In this third of a six-part Lenten series, Carry Your Cross, Fr. Andrew continues a discussion of Matthew 16:13-28 regarding how Satan sets obstacles in the form of deception, temptation, and fear to prevent us from carrying our crosses in life. March 20, 2025 - Cathedral of Christ the King - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com

On Episode 3,550, the guys previewed this weekend's UFC card and had two guests, UFC commentator Jon Anik & XFC headliner and prospect Kenny Cross. They also went over the news hits.

Patrick tackles an array of engaging topics, from the theological significance of Jesus' unfiltered temple moment to whether Mary opens the gates of heaven. He discusses data privacy—highlighting how data brokers have a keen eye on individual habits—and even shares listener stories to bridge gaps in spiritual misconceptions. Plus, Patrick touches on the charismatic gifts beyond religious figures. Patrick responds to an email from Dennis who makes some false claims about what’s been said on the show (01:07) Rhonda - Was no one allowed to enter heaven until Jesus died on the Cross? (04:52) Kim - Because of the fall of Adam and Eve there had to be a blood sacrifice. Did Jesus do it because he had to, or out of love? (09:03) Jim - What are your thoughts on the Garabandal apparitions? (20:35) Steve - When we say the Rosary, what are the promises of Christ we are praying for? (25:32) Mike - Is my analogy of a smudge for Purgatory and using a spray bottle to wipe it off be a good analogy for Purgatory and Confession? (29:29) Christopher - I am reformed Baptist. You referred to people who don't venerate Our Lady as 'Flat Earthers. I want to defend our view. (34:24) Devin (12-years-old) - If Jesus wants us to love our enemies, why did he destroy merchandise of sellers outside of the Temple? (40:44) Sharlin – My Church had a healing service with a Catholic mystic performing a healing service. (43:33)

A caller named Mike from Jacksonville asks the big question: Should Catholics receive Communion on the hand or on the tongue? Here's Patrick's response... What the Church Says: -Traditionally, Communion has always been received on the tongue in the Western Church. -After Vatican II, some people started receiving on the hand as a kind of liturgical trend. At first, the Church said, “No, you shouldn’t do that.” Yet people just kept doing it, and it became so widespread that eventually, St. Pope John Paul II permitted it to avoid constant conflict. -In the Eastern Churches (e.g., Byzantine Rite, Eastern Orthodox), receiving in the hand is unthinkable. Communion is always spooned directly into the mouth, and the idea of touching the Eucharist with your hands is considered outrageous. What’s Allowed Now: -The Church officially permits receiving Communion on the hand, but the preferred method is still on the tongue. -If you choose to receive in the hand, it’s recommended to make an extra sign of reverence, like a bow or making the Sign of the Cross. -Standing is the norm in the U.S., but kneeling is also allowed if you prefer it. Why Patrick Thinks Communion on the Tongue is Better: -Hands Matter: Priests’ hands are consecrated as part of the Sacrament of Holy Orders. The rest of us? Not so much. So, there’s a reverence factor there. -Tradition Matters: For about 1,500 years, the standard practice was to receive on the tongue, kneeling if possible. Sure, there were some places in the early Church where Communion in the hand happened, but that was far from the norm. -Personal Conviction: Patrick admits he’s in the minority here, but he thinks the traditional way is better because it emphasizes reverence and respect for the Eucharist. The Bottom Line: Yes, you can receive Communion in the hand, but if you ask Patrick: on the tongue is better. He thinks most people just automatically receive on their hands because that's how they were raised.

Holy inebriation! We are to become drunk with faith.  For those inebriated with alcohol there is often a loss of the capacity to think about things or see things clearly. For those inebriated with faith, there is a loss of sight of the things of this world and attraction to them because one's gaze is fixed upon the Beloved. Love alone draws the soul forward. Indeed, it is by the grace of God that we make that initial turn towards Him and so begin to see with a greater clarity the inconstancy that sin brings into our life and the healing, the hope, and the joy that faith alone provides.   Our senses and our natural faculties that we use constantly to perceive the world around us often become a source of distortion because of the weakening of our will and the darkening of our intellect. And even if these faculties should function perfectly, they still are incapable of comprehending God as he is in himself.   When faith begins to grow, we begin to see the presence of God in all things and his Providence acting on our behalf. Love, seeks union and communion and perfect Love is present in our lives in a transformative fashion. We need not fear affliction, poverty, or the hatred of others knowing that we are loved with a perfect love. We are never in isolation when we are in Christ through faith and the grace that he provides us. The inconstancy of sin is replaced with the stability and fearlessness of faith. The world can take everything from us, including our honor, and yet we find no loss in it. With St Paul we count all things as refuse in comparison to knowing Jesus Christ and him crucified. Isaac wants a to understand the need to be fully immersed in this love, to be inebriated by it and permeated by it so that it shapes our entire existence. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:02:32 Paisios: Baptismal. One moment I'll get headphones. 00:09:33 Una: I see we have a dog and cat in attendance tonight 00:09:45 Una: Very Franciscan 00:09:59 Una: Are they keen on Isaac? 00:14:26 Bob Čihák, AZ: P. 114, # 7 00:16:53 Paisios: Reacted to "Are they keen on I..." with ❤️ 00:22:00 Eric Jobe: There is an emphasis here on “perception” (rgeshta), which he repeats, a perception of the power of faith versus the perception of visible matter. I think this keys into the notion of being drunk. When we are drunk, we lose perception. If we are drunk with faith, we lose perception of worldly things and become perceptive to spiritual things. 00:22:07 Una: How does this paragraph fit with the essence/energy ? 00:23:10 Una: Thank you 00:23:40 Jamie: Reacted to "There is an emphas..." with

On the cross, Jesus bore the sins of the world. The cross shows us both the heinousness of sin and the love of God.

In the latest episode of the Building Better Developers podcast, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche discuss business continuity, a concept that is often overlooked until it's too late. They explore the question: What happens when business operations are disrupted? Whether it's an illness, a vacation, unexpected growth, or even a global crisis, ensuring that a business can continue operating smoothly is essential for long-term success. What is Business Continuity? Business continuity is the ability of a company to keep running even when unexpected events disrupt normal operations. Unlike disaster recovery, which focuses on bouncing back after a catastrophe, continuity planning is about avoiding downtime in the first place. For entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and small business owners, this means having systems, processes, and contingencies to keep things moving forward. As Rob points out, contingency planning isn't something many small businesses think about until they need it. "We don't tend to think about it until we get into it," he says, "and then by the time we're out of it, we forget about it." This lack of foresight can lead to unnecessary stress, lost revenue, and even business failure when an unexpected challenge arises. The Good and Bad of Growth and Stability Rob and Michael highlight a key challenge they've faced recently—unexpected growth affecting stability. Growth is a great problem to have, but it can catch businesses off guard. Hiring new team members, scaling processes, and adjusting to new demands require strategic planning. Rob shares that his boutique consulting firm, RB Consulting, has had to face this head-on. "We were not as prepared for the growth as we would have liked to be," he admits. The lesson? If you don't anticipate growth and put structures in place, scaling can become a bottleneck rather than an opportunity. Michael echoes this sentiment, sharing his own struggles with hiring at his company, EnvisionQA. "It's not real easy to just go out and grab someone off the Internet and say, ‘Hey, come work for me.' You have to find the right people who align with your mission and goals to ensure smooth operations." Avoiding Single Points of Failure One of the most critical aspects of operational stability is identifying and eliminating single points of failure. If one key person or system is the only thing holding a business together, that business is fragile and at risk of significant disruption. Michael brings up financial security as an example. He recently faced a fraud alert that locked him out of his business bank account. This experience made him realize he was the sole person with access to critical financial tools. "If I were to get hit by a bus, or I were to get sick or go on vacation, are the bills still going to get paid?" To mitigate risks like this and ensure stability, businesses need to: Document key processes and make sure others can step in when necessary. Use automation for routine tasks, ensuring payroll, invoices, and customer communications don't halt. Cross-train employees so that no task depends on just one person, ensuring seamless operations. Planning for Life Events Maintaining business operations isn't just about emergencies—it's also about enjoying life without worrying about work. Rob points out that if your business requires you to be there daily, you're not running a business—you have a job. "If my daughter decides she wants to have a baby, and suddenly I'm out for a week being a grandpa, how am I going to keep the business going?" Michael asks. This question applies to all entrepreneurs. Can you take time off without disrupting daily operations? If the answer is no, it's time to rethink your systems. Using Automation, Documentation, and Delegation with Business Continuity The episode circles back to a recurring theme: automation, documentation, and delegation. The hosts encourage business owners to: Automate repetitive tasks to minimize manual workload. Create clear documentation so that employees or contractors can step in when needed. Delegate responsibilities to team members instead of trying to do everything alone. A practical example they discuss is the podcast itself. Rob and Michael record episodes in advance to ensure content keeps flowing even if they can't record for a week. The same principle applies to blogs, marketing campaigns, and customer support—businesses should plan and have a buffer to maintain smooth operations. The Business Stability Challenge At the end of the episode, Rob challenges listeners to analyze their own business by asking: What would have happened last week if you weren't available? What critical tasks would have gone unfinished? Who could have stepped in, and how can you make it easier for them to do so next time? What documentation, automation, or delegation can you implement to improve overall stability? By taking proactive steps today, business owners can reduce stress, improve resilience, and create a thriving company—even when life throws curveballs. Final Thoughts on Business Continuity Operational continuity is not just about handling disasters—it's about building a strong, scalable business that can run smoothly even when you step away. Whether it's an unexpected illness, a surprise growth spurt, or a well-earned vacation, having the right processes in place ensures your business can continue operating successfully.

This week Michelle is joined by co-host Stuart to discuss the vital importance of correctly interpreting the Bible, something most Christians are not taught to do. They delve into the consequences of misinterpretation, including its effects on individual well-being, church culture, control and abuse, eschatology, and societal issues such as foreign policy and wars. Key principles such as the Bible being the best interpreter of the Bible, understanding the Bible's genres, primary audience, idioms, time indicators, and contextual usage are highlighted. They also explain how everything in the Bible points to Jesus Christ and emphasize the importance of understanding the Old Testament in order to interpret the significance of the New.

Stasi is happy to welcome back Liz Wright — best-selling author, international speaker, and CEO and Founder of the International Mentoring Community — whose life is a beautiful testimony of profound transformation because of the love of Christ. Today's conversation is a divine invitation. Jesus is calling us into rest — not just as a moment of pause, but as a way of continually living in Him. Together, they unpack the power of trusting Jesus and the freedom that comes when we surrender and believe. May your heart be drawn closer to Him as you receive the rest He so freely gives!…..SHOW NOTES:…..VERSES: Psalm 62:1 (NIV) – Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him.Jeremiah 6:16 (NIV) – This is what the Lord says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.'Hebrews 4:1-3 (NLT) – God's promise of entering his rest still stands, so we ought to tremble with fear that some of you might fail to experience it. For this good news – that God has prepared this rest – has been announced to us just as it was to them. But it did them no good because they didn't share the faith of those who listened to God. For only we who believe can enter his rest. As for the others, God said, “In my anger I took an oath: ‘They will never enter my place of rest,'” even though this rest has been ready since he made the world.Matthew 11:28 (NLT) – Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.2 Corinthians 3:17 (NLT) – For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.Ephesians 4:23-24 (NLT) – Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God – truly righteous and holy.Philippians 4:19 (NLT) – And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.…..LIZ WRIGHTWebsite: https://lizwright.org/Website: https://www.jointheimc.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/lizwrightShow: https://www.god.tv/ministries/liz-wright/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizwrightministries/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lizwrightministriesLIZ WRIGHT BIOLiz Wright's story is one of radical transformation.

"And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'" - Matthew 25:40Millions of people around the world need the basic necessities of life, but even more importantly—they need the Gospel. One organization is helping them receive both. Kelly Miller joins us with an impact report.Kelly Miller is the CEO and President of Cross International, an underwriter of Faith & Finance.A Ministry Model Built on PartnershipCross International's approach to global missions is unique. Instead of working independently, they partner with local Christian organizations, churches, and nonprofits in the countries where they serve.These local partners know their communities far better than we do, and Cross International's role is to walk alongside them and help them expand on what God has already called them to do.This collaborative model not only maximizes impact but also reflects the unity of the Body of Christ as believers across the globe work together to serve those in desperate need.An Impact Report: What God is Doing Through Cross InternationalCross International's mission goes beyond charity. It is about sharing Jesus' love while addressing critical physical needs.Here's a snapshot of what God is doing through their ministry:40,000 children and adults receive food support annuallyOver 3 million servings of fortified rice were provided last year16,000 people gained access to clean, safe drinking waterHundreds of thousands received medical supplies and essential medicinesEach of these numbers represents real lives being changed—people who are now experiencing hope, stability, and the love of Christ.Serving in Crisis: Cross International's Work in HaitiHaiti has endured political instability, gang violence, and natural disasters, yet in the midst of turmoil, Cross International continues to bring hope.Key Ministries in Haiti:Primary education for thousands of childrenTutoring and vocational training to prepare young people for employmentDaily nutritious meals—often the only meal a child will eat all-dayDespite the negative news headlines, God is moving in Haiti, and Cross International is at the forefront of that transformation.Caring for Orphans and Vulnerable Children in AfricaIn many African nations, AIDS, poverty, and natural disasters have left countless children orphaned and homeless. Through their partnerships, Cross International provides:Education and tutoring for at-risk childrenDaily meal support for children without food securityHome rebuilding for families living in unstable, mud-based housingBy offering stable housing, education, and nourishment, Cross International is breaking the cycle of poverty for these children and their families.One of the most inspiring aspects of Cross International's work is how it transforms entire communities.Take Malawi, for example—a country where child malnutrition and extreme poverty are common. Without the feeding program, many children would not go to school. The cycle of poverty would continue. In many cases, young girls would be married off at 11 or 12 years old because their families cannot afford to feed them. This program is breaking that cycle.Through Cross International's work in Tanganyika, Malawi, over 500 children receive food, education, and discipleship—offering them a new future filled with hope and purpose.Meeting Spiritual Needs Alongside Physical OnesCross International provides food, water, and education, but it also shares the life-changing truth of the Gospel with its beneficiaries.Children need to be rooted in God's Word from a young age because navigating life becomes much harder without it. When they learn early on, they grow up with the unshakable truth that God is their provider, guiding and sustaining them through every season of life.Cross International's faith-centered mission is a direct response to 1 John 3:17, which reminds us that true love for God is demonstrated in how we care for those in need.How You Can Partner with Cross InternationalCross International has launched the Thriving Kids Initiative, a program designed to help orphaned, vulnerable, and disabled children not only survive but thrive.By focusing on three key areas:Strengthening familiesBuilding faith communitiesProviding essential resources (food, water, shelter, education)Cross International creates a foundation for long-term stability and spiritual growth.For just $62 a month, you can provide:Nutritious mealsClean and safe drinking waterEducation and discipleshipVisit crossinternational.org/faith to become a monthly partner.As believers, we are called to use our financial resources for God's purposes. Partnering with Cross International is a tangible way to invest in lives, eternity, and the Kingdom of God.God entrusts us with wealth so we can join Him in His work, using our resources to further His Kingdom. As the Body of Christ, let's come together to transform lives and bring the hope of Jesus to those in greatest need.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have a question about rebalancing for 401(k) accounts. My husband and I are both retired now, and our advisor is advising us to rebalance. I'm not sure what the pros and cons are of rebalancing. What should I know about it?I have a few hundred thousand dollars that I want to invest, but I don't know where to start. I have about $100,000 in a savings account and another $100,000 in an 18-month CD, earning 4.5%. What should I do with this money to start investing it?I have a question about how Social Security benefits are calculated.

Send us a text by clicking this link!The paradox of Christian suffering stands at the heart of our Lenten journey. Through Christ's prediction of His Passion, we confront a profound spiritual reality: suffering, while an evil in itself, becomes transformative when embraced for the right purpose.Our natural instinct rebels against pain. Modern society encourages us to eliminate all discomfort, creating what we might call an "effeminate" mindset—not feminine, but comfort-seeking and pain-avoiding. Yet Christ's invitation remains unchanged: "If anyone wishes to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." This call often confounds us as much as it did the apostles who abandoned Jesus despite His clear warnings.Navigating between extremes helps us understand suffering's true purpose. On one hand, prosperity gospel teachings suggest Christians shouldn't suffer because Christ suffered for them—missing our participation in redemption. On the other, Catholics can sometimes appear to value suffering for its own sake, which misses the point entirely. As Father Troadec reminds us, suffering "does not deserve to be loved for its own sake" but only as a means to "the redemption and sanctification of souls." This transforms our trials from meaningless pain into spiritual currency, for "souls are not given away. They are bought at the price of suffering."Perhaps most practically, today's meditation challenges us to stop complaining—especially about trivial matters like weather—while fellow Christians worldwide face genuine persecution. Our complaints reveal our rejection of the Cross rather than its embrace. By accepting small sufferings without grumbling, we train ourselves for weightier crosses ahead and participate in Christ's redemptive work. What suffering might you offer up today for the salvation of souls?Support the showSponsored by Recusant Cellars, an unapologetically Catholic and pro-life winery from Washington state.

Cynthia Cross was all set for a career in accounting when she went to college. A wise professor suggested she would not like that major and encouraged her to do something else where she could utilize her social skills and outgoing personality more. Upon graduation she moved to Wichita, Kansas and met a sales manager who encouraged her to get into a sales role.  Cynthia says the throughline in her entire career has been who she knows, not what she knows. Good question for the audience - how are you building your network? Do you work at it every day or week?  Most of us haven't been with one employer for more than a few years - Cynthia has now been at Cox Communication for over 17 years. Listen to her story and about her love of sales.  But we both agree - sales isn't for everyone - is it for you?  More about Cynthia: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cynthia-cross/   More about Women Sales Pros - we have a website, we are on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram.  Subscribe to our 2x a month news, and share the podcast with others!

Lead Pastor Caleb Click walks through the second half of the Book of Mark, a series he began in Spring 2024. If the first half of Mark is all about who Jesus is, the back half is about what he's come to do. Jesus upsets all his disciples' expectations for the Messiah by relentlessly pointing them towards the necessity of the cross while also showing his heart for us because; as awful as the cross is, he never turns away from it. He has come not to be served but to serve and give his life as a ransom for many (Mark 10:45). The cross is ever before Jesus, and he would have it be ever before his ransomed people as we follow after him.   Lead Pastor Caleb Click Oak Mountain Presbyterian Church Birmingham, Alabama March 16, 2025

The Canada-U.S. electricity trade has long been a stable pillar of the North American energy grid. But with new tariffs, retaliatory surcharges, and shifting energy policies, what does the future hold? Inspired by Canada-U.S. Electricity Tariffs: The Consequences and Opportunities, this episode unpacks the complex trade dispute that started with a 10% U.S. tariff on Canadian electricity and led to Ontario's 25% retaliatory surcharge—affecting over 1.5 million U.S. homes and businesses.We discuss:Why the U.S. and Canada are so dependent on each other for electricityHow tariffs could drive up costs for consumers and industriesPotential energy independence strategies, from nuclear expansion to renewablesThe risks of disrupting a shared energy gridWhy the future of North American energy may be more localized and diversifiedWhat You'll Learn in This Episode:1. The Tariff Battle and Its Immediate ImpactsThe Trump administration's 10% tariff on Canadian electricity and Ontario's 25% retaliatory surcharge on key U.S. states.How this could increase U.S. household electricity bills by $100 per month in affected regions.Why the tariffs were quickly suspended—but uncertainty remains.2. The Bigger Picture: Why Canada-U.S. Electricity Trade MattersCanada has traditionally supplied far more electricity to the U.S. than it imports.Cross-border power trade is critical for grid stability, especially in extreme weather events.The U.S. increased its electricity exports by 70% in 2023, making the trade more balanced than before.3. The Push for U.S. Energy IndependenceTariffs could boost domestic energy production, accelerating:New nuclear power plants (with support from federal incentives).Expanded solar and wind farms to diversify supply.Increased oil and gas exploration to fill short-term gaps.The challenge of scaling up new power sources quickly enough to replace Canadian imports.4. The Risks of Grid DisruptionsCanada and the U.S. have a deeply connected grid, meaning tariffs could weaken energy security on both sides.Droughts in Canada reduced hydropower availability, increasing reliance on U.S. electricity exports.If grid separation continues, both countries may need to invest heavily in energy storage and new transmission lines.5. The Future of Energy in North AmericaThe U.S. government and private sector are investing heavily in nuclear energy, with:Microsoft and Google backing new nuclear projects.The ADVANCE Act streamlining licensing for new nuclear reactors.States repurposing coal plant sites for nuclear expansion.Will energy trade remain a pillar of the U.S.-Canada relationship, or will we see a shift toward localized energy solutions?Key Takeaways:Electricity tariffs create uncertainty for businesses, consumers, and the energy sector.Energy independence efforts are ramping up, but replacing imports isn't a short-term fix.The U.S. and Canadian grids are deeply connected, and disrupting that relationship could have serious consequences for reliability.Nuclear, renewables, and modernized grids could define the future of North American energy.Subscribe to our podcast for insights on energy policy, trade dynamics, and the future of sustainable power.

“The Cross of Christ” “o]z' v|Li6sf] j|'m;”  This is a Lent series for March-April, 2025. In this series at Cross-Way, we'll explore many different angles to the meaning of “the Cross of Jesus Christ”. John RW Stott says that the Cross of Christ is the center and heart of Christianity, shaping the faith, ethics, and mission of the Church. “The cross is the unique place where God's love, mercy, holiness, and justice meet.” Therefore, “the cross transforms everything.” It gives us a new, worshipping relationship to God, a new and balanced understanding of ourselves, a new incentive to give ourselves in mission, a new love for our enemies, and a new courage to face the perplexities of suffering.” (11).  According to Stott, “Stott presents the cross as the defining event of Christian faith, emphasizing its necessity, significance, and implications for believers. He engages with biblical, historical, and theological perspectives, addressing key questions about atonement, salvation, and discipleship.” (chat GPT in summary of The Cross of Christ. No, I don't use ChatGPT to prepare my sermons).  These are some of the themes we will explore in this series. Here are some quotations from the book: “The cross enforces three truths: about ourselves, about God, and about Jesus Christ.” “The Christian life is not just a matter of getting into heaven, but of taking up the cross and following Christ.” “Suffering is the badge of true discipleship.”  The need for this series address is that, our world of Nepali Christianity does not resonate with (or understand favorably) suffering, loss, pain and grief as a good and necessary part of our discipleship (following Christ honestly). The hardest challenge to Christianity is that “If God is so good, why is there so much suffering and evil in the world?” Personal sufferings, evil and injustice, especially if it comes upon innocent people like children. Similarly, the wars and its impact on people's lives and community (like currently in Sudan, and Ukraine). We will address these, but exhaust the answers.  The Bible tells us that if we are to follow Christ, suffering is part of our lives calling, and we better learn to view them in the light of the Bible.

Send us a textTALK 3: THE FACES OF JESUS IN THE BOOK OF REVELATIONJohn invites us to step into God's world and to be transformed in the process. For, yes, John's visions reveal a world, God's world, but at the same time, they also create a world. For in what John describes through the open door into heaven, not only do we hear the songs of the angels, but we are invited to add our own voices to the growing chorus of divine praises of the God who “makes all things new.”  TALK 4: JESUS WALKS AMONG THE SEVEN CHURCHESThe angelic Jesus, in essence, is saying: give courageous witness to the truth of the Gospel before a disbelieving world that is hostile to Christ's message. Do not be afraid to share in the mystery of the Cross, and you will acquire a share in what I Am.

About the Guest: Caroline Tracey is a distinguished writer focusing on topics related to art, literature, environment, and migration in the U.S., the Southwest, Mexico, and borderland regions. Caroline contributes to the Border Chronicle, among other reputable publications such as N1, The Nation, and The Guardian. Not only does she have expertise in English, but she is also trilingual, proficient in Spanish and Russian. Caroline's significant contributions to journalism include winning the 2019 Scoundrel Time Summer Literary Seminars nonfiction contest for her work on migrant deaths in South Texas. With a PhD in geography from UC Berkeley, Caroline is currently working on a book about salt lakes, set to be published by W.W. Norton. Episode Summary: In this episode of "90 Miles from Needles," host Chris Clarke converses with Caroline Tracey, a talented journalist with a focus on the borderlands of the U.S. and Mexico. The discussion revolves around Plan Sonora, a significant energy transition and development initiative in the Mexican state of Sonora, which borders the U.S. state of Arizona. Through this lens, Caroline explores the impacts of renewable and fossil fuel energy developments, such as lithium mining and solar arrays, on both local ecosystems and indigenous communities. Her insights underscore the complex balance between industrial progress and environmental conservation. The episode gives an in-depth look at Plan Sonora's four key components: a major solar array in Rocky Point, the nationalization of lithium mining reserves, an expansive natural gas pipeline project, and logistic developments that aim to transform Sonora into an economic hub. Caroline delves into activism efforts against these developments, particularly highlighting successful campaigns led by environmental groups against the Mexico Pacific's Saguaro Energy Project. By doing so, she paints a vivid picture of the current tensions between commercial ambitions and advocacy for ecological protection and cultural preservation. Key Takeaways: Plan Sonora: This encompasses solar power projects, lithium mining, natural gas pipeline proposals, and logistical developments, transforming Sonora into a critical player in renewable energy. Cross-border Impacts: Renewable energy developments in Mexico cater largely to U.S. demands, raising concerns about "green colonialism." Opposition and Activism: Indigenous communities and environmental activists are actively opposing certain projects due to cultural and environmental implications, most notably the pipeline and terminal proposals along the Gulf of California. Political Dynamics: Recent changes in Mexico's administration and judicial system reform are smoothing the way for energy investment and curtailing environmental regulations. Economic and Environmental Tensions: Despite opportunities for economic growth, critics argue these projects risk damaging vital ecosystems and stripping local communities of benefits. Notable Quotes: "Personally, I increasingly think that enlisting large corporations to do your climate mitigation work is inevitably going to kick you in the butt." - Chris Clarke "They plan to build a couple other solar plants that are of similar size…[in] the Gulf of California." - Caroline Tracey "There are four pipelines that are being developed right now…[raising] economic development to the detriment of people in Mexico." - Caroline Tracey "If indeed we're going to transition to renewable energy, that means first of all, stopping new extraction projects." - Caroline Tracey Resources: Caroline Tracey’s work at the Border Chronicle: https://www.theborderchronicle.com Caroline Tracey’s personal website: https://cetracey.com Ballenas ó Gas in Spanish: https://ballenasogas.org/ and in English: https://whalesorgas.org/ Article by By Martha Pskowski, Inside Climate News, and Alejandra Martinez, the Texas Tribune on opposition to the Saguaro Pipeline in Van Horn, TX: https://insideclimatenews.org/news/20122023/west-texans-rally-against-cross-border-pipeline/ Stay tuned to "90 Miles from Needles" for more enlightening discussions on desert protection and environmental advocacy.Become a desert defender!: https://90milesfromneedles.com/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's episode of the Atheist Experience, Justin and The Cross Examiner, work with the Legendary Jesus who uses preferred pronouns in the simulation created by Bible bashing atheists that question the answers given by the argument from motion.JIm in MO compares Jesus to King Arthur because he could be a legendary character where everything is written down after the fact. Justin explains how he learned in Seminary that it was a given that Jesus was a real person. What are your experiences like when people attempt to prove the existence of Jesus?Mike in SC wants to know how using pronouns is any different from the Emperor wearing new clothes in the movie, The Emperor's New Groove.  Why would this be comparable to a fictional story? Would you choose to call someone other than their name? Refusal to use preferred pronouns are black and white fallacies and false equivocations because there is more that goes on other than what is between your legs. There are mountains of evidence that show that the gender one identifies with is different from the biological sex. Why is it a problem to use the pronoun that someone requested? Where in the Bible does it say that using preferred pronouns is breaking a rule? Gender and sex are NOT the same thing. Ransom in WY, believes we are in a simulation with a bunch of idiots that have better computers than we do, and that atheism has an incorrect view of the universe. Atheism does not say that this universe is all that exists. Our claim is not to know what is not in our universe; it is simply not believing that a god exists. The observer being necessary is not how the Double Slit Experiment works. Joshua in AZ thinks faith is just trust and does not like the hosts bashing the Bible because it is a big deal to believers who take it seriously. We can find numerous contradictions and historical errors in the Bible. If this book is from god, where is the evidence? Is it Bible bashing to question the absurdities in it? We don't have to respect people's beliefs, and that is different from respecting the person. Is being taught something from someone in authority or someone that you trust a good reason to believe it? As the outrageousness of the claim increases, your demand for evidence also needs to increase. How can god exist if he is so unaware of human biology that he created a law allowing women to be stoned to death for not bleeding on their wedding night? It is okay to look at the man behind the curtain and realize the house of cards is about to crumble.Hannah in MS presents the argument from motion where there must be a first cause of motion outside of space and time, and that first cause is god. What evidence do you have that anything outside of space and time can exist and that it can interact with things inside space and time? How is this god distinguishable from things that don't exist? Does space time exist as most physicists do? This is an example of an argument that believers make so they don't feel silly about their beliefs.Jimmy Jr. joins us to show his obligatory drawing of Jesus with a they/them name tag!
