Podcasts about better part

Everybody gets older. Admit it or not. The question is, “Will we grow sweeter, or will we rot?” Once all the children have left the nest and two people who honeymooned together twenty-five or thirty years ago are left to “start over,” how can they resist negative tendencies and stay young at heart? How can they support each other's growth toward spiritual maturity? Solomon, in the last two chapters of Ecclesiastes, set forth five reminders that couples must heed if they want to get better as they get older.Download Message Mates To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1118/29?v=20251111

Scripture Lesson - Luke 10:38-42 Rev. Kevin Long

But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. (Luke 10:42) ~~~~~~~ This sermon was preached at Bells Yew Green Chapel. ~~~~~~~ *1/ Chosen by God. 2/ That good part chosen by Mary. 3/ That which shall not be taken away.* **Sermon Summary:** The sermon centers on the profound truth that in the midst of life's many demands, one thing is truly needful: sitting at the feet of Christ to hear His Word, as Mary did, a choice that reflects divine election, a teachable and faithful spirit, and a life rooted in discipleship, love, and submission. Though Martha's service was commendable, her distraction by worldly concerns illustrates how even good works can become idols when they eclipse the priority of communion with Christ, who is the eternal source of spiritual nourishment and the fulfilment of God's covenantal promise. The passage affirms that this choice—rooted in God's sovereign grace and sustained by His faithfulness—is not only the foundation of true discipleship but also a gift that will never be taken away, even in the frailty of old age or the fog of memory, because God remains constant and His people are securely held in His eternal purpose.

One of our guests on Episode 3 of Midrats was Bryan McGrath, CDR, USN (Ret.). Over the years he's returned often, and has even graced us with the pleasure of a few guest posts here.As he's let people know for years, he was going to retire for good at 60. True to his word, he hung it up a few weeks ago.Earlier this year before he got too focused on his figs and vines, I asked Bryan to come on for a broad-ranging conversation.What a great hour.A retired Naval Officer, Bryan spent 21 years on active duty including a tour in command of USS BULKELEY (DDG 84), a guided-missile destroyer homeported in Norfolk, Virginia. In command, he received the “Admiral Elmo Zumwalt Award for Inspirational Leadership” from the Surface Navy Association and his ship earned the USS ARIZONA Memorial Trophy signifying its selection as the Fleet's most combat-ready warship. His final duties ashore included serving as Team Lead and Primary Author of the US Navy's 2007 Maritime Strategy “A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower”.Bryan was formerly the Deputy Director of the Hudson Institute Center for American Seapower. In this capacity, he helped develop the Surface Navy's “Distributed Lethality” concept and the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments' 2017 Navy Alternate Fleet Architecture Study.Bryan earned a BA in History from the University of Virginia in 1987, and an MA in Political Science (Congressional Studies) from The Catholic University of America. He is a graduate of the Naval War College.He retired again in November 2025 after 13 years in defense consulting.Show LinksThe End of the Road, Bryan McGrathIn Praise of the Military-Industrial Complex, Bryan McGrathSummaryIn this episode of Midrats, hosts Sal and Mark welcome back Bryan McGrath to discuss his reflections on retirement, the changes in the naval environment over the years, and the importance of relationships in naval policy.
