Send a textWelcome to a very special edition of the program.Today, we dedicate this episode to a man whose voice, vision, and moral urgency helped shape the American political and social landscape for more than half a century — Reverend Jesse Jackson.From the civil rights movement to the national political stage, Jackson's journey is inseparable from the story of modern America. He stood at the crossroads of protest and policy, faith and activism, idealism and pragmatism. He spoke not only of justice, but of possibility — insisting that the circle of opportunity must always widen.In this tribute episode, we reflect on that remarkable life and legacy.You'll hear a retrospective drawn from CNN and Chicago's ABC News — revisiting the moments that defined a movement leader, presidential candidate, diplomat, and advocate for economic and racial justice.We'll listen to a conversation with former Atlanta Mayor and Ambassador Andrew Young, offering personal insight into Jackson's courage, convictions, and enduring influence.We'll also revisit a powerful interview recorded the morning after Barack Obama was elected President of the United States — capturing Jackson's emotion at a moment many saw as the realization of struggles decades in the making.From the 1980s, we bring you archival coverage of Jackson speaking at Duke University — where his words challenged audiences to think bigger about equality, responsibility, and shared destiny.And in a lighter but unforgettable cultural moment, we remember his beloved reading of Green Eggs and Ham — a reminder that leadership can inspire not only through speeches, but through humanity and joy.Finally, we'll share a five-minute excerpt from his historic 1988 Democratic National Convention address — a speech that remains one of the most eloquent calls for unity and compassion in American political history.And we're honored to announce that, on March 2nd and March 3rd, we will rebroadcast Reverend Jackson's full 1984 and 1988 Democratic National Convention speeches.This episode is also dedicated to two individuals whose lives touched our worlds in different, meaningful ways.To Robert Duvall, an artist whose performances brought depth, dignity, and unforgettable humanity to the screen.And to Myrtle Beach author, activist, and amateur radio operator E. Gordon Mooneyhan, whom we lost this past year. Gordon was a man of boundless curiosity and creativity — a lover of writing, photography, trains, and ham radio. He authored the Railroad Dining Car Cookbooks, chronicled the lives of friends through his books, held a degree in business administration from Coastal Carolina University, and served his community with quiet dedication — as a member of Seaside Masonic Lodge #419, the Grand Strand Amateur Radio Club, and a volunteer at the Emergency Operations Center during times of crisis.Today's program is offered in the spirit that connects all three of these lives — purpose, passion, and the belief that one person's voice can make a difference.Thank you for joining us.

Sunday Morning Service - 15.02.26

In this session, we dive into the story of Solomon and the construction of the Temple. Solomon, the son of David, becomes known for his wisdom and skillful leadership as the king of Israel. Solomon builds the magnificent Temple in Jerusalem, the place where God's presence dwells among His people. As we explore the significance of the Temple, we reflect on the sacrificial system and the need for a permanent substitute to cover sins. Later, Solomon's disobedience, particularly in taking many wives, leads to his downfall and God's anger. We witness the consequences of Solomon's sin and how it ultimately results in the future division of the kingdom.Bible Readings1 Kings 8:1-52 (Solomon's Prayer of Dedication of the Temple)1 Kings 9:1-9 (God's response to Solomon)Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

One of the ways to secure divine direction is to ‘tune one's spirit' to receive it. In this message, we explore several ways to effectively tune one's spirit to receive direction, including maintaining a listening mode, cultivating the climate of the Word, worship, praise, and many more.

In this second part of the message, we see more necessities of soul-winning, reasons why we should take soul-winning seriously, and more qualities of a true soul-winner.

I sit down with Colonel Edward Arntson III, who has 24 years of military service, to unpack what leadership really demands when it counts. We start with self-leadership: how you show up, how you carry yourself, and why humility isn't optional. We get into competence, intellectual curiosity, and the overlooked power of energy and tone. What you tolerate becomes the standard. Colonel Arntson shares hard-earned lessons from leading in garrison and in combat, including moments that tested his decision-making, confidence, and character. If you're building a team, leading a family, or trying to lead yourself better, this episode delivers practical takeaways you can apply immediately.More about Colonel Ed Arntson:Ed Arntson, from Buffalo Grove, Illinois, graduated from Concordia College (2002) and commissioned as a Distinguished Military Graduate infantry officer through NDSU. He led rifle and company units in Alaska, Afghanistan, and Iraq, was wounded in combat, and later served with The Old Guard, including a landmark deployment to Taji, Iraq. After CGSC and SAMS, he held planning and operations roles with 1st Cavalry Division, deployed to Korea and Baghdad, and served on the Joint Staff.

The Mitch Ammons story is no longer just a comeback story. He's now a living case study of what happens when discipline compounds.Last time Mitch was here he had run a 2:16 marathon, which was fast enough to qualify for the 2024 US Olympic Marathon trials. But he had bigger dreams.  And the quiet workhorse has since improved upon that impressive time with a new marathon PR of 2:14:48 at the California International Marathon in December of 2025. (This qualifies him for the 2028 US Olympic Marathon trials.)He also won the 2025 Austin Half Marathon with a time of 1:08:34, winning in a big way on his home course. Mitch continues to train as a member of the Bat City Track Club in Austin. He is also an athlete for BPN (Bare Performance Nutrition) and Altra Running.In the ultra-running realm, Mitch has expressed that he wants to run the 2026 Go One More Last Man Standing Ultramarathon again, an event he competed in last year (he finished third with 126 miles). Outside of running, he continues to work as a full-time realtor in Austin for the Landy Frost Group.Mitch Ammons didn't come back to retell the same story. He came back to show what sustained belief looks like in real time. Tap into the Mitch Ammons Special. If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review! I would also appreciate it if you share it with your friend who you think will benefit from it. Comment the word “PODCAST” below and I'll DM you a link to listen. If this episode blesses you, please share it with a friend!S H O W  N O T E S-The Run Down By The Running Effect (our new newsletter!): https://tinyurl.com/mr36s9rs-Our Website: https://therunningeffect.run -THE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClLcLIDAqmJBTHeyWJx_wFQ-My Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/therunningeffect/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-Take our podcast survey: https://tinyurl.com/3ua62ffz

I am a professional athlete and the American Record Holder in the Women's Decathlon with a passion for Track and Field and sharing Jesus through my sport!    I have been beyond blessed in my life through my walk with Christ and He has helped shape me into the person I am today through trials, tribulations, love, grace, heartache, passion, grief, joy, pain, and His amazing plan with it all.    Since He has given me such a platform to reach others, I have decided that I should be sharing Him in every avenue I possibly can and sharing His amazing stories in my life to help inspire and help others.    I played many sports growing up including basketball (my passion), taekwondo, tennis, softball, and gymnastics. Even when I wasn't in an organized sport my days usually included lots of swimming, bike riding, tree climbing, knife throwing, gun/bow shooting, and many more activities.  Track and Field, however, was not a sport I had the opportunity to compete in until my senior year of high school.    In my senior year of high school my mother found Blane Williams with the Heat Track club at Kell High School. Coach Blane allowed me to join his team at 17yrs old and that opportunity has changed my life forever.    After a year of running with The Heat I went to school at Kennesaw State University to join their Track and Field team and be coached by Andy Eggerth in 2014.    Since then, I have graduated from Kennesaw State University where I was a 10x Conference Champion and 4x All-American in NCAA Division I Track and Field.    I have competed at NCAA D1 Championships, USA Championships, the Thorpe Cup in Germany for Team USA x2, The National Women's Decathlon Championship x2, and the Open De France. I was also the Bronze Medalist at the Pan American Games in 2023.    ​I continue with my professional career attempting to gain a spot on Team USA for various events.   I am the American Record Holder in the Women's Decathlon, as well as the Women's Decathlon 100m Dash, Long Jump American Record Holder. I am also the World Record Holder in the Women's Decathlon Long Jump I am currently working towards helping get women the opportunity to compete in the Olympics in the Decathlon.

Michael Sargis, City Manager of North Lauderdale, brings nearly four decades of local government experience to this conversation with podcast host Steve Vancore. From starting as a college intern to serving as Parks and Recreation Director for 29 years, Michael now leads a city of 46,000 residents in just five square miles. He discusses the city's “PROUD” initiative—Professionalism, Respect, Outreach, Unity, and Dedication—and the impact it has had on internal culture, career development, and service delivery.

Fr. Matthias Shehad continues the study of the harmony of the Gospels by exploring Jesus' ministry during the Feast of Dedication, also known as Hanukkah, and his journey toward Jerusalem. He explains the historical background of the feast, highlighting its origins in the time of the Maccabees and its significance as a celebration of the temple's rededication. Fr. Matthias discusses Jesus' declaration of divinity during the feast, his teaching about being the Good Shepherd, and the spiritual nature of faith as expressed in following Christ and receiving eternal life. The talk also covers the sending of the 70 apostles, emphasizing their mission to evangelize, rely on God's provision, and persevere through rejection. The teaching highlights the unity of the Father and the Son, the authority given to the apostles over evil, and the importance of rejoicing in salvation over miracles. Fr. Matthias concludes by reflecting on the disciples' unique blessing to witness Christ's mission and the ongoing call to spread the Gospel.

What happens when you put three legendary teachers and the Head of School in a room with a microphone? You get decades of history, uncontrollable laughter, and a heartwarming look at what "School Choice" really means. In honor of National School Choice Week, Head of School Kristen Bishop sits down with three of AGCS's absolute "GOATs"—two of our beloved Kindergarten teachers and a 2nd-grade veteran. These aren't just colleagues; they are old friends with a shared history that spans decades. And each one of them sent their own kids to Charter.  In this episode, the group takes a trip down memory lane, trading funny stories and poking fun at the early days. But they also tackle a serious question: Why choose AGCS? These three educators (and our CEO) didn't just choose to spend their careers here; they made the ultimate choice to entrust their own children's education to AGCS. Tune in to hear why the teachers who know the school best believe in it the most. In this episode, we discuss: The "Decades" factor: What has kept these teachers at AGCS for so long? The dual perspective: Navigating life as both a teacher and an AGCS parent. The evolution of the school (and the hilarious growing pains along the way). Why "School Choice" matters more than ever. Grab a cup of coffee and join us for one of our favorite conversations yet.

The legal profession has a "dirty little secret." The toxic culture of martyrdom that equates suffering with success. In this episode, Gary Miles shares his journey from professional excellence to internal collapse. This episode challenges the industry standard of the 80 hour work week and explores why the most "dedicated" attorneys are often the most trapped. Listen for the vital difference between external validation and internal authority, and why strategic rest is actually a professional tool rather than a weakness. It's time for attorneys to choose personal freedom without compromising our professional standards. Gary provides a roadmap for moving from martyrdom to mastery, proving that you can serve your clients with excellence while still being present for your family.Get the Values Alignment Guide ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://upbeat-trailblazer-9238.kit.com/1604bbf4cb⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Take the Free Lawyer Assessment garymiles.net/the-free-lawyer-assessment Learn more about Breaking Free or order your copy ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.garymiles.net/break-free⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Schedule a complimentary discovery call: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://calendly.com/garymiles-successcoach/one-one-discovery-call⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqcfaTWo17uxmYS9hfAdiaQ

Welcome to The AZREIA Show!

In this segment, Fox News correspondent Griff Jenkins joins Marc and Stuart to break down the chaos surrounding ICE operations and protests in liberal strongholds. Jenkins recounts his firsthand coverage of an ICE operation in Maine, where activists—many dubbed the “nose ring militia”—blocked arrests of criminal illegal aliens, including violent offenders. He exposes how sanctuary city policies endanger law enforcement and embolden extremists, sharing disturbing examples of ICE agents being doxxed and threatened online. The discussion turns to media hypocrisy, political cowardice, and public safety before lightening with talk of Jenkins' tireless schedule, surfing habit, and respect for colleague Mike Tobin's Everest push-up challenge to raise awareness for veteran suicide. #MarcCoxShow #GriffJenkins #ICE #BorderSecurity #SanctuaryCities #LawEnforcement #FoxNews #PublicSafety #VeteranAwareness
