“Is there really such a thing as too much money—and what would you do if you won the $1.25 billion lotto?”

Join hosts Rolf Jacobson, Karoline Lewis, and Matt Skinner as they explore the profound themes of divine guidance, resistance, and illumination in the story of the Magi for the Day of Epiphany, January 6th. This episode unpacks how the Magi's journey represents not just a physical pilgrimage but a theological model for following God's leading—even when it requires non-compliance with earthly powers and going "by another road."The conversation examines how Matthew's Gospel presents multiple pathways to knowing Jesus: through celestial signs, scriptural interpretation, and the accumulated wisdom of seekers from beyond Israel's borders. The hosts discuss the Magi's act of resistance when they refuse to return to Herod, highlighting how Christmas and Epiphany demand non-cooperation with tyrannical agendas. Dreams and divine warnings play crucial roles as God redirects the Magi and the Holy Family, demonstrating how God persistently seeks to guide us through various means.Drawing on Warren Carter's commentary, the discussion emphasizes how "the other way" the Magi take thwarts the tyrant's will and refuses cooperation with empire. The episode also explores the rich intertextuality between Matthew's narrative and the Old Testament readings, particularly Isaiah 61's themes of illumination and wealth, and Psalm 72's vision of an ideal Davidic king fulfilled in Jesus—a very different type of lordship than political dominance.The hosts wrestle with the nature of the Magi's act of prostration (proskuneo), discussing whether it represents worship, homage, respect, or political acknowledgment, and how this ambiguity enriches our understanding of who Jesus is. They also reflect on what it means to follow God when competing voices and apparent certainties pull us in different directions, acknowledging the human tendency to stop listening or refuse God's direction.

If you feel like you're slogging your guts out, and things aren't improving - this episode's for you.

The final Bourbon Bytes Podcast episode of 2025 is here, and it's a big one. In this episode, Clifton wraps up the year with honest reflections on the future of Bourbon Bytes, the bourbon industry heading into 2026, and a "Byte-Sized Review" of the brand-new Willett Family Estate Small Batch 4 Year Cask Strength Bourbon. Willett is one of the most polarizing names in whiskey, and this new four-year-old, cask strength release has sparked plenty of debate. Is it a promising step forward for Willett's own distillate, or does the price and presentation lean too hard on hype? Clifton breaks down the nose, palate, finish, value, and expectations while also sharing broader thoughts on availability, pricing, and what bourbon drinkers may see more of in the coming year. Whiskey news, honest reviews, and real talk to close out 2025. Cheers, and see you in 2026

Why is it often easier to know what we don't want than to ask for what we do?   In this episode, I'm joined by Paul Quinn, author of The Big Ask: Unlock the Possibilities in Your Work Life and Dreams with Courageous Requests. Paul began his career as an actor before moving into corporate training and writing, where he became fascinated by the moments that spark real change.   Today, we explore how identity, fear, and unspoken rules shape the choices we make. Paul also shares stories that show how a single, well-timed question can open doors we didn't know were there.   You'll hear about: How asking the right questions can help you reconnect with what you actually want Why redefining identity after work can feel so disorienting The trap of focusing on what we don't want (instead of naming what we do) How fear and perfectionism can limit what you're willing to try A simple question that can shift how we imagine what comes next   Mentioned Visit Paul's Website The Big Ask: Unlock the Possibilities in Your Work Life and Dreams with Courageous Requests Follow Paul on Facebook

Grand Tamasha is Carnegie's weekly podcast on Indian politics and policy co-produced with the Hindustan Times, a leading Indian media house. For six years (and counting), host Milan Vaishnav has interviewed authors, journalists, policymakers, and practitioners working on contemporary India to give listeners across the globe a glimpse into life in the world's most populous country.Each December, Milan looks back at the conversations we've hosted during the course of the year and selects a handful of books that stayed with him long after our recording wrapped. This year's selections span biography, history, and political economy—but they share a common thread: Each offers a bold reinterpretation of India at a moment of profound political and social churn.In keeping with this tradition, here—in no particular order—are Grand Tamasha's top books of 2025. A Sixth of Humanity: Independent India's Development OdysseyBy Devesh Kapur and Arvind Subramanian.

Published by Pan Macmillan India.Shattered Lands: Five Partitions and the Making of Modern AsiaBy Sam Dalrymple. Published by HarperCollins India.Taken together, these books showcase the breadth of scholarship animating debates on India and South Asia today. They remind us that the region's past remains contested, its present deeply complex, and its future still uncertain. I hope you find these conversations as stimulating and inspiring as I did.One final note here: As you consider your year-end charitable giving, we hope you will choose to support Grand Tamasha. This season, you might have noticed that we've expanded into video, allowing listeners to watch full-length conversations on YouTube.

In this episode of the BOB Podcast, Jaryd Krause chats with David C. Barnett—author, educator, and all-around small-business acquisition pro. David’s spent 11 years making straightforward videos about buying, selling, and running small businesses, and he’s seen it all. They dive into what most first-time buyers totally miss—like how a “simple” service business pulling in $300–400k a year can still hit you with $10k in unexpected repairs, or how a business that seems hands-off can take up way more mental energy than you expect.

In this episode of The Timeout, Dwyane Wade and Bob dive into accountability, leadership, and the standards it takes to win — both in the NBA and in everyday life. Wade breaks down his frustration with the Miami Heat after a tough loss, emphasizing defensive effort, culture, and why holding teammates accountable isn’t always comfortable. That leads into a conversation about Chris Paul as a true “accountability locker room guy,” and how organizations sometimes fail legends by not handling transitions the right way. Beyond basketball, Wade talks about launching On the Fly with Dwyane Wade: Life in Motion, sharing why owning his narrative matters and how the series shows his life behind the scenes. He opens up about fatherhood, being more present with Kaavia, and his desire to build a real community for dads. The episode also touches on relationship effort, the importance of the small things, the Chicago Bears finally building a foundation, praise for Shedeur Sanders’ leadership, and a few light moments about Wade’s dog, Trey, plus his work in art and his golf lifestyle brand, Ace.

A potential public disgrace, a private dream, and one heck of a birth announcement! As we come to the close of Advent, Peter Walsh, Elizabeth Garnsey, and John Kennedy explore Joseph's angelic visitation. What would the cost have been for Joseph to break to break off his engagement, what do we miss by not reading Jesus' genealogy, and how will Jesus as "Emmanuel" be the fulfillment of God's desire for us?Questions for Further Discussion:Themes and ApplicationMuch attention is given to Joseph as a central figure—his righteousness, his discernment, and his quiet obedience. What stands out to you about Joseph's role in this story?The genealogy in Matthew includes figures marked by scandal, outsider status, or complexity. Why do you think Matthew intentionally highlights these “messy” ancestors at the very start of the Gospel?Peter noted that Matthew presents Jesus as both Son of David and Son of God. How do you hear these two identities working together in the story?Personal ReflectionJoseph wrestles internally before receiving clarity through a dream. Can you recall a time when you had to make a difficult decision before having all the answers?Dreams in Scripture are described as moments of divine communication rather than random mental activity. How open are you to the idea that God might speak through unexpected or liminal experiences?Elizabeth notes that Joseph never speaks in the Gospel—he simply acts. How comfortable are you with faithful action that goes unseen or unacknowledged?Broader Spiritual ConsiderationsThe clergy describe Jesus' birth as a new act of creation, echoing Genesis. What does it mean to think of salvation as God doing something entirely new rather than fixing something old?The discussion raises questions about how Christians read Jewish Scripture responsibly. What responsibilities do we have when interpreting sacred texts that are shared across traditions?As Advent draws to a close, how does this passage invite you to wait differently—not just for Christmas, but for God's presence in everyday life?Want to have your question or comment featured on the podcast?

Could this be peak Frank? Sinatra at the Sands captures the energy, the cool, and the incredible voice that made this crooner so iconic. Backed by the Count Basie Orchestra with arrangements by a young Quincy Jones, this live album still swings 60 years later!Sinatra at the Sands was recorded at a moment when Sinatra was emerging from a slump. Rock and roll dominated the airwaves, the Beatles were redefining popular music and crooning just wasn't cool anymore. But this album, recorded live in Vegas, shows a 50-year-old Frank sounding loose, confident, and completely at home in front of a band that swings like nothing else. Listen with us as we break down and react to the best of this swingin' album.Start your free Open Studio trial for ALLLLL your jazz lesson needs: https://osjazz.link/yhi   00:00 - Intro Jam: Fly Me To the Moon01:35 - The Sinatra-Basie Episode!03:45 - Is This Peak Frank?05:45 - The Mid-60s Culture Shift07:45 - "Come Fly With Me" 12:00 - The Quincy Influence14:45 - "I've Got You Under My Skin"17:30 - What To Listen For22:30 - "The Shadow of Your Smile"26:20 - Freddie Green's "Chunking" Technique28:15 - Sinatra's Vocal Gift33:30 - "Street of Dreams"35:50 - "One For My Baby (And One More for the Road)"38:40 - "Fly Me To the Moon"45:00 - "One O'Clock Jump"49:50 - Desert Island Tracks54:05 - Apex Moments59:05 - Categories1:03:20 - Coming Up Next Week

By most standards, Keelee had a straightforward first birth experience with a midwife at her birth center. But something about it troubled her enough that she wanted to debrief the birth afterward—and when she did, the midwife said something shocking. This sparked a deep dive into the world of freebirth, which she soon came to believe was the only "right" way to give birth. She even enrolled in a radical birthkeeper school, convinced she wanted to support women outside the medical system. But the first birth she attended was a humbling experience that ended in a transfer and a cesarean section. This prompted Keelee to step back and reconsider, realizing her belief in freebirth had become too dogmatic.  Find Keelee on Instagram @radicalflowhealthcare  If you love the show, I would greatly appreciate a review on  Spotify or Apple Podcasts!  Follow me on Instagram @healingbirth Do you have a birth story you'd like to share on the podcast, or would like to otherwise connect?

In the quiet suburbs of Pasadena, California, Jermaine Ee found himself at a crossroads—not his own, but his parents'. As the oldest of four siblings, Jermaine had always admired the grit of his immigrant parents, who in their twenties packed their bags and left their homelands for a new life in Oklahoma of all places. "I don't think I fully appreciated how big of a decision that was until I turned 30 myself," Jermaine reflected during a recent conversation on the Positive Aging Community podcast, hosted by Steve Gurney. "At 30 years old, my parents separately, individually from two different places, decided to pack their bags and move to this country... especially going to a place where nobody looked like them."That sense of bold reinvention would echo through Jermaine's family story, shaping not just their past but their approach to aging, loss, and what comes next. What began as casual chats about retirement evolved into profound trips, heartbreaking realizations, and even a new tech startup aimed at helping others plan their legacies. Jermaine's tale is a raw reminder: Time is finite, dreams are personal, and the best way to honor our loved ones is to listen—really listen—before it's too late.

In this episode, Rachel Hollis emphasizes the importance of safeguarding early dreams from external criticism and skepticism. She highlights how initial dreams are fragile and can be easily crushed by doubts, even those from well-meaning loved ones.
