In John 17, we get a unique glimpse into Jesus' prayer to the Father just hours before the cross, and remarkably, He's praying for us. Toran's message explores the deep love of Christ, the unity He desires for His followers, and the invitation to know God personally through Him. As we experience God's love, we're transformed and called to reflect that same love to others. Jesus' prayer reminds us that even in His darkest hour, He had us on His heart.---Join us for service online or in-person in Grand Rapids every Sunday at 9AM & 10:45AM.Decided to follow Jesus?

This episode, we’re talking with Jessica and Giselle, a local lesbian couple who shares their insights on what it’s like to be part of the LGBTQ+ community Amy: Welcome to Fostering Conversations. I’m your host, Amy Smith. Today we have Jessica and Giselle who are licensed Utah foster care parents, and we are excited to have them. Thanks for being with us today. Jessica: Thank you. We’re excited to be here. Amy: It’s June, it’s Pride Month, and you are a local L-G-B-T-Q family, and we are excited to get your perspective on what that is like. So tell us a little bit about what got you into fostering. Just give us [00:01:00] a little bit of background so our listeners kind of know who they’re listening to. Jessica: Yeah, I’m Jessica, my wife Giselle is right here with me. We have always wanted a family. We’ve been together almost six years and we just, we always knew that we wanted kids eventually. As you do know, there are lots of ways for LGBTQ plus families to start a family, And we started really looking into all the options. We looked into adoption, we looked into IVF, we did look into foster care a little bit initially and. We kind of were thinking it was gonna go a different route. We actually went in 2023 on Mother’s Day. We went to the zoo where they were having a Mother’s day celebration. And there were different organizations there. And we had gotten an email from the zoo and they said that someone was there and they were gonna be giving away. an IVF. To a family so you could enter into this contest and you could potentially win the chance to do IVF because as a lot of you know, it’s not cheap. We thought, let’s go, let’s take our chances, let’s go enter [00:02:00] in and see what the universe has in store for us and. Actually, that’s where we met with Utah Foster Care. They had a booth set up. We actually ended up having a conversation there with Esmeralda from Utah Foster Care, and she was so helpful. She spoke Spanish, which was helpful for my wife, who speaks Spanish. She was answering all of our questions. it really just sparked that interest for us and we hadn’t really. Actually fully considered doing foster care until that conversation. So that was really special, that, that’s kind of what started it off for us. And then we became foster parents. About a year later. We had a couple life things come up. I got an injury and we weren’t ready to start right away. But when we did officially become licensed in 20, 24, about a month after we got our license, we got our first placement. And that first placement was who we just adopted in January of this year. And. We also have his younger half brother that was placed with us as well last summer. So [00:03:00] we’ve just, we’re just growing and expanding and, Amy: Yeah, I love that. Okay, so you’re saying that the booths work. I feel really good about this. I love that. I love that you guys went in with a different, like purpose essentially, and then your eyes were open to something else, like that’s really cool. So have you guys had any other placements besides these two siblings? Jessica: No, actually they’ve been the only, only two placements. We were kind of one of the odd ones, I guess, that adopted our very first placement, so I know that’s not always the case, but. Amy: It’s not, but you know what I’ve learned in foster care is that nothing is normal. You just never know. So I love that. That’s amazing. So tell us a little bit about the process of becoming licensed. Did you feel any barriers or things as an L-G-B-T-Q couple? Jessica: I do feel like in some ways I think we felt more needed. I do remember pretty early on hearing the statistics that about, and correct me if I’m wrong, about [00:04:00] 30% of foster kids end up identifying as LGBTQ plus. So I do remember thinking like, oh, wow, those are crazy numbers. And how special would it be for us to be there and to be able to have our start with foster care and to be able to just be there to even if it didn’t end up in adoption, we would’ve loved to have that positive impact. Even if it was just a temporary thing where there’s reunification as the goal, then we were happy to be there for however long in a child’s life as that was gonna be. And yeah, I think we felt pretty early on that that this was a good place for us. That there was a lot of inclusion and a lot of , a need for just having that diversity and having that acceptance. Amy: Yeah, I love that. I know that’s spoken of so much, and so to actually hear your experience that is what it felt like and was that I love that because there is, there, is a huge need for it. Have you guys been able to participate in a cluster, the group that, Around the LGBTQ community. Have you guys been able to participate in any of those types [00:05:00] of events? Jessica: We haven’t specifically, which is awful. I know Amy: No, it’s not. Jessica: invited. Yeah, it is very busy. Yeah. And we have met couple of the people that help run those groups. They’re amazing people. And we do go to other activities and other events where we can, and it’s, yeah. It’s been nice though to know that those resources are there and that those other. Activities are happening, that those meetings are happening. Like it’s, it is wonderful to know that, and I think that is, again, initially that is something that really was a positive impact on our decision to become foster parents, was knowing that. It’s not just, Hey, , we are inclusive of everyone. They didn’t just say it on paper. They were actually doing the things that show that they care about the LGBTQ plus community. There were actually those things in place to help. We are very happy that they exist and Amy: Love Jessica: we need to start attending those. Yeah. Amy: It’s tricky, especially if you have younger kids. A lot of those are geared towards the teens in the community, so that’s totally fair. And life is busy. [00:06:00] Foster parents are busy. So I totally get that. One of the things that Utah Foster Care says a lot is that every child deserves belonging. So what’s that kind of mean to you guys? Jessica: the term belonging. doesn’t just exist for LGBTQ plus. I think that can be for anyone that’s different, anyone that feels outta place. And I think of course it’s especially important for our LGBTQ plus children that that need those safe homes. And. Us being in that community ourselves, I think has a whole new meaning. We can apply our own personal experience, the things that were said, that were helpful, the things that were maybe hurtful, and kind of take what we’ve learned from our own personal experiences and say I. We’re never gonna be that kind of parent to our kids because that was hurtful or the opposite. Luckily in our cases were was true that we both had very accepting families, very accepting friends and support systems that as we came out and as we. Decided, Hey, we’re gonna, we’re gonna start a family. We’re gonna do this. We [00:07:00] had so much love and so much support and a lot of right things were said, and a lot of right things were done. So just knowing that, like we want to give that as well. All the love that we’ve already received, like we have so much to give as well. I think that belonging is important for every child regardless of how they identify. Amy: Yeah, absolutely. And like you said at very beginning, , we need to belong in so many different aspects. There’s so many clubs, groups, places to belong that, that every human needs, I would love if you would be willing to share, As foster parents, what are things that maybe we have a child in our care that comes out while they’re in our care? What do we do as foster parents? Jessica: I think what was helpful for me specifically, I didn’t come out in my youth. I was much older when I came out. I was about 24, 23 or so. But I can imagine having come out as a youth and I can. I can imagine the anxiety, the stress, the the fear of, how is this person gonna react? Especially [00:08:00] being in Utah, it’s a little more conservative. A lot of people come from a religious, background and unfortunately you hear stories and these stories are real things that happen to real people. And unfortunately, there are a lot of reactions that are not positive and that are not great. Things that helped me and things that were said to me from my own family was just, this change is nothing. We love you. We still want the best for you. We still want you to get married. We still want you to have kids. If that’s what you choose to do, and we’re here for you, and just helping to take that fear away of. Am I gonna be kicked outta my family? Am I gonna be treated differently now? Am I gonna, the things that, at least in my case, I didn’t ever think that my family would do that. ’cause I knew that they, deep down, they, they love me no matter what. But they’re still real fears. Even if you have the most supportive parents or the most supportive, support system, you, you can still have those fears and that, that still exists. So her experience was very different than mine and I’m grateful she’s sharing this. ’cause it, it brings a lot of. Insight [00:09:00] here. She did come out when she was much younger early teens, and she was living in Venezuela at the time. a cultural difference there as well as far as being able to come out and having a safe space to do so. and she, very much at the time her parents were not understanding, and unfortunately she did go through a period of, they tried to change who she was and they tried to, they sent her to conversion therapy. It was unfortunately that, extreme opposite of the situation that I had. They’re at a place now where they are, absolutely changed and apologized, and they are present in our lives. They love us, they love her, they love our kids. So it’s so great to see that, there’s hope for youth that maybe don’t have positive experiences as well. But yeah. My wife then also said what she would say to, to kids in her care. is to just not have expectations for them not set the expectation of you have to be this person. You have to love this person. You have to end up doing this. And I think that applies, again, not just to being [00:10:00] LGBTQ plus, but that can apply to not have expectations of you’re absolutely gonna go to college right after high school. You’re absolutely gonna do this thing or follow this. This rule or be this way or think this way. , That is advice , that applies to other areas of parenting is I think take away some of those expectations of who you want your kids to be and just let them be who they want to be and who they are. Amy: Absolutely. Something I would love if Giselle’s willing to answer is, what did she do, when she was. I mean, ostracized, it sounds like when she was treated poorly from that coming out, what did she do? What would she say to kids that maybe are having that experience of coming out and not being accepted, not being included, or welcomed. Jessica: She said it was really hard when she came out she felt very isolated. She didn’t have a lot of tools or a lot of, examples or places to, to look at or to go to really feel a lot of hope. When she did come out, it was a really dark time. [00:11:00] She did feel really lonely and like she was the only one. . Like she was trying to be changed. But if she could say something to youth that are maybe in the same situation as that, you’re not alone, you’re definitely not alone. And I would add that it gets better. I know that it’s hard to see that and hard to feel that in the moment, but look at where she is now. I’d say things have changed a little bit, Amy: Yeah, Jessica: so things are are much better. Amy: and I feel like the world is getting more accepting. It’s becoming, more informed. I think even just in the last few years really it’s more. I don’t know the right word, but people are more accepting. People are more informed but at the same time, it’s like even just two weeks ago, a friend texted me and said, Hey, my son is. Going to come out eventually. We don’t know when, we’re really afraid that grandma’s not gonna be okay with this. And I said [00:12:00] That’s fine. He is still the same person to me, but, so she called and talked to grandma so that she could give grandma a heads up and grandma did not respond well, and. I don’t know how it’ll go. This kid hasn’t come out yet and I don’t know when he will and I don’t know how it will go but it was a reality check to me that yeah, there are still people that are like, oh no. And that’s really hard for youth and I don’t know what to do. And I guess we just find the people that are supportive. I’m not sure, if you have any insight onto that, I think it would be awesome. Jessica: Yeah. I’m glad you’re bringing this up. Actually, one of my favorite things that I share with a lot of people is you need to look for where you’re celebrated, not just tolerated. And I think I got that off of an episode of Queer Eye, so I can’t take credit for that quote. But I, I mean, it just really resonated with me because there are, unfortunately. Even some of the friends and family members that said this change is nothing. We still love you. Things did change [00:13:00] and relationships did change from the time I came out to where we are now and, unfortunately you do, you have to choose where you are gonna spend your time and where you’re gonna put in your effort. And family is chosen and for a lot of, people it’s not just biological family. And I think that’s so true, especially with foster care. We always tell our boys, they’re really little still. They’re not even two yet, and not even one. But we say, we chose you and we always will choose you and. Just that idea that love is a choice and family can be a choice. Sometimes you get lucky and you’re born into a family that loves you and accepts you and will be the healthiest thing for you. But sometimes that’s not the case. And I think in those cases you get to kind of, you have permission to choose. Who you let into your circle and who you’re calling family and who gets to be your aunt or your uncles or your parents or your siblings. You get to choose those people and surround yourself with people who really celebrate who you are. Amy: and that’s hard to do [00:14:00] sometimes. It’s hard. It’s hard to. To choose those people. When we do live in a society, it’s, you’re tied to this, you’re tied to that. And so I love that. I love that perspective that you have I love that quote. Do you guys have it in your house somewhere? Jessica: Good. I know I need to print that off somewhere. Amy: You do. I love that. Jessica: I think my said something else to say too. Really good she said so in her experience, especially with some of her family members a lot of which are still actually in Venezuela in some of the cases where, she’s had people that haven’t been as accepting and, a lot of times she’s noticed that these family members sometimes just speak out of ignorance, out of not not knowing anyone that’s a lesbian, not knowing anyone that is gay and has a family, not knowing, anyone in that community that they can turn to and ask questions or not having done research themselves or not having, gained knowledge about. community themselves. And so luckily in some cases, she has found that sometimes just after a conversation of, [00:15:00] Hey, let’s. Let’s put our religious differences aside. Let’s put our egos aside. Let’s put any hurt feelings aside and let’s have a conversation. What questions do you have for me? That’s something that we always try to be very open to. Questions. ’cause I understand too, people, this is new, a new concept for some people and a. I wish it wasn’t. I wish that wasn’t the world we lived in. I wish it wasn’t so hard to wrap your head around this idea of families looking different than the traditional mainstream family. But sometimes just having conversations with people and saying, Hey what questions do you have that can sometimes help heal some relationships, and not in all cases, unfortunately but she’s been lucky to that has been the case in some of her family members. Amy: as somebody that’s not. In the LGBTQ plus community I can be sometimes like I don’t wanna say anything wrong. I don’t, and it’s same with any community, right? I’m in the fostering community and people ask me questions all the time and they say stupid crap all the time, but I’m okay with it ’cause they’re just learning. So I think that’s a really good perspective [00:16:00] that it’s yeah, if we don’t know, try to find the most tactful way to ask. Jessica: Absolutely. Absolutely. Amy: So that’s a really good perspective. I appreciate that a lot. So switching back, just to fostering a little bit, what is something, that has changed you guys as a couple or as an individual? What has fostering done to your life personally? Jessica: My wife, ed everything has changed. Yeah. Amy: Yes, she’s Jessica: everything has changed, but for the better. I think. Our hearts have just opened so much more than we ever imagined they could. Just this unconditional love and truly, I mean, the word unconditional, I think that word gets overused sometimes, but. the actual definition of that word, not putting any conditions on these children, you do not have to be behaving. You do not have to be perfect. You do not have to turn out this way, or you do not have to become this per kind of person. I have zero conditions on how much I love you and it’s just been incredible to. Find a sense of community as [00:17:00] well for us. It was one thing that I’ve talked about. I stepped away from the religion that I grew up in when I. Came out and I lost a sense of community when that happened. So foster care really helped kind of reinstate and helped us explore a new community. And it’s been wonderful to have new friends and new new activities to go to and new people that we can connect with and people that are going through a similar experience as us has been. Amy: Mentally unstable people as us. Jessica: People are losing their minds just like we. Amy: Yeah. This is so rewarding. No, I love that. It’s so true. That’s awesome. Jessica: I think Giselle had something else to say. Placements.[00:18:00] Yeah, she said that kind of thinking back to the like trainings and initially getting into foster care too. And I guess we’re kind of hypocritical ’cause I just said we didn’t have any, I think in some ways we had an expectation, to take some of those things we were learning and really be able to apply it to having placements and, oh, we’re gonna use this stuff to, this is good parenting stuff. , We’re gonna be the best parents with all this information. But really it became, the, one of the biggest change has been with ourselves and, really reflecting on who we are and the way that we respond to things, the way that we react as parents to certain situations and the way that we, handle just your day to day things. It’s been fun to, to see some of those trainings that we, again, we thought we’d be applying this to. Okay. When your toddler’s having a [00:19:00] meltdown, teach them to count to 10. No we’re the ones counting to 10 for ourselves first, and then we’re, yeah, we’re the ones having the meltdown. But it’s been great though that it has really kind of instigated that change in ourselves. In a lot of ways trying to show up and trying to be the best parents for these kids, it’s really changed us at a level that is just more than what we expected. Amy: Yeah. That’s so beautiful. I love that. It’s I fostered for years. We’re done because our house is full, but I always say it’s like the most difficult but rewarding thing that I have ever been a part of, so I love that. Yeah. it’s difficult, but it’s beautiful. Jessica: beautiful. Yeah. Amy: As we just start to wrap up, like what would you say to someone that’s considering fostering, especially if they are part of the LGBTQ plus community? Jessica: I think this goes for most foster parents. Amy: Yeah. Jessica: isn’t easy. It definitely isn’t. But it is. [00:20:00] At least in our experience, it has really been a positive journey. And I know there’s many years to come still for us, I think, in this journey. And, can I share a quick story that also, okay. I do remember one of our first trainings. It was like one of the in-person trainings. I remember them. In a nice way, but pretty bluntly saying if you have an issue with lgbtq plus issues or with those topics, maybe foster care isn’t for you. Consider, consider maybe exploring somewhere else to start a family. Because here we, we need to give these kids a sense of belonging. We need to give them love and support. And I do think that’s something that also stuck with me and made it feel like such a safe place. And. In general, to any parent that’s starting out their journey, however it may be, it is difficult. And I think even more so when you add on these unique challenges that foster kids are come with and they’re gonna struggle with things for their whole lives, that your typical [00:21:00] child maybe won’t. And, I think it’s wonderful that we have a place, though that really, again, practices what they preach as far as we need to be loving, we need to be accepting. We need to make this a place of belonging. And I think I’m just rambling now, but I, I. Amy: No, I love it. I agree with all those things and I think that’s really accurate and I think it’s really important for listeners to. Hear that from a real life perspective, and hear that’s real, not just the flag on the door. It’s different when it’s in real life. So I think that’s a really good perspective to share. I think my last question, unless you have anything else you wanted to add, is if people can’t foster ’cause not all of us can foster. It’s a different path in life that a lot of us choose and it’s beautiful, but it is hard if they can’t foster. What are ways that our community members can be supportive of the LGBTQ plus community? Jessica: That’s a great question. I think, you hear the term being an ally and I think that can feel overwhelming to some people. They think the very extreme end of being [00:22:00] an of being an ally of showing up to protests and going to the parades and marching, right alongside your lgbtq plus brothers and sisters. And I don’t think it always has to look like that. I think, just making it known that you are a safe place, that you’re a safe person. And that can be done by little things of speaking positively about LGBTQ plus people and the issues that are happening on the news. I think it’s so easy to make your stance clear. I think there are many subtle ways that you can do and I, again, I don’t think it has to always be, if you can go out and participate and be even, even more on that extreme end of an ally, great. But just know it doesn’t have to be that. Just sharing that you’re a safe place and that you love everyone and that everyone deserves love and that, making it clear that you’re a safe person, I think is really the best you can do. Amy: Yeah. I love that. Does Giselle have anything that she wants to add on [00:23:00] that? Jessica: She said Help, help also with kind of her last point there of ignorance. Just being someone that’s willing to have conversation with people that maybe just don’t know that, that still have questions and that, need questions answered. Be someone that’s willing to have a conversation with them. Amy: I love that. That’s awesome. Thank you guys both so much for joining us, for educating our listeners, for sharing your experiences. I think it’s really invaluable information that we’re able to share. So thank you for your time. Jessica: Thanks so much for having us.

Tim Tollefson returns to Trail Runner Nation for a wide-ranging conversation about what makes trail running special and what happens as the sport continues to grow. Using a "Wheel of Trail Running" format, the discussion lands on two big topics: cultivating the next generation of trail stewards and the ongoing professionalization of trail running. Tim shares how his work with Runners for Public Lands and Mammoth Trail Fest has changed the way he views trails, volunteerism, and the responsibility runners have to give back to the places they love. The conversation explores everything from carrying a small saw on training runs to the challenges and opportunities created by big sponsors, larger race organizations, and growing prize purses. Throughout the episode, Tim makes a compelling case that trail running's future depends on balancing growth with the community values that built the sport. It's an honest look at how runners can help preserve trail culture while welcoming more people into it.

So you've decided to do a Roth conversion… now what? Most Roth conversion conversations focus on whether you should do one. But the long-term value often comes from how the strategy is actually implemented. In this episode, Tyler Emrick, CFA®, CFP® walks through the overlooked decisions that can materially impact the outcome of a Roth conversion strategy. Topics include: When to complete a Roth conversion Whether to spread conversions throughout the year Tax bracket management and conversion timing Why recharacterizations no longer being available matters How to pay Roth conversion taxes efficiently Roth conversions before age 59½ Estimated tax payments and withholding strategies Which investments may be best suited for Roth accounts Why higher-growth investments are often prioritized inside Roth IRAs Coordinating Roth conversions with investment management and rebalancing Tyler also explains why many Roth conversion mistakes have less to do with the conversion itself — and more to do with poor timing, tax management, and implementation decisions.

Montel Williams grew up in one of Baltimore's toughest neighborhoods. At 7 years old, a teacher tried to define him by the color of his skin. That day, he made a decision that shaped everything  no one else would ever own the definition of who he was.That mindset took him from the streets of Baltimore to the Naval Academy, from military intelligence to 17 years of daytime television with 100% creative control and through a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis he's been fighting for over 20 years.In this conversation, Moshe Popack sits down with Montel Williams to talk about discipline, faith, and what it really means to build a life on your own terms.Timestamp: 0:00 Growing Up in One of Baltimore's Toughest Neighborhoods3:30 The Belief He's Carried Since Childhood5:00 First African American to Graduate the Naval Academy Prep School7:00 How a Speaking Tour of 1.5M Kids Built a TV Empire9:00 100% Creative Control  Why the Show Lasted 17 Years10:00 The Real Reason Most People Never Know Who They Are11:30 What Fatherhood Actually Teaches You About Letting Go13:30 The MS Diagnosis and the Fight That Followed15:00 How to Reduce Inflammation and Take Control of Chronic Illness16:00 The Only Way Out Is Through  His New Project25:30 The Teacher Who Tried to Define Him in Second Grade27:00 What Montel Williams Wishes for the World

This episode contains descriptions of murder, mob violence, historical racial violence, and the execution of a convicted killer. If you need to skip this content, advance past the 18:00 mark. Support resources are listed at the end of these notes.This EpisodeSeason 40: Fifty states, fifty forgotten crimes, America's 250th year. Episode 9 covers California and Alabama — two cases, two communities that looked at the legal system and reached for something uglier. October 10, 1890. A woman named Helen Riche is playing cards in her tavern near a California quicksilver mine when ten men in flour-sack hoods crash through the door. She does not run. She reaches up and rips the mask off the nearest man's face, and in that single act she solves the crime that is about to kill her. This is true crime history from the American frontier, and the legal system that followed would leave you cold.December 1888, Birmingham, Alabama. A railroad engineer named Richard Hawes boards a streetcar with his eight- year-old daughter May. He gets off with her at East Lake. He gets back on alone. The body of a young girl is found floating in the lake the next morning. On the same day, Hawes is across the state line getting married. When Birmingham finds out, two thousand people march on the jail.The VictimsHelen Matilda Riche ran the Campers' Retreat tavern on sixty-two acres near the Bradford quicksilver mine, three miles south of Middletown, California. We do not know where she was born or how she came to run a mining-camp saloon in hard hill country — the historical record is thin on her life before October 10, 1890. What it preserves is a woman who managed a clientele of mercury miners in one of the most physically dangerous industries of the era. She was shot five times during the raid. She fought back, reaching for her husband's .44 Winchester with five bullets already in her body. She died four days later. Her husband J.W. Riche died less than three months after her, his own bullet wound never having healed.May Hawes was eight years old when her father took her on a one-way train ride to East Lake on the evening of December 3, 1888. She had been doing the work of a parent since she could walk, looking after younger siblings in a household already coming apart. She was laid out for public identification at Lockwood & Miller's Funeral Parlor in Birmingham, unidentified for a full day. A local butcher recognized her. May, her mother Emma, and her six-year-old sister Irene — all three murdered by Richard Hawes — lay in an unmarked grave at Oak Hill Cemetery in Birmingham for more than 135 years. In April 2024, they finally received a headstone.The CrimesThe Lake County White Cap raid followed personal grudges that had been tightening for months. Blackburn, a mine foreman, had been thrown out of the Campers' Retreat after a brawl with the bartender Fred Bennett. Others in the group had boundary disputes, cattle quarrels, neighborhood debts to settle. They put flour sacks over their heads and called it a community morality action — the Whitecapping movement had spread from Indiana through the Southern states and into California by 1890. The plan was to flog Bennett and run him to the county line. Helen Riche unmasked Henry Arkarro the moment the men crashed through the door, and the plan collapsed into gunfire.Richard Hawes murdered three members of his own family to clear the way for a new marriage. Emma and Irene Hawes were found bound with curtain cord and weighted with railroad iron curve-braces in a Birmingham lake on December 8, 1888 — the same day a mob of approximately 2,000 people converged on the Jefferson County Jail demanding to hang him on the spot. Sheriff Joseph S. Smith fired into the crowd. Ten men were killed. Approximately thirty were wounded. The historical murder case that followed Hawes would take fourteen more months and a formal trial to reach the same conclusion the mob wanted.The Investigations and Legal OutcomesIn California, ten men were arrested within days. The mining community was small; Helen Riche had identified one attacker herself. The trial opened February 6, 1891, in Lakeport — *People of the State of California v. B.F. Staley et al.* Four men were convicted of second-degree murder: Blackburn sentenced to twenty-five years, Staley and Cradwick to twenty years each, Osgood to twelve years. All four were released from San Quentin within approximately three years. The Governor had commuted Blackburn's sentence to ten years following an extensive lobbying campaign. Three years, for a home invasion that killed two people.In Alabama, Richard Hawes was tried beginning April 22, 1889, before Judge Samuel Greene. The prosecution built the case around May's murder — the strongest evidence available, though entirely circumstantial: eyewitness testimony placing father and daughter on the streetcar together, and only the father returning. The jury deliberated fifty-five minutes. Death. After multiple appeals to the Alabama Supreme Court, all denied, Richard Hawes was hanged by Sheriff Smith on February 28, 1890 — the same man who had fired into a crowd to keep him alive for this moment. Hawes wore a geranium in his lapel. The gallows were built by a man who had served on his jury.Historical ContextBoth cases sit at a specific American intersection: communities losing faith in institutional justice and reaching for extralegal violence, with consequences that fell hardest on people who had nothing to do with the original grievance. The Whitecapping movement was already documented across Indiana, Tennessee, and Mississippi before it reached California. In Alabama, the Birmingham riot of 1888 killed ten bystanders, including Maurice Throckmorton, thirty-three, the city's postmaster, who was reportedly trying to calm the crowd when he was shot. The legal system delivered the outcome the mob demanded — it just took fourteen months and cost ten additional lives to get there.California's legislature responded to the broader wave of hooded vigilantism during this period with enhanced anti- vigilante and anti-mask statutes. For the Hawes case, Fannie Bryant — the family's cook and a key witness for the prosecution — was herself sentenced to death for allegedly aiding Hawes. She died in a prison riot before the sentence could be carried out. Her actual level of involvement remains contested. She was a Black woman in 1880s Alabama, easily targeted by a system that offered her no protection.Our Sponsors:* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.com* Check out Mood and use my code SHANE for a great deal: https://mood.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

What does it actually take to back yourself when no one else believes in you? In this episode of We Live to Build, Sean sits down with Stacie Shifflett, a self-taught entrepreneur and subject matter expert in federal government procurement and acquisition, who shares the raw story of orchestrating a 50 million dollar software company acquisition with zero prior experience at that scale. You'll hear how Stacie walked into a boardroom, discovered her name had been left off the org chart despite a signed employment contract, and chose to stand her ground rather than go along to get along. She also opens up about one of the hardest decisions entrepreneurs face, knowing when to say no, take your money, and walk away even when others frame it as a missed opportunity. If you've ever been underestimated or felt pressure to shrink yourself in a room where you clearly earned your seat, Stacie's story will resonate deeply.────────────────────────────────--─────────────────────

What if your confidence in prayer isn't supposed to come from how well you pray, but from who is listening? This message explores Jesus' teaching on prayer in Luke 11, revealing that prayer is not about performance, perfect words, or spiritual eloquence—it's about trusting the character of a loving and honorable Father. Through powerful stories, cultural insights, and Jesus' own words, we're reminded that God hears us not because we've earned His attention, but because He delights in His children. If you've ever wondered whether you're praying "the right way," this message offers a refreshing invitation to rest in God's goodness and draw near to Him as your Abba, Father.---Join us for service online or in-person in Grand Rapids every Sunday at 9AM & 10:45AM.Decided to follow Jesus?

Decided to run a little solo show this month. We did have a guest scheduled but they needed a little more time to work on things there side and to be honest though I'm kinda glad The guest shows take a lot more time to prepare that most realise, and not only that but because I'm often chasing my own ass trying to get things done in time I started to loose sight of the basic art behind all this and started to become frequently stressed over it. This show reminded me why more freestyles mixes and less pre-programming is also essential to stay skilled with. I would worry like crazy thinking if i didn't put days or nights into the playlist that it would surely just turn out a bit shit, but its really not the case. Its exhausting and not sustainable to be the way I have been and I would have ended up hating the process and quitting in the long run. So yeah long story short, I'm real happy with this month's show despite slightly going off my goal of releasing 12 guest shows within each month of the year. As always please enjoy the music and don't be afraid to loose yourself in it...

This Sunday, Sarah walks through Mark 1 and shows how Jesus moved toward people in need. He healed, restored, and made space for fresh encounters. Through the beginning of Jesus' ministry, we're reminded that prayer is deeply connected to relationship, trust, and learning to recognize who Jesus is. Sarah's message invites us to see what Scripture teaches about both Jesus and our connection to Him through prayer. If you've ever wanted to grow in prayer or better understand how Jesus meets people, this message will encourage you. __Join us for service online or in-person in Grand Rapids every Sunday at 9 & 10:45AM (EST).Decided to follow Jesus?

Set pieces, long throws and tippy-tappy in the box; St Mirren stay up, plus will Lawrence Shankland be a success at Rangers? With David Currie, Kris Doolan and John Walker.

For this week's Edition, Lara Prendergast is joined by The Spectator's John Power, feminist campaigner Julie Bindel and former adviser to Boris Johnson – and co-host of the In The Room podcast, Cleo Watson.They explore the idea that the Strait of Hormuz, not Makerfield, will determine the fate of the current Labour government. Starmer may be facing a challenge to his authority from mayoral shapeshifter Andy Burnham, but neither the PM or the wannabe MP will be rewarded if grocery and energy prices continue to soar. How much can be done to insulate Britain from future pain? And do they trust Labour to do so?Also this week: is Wes Streeting a better option than Burnham? Julie reveals her own run-ins with the now-backbench MP but concedes that Wes may be 'the least bad option'.Plus: what can we learn from female political trailblazers of the past? Are there any merits to lists of the greatest books? And, following the release of series two of Rivals, Cleo reveals she was once asked to put together a list of the best orgasm scenes from Jilly Cooper's novels...Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

Exploring an abandoned hospital didn't seem like a big deal at first. It looked like every other place left to fall apart—quiet, empty, and honestly a little overhyped. As they moved through the rooms, the sounds didn't stand out right away. Small things here and there, the kind you expect in an old building and don't think twice about.But there was one moment that didn't line up.Walking down a long hallway, he thought his friend had stepped into a room off to the side. He even turned to say something, only to realize his friend was still right behind him. It didn't make sense, but neither of them stopped to figure it out. They just kept moving.When they reached the end of the hall, something slammed behind them—loud enough to echo through the entire building and heavy enough that it didn't feel like nothing.They could have gone back to check what caused it. Neither of them even suggested it. They just left.#RealGhostStories #AbandonedHospital #ParanormalEncounter #UnexplainedSounds #HauntedPlaces #UrbanExploration #SomethingInTheHallway #GhostStory #UnseenPresence #TrueGhostStory Love real ghost stories?
