Join Lionel on The Other Side of Midnight for an unfiltered dive into the "human condition" and the quirky secrets we keep. This episode explores "guilty pleasures"—from secret sewing hobbies to a hidden love for Kate Smith—and the elaborate lies people tell to maintain their reputations, including a man who maintained a fake bowling career complete with a rented locker and pristine shoes. The conversation travels from the nostalgic smells of Vitalis hair oil and "butch wax" to the high-stakes stress of winning the lottery and cruel winning-number pranks. You'll also get a fascinating look at cultural subcultures, including the syncretism of Santeria, the history of "Irish Rovers," and the mysterious "King of the Gypsies" in Chicago. From duck pins in Massachusetts to the "strange darkness" of the Romani people on the East Side, it's a journey through the knowledge that titillates and informs. Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to 2026! A brand new year means a fresh playing field, a chance to invite God to take new territory in our lives. But if we're honest, change can be hard. Most of us say we want transformation, but few are truly ready for the discomfort it brings. Today we explore why change is at the very heart of following Jesus and how Acts 3:19 promises “times of refreshing” when we're willing to turn and walk in a new direction. This could be the year everything shifts in your relationship with God, but it starts with one question: Are you ready for change?Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion.

“Wake up people, we stay asleep”—and from that call, this Detroit is Different conversation with Kevin Tolbert, 12th Congressional District Democratic Party Chair, moves like a family reunion and a strategy session. Four generations deep—Kentucky, Tennessee, Black Bottom, then East Side to West Side—Tolbert maps how Legacy Black Detroit culture gets made through migration, work, and neighborhood bonds. He shares a laugh and love of how his parents and older siblings discovered his intellect at an early age, then turns serious about Bates Academy and Dr. Gibson's lesson: “Excuses are tools of the incompetent.” From there the talk widens to labor power and city politics—how unions built an American & Detroit' Black middle class, why government contracts “make millionaires,” and why Coleman A. Young mattered because he changed the power dynamics. Tolbert connects the past to today's fights over media narratives, water, data, and corporate greed, warning that when people stop learning history, they repeat it. It's a Detroit story about family, discipline, and organizing—why our legacy is a toolkit, and why the future depends on whether we wake up. He honors the skill, talent, and brilliance of Black Detroit and insists, “we're made of something different”— and at our best when faith and collective action are at our center.

“‘We said pledges about remembering our ancestors… loving Black (at Aisha Shule)” In this episode, Dr. Tierra Bills—Assistant Professor of Civil & Environmental Engineering & Public Policy at UCLA—returns home through memory, tracing her family's East Side roots and the African-centered foundation of Aisha Shule, where “as the daughter of one of the Walimu… I had to set the tone.” She honors Mama Easter's “big presence” and the rituals that taught students their history “did not start with slavery,” then shows how that cultural grounding carried her from FAMU to UC Berkeley and into transportation engineering. Bills breaks down “mobility as a system,” asking not just how we travel, but “how easy can I get to my desired destinations?” and what happens when data, scooters, robots, and roadwork reshape daily life. From 696 detours to the I-375/Black Bottom rebuild, she insists engineers must measure real community impacts: “80% of the businesses will be shut down,” “your travel time has ballooned,” and “those who are bearing the worst impacts are those who are also most vulnerable.” It's a Detroit legacy lesson—culture as preparation, and policy as repair—and an invitation to show up at public meetings.

This is your All Local morning update for December 27, 2025.

Frank Kabatas came to the U.S. in the late 90s, and his first experience with New York style pizza was as a delivery guy for East Village Pizza. He eventually moved to the West Side, working for a different pizzeria, then eventually returned to the East Side, when he bought the business in 2003. It wasn't easy. Kabatas had to learn English, and figure out how to stay afloat in a very competitive environment, but now more than 20 years on, his business is thriving. Note: this is the FINAL show of 2025 and for our podcast. I've decided after seven years, we've covered pretty much all there is to say about pizza right now. I hope you've enjoyed this run, we sure have.

Merry Christmas Eve, friend. Today on Pursuing God, we're tracing the journey of Jesus from the manger to the Jordan River — and what it means for your life right now. He wasn't just born to be admired in a nativity scene; He came to be followed. Born in a manger, buried in baptism, and raised to bring new life to anyone willing to say yes. As we light the final Advent candle and reflect on His birth, I want to invite you to consider the personal invitation Jesus offers: to be made new. And for some of you, that next step might be baptism. Let's talk about what it means to go all in — to identify with the One who identified with us.Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside's conviction that God's grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God's presence and activity in your life.

Christmas isn't always “the most wonderful time of the year.” For some of us, this time of year magnifies the pain we're carrying… the empty chair at the table, the tension in relationships, the dreams that haven't come true. Today I want to talk about the hard side of Christmas and remind you of the powerful promise Jesus makes in the middle of it all: “Behold, I am making all things new.” Not someday. Not just in heaven. But right now, even in the middle of your heartache. If this Christmas feels heavy, I hope you'll take a few minutes with me today. Don't pretend. Don't force the joy. Just come as you are. And let's draw near to the One who promises to draw near to us.Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion.

In this final week of Advent, Gene Appel invites you to shift your perspective from anxiety to awe. As we reflect on Isaiah 12 and the promise of salvation, we're reminded that we don't have to stay stuck in the cycle of worry. Instead, we're called to draw close to our Mighty God—to turn our monologue of stress into a dialogue of trust. Whether you're weighed down by finances, relationships, or uncertainty this Christmas, this will help you move from fear to faith, and from panic to prayer, as you draw joyfully from the well of God's presence. Behold Him. He is near.Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion.

At Christmas, it's easy to focus on traditions, family gatherings, and celebrations—but the heart of the season is Jesus. In this sermon, we walk through the story of the shepherds meeting Jesus and explore how their response models a faith that is personal, active, and centered on Christ. The shepherds went to see Jesus for themselves, shared what God had revealed, and responded with worship and praise. Their example challenges us to keep Jesus at the center of our Christmas and to recognize, respond to, and share what God is doing in our lives every day.

As we wrap up the third week of Advent, we've spent these days looking at Jesus as YOUR KING. We close this week by returning to the wise men, who traveled for months, maybe years, to bow before Jesus and offer their gifts.

“Behold, your King is coming to you.” Today, we trace how the Christmas story itself declares that Jesus didn't come for one group, one ethnicity, or one nation, He came for the world.

Today, we explore the powerful contrast between two very different gifts brought to Jesus, costly treasures from the wise men and two simple pigeons from Mary and Joseph. One extravagant, one humble… yet both equally honoring to God. Why?

The creator of ChatGPT has promised to donate more than $40 million to nonprofits across the country. It is the first round of philanthropy from the rebranded nonprofit arm of OpenAI. A portion of the new funding is coming to Minnesota. Two Twin Cities-focused organizations, COPAL and Merrick Community Services, are among more than 200 recipients nationwide. Kate Kelly is the development director of Merrick Community Services, which provides social services in St. Paul's East Side neighborhood. She joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about what the organization will do with the money, including their exploration of AI as a tool for their work.

Today, we walk through the often-misunderstood story of the wise men, their long journey, intentional worship, and the deeply symbolic gifts they brought to Jesus. Gold for the King. Frankincense for the High Priest. Myrrh for the Savior who came to die.Their gifts weren't last-minute add-ons; they were thoughtful, planned acts of worship.

Step into the third week of Advent with the powerful declaration from Zechariah: “Behold, your King is coming to you… having salvation.” Today, we reflect on the wise men, their gifts, and what it means to worship the One who has everything yet still desires our hearts.

In this message, we look beyond the virgin birth to a deeper issue: fear. Through Mary's response to God, Israel's fear in the wilderness, and Jesus' words to anxious hearts, this sermon challenges us to identify the “security blankets” we cling to and invites us to trust the God who is truly with us, even when we're afraid.

Fear not, a reminder of the extraordinary joy at the heart of Christmas. Today's episode invites you to slow down, create space in this busy season, and consider how God wants to use your life, right where you live, to shine His light.
