We look at the hidden emotional and spiritual challenges of infertility and how Springs in the Desert accompanies couples carrying this cross. The guests share the ministry's origins, the grief and identity struggles many couples face, the different ways men and women process infertility, and the need for compassionate pastoral care. They also explain how community, faith, and a focus on Christ—not just conception—help couples find hope, healing, and a sense of fruitfulness in their marriages. Ann M. Koshute, MTS, is co-founder and Executive Director of Springs in the Desert, a Catholic ministry offering spiritual and emotional support to women and couples carrying the cross of infertility and loss. A graduate of the Pontifical John Paul II Institute, she and her husband Keith are Byzantine Catholics living in Central Pennsylvania. Ann speaks at conferences and retreats, contributes regularly to Eastern Catholic Life, and has written for Ascension Press's Catechism in a Year Companion and daily Scripture reflections; in 2021 she was appointed to the USCCB's Advisory Council. Fr. Paul Varchola West, Spiritual Father for Springs in the Desert, was ordained a Byzantine Catholic priest in 2020 and serves as pastor of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Levittown, Pennsylvania. A columnist for Eastern Catholic Life, he was appointed Director of Deacons for the Byzantine Catholic Eparchy of Passaic in 2025. He and his wife Alissa, married in 2009, enjoy music, the outdoors, and life with their two children—blessings that came after many years of prayers and infertility treatments. http://www.springsinthedesert.org Facebook: @Springs in the Desert Instagram: @springsinthedesert_ ​The Springs in the Desert Podcast: https://springsinthedesert.org/podcast/  00:00 Introduction to Springs in the Desert 05:24 The Journey of Infertility and Founding the Ministry 08:33 Understanding Byzantine Catholicism and Spiritual Leadership 11:22 The Role of Spiritual Support in Infertility 14:11 Navigating Medical and Spiritual Aspects of Infertility 17:16 The Emotional Landscape of Infertility 20:23 Programs and Resources Offered by Springs in the Desert 23:25 The Importance of Community and Shared Experiences 26:30 Addressing Grief and Loss in Infertility 29:19 The Unique Perspectives of Men and Women in Infertility 32:46 Navigating Emotional Responses in Marriage 38:56 The Role of the Church in Supporting Infertility 49:51 Addressing Pregnancy Loss and Grief 54:24 Understanding Identity Beyond Infertility 01:02:01 The Temptation of Objectification in Relationships 01:04:54 The Struggle with Self-Absorption and Spirituality 01:08:37 The Urgency of Infertility Ministry Today 01:11:53 Changing the Conversation Around Infertility 01:16:33 Normalizing Infertility in Young Education 01:21:58 The Importance of Connection and Community 01:25:18 Action Items for Supporting Couples Facing Infertility 01:35:23 Real Estate Commercial  Subscribe to our newsletter to get this amazing report: Refuting the Top 5 Gay Myths https://ruthinstitute.org/refute-the-top-five-myths/ Have a question or a comment?

Penn State wants to be a leader in the field of artificial intelligence. The university’s provost recently laid out a vision for how that will happen during a meeting with the Penn State board of trustees. Pennsylvania's state budget is more than 4 months late, and there's no sign lawmakers will reach a deal anytime soon.

Former Pennsylvania Senate GOP leader David "Chip" Brightbill of Lebanon County has died at the age of 83. In a joint statement, Senate President Pro Tempore Kim Ward and Senate Majority Leader Joe Pittman credited Brightbill for being a national leader in legislation to repurpose abandoned industrial sites and for establishing electric supplier competition statewide.

The Gallery Assistant: A Novel by Kate Belli Katebelli.com https://www.amazon.com/Gallery-Assistant-Novel-Kate-Belli/dp/1668093650 “A haunting, razor-sharp mystery…With an unforgettable protagonist and a plot that spirals into ever-deeper layers of intrigue.” —Julie Clark, New York Times bestselling author of The Ghostwriter This twisty and sinister thriller follows a New York art gallery assistant reckoning with her past and now trapped in a web of deceit after an up-and-coming painter is murdered—perfect for fans of Katy Hays and Julia Bartz. November 2001: Chloe Harlow wakes up late, with hazy memories of the party the night before but no recollection of how she got back to her Brooklyn apartment. Ever since the terrifying and catastrophic terrorist attack, it seems she has been on a collision course with destruction. When she finally arrives at the exclusive Upper East Side art gallery where she works, she is immediately called into her boss's office. A pair of NYPD detectives greet her, also very curious to know how her evening ended…because the host of the party, a rising painter and the gallery's newest artist, is dead. Navigating both the sophisticated high-stakes art world and her personal life in burgeoning Williamsburg, Chloe struggles to piece together a complete picture of that lost night. As she digs deeper, inconsistencies emerge between what she remembers and what people tell her actually happened, and more questions are raised. Everything begins to feel like a conspiracy and maybe it is. Because Chloe is the only one who glimpses the secrets the murdered artist left behind, and the closer she gets to the truth…the more deadly it becomes.About the author Kate Belli writes historical mystery and contemporary thrillers.

As a longtime queer advocate, writer, and journalist Frank has so much knowledge to share about both his own lived experiences as well as the current state of queer literature in the era of anti-intellectualism. Frank takes us back to growing up gay in Central Pennsylvania and being outspoken as a college student when he participated in the anti-war movement. And that brings us to his thoughts on today's political climate! Frank explains why he thinks our current American political system is actually encouraging people to abandon critical thinking and why there's a "dumbing down" of the general public. In Frank's new book Passionate Outlier: Gay Writers and Allies on Their Work, he talks with several iconic gay writers about their legacy and what queer literature looks like today. You'll learn all about his conversations with writers like Edmund White, Andrew Holleran, Felice Picano, and Christopher Bram (just to name a few). By the end of our conversation, not only will you learn about the history of queer literature, but you'll also understand how queer authors and their legacies are all around us.

As Congress missed the deadline to pass a federal budget, more than 100,000 government workers in the commonwealth are now affected by the federal government shutdown. Today marks three entire months without a state budget. Pennsylvania’s counties, school districts and social service agencies are warning of mounting layoffs, borrowing costs and damage to the safety net, as the politically divided state government enters its fourth month of a budget stalemate. October 1st was also a milestone for WITF. For the first time in more than 50 years, public media is now operating without federal funding. For WITF, this moment is about our responsibility to YOU the public, across a 19-county area of central Pennsylvania. Planned Parenthood agencies nationwide can no longer bill Medicaid for providing basic medical care due to Congressional Republicans’ tax and spending law. Central Pennsylvania’s clinics say they will keep their doors open even as the cuts are reducing access to care around the country. In a 4-3 decision, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has ruled that voters who cast their ballot by mail must be notified if a ballot is rejected due to an incorrect date missing signature or similar issue. A federal judge has ruled that Pennsylvania will be shielded -- at least for now-- from losing millions of dollars in food-stamp benefits.

The New Cumberland Music and Film Festival is returning this year, celebrating the best of local talent alongside globally recognized films and performances. Skye Cadzow, producer of the festival, describes it as “a celebration of all things culture and arts, bringing both local talents and global pieces that are being celebrated around the world to the stage right here in central Pennsylvania.” The festival began in 2022, with its first event taking place in September 2023. “A few of us in the nonprofit, the New Cumberland Collective, started talking about how we wanted to bring some of these elements that we love in pop culture together, start creating a film festival,” Cadzow said. “Last year we ran it back and added even more components… this year we're really thrilled to take things in a slightly new direction.” This year’s theme centers on “small groups that can make a difference,” featuring documentaries like Middletown, which follows teenagers uncovering a toxic waste scandal in New York, and Speak, which highlights five students competing in national oratory contests. Cadzow said, “The teacher who was part of this project [in Middletown] is actually gonna be at the film to do a Q&A on Friday night following this screening. So, we're thrilled to have that.” The festival will also showcase its first non-documentary film, OBEX, a Sundance favorite, with director Albert Burney and other filmmakers participating in a post-screening Q&A.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 203 is stacked, dude. Here's everything I covered this week, all in one place:First off, I'm plugging Megs' new blown booby art. It started as a bit, now it's real. One-of-one paintings made with, you guessed it, paint and boobs. You can buy them right now at wadpod.com/art. Support a local artist, hang them in your house, and flex on your neighbors.-- wawdpod.com/art Then I had to address the Olive Garden incident. Yes, I “hit” an old lady with my car in the parking lot. But before you judge me, she came at my son inside the restaurant first. He was happy, eating his chicken tenders, making a few sound effects like kids do. She waddled over, told Megs she was a terrible mom, then waddled up front to complain again. Servers literally came to apologize to us. People out here policing autistic kids like they run the parenting Olympics. What are we doing?From there we dove into the chaos that is the Cracker Barrel rebrand. New logo, new look, stock prices tanking, internet rioting. I stepped in like the digital savior I am and designed a better logo myself. I'm now officially the face of Cracker Barrel 2025, partnered with their new CEO, who is sneaky hot by the way. Everyone's mad, I think it's fine. Sydney Sweeney's joining me as brand ambassador, and we're saving breakfast one biscuit at a time.Then we had to talk about the Trump T1 phone scam. They're advertising a “gold” Trump phone, but it's literally a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra in a Spigen case… and they left the watermark on. Subscriptions are overpriced, fees everywhere, autopay only, and people are still buying it. Don't give Trump your debit card. Give me your debit card. wadpod.com/art.Trump wasn't done though. He's now using his so-called “peace talks” between Russia and Ukraine as cool points to get into heaven. He literally said on Fox News, “I want to get to heaven if possible. I'm hearing I'm not doing well.” Bro, if your afterlife strategy is saving 7,000 lives a week, maybe start by not scamming people with gold phones.Next up, internet news. AJ and Big Justice dropped their new single “Big Fat Meatballs” and it's the anthem nobody knew we needed. Central PA finally has its Drake and 21 Savage, but with marinara. Go stream it everywhere, or you're un-American.Meanwhile, Trisha Paytas linked up with Arby's. Yes, the queen of chaos is now the queen of beef and cheddar. She filmed a Jamoka Shake commercial that's peak Trisha. She's also out here naming her kids Elvis, Barbie, and Aquaman. Honestly, iconic.And finally, South Park roasted ChatGPT. They dropped a new episode where dudes are using AI to talk to their wives, and I've never felt more seen in my life. I told you already, if AI shuts down, I'm cooked. Emails, scripts, plans—gone. No more What Are We Doing podcast without it.That's the show. Episode 203, we covered:Booby art for sale.Olive Garden old lady beef.Cracker Barrel meltdown.Trump phone scam.Trump trying to buy a ticket into heaven.AJ & Big Justice meatball banger.Trisha Paytas x Arby's.South Park AI jokes.What are we doing?

When your central PA town is too small to get the attention of Wegmans, or Giant, or Weis, it's time for a local hero: the independent grocer! Rural Pennsylvanians need to eat too, and we like variety just as much as city-dwellers. Luckily, just like with craft brewers, and small butchers, independent grocers can often deliver stuff that bigger supermarkets can't. Local stuff that's too small to work with the big guys, the delicious favorites that the big guys don't understand (pepper slaw? Pickled quail eggs? Ham salad!!), and fresh-as-this-morning local produce! I interviewed two local grocers: Russ Burkholder, of Burkholder's Country Market right here in Millheim, and Lindsay Hutchinson, who runs People's Provisions, in Elliotsburg. Burkholder's has made local a mission, and Russ has some great insights on how an independent stays afloat. Lindsay has a very special idea at People's Provisions, about fostering community with food in central Perry County. You'll want to visit both places -- and your local grocer -- when you're done listening.  I cooked with some provisions I got at Burkholders, mixed with vegetables from a friend's garden, and I'll tell you about that; lots of hot peppers and corn and cheese!  What else? The Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest collaboration beer is What I'm Drinking Today, and the Smack Dab In The Centre segment is about finding the blazingly fresh locally-grown food that's bursting out of Centre County fields right now. I'm also going to be taping new episodes of What's Brewing PA with Glen Macnow next month, and I give you a heads up on what's coming there.  Next episode? After almost three years, I finally have an episode about Pennsylvania wineries! I got a bottle of Traminette, and it intrigued me, and I just kept digging till I came up with a story.    See you in two weeks! Until then? TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THE PODCAST!

In this Central Pennsylvania Fishing Report from The Articulate Fly fishing podcast, Marvin Cash connects with George Costa from TCO Fly Shop in State College for essential summer fishing intelligence. With water levels slightly above seasonal norms and afternoon temperatures pushing into the high 60s, Costa emphasizes the critical importance of temperature monitoring and strategic timing. While the cicada emergence is wrapping up, trout continue attacking cicada patterns as they chase the last available protein, and anglers should expect tricos to begin hatching any day for prime early morning dry fly opportunities. Costa reveals that terrestrial patterns including beetles, ants and green weenies are producing consistent results, while streamer fishing shows promise during low-light periods with the slightly off-color water from recent storms. The discussion provides actionable guidance for Central Pennsylvania anglers navigating the transition into peak summer conditions, emphasizing early morning and late evening sessions while avoiding the dangerous afternoon temperature spikes that stress trout populations.Related ContentS6, Ep 138: Central PA Fishing Report with George CostaS6, Ep 118: Central PA Fall Fishing Report: George Costa's Tips and TacticsS7, Ep 36: Central PA Fishing Report with George Costa of TCO Fly ShopS6, Ep 129: TCO Fly Shop's George Costa Discusses Prime Fall Fishing ConditionsAll Things Social MediaFollow TCO on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube.Support the Show Shop on AmazonBecome a Patreon PatronSubscribe to the PodcastSubscribe to the podcast in the podcatcher of your choice.Advertise on the PodcastIs our community a good fit for your brand?
