And the Lord was always there. You know, he was always moving the strings. Every time I needed to hear something  encouraging, he was there to show me. He let my family go through the pain of my disease to show himself as real to me.  It was never me being awesome or great in anything ... He was. It was always the Lord showing his glory, and my only response could only could only have been to ... surrender." Find us on Facebook or Instagram to learn more! Want to share your story?

All the money and power in the world—but still the ruling class is failing.James Schneider, Communications Director for Progressive International, explains how crisis is a permanent feature of fossil capitalism, which is currently cannibilising itself. He reveals a strategy for progressive movements around the world to unite around energy rights, before explaining how we need revolution over reform, including an anti-regime campaign to overthrow the ruling class.

Our conversation today with Kit Redmer, Communications Director for the City of Winchester included Kenny Johnson, the city's Transportation Operations Manager to give details about WinReady, a microtransit system being rolled out this coming spring. WinReady is a new initiative that is expected to have a significant positive impact on public transit users, particularly students and families, across Winchester. The service will allow people to travel on-demand from point to point using an app or via phone reservations. The new system would be an overhaul of the current one and Kenny explained that it's especially suitable for the size of Winchester, with many trips expected to take only 10 or 15 minutes. The new system uses the same fleet of buses, covers the entire city of Winchester, and will run from 6am to 8pm on weekdays and 9am to 5pm on Saturdays. All public transit in Winchester is free to ride until July 1, 2024. Kenny told us about the changes coming to the existing bus routes when this new initiative rolls out - likely in March 2024 - and the decrease in wait times at bus stops due to the new "loop system." Kit emphasized the radical change this service represents and encouraged community members to provide feedback through a focus group on the city's website. Learn more about WinReady, find upcoming public information sessions, and sign up for the city's newsletter on their website: https://www.winchesterva.gov/

"The Enfleshed Life: What Life and Love of a Body Entails" Sunday, November 5, 10:50 am, 2023 One of the biggest injuries that Christianity is part of in our journey to human wholeness is seeing the body as sacred—not in the sense of something pristine that could be defiled or whose urges were dangerous, but as something to be honored and trusted. We can blame St. Augustine for some of it. We can blame a world bent on extraction and marketing to us from piling on. However, the wholeness we seek to find in nurturing one another asks for a life that relishes and cherishes enfleshed life. Let's talk about that! Rev. Vanessa Rush Southern, Senior Minister; Rev.

"Connecting Across Borders and Divides" Sunday, October 29, 10:50 am, 2023 This is the time of year of the Pagan celebration of Samhain, and the Christian (no doubt borrowed and adapted!) witness to All Souls and All Saints, and to the celebrations of Día De Los Muertos in Mexico and across Latin America. All of these community and religious ceremonies and sacred times begin with the Samhain idea that at this time of year, the veil between the living and the dead is thinned. It is a season, therefore, for reaching across that veil and pulling those we have loved and lost—their spirit and their legacy—more intentionally into our world for a while. In the spirit of this time and sacred season, you are invited to bring a copy of a photo or a memento of someone you have lost that we can put on the altar during worship. Be prepared to share their name. You are also invited to bring their favorite food to the worship. The foods that you bring will be shared during social hour. Rev.

SmarterMarkets™ host David Greely sat down with these guests to talk about how carbon markets support their strategy for climate action; how this year's challenges to operationalize the Article 6 markets, as well as this year's challenges to the reputation and growth of the voluntary carbon markets, are affecting their strategies; and what they see as the most important ideas being discussed at the Climate Summit this year. We've compiled a selection of those interviews into this special episode of SmarterMarkets™.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (10/17/2023): 3:05pm: On Tuesday, the House of Representatives voted to fill the speakership position left vacant following the removal of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). The Republican nominee for speaker, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), received 200 votes—well short of the 217 votes he needed to win a majority of the House. In total, twenty Republicans voted for candidates other than Jordan. Russell Dye, Communications Director for Jordan, suggested that another round of voting is expected to occur today. Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), an ally of Jordan, echoed a similar sentiment—saying he thinks at least one more round of voting will occur on Tuesday. Following the vote, Speaker pro tempore Patrick McHenry placed the House of Representatives in recess. You can read updates as they unfold here: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/10/17/us/house-speaker-jim-jordan-vote 3:15pm- WBUR, a National Public Radio (NPR) affiliate in Boston, MA, recently hosted a guest who seemingly denied that Hamas had killed women and children in Israel during an October 7th attack that left an estimated 1,400 people dead. You can read more here: https://www.foxnews.com/media/npr-affiliate-pulls-show-after-guest-doubted-hamas-killed-women-children-during-terror-attacks 3:40pm- In a statement made on X, Rep. Anthony D'Esposito (R-NY) explained his vote against Jim Jordan's speakership bid: “I want a Speaker who understands Long Island's unique needs. Restoring the SALT deduction, safeguarding 9/11 victim support funding, and investing in critical infrastructure are our priorities. I look forward to discussions with candidates.” Several Republican holdouts are now suggesting that it's an impossibility for any candidate within their caucus to receive the 217 votes needed to become speaker and, consequently, the House should move to expand the powers of Speaker pro tempore Patrick McHenry (R-NC). 4:05pm- On Monday night, the Philadelphia Phillies won Game 1 of their series against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The final score was 5-3. 4:10pm- According to Luke Broadwater of The New York Times, “Jim Jordan and Steve Scalise met after Jordan lost on the first ballot. Jordan asked Scalise for help but did not receive a pledge to do so, according to a person familiar with the conversation. Scalise and his allies are smarting from the way Jordan supporters undercut Scalise after he won a conference election but they refused to support him.” You can read more here: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/10/17/us/house-speaker-jim-jordan-vote 4:15pm- On Monday, Judge Tanya S. Chutkan imposed a limited gag order on Donald Trump—in a case that alleges Trump conspired to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Judge Chutkan's gag order prevents the former president from verbally attacking witnesses and prosecutors publicly. Alarmingly, it may also restrict Trump's ability to criticize specific elements of the Biden Administration's Department of Justice. Could this gag order impact Trump's ability to campaign—and is it a violation of his First Amendment right to free speech and petition? Trump is expected to appeal the order. While speaking at a rally in Clive, Iowa, Trump announced he is “willing to go to jail” as part of a principled stance against Churkan's “unconstitutional” gag order. 4:20pm- During a campaign rally in Iowa, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump jokingly compared himself to Al Capone, saying he has been indicted more times than the 1920s Chicago mobster. 4:30pm- According to Israel Defense Forces (IDF), a misfired Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) rocket struck a hospital in Gaza leaving an estimated 500 people dead. Ari Blaff of National Review writes: “The Palestinian Ministry of Health, a government body under the control of Hamas, previously claimed that an Israeli air strike was responsible for the hospital explosion.” You can read more here: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/misfired-palestinian-islamic-jihad-rocket-responsible-for-hospital-explosion-idf-says/ 4:40pm- Judge Carolyn Carluccio of the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas in Pennsylvania joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her candidacy for the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. You can learn more about her campaign here:https://www.judgecarluccio.com 5:00pm- While speaking with NBC News, Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) accused Nikki Haley of “trying to be politically correct” for suggesting the United States should welcome large numbers of refugees from Gaza. 5:15pm- Rich is joined by 1210 WPHT producers Anthony and Dan who are at Citizen Bank Park ahead of tonight's Game 2 playoff matchup between the Philadelphia Phillies and Arizona Diamondbacks. The series is best of seven. The Phillies currently lead the series 1-0.

She calls into the show to try to figure out how to fix it. 5:40pm- According to Luke Broadwater of The New York Times, “Scheduling update: Next vote for speaker will be tomorrow at 11 a.m. as Jordan works to shore up support—and prevent the bleeding of support. ‘We're going to keep working,' Jordan says.” You can read updates as they unfold here: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/10/17/us/house-speaker-jim-jordan-vote 5:45pm- Comedian Kevin Downey Jr. joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his upcoming appearance at Parx Casino Club 360 on Thursday October 19th—doors open at 7pm. You can learn more about the show, co-hosted by Rich, at: https://parxcasino.com/bensalem/calendar?sort=comedy 6:05pm- Liz Wolfe—Associate Editor at Reason & Author of the Reason Roundup morning email newsletter—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss student organizations at Harvard University that have explicitly, and outlandishly, blamed Israel for the Hamas-led attacks on Israeli citizens. Equally problematic are professors on campuses like Columbia University and Cornell University that have openly excused the actions of Hamas terrorists. Why was leadership at these elite universities so reluctant to condemn these actions and statements? You can find Wolfe's work here: https://reason.com/people/liz-wolfe/ 6:30pm- Max Marin of The Philadelphia Inquirer writes: “Police have arrested a suspect in the killing of Officer Richard Mendez and the wounding of Officer Raul Ortiz, who were shot on Thursday while responding to a car theft in a parking garage at Philadelphia International Airport.” During an afternoon press conference on Monday, the Philadelphia Police Department identified the suspect as Yobranny Martínez Fernández—though, they are still actively searching for two other suspects. You can read more about the developing story here: https://www.inquirer.com/news/philadelphia-airport-shooting-arrest-richard-mendez-raul-ortiz-20231016.html 6:40pm- While speaking with reporters, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said that Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ), despite being a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, will not be in attendance for a classified briefing on Israel Wednesday. Last week, Menendez was charged with acting as a foreign agent for Egypt. He had previously been charged with accepting bribes in exchange for influence. 6:50pm- Rich is joined by 1210 WPHT producers Anthony and Dan who are at Citizen Bank Park ahead of tonight's Game 2 playoff matchup between the Philadelphia Phillies and Arizona Diamondbacks.
