What does it really mean to only do work for those that care? To really be the best at what you do? To know your range and to stay there? To really know why you are trusted? Most important, what happens when you allow yourself to do the work you simply do not do well? It is about assumptions, bias and the refusal to believe in the power of your lane. Not everyone knows how to spend a million dollars well and let's talk about why that matters.

Ezekiel chapter 23 presents one of Scripture's most graphic metaphors as God depicts the spiritual infidelity of His people through the story of two sisters. These women, representing Samaria and Jerusalem, start as beautiful young women but tragically descend into prostitution, illustrating Israel's persistent pursuit of foreign gods and pagan practices.The striking imagery serves a powerful purpose. God reveals that from their earliest days in Egypt, His people had been spiritually unfaithful, bringing idolatrous practices with them even after their miraculous deliverance. The northern kingdom lusted after Assyria's military might and cultural sophistication, adopting their religious practices rather than remaining faithful to Yahweh. The southern kingdom committed even worse spiritual adultery by pursuing Babylonian and Egyptian influences despite having witnessed their sister's destruction.What makes this passage particularly relevant for today's believers is the parallel to modern spiritual compromise. Just as ancient Israel was seduced by powerful foreign nations, churches today often chase worldly entertainment, impressive personalities, and cultural relevance rather than remaining devoted to simple, biblical worship. We explore how congregations might prioritize charismatic speakers over spiritual maturity or entertaining programs over solid biblical teaching.The most sobering aspect of this metaphor is God's response—He ultimately uses the very nations Israel lusted after as instruments of judgment. This pattern reveals an important spiritual principle: the sins we pursue often become the instruments of our destruction. As one pastor notes, "Sin will take you farther than you ever wanted to go and keep you longer than you ever intended to stay."Yet even amidst this harsh judgment, we discover God's extraordinary patience. For nearly a thousand years, He sent prophets, provided deliverers, and offered opportunities for repentance before finally allowing judgment to fall. This reveals both His long-suffering nature and the reality that divine patience isn't endless when repentance is refused.Join us as we unpack this challenging passage and consider its implications for spiritual faithfulness in our churches and personal lives today. How might we recognize and resist the "foreign influences" that compromise our devotion to God?Support the showThank you for listening!!

Brides are bombarded with messages to “lose weight for the big day.” But sis, your wedding is just ONE day—your marriage is for a lifetime.

For creative businesses, the value of time is not linear. There is intrinsic value that has nothing to do with physical effort. Ahem, creativity. You are not lawyers or accountants. So please stop acting like them.

My Music with Graham Coath – featuring Brides Joe and James join me to talk about their roots in Stevenage and Liverpool, their favourite venues, and why playing live is as much about laughter as it is about music.We dig into:The band's origins—neighbours with guitars, late-night writing sessions, and turning chaos into songsWhy their sound nods to American alt-rock influences while keeping a raw Liverpool energyHow their single Creature Culture was born from messy nights, whirlwind friendships, and a surreal video shoot in the woods (complete with a TV and a ghillie suit)The fun, friendship, and humour that fuel their performances—and why trying to make each other laugh on stage is all part of the showFuture plans for EPs, touring, and even challenging other bands… on the basketball courtBrides aren't afraid to experiment with sounds, time signatures, or storytelling. Whether it's through sci-fi characters, abstract tales, or straight-up indie energy, they're carving out their own space on the UK music scene.

Adam's Paternity Leave continues, so why not cross the jump right back to where the Randomizer kicked us out to immediately after we did the three-part mega-Cragenisode? Patreon payments are frozen for the time being. A few resourceful new Munchies have figured out a work-around where you can join as a free member and upgrade from there to a paid account which charges you for one month and unlocks the back catalog behind the respective tier of the paywall. After that first payment, you won't be charged again until we're dropping new content (which we'll warn everyone is coming), so if you want more of this it can be had, along with access to the fully uncut episodes from 100 to present and Movie Club episodes.Praise be to the SVU Gods and the Randomizer because this week's Munchstallment “Russian Brides” has it all. The seventh ep from Season 13 not only thrusts a rusty Captain Cragen into undercover duty for the first time since before Cabot and Amaro were born, but it also traumatizes you with way-too-specific details as to what our vic went through before perishing. Add to that the unrealized prospect of high-end koozies, the irony of nicknaming a neighborhood Odessa by the Sea when the O.G. Odessa is in fact by the sea, a journey into the daunting world of the vory v zakone, and the fact this this episode feeds directly into the huge three-parter we just spent the past three weeks poring over, and you've got the recipe for a very tasty Cragenisode with a blini and a heaping portion of Captain Don's bottomless pit of sorrow.Music:Divorcio Suave - “Munchy Business”Thanks to our gracious Munchies on Patreon: Jeremy S, Jaclyn O, Amy Z, Diana R, Tony B, Barry W, Drew D, Nicky R, Stuart, Jacqi B, Natalie T, Robyn S, Amy A, Sean M, Jay S, Briley O, Asteria K, Suzanne B, Tim Y, John P, John W, Elia S, Rebecca B, Lily, Sarah L, Melsa A, Alyssa C, Johnathon M, Tiffany C, Brian B, Kate K, Whitney C, Alex, Jannicke HS, Roni C, Nourhane B, Erin M, Florina C, Melissa H, and Olivia - y'all are the best!Be a Munchie, too!

On today's episode of Play It Brave, I'm joined by my dear friend, the incredible creative and leader, Carrie Moe. Carrie is someone I deeply admire—not only because of her talent (she's styled for brands like Ritz-Carlton, Fujifilm, and Berta Bridal, and been featured in Martha Stewart Weddings, The Knot, and Brides), but because of the way she approaches her work with confidence, creativity, and so much integrity. We dive into: ✨ Why collaboration is more powerful than competition in the creative industry. ✨ The myth of “falling behind” and how to release the pressure to keep up. ✨ What it means to value your time and treat yourself as a luxury brand. ✨ The importance of community, networking, and in-person connection for growing your career. ✨ How saying no to misaligned opportunities can open the door to bigger, more aligned “yeses.” We also talk about the Hybrid Collective Conference, which is coming to Charleston in 2026. Hybrid has been one of my favorite places to teach, learn, and connect since 2017, and Carrie shares so beautifully about why it continues to be such a transformative space for photographers and creatives. This conversation is a reminder that your artistry is yours alone. The way you see, create, and bring beauty into the world cannot be replicated—and that's exactly what makes it valuable. About the Hybrid Collective Dreamers, Innovators, Goal Getters...Hybrid was established in 2017 by four industry leaders who saw the need for education and connections within the film photography space. Hybrid continues as a women owned company with a team who seeks to change the world by empowering, encouraging, and connecting with YOU.  While we have had our career highlights (Featured in Martha Stewart Print, Harpers Bazaar, traveled the globe for clients) nothing thrills our hearts like seeing a gathering of people come together and leave forever changed. From our ad-on masterclasses, breakout sessions,  to our diverse speaker line-up, we cover all of the areas of priority in your business. We dive deep into the knowledge details of how to up-level, covering the details needed to grow a legacy brand and our teachers offer insider tips on every challenge you might face in your business.

Today we are going to talk about the value of the subjective, the emotional component that is critical to the success of every creative business.  It is knowing the difference between drawing birds and clouds and when you might share each.  It is also knowing that the language of emotional and its return dwarfs anything rational.  In the end, what it means is that you have to stop playing the game you are not very good at and start (or only) play the one you are.

100 Jewish Brides: Stories from Around the World (Indiana UP, 2024), is the result of a collaboration between two sociologists, Professor Shulamit Reinharz and Dr. Barbara Vinick. Both come from backgrounds deeply intertwined with Jewish history and feminism. Prof. Reinharz, the daughter of Holocaust survivors, became a rabbi's daughter after her father settled in the US. Her work often explores topics of Jewish tradition and women's roles. Dr. Vinick, also a sociologist, initially focused on gerontology but later collaborated with Reinharz on projects exploring Jewish women's experiences worldwide, she hopes this this book can be a respite from the troubles of the world. The book aims to reveal the diversity and depth of traditional and emerging Jewish communities globally, that many readers might not have considered. The editors collected stories from 83 countries on six continents. Each story is either written as a mini-biography or memoir, sometimes by the brides themselves. They made a conscious effort not to reject any stories, regardless of whether they depicted positive or negative experiences. The collection thus includes stories touching on forced marriages, abusive relationships, divorces, and difficult situations. The book is structured to highlight memorable and unique aspects of weddings, such as courtship traditions, betrothal ceremonies, conversions, and customs during wartime. There is a special focus on diversity, including emerging Jewish communities across Africa and Latin America. Among the highlighted stories is a mail-order bride in Mexico who, upon arrival, refused to return home despite not matching her suitor's expectations, eventually resulting in decades of marriage—a testament to the unpredictability and resilience found in these stories. Daisy Aboudi's family in Sudan, a now-extinct Jewish community which found marital partners across the Egyptian border, reveals how Jewish life adapts and persists.  The anthology covers weddings within various strands of Judaism, including a Chabad wedding in Thailand. The betrothal chapter explores customs whose significance has changed over time, including elaborate engagement ceremonies in places like Burma, Nicaragua, and India, where traditions include henna, turmeric, prayers, and communal exchanges. Ariela Tischler's story from Switzerland serves as a link between family heritage and Jewish law. Descended from Rabbi Moshe Isserlis, who decreed it permissible to marry on Lag BaOmer, Ariela and her husband wed on that day, echoing the family tradition established by her grandparents. Personal favorites among the editors' stories include Dr. Vinick's account of attending a group wedding in Madagascar following the conversion of local community members, demonstrating the intersection of ritual, adaptation, and communal joy. Professor Reinharz selected a contemporary Israeli bride, Yael Yafielli, whose feminist and renewal-minded approach prompted her to design a wedding ceremony more aligned with her beliefs and those of her secular partner, rather than conform to the Orthodox rabbinate's expectations. They hope to honor both those who have sustained Judaism in isolated regions and those rebuilding it anew, while also foregrounding Jewish women's voices and experiences. Ultimately, the project is a celebration of Jewish diversity, women's voices, continuity, and ongoing change. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dr. Vinick, also a sociologist, initially focused on gerontology but later collaborated with Reinharz on projects exploring Jewish women's experiences worldwide, she hopes this this book can be a respite from the troubles of the world. The book aims to reveal the diversity and depth of traditional and emerging Jewish communities globally, that many readers might not have considered. The editors collected stories from 83 countries on six continents. Each story is either written as a mini-biography or memoir, sometimes by the brides themselves. They made a conscious effort not to reject any stories, regardless of whether they depicted positive or negative experiences. The collection thus includes stories touching on forced marriages, abusive relationships, divorces, and difficult situations. The book is structured to highlight memorable and unique aspects of weddings, such as courtship traditions, betrothal ceremonies, conversions, and customs during wartime. There is a special focus on diversity, including emerging Jewish communities across Africa and Latin America. Among the highlighted stories is a mail-order bride in Mexico who, upon arrival, refused to return home despite not matching her suitor's expectations, eventually resulting in decades of marriage—a testament to the unpredictability and resilience found in these stories. Daisy Aboudi's family in Sudan, a now-extinct Jewish community which found marital partners across the Egyptian border, reveals how Jewish life adapts and persists.  The anthology covers weddings within various strands of Judaism, including a Chabad wedding in Thailand. The betrothal chapter explores customs whose significance has changed over time, including elaborate engagement ceremonies in places like Burma, Nicaragua, and India, where traditions include henna, turmeric, prayers, and communal exchanges. Ariela Tischler's story from Switzerland serves as a link between family heritage and Jewish law. Descended from Rabbi Moshe Isserlis, who decreed it permissible to marry on Lag BaOmer, Ariela and her husband wed on that day, echoing the family tradition established by her grandparents. Personal favorites among the editors' stories include Dr. Vinick's account of attending a group wedding in Madagascar following the conversion of local community members, demonstrating the intersection of ritual, adaptation, and communal joy. Professor Reinharz selected a contemporary Israeli bride, Yael Yafielli, whose feminist and renewal-minded approach prompted her to design a wedding ceremony more aligned with her beliefs and those of her secular partner, rather than conform to the Orthodox rabbinate's expectations. They hope to honor both those who have sustained Judaism in isolated regions and those rebuilding it anew, while also foregrounding Jewish women's voices and experiences. Ultimately, the project is a celebration of Jewish diversity, women's voices, continuity, and ongoing change. Learn more about your ad choices.

100 Jewish Brides: Stories from Around the World (Indiana UP, 2024), is the result of a collaboration between two sociologists, Professor Shulamit Reinharz and Dr. Barbara Vinick.

From June 2023: Ed and Greg Ehrbar look back at the music and television career of Bobby Sherman as part of a conversation about the home entertainment release of Here Come the Brides (ABC, 1968-1970). Though Sherman first came into prominence as the house singer on Shindig (ABC, 1964-1966), the success of Here Come the Brides made him a teen idol, not to mention a gold-selling recording artist. Bobby Sherman passed away on Tuesday, June 24 at the age of eighty-one.
