Why should pastors and church leaders invest in revitalizing dying churches instead of closing their doors? In this episode of the Revitalize & Replant podcast, Mark Clifton and Mark Hallock unpack the biblical, missional, and practical reasons why church revitalization and replanting are vital to the health of local congregations and their communities. This conversation explores the heart behind revitalization and why declining churches remain important to God, their communities, and the Great Commission. In this episode, you'll learn why church revitalization is important because: Revitalization creates gospel opportunities for people to come to faith in Jesus Christ. The remaining members of declining churches still matter and deserve faithful pastoral care. Local neighborhoods need healthy, gospel-centered churches. Revitalizing churches ultimately exists for the glory of God. Whether you are a pastor considering church revitalization, a leader in a struggling congregation, or someone exploring church replanting, this episode offers encouragement and clarity for the journey.

Imagine all your dreams coming true at the age of 18. It's a real possibility for snowboarder Hanna Percy. The athlete from Truckee, California, is the youngest member of the U.S. female snowboard cross team. Typically, elite snowboarders earn a place on the U.S. Development Team before moving to the Pro Team and then onto an Olympic Team. Hanna's results were so good that she skipped the development level and went straight to the pro team. Now, at 18, she has a shot at representing Team USA at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics. Hanna says, "We have six girls competing for three spots right now." Hanna's parents were pro snowboarders in the 1990s. Their daughter's talent and need for speed showed up early.  Her mother, Kim Percy, remembers "she was probably 10 when she passed me on the hill. It's like her board is a connection to her feet." Hanna left Northern California when she was 16 and enrolled at the prestigious Gould Academy, where her snowboarding results soared. The small co-ed academy in Western Maine is a favorite for winter sports athletes with Olympic ambitions. The move paid off. The environment allowed her to finish high school while launching her pro career. In person, Hanna is incredibly likable and friendly. But on the snow she's known for a grit and fierce need to win that's propelling her career at record speed. "I just like, kind of have to win," Hanna admits. But there a playful side too.  And, it's evident in every start gate where she Macarenas to loosen up and lessen the stress! On this Dying to Ask - The Road to Milan-Cortina: How to fuel your own competitive spirit How an 18 year old rose so quickly in snowboard cross and who taught this Gen Zer to Macarena?  How Hanna stays grounded when life and it's possibilities seem endless right now And my favorite attribute: grit. Where Hanna's comes from and the mentor who taught her how to dig in

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan and Cameron engage in a deep theological discussion on the New York MAID Act (Medical Aid in Dying) and what medically assisted suicide means for Christians thinking faithfully about current events. From a Christian bioethics perspective, they explore end-of-life ethics, the sanctity and intrinsic value of human life, and how cultural ideas of autonomy, rights, happiness, and suffering are shaping moral decision-making—even within the church. Drawing on Scripture, Christian tradition, and real-world pastoral experience, Nathan and Cameron examine whether pro-life convictions can remain consistent from birth to death, why assisted suicide is gaining cultural acceptance, and how Christians can recover a robust theology of suffering, death, and hope in the resurrection. This episode is for Christians seeking serious theological reflection on medical ethics, assisted dying laws, and how to live and think Christianly in a rapidly changing society.DONATE LINK: https://toltogether.com/donate BOOK A SPEAKER: https://toltogether.com/book-a-speakerJOIN TOL CONNECT: https://toltogether.com/tol-connect TOL Connect is an online forum where TOL listeners can continue the conversation begun on the podcast.

You can have liver damage for decades without any signs of liver failure. Spotting these 7 early signs of liver disease could save your life. Find out about the signs your liver is dying so you can act before it's too late.0:00 Introduction: 7 signs your liver is dying0:32 The real cause of liver damage 1:14 7 liver dying symptoms3:05 Right shoulder pain4:06 Itchy skin and liver disease 5:16 Swollen abdomen and liver problems6:57 Reversing liver damage 8:22 How to improve liver health quickly Your liver is the hardest-working organ in your body, and the only major organ that can completely regenerate.Here are 7 liver warning signs that may indicate liver damage before the issue becomes too severe.1. Waking up between 2 and 3 a.m. A dysfunctional liver causes excessive blood sugar swings at night. A steep drop in blood sugar while you're sleeping spikes adrenaline, which will wake you up.2. Right shoulder painWhen the liver is damaged, bile production slows down, leading to sluggish and clogged bile ducts. This can cause referred pain in the right shoulder. 3. Bruise easilyThe liver makes clotting factors, so if it's damaged, you may find that you bruise more easily. 4. ItchingItching at night, particularly on the bottom of the feet and other parts of the body, can be caused by excess bile that backs up in the liver. 5. Low tolerance to alcoholPeople with liver problems can not efficiently break down alcohol, which causes more toxicity in the body.6. Fat belly/skinny legs A protruding belly is usually caused by an advanced form of liver damage called ascites, where fluid begins to build up in the abdomen. This is often associated with legs that are skinny due to muscle loss. 7. Brain irritationWhen the liver is damaged, you can't effectively break down protein, which causes a backup of ammonia. This affects cognitive function and personality, leading to irritability, temper issues, brain fog, and difficulty focusing.You can go from a severely damaged liver to a healthy liver within weeks by avoiding hidden sugars in your diet!Try these 7 tips to improve liver health and reverse liver damage:1. Stop snacking2. Eliminate sugar, starch, and seed oils 3. Eat more high-quality meat and vegetables4. Go to sleep earlier5. Choose organic foods6. Consume cruciferous vegetables7.

The 2017 slaughterhouse escape of six steers turned "The St. Louis Six" into animal rescue celebrities and inspired an expansion of the California-based nonprofit Gentle Barn to Missouri. But the sanctuary's abrupt closure in October 2024 left its former volunteers and staff feeling abandoned. In this encore edition of a St. Louis on the Air episode that first aired March 6, producer Danny Wicentowski goes inside the final days of the sanctuary's existence and the aftermath of its closure. The investigation confirms the deaths of five former residents of Missouri's Gentle Barn. We also hear from Gentle Barn co-founder Ellie Laks, who defends the decision to close and addresses the animal deaths at the nonprofit's Tennessee sanctuary.

One that is becoming more prevalent amongst Irish men. This is episode one.The documentary highlights the unique risk factors facing men, who may be suffering with an eating disorder such as over-exercising, over reliance on supplements and the use of steroids in the pursuit of the body beautiful.

Are near-death experiences proof of an afterlife — or just the brain's final fireworks? Michael Regilio goes into the light to find out on Skeptical Sunday!Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by skeptic, comedian, and podcaster Michael Regilio!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1263On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:Near-death experiences are real experiences — but that doesn't make them supernatural. NDEs happen to ordinary people during medical crises, and while skeptics question the metaphysical claims, no one disputes the profound personal impact. These aren't grifts or delusions — they're genuine neurological events that often leave people calmer, kinder, and less afraid of death.The "tunnel of light" isn't universal — it's cultural. Western NDEs feature tunnels and beings of light, but Buddhist and Hindu experiencers often describe rivers, bridges, or ancestors. This cultural filtering suggests NDEs are brain-based events shaped by personal beliefs — not visits to a one-size-fits-all afterlife waiting room."Clinically dead" doesn't mean the brain has completely shut down. Proponents argue NDEs prove consciousness survives death because brains were "flatlining" — but neuroscientists note that minimal brain activity can still occur undetected, and memories may be reconstructed after the fact as the brain "reboots."Dying might actually be a psychedelic experience. When the brain faces extreme stress, it releases a cocktail of DMT, endorphins, and dopamine while electrical hyperexcitation fires neurons en masse — creating vivid, dreamlike experiences that may explain the transcendent feelings people report.You don't need a near-death experience to live like you've had one. People who've had NDEs often return less materialistic, more focused on love, and at peace with mortality. The takeaway? You can adopt that perspective right now — prioritize connection over accumulation, presence over panic — without the terrifying trip to death's door.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

It takes a village to raise an Olympic hopeful. And sometimes, that village has to change ZIP codes. Brooklyn DePriest is a snowboarder for Team USA, hoping to make his Olympic debut at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Games. He competes in slopestyle. Brooklyn grew up in Northern California in a Sacramento-area suburb called Rocklin. The DePriests spent their winter weekends in Tahoe. Brooklyn's snowboarding talent quickly became apparent as competitions would result in him standing on podiums. By the time he was 12, his parents were advised that their son had the potential to go pro and maybe even go to the Olympics. The catch? He'd need to move for more specialized coaching. The problem? The entire DePriest family loved their home and neighborhood in Rocklin. "There were probably about 10 families involved in the neighborhood," Brooklyn DePreist said. We would ride to school on our bikes and skateboards every single day. We all played the same sport, so we were on the same sports teams." Neither of Brooklyn's parents came from a winter sports background. "The coaches are telling us, like, he has real talent, but we're like, does he? I don't know," Courtney DePriest, Brooklyn's mom, said. The DePriests made the tough decision to relocate to Vail, Colorado, where both their sons could attend a good school while Brooklyn pursued his Olympic goals. Seven years later, Brooklyn DePriest is a contender to compete at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

It's Friday, December 26th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes written by yours truly and heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. Filling in for Adam McManus, I'm Ean Leppin. (Contact@eanvoiceit.com) Christmas for Christians Internationally Hope you and your family had a blessed Christmas Day yesterday!  But in some countries celebrating Christmas is illegal and must be done in secret.  Persecution.org reported what Christians in certain countries risk by acknowledging the Christmas Holiday. In Brunei, in Asia, public displays of Christmas are banned. While Christians are allowed to recognize the holiday inside their homes or churches, they can't hold any public Christmas celebrations. The nation officially banned public Christmas displays in 2014, fearing that they could lead Muslims away from Islam. Muslims found violating the ban, by wearing Santa hats or in some fashion partaking in banned Christmas festivities, could face up to five years in prison. Additionally, Christians are prohibited from spreading the gospel to Muslims. In China, they allow approved groups to hold restricted Christmas celebrations, which vary by region. Individuals younger than 18 years old are forbidden to attend Christmas church celebrations, and authorities continue their campaign to force churches to inject communism into Christian worship. In Iran, Christmas gatherings are allowed in registered churches and approved districts. Small, unregistered house-churches, particularly those of Muslim converts to Christianity, are often raided by authorities.  In November 2025, two individuals who converted to Christianity from Islam began serving a two-year prison sentence for charges related to their participation in a Christian house church. In addition, all church services are forbidden to be conducted in Farsi, Iran's native language. Instead, foreign languages, such as Armenian or Assyrian, are typically used to curb the spread of Christianity to native-born Muslim-Iranians.  Read about other countries in the link on our transcript at www.theworldview.com Ephesians 6:18 says  "praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints" Christians Blocked from Attending Christmas Service in Indonesia Morning Star News reports that Muslims in the West Java Province, Indonesia formed a human wall to block Christians from attending a Christmas service on December 14th.  Videos on social media show police officers and onlookers watching dozens of Muslim men and women holding hands to form a human chain, making anti-Christian comments.  Indonesian society in recent years has adopted a more conservative Islamic character, and churches involved in evangelistic outreach are at risk of being targeted by Islamic extremist groups, according to Open Doors. Nigerian Christian Receives Full Pardon from Death Sentence A Nigerian Christian farmer who was sentenced to death after killing a Fulani radical in self-defense following an attack on his farm has been released from prison after receiving a full pardon according to the Christian Post. Christian rights advocates including US Rep. Riley M Moore of West Virginia are celebrating the release of Sunday Jackson, a student and farmer from the Demsa Local Government Area of Adamawa State, who was sentenced to death in 2021 over a 2015 confrontation on his farm.  Here is Representative Riley M Moore calling attention to this issue to the US House. MOORE: “I would urge the Nigerian government to take a look at pardoning Sunday Jackson, who is an individual who was fighting for his own life, defending his life against one of these Fulani militants. That Fulani militant lost his life in that struggle, and now that person, Sunday Jackson, is facing the death penalty! Where's the justice in that? All these Fulani militants are breaking the law. They are breaking Nigerian law. And so, Sunday Jackson disarms this person with a knife, protects his own life. He's going to prison, and now faces the death penalty, and Fulani militants, just roaming bands of them, with AK-47s, and that's no problem.” Moore went on to say ‘Sunday Jackson is free! After more than a decade in prison serving a death sentence for defending himself, Sunday Jackson has been pardoned…I have been advocating for Sunday's release both in public and in private meetings, including during my recent Congressional Delegation visit to Nigeria.' Psalm 138:7 says, Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand delivers me. Woman Dying of Cancer Receives Hundreds of Christmas Cards Good News Network tells of Clare Jones from Wales a mother of 3 who was told her cancer was no longer responding to treatment and given months to live made a simple request on Facebook she said, ‘After finding out last week that this is probably going to be my last Christmas.  I am looking for ways to make it super special!  I'm a simple person who likes simple things.  I love Christmas Cards!  I would love to have lots of cards this year!...when you are doing your cards could you pop an extra one for me?' That post was shared 10,000 times and her mailbox has received hundreds of cards this holiday season.  Many of the cards contain show and movie tickets, vouchers for camping trips, free flights and other gifts.  Jones told the BBC ‘I have many people around me who care for me.  If love could cure cancer, I would be cured.'

Events of life compel us to interrupt our study through Colossians for a topical study on suffering and dying well. And by studying suffering and dying well, we’ll gain biblical insight on living well. And that doesn’t mean living living … Continue reading →

After Stephen recently revisited the show for our second ah-mazing conversation it reminded me what a hit this first chat we had was with myself and listeners... so in the spirit of dishing up some great content to prompt you to reflect deeply on life, I dare say this one might be just the thing for wrapping up this time of year... 'We're all dying from the moment we are born.' It's the truth, but a truth we never really acknowledge or contemplate. I never could have imagined how much I was going to love this conversation with Stephen Jenkinson. He's a philosopher and a wordsmith, a deep-thinker and an articulate communicator, and he has a way of weaving linguistic magic that took my mind into places it loves to go. We talk about death and what it means to die. How we wrestle with fear of it and thus in the process of which, do we truly live? As humans we are tiny, fleeting and somewhat insignificant on this earth... What happens if and when we make peace with this concept? Or can we make peace with it at all?

Olympic skier AJ Hurt is the ultimate "bring your kid to work" success story. Her dad is on the ski patrol at Palisades Tahoe resort and AJ grew up hanging out with her dad on the mountain. AJ competed for Palisades Tahoe before making it onto the U.S. Ski Team as a teenager. "I was 16 when I raced my first World Cup. No one knows what they're doing at 16!" says AJ. But AJ figured it out quickly. She's an eight year member of the U.S. Ski Team, a three-time U.S. Alpine champ, and competed in the 2022 Beijing Olympics. She's as dedicated to her studies as she is her efforts on the snow. AJ studied engineering at Dartmouth. And, she's an accomplished musician as well. Fellow U.S. ski team members rely on her piano skills for impromptu singalongs on the road during the ski season. We caught up with AJ during off-season training in Tahoe to talk about how to maintain life perspective while competing at such a high level. On this Dying to Ask, The Road to Milan- Cortina: What AJ does in the summer to get ready for an Olympic year The role music plays in relaxing her brain And we'll enjoy an impromptu concert in an history Olympic Valley, CA chapel from AJ

It's time for the annual holiday episode, and this year we're revisiting a few of our favorite conversations from 2025. (It was tough to pick, they are all favorites!) You'll hear excerpts from Sarah's interviews with puppeteer Basil Twist; death educator Joél Simone; poet Danusha Laméris; journalist Oliver Burkeman; and writer-illustrator duo Suzy Hopkins and Hallie Bateman. Each of these guests brought a new perspective on death and grief to our podcast. We are grateful to all of our listeners this year. May your holidays bring you peace.

We carry other people inside us, when we're with them and when we are apart from them. After all, where does my experience of you live, apart from inside me? And your experience of me, apart from inside you? In this conversation we explore what it is to hold others in us in this way, and how our imaginative capacities might allow us to receive the sacredness of others while they are alive alongside us - with all the gifts and compassion that can bring - and when they are no longer alive. A conversation about loving fiercely, receiving one another, and grieving well so that we can live well. This week's Turning Towards Life is hosted as always by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace. This is Turning Towards Life, a weekly live 30 minute conversation hosted by Thirdspace in which Justin Wise and Lizzie Winn dive deep into big questions of human living.

Here's our source for this week: Love Letter from the After Life My love, I was so wrong. Dying is the opposite of leaving. When I left my body, I did not go away. That portal of light was not a portal to elsewhere, but a portal to here. I am more here than I ever was before. I am more with you than I ever could have imagined. So close you look past me when wondering where I am. It's Ok. I know that to be human is to be farsighted. But feel me now, walking the chambers of your heart, pressing my palms to the soft walls of your living. Why did no one tell us that to die is to be reincarnated in those we love while they are still alive? Ask me the altitude of heaven, and I will answer, “How tall are you?” In my back pocket is a love note with every word you wish you'd said. At night I sit ecstatic at the loom weaving forgiveness into our worldly regrets … Andrea Gibson Dec 21 2023 You can read and hear the full poem at Andrea Gibson's Website https://substack.com/@andreagibson/p-139965380 Photo by Naoki Suzuki on Unsplash Photo by Naoki Suzuki on Unsplash --- Join Us Live in 2026 Foundations of Coaching, Feb 9-10 2026, Online Our two day introduction to the deep and wonderful way of working with people that we call 'Integral Development Coaching'. www.wearethirdspace.org/foundations-of-coaching Turning Towards Life Live Season 2, from March 2026 Our Turning Towards Life live programme of community, learning and reflection runs in six month seasons, in person on Zoom once a month.

He Watched the Woman He Loved Die—And Learned How to Live AgainThe courageous journey of navigating grief becomes a path to renewed life and love in this heartfelt conversation with author and Certified Grief Educator Tony Stewart. An accomplished filmmaker, visionary software designer, and global leader in advertising technology, Tony shares the intimate story behind his acclaimed memoir, Carrying the Tiger: Living with Cancer, Dying with Grace, Finding Joy While Grieving.With unflinching honesty and tender grace, Tony recounts his profound 35-year marriage to his late wife, painter Lynn Kotula, their experience facing her terminal illness, and the pivotal conversations that helped him move forward. His memoir offers a deeply intimate exploration of love, loss, and the quiet strength required to face life's most harrowing moments. Tony brings a unique blend of insight, compassion, and hard-earned wisdom to this powerful interview as he reflects on the shift in perspective that allowed him to reframe his grief, how sorrow can be woven into our lives without overwhelming us, and what joy might look like even during mourning. This conversation is an invitation to witness resilience, honor love, and discover how grief can open unexpected pathways to healing and renewal.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT THINGS LIKE:How to approach a terminal illness diagnosis as a unified challenge to maximize “good time” rather than collapsing in pity or pursuing a “false trap” of a cure.The concept of grief as a form of “alchemy,” in which, over time, we can transmute our grief into something stronger and more valued, a kind of gold.The healing modalities that helped Tony cope with his wife's terminal illness, his grief, and his transition to a new life. The meaning behind the Tai Chi metaphor “Carrying the Tiger”: if you carry a tiger for someone, you are lifting their load.Why grief is something to honor rather than something to fix, and the truth that “you can't heal what you don't feel.”The reality that you never stop grieving, but the gradual building of positive new experiences allows joy to coexist with enduring love and sadness.The complex journey of finding new love while still deeply grieving for a previous partner, and how a new partner's openness can aid in the healing process.WATCH ON YOUTUBE: He Watched the Woman He Loved Die—And Learned How to Live Again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKWDBSKHps4&list=PL7judgDzhkAWmfyB5r5WgFD6ahombBvoh

The International End of Life Doula Association believes everyone deserves compassionate, respectful care at the end of life. Executive Director Doug Simpson is working with the INELDA team to make that happen. Doug's journey to EOL doula work began with the death of his own father, followed by the birth of his son. Drawn to end of life work, Doug trained as a doula in 2018 and became an INELDA volunteer in 2019. He moved into the Executive Director position in 2022, and has never lost sight of the personal experiences that have guided his work. Reflecting back, Doug realizes the similarities between birth and death, and the deeply spiritual experiences of both these life events. He works with INELDA now to ensure that everyone has access to end of life care, resources to make that death an enriched experience, and education to promote growth and acceptance of the work of end of life doulas.

In one ICU room, patients repeatedly report seeing the same silent man standing in the same corner—often just before sudden clarity, recovery, or death. Nurses notice the pattern. Doctors document an unusual concentration of terminal lucidity. The room keeps being used. In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro explore a real medical mystery involving repeating end-of-life visions tied to a single hospital room, and why science struggles to explain why place—not patient—seems to matter. Then, we examine ancient Christmas folklore warning that animals speak at midnight—and that overhearing them reveals forbidden knowledge, often about death. From hospital wards to medieval superstition, this episode asks: what if clarity at the end comes after something leaves? Listener discretion advised. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this raw, year-end episode, Human Design, Gene Keys & AI Business Coach Kehla G takes listeners inside the most honest breakdown of her entrepreneurial journey yet — a year marked by grief, fraud, financial contraction, ruptured relationships, backend collapse, and a complete restructuring of what leadership looks like for the next era of online business. Instead of hiding the mess, Kehla names every layer of it. And while the 2025 coaching industry leaned heavily into identity-led branding, performative “evolutions,” and hype-driven movements, Kehla reveals the quieter — and far more powerful — shift she experienced: She stopped softening herself to match an industry performing its evolution. She stopped cushioning her boundaries. She stopped mothering clients who needed truth, not comfort. She stopped diluting her genius to avoid being misinterpreted. She stopped holding together systems, friendships, and offers that were already collapsing. This episode marks the moment she stepped into structural maturity: precision, directness, intentionality, and a business model built on rhythm instead of forever-access hoarding. Kehla shares what actually cracked open beneath the surface — the death of old identities, the end of rescuing, the void that forced her into total surrender, and the rebuild that followed as she left Kajabi, rebuilt her backend, simplified her offers, and embraced a cleaner, sharper, more architected way of doing business. For entrepreneurs navigating their own unraveling, this episode offers a grounded, SEO-rich reflection on the future of the coaching industry, Human Design–aligned leadership, Gene Keys–inspired refinement, and the collective shift toward precision as we move into 2026. Inside this episode, Kehla explores: ✨ What Actually Happened — loss, fraud, financial collapse, ruptures, the void

Canada has embraced a culture of death.   America's neighbor to the north legalized euthanasia in 2016, and since then more than 75,000 Canadians have participated in Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying program. Canada also has no restrictions on abortion and only considers a baby a human after it passes through the birth canal.   Canada has become a “totalitarian wild west,” according to Liana Graham, who grew up in Canada and now works as a research assistant in domestic policy at The Heritage Foundation.   Areas that Canada should regulate, such as abortion and physician-assisted suicide, it does not; instead, it has created stringent regulations around freedom of speech and religion.   On this week's episode of "Problematic Women," Liana joins the show to discuss the ways America can keep itself from becoming Canada 2.0 and protect the value of life that was intrinsic to America's founding.   Also on today's show, we wrap up the year by discussing President Donald Trump's Wednesday night address to the nation.   Enjoy the show!Follow us on Instagram for EXCLUSIVE bonus content and the chance to be featured in our episodes: https://www.instagram.com/problematicwomen/   Connect with our hosts on socials!   Elise McCue X: https://x.com/intent/user?screen_name=EliseMcCue Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elisemccueofficial/   Virginia Allen: X: https://x.com/intent/user?screen_name=Virginia_Allen5 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/virginiaallenofficial/   Crystal Bonham: X: https://x.com/intent/user?screen_name=crystalkatetx   Check out Top News in 10, hosted by The Daily Signal's Tony Kinnett: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjMHBev3NsoUpc2Pzfk0n89cXWBqQltHY Learn more about your ad choices.

"Head first" isn't a choice for Kendall Wesenberg. It's a job requirement. The skeleton slider has also turned it into her life mantra. And her grit to push through life and it's challenges is becoming legendary. The 2018 Olympian is working toward qualifying for her second Olympic Team. But she's already put in a gold medal worthy effort just trying to qualify for the 2026 Winter Games. Kendall grew up in Modesto, California, playing a variety of sports. She graduated from CU-Boulder and in 2010 watched the sport of skeleton for the first time during the Vancouver Olympics. She thought, "I wonder if I could do that?" She attended a sliding athletes combine and discovered she had an irrational need for speed and the innate talent to get good at one of the most niche Olympic sport. Skeleton athletes slide head first on their stomachs down the same icy track the bobsleds go down. Athletes use their shoulder sand knees to steer. Kendall explains, "There are anywhere from 12 to 20-something curves that you try and cover in about a minute, usually less." She's gone as fast at 86 miles per hour on a track. And, she competed in the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. But she failed to make the 2022 Olympic Team. It turns out she had an undiagnosed spinal injury that had gone untreated for three years. It explained the immense pain she'd experienced training and competing. "The things that hold your spine in place snapped off of my back. And when it didn't get diagnosed, my vertebrae just slid out of my spinal column. So it was like fully pinching my nerves. I couldn't feel my legs," says Kendall. Her surgeon recommended a spinal fusion, a surgery with a very long recovery. Kendall jokes, "The playbook's pretty thin on a return to sport post spine fusion." But her doctor didn't close the door on a return to the sport she loved. Kendall spent three months in a back brace, seven months barely walking and couldn't start serious physical therapy until 10 months post surgery. 600 days later she returned to the ice describing her return to a track as "awesome." A year later, she's earned a spot on the U.S. World Cup Skeleton Team and she's actively trying to qualify for that second Olympic Team.

What Are US Troops Guarding And Dying For In Syria by Ron Paul Liberty Report

In the spring, Edward Brandon Becham was caring for his dying wife. He was also among hundreds of thousands of federal workers weighing whether to abandon public service. Donald Trump had taken office vowing to slash the federal bureaucracy, then entrusted the task to billionaire Elon Musk and a newly created cost-cutting team called the Department of Government Efficiency. In a matter of months, Musk and his U.S. DOGE Service wiped out hundreds of thousands of jobs, billions of dollars in spending and the job security that once distinguished government work.Of America's 2.4 million federal workers, nearly 4 in 10 registered to vote had, like Becham, cast ballots for Trump, according to a Washington Post-Ipsos poll. But as the days passed, Becham was becoming convinced that the Trump administration's treatment of government employees — large-scale firings, emails he saw as harassing and strict return-to-office mandates — was wrongheaded and cruel. If he was unable to resign, Brandon would be required to report to a federal building in Las Vegas more than 70 miles away. Round-trip, it would cost him three hours a day with his three children, for whom he would soon be the only parent and sole provider.Becham felt as though he was witnessing two painful deaths: his wife's, of course, but also that of his career. In his darkest moments, Brandon turned to his Bible — and next to it, his leather-bound diary.This story follows Becham and his family for a week as he navigated his feelings about his wife, family, his career and Trump.Hannah Natanson reported and narrated the piece.

Glenn starts the show by going through the history of Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying program, which has become a grotesque injustice. Glenn opens up the phones for callers to discuss various issues, including one caller who's fighting the state of New York from taking over her farmland to install solar panels. Glenn warns that Texas could soon face rolling blackouts as power grids are overwhelmed. Glenn gives an update on Jolene, a Canadian woman who needs life-saving surgery. Forgetting the autopen scandal, does the president have the power to issue immunity deals under the guise of pardons? Glenn lays out why Canada's health care is such a mess. Glenn gets a call from a listener who calls him out for referring to “George AI” as a “he” and not an “it.” “The Case for Christ” author Lee Strobel joins to discuss his newest book, “The Case for Christmas,” which dives into the evidence of the birth of Jesus Christ.

You may have heard the phrase, "Memento Mori" when it comes to reflecting on death, but how should Christians really view death? Fr. Mike Schmitz explains three common views we may hold about death: Death is the enemy Death is a natural part of life Death is a new birth (but we're not excited about it) However, Fr. Mike explains that all three fall short; death is actually a lover. Our goal should not be a longing for death, but a longing for the One on the other side. How can you long for Heaven and Jesus today?
