At just 5 years old, A Relentless Buzz is already the kind of head horse Trevor Brazile can back into the box on without much to manage—and that maturity helped carry the gray to the 6-&-Under Heading win at the Texas Best Futurity in Decatur, Texas.On this episode of The Short Score, Brazile breaks down what makes A Relentless Buzz so solid, from the box and plenty of run to the smooth way the big horse handles himself. The gelding has become one Brazile takes to the jackpots, too, because there simply is not much about him that is easy to fault.Brazile also talks through why the lighter cattle and setup at the Texas Best Futurity offered a valuable test ahead of the bigger fall shows. For young horses, he said, every trip to town is another chance to add pressure, see where anxiety may show up and make sure they are ready for the rest of the year.___This episode is brought to you by Cactus Saddlery.

Testosterone for women is everywhere right now. From social media and Facebook groups to conversations between friends, women are hearing that testosterone may be the missing piece for everything from low libido and fatigue to brain fog, muscle loss, and motivation.But what does the evidence actually tell us?In this episode of Midlife Revival, Dr. T answers five of the most common questions she hears about testosterone and menopause in her clinical practice.She breaks down what testosterone actually does in the female body, when testosterone therapy may be helpful, why a “low” testosterone level doesn't automatically mean you need treatment, and what women should know about dosing, monitoring, side effects, and long-term safety.The five questions Dr. T answers:What is testosterone, and what role does it play in women's health?What symptoms does testosterone actually help?If my testosterone level is low, does that mean I need testosterone?If I try testosterone, what's the safest way to use it—and what should I expect?What do we know (and not know) about the long-term use of testosterone in women?Along the way, Dr. T discusses testosterone for low sexual desire, the difference between physiologic and supraphysiologic dosing, topical testosterone vs. injections and pellets, potential side effects, and why she believes treatment should focus on the woman—not simply a lab value.The takeaway? Testosterone is a legitimate treatment, but that doesn't mean it's the answer for every midlife symptom or the right choice for every woman.Instead of asking, “Should I be taking testosterone?” Dr. T encourages women to start with a different question:“What are we trying to treat—and does testosterone make sense for me?”If you're in Metro Atlanta and want to have a personalized conversation about hormone therapy, testosterone, or your menopause care, schedule a consultation with Dr. T at Revival Women's Health.Follow Dr Taniqua Miller on Instagram @taniquamillermd and Revival Women's Health @joinrevival.Georgia listeners!

Not By Might: A Study in the Minor Prophets In Zechariah 4, God gives His people a powerful picture of a lamp that no longer depends on constant human effort—the oil flows continually. When God calls us to rebuild, persevere, and finish what we started, success does not come through our strength or ability, but through His Spirit. “Not By Might” is an invitation to become a conduit for what only God can produce and to make “I will finish what I started” both a courageous decision and a dependent prayer.

In this episode, I speak with Celine Saulnier, PhD, a clinical psychologist and co-author of the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Third Edition, about the evolving science and clinical practice of autism assessment and diagnosis. Celine shares her path from training with M-CHAT developer Deborah Fein, to nearly a decade at the Yale Child Study Center, to directing clinical research at Emory University and the Marcus Autism Center, and finally to founding her own practice. We discuss the two hallmark domains of autism, social communication differences and restricted or repetitive behaviors, and why no single measure can capture the conditions variability across verbal ability, cognitive functioning, and presentation. She describes groundbreaking eye-tracking research showing that divergence from typical social attention emerges as early as six months of age, and research has led to FDA approval of a diagnostic technology called EarliPoint to identify autism in child from this young age up to eight years old. We also discuss the genetics of autism in children, including recurrence risk for siblings and the concept of the “broader autism phenotype,” where family members show subthreshold traits (or shadow traits) that still warrant support. We discussed aspects of autism, including theory of mind, sensory processing differences, and repetitive behaviors, as well as the chronic anxiety, dysregulation, and burnout that can result from navigating a world not built for neurodivergent processing. Celine distinguishes between camouflaging and masking, and discusses how these coping strategies, while adaptive in the short term sense, can be associated with poor mental health outcomes over time. Finally, we explore the range of interventions available across the lifespan, from parent coaching and skill building in early childhood to social skills groups, executive functioning coaching, and life coaching in adulthood. Celine Saulnier, Ph.D., obtained her doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Connecticut, after which she completed a postdoctoral fellowship and then joined the faculty at the Yale Child Study Center, Yale University School of Medicine. At Yale, Celine worked closely with Drs. Sara Sparrow and Domenic Cicchetti investigating adaptive behavior profiles in Autism Spectrum Disorders. She became the Training Director and then Clinical Director for the Yale Autism Program, specializing in diagnostic evaluations of individuals with autism and related disorders across the lifespan. In 2011, she relocated to Emory University School of Medicine and the Marcus Autism Center to help develop and direct a large-scale clinical research program. In 2018, she opened her own diagnostic clinic and consulting company, Neurodevelopmental Assessment & Consulting Services (www.nacsatl.com) in Decatur, GA. Celine remains an Adjunct Associate Professor at Emory University, and she conducts national and international trainings to professionals on autism and related disorders. For her teaching, she was awarded the New England Educational Institute Outstanding Educator Award for Mental Health Education. Celine is on the editorial board for the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, the Scientific Advisory Board of the Autism Science Foundation, and an Emeritus member of the Atlanta Autism Consortium's Board of Directors. In addition to co-authoring the Vineland-3, Celine has published numerous articles in peer-reviewed journals, and she has written two books, Essentials of Autism Spectrum Disorders Evaluation and Assessment and Essentials of Adaptive Behavior Assessment of Neurodevelopmental Disorders.

Jesus teaches that a divided kingdom cannot stand, warns against attributing God's work to Satan, and emphasizes that those who do God's will are his true family.

Travels With Randy Route 66 In The Fall of '26 Episode 4 is here! Starting At The Beginning - Navy Pier Down To Springfield Route 66 Travel Updates Randy discussed his ongoing Route 66 travel project, sharing updates about new attractions he's discovered including murals in Pontiac created by the Wall Dogs group and a new mural square nearly complete. He mentioned that the calendar is now being sold in four locations including Pontiac, Odell, Bloomington, and Gardner. Randy also highlighted a unique Coca-Cola memorabilia collection in Gardner that he visited, noting it contains extensive items in a small space. Chicago Trip and Family Stories Randy shared his experience driving a van to Chicago, describing parking challenges and his solution of finding an open-air parking lot that cost $70 for overnight parking. He explained how he used Chicago's public transit system for $5 per day to explore the city, including visiting Navy Pier and attending a Cubs game. Randy also revealed that his grandfather had worked as an elevator operator at the Wrigley Building while studying for the ministry, and according to family lore, Mr. Wrigley gave him a lifetime pass to Cubs games. Route 66 Evolution Discussion Randy and Bubba discussed the historical evolution of Route 66, including changes to its starting and ending points over the decades and the recent addition of Navy Pier. They explored how the route's purpose shifted from being the primary transportation highway to becoming a nostalgic travel experience, with many towns benefiting from increased tourism. Randy mentioned a bill currently in committee that would make Route 66 a national trail, which would provide benefits similar to what happened when Indiana Dunes became a national park, potentially increasing visitors significantly. Route 66 Illinois Highlights Discussion Randy and Bubba discussed Route 66, focusing on its history and key attractions in Illinois. Randy recommended starting in Kansas or Illinois and suggested exploring one state at a time rather than the entire route. They highlighted notable stops including the American Giants museum in Atlanta, Carl's Ice Cream in Bloomington, and the Gemini Giant in Wilmington. Randy shared insights about the route's evolution, noting that early alignments were more natural and winding than the later, more efficient routes, and mentioned that some sections now require four-wheel drive due to changes over the decades. Route 66 Travel Stories Randy shared stories about his travels along Route 66, including visiting an automotive upholstery company in Berwyn that has operated for 100 years and exploring Joliet and Romeoville. Bubba shared his experience of living in Joliet for a couple of years with his wife Lynn, who also worked for CBS in downtown Chicago, though they later moved to Charlotte due to the challenging two-hour commute. Randy also discussed his visit to the Rialto Square theater in Joliet, which was built around the same time as Route 66 and is currently undergoing HVAC construction. Route 66 Celebrations in Illinois Randy and Bubba discussed Route 66 celebrations in Illinois, noting that Chicago doesn't have citywide initiatives while the state is implementing benches and painted cars in locations like Pontiac. They shared experiences about living in Illinois, with Bubba mentioning his childhood in Decatur and Randy commenting on the cultural divide between Chicago and the rest of the state. Randy announced plans to visit St. Louis the following day to begin the Missouri portion of his Route 66 journey, including a scheduled Anheuser-Busch brewery tour for his birthday. Route 66 Photography and Calendar Randy and Bubba discussed the standardized appearance of alien figurines in pop culture, which Bubba attributed to their origins in 1930s-40s comics featuring "Grays" with large heads and eyes. Randy shared an incident where AI incorrectly replaced people with a flower bed in one of his photos, leading to an embarrassing social media mistake. They discussed Randy's upcoming Route 66 photography trip, including plans to visit Missouri and reach Seligman on the 11th, where he will meet Angel who is 99 years old. The conversation concluded with updates about their popular Route 66 calendar, which is selling well with 39,000 followers and 100% 5-star reviews, though they noted it will be a limited edition and likely sold out by mid-October.   SO.

Guys, we are BACK at the bar and this week there is A LOT going on in the world of bass fishing.

What if the problem isn't that you need to try harder?In this episode, Dr. T talks honestly about the mental load women carry in midlife and the pressure to constantly “optimize” our health. From strength training and protein to supplements, sleep, stress, and hormones, the list of things women are told to do can start to feel like one more impossible standard.After a 5:15 a.m. workout and walking back into the very real chaos of family life, Dr. T reflects on what so many women are experiencing: work, caregiving, parenting, relationships, changing bodies, and the invisible cognitive load that follows us everywhere.This episode is a reminder that midlife is not a problem to outsmart. It is a transition to understand, support, and move through with honesty and grace.In this episode, Dr. T explores:Why good health advice can still become overwhelmingThe invisible mental load many women carry in midlifeWhy fatigue is not always a problem to “fix” with another supplementThe pressure to optimize every part of our bodies and routinesHow perimenopause and menopause intersect with real lifeWhy sustainable care starts with understanding a woman's actual capacityWhat it means to focus on what matters most in this seasonThe takeaway: You do not have to ace midlife. You do not have to perfectly execute every wellness recommendation. Your health matters, but so does the context of your life.Sometimes the most important thing a clinician can say is: I see you. Let's figure out what is realistic for you right now.Midlife is a transition, not a test.Follow Dr Taniqua Miller on Instagram @taniquamillermd and Revival Women's Health @joinrevival.Georgia listeners!

Got Grit This week, Pastor Mark looks at the persistent faith found in Matthew 15 and challenges us to become people who refuse to give up in prayer. When the answer doesn't come immediately, faith keeps pressing in. Rather than allowing silence, disappointment, or delay to cause us to quit, we can dig deep, trust the heart of Jesus, and continue praying with perseverance. Sometimes faith looks like having the grit to keep asking, keep believing, and keep pursuing Jesus. ABOUT US Welcome to Life Foursquare Church in Decatur, Illinois!

As Lord of the Sabbath, Jesus shows that God’s law brings life and good, not burden and harm.

This is the September 6th Sunday sermon from the First United Methodist Church in Decatur, Texas. This sermon is drawn from Philippians 2:12-18.

What if the “midlife crisis” isn't a crisis at all—but an invitation to pay attention?Recorded live at Revival Women's Health during the Midlife at a Crossroads event, this episode brings together Dr. Taniqua Miller and burnout and life coach,, Christine Lloyd-Newberry for an honest conversation about the transition so many women experience in midlife.Yes, our bodies are changing. Sleep may be different. Stress may hit differently. Perimenopause and menopause may bring symptoms we weren't prepared for. But underneath those changes, many women are also asking deeper questions:Who am I now? What do I actually want? And what do I want the next chapter of my life to look like?Together, Dr. Miller and Christine explore the losses women often carry without acknowledging them, the roles and expectations we may finally be ready to release, and the ways our lives can quietly become smaller through years of reasonable “no's,” deferred desires, and taking care of everyone else.But midlife can also be an opening.In this episode, you'll hear reflections and exercises from the live event designed to help you consider:What has changed that you haven't fully acknowledged?What are you relieved to finally be done with?What do you want that you've been afraid to say out loud?Where have you made yourself smaller to accommodate everyone else?What would it look like to choose something simply because you want it?What wisdom have you earned that another woman may need to hear?And perhaps the most powerful reminder of the evening: you are not meant to disappear as you get older. You have lived, learned, survived, changed—and accumulated wisdom along the way.Midlife isn't necessarily about getting back to the woman you used to be.It may be about discovering the woman you've become.Follow Dr Taniqua Miller on Instagram @taniquamillermd and Revival Women's Health @joinrevival.Georgia listeners!

Just when you thought Vin Diesel's greatest contribution to emotional storytelling involved family, fast cars, and staring intensely into the middle distance, he goes and surprises everybody with a heartfelt tribute to Dolly Parton.Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show, the funny podcast where we apparently begin with Vin Diesel singing “I Will Always Love You” and somehow get MORE unpredictable from there.The crew tries to identify the mystery celebrity behind the surprisingly vulnerable performance before learning it's Vin Diesel—and, against all reasonable expectations, everybody is impressed. His deep voice and emotional delivery lead to the obvious conclusion that somebody should probably get this man “Ol' Man River” immediately.Then comes another Dolly Parton connection we absolutely did not have on the bingo card: Keanu Reeves.Keanu's mother, Patricia Taylor, worked as a costume designer for Dolly, including creating the famous black bunny outfit Dolly wore for her 1978 Playboy cover. That outfit eventually made its way into the Reeves household, where teenage Keanu reportedly wore it for Halloween—bunny ears, bustier, fishnets, bow tie, sneakers and all. Somehow, this only strengthens the crew's argument that Keanu Reeves may be next in line for the title of universally beloved celebrity.From there, Crap on Celebrities gets moving with Miley Cyrus seemingly entering her one-name era, discussion surrounding Kelly Osbourne and public speculation about her appearance, and Bad Wolves releasing their metal version of “Jolene.” The crew also gets into the Sphere making The Wizard of Oz even more ridiculous, chart talk, Lionel Richie's health scare following his St. Louis performance, ZZ Top continuing forward, Kelly Clarkson wrapping her talk show, Jamie Pressley's reported hotel drama, and Mel Gibson apologizing after an awkward moment involving a sign-language interpreter.You know. Normal morning activities.Then Chad Gray joins the show ahead of his 30 Years of Madness stop at Delmar Hall, and the conversation turns into a trip through three decades of heavy music.Chad talks about building a set from roughly 12 albums of material across Mudvayne and HELLYEAH, including deep cuts that force him to keep lyric sheets nearby because apparently even the guy who wrote the songs occasionally needs the musical equivalent of checking his notes.He explains how he's kept his voice intact after decades of screaming and singing, what he learned from vocal coach Melissa Cross, and how his approach has evolved from essentially hitting every note “like a linebacker” to using more technique and finesse.The conversation gets deeper as Chad remembers being an outcast kid in Illinois and discovering heavy metal as both an identity and a tribe. That eventually leads into the incredible story of how HELLYEAH came together and Chad's first nerve-racking phone call with Vinnie Paul. Chad remembers going to Texas, entering the studio connected to Dimebag Darrell, and seeing firsthand how emotional returning to music was for Vinnie.Playing those HELLYEAH songs today remains emotional for Chad because, as he explains, performing them is one way of keeping Vinnie's memory alive.Chad also opens up about reaching five years of sobriety and how dramatically his life has changed. Rafe shares his own experience with 15 years without drinking, giving this funny podcast one of those rare moments where everybody stops roasting each other long enough to have an unexpectedly meaningful conversation.Don't worry. It doesn't become responsible for too long.The crew and Chad also revisit Mudvayne's unforgettable early-2000s rise, including their MTV appearance, winning the inaugural MTV2 award, meeting major stars backstage, and the absolutely stacked Ozzfest era. Chad reflects on what Ozzy Osbourne did for generations of metal bands by putting younger artists in front of enormous audiences and helping create opportunities that changed careers.There's talk of Peoria, Decatur, Illinois metal culture, touring, Mudvayne's future, Chad's current band, the legacy of HELLYEAH, and why sitting around waiting for something to happen simply isn't in his DNA.So yes, this episode begins with Vin Diesel singing Dolly Parton and eventually arrives at Vinnie Paul, Ozzfest, sobriety, Mudvayne history and Keanu Reeves wearing fishnets.We'd explain how those things belong together, but that would suggest this show has a plan.It does not.That's why you listen to this funny podcast in the first place.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode Summary Most PR wins are hard to see in real time. The brand building, the reputation work, the slow accumulation of coverage that eventually shifts how a client is perceived.  Those results are often invisible until long after the campaign ends. Mitch Leff's World Cup campaign for the city of Decatur, Georgia was the opposite. The goal was clear: get people to the square. The measure of success was visible from day one. And by the time the Indigo Girls closed out the 34-day Watch Fest on the last night of the tournament, Mitch and his partner Kim Speece had delivered 170,000 attendees, daily media coverage for every single day of the World Cup, international press from Japan's Asahi Shimbun, features in Southern Living and Garden & Gun, and the best sales month in 29 years for one of Decatur's most beloved bars. Even more amazing, they did as two independent practitioners. There was no junior staff, no agency overhead, just decades of experience, meticulous timing, and a daily 8:30 pm video blast to TV stations so that the morning shows always had something to run. In this episode, Mitch joins Karen and Michelle to walk through how the campaign came together, how they set expectations without a baseline, how they managed story angles that didn't pan out, and what it means for the case that independent practitioners can do what large agencies do and do it with excellence.   Episode Highlights [01:48] Saying Yes Without a Budget, Scope, or Timeline: Mitch's colleague Jen Johns called in the fall of 2024 with an idea for 34 days of World Cup programming in Decatur's newly renovated town square. No budget confirmed, no scope locked, no clear timeline beyond 'the World Cup is happening.' Mitch said yes anyway, drawn by the scale of what it could be and the relationship with Jen, who he'd worked with through years of sports-adjacent clients. His first proposal didn't even have a budget number in it. The plan and the funding came together in the months that followed. [04:00] Working Backwards from the Event: How to Build a 14-Month PR Timeline: Mitch and his colleague, Kim Speece sat down in spring 2025 and mapped the entire campaign backwards from the final night of the World Cup. Every announcement got its own milestone: the overall program launch, three separate band announcements for the headline acts, a cluster announcement for the smaller supporting performances, and a commissioned economic impact study from a professor at Emory's Goizueta Business School scoped specifically for Decatur. Each milestone had a deadline, and every deadline was worked backwards from the one that followed it. [06:10] When a Story Angle Doesn't Pan Out — and When Something Better Shows Up: Mitch had planned for the volunteer story as a strong visual element: hundreds of community volunteers being trained and deployed, a natural human-interest thread. It didn't work as well as expected as the training sessions were smaller and less visually compelling than he'd imagined. At the same time, an unplanned opportunity arrived on a Sunday morning: a founder of REM posted that he'd be sitting in with Drivin N Cryin at the Watch Fest the following evening. Mitch had an updated media advisory out that Sunday afternoon. The lesson he draws: you plan the story angles you know, you stay close enough to what's actually happening to catch the ones you didn't. [08:39] Turning a Crisis Risk Into a Proactive Story: Heat was on every event organizer's mind during the 2026 summer. When Atlanta media began running stories about fans passing out at Centennial Olympic Park, Mitch had a different story ready: everything Decatur had done to prepare. Misting stations. Shade coverage. Water stations. Paramedics and fire department staff on site, including the fire chief. He pitched the preparedness angle, booked the interviews, and turned a potential crisis narrative into a positive feature about a city that had planned ahead. [13:56] Setting Expectations and Baselines When You're Starting from Zero: The newly renovated Decatur Square had never hosted an event of this size. The fire department estimated a capacity of around 5,500 people. That became the planning number. For media expectations, Mitch told the client they should expect three of Atlanta's four TV stations at the launch press conference, plus the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and local radio. They got all four stations, an advance story in the AJC, significant radio coverage, and international press. Once it became clear that Decatur had a more organized and sustained program than any other city in the region, Mitch revised his projections upward, telling the client they'd get more coverage than originally planned, because the program itself had earned it. [16:00] Building Media Relationships Six Months Before You Need Them: One of Mitch's core principles for event PR: never let a reporter first hear about the event when the event is happening. Every journalist who might want to cover the Watch Fest knew about it six months in advance. The outreach spanned local, statewide, regional, national, sports, and travel media. The Chamber of Commerce, the Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Mayor's office, and elected officials were all on every distribution list, because they were fielding calls from other media and amplifying the reach. By the time the World Cup started, the reporters already knew. Mitch's job in the final weeks was to give them content, not context. [18:00] The Daily Blast That Made Morning Shows Easy to Say Yes To: Two weeks before the World Cup, Mitch and Kim began sending a weekly 10-day look-ahead to media. Once the tournament started, they added a daily blast: a brief note about what happened that day and what was happening the next day, with video of that evening's concert shot and delivered to TV stations by 8:3 0pm. Not a press release. Not even a full media advisory. Just here is what happened, here is what is coming, here is usable video for your 11 pm show and your morning block. Morning producers came in at 2 am and found the clip at the top of their inbox. Channel 69, the CBS affiliate, ran a drone shot of the Decatur Square on most mornings of the World Cup. That daily cadence is what made Decatur reliable, and reliable is what keeps reporters coming back. [20:16] Owning the Last Weekend When No One Else Was Doing Anything: As the World Cup wound down, Mitch checked the schedule and noticed that the downtown Fan Fest ended July 15th and nothing else was happening in Atlanta on the 18th and 19th. He told the client: we can own that weekend. The city of Atlanta ultimately announced a Ludacris concert in Piedmont Park for one of those nights, but the concert ended at 6 pm. The Indigo Girls at Decatur didn't start until 8 pm. Mitch made sure reporters knew that Decatur would be the closing act. Decatur is how the World Cup ends. By the time the Indigo Girls took the stage, the narrative was exactly what he'd pitched it to be. [22:07] Two Independents, No Agency Overhead, One Full Campaign: Michelle raises what the episode is really about: two independent practitioners, no junior staff, no agency infrastructure, and they delivered a campaign that the client said far exceeded their expectations. Mitch explained that knowing when to send a release at 11:30 pm instead of 3 am because you understand how morning producers work, knowing which story angles have visual legs and which don't, and having relationships with reporters built before you need them was the key to success. The budget didn't require a third person, and the experience of two senior people meant the judgment was there from day one. They split the days, set up a workspace on the square for managing other clients, and absorbed the overrun in June and July because that's what the work required. [29:34] What Mitch Is Most Proud of, and What the Numbers Don't Capture: Karen asks the question that goes beyond the data. Mitch's answer circles back to the relationship: a city manager and mayor who were responsive every single day, a client who consistently said the results were beyond what they'd imagined, and a square that was packed night after night with people who'd never been to Decatur before and will come back. The Brickstore Pub's best day in 29 years. A reporter flying in from Tokyo's Asahi Shimbun specifically to cover how smaller cities benefit from World Cup hosting. A morning when Mitch could watch the CBS affiliate run a drone shot of a full Decatur square at 5 am and know that the video he'd sent the night before was the reason it was on the air. And the last 20 minutes of the Indigo Girls set, when Mitch and Kim let themselves feel what they'd built and then started wondering what was next.

What if your whole life could be mapped out in a single meal? In this Fantasy Restaurant warm-up, Martin builds a menu entirely out of memory - a dark and stormy from a Decatur bar, saline-injected wings from a long-gone college dive, a bacon-loaded salad from his family's Wisconsin cabin, and a milkshake that doubles as the backdrop for the day he quit a job. Along the way we get a mini tour of a life split between Indiana roots and Wisconsin summers, and a reminder that the best comfort food always comes with a story attached.Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more conversations that chase the story behind the person.Please show them some love on their socials here: https://www.mattressclarity.com/author/martencarlson/https://open.spotify.com/show/2SjwX9XW4VYQMAH3ZhBJAGFind more info at http://whyamipod.com/.If you want to support the podcast you can do so via https://www.patreon.com/whyamipod#WhyAmI #Podcast #MartinCarlson #FilmFanatic #MattressReviewer #PassionProjects #CreativeProcess

Jesus meets us at our deepest need, showing that faith can open the door to both forgiveness and healing.

When Jesus descends the mountain of His transfiguration, the nine disciples left below have failed to cast out a demon-possessed boy. After lamenting their lack of faith, Jesus heals the boy and encourages His disciples to have the faith of a mustard seed, that is, faith that grows in trust of His words. Despite Jesus' teaching, the disciples continue to have distress over His coming suffering, death, and resurrection. Nonetheless, as Jesus provides a remarkable catch to Peter, Jesus teaches that His coming death and resurrection do make all believers sons of His kingdom.  Rev. Matt Ulmer, pastor at Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church--Friedheim, just outside Decatur, IN, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Matthew 17:14-27. To learn more about Zion Evangelical, visit zionfriedheim.org. “The Reign of Heaven Stands Near” is a series on Sharper Iron that studies the Gospel according to St. Matthew. The first evangelist proclaims that God has fulfilled His Old Testament promises by sending Jesus to bring the reign of the heavens among us. As the Son of David, Jesus is the gracious King we need, and as the Son of Abraham, Jesus is the blessing to all the families of the earth.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Pastor Appel serves at Faith Lutheran Church in Godfrey, IL.

Jesus withdraws to pray and compassionately heals a man with leprosy, showing His authority, and compassion.

JOIN US as we discuss two cold cases that were eventually solved. RIP to William DaShawn Hamilton

Guest Speaker: Pastor Kelly Goins (Lead Pastor of Watts Bar Church, Decatur, TN) I. Worship & Opening Focus Access to the Throne: Reflecting on her recent visit to the White House and navigating Secret Service checkpoints, Pastor Rhonda reminded the congregation that entering God's presence requires no security clearance or documentation—only a hungry heart coming before the King of Kings. Altar Ministry Focus: Prayer teams ministered to individuals seeking physical healing, relief from crippling anxiety, and divine direction, declaring the authority of Jesus over every diagnosis and fear. II. Harvest Announcements & Outreach Queen for a Day (August 29): Registration capped at 300 participants after filling within four days. Sponsorship drive for outreach purses continues in the lobby, coordinated alongside Susan Vernon. Midweek Wednesday Series: We Are Harvest Beyond the Walls continues at 7:00 PM featuring Pastor Tyrone Johnson presenting on DEAC Ministries and its outreach to Cleveland's homeless community. Men's Topgolf Event: Scheduled for Tuesday, August 18, in Chattanooga. Men interested in attending were directed to connect with Pastor Todd. Sermon Outline: "It's Time to Grow Up" Preacher: Pastor Kelly Goins I. The Post-Salvation Discipleship Gap Beyond the Altar: Praying a prayer to receive salvation is not the pinnacle of the Christian walk—it is the starting line. A Christianity that promises heaven while permitting believers to live unchanged on Earth is foreign to the New Testament. Identity and Activity: Quoting evangelist Shane Pruitt, true gospel transformation changes both identity (who you are in Christ) and activity (what you do daily). II. Clarifying Maturity Rules Don't Mistake Stupidity for Immaturity: Behaviors understandable in a toddler (e.g., eating dirt) become reckless or illegal when carried out by an adult. Certain spiritual behaviors permissible for a brand-new convert become unacceptable for long-term believers. Don't Mistake Age for Spiritual Maturity: Physical age or years spent attending church services do not equate to spiritual depth. New believers pursuing Christ passionately often demonstrate greater spiritual maturity than lifelong churchgoers. Posture vs. Promise: Unanswered prayers are frequently not a promise problem from God, but a posture problem from believers who refuse to step into adult responsibility. III. Heirs vs. Slaves (Galatians 4:1-7) The Delayed Inheritance: An immature child legally owns their father's entire estate, yet functionally lives no differently than a servant until reaching the age set by the father. God's Patience vs. God's Blessing: God will give what He promised because you are His child, but He cannot entrust it to you as long as you insist on remaining a child. Many believers mistake living under God's long-suffering patience for living under His active blessing. Principles vs. Presence: Living merely by moral principles differs from learning to live daily in God's intimate presence and hearing His voice. IV. Adulting 101 in the Faith Own Your Choices: Mature believers stop blaming government systems, past relationships, or upbringing, taking direct responsibility for their actions. Own Your Relationships: Adults guard their circle of influence, recognizing that close companions shape their spiritual future. Own Your Spiritual Growth (Hebrews 5:12-14): Mature Christians stop relying on pastors or podcasts to hand-feed them like infants on milk. They open the Word for themselves, consume solid food, and train their discernment to distinguish good from evil. Scripture Index Galatians 4:1-7 > "Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all... God sent forth his Son... to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons." 1 Corinthians 13:11 > "When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things."   Hebrews 5:12-14 > "For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat."   Galatians 3:28 (Referenced) – There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Numbers 6:24-26 (Benediction) > "The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace."

Ever wish you could ask a menopause specialist all of your questions?In this special episode of Midlife Revival, Dr. Taniqua Miller shares a recording from one of her live Ask Me Anything webinars, where women who completed her Menopause Symptom Assessment had the opportunity to ask their most pressing questions about perimenopause, menopause, and hormone therapy.From unexpected weight gain and rising blood sugar to libido, itching, breast cancer risk, and the role of hormone therapy, this candid conversation tackles the questions so many women are asking—but often don't know where to turn for evidence-based answers.Dr. Miller explains not only what happens during the menopause transition, but why it happens, helping women better understand the physiologic changes occurring throughout the body and the treatment options available.In This Episode You'll Learn:Why menopause is much more than the end of your menstrual cycleThe real reasons weight changes during perimenopause and menopauseHow estrogen, insulin, and cortisol work together to influence metabolismWhether hormone therapy can help with blood sugar and insulin resistanceWhen it's "too early" (or not) to consider hormone therapyHow family history of breast cancer affects hormone therapy decisionsWhat every woman should know about vaginal estrogenWhy libido changes in midlife—and what can actually helpThe role of testosterone for women and what the research really saysWhy personalized menopause care matters more than one-size-fits-all adviceKey TakeawayMenopause is a whole-body transition—not simply a hormonal event. While hormone therapy can be an incredibly effective tool for many women, the best approach is individualized, evidence-based, and centered around your symptoms, your health history, and your goals.You don't have to simply "push through" this season. There are options, and you deserve care that helps you thrive—not just survive.Follow Dr Taniqua Miller on Instagram @taniquamillermd and Revival Women's Health @joinrevival.Georgia listeners!

In this special 9-week series, listeners will hear from three different groups—GenX paired with Millennials, Gen Z, and Boomers with a mix of the Silent Generation. Their conversations cover a variety of topics including technology, unity in the Church, racism, and parenting. Grouped by similar ages, these 12 individuals share their unique views, opinions, and convictions based on their generational upbringing and views of the world. Ranging from ages 16 to 81, we're covering 5 different generations with 16 different guests.In this episode, Boomers and Silent Generation group share their views on parenting, spanking, the necessity of a college education, what motivates them to determine a career, and whether our society has an unhealthy disposition toward safety. Our guests also have a little fun with music—can they identify the artists of popular songs from the other generations? Susan ChapmanSusan Chapman has been a part of Seacoast's Mount Pleasant Campus for ten years, where she and her husband Roy serve as table leaders at Next Steps and volunteer in the bookstore. Susan's passion is intercessory prayer — a calling that has shaped much of her life and the lives of those around her. Susan was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, where she met Roy in high school. They married in 1965 and have built a rich life together over the past 60 years, rooted in faith, family, and friendship. They have two children — a son and a daughter — and warmly claim their son-in-law Joey as their own. Their two grandchildren are a delight: their grandson recently graduated from North Greenville University, and their granddaughter just graduated from middle school. It was in Decatur, Georgia, in the early 1970s that Susan's spiritual journey began to take deep root. Her time in Bible study and God's word brought about changes that were visible to everyone around her — including Roy, who began searching for what was behind them. Looking back, Susan can clearly see God's hand at work throughout her life. In 1977, the family relocated to the Philadelphia area, and once again God's provision was evident. Susan found a wonderful community of people there who remain among her closest and dearest friends to this day. After 28 years, she and Roy moved to Summerville in 2005, where they have been putting down roots ever since. One of Susan's great joys at Next Steps has been discovering just how small the world really is — the unexpected connections, the familiar faces from years past, the strangers who turn out to be anything but. She also treasures staying in touch with lifelong friends now scattered across seven states. In her free time, Susan enjoys reading, jigsaw puzzles, and time with family and friends. She and Roy are devoted University of Georgia football fans, and one of their favorite traditions is spending time at Litchfield Beach, a place they have returned to for over 50 years. When it comes to food, Susan's Southern spread says everything you need to know about her: summer squash, butter beans, tomatoes, iced tea, and optional fried chicken. She still remembers when her aunt's phone number was simply 2524 — before area codes existed — and when ten rolls of toilet paper cost a dollar. Susan Chapman is someone who remembers where she came from, holds tightly to the people she loves, and keeps showing up — in prayer, in service, and in life.Brian LewisBrian Lewis has been a pastor at Seacoast's Mount Pleasant campus for 11 years, leading Men's Ministry and Seniors Ministry. He has been married to Andrea for 32 years and has one daughter, Addison. Born, raised, and educated in Atlanta, Georgia — a Georgia Tech graduate — Brian is the youngest of five children, two of whom are now with the Lord. He has been part of the Seacoast family for 21 years.In his free time, Brian enjoys cooking, DIY projects, golf, travel, and music. Andrea describes him as a renaissance man — curious about everything and a true dabbler. He has visited 42 states and 6 continents, attended both Obama inaugurations with his family, and made seven trips to Kenya for global missions, with one trip to Honduras as well. Brian loves a good argument or debate, as long as it doesn't get too emotional, and will happily argue either side of an interesting topic.Joe RiddellJoe has been a part of the Seacoast family for 25 years. Lived in Charleston his whole life and a general contractor for 37 years.  Married to Carol for 29 years, he has two kids ages 34 and 27 and two grandkids almost four and almost two. In his own words, he's Just a guy who loves Jesus, loves his family and loves his church. Sandy StaffordSandy Stafford is a retired art teacher who spent 40 years at James Island Charter High School before retiring in 2020. She has two grown sons and a thirteen-year-old granddaughter, and became a member of Seacoast at the James Island campus. In her free time, Sandy enjoys traveling, nature walks, and all types of art-making. She has a particular passion for researching and visiting southern "Chapels of Ease," photographing these historic sites as references for her drawings and paintings. Sandy is also deeply drawn to the American Southwest — especially New Mexico — where she loves traveling less-known highways to visit Southwest Mission Churches. She hopes to walk a pilgrimage next Easter to Santuario de Chimayo along the "High Road" from Taos to Santa Fe.Seacoast Podcast is now on InstagramBe a Patron of the podcast We have a YouTube Channel for videos of all episodes since Jan. 2024. We'd love to hear from you.  E-mail Joey HERE. Producer/Editor/host: Joey SvendsenSound Engineer/Editor: Katelyn Vandiver

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the Counter-Racist Weekly Review 07/25/26. This broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth and neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS This week, we analyze the global distribution of resource extraction, judicial shielding of white killers, and institutionalized state violence: The Geopolitics of Resource Extraction: We dissect the strategic maneuvers surrounding the massive $25 billion Nigeria-Morocco Gas Pipeline project designed to power West Africa. We look at BBC World Service reports tracking the economic and infrastructural warfare dictating energy grids across the African continent, contrasting this with international developments where Spain shattered Argentina's World Cup dreams. We apply counter-racist logic to show how global white power interests control and redirect indigenous non-white wealth. Judicial Shielding & State-Sanctioned Execution: We investigate the rapid legal protections afforded to white youth killers as Colt Gray enters a guilty plea following state school violence. We contrast this systemic buffering with horrific reports of a 78-year-old Decatur female who overdosed on fentanyl following an alleged police blunder, alongside breaking cases where Baltimore police investigate an active "hate crime" in Fells Point. We expose how the courts work concurrently with enforcement wings to shield White Supremacist perpetrators while leaving black victims entirely unprotected. The Industry of Clemency & Corporate Surveillance Grids: We decode the growing industry of presidential pardons where massive bribes—including $600 for a presidential pardon—are weaponized within the federal clemency complex. We couple this with local news reports tracking a municipal deputy sheriff accused of systemic corruption in Bucks County, exposing how legal and administrative offices are engineered together to commodify justice while weaponizing municipal resources against non-white autonomy. The Erasure of Black Historical Reality: We break down the absolute peak of state hypocrisy out of Illinois where Governor JB Pritzker signs a law officially designating July 25 as Emmett Till Day. We analyze this symbolic political performance alongside breaking Madison, Wisconsin reports where a black male was shot and killed by police, sparking intense community protests and forcing Corey Ruiz's family to make public calls for basic justice. We deconstruct how The System uses hollow holidays and cosmetic benefits to distract the collective from ongoing state executions on the concrete. #EndStageWhiteSupremacy #TheCOWS17Years #CounterRacism #MediaLiteracy #EmmettTillDay #ColtGray #DanielErving #NolanWells INVEST in The COWS!

In August 1994, Sherry Lewis was showing a vacant home in Decatur, Illinois before attending the town's summer celebration festival. When she didn't show up, her family was concerned. Then, Sherry was found dead in the home she was supposed to be showing. To this day, her case remains unsolved. Three years later, two states away in Pennsylvania, Charlotte Fimiano had an appointment to show a home in Bethlehem. She never returned home, and the next day, she was found murdered. Her case also remains unsolved with no suspects and no motive. While the cases are unrelated, it is a reminder that this could happen to those showing houses. Sherry and Charlotte deserve justice and their family deserves answers. Anyone with information regarding Sherry Lewis's murder can contact the Illinois State Police at (815) 844-1500, the Macon County Sheriff's Office at (217) 424-1337 or Crimestoppers at 1-866-371-TIPS(8477). Anyone with information regarding Charlotte Fimiano's case can contact the Pennsylvania State Police Bethlehem at 610-861-2026.
