When you think of St. Patrick, what comes to mind—green beer, shamrocks, and leprechauns? The real story of Patrick of Ireland is far more powerful and inspiring. In this special bonus episode, Pastor Jeff steps away from our denominational series to share the true history of St. Patrick, the man who brought Christianity to Ireland and left a lasting legacy of faith.Here's What We Discussed:01:35 – The Origins of St. Patrick's Day Each year, millions gather to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, often unaware of the man behind the holiday. From Savannah's large-scale parade to Chicago's tradition of dyeing the river green, the day is widely recognized, yet few know the historical and spiritual significance.03:18 – St. Patrick Wasn't IrishBorn around 373 AD, likely in Britain or possibly near Glasgow, Scotland, Patrick was not Irish. Captured by pirates at age 16, he was sold into slavery to an Irish chieftain, where he spent years tending sheep and witnessing the brutal pagan culture of the time.05:55 – A Spiritual Awakening in CaptivityDuring six years of enslavement, Patrick experienced a profound spiritual transformation. Through prayer and suffering, his faith deepened, leading him to eventually commit his life to Christ. His own writings record how adversity brought him to his knees before God.08:52 – Escape and the Call to ReturnAfter escaping captivity, Patrick found refuge in France, where he entered a monastery and took the Latin name "Patricus." Years later, he experienced a divine call to return to Ireland—not as a captive, but as a missionary to the very people who had enslaved him.10:36 – A Missionary to IrelandPatrick spent nearly 29 years preaching the gospel across Ireland. Fluent in the Irish language, he baptized over 120,000 people and established more than 300 churches, leading a spiritual transformation that turned a pagan nation toward Christianity.11:55 – Legends: Snakes and ShamrocksAmong the legends surrounding St. Patrick is the claim that he drove all the snakes out of Ireland—though this is likely symbolic, representing his battle against paganism. Another enduring story tells of Patrick using a three-leaf clover to explain the Christian doctrine of the Trinity to a skeptical king.13:12 – St. Patrick's Breastplate PrayerBefore facing his enemies, Patrick prayed for divine protection. His prayer, known as “St. Patrick's Breastplate,” remains a powerful expression of faith, invoking Christ's presence in every aspect of life—from the moment of rising to every encounter with others.We love your feedback!

For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation— if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.

Episode 14 features Chris and our brand new foster babe! We became a family of 7 again this week, and on the episode we talk about what week 1 looks like if you are interested in fostering babies. Basically, you need to go to the doctor for a check up, get a newborn screen done during days 5-10, and hopefully head to your nearest WIC office so you can go get some formula. I was SO prepared for this placement - I had a can of unopened formula, bottles, clothes (from Wesley!), and leftover diapers from my previous placement. This was the most ready we have ever been. Apparently 5th time's a charm... In this episode, we also discuss: our automatic vacuum cleaner: the Deebot. His name is also Dusty Bottoms, which we talk about at length. Sorry about that. But not sorry that I barely have to sweep anymore! WIC - Find the office nearest you. If you are in the East Valley, I LOVE the Chandler Care Center. Don't forget to bring your Notice to Provider, and your baby/foster babe, and they will issue you a debit card that has your food allowance for up to 3 months. This is how we get free formula for our foster babies. Example of foster care subsides in Georgia. Helen's Hope Chest, Jose's Closet, and several other organizations that seek to supply clothes and other supplies for children in foster care. These are great organizations to donate to, instead of Goodwill. Arizona Empowerment Scholarship, as well as other scholarship programs allowing reduced or free tuition to private schools. Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation is a great resource that will help foster kids go to Disneyland for free! Check out their website for lots of info for foster families (Good) Word of the Day: "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms." 1 Peter 4:10 Let's all do what we are talented, and gifted in, and called to do, and the more we do this, the better, anymore beautiful our world will be!
Do you ever struggle with the right words to say? Someone tells you what they are up to, and this is not an invitation for you to tell them all the reasons you aren't doing the same thing. Try this on for size: "Wow. That's cool." For example, someone tells you that they are going to buy a new truck. Instead of telling them why you think that a bad idea, financially and environmentally, why don't you just say: "Wow. That's cool." The reason I am talking about this today, is because as a foster parent, I hear something that drives me, and other foster parents, crazy. It goes a little something like this: Me: "Oh yeah, I am a foster parent." Others: "Wow. I could never do that. I would get too attached." Me: Swallowing my feelings of confusion/annoyance/hurt. So today, we are all - and I am included in this, going to learn to respond with: "Wow. That's cool." Advice for future foster parents and all humans: If you have said this to a foster parent before - do not feel bad or ashamed! I have personally heard this over 100 times. From family members, to friends, to waitresses, to people at the park. Sometimes we don't mean what we say, and sometimes people hear something that our words did not intend. But I am telling everyone - we still need to stop saying this. If you are about to become a foster parent - gird your loins. You Will Hear This. A lot. So prepare yourself now, and decide how you will respond. I used to feel so bad when people would say this to me. But I'm 4 years in, and used to the comment. I can now shake it off because Taylor told me to do so. I hope you will be able to do the same. In today's episode, I mention: Michael J Fox's book: Always Looking Up: Adventures of an Incurable Optimist. He says that it's "not all about protection, but perspective." And he talks about the beauty of Risk and Opportunity. I look at fostering like a great opportunity that certainly involves risk. And strangely enough, some of the risks involve not liking, or connecting with the child that comes into your home. We need to stop worrying about how to protect ourselves so much and shift our perspective on how we can help others, even if it's hard. This doesn't look like fostering or adopting for everyone. It's not what Michael talks about in his book at all. But what is something you might need to change your perspective on? There will probably be some risk, and some need to part with some of your time and/or resources, but the opportunities that await you, and the person you are going to help, are great. I also randomly mention a marketing book I am reading by Donald Miller called Building a StoryBrand. The gist of this book is that successful companies need to position themselves as a Guide to help a Hero (their customers) through their story. This is the basis of all great movies and books you have ever encountered. When I first started to foster, I made myself the hero of that period of my life. It didn't go well. I now realize that when I position myself as the guide, helping these little heroes through their stories, everyone wins. This is true in business, movies, and everyday life, whether you foster or not. I also mentioned my friend Hanna, who is a plant-based nutritionist, who makes Cashew Queso. I don't think she delivers, but you can still check her out on Facebook. I also want to take this opportunity to make peace with my listeners who are Cat People, Vegans, Exercise Freaks. I love you all equally and I admire you for all that you do. Sorry if I offended you in this episode, or at any other point in our relationship. I too am learning to respond with: "Wow. That's cool." Today's (Good) Word of the Day: "Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else," Galatians 6:4 Let's remember that the choices that others make are not a reflection on who we are, or the choices we make. Let's be confident in what we are doing, and how we are living, that we can simply celebrate what others are doing. Empowered people empower people!
