The sermon examines Mark 15:37-39, focusing on Jesus' final cry, the tearing of the temple veil, and the centurion's confession. It emphasizes that Jesus' declaration 'it is finished' signifies the complete payment for sin and the satisfaction of God's wrath through propitiation, redemption, justification, and reconciliation. The tearing of the veil illustrates the removal of separation between God and humanity, granting believers direct access to the Father. The centurion's recognition of Jesus as the Son of God serves as a model for personal faith and public confession. Ultimately, the message calls listeners to trust in Christ's completed work for salvation and to live in the freedom it provides.

We are thrilled to welcome Chicago-based interior designer Sarah Vaile to the podcast! Known for her bold use of color, fresh traditional style, and making classic spaces feel lively, Sarah has built an incredible coast-to-coast design firm. After pivoting from a corporate advertising career in her late 20s, she trained under industry icon Celerie Kemble before striking out on her own. Sarah sits down with Caroline, Taryn, and Liz to tackle one of interior design's absolute trickiest topics: scale. She shares her brilliant real-world hacks for testing furniture volume before you buy, why she loves wall-to-wall "sofa drenching" in tight spaces, and how to layout a dual-purpose office and guest room to conquer the dreaded "zoom gloom." Quick Decorating Takeaways: Scale is All About Visual Volume: Scale isn't just about simple dimensions; it's the balance of shapes, pattern, and mass in a room. When mixing antique and modern pieces, keep an eye on mass—newer furniture skews much larger ("California scale"), which can easily swallow up older heirloom items. Get Physical in Your Space: Don't rely solely on 2D digital layouts. To build confidence before hitting buy, physically map out a room using blue painter's tape on the floor, arrange empty cardboard boxes to test physical height, or tape a 1-to-1 paper cutout of a light fixture straight to the wall. Try "Sofa Drenching" in Small Rooms: Don't automatically buy a tiny love seat just because a room is tight. Small spaces can actually handle a giant sofa wrapped wall-to-wall. By making the entire room about the seating, you create an incredibly cozy, enveloping, and high-drama jewel box. Don't Get Stranded on "Rug Island": A common design trap is placing a floating area rug in the dead center of a room with all your furniture pushed completely off it. To bridge your hard floors with your texturing, ensure your seating "straddles" both worlds by keeping their front feet on the rug and their back feet off. Banish the Zoom Gloom: Dark colors like navy blue can throw an unflattering, shadowed cast on your face during computer calls. When designing a home office space, look for bright, invigorating colors that act like a flattering backdrop—think pistachios, corals, or soft apricots.

This episode of Behind the Curtain is a toast to new beginnings. It's a special introduction to LA Opera's new Music Director, Domingo Hindoyan, joined in conversation by LA Opera President and Chief Executive Officer, Christopher Koelsch. Domingo shares deeply about his youthful discipline on the violin, his first experience conducting (which he describes as a "wave of sound"), and his equal love of symphonic work and opera. The conversation then lights on the joy of collaboration and having the utmost respect for the orchestra's skills. So settle in and meet the Maestro, and then get tickets for LA Opera's 26/27 season at laopera.org.

Few people in law enforcement have seen the Colombian cartel world up close the way a career DEA agent has, operating in the same dangerous terrain as the Medellin and Cali organizations, tracking their money, mapping their networks, flipping their members, and watching from the front lines as those empires rose, fractured, and gave way to the next generation of narco power that would fill the vacuum they left behind. This episode features a retired DEA agent whose career put him in direct contact with the operational reality of Colombian drug trafficking at its peak, covering everything from the financial architecture of cartel money laundering to the human intelligence tradecraft required to build cases against organizations that killed anyone who got too close. This is a ground-level account of the war on drugs told not through policy papers or journalism but through the eyes of someone who lived it, and what he has to say about the cartels, the mission, and the cost of that career will stay with you long after the episode ends.

On this episode of Fifty Shades of Green, Adam Lake and Katie Lanegran dive into the intersection of theatre and climate with Molly Braverman, Executive Director of the Broadway Green Alliance. If you love Broadway — or care about practical climate action — this conversation reveals how the theatrical world backstage and onstage is being transformed to reduce emissions, cut waste, and inspire audiences.Molly explains Broadway Green Alliance's two-part mission: make theatre operations more sustainable (lower emissions, boost circularity, change backstage practices) and use the cultural power of Broadway to reach audiences with climate solutions. She walks us through concrete, replicable programs that show sustainability can be both creative and cost-effective — and often a better business decision.Highlights from the episode:Green Captains: A volunteer program with over 1,600 green captains across Broadway, touring productions, colleges, unions, and community theatres. These sustainability champions receive department-specific toolkits and one-on-one support to implement changes that fit each show's needs, from stage management to props.Rechargeable batteries at Wicked: A striking example of impact — Wicked moved from 15,000 single-use alkaline batteries per year to 96 rechargeable batteries, dramatically reducing e-waste and costs while maintaining show safety.LED marquees: A Broadway-wide transition from incandescent bulbs to LEDs has saved over 10,000 tons of carbon to date and delivered substantial financial savings while preserving the iconic look of Times Square.Front-of-house and dressing room changes: From reusable glassware and reusable “sippy” cups to composting in dressing rooms, Molly shares how small visible shifts reduce waste and normalize sustainable behavior for audiences and performers alike.Circular programs and collections: BGA runs specialty collections (flowers and vases, instrument strings, binders and props) partnering with organizations like TerraCycle, D'Addario, Materials for the Arts, and local florists to keep materials in use across the community.Binder lending library: A Midtown lending system for binders (complete with library slips) to reduce single-use purchases for readings and rehearsals — a charming example of theatre's inherently reuse-friendly culture.Audience engagement & storytelling: BGA leverages Broadway's reach — from Earth Month concerts in Times Square to livestreamed events — to educate and inspire audiences. Molly describes using existing shows to “tell climate stories” and creating short climate-themed pieces (e.g., a 30-minute “Climate Talk” with showtune puns) to meet people where they are.Global connections: BGA collaborates with international counterparts (Julie's Bicycle, Theatre Green Book) to share best practices and amplify the performing arts sector's climate leadership worldwide.How to get involved: Molly invites theatre professionals, students, and fans to join BGA's free membership, follow @BroadwayGreenAlliance on social, sign up for the quarterly newsletter, attend public drives in Times Square, or support local theatres by asking what they're doing to be greener.Throughout the episode, Adam, Katie, and Molly keep the chat lively, full of theatre nerd energy and practical optimism. Whether you're a stage manager curious about digitizing paperwork, a performer wanting to start a compost routine, a fan wondering about reusable cups, or a student pursuing theatre and climate studies, this episode shows there's a place for you in the movement — and that “every job is a climate job.”Find out more at BroadwayGreen.com or follow Broadway Green Alliance on Instagram.

Singing in church was Tyler Curtain's first time on stage. Now, the 22-year-old is representing his city on a larger scale. “It was really nerve-wracking, but I was excited because whether or not it went the way I wanted it to, I still got my music out there and somebody heard it.”That's how Curtain summarized his debut performance at the World's Largest Music Festival, which just so happens to take place in his backyard. It was the opening day of Summerfest, and the artist whose style is a mix of contemporary gospel and R&B with jazz undertones went on stage with his own original music, backup singers and a full band.Curtain's performance was part of MKE Live Groove Edition, which Aichelle White started as a bimonthly concert series that connects Wisconsin artists with musicians they might not otherwise have access to. In this episode, we head to the Summerfest grounds and see how MKE Live Groove became an annual part of the festival and how the association provides big opportunities to rising talent.#####Guest host: Rachel TarbyUniquely Milwaukee is supported by our Radio Milwaukee members.

Lost and recovered voices. Contemporary composers and community opera. This episode of Behind the Curtain is a special one because it is the final episode in our miniseries with Maestro Conlon, as he rounds out his final season as Music Director with LA Opera. It's also one of the last episodes of our podcast season as the opera season sings to a close. We'll bring you some episodes from the vault this summer before starting up again with new episodes for our 26/27 season in the fall. But first, enjoy this fascinating exploration of 20th century music with the Maestro, and join us, with all of Los Angeles, in thanking him for an incredible 20 years as Richard Seaver Music Director of LA Opera. What a legacy. Thank you, Maestro, from all of us.

In this episode you'll hear about  moments in people's lives when “the curtain was pulled back” and they saw Jesus in the Eucharist in new and transcendent ways!Readings The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christhttps://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/060726.cfmThe Unknown GodBy Alice Meynell (1921)One of the crowd went up, And knelt before the Paten and the Cup,Received the Lord, returned in peace, and prayed Close to my side; then in my heart I said:"O Christ, in this man's life—This stranger who is Thine—in all his strife, All his felicity, his good and ill,In the assaulted stronghold of his will,"I do confess Thee here,Alive within this life; I know Thee nearWithin this lonely conscience, closed away Within this brother's solitary day"Christ in his unknown heart,His intellect unknown—this love, this art,This battle and this peace, this destinyThat I shall never know, look upon me!​"Christ in his numbered breath,Christ in his beating heart and in his death, Christ in his mystery! From that secret place And from that separate dwelling, give me grace."

Matt Rodin joins the podcast for an invigorating conversation about stepping out of traditional boxes and forging an authentic, sustainable path in the entertainment industry. He shares the remarkable story of his wedding day, which pulling double duty included marrying his husband in Central Park just hours before delivering his high-stakes final callback for the national tour of Company. Matt opens up about the perspective this gave him, detailing how a 360-degree view of the business—shaped by his time as a digital producer at Broadway.com and his husband's work as a talent agent—allows him to navigate the highs and lows of the theater world without taking the rejection personally. The discussion also dives deep into Matt's passion for technological innovation and community building. He pulls back the curtain on his latest venture, theater.games, explaining how his curiosity with AI code tools allowed him to develop daily theater puzzles like Spike and Curtain that have rapidly captured tens of thousands of players globally. From his early days creating the "Red Carpet Challenge" with a selfie stick to preparing for a whirlwind 12-hour recording session for the Beau cast album, Matt emphasizes the power of self-reliance, creativity, and the joy of creating work with friends rather than waiting for gatekeepers to open doors. Matt Rodin is a Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Award-nominated actor, creator, and creative consultant. His extensive stage credits include starring as Jamie in the national tour of the Tony-winning revival of Company, Roger in Rent at Paper Mill Playhouse, and the title role in Hedwig and the Angry Inch at Milwaukee Rep, alongside leading the off-Broadway premiere of Adam Gwon's All The World's A Stage with Keen Company. A prominent digital pioneer within the Broadway community, he is the mastermind behind the viral "Red Carpet Challenge," writer of the industry newsletter The Fourth Wall, and the founder of the digital puzzle platform theater.games.

Adam shares his journey from operating a 20-truck pool service company in Phoenix, Arizona, to creating one of the industry's fastest-growing software platforms after realizing that technician accountability, customer retention, and operational scalability were problems traditional management methods could not fully solve. The conversation explores PoolBrain's latest breakthrough: fully automated LSI (Langelier Saturation Index) chemical dosing. Adam explains how PoolBrain now integrates with the Arenda calculator to automate complex water chemistry calculations, allowing companies to establish their preferred LSI methodology once and have the system consistently execute those calculations for technicians in the field. The result is reduced training time, increased consistency, improved water balance, and fewer chemistry-related mistakes. Natalie and Adam also discuss one of the industry's most persistent challenges: technician turnover. Adam explains how PoolBrain was originally built to solve the difficulties of managing field technicians, maintaining service quality, and scaling operations without increasing administrative burden. The discussion highlights how automation can reduce training requirements, standardize procedures, and help companies maintain quality regardless of staffing changes. The episode takes a deep dive into the growing role of automation in pool service operations, including: Automated chemical dosing  AI-assisted tablet recommendations  Customer communication systems  Route management  Billing automation  Service verification  Preventative maintenance alerts  Equipment monitoring  Inventory management innovations Adam explains how modern software is shifting pool companies from reactive management to proactive operations by identifying problems before they become customer complaints. Examples include tracking PSI trends to detect clogged impellers, identifying recurring chemistry issues before pools turn green, and automatically notifying customers when routes change. One of the most anticipated segments focuses on PoolBrain's future inventory management system. Adam outlines a vision of fully automated inventory tracking that follows products from supplier purchase to truck stock to chemical consumption at individual pools. The goal is a closed-loop inventory ecosystem that dramatically reduces waste, improves accountability, and eliminates countless hours of manual inventory management. Natalie also challenges Adam on several common industry myths, including: "Software is only for large companies."  "All pool software is basically the same."  "Technicians hate software." Adam explains why smaller companies often benefit just as much as larger operations and why modern pool software is evolving far beyond simple digital service logs into comprehensive operational platforms. The discussion concludes with a look at the future of the industry, including remote equipment monitoring, automated chemistry management, AI-assisted operations, integrated supplier purchasing, and the increasing role of data-driven decision-making in pool service businesses. Adam shares his belief that many operational tasks currently performed manually will become fully automated within the next five years, allowing service companies to focus more on customer relationships and business growth. Whether you're a single-pole operator, route manager, service technician, or owner of a multi-truck operation, this episode offers a fascinating look at how technology is reshaping the future of pool service.Key Topics Discussed The origins of PoolBrain  Technician turnover and accountability  Automated LSI dosing  AI-driven chemical recommendations  Customer communication automation  Service verification and photo documentation  Inventory management and purchasing automation  Operational scalability  Customer portals and self-service tools  The future of AI in pool service  Remote monitoring and predictive maintenance  Why software is becoming essential for competitive pool companies GuestAdam Beach Founder and CEO of PoolBrain, former pool service company owner, and software innovator focused on solving operational challenges within the pool service industry.HostNatalie Hood Director of Education and Events at The Grit GameLearn MorePoolBrain Official Website#TalkingPools #PoolBrain #PoolService #SwimmingPoolIndustry #LSI #PoolChemistry #PoolTech #PoolBusiness #PoolIndustryTechnology #AutomationInPools Support the showThank you so much for listening!

California is at a breaking point. Newsom's corruption, crime, homelessness, immigration, skyrocketing taxes, the insurance crisis, devastating wildfires, failing infrastructure, and a growing exodus of residents have many Californians asking the same question: How did the Golden State get here? Jillian Michaels sits down with Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, one of the leading candidates in the 2026 California Governor's race, to discuss the policies he says have pushed California into decline—and his plan to reverse course. The conversation dives into Bianco's critiques of fellow gubernatorial candidates Xavier Becerra, Katie Porter, and Tom Steyer, tackling issues ranging from healthcare for undocumented immigrants and gender policy to immigration enforcement, homelessness spending, and government accountability. Sheriff Bianco pulls no punches as he takes on Governor Gavin Newsom's legacy, California's homelessness crisis, sanctuary state policies, Proposition 36, public safety, immigration, wildfire prevention, the California insurance collapse, rising crime rates, and the state's controversial tax policies—including his proposal to eliminate California's state income tax. Jillian and Sheriff Bianco examine why so many residents and businesses are leaving California, whether the state's one-party political system is driving institutional failure, and what it would take to restore affordability, public safety, and opportunity for Californians across the political spectrum. And, Bianco weighs in on Spencer Pratt's chance at winning Los Angeles' Mayoral race. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
