. Yet Christ's kingdom advances, and He promises blessing to those who are harassed for righteousness' sake.Key Highlights:• Identity before influence – Salt and light flow from the transformed character described in the Beatitudes.• Distinct, not diluted – The church is most potent when it is truly different from the surrounding culture.• Faithful presence – Neither compromise nor retreat fulfills Jesus' call; we are sent into the world without becoming shaped by it.• Wisdom in a polarized age – Christian faithfulness often defies easy political categories, following Christ above all.• Expect both fruit and friction – Some will glorify God because of faithful witness; others may respond with opposition.• Unshakeable hope – The risen Christ builds His church, and no resistance can overturn His kingdom.Call to Action:Ask the Lord to search your life. Where have you grown dim or lost your saltiness? Repent where needed. Re-anchor yourself in Scripture. Pray for courage to speak with grace and truth. Look for one concrete place—at work, at school, in your neighborhood, in your home—where you can shine distinctly for Christ this week. Step forward in humble confidence, trusting that faithfulness in small acts carries eternal weight.Redeemer Church211 Northshore Dr. Bellingham, WA 98226www.redeemernw.org

Speaker: Rob BerrethScripture: Matthew 5:1–6Episode Overview:In this sermon on Matthew 5:1–6, we enter the opening words of the Beatitudes and discover a pathway that begins with spiritual poverty and leads to deep, lasting joy. Jesus declares that the kingdom belongs not to the self-sufficient, but to those who know their need. From being poor in spirit to mourning sin, from meekness to a hunger for righteousness, Christ reveals both the pardon He freely gives and the progress He graciously produces. This message invites us to receive the riches of Christ and to walk in the transforming work of His Spirit.Key Highlights:• Blessed Are the Poor in Spirit (Matthew 5:3)The kingdom is given—not earned. Spiritual bankruptcy becomes the doorway to divine abundance. Jesus offers Himself as the righteousness we lack.• Blessed Are Those Who Mourn (Matthew 5:4)Honest grief over sin is not despair but the beginning of comfort. God meets repentant hearts not with condemnation, but with compassion.• Blessed Are the Meek (Matthew 5:5)Meekness is strength under God's direction. Those who are humbled by grace become teachable, responsive, and ready to inherit what God promises.• Blessed Are Those Who Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness (Matthew 5:6)The Christian life is not only about being pardoned but about longing to grow. Christ satisfies those who desire to become more like Him.• Pardon and ProgressJesus does not merely forgive—He forms. The One who removes our burden also reshapes our hearts.Call to Action:Take time this week to sit quietly before the Lord. Ask Him to show you where you need to acknowledge spiritual poverty, where you need to grieve sin honestly, and where He is inviting you to hunger for greater righteousness. Don't try to fix everything at once. Let the Spirit gently direct you toward one area where growth is needed. Receive Christ's grace there—and walk forward in obedience, trusting that the One who pardons also empowers.Redeemer Church211 Northshore Dr. Bellingham, WA 98226www.redeemernw.org

Hello to you listening in Bellingham, Washington!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.There is nothing quite so still as an old growth forest to settle the anxiety I feel in these times of madness. Walking deep in the woods of the island's old growth forests a stillness beckons me to stop and listen deeply. The stillness asks if I can hear the immense power and depth of silence. I am reminded that all sounds arise from silence and fade back into silence.When we take the time to stop and experience silence we calm our mind, still the crazy chatter, breathe more deeply. Allow stillness. Stay with silence as long as you can. Tune in to your intuition, see clearly, hear your heartbeat, feel the blood coursing in your fingertips, and sense the steadiness of your breath coming and going easily. Remind yourself that we are alive and connected to all beings.Question: How does it feel to seek a bit of refuge in the stillness of the present moment? How does it feel to be alive, vibrant, and in tune with silence?   You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Our top 3 question today has to do with conspiracies! Here are a few of the major ones and what percentage of the population believe in them!

Speaker: Dane BurgessScripture: Matthew 5:1–10Episode Overview:In this message from Matthew 5:1–10, we hear Jesus publicly redefine what it means to live a truly flourishing life. On a hillside before the crowds, He declares blessing not over the powerful, the impressive, or the self-sufficient—but over the poor in spirit, the meek, the merciful, and those who hunger for righteousness. These words are not a checklist to complete or a ladder to climb. They are a declaration of what happens when the King takes residence in a person's life. The good life begins not with performance, but with open hands before Christ.Key Highlights:• A New Vision of the Good LifeJesus overturns common definitions of success and announces that true flourishing belongs to those who recognize their need.• Receiving Before OverflowingThe first Beatitudes describe empty hands—poverty of spirit, mourning, meekness, hunger for righteousness. The latter reveal what grows from a heart transformed—mercy, purity, peacemaking, steadfast faith.• Kingdom Reality in the Present Tense“Theirs is the kingdom of heaven” is not a distant promise alone, but a present reality for those who belong to Christ.• Transformation, Not PerformanceThis is not behavior management or moral self-improvement. It is the fruit of encountering the King who gives what we cannot produce ourselves.• Christ Fulfilled What We Could NotJesus embodied the Beatitudes perfectly—becoming poor, mourning, meek, and forsaken—so that we might receive mercy, comfort, and the kingdom.Call to Action:Take time this week to examine what your life is truly resting on. Where have you been performing, striving, or quietly building on shifting sand? Come honestly before Christ with open hands. Confess your need. Ask Him to re-anchor your heart in His mercy and righteousness. Then extend what you have received—practice mercy where you would normally demand repayment, pursue peace where tension exists, and hold your circumstances loosely because you are held securely by the King.Redeemer Church211 Northshore Dr. Bellingham, WA 98226www.redeemernw.org
