We're incorrigible Genesis fans. We hail every bit of output from 1970 to 1978. We even go further than that. But here, for episode 127, we stop and lovingly gaze at the band's final album of the '70s, the first after the departure of guitarist Steve Hackett, and a work that some mark as the band's departure from prog rock. Not so, say we! Spectral, ghostly, gauzy, playful, lush as all get-out...and total prog.

Join us for a conversation with Sarah DeBlock, author and founder of Soma Yoga Healing Center in Alexandria, Virginia. Sarah's new memoir, The Year of Sarah: From Heartbroken to Happy and the Long Distance in Between  was released this month. The Year of Sarah is a memoir of transformation, where Sarah invites readers to join her for the year that redefined her understanding of love and self. In the midst of a long-distance relationship and the heartbreak that follows, Sarah embarks on a deeply personal journey - one that ultimately leads her back to her heart. Through the practice of yoga, Sarah discovers that the path to healing is not just about overcoming loss, but about investing in her own self-evolution. As she learns to let go of attachment and embrace personal growth, her story becomes a testament to the power of turning inward during life's most challenging moments.Sarah's book speaks to anyone who has ever felt lost in love or disconnected from their true self. By reflecting on her own journey Sarah holds up a mirror for others to see themselves reflected in her experiences, reminding us that healing and connection come from the courage to share our stories.In this episode, Sarah and Jess compare notes on the challenges and triumphs of the memoir-writing process, and discuss why they both are personally drawn to memoir as readers. As a small business owner, Sarah emphasizes the value in building one's network within a local community and beyond in order to get the message out about one's story. This podcast is hosted by Jessica Buchanan, a NYT Bestselling author, speaker, survivor and founder of Soul Speak Press.

Hey Anon listeners! We wanted to share another podcast we think you'll love about Australia's childcare crisis. It's called At What Cost? When is a choice not a choice? Almost a quarter of Australia’s population is now living in a ‘childcare desert’ - and this scarcity means that many families’ financial and work schedules hinge on being offered a childcare spot in the first place. In this episode, we hear from real parents and experts about the near-impossible workarounds for families who can’t access suitable childcare and can’t afford not to work: from regional mum Kelly, who forked out for a private carer when the local childcare refused her son full days of care, to agricultural workers taking their kids to work on the farm. At What Cost is an FW podcast in partnership with The Parenthood, a not-for-profit with a mission to make Australia the best place in the world to be a parent and raise a child.

This seemingly impossible feat might be a reality sooner rather than later. A pioneering study from the Xi'an University of Technology has shown that industrial-scale solar farms in desert areas can actually improve soil quality, boost vegetation growth, and create a healthier microclimate. So far, this challenges the common perception that huge solar parks destroy their surrounding ecosystems. Listen to the full episode...

The Bookmobile will visit schools, ensuring equitable access to books for all students.

Desert At some point in our lives, we will find ourselves in the desert. A place of heat and barrenness. We're talking about the Mojave or Sahara in July, not Palm Springs. The word desert is the Hebrew word “midbar” which comes from the root word “dabar” meaning “to speak.” The Lord speaks to us in those desert places. It's where everything we rely upon for comfort is stripped from us. Things we thought we needed but realized we didn't. Things that may have kept us from hearing God speak. Deserts aren't comfortable. But deserts can be very educational. Not all of our deserts are the same. For some, it might look like caring for a loved one for a long time. For others, it might be dealing with an extended illness. Or perhaps financial challenge. Or a season of no writing productivity. Maybe a season of depression. A divorce, death of a spouse, a season of one rejection after another where you can't seem to win for losing. Maybe moving to an area where you don't know anyone. Deuteronomy 32:10-12 Where is God when we find ourselves in a desert? Initially, we feel alone, forgotten, and vulnerable. What if we placed our own names there in verse 10? God does 4 things when He places us in a desert: He surrounds us He watches over us He guards us (like the pupil of His eye) He guides us (He alone) Moses was a man acquainted with the desert. Interesting that the Lord put Moses in a desert for 40 years before putting him in another desert as the leader of God's people where they wandered for 40 years. Deuteronomy 8:2-5 - We learn what we're truly made of in the desert. The Lord doesn't place us in the desert to ruin us. He does it to refine us. Moses went from being advanced in hieroglyphics and Egyptian sciences, one of Pharaoh's elect to tending sheep in an obscure part of the desert. Talk about humility 101! Each of our deserts will look a little different but serve the same purpose of humbling & refining us to be more effective Kingdom writers.   Resources: If you're ready to take a step of faith and finally finish your book we have a few ways we can help you.  1.

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com

Deserts may feel empty and bleak to us, but from a biblical perspective, they're places of renewal. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses breakthroughs in desert seasons, or those hard times when it feels like we don't have the resources or strength to move forward. Looking at the biblical messaging surrounding deserts, Pastor Allen shows that God's intervention often emerges from those desert seasons, initiating renewal in our lives. Our nation needs renewal, and while it may feel like we're in the desert now, being obedient to change and realign our priorities will transform our future. Pastor Allen shares stories of biblical people like Zechariah and Elizabeth, Hannah and Samson, and Abraham and Isaac to demonstrate the importance of generational faith. Let's reignite the faith of our generations, asking God to intervene and renew our nation.   To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world, visit this link: allenjackson.com/podcastdonate
