Why do high-performing men lose their identity in midlife? After 35 years on the front lines of emergency medicine and over 170,000 patients treated, Dr. Kenneth Ro stepped back and named something he was seeing repeatedly. The men coming through his ER weren't just breaking down physically. They were losing their identity, their edge, and their sense of purpose. In this conversation, Larry Olsen sits down with Dr. Ro to talk about what happens when a man's identity gets fused to his profession, and what to do about it before it costs him his health, his relationships, or his career. What you'll hear: • The Triple Caretaker Effect and why most men get the order wrong • Why "midlife crisis" is the wrong frame and what Dr. Ro calls a midlife inflection point • The Stephen Covey line that most leaders have heard but very few apply: climbing the ladder against the wrong wall • Dr. Ro on why silence is a bigger health risk factor than blood pressure or cholesterol • What happens when I've attached who I am to what I do? ABOUT DR. KENNETH RO Dr. Kenneth Ro is a double board certified emergency physician with 35+ years on the front lines of emergency medicine and over 170,000 patients treated.

Susan has been connected to The Rose since the mid-1980s, when her boss at Texas Commerce Bank handed her a stack of newspaper articles and asked her to learn everything she could about a surgeon named Dr. Dixie Melillo. That assignment turned into a decades-long relationship with The Rose, years of emceeing fundraising style shows, and an unbroken commitment to the mission that continues today. She launched the Louise McBee Circle of Life Circle of Wreaths, an annual wreath auction run entirely by Art Park Players volunteers in honor of her mother. Her message throughout the years is simple, yet profound: everyone carries a light, and even the smallest flame can be the brightest thing in someone's darkest moment.

How does community word-of-mouth and sustained volunteer loyalty fuel The Rose's mission year after year? 8. Why does Susan send both insured and uninsured women to The Rose, and why does that distinction matter for the organization's funding? 9. How does a small annual fundraiser like a wreath auction contribute meaningfully to The Rose's operating budget? 10. What advice does Susan offer to people who feel their contribution is too small to matter? 11. How does Susan connect her work at Art Park Players with the same values of service, dignity, and community that drive The Rose? Timestamped Overview 00:00 Dorothy introduces Susan Mele: 45 years with Art Park Players, decades of Rose support, her mother's breast cancer journey with Dr. Melillo, and the annual wreath fundraiser named in her mother's honor. 00:52 Dorothy delivers the episode CTA: share this episode and donate at therose.org. 01:38 Dorothy asks Susan to start with herself. Susan describes a lifelong passion for performing, being adopted at 16 days old, and parents who nurtured her drive while grounding her in service and faith. 02:50 Dorothy asks how Susan first learned about The Rose. 02:55 Susan describes working for Tom Watson at Texas Commerce Bank in the mid-1980s. He had her clip every newspaper article she could find about Dr. Dixie Melillo, which led to Dixie joining the bank's board of directors and Susan meeting both Dorothy and Dixie. 03:29 Dorothy notes this connection goes back to 1986 or 1987. 03:47 Susan reflects on what drew her in: the compassion she saw in Dorothy and Dixie, and the contrast between how cancer was perceived in the 1980s and what The Rose was actually doing for women. 05:01 Dorothy recalls The Rose's earliest survivor volunteers and the environment Dixie created, including the time they could not say the word "breast" on television or radio. 05:44 Dorothy asks if breast cancer has touched Susan personally. 05:47 Susan describes her mother's 1993 breast cancer diagnosis. She brought her immediately to Dr. Melillo and The Rose. 06:20 Susan describes her mother's treatment: mastectomy on one side, lumpectomy on the other. Her mother declined reconstructive surgery and was afraid of hair loss. 06:55 Susan describes The Rose's follow-through after surgery: a referral to a wig specialist, fittings for prosthetic breasts and special bras, and ongoing mental and emotional support. Her mother survived. 08:02 Dorothy asks whether that experience deepened Susan's involvement with The Rose. 09:09 Susan describes how the Style Shows worked: store fittings, themed productions, silent auctions, and a community turnout that she believes turned many attendees into lifelong Rose supporters. 10:08 Dorothy asks Susan to recall a favorite Style Show moment. Both remember the 1960s hippie theme as particularly memorable. 11:56 Susan reflects on how events like the Style Show built lasting community investment in The Rose. 12:31 Dorothy asks Susan to talk about Art Park Players. 14:38 Susan describes joining in 1980 as a volunteer vocal coach, working for seven years without pay, then moving to part-time work at $6.50 an hour. She recognized her true calling was not performing but watching children find their voices and confidence. 15:01 Susan describes Art Park Players today: 250 students per semester, the largest children's theater in the city, the largest volunteer base in Deer Park, a Carnival Cruise performance group, a competition troupe through Theater Network of Texas, and scholarship and internship programs. 17:23 Susan describes fundraising within the theater: raising money for student travel, competitions, scholarships, and a private donor who quietly funds costumes and tuition for children whose families cannot afford them. 18:32 Susan reflects on being asked by Sue Finley Myers to carry on the mission when she retired. 18:55 Dorothy asks if students must be Deer Park residents. Susan says no, and describes students traveling from Humble, Cypress, Clear Lake, the Woodlands, and Friendswood. 20:19 Susan confirms Art Park Players is still a dinner theater and the only full year-round dinner theater in the Houston area. She shares that food brings in the husbands. 20:45 Dorothy asks Susan to describe the annual Rose fundraiser. 20:52 Susan describes the origin of the wreath auction: in 2001, volunteers wanted to do something meaningful and creative for The Rose. Inspired by a Circle of Trees event she had helped organize, she proposed handmade wreaths, a never-ending circle with symbolic meaning. 22:52 Susan explains the format: a fall wreath auction for show audiences and a Christmas wreath auction for theater families. Anyone can donate a wreath, and the offerings have grown to include wooden signs, stands, and centerpieces. 24:11 Dorothy confirms the event happens in fall and at Christmas. 24:20 Susan describes a piece made by a longtime volunteer woodworker that now sits in The Rose's lobby, bearing her mother's name. She says friends who come to The Rose for mammograms send her photos of it. 26:36 Susan says the Louise McBee Circle of Life Circle of Wreaths will continue as long as she is alive, regardless of the dollar amount raised. 26:53 Dorothy notes the fundraiser has now run for over 24 years. 27:07 Susan points out that Art Park Players was involved with The Rose even before 2001, through the Style Show partnership in the 1990s, totaling well over three decades of support. 27:33 Dorothy asks Susan's favorite Art Park production. 29:43 Dorothy closes the interview and reflects on the richness of Susan's story. 30:50 Susan shares her final message: everyone is valuable, everyone is worthy, and everyone carries a light. No matter how small the flame, it can be the brightest thing in someone's darkest moment, and that light is hope.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you ever felt like your faith has gone stale or wondered why you don't experience God the way you once did? In Luke 9, the Transfiguration reminds us that faith doesn't begin with dramatic experiences. It begins with trusting Jesus one step at a time. In this message, Nick unpacks one of the most incredible moments in the Gospel of Luke and shows how Jesus reveals His glory, not to create a spiritual high, but to strengthen His followers for a lifetime of faithful obedience. The Christian life isn't built on chasing extraordinary moments. It's built on following an extraordinary Savior.• Faith begins with simple obedience, not spectacular experiences or emotional highs.• As we continue following Jesus, He grows our faith and reveals more of His glory over time.• Jesus is fully God, completely sufficient, and worthy of trusting with every area of our lives.Key Scriptures:Luke 9:23–36Matthew 28:16–20Luke 16:19–312 Peter 1:3–18What is one step of obedience Jesus is calling you to take today? Don't wait for a mountaintop experience before responding to His voice. Trust Him where you are, keep following Him, and watch how He grows your faith over time. If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs the reminder that real faith grows one step at a time.Bayou City Fellowship Cypress Campus | Nick Maricle | June 7, 2026https://linktr.ee/bayoucityfellowship

The Backwoods Cryptid Road Trip rolls south out of the Delaware mud and doesn't stop until the asphalt runs out at the edge of the wet. This stop is Florida, and the thing waiting in the saw grass is the Skunk Ape, the South's swamp-bound cousin to Bigfoot, seven feet of reddish-brown hair that most witnesses say they smell long before they see.Rotten eggs, wet dog, sulfur, a stink that hangs in the yard for an hour after the thing is gone. We get into the encounters fast and we get into a lot of them, because that's what you came for.A night fisherman who kills his lantern and still sees two eyes burning high over the reeds. A family watching something cross the road that stands taller than a six-foot-five inch man. Hunters who could taste the smell before anything stepped out of the palmetto. A scream out of the Big Cypress dark that froze a campsite, and the thing that came to a four-year-old's bedroom window and held her gaze through the glass. Along the way we work the documented record the way you work an open case, weighing a Vietnam vet and former cop named Charles Stoeckman who slept a month with a shotgun, a tour guide and thirty passengers who watched one rock back and forth for fifteen minutes, a fire chief and a real estate agent who saw the same creature minutes apart on the same road, and the 1977 wave that got loud enough that a Florida lawmaker actually tried to make it a crime to harm one.We dig into the famous Myakka photographs, the two flash shots an anonymous grandmother mailed to the Sarasota sheriff asking if anyone was missing an orangutan, and why a quarter century later nobody's closed the case in either direction. We spend real time with Dave Shealy and his Skunk Ape Research Headquarters out on the Tamiami Trail, the man who's given fifty years and the most argued-over footage in the field to proving the thing is real.Then we do the honest part, the bears and the panthers and the genuinely-real wild monkey colonies breeding in Florida's woods, the skeptics inside the research community who put the credible-sighting rate at maybe five out of a hundred and fifty, and the one detail none of the easy answers explains: the smell.Roll the windows up for this one. Trust me. Have you experienced a Bigfoot sighting, Sasquatch encounter, Dogman experience, UFO sighting, or any unexplained cryptid or paranormal event deep in the woods? We want to hear your story.Email your encounter to brian@paranormalworldproductions.com for a chance to be featured on a future episode of Backwoods Bigfoot Stories.Backwoods Bigfoot Stories is a paranormal storytelling podcast featuring real Bigfoot encounters, Sasquatch sightings, Dogman reports, cryptid experiences, and true scary stories from the backwoods.Follow the show and turn on automatic downloads so you never miss a chilling encounter from the forest.

The smaller the state, the closer the monster feels. On this stop of the Backwoods Cryptid Roadtrip we drive all the way down to the bottom of Delaware, the second smallest state in the country, where there's nowhere for a monster to hide and so the monster lives right at the end of your road. Our destination is Selbyville and the Great Cypress Swamp, fifty square miles of black tannin water, standing cypress, and ground so confusing that people still go missing in it. We dig into the land that water made, the colonial isolation that let these stories concentrate and grow stranger with every telling, and the peat fires that burned underground for months and earned the place its other name, the Burnt Swamp.Then we get to what people have actually seen. Hunters in the 1920's  who heard something scream and come at them through the dark water. A bowhunter who smelled it before the footsteps passed under his stand. Fishermen cutting their lines when the splashes coming down the gut were too heavy and too deliberate to be anything that's supposed to be out there. Kids chased off the wooded path. A tall, hairy figure stepping out of the cypress and crossing Route 54  in the headlights. We also tell the true part, because that's the deal on this show.In 1964 a struggling newspaper editor named Ralph Grapperhaus lit a match under the old legend to sell papers, and a Selbyville man named Fred Stevens became the monster in his aunt's raccoon coat and a rubber mask, jumping out at cars until armed hunting parties made it too dangerous to keep going. A young reporter cracked the whole thing open in 1998. But the mask doesn't explain the sightings that came forty years before it, and it doesn't explain why the people who live at the edge of that swamp still won't rule it out.The man in the mask was only the part we could catch. Keep your eyes on the tree line, and if something tall steps into your headlights down there in the dark, don't stop to feed it.Have you experienced a Bigfoot sighting, Sasquatch encounter, Dogman experience, UFO sighting, or any unexplained cryptid or paranormal event deep in the woods?

What does it really mean to follow Jesus?In Luke 9:18-27, Jesus asks the most important question every person must answer: "Who do you say that I am?" In this message, Pastor Jeremiah Meadows unpacks how following Jesus is more than knowing the right answers about Him. It's a daily decision to surrender, take up your cross, and trust Him as King. If you've ever wrestled with the cost of discipleship or wondered what it truly means to follow Jesus, this message is for you.• Following Jesus begins with a personal confession of who Jesus truly is.• Following Jesus means daily surrender and putting His kingdom above our own.• Following Jesus leads through the cross, but ultimately toward glory and resurrection hope.Key Scriptures:Luke 9:18-27This week, ask yourself honestly: Who do I say Jesus is, and does my life reflect that answer? Choose one area of your life to surrender to His leadership and trust Him with it daily. If this message encouraged or challenged you, share it with a friend or family member who needs the reminder that Jesus is worth following.Bayou City Fellowship Cypress Campus | Jeremiah Meadows | May 31, 2026https://linktr.ee/bayoucityfellowship

Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter welcome back two familiar faces to the corner of Rick House in Frankfort: Diane Strong, the driving force behind the Bourbon on the Banks Festival, and Bo Cumberland, the festival's videographer and distillery film maker. Together they settle in for a relaxed preview of the 2026 Bourbon on the Banks Festival — now in its seventh year — touching on new events, expanded programming, sold-out tickets, and the evolution of the single barrel program that has become one of the festival's most celebrated features. On the Tasting Mat: - James E. Pepper 1776 Single Barrel Bourbon (Bourbon on the Banks 2025 Pick): A barrel selected the prior year by Jim, Todd, and Bo at James E. Pepper Distillery in Lexington. Clocking in at 109.4 proof, this single barrel pours with rich aromas of cherry cola, leather, and a subtle barrel funk. The palate delivers a lush butterscotch sweetness — evoking Werther's Original hard candies — balanced by a satisfying peppery bite on the mid-palate. The finish is long, warm, and refuses to fade. A confidently balanced cask-strength pick available at the festival for around $60–65. *(00:01:54)* - Jeptha Creed Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Single Barrel Reserve (Bourbon on the Banks 2025 Pick): A four-grain bourbon — built on the distillery's heirloom Bloody Butcher corn alongside wheat, malted barley, and rye — bottled at 119.52 proof from Warehouse B after seven years and one month of aging. The nose opens with intriguing complexity, revealing sweet cinnamon, a whisper of root beer, and a hint of fresh strawberry. The palate is full-powered and richly flavored, landing on buttered cinnamon pancakes with a wave of deep caramel. A distinctive expression that showcases just how compelling Jeptha Creed's long-aged releases have become. *(00:20:05)* On the Tasting Mat: Beyond the pours, the crew digs deep into everything Bourbon on the Banks 2026 has to offer: a sold-out Bourbon Bell River Tour with Ingram Distillery, the returning Whiskey Thief Kickoff Party (barrel burning included), a free family-friendly Friday night on the lawn with circus performers and a mermaid, the Culinary Bourbon Geek class with Peggy Noe Stevens now pushed to 2 p.m., a Friday VIP Reception and Auction sponsored by Larkin Bourbon, a Saturday morning brunch at Cypress and Oak, expanded single barrel picks from eleven distilleries including Angel's Envy, Pursuit Spirits, Jeptha Creed, Jackson Purchase, Boondocks, and others, and an after-party headlined by Creekwater with bluegrass openers Hancock and Schaus. Twilight tickets for the October 3rd main event are still available at bourbononthebanks.org. Be sure to visit thebourbonroad.com

Who are you trusting to lead your life? In Luke 9, Jesus sends His disciples on mission, contrasts His kingdom with the kingdoms of this world, and reveals Himself as the True Shepherd who provides for His people. While earthly leaders often pursue power, status, and self-interest, Jesus invites us into a different kind of kingdom. One marked by compassion, purpose, and dependence on Him.• Jesus calls every believer to participate in His mission • The True Shepherd cares for the wounded, lost, and weary • God often accomplishes His work through people who feel inadequate and under-resourcedKey Scriptures: Luke 9:1-17 Ezekiel 34 John 15:1-8 Mark 6:30-44This week, take time to consider where Jesus may be inviting you to trust Him more deeply. Are you trying to carry the weight of life on your own, or are you relying on the Good Shepherd who knows how to lead and provide for His people? If this message encouraged you, share it with a friend or family member who needs hope and direction today.Bayou City Fellowship Cypress Campus | Kevin Barra | May 24, 2026Bayou City Fellowship

Wowie! So many excellent fragrances to get your noses around in this episode, it was difficult to know where to begin.

A fragrance that draws you in… and keeps youclose."‘With Ambre Latte, Jordi Fernandez offers a unique and exquisitely refined takeon indulgence.​ The fragrance unfolds in a vaporous cloud of almond milk,delicately infused with roasted tonka bean.​ Indulgence settles in — irresistibleyet perfectly controlled — as a luscious dulce de leche caramel melts into theenveloping softness of vanilla, benzoin and white musks.​Very soon, the fragrance reveals its duality. Beneath the milky caress emergesan intensely addictive woody-amber alchemy. Ambrofix, Georgywood,Akigalawood and white sandalwood structure the composition, infusing it withdepth, sophistication and modernity. They extend the trail with sensual richness,leaving an unforgettable imprint — the perfect balance between gourmandiseand addiction.'Escentric Molecules Cologne OneSuzy described this as feeling like a Cologne that's been whizzed up in a SodaStream machine!

It is freshness concentrated, transparent, and immediate.The heart remains understated: iris, rose, and hedione offer just enoughstructure to support the top note, allowing the bright citrus and juniper to linger.The dry down is linear, calm, and unobtrusive: Ambroxan, Iso E Super, and atrace of musk.

When life feels overwhelming, where do you turn? In Luke 8, we see four desperate situations met by the power and presence of Jesus. From storms and fear to sickness, darkness, and death, this message reminds us that no situation is beyond His authority. If you're walking through anxiety, disappointment, fear, or uncertainty, this sermon is a reminder that Jesus is present, compassionate, and fully in control.• Jesus is sovereign over every storm, fear, and impossible situation we face• Faith is not denying reality, but choosing to trust Jesus in the middle of it• Despair can become the very thing God uses to draw us closer to HimKey Scriptures:Luke 8:22-56John 16:33Philippians 4:11Acts 14:22No matter what you're facing today, don't let fear have the final word. Bring your anxiety, pain, and questions to Jesus and trust Him one step at a time.

What does real faith actually look like? In this message from Luke 8, we explore Jesus' Parable of the Sower and the difference between simply admiring Jesus and truly following Him. Trials, distractions, comfort, success, and culture all reveal what we really believe. This sermon challenges us to ask a difficult but necessary question: Is Jesus enough?• Real faith is revealed when life gets difficult• Following Jesus means choosing Him over comfort, approval, and pleasure• True discipleship is more than belief alone. It produces obedience and perseveranceKey Scriptures:Luke 8:1-21Matthew 23:37Psalm 91:41 Peter 1:6-7If this message challenged or encouraged you, take time this week to honestly ask yourself where Jesus stands in your life. Is He your foundation, or just an addition to everything else?

Drifting through the misty cypress trees of Caddo Lake, Louisiana, at dusk. The water is still... too still. Then something massive breaks the surface – dark, 18 to 20 feet long, wide as a car top, gliding silently like a living shadow. Fishermen swear it wasn't a boat. In the spring of 1969, this wasn't a campfire story. It was front-page news in the Shreveport Times. Locals named her Cypress Cindy. And today, join Gary and GoldieAnn as they go deeper Within the Mists of Louisiana and into the documented encounters that had an entire Louisiana-Texas border community on edge.

Some people sit close to Jesus and still miss Him. Others come broken and leave transformed. In Luke 7, we see a powerful contrast between a religious man who had it all together and a woman who had nothing to offer but her need. One walked away unchanged. The other experienced forgiveness that changed everything. This message challenges the way we think about sin, grace, and what real faith looks like. Are we becoming more like Jesus, or just more religious?- The subtle danger of becoming like the Pharisees without realizing it- Why understanding your need for forgiveness leads to deeper love- What it means to live as a kingdom-minded follower of JesusKey Scriptures:Luke 7:36–50Matthew 16:6Matthew 23:23–24Romans 1:16If this message challenged you, don't just move on from it. Ask God to show you where you may have drifted into religion over relationship, and where He's inviting you to live with greater love and purpose. Share this with someone who needs to be reminded that no one is too far gone for grace.Bayou City Fellowship Cypress Campus | Nick Maricle | May 3, 2026https://linktr.ee/bayoucityfellowship

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss Bot Auto's fully autonomous commercial run from Houston to Dallas, Aurora's expanded partnership with Hirschbach, and Uber's CTO publicly criticizing Waymo on X over safety.With Bot Auto completing a 231 mile commercial paid run with no human in the cab, no safety driver, and no observer, the conversation evolves into a deeper discussion around the imminent Waymo robotaxi moment for autonomous trucking, with Kodiak operating fully autonomous in the Permian Basin and Aurora announcing a non-binding 500 truck MOU with Hirschbach representing roughly 15 percent of the carrier's fleet.While in Houston, Grayson conducted field work riding in a Tesla Unsupervised Robotaxi in the Cypress neighborhood, where he counted 24 robotaxis staged for launch at the Tesla service center, while observing that both the Tesla and Waymo vehicles drove aggressively in a similar manner to Houstonians.More signs emerged this week of the deteriorating relationship between Waymo and Uber as the CTO of Uber made a post on X accusing a Waymo of an aggressive maneuver against a Muni bus in San Francisco, a rare public criticism from a partner in a public forum, reinforcing the deteriorating relationship that appears to be on the verge of a divorce.On the Foreign Autonomy Desk, Grayson and Walt discuss China suspending new autonomous vehicle permits following the Baidu Apollo Go incident in Wuhan where 200 robotaxis simultaneously froze on March 31st, and WeRide's partnership with Lenovo to deploy 200,000 robotaxis over the next five years against a current fleet of 1,125 vehicles.Episode Chapters00:00 Field Work: Bot Auto Launches Fully Autonomous Commercial Service05:42 Aurora's Expanded Partnership with Hirschbach08:53 Congressman Ro Khanna's Anti-Autonomy Stance11:18 Uber and Hertz Partner for Robotaxi Fleet Servicing18:40 Avomo, Moove, and Uber's Fragmented Autonomy Strategy20:07 Uber CTO Publicly Criticizes Waymo on X24:13 Waymo's Next City: Cincinnati or Kansas City?27:30 Tesla Unsupervised Robotaxi in Houston34:37 China Suspends New Autonomous Vehicle Permits39:14 WeRide and Lenovo to Deploy 200,000 Robotaxis40:54 Next Week--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy is the leading applied intelligence platform covering the convergence of automation, autonomy, and the Autonomy Economy.™.Through our podcasts, newsletter, and proprietary applied intelligence, we set the narrative for institutional investors, industry executives, and policymakers navigating the convergence of automation, autonomy, and economic growth.Join institutional investors and industry leaders who read This Week in The Autonomy Economy every Sunday.

Heavy rainfall is ongoing this morning, primarily north of US-59, where a Flood Watch remains in effect. Early impacts are already being observed, including areas of street flooding and rising water levels along creeks and bayous—especially across the شمال and northwest portions of the Houston metro. Overnight, thunderstorms produced pockets of large hail from Sugar Land to Pearland. While storm intensity has briefly decreased, the overall pattern remains active, and multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected to continue through the day. The axis of heaviest rainfall is currently aligned from Columbus through Sealy, Cypress, Kingwood, and Liberty. Additional rainfall totals of 1 to 3 inches are likely, with isolated areas potentially receiving 4 to 5 inches where storms repeatedly move over the same locations. As rainfall continues and soils become increasingly saturated, runoff will intensify, leading to ongoing rises in creeks, bayous, and rivers. Although storm motions are relatively fast, the potential for training storms raises concern for localized flooding, particularly in more vulnerable watersheds. There is also a limited severe weather risk. A few stronger storms today could produce large hail or gusty winds, especially if the coastal boundary shifts farther inland and enhances instability. A strong cold front is expected to move through later today, bringing an end to the rain from north to south by this evening. In its wake, a much cooler and drier air mass will settle into the region, setting up a more pleasant and stable weather pattern for the weekend. The post Stormy start to the day across Southeast Texas

A big pod today, and we start by chatting about Nelly Korda's big win at The Chevron, and it was a clinic, she won by a mile in a dominant display. Mark is amazed that she's only won the 3 majors, it felt like more. As good as Nelly's win was, the crowds and viewership was light, and Mark saw a tweet from Tour Pro Meghan MacLaren who posed the question as to why the interest was down, what is missing? Nick and Mark are huge fans of the women's game and have been for a long time, however we discuss the tweet and kick around what some issues may be.If we were to 'blow up' the women's major structure, what would you do? Mark says Shadow Creek is a no-brainer, and Nick would love to see a Women's Masters type even at Cypress saying it would be huge. Nick and Mark discuss if The Chevron itself is the issue. A good, perhaps not amazing, course. A major named after the sponsor. Nick says it doesn't have the feel of a major.For Hostplus, Mark awards Nelly Korda our 'That's a Plus' for golf, but not for winning the tournament, for something else. And we read a message from wolfpacker David who noticed something interesting on Nellys kit, Mark asks Grok to clarify. For once, Grok works. Marks 50 bucks paying off.What about Matt and Alex Fitzpatrick. What a story. It was a great win, and wonderful to see Alex get some just rewards following the win. We look at where their rankings are on the Find My Player app, if you haven't seen it, we love it. Follow any player on any tour in seconds. Download Find My Player from the App Store or Google Play. And for BMW, Matt Fitzpatrick gets our Touch of Class this week (how many is that!!!).We discuss the LIV news from the last 24-hours which will see a gap in the schedule of 6-weeks, with Louisiana now postponed. What does it mean (if anything). Mark's source, who he spoke to a couple of days ago, has given Mark some very interesting information about the reason why LIV may be slowing slightly - it has something to do with what is going on in Iran. Mark explains.And we talk about the appointment of Jim Furyk as US Ryder Cup captain.After the turn, for Betr, Mark lists the Top 5 courses in the world that would guarantee increased eyeballs were they to host women's majors. Love your thoughts on whether he's nailed it, or missed something.Plenty of action around the world in the PING Globals, Nick runs us through everything, and for Southern Golf Club, lots of feedback today: we start with the PGA cancelling a couple of events and whether this is an opportunity for Australasia to swoop in, Riley has a theory on Min Woo Lee at The Masters, Martin has a question about inconsistent ball striking, Mark has a view on the potential of returning LIV players, John agrees with Nick and Mark from last week that LIV is unsustainable but adds that the PGA's response to LIV has equally been unsustainable. We discuss.Then a couple of whacks. Laurie says that Nick and Mark are 'cheering for the death of LIV'. The boys respond. And Duane says that we're 'berks who are banging on with rubbish'. We respond, and also pay tribute to Duane's use of the word 'berks', and Nick, Mark and Dan kick around some of our favourite insulting words. You might have some to add! (Keep it clean though.....).And Sam wants to know how would LIV working with national opens even work, and why would the players do it?And for the Golf Clearance Outlet a great masterclass from Nick today, on chipping with your left hand low. We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:Hostplus, Talk Birdie To Me's official retirement partnerBMW, luxury and comfort for the 19th hole;Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best;Golf Clearance Outlet, they beat everyone's prices;Betr, the fastest and easiest betting app in Australia;And Southern Golf Club.

What do you do when doubt shows up? Not the surface-level questions, but the deep ones. The kind that hit when life doesn't go the way you expected, when God feels distant, or when things just don't seem to add up. In Luke 7, Jesus meets people in three very different places: the struggling, the seeking, and the skeptical. And in each case, He responds with exactly what they need. This message walks through how Jesus handles doubt and what that means for you when your faith feels shaky. Doubt in the struggle: even faithful people wrestle when life doesn't match their expectations  Doubt in the search: questions aren't the enemy. They can lead to deeper understanding  Doubt in resistance: some reject truth not because of lack of evidence, but lack of willingness Jesus doesn't shame doubt. He meets you in it. But He also doesn't leave you there. He invites you to bring your questions to Him, to trust what He's doing even when you don't fully understand, and to take a next step forward in faith.Key Scriptures: Luke 7:18–35 Isaiah 61:1–2 Malachi 3:1 Jude 1:22Where are you today? Struggling, seeking, or skeptical? Take a step this week. Bring your doubts to Jesus, lean into community, and ask Him to meet you right where you are. And if this message helped you, share it with someone who's been wrestling with questions of their own.Bayou City Fellowship Cypress Campus | Kevin Barra | April 26, 2026 https://linktr.ee/bayoucityfellowship

Perimenopause is one of the most misunderstood phases in a woman's life—and too often, it's missed entirely. Every day, I see women who have been told they're “too young,” that their labs are “normal,” or that what they're experiencing is simply stress or something psychological. And yet, they know something is changing. Perimenopause is not a steady decline. It's a phase of hormonal unpredictability—where estrogen can fluctuate significantly, progesterone declines, and testosterone gradually shifts. These changes can drive a wide range of symptoms that may seem unrelated, but are deeply connected. Yet many women find their symptoms are addressed in isolation—often without a comprehensive view of their hormonal landscape. I believe we can do better. This is where the concept of midlife baseline screening becomes essential. By measuring hormones thoughtfully and at the right time, we can move from assumption to clarity—and from generalized care to a more precise, individualized approach. In this video, I walk through: – Why perimenopause is often overlooked – What is actually happening hormonally – The limitations of symptom-only care – The role of baseline screening – How to find a provider trained in perimenopause and menopause care My goal is simple: to help you better understand your body, and to ensure you are met with the level of care and expertise you deserve. If you're navigating perimenopause, you are not alone—and there are answers.

What if the way you see Jesus isn't fully accurate? In Luke 7, we encounter two powerful moments that challenge our assumptions and expand our understanding of who Jesus really is. From a Roman centurion with unexpected faith to a grieving widow met with deep compassion, we see a Savior who is both fully authoritative and deeply personal. This message walks through how our view of Jesus shapes everything—our faith, our trust, and ultimately how we live. If Jesus truly is who He says He is, then we can't stay the same.• A surprising faith: how a centurion recognized Jesus' authority more clearly than those who knew Scripture• A compassionate Savior: how Jesus steps into pain uninvited and brings life where there was none• A defining question: what you believe about Jesus will determine how you respond to HimKey Scriptures: Luke 7:1–17Matthew 8:5–131 Kings 17:17–24Hebrews 11:6If Jesus is more powerful and more compassionate than you imagined, what does that mean for your life today? Take a step of faith—trust Him not just in what you know, but in how you live. Share this message with someone who needs to see Jesus more clearly.Bayou City Fellowship Cypress Campus | Chad Beckman | April 19, 2026https://linktr.ee/bayoucityfellowship

Loving people is easy… until it's not. What do you do when someone hurts you, opposes you, or feels impossible to love? In Luke 6, Jesus gives one of His most challenging commands: love your enemies. Not just tolerate them. Not just avoid them. Actually love them. This message walks through what that kind of love really looks like, why it's so difficult, and how it's only possible through a transformed heart. If you've ever struggled to forgive, judged others, or felt the gap between who you are and who you want to be, this message is for you.- Jesus calls us to a radical, unconditional love that goes beyond what comes naturally- Our tendency to judge and condemn reveals what's really going on beneath the surface- Real change doesn't come from trying harder, but from surrendering and letting Jesus transform your heartKey Scriptures:Luke 6:27–492 Peter 2:9If there's someone in your life who is hard to love, ask God what it would look like to love them this week. Not in your own strength, but through Him. And if this message challenged you, share it with a friend or family member who needs encouragement today.Bayou City Fellowship Cypress Campus | Jeremiah Meadows | April 12, 2026https://linktr.ee/bayoucityfellowship

Easter isn't just something to celebrate—it's something that confronts you. The resurrection of Jesus isn't meant to be observed and ignored. It demands a response. In this message, we walk through the first Easter morning and discover what it reveals about God and what it requires from us. From the power of the empty tomb to the invitation of new life, this is more than a moment in history—it's a decision point for your life today.- The resurrection confronts us with the reality of an active, powerful God- God doesn't just reveal Himself—He invites you into a relationship with Him- You can't stay neutral with Easter—every person must respond in faith or walk awayKey Scriptures:Matthew 28:1–10Exodus 20Job 38–42Revelation 21:1–5Matthew 11:28–30Easter calls for more than belief—it calls for surrender.

In part two of this needlessly detailed look at the life and times of Dr Alister MacKenzie, Sam takes us through life after WWI and MacKenzie's partnership with Harry Colt and Charles Hugh Allison, as well as the work that leads him to travelling to furthest reaches of the globe. In 1926, MacKenzie travelled to Australia on what would become a career defining two months helping to shaope the Melbourne Sand belt and many other courses around the country, as well as New Zealand, and how MacKenzie would become involved in shaping golf on the West Coast of America. His work at Cypress point is rightly lauded above all others in the world, as well as Pasatiempo where he would spend his final few years. We also touch on his lifestyle, and his controversial divorce, and most importantly the legacy that he leaves behind. Further reading, the MacKenzie chronology is well worth some reading and can be found here, as well as his book - Golf Architecture - in 1920, The Spirit of St Andrews which was published after his death, and the many podcasts and articles that have been dedicated to his work.  Send us a message if you liked the showIf you've enjoyed this episode, please leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!You can follow us along below @cookiejargolf Instagram / Facebook / Twitter / YouTube / Website

What if the life we're chasing is the exact opposite of the life Jesus calls blessed? In Luke 6, Jesus confronts our definition of the good life. He calls the poor, hungry, grieving, and rejected “blessed,” while warning those who are comfortable, satisfied, and praised. This message forces us to ask a deeper question: are we living for what lasts, or just what feels good right now? Jesus isn't just challenging culture. He's inviting us to see life, success, and eternity through completely different eyes.- Jesus redefines blessing by exposing the difference between a godly life and a comfortable life- Wealth, comfort, and approval can quietly pull our hearts away from dependence on God- True life is found in living for eternity and investing in what actually lastsKey Scriptures:Luke 6:17–26Luke 12:13–21Luke 16:19–311 Timothy 6:17–19Philippians 4:12–13Take a moment this week to honestly evaluate what you're living for.

Who's really in charge of your life? In Luke 6, Jesus steps into direct conflict with religious leaders and exposes a tension that still exists today. It's not just about what you believe, but who you're following. Religion tries to earn God's approval through rules, while Jesus invites us into a relationship marked by grace, surrender, and transformation. This message challenges us to examine our hearts. Are we open to what God is doing, or are we holding onto control? Because when we resist Jesus, we risk missing the very work He's doing right in front of us.• Jesus confronts the difference between religion and a real relationship with God• A hard heart leads to criticism, control, and missing the work of God• God works through surrendered people, but may move around those who resist HimKey Scriptures:Luke 6:1–16Jeremiah 17:9Proverbs 4:23Proverbs 14:30Take time this week to honestly ask: who is leading my life? Invite Jesus to search your heart and surrender every area to Him.
