What are you offering?”Hi: अर्जुन ने अपनी गणित की सारी चतुराई पर ध्यान केंद्रित करते हुए एक प्रस्ताव दिया।En: Arjun focused all his cleverness in math to present a proposal.Hi: रतनलाल ने सोचा, फिर कुछ मसाले चुने और कहा, “यह लो, लेकिन अगली बार मेरे पास पहले आना।”En: Ratanlal thought for a while, then selected some spices and said, “Here, but next time come to me first.”Hi: अर्जुन ने धन्यवाद कहा और नीरज की ओर देखा।En: Arjun thanked him and looked at Neeraj.Hi: नीरज के चेहरे पर गर्व की झलक थी।En: There was a glimpse of pride on Neeraj's face.Hi: “बहुत अच्छा काम किया,” नीरज ने शाबाशी दी।En: “Very well done,” Neeraj praised him.Hi: अर्जुन ने मसाले हासिल कर लिए थे, समय से पहले और बजट में।En: Arjun had acquired the spices, ahead of time and within budget.Hi: वह जान गया था कि बाजार की चतुर बातों में भी धैर्य और समझदारी जरूरी होती है।En: He realized that patience and understanding are necessary even in the clever dealings of the market.Hi: उसने मूस्कुराते हुए सोचा कि यह दीवाली हर साल की सबसे यादगार दीवाली बनेगी।En: He thought with a smile that this Diwali would become the most memorable Diwali of all time.Hi: इसी ज्ञान और आत्मविश्वास के साथ, वह बाजार की चहल-पहल में खो गया।En: With this knowledge and confidence, he lost himself in the hustle and bustle of the market.Hi: कहानी का पटाक्षेप ऐसे ही हुआ, जब अर्जुन ने न केवल मसाले खरीदे, बल्कि जीवन की बेहद अहम शिक्षा भी ग्रहण की।En: The story concluded in this way, as Arjun not only bought spices but also learned a very important lesson in life.

Mary Stone shares an update on her friend and design colleague, Marty Carson, who is now in hospice care in Florida. At the same time, with a heavy heart, she shares news of the closure of the Karen and Quinlan Home for Hospice in Fredon, NJ,  due to financial and staffing challenges. Mary and her singing partner, Ken Roberts, volunteer weekly, offering music therapy. To know that such compassionate care of our elderly and gravely ill is unsustainable is heartbreaking. Mary wraps up by reflecting on the unfolding of God —or, source, if you prefer —in everything and everyone, and much of it goes beyond our senses. It's in the unseen. There is an eternity in all things, and with that comes hope.Thanks for Tuning In!Related Podcast and Posts: Ep 47.

Psalm 37; Confession Lord's Day 34 Theme: Law keeping that delights in God alone. 1) Delighting in God alone 2) Freedom to obey 3) Heeding the law's warning

Brendan! is joined by "The Boys" for a Friday episode recorded in the aftermath of the latest NBA gambling scandal. Brendan, Joseph LaMagna, and PJ run through an overview of the news involving Chauncey Billups and Terry Rozier before wondering if pro golf is inevitably set up for a scandal of its own. Joseph suggests that player head-to-head markets for a single round would be the way that this would happen and PJ has already dubbed the FBI sting as "Operation Al-BET-ross." Joseph also details the difference between regulated markets and unregulated markets in sports gambling and how each could potentially lend itself to issues like the ones hitting the NBA. The three debate who would be the most surprising name to get caught up in a golf scandal before moving on to an update on the Bank of Utah Championship. Joseph believes this tournament is better than a handful of Signature Events and applauds the Tour for putting a "featured group" on the clock on Thursday morning. PJ shares an amusing comment from PGA Tour Live comparing Aldrich Potgieter to an all-time great as well. On the leaderboard, Thorbjorn Olesen found himself in the lead at the time of recording which provided plenty of joy for all involved in this recording. Brendan asks Joseph whether he's excited to attend the Good Good Championship in Austin next November after the announcement that the YouTubers will bring back "Big Break" to television. Joseph points out that Austin is "influencer city," so maybe Good Good has found the right market for its brand. The Sentry is officially canceled for 2026, but Kapalua is back open in mid-November anyway! The Sony Open will now kick off the 2026 season, and maybe rookies will actually make their way into the field. TGL unveiled its new green for the second season of the indoor league. Brendan is debating whether there's too much auxiliary golf content but The Boys are excited that Cameron Young has a chance to break his own record for the longest putt in TGL history. Brendan wraps up this episode with one quick Golf Advice question regarding a "Just A Guy" Halloween costume ahead of next week's costume extravaganza.

In this week's episode, we break down the strength of the current stock market—after several years of 20%+ returns, we're on track for another strong year with the market up 15% heading into the fourth quarter. We discuss companies posting record profits, the sheer number of all-time highs we've seen, and debate whether this momentum represents a new normal or just an anomaly.We also dig into the drama of a government shutdown—what sparked it, what really happens when Washington stalls, and what history tells us about the real impact on the economy. We'll focus on what really matters for your money, and talk about the broader consequences along with what it might take to prevent future standoffs.Why does the economy look strong on paper while so many people feel squeezed? We dig into the growing divide between the “haves” and “have-nots,” where the top 10% income earners drive nearly half of all spending while the middle class is getting squeezed out. From budget hotels struggling to fill rooms to luxury resorts booked solid, we'll explore what this bifurcation means for the economy—and for everyday investors.To wrap up the show, we're taking a sweet detour into the world of dirty soda—the over-the-top, syrup-and-cream-loaded drinks that are taking TikTok by storm. From candy add-ins to premade bottles and even specialty soda shops, we'll explore why everyone suddenly wants their soda “dirty” and what this trend says about today's foodie culture.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J. Barker, CWS®, and Kelly-Lynne Scalice, a seasoned communicator and host, on Henssler Money Talks as they explore key financial strategies to help investors navigate market uncertainty. Henssler Money Talks — October 4, 2025  |  Season 39, Episode 40Timestamps and Chapters7:22: On Track for A Strong Year 17:16: Shutdown Drama27:26: The Bifurcation of Economic Classes 44:13: Why Everyone Wants Their Soda “Dirty”Follow Henssler:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HensslerFinancial/ YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/c/HensslerFinancial LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/henssler-financial/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hensslerfinancial/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hensslerfinancial?lang=en X: https://www.x.com/hensslergroup  “Henssler Money Talks” is brought to you by Henssler Financial.

This week's pick to end season five continues our tradition of choosing a very fun and confusing Shaw Brothers film with 1982's Buddha's Palm. Points of interest include an ultra extendable mega leg, neon hand lasers galore, a boy that can shoot acidic goo from his face goiter, and the EAST ISLAND CHIEF!We also induct four more folks into the Terrible Delights Hall of Fame: Linnea Quigley, Joe Spinell, William Girdler, and Sonny Chiba.

This episode was recorded before NFL kickoff on Sunday, so Victory Monday for the Bears and Browns will have to wait. Andy is still licking his wounds from an ugly Illini loss to Indiana on Saturday night and wonders if winning out would still clinch a playoff spot. PJ is in high spirits after a Syracuse win in Death Valley and an early scouting trip to Bethpage on Saturday morning - only for the Jets to ruin everything again. We wrap up College Football Corner and discuss some wonderful coffee golf at the French Open (presented by FedEx) on Sunday. Michael Kim secured his first win since the 2018 John Deere Classic, edging out Elvis Smylie, Min Woo Lee, and Brooks Koepka. With Kim, Lee, and Koepka dropping in on the DP World Tour to great success, Brendan tries to draw some conclusions about where these fall fields stand overseas. Andy makes the case for a potential unification between the PGA Tour and DP World Tour that would have one points list and a stronger fall schedule. The LPGA had yet another unique result to uphold the streak - a cancelation of the tournament in Arkansas after 18 holes! Brendan has PJ share some scuttlebutt from the early merch preview at Bethpage, including some reporting about the famous sign - a favorite of Jason Garrett. In an actual bit of news, Rory McIlroy spoke with The Guardian and took his chance to pop Bryson DeChambeau ahead of a potential match this week. Rory also says he's "more confident" in a win for Europe now than he was when he made his guarantee in 2023. Andy and Brendan answer some listener questions about the Ryder Cup to close things out before traveling to the great state of New York for this week's festivities. Find our full Ryder Cup preview episode here on Wednesday night!

Mary Stone discusses the fascinating world of fungi, particularly Giant Puffball Mushrooms and Jack o' Lantern Mushrooms. She emphasizes the importance of proper identification for those who scavenge for wild mushrooms and shares the foolproof four suggested by Cabinlife.com. Additionally, Mary explains the concept of the Wood Wide Web, detailing the differences between mycorrhizal fungi and mycelium. Then concludes by reflecting on how we can learn from the natural world.

Send us a textCan a Disney snack be judged solely on taste, or do practical considerations like messiness and portability matter just as much when you're navigating a crowded theme park? This question forms the delicious core of our latest food-focused adventure where we play "Stop, Stroll, or Trash" with beloved Disney park treats.As we sip on our carefully recreated La Renina Cita cocktail from Magic Key Lounge (a complex blend of gin, Campari, pineapple, orgeat syrup, and lemon juice that delivers a sweet grapefruit hit followed by herbal bitterness), we sort Disney foods into three categories: those worth stopping to enjoy properly, those perfect for strolling while eating, and those we'd simply skip.The game reveals our strategic approach to Disney dining. Beignets earn high marks for sitting and savoring, while churros prove perfect strolling companions. Turkey legs face unanimous rejection—"I don't have time for a turkey leg" becomes our rallying cry against impractical park foods. Meanwhile, the breakfast Ronto Wrap from Galaxy's Edge earns the title of "best breakfast in the parks," and the carrot cake cookie from Hollywood Studios emerges as an unexpected favorite.Our most passionate debate erupts over Blue Milk from Galaxy's Edge, with one of us enjoying it while the other declares it "tastes like drinking perfume." We also discover that certain food combinations could create the perfect Disney snack experience—like pairing Jack Jack Cookie Num Nums with soft serve from the Abominable Snowman's shop.Whether you're planning your next Disney visit or simply enjoy food talk, our sometimes surprising, often passionate rankings offer both entertainment and practical advice for navigating the culinary landscape of Disney parks. After all, in a place where every minute counts, knowing which treats are worth your time might be the most valuable Disney tip of all.Here's who we are and what is in store for you

Dallas Willard asks, "How many people are radically and permanently repelled from The Way by Christians who are unfeeling, stiff, unapproachable, boringly lifeless, obsessive, and dissatisfied? Yet such Christians are everywhere . . ." bearing not the slightest resemblance to Jesus.  This sermon explores the spectrum of simple to profound enjoyments Jesus knew in His life and ministry, and suggests that Jesus is not the problem, but the solution to the problem as we make Him the leader of our emotional lives. The artwork associated with this sermon/podcast (viewable on the Epiclesis podcast page but not in the Apple app) is "Joy" by Yongsung Kim.

What does it mean to truly delight in God, beyond duty or obligation? In this final episode of the Safe in the Father's Heart series, Elizabeth and Kimberly explore the profound difference between serving God and delighting in Him—and how recognizing His delight in us transforms everything.Delighting in God, they explain, isn't about manufacturing happy feelings. "Delighting isn't something you've got to muster up." It's recognizing God's joy in you first, then responding. The hosts share practical ways to cultivate awareness of God's presence—from personalizing scripture promises to finding songs that speak His truth, from inviting Him into mundane tasks to simply making space to enjoy His company like you would a friend.The episode culminates with the powerful truth that our woundedness, when healed, becomes our greatest ministry tool. As "wounded healers," we can represent the Father's heart to others from a place of authenticity rather than obligation.Have you recognized God's delight in you today? How might that awareness change everything?
