Kids are hungry for heroes — and too often, culture hands them fictional ones instead of the real, flesh-and-blood believers whose stories can shape their faith for a lifetime. In this episode, Hannah Augustine sits down with New York Times best-selling author Ellen Vaughn to talk about her children's biography, Elisabeth Elliot: The Brave Girl Who Chose to Love, and why stories like Elisabeth's still matter for kids today.Get your copies of The Brave Girl Who Chose to Love at thegoodbook.com.

We want our car to start when we turn the key. We want our refrigerator to keep our food cold and our freezer to keep it colder. We expect it to be hot in the summer, cold in the winter, and cooler in the spring and fall. We expect that four-letter "W" word to be around all the time. Consistent. Reliable. Predictable.That's what makes Jesus' parable in today's Gospel so maddeningly frustrating ... and at the same time wonderfully exhilarating! It's just not predictable. A farmer goes out to sow his seed, but he doesn't know what's going to grow or where or how. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason. He just scatters the seed. We think how terribly wasteful and inefficient this is. We are the kind of people who pull out the tape measure to make sure we plant our cucumbers at ½ inch depth, our peppers 18 inches apart, and our tomatoes around May 31. We dig furrows, plant the seed, and put the little stakes at the end of each row -- all to maximize our garden's potential. Then, because it's Wyoming, we are pleasantly surprised when anything grows!Even with all that care and precision, we still have no idea how well our plants will grow. We do the work and let God do the rest. It is all very unpredictable.And that's exactly what Jesus is teaching us today. The seed of God's Word is wonderfully, maddeningly unpredictable. You can sow it, plant it or scatter it, but you don't know whether that Word is going to take root and grow or not. You don't know which seeds will be snatched or baked or choked ... or which will produce an abundant harvest.The Sower was reckless with his Seed, letting it fall where it may. And this is exactly what Jesus is doing as he scatters the seed of his Word to the "large crowds" that listened to him teach from the boat. Jesus scattered this seed to anyone within earshot -- the devout, the curious, the super-religious, the seekers, the skeptics, the Jewish opposition, the tax collectors, and sinners. He scattered the seed liberally -- not only to those whom he thinks will give the greatest return on the investment or on those who meet the proper demographics -- but to all.Jesus is teaching us to do exactly the same thing. We scatter the seed of his Word in as many ways, in as many places, to as many different people as we can. We scatter his seed to the big homes next to the golf course, the neighborhoods around the church, throughout Casper, and the communities of Bar Nunn, Mills, and Evansville. We hang flyers on doors and post reels on social media. We share God's Word on our webpage, YouTube, email, from the pulpit in church, and with adult instruction classes in people's homes. We share the Word with young families, the single mom, the widowed grandfather, the lonely teenager, the overwhelmed college student, the alcoholic businessman, the depressed housewife, and the cute little kids.But there is no predictability when or how or with whom the gospel seed grows. That's why we try to scatter the seed in so many ways. All God asks and expects us to do is scatter the seed and support the scattering with our time, effort, prayers, and offerings. He will bless the harvest.We plant the seeds, but some of the soil is hard. It isn't allowed to take root. These are the hearts (our hearts) that are stubborn and resistant, feeling no need to repent, no hunger or thirst for God's Word, and does not allow for conversion and change. If someone does not want God's gospel -- his free and unconditional forgiveness, his deliverance from death and the Devil, and his reconciliation with the holy God -- the Lord of the harvest does not force the gospel to stay but allows the seed to be snatched away. A Gideon's Bible in every hotel room and a church on every corner doesn't bother Satan if he can keep snatching the gospel from hard and stubborn hearts.Some of the seeds we sow will fall on ground cluttered with rocks and stones. Here the seed springs up quickly but cannot stand the heat. Satan loves a faith that is based on feelings, emotions, and convenience, rather than digging deep roots into Christ's gospel. It's a quick and easy faith of compromise, convenience, and mediocrity that cannot stand strong with the heat of challenges and conflicts, persecution and pain.Some of the seeds we scatter will fall on ground with weeds so there is competition. Competition with the difficulties at work, the struggles at home, the hurt feelings with friends, the worries and concerns of life, the vacationing and sleeping in, or the lusts of the flesh and the pleasures of the world. All these will choke the Word of God from growing in hearts and transforming lives.Totally unpredictable.Instead of predictability, we have something better -- we have God's promise through his prophet, "Just as the rain and the snow come down from the sky and do not return there unless they first water the earth, make it give birth, and cause it to sprout, so that it gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater, in the same way my word that goes out from my mouth will not return to me empty. Rather, it will accomplish whatever I please, and it will succeed in the purpose for which I sent it" (Isaiah 55:10-11). God's Word works. It will either be rejected or accepted. It will either be discounted or believed. It will either harden or convert. It will either create enemies or create saints.This is good! When things are in our hands, we can never be sure of the outcome. When we're on our own, what can we do? What can we accomplish? I can't even make my garden grow, let alone produce a harvest for God!But in God's hands -- his creating hands, his nail-pierced hands, his faith-instilling hands -- then we can be sure. Absolutely sure. Those hands, once pierced and fastened to the cross but now raised from the dead, are the hands that have defeated all our enemies and chase away the Evil One. Those are the hands that have taken the weeds and doubts of sin and pulled them up by the roots and forgiven them. Those are the hands that shield us from the burning persecution of Satan and shade us by his grace and care.These are the hands that take your hard, rocky, weed-infested soil and turns it over through the cultivating of his holy, inspired Word -- his Law and Gospel. The Law prepares the soil of the heart for the seed of the Gospel. The Law points out the rocks, weeds, and hard soil. It causes you to repent of those rocks, weeds, and hardness. It breaks up the rocks, pulls the weeds, and softens your hard heart.Then the Gospel cultivates your soil. You drink deeply of the water of your Baptism through repentance and absolution. You are nourished with the body and blood of Christ in the Lord's Supper. You are blessed with his benediction and grace. You are fertilized with all the nutrients you need to grow your faith through God's holy Scriptures.God, the ultimate Sower and the Lord of the harvest, will bring about the harvest he desires. What does this harvest look like? It's not simply a full sanctuary, increased Bible study attendance, and a budget in the black. It's a marvelously, miraculously, maddeningly unpredictable harvest 30, 60, 100 times what was sown. (If you've ever planted anything, you know how astronomically amazing those harvest numbers are.) This harvest displays itself in your life by worshiping weekly, praying constantly, studying daily, speaking truthfully, helping faithfully, serving consistently, loving unconditionally, and forgiving repeatedly. It's not often the big and spectacular that is accomplished, but rather the ordinary and mundane. It's hearing, understanding, and living the Word in your life, in your family, at your job, at your school, and with your friends. Producing fruit. Living as Christ. Loving as you have been loved. Forgiving as you have been forgiven. Serving as you have been served. These are the fruits of faith that are pleasing to the Sower.Let me tell you a story of how God works this in real life. Several years ago, I received an email in the spring asking if our church had a class on the basics of the Bible. The writer of the email said she had gone to a WELS church with a friend, was impressed, and wanted to learn more about the Bible. She had received flyers on her door in Racine from us in the past. She checked out the church on our webpage and even watched a few of my sermons. So, she joined the Bible Inquirer's Class I had just started. There wasn't really any intention of leaving her church and joining our Lutheran Church. But then God's Word began to dig roots, grow, and flourish. She found the truth of God's Word and the free forgiveness in Christ she had been missing her whole life. The Holy Spirit moved her to join our congregation that summer.But the story doesn't end there. While God's Word began to blossom and change her life, the Word also began to germinate within her two daughters. Her 9-year-old daughter would play with their 7-year-old neighbor, Gracie. After coming in to get dressed for church one day, her daughter said, "Gracie has never heard of God and Jesus and stuff ... so I told her about it."A few weeks later, Mom was folding laundry in her bedroom and noticed that her daughter and Gracie were sitting on the backsteps. Her daughter had out her Children's Bible and was reading Gracie the story of Adam and Eve, and Gracie looked incredibly taken by the story! Mom said that was even more amazing was that her daughter absolutely, positively, hates reading and will do just about anything to avoid it. And there she was, all on her own (with the help of the Holy Spirit, of course), reading the Bible to the neighbor girl. And enjoying it!Over the course of the summer, her two daughters read Gracie over 50 pages of the Bible. Then they both told their mom, "You know, Mom, the Bible is actually really interesting!"Then her 9-year-old explained that she had gotten out her old first communion dress and dressed Gracie in it. Then she got some water and baptized her!What an unpredictable but promised harvest! All from scattering the seed with a door hanger, a friendly invitation to church, and a webpage. Then the seed of the Word beginning to take root in Bible Class, maturing into membership, and blossoming in a family and a neighborhood.What is God going to accomplish in you and through you? I don't know. But I want you to eager to see the field ripe for harvest. God has planted his seed deep into your heart for a purpose, and he will see it through to completion. Let the Word take root in your heart. Continue to recklessly scatter the seed. Preach the Word and plant it home. Know that you have God's promise that his Word will produce a harvest. Not always the same harvest. Not always the harvest we're looking for or praying for. But it will be a marvelous, miraculous, maddeningly unpredictable, promised harvest. In you and through you. Good seed sprouting in good soil. Amen.

Send us Fan MailComedian Paul Bragin is back in the studio for his lucky-number-seven appearance, and the wheels come off almost immediately. This week on The Days Grimm Podcast, Brian, Thomas, and producer Corey turn a simple "deaths of the month" check-in into a no-topic-is-safe deep dive that somehow connects a horse-racing legend, a paramount principle of Jewish law, and a dictator's 1987 plan to breed cows the size of dogs. If you like your comedy podcast unscripted, unfiltered, and wildly off the rails, you found the right episode.From there it only escalates: the crew debates whether a pig heart transplant counts as kosher (turns out there's a real answer), digs into the melanin-peptide tanning trend and the surprising cancer research behind it, and settles into a heated greatest-director argument over Christopher Nolan's upcoming Odyssey. You'll get the real backstory of how Henry Ford "borrowed" the assembly line from Toyota, a field guide to Amish Rumspringa, and a passionate case for why Waffle House needs to come to Evansville — fights and all.Recorded in the Days Grimm studio in Evansville, Indiana, this episode closes with Paul's report from his longest-ever clean stand-up set, a tour through the chaos of the Evansville Watch local-news feed, and a stack of local plugs you'll actually want to hit.

Illinois has strengthened its protections for LGBTQ people in recent years. But just across the border, the picture looks different: Iowa has stripped gender identity from its civil rights law, Missouri's Supreme Court has upheld a ban on gender-affirming care for minors, and Indiana's governor has declared June "Nuclear Family Month." All of it comes as a new U.S. Supreme Court ruling allows states to exclude transgender women and girls from female sports teams — and as national polling shows support for LGBTQ rights slipping from its peak. We talk with LGBTQ advocates from across the region — in the Quad Cities, St. Louis, and Evansville, Indiana — about what's changed, how their communities are adapting, and what Pride means as the political climate shifts.

#willardlibrary #ghosthunting #hauntedlibrary Join us on Patreon for ZERO ADS ALWAYS! www.patreon.com/hauntedcitypodcastThe Willard Library in Evansville, Indiana is one of the most haunted buildings in America, and tonight we found out why. After hours, with the doors locked and the ghost cams rolling, we went looking for the legendary Gray Lady... and something started talking back.What we captured in this investigation is some of the wildest spirit interaction we have ever documented. A child spirit begged us to spin and run with him through the stacks. A voice clearly told one of us to "SPIN FOR ME" in a whisper the whole live stream heard. And in the final moments, a spirit guided us straight to a Record of Death, page 30, and helped spell out the name of a child who died of cholera in Columbia, South Carolina in July of 1861.Built in the late 1800s, the Willard Library was the dream of Willard Carpenter, who poured nearly his entire fortune into it and died before it ever opened. His wife passed just nine months later. Legend says his daughter Louise, furious at being left out of the will, never left the building at all. For over a century, staff, police, and visitors have reported the Gray Lady drifting through the genealogy department, a dark shadow figure no one can identify, and a playful child spirit who just wants someone to find him.In this episode:The history of Willard Carpenter and the family curse behind the hauntingThe active staircase where the Gray Lady and a young boy have been seenThe genealogy floor and the famous shadow figure photographed by policeA solo sit in total darkness that pushed us to our limitThe "spin and run" game with a child spirit named BillyThe record of death moment that left the whole team speechlessThis was one of the most intense and interactive nights of our entire run.

She had a million dollars in her account and she was convinced she'd lose her house by the end of the month. That's not a financial problem. That's grief lying. And if you don't know how to recognize it, you'll either rush your client into decisions she'll regret, or lose her trust entirely.Episode SummaryIn this episode, Brandon L. Hayes, CFP, founder of Compass Financial Group and author of You're Not Alone, shares what 26 years of working almost exclusively with widows has taught him about grief and financial decision-making. Brandon's perspective is personal: he lost his father at 13 and watched a trusted advisor help his family stay financially whole. That experience became a calling. He breaks down why the traditional planning process doesn't fit widows, what grief lies look like in practice, which financial landmines to watch for in the first months after a loss, and how advisors and adult children can support without taking over. This is essential listening for any advisor who works with clients navigating the widow transition.About Brandon L. HayesBrandon L. Hayes, CFP, is the founder of Compass Financial Group in Evansville, Indiana, where he has specialized in working with widows for over 26 years. His calling began at age 13 when his father passed away, and he witnessed firsthand the stabilizing impact a trusted financial advisor had on his family. Brandon is the author of You're Not Alone, a guide he describes as a ministry and a mission: walking widows through the financial decisions that can't wait and the ones that can, in plain language. The financial advisor who helped his mother through that season is now Brandon's own client.What We CoverWhy the financial planning process, with its timelines and checklists, is structurally incompatible with grief, and what advisors can do insteadThe concept of grief lies and why even high-net-worth clients can believe they're about to go brokeThe only things that actually need to happen in the first days after a spouse dies, and why everything else can waitRiver widows vs. root widows: two grief patterns that determine how quickly clients make decisionsHow to uncover hidden benefits including accidental death policies, club memberships, and digital accounts that can add thousands or hundreds of thousands to a settlementHow adult children can cross the line from helpful to harmful, and what healthy family support actually looks likeThe organized crime schemes targeting widows, including a scam that ended with criminals physically walking off a porch with $150,000 in goldResources MentionedYou're Not Alone by Brandon L.

He arrived in America with faith and a vision. What Alfonso Vidal built from there is the kind of story that reminds you the American dream is still very much alive — and still very much worth fighting for. In Part 2, Alfonso picks up where we left off — planting roots in Evansville, Indiana, building a thriving manufacturing company from the ground up, and serving his adopted state under three governors. Then COVID hit, and everything he had built was gone. He didn't look for someone to blame. He started over — deliberately, in the blue collar world, building a franchise-based business alongside the service workers and tradespeople often left out of the story. Alfonso also shares his perspective on the current political landscape in Venezuela, and what he believes his journey has prepared him to do next.   Episode Highlights: 01:15 Entrepreneur Roots 04:05 Work and Family 06:18 Covid Business Crash 10:06 Giving Back Mission 11:45 Politics and Community 16:12 Destiny and Calling 20:36 How to Connect with Alfonso Vidal Show Links:  TheVidalPerspective.com

In the auditory domain, the Sound Mandala imitates the visual trick of film motion by placing dozens of loudspeakers into a space organized into a matrix of lines and rows, then dividing, or spreading a sound along these lines and rows to create a sinuous ‘motion' of sound. This summer the Sound Mandala will present a new show at the Unicorn Theatre as well as joining the KC Fringe Festival 2026, featuring a 100-loudspeaker channel system in the Jerome black box theatre seating 40 people. We refer to the Sound Mandala as a ‘Mecca-concept'----you must go there to have the experience. As this invention becomes commercialized and we experiment with visual images, this Mecca-concept will be a decided advantage to a film presenter---an advantage movie theatres do not enjoy today. The Sound Mandala experience cannot be duplicated in the home or in a car. When You Walk In... • An Acoustic Sanctuary: You'll step into an intimate theater environment wrapped in an array of dozens of individual loudspeakers. • Perfect Sound, Every Seat: Unlike standard concert venues or movie theaters where the best sound is only in the exact center, the Sound Mandala is designed so that every seat is the best seat in the house. • A Journey for the Senses: You will sit back, relax, and let custom-composed music, vivid soundscapes, and acoustic narratives wash over your senses and move right through you. SCOTT PRESTON-The Traveling Hippo is a children's book that encourages family travel traditions, featuring a narrator and seven characters who guide families in taking a stuffed hippo on vacation to create memories. The book, which includes a travel log and illustrations by Preston's daughter, Lilly, is part of a larger "Hippo Universe" that includes merchandise like plushies and trading cards, and it aims to be more than just a story but a family activity. Key aspects of the book and tradition: • Concept: Families bring a stuffed hippo on trips, using the book as a guide and a travel journal to record their adventures. • Characters: The story features a narrator, Hammy the bird, and other characters that help explain the tradition. • Family involvement: The project is a family affair, with Preston's daughter Lilly doing illustrations and his son helping with the website. • Origin: The tradition started with the author's own children using a hippo from a discount store on their trips. • Merchandise: The "Hippo Universe" includes the book, plush toys, and other items, with plans for more books and products. • Awards: It was a finalist in the 2026 Next Generation Indie Book Awards.

For nearly a century, Willard Library in Evansville, Indiana, has been home to one of the state's most famous ghosts—the Grey Lady. In this episode, we explore the history of the library, the origins of the Grey Lady legend, and the paranormal experiences that continue to make Willard Library one of Indiana's most intriguing haunted locations.

#ghosthunting #horrortok #creepy Something is standing behind that couple. And it's been waiting.Welcome to another Ghost Caught on Camera edition of The Most Haunted City on Earth. This week, Madison, Chris, and JT break down two videos that are hard to shake.First up: a happy couple films themselves in front of their new home... completely unaware that something is watching from behind the door. A shadowy figure with no facial features except two glowing eyes slowly peers around the frame... then vanishes. Is it a prank, a mask, AI? Or something non-human that was already there before they moved in?Then: a man who's lived with a very active basement for two years finally catches his heavy, solid oak door opening and closing on camera... all by itself. His reaction says it all.We also dig into a growing conversation: with AI making it easier than ever to fake paranormal footage, are we dismissing real experiences too quickly?ANNOUNCEMENT: We just wrapped an investigation at the Willard Public Library in Evansville, Indiana — and the footage drops in June. Patreon gets it first, ad-free. Join the community at www.patreon.com/hauntedcitypodcast.com

At 41 years old, with no woodworking background and tools made from hot-glued blocks of wood, Craig Hedges won a YouTube scholarship that changed the trajectory of his entire family's life. In this episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast, host Jennifer Alger sits down with Craig Hedges, the new owner of Goliath Hardwoods in Evansville, Indiana. Craig's story starts with a $250 check from a YouTube woodworker's scholarship fund, a circular saw, a jigsaw, and a drill. What began with cornhole boards made alongside his wife and four kids eventually grew into pen turning, laser engraving, craft shows, and ultimately the purchase of a nearly 30-year-old hardwood retail business that was days away from closing its doors forever. You'll hear about how Craig and his family funded a trip to Disney World entirely from cornhole board sales, and the car ride home where the kids declared they were done making them. You'll hear about how he discovered Goliath Hardwoods as a customer, watched the sale fall through multiple times with other buyers, and negotiated an owner-financed deal that let the business pay for itself from day one. Craig also shares how he inherited a loyal customer base, kept the existing staff, and immediately went to work building a social media presence from scratch with his son Ian behind the camera. You'll also hear about the incredible historic restoration project that landed on Craig's doorstep, resurfacing 130-plus-year-old flooring from the old Cargis building to be installed in 121 new apartments. Craig talks about his plans to create custom wood urns with military branch scroll work for local funeral homes, his vision for a dedicated maker space, and the heartwarming story of helping a pair of newlyweds build their first dining table in his shop. Jennifer and Craig also dig into sourcing strategies for small retailers, from Facebook Marketplace finds to building relationships with larger local suppliers, and how to use social media to stop the scroll and find the wood you need.

Make sure to subscribe, share this episode, and hit the notification bell so you never miss a deep dive into history.Welcome to another "thrilling" episode of The Days, where we are heading to the banks of the Ohio River to explore the story of Evansville, Indiana. This city has been shaped by ancient cultures, frontier ambitions, river trade, industrial growth, and a level of resilience that is frankly "fucked." Whether you know it as a hard-working Midwestern hub or just a place with "really bad pollution," the history of Evansville begins long before it even had a name. We start with the Angel Mounds, a major center of trade and culture occupied from 1000 AD to 1450 AD—centuries before Europeans arrived. Then, we move into the 1800s, tracing the arrival of Hugh McGarry Jr. and the eventual naming of the city after Colonel Robert M. Evans, a man who, as it turns out, wasn't even from here. The episode dives deep into the industrial boom that turned Evansville into a commercial powerhouse. We discuss the founding of Old National Bank in 1834, the rise of the "Lumber Barons" like John Augustus Reitz, and the city's unlikely title as the "Cigar Capital of the World" in the early 1900s. Did you know Barry Plastics now sits in a former factory that hand-cranked 100 million cigars a year? Finally, we cover Evansville's massive contribution to World War II. During the war, 75% of local factories held military contracts, and the Evansville shipyard became the world's largest inland producer of ocean-going ships, turning out 167 LSTs. We wrap up with the legends of the West Side Nut Club Fall Festival—the second largest street festival in the U.S.—and a heated debate over the new "Acorn" intersection at the Lloyd and St. Joe. TIMELINE : 00:00 - Introduction to the history of Evansville 03:00 - Angel Mounds and ancient Native American trade 06:15 - 1812: Hugh McGarry Jr. and the first homestead 11:20 - Who was Colonel Robert M.
