In this special Christmas episode of Hidden Wisdom, Meghan is joined by scholar and author Donna Nielsen for a breathtaking exploration of Mother Mary's true identity, her lineage, her temple upbringing, and the ancient traditions that honor her far beyond the biblical text.Drawing from Christian apocrypha, Islamic scripture, German folktales, early temple traditions, Renaissance iconography, and Middle Eastern lineage records, Donna reveals a side of Mary rarely talked about. This is a beautiful, expansive, and deeply reverent journey into Mary's life and mission—the perfect Christmas episode for anyone wanting deeper spiritual understanding.Timestamps 00:00–04:00 | Introduction 04:00–06:00 | Protestant vs. Catholic Mary 06:00–13:00 | How stories honor real people without always being factual 13:00–16:00 | Maternal lineage 16:00–27:00 | Prophecy of the tree, branch, flower, and fruit of light 27:00–29:00 | Story of Anna and Joachim  29:00–32:00 | Early childhood portrayals of Mary 32:00–35:00 | Temple customs, Mary's purity traditions, and symbolic upbringing 35:00–38:00 | Presentation of Mary at the temple: Christian and Muslim narratives 38:00–40:00 | Mary's weaving 40:00–43:00 | Annunciation symbolism 43:00–46:00 | Women at wells 46:00–48:00 | Mary entering the Holy of Holies 48:00–50:00 | Oldest image of Mary 50:00–53:00 | Mary in Islam 53:00–56:00 | Islamic art and symbolism 56:00–59:00 | Mary the New Eve  59:00–01:03:00 | Nativity traditions 01:03:00–01:06:00 | The three Marys 01:06:00–01:10:00 | Dormition, Assumption, and ancient beliefs about Mary's death 01:10:00–01:12:00 | Mary in Latter-day Saint tradition and limited portrayal 01:12:00–01:16:00 | Mary as the Virgin in the Book of Mormon 01:16:00–01:19:00 | Virgin: meanings beyond sexuality  01:19:00–01:23:00 | Colors, flowers, fruits, and symbolic art of Mary 01:23:00–01:28:00 | Shell and pearl symbolism 01:28:00–01:32:00 | Medieval chants and Mary's collaborative role with Christ 01:32:00–End | Closing symbolism: milk, blood, tears, and divine compassionAdditional Resources: The Protoevangelium of James - Reading by Meghan FarnerHoly Child Jesus by Donna NielsenLearn more at donna-connections.blogspot.com Thank you for listening to Hidden Wisdom!

Have you ever had an idea so big after your divorce that you thought, “Okay… this might be a little crazy… but also maybe it's exactly right?”That's the energy inside this week's episode, "Get Delulu After Divorce."“Delulu” is Gen Z's fun way of saying you're dreaming bigger than feels logical… on purpose. It's that bold, slightly wild belief that the life you really want might actually be possible now.And my guest, Jen Polt, confidence coach and creator of Glossed World, knows this feeling well. At 50, she walked away from her corporate career at Chanel to chase a dream that felt exciting, risky, and a little unbelievable. Then life handed her a plot twist that would make any screenwriter proud.In this episode, Jen and I talk about what it looks like to bet on yourself after divorce, even when the dream feels a little delulu in the best way. The kind that asks you to think bigger, try something new, and trust the tug toward a life that feels more like you.If you've been craving a nudge to follow that big, brave idea you keep pretending isn't there, this episode is for you.Learn more about Jen After 25 years climbing the corporate ladder as a top performing salesperson, educator, and leadership coach for one of the most prestigious brands in the world, she realized success did not feel like fulfillment. The quiet restlessness she felt in her 40s grew louder until she could no longer ignore it. She made a bold shift, rebuilt her life, and stepped into the work she was truly meant to do, helping women trust their fire, own their shine, and go after the more they know is meant for them.Visit Jen's Website: Follow Jen on Social Media: @makingupforglossedtimeCelebrate the holidays and your freedom with Sadie's Divorced & Happy merch.

In this episode of PennyWise, host John Kiernan and guest Luke Powers discuss the latest trends in charitable giving, how listeners can make the biggest impact with their contributions, and strategies for avoiding scams. With the burden of inflation, high debt levels, and an uncertain job market, many people feel like they can’t afford to give back, and charitable organizations are struggling to get enough funding. But if you make the right moves, you can still make the world a better place, even with limited funds. We’ll help with that by covering the best charities by category, organizations to avoid and much more. John answers some of your questions, too.

What if the support you keep hoping to get from someone else… is actually something you can give yourself?In this episode, I sit down with Leah Marie Mazur to talk about the shift that happens when you stop looking to someone else to make you feel secure, seen, or settled. After divorce, it's so easy to think you're missing something — but often, what you're really missing is your own presence.Leah and I explore the early messages we were handed about love and worth, the ones that shaped how we showed up in our marriages, and the moment you finally notice that you've been trained to search outside yourself for things you're fully capable of giving.We get honest about grief and disappointment too — the real “I didn't get what I needed” moments — and how to honor them without living in them. Leah shares simple ways to steady yourself, ground yourself, and start meeting your own needs in a way that feels doable, not overwhelming.And because the holidays can stir up all kinds of old stories, we talk about how to navigate that “something's missing” feeling and create comfort and connection for yourself, even if this is your first season on your own.If you're ready to feel more anchored, more capable, and more in charge of your emotional world, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.Learn more about Leah: Leah Marie Mazur is a Certified Divorce Recovery Coach, and the founder of Mindfully Ready and co-creator of The Next Chapter membership. She specializes in helping divorced moms heal, rebuild self-esteem, and co-parent with confidence after high-conflict breakups.

In this episode of Hidden Wisdom, Meghan Farner sits down with Steve Pynakker, creator of Mormon Book Reviews and one of the most unique bridge-builders in the religious landscape. Steve shares his lifelong fascination with the Restoration, his journey through evangelical Christianity, atheism, and back into a reconstructed faith, and the spiritual insights he's gained across traditions.Together, Meghan and Steve explore the feminine and masculine elements of religion, personal revelation, the role of mystical experience, faith crises, and why genuine connection with God often requires stepping outside institutional boundaries. They dive into the tension between apologetics and Christlike love, the dangers of zeal without compassion, and the shared work of healing religious division.This heartfelt and challenging conversation invites listeners to seek God beyond labels, recognize the divine image in every person, and cultivate a faith centered on love, humility, and spiritual authenticity.Timestamps & Episode Structure00:00–02:10 | Introduction02:10–07:30 | How Steve Entered the Mormon World07:30–13:00 | Faith Deconstruction and Atheism13:00–16:20 | Looking for Christ Instead of Faults16:20–22:10 | The Ego Death of Faith Crisis22:10–28:00 | Masculine and Feminine in Religion28:00–33:20 | Toxicity, Power, and the Danger of Misused Zeal33:20–38:00 | Responsibility as a Public Voice38:00–44:40 | Where Apologetics Goes Wrong44:40–52:30 | The Mirror: Calling Communities to Repentance52:30–56:40 | The Three Questions That Transform Dialogue56:40–59:00 | Closing Reflections: Love as the Center Thank you for listening to Hidden Wisdom!

Donating to charitable organizations is a powerful expression of kindness and a meaningful opportunity to educate those around us, particularly younger generations. Giving back to our communities not only provides support to those in need but also fosters a sense of connection and responsibility that is essential for a thriving society.   Links: Check out TCU University for financial education tips and resources! Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter! Learn more about Triangle Credit Union   Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast.        During the gift-giving season, it's essential to consider the transformative potential of supporting local service providers dedicated to uplifting underserved communities. These organizations, often run by passionate individuals who have devoted their lives to making a difference, offer vital services such as food, shelter, toys, and clothing for children, transitional housing for families in crisis, and support for veterans. By contributing to these initiatives, you are not only assisting those in immediate need but also energizing local economies and encouraging community solidarity.  Participating in charitable giving also fosters a profound sense of fulfillment. It is common to feel uncertain about the appropriate gifts for family and friends during the holiday season, often questioning, "Do they really need more clothing or gadgets?" However, when you choose to donate to a charity in someone's name, it transforms the act of gift-giving into something truly meaningful. This ensures that the gift resonates deeply, providing support to those who genuinely need it rather than adding to the clutter of material possessions. This approach is especially significant for older family members who understand the value of thoughtfulness and community support, while younger relatives may take a little longer to grasp the concept but will come to appreciate it as they grow.  Furthermore, donating to charities creates invaluable teachable moments with the younger members of our families. Children are keen observers, learning from the actions of their parents and other family members. Whether donating money, tangible items like clothing or food, or dedicating time to a charitable organization, these selfless acts impart important lessons about generosity, empathy, and community involvement. Engage children by asking, "Would you like to participate in this?" If they express interest, nurture their willingness, guiding them through the act of giving. If they decline or seem indifferent, use this moment as an opportunity to communicate the importance of philanthropy, explaining why helping others is vital. This allows them to arrive at their own understanding of generosity and perhaps inspire them to take action in the future.  Moreover, while the emotional aspects of giving are significant, it is essential to recognize the practical benefits associated with charitable donations. Charitable organizations function as non-profits, which means that donations are often tax-deductible. Those who itemize their taxes should request receipts for their contributions, as this can maximize the potential benefits of their donations. It's a win-win situation where you can give back to the community while also reaping financial rewards during tax season.   For those seeking to make an impact, a simple online search can reveal local charities that are eager for support and donations. Whether it's a food bank, an animal shelter, or a program supporting at-risk youth, countless organizations are making a difference in your community, and your contribution can be the catalyst for positive change.   Finally, consider involving your friends, co-workers, or social circles in your charitable efforts. Organizing a donation drive or volunteering as a group can not only amplify your impact but also strengthen your bonds and foster a culture of giving among your peers. In a time where social media often highlights consumerism, sharing your charitable ventures can inspire others to join in and spread the spirit of philanthropy.  By embracing the practice of charitable giving, we not only enrich the lives of those we help but also create a legacy of compassion that can be passed down through generations.   If there are any other tips or topics you'd like us to cover, let us know at tcupodcast@trianglecu.org.

We hear about a rare meeting between a living organ donor and the child whose life was transformed by receiving her kidney. Aly Coyle says she was delighted to see 5-year-old Xavier happy and healthy after the transplant. His parents tracked her down through social media to say thank you, and describe her as an angel who's now part of their family. Also: how a new machine could dramatically increase the number of liver transplants, by improving the way the organs are stored outside the body. A media company run for and by young disabled people that's hoping to challenge stereotypes and promote discussion. A grand prix with a difference - why cows, and their riders, race through a small Swiss village. Plus: the newly rediscovered works of Bach that have been performed for the first time in over three hundred years. And why more men are taking up knitting. Our weekly collection of inspiring, uplifting and happy news from around the world.

I've thrown money at a few sponsorships over the years as an electrician, and looking back, most of it never moved the needle for my electrical business. In this episode I talk honestly about what happened when I sponsored a local soccer team, slapped my logo on a rally car, and watched other sparkies set up fancy market stalls hoping for leads. Some things look like marketing, but they're really just expensive ego boosts. If you're a sparky trying to build a proper business engine, this one will get you thinking differently about where your money actually works for you.

In Case You Missed It...

If you've ever wished your giving could be both simpler and more strategic, there's a powerful tool worth knowing about: the donor-advised fund, or DAF for short.Generosity isn't just about how much you give—it's about the heart behind it. As Paul reminds us in 2 Corinthians 9:7, “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”Wise stewardship allows us to align our giving with God's purposes, using tools that help us maximize our Kingdom impact. A donor-advised fund—when used rightly—can help you do both: give joyfully and steward resources efficiently.What Is a Donor-Advised Fund?Think of a DAF as a charitable checking account designed to support the causes you care about. You contribute cash, stock, or other assets, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants to ministries or charities on your timetable.In other words, it separates the act of giving from the act of distributing. You might contribute during a high-income year or before selling an asset to take advantage of tax benefits, while taking time to decide where those dollars should go prayerfully.Behind the scenes, your DAF is managed by a sponsoring organization. At FaithFi, we recommend the National Christian Foundation (NCF)—one of the largest and most trusted Christian providers, founded by Larry Burkett and Ron Blue. NCF handles the record-keeping, issues the grants, and provides online tools to manage your giving.Suppose you plan to sell a business or a piece of real estate that would normally result in a significant capital gain. By donating it to your donor-advised fund before the sale, you can avoid paying capital gains tax, allowing more of the donation to go directly to Kingdom purposes.You receive an immediate tax deduction for the full value of your gift since it's considered an irrevocable charitable contribution. The funds can be invested for potential growth while you prayerfully decide which ministries to support—or you can give immediately.When you're ready, you simply recommend a grant, such as $10,000, to your church or a mission organization. The DAF sponsor verifies the charity and then sends the gift—either in your name or anonymously.The Benefits of a Donor-Advised FundDonor-advised funds have become the fastest-growing vehicle for charitable giving in America, and for good reason. They combine flexibility, simplicity, and intentionality—all with a focus on Kingdom impact.Here are some of the key advantages:Simplicity – One contribution can fund all your charitable giving, with a single tax receipt and one dashboard to track every grant.Tax Efficiency – Receive your deduction when you contribute, not when you give. Donating appreciated assets can help avoid capital gains taxes, increasing the amount that goes to ministry.Flexibility – Give now and decide later where the funds should go, allowing generosity even as you discern where God is leading.Legacy Planning – Name successors—such as children or grandchildren—to carry on your legacy of generosity.Focus on Mission – Since the administration is handled for you, you can focus your energy on prayerfully deciding where to give.Important Limitations to ConsiderNo giving tool is perfect. Here are a few things to keep in mind:Irrevocability – Once you contribute to a DAF, it's a completed gift—you can't take the funds back.Qualified Recipients – Grants can only be made to IRS-approved charities, not individuals or political causes.Timing of Impact – Funds can remain in the account for years, which may delay charitable impact.At FaithFi, we encourage believers to use DAFs for timely generosity rather than indefinite storage. A DAF is meant to organize your giving, not to hold back what God has already called you to release.Why FaithFi Recommends NCFThere are many donor-advised fund providers—but not all share your faith commitments. That's why we recommend the National Christian Foundation (NCF).NCF doesn't just process gifts; they walk with donors in prayer and biblical wisdom. Their Giving Funds simplify generosity, reduce tax burdens, and amplify Kingdom impact. They can even accept complex, non-cash gifts, such as real estate, business interests, or agricultural assets.More importantly, NCF's team seeks to help every believer become a joyful, generous steward who advances the Gospel through wise giving.To learn more or to open your own Giving Fund, visit FaithFi.com/NCF. You can set up your fund in just minutes. And if you'd like a trusted financial advisor to guide you in the process, visit FindaCKA.com.At the end of the day, a donor-advised fund is just a tool—but in the hands of a faithful steward, it becomes a powerful way to partner with God in His work.When our giving flows from gratitude and trust, every dollar becomes a declaration: God owns it all, and we are His stewards.That's what it means to give with joy, wisdom, and eternal purpose.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My husband was recently diagnosed with a serious health condition, and we're trying to decide whether it's wise to downsize our home. We currently owe about $198,000, but we're also looking at another house for $137,500. With today's interest rates, we could do a 15-, 20-, or 30-year loan. If my husband's income were to go away, would it be smarter to stay where we are or move to the smaller home with a lower payment?I'm 61 and wondering whether I should withdraw money from my 401(k) to pay off my car loan instead of taking out a new one. I've been looking at my budget and income, and I'm not sure if that's the best move. What do you think?My husband recently passed away. He had an IRA worth a little under $70,000, and I have one too. My financial advisor suggested that I roll his IRA into mine—can I do that, and would that be the best approach? Also, our home is in an irrevocable living trust. Am I allowed to sell it, or does it have to stay in the trust?Our term life insurance policy is set to expire soon. We could cash it out or roll it into a whole life policy, but we already have enough life insurance. With a child heading to college in about a year and a half, we're wondering if there's a smart way to put that money into savings for college without taking a big tax hit.Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)National Christian Foundation (NCF)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions every workday at (800) 525-7000.

After divorce, which stand-up choices really count?This week I'm joined by comedian, writer, and director Jay Larson, who's been making audiences laugh for 24 years. When his marriage ended right before the pandemic, Jay made intentional choices to give his kids a different story than the one he grew up with after his parents' divorce. His story is honest, funny, and so relatable.As you listen, I invite you to think about your own stand-up choices. Which ones have been hard won? Which ones are you rethinking? Jay's experience just might mirror something in your own life — whether it's how you talk about your ex, what you choose to share (or not share) about your divorce, or simply the words you use to describe your life now.This conversation kept evolving well beyond the questions I asked. Jay talks about the impact of words, what it means to stand up for your kids and your values, and the everyday choices that shape who we are after divorce. It's funny, vulnerable, and so relatable.

In this week's episode of the Rich Habits Podcast, Robert Croak and Austin Hankwitz answer your questions!---

What if the secret to dating after divorce isn't who you meet… but who you are when you're with them? In this episode, I'm joined by dating coach Erika Ettin, founder of A Little Nudge. Since 2011 she has been helping people navigate online dating from the very first click to the first date, with her work featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, NPR, and CBS.Together we explore how to date like a force after divorce. We dig into the most important question to ask yourself: “Do I like me when I'm with them?” Erika shares simple wins you can try right away, how to recognize the red flags in your own patterns that might be holding you back, and what's really happening with today's dating trends. She also answers the big question about dating apps — are they on their way out?

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek brought to you by Topo Athletic, we are joined by social media and YouTube sensation, Liz “Handstand” Kidder. Liz is a thru-hiker, vlogger, dreadlock artist, former skydiving fanatic, and a handstand-expert. Liz gives us her full story, including the events that lead to her becoming sober in 2014, how she nearly died in a horrifying skydive gone wrong, how the internet got way too much into her biz almost immediately into her thru-hiking journey, the time she donated a kidney, and we make her choose which trail reigns supreme between the AT and PCT- for which she does not hesitate to pick a winner. We wrap the show with why you shouldn't wear underwear on a thru-hike, a call for 2026 Blogger applications, which is better- hiking steep and short and long and steady, I offer a REPEAT stupid thing of the week, and we do the triple crown of things we'd step in barefoot.  Topo Athletic: Use code “TREKFALL15” at topoathletic.com.
