Send us a textWithout Threase Baker, today's episode would never have happened....Thank you!!!!What happens when the person who commands rooms across continents can't get a 10-year-old to go to bed? We sit down with a former Reebok and Adidas executive who built categories, led massive teams in Asia, and then walked into the hardest leadership arena of his life: his own home. Stripped of titles and certainty in 2020, he discovered how much of his identity depended on work—and how little that meant to his five kids. The result is a raw, hopeful story about presence, humility, and rebuilding trust one small moment at a time.We trace his early years—divorced parents, boarding school, ice hockey and lacrosse as a lifeline—and the unlikely break that took him from door-to-door telecom to designing gear, flying solo to China, and launching Reebok Lacrosse. Then comes the undoing: burnout, a marriage in pain, and a “seeing” that shattered his autopilot. He describes mystical flashes of clarity where he could feel the depth of his children's inner lives and the ache they carried for one simple thing: Dad, do you see me? That question becomes the compass for everything that follows.This conversation is heavy on practicals and light on buzzwords. We break down a kid-led morning system built on Montessori principles that turned chaos into calm. We talk about divorce with uncommon generosity, including the choice to keep a nesting home so the kids stay rooted while parents rotate. We replace guilt with growth, framing hard seasons as nature's pruning—painful, purposeful, and profoundly fertile. And we share simple tests you can run today: a 60-second pause when interrupted, capability charts instead of nagging, a nightly “what did you need from me?” check-in, and one wise friend who can tell you the truth.He now runs Activat8, helping people uncover identity rather than chase another plan. The thesis is bold and freeing: when you know who you are without roles, your presence becomes the safest place in the house. If you've ever wondered how to move from performance to connection, or how to lead a family without a title, this one will meet you where you are and nudge you forward.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a dad who needs it, and leave a quick review.

Send us a textBetrayal hurts more when it happens in the trenches. We take a hard look at apostasy—not as a catchall insult, but as the sobering reality of switching sides—through the lenses of Hebrews 6 and 10, Judas and Demas, and the everyday choices that reveal whether we love Jesus or just the glow of Christian community. Along the way, we make crucial distinctions: grave sin versus walking away for good, rebellion versus unbelief, and orthodoxy versus the theological slide that denies core truths while trying to keep a Christian label.Together we name the counterfeit of transactional religion, where people leverage church for platform, comfort, or power and call it faith. We talk frankly about leaders who fall, how to respond without minimizing sin or baptizing despair, and why superficial assurance harms souls more than honest warnings ever will. You'll hear why perseverance is more than a doctrinal slogan, how self-examination protects against drift, and how God can use anyone without that use proving union with Christ.We also get practical for parents and pastors at home. Fathers shape identity; when a dad turns, families often follow. So we map out how to raise children toward regeneration: tell the truth, confront sin with mercy, invite real questions, and use great stories to train the conscience. Boys and girls often sin differently; wise coaching honors those differences while keeping the same gospel center—dying to self and rising with Christ.If you've been burned by a Judas or discouraged by a Demas, take heart. Expect betrayal without becoming bitter, cling to the real gospel, and keep walking. If this conversation sharpened your thinking or strengthened your resolve, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find it.Support the show

Advent season is about “waiting in anticipation” for Jesus' coming. In the Western world, we wait by throwing Christmas parties, buying presents, and trying to avoid the hustle and bustle. But instead of trying to avoid, what if we tried to embrace? It's one thing to avoid, it's quite another to step into something with intention. In this episode, Josh and Christi share ways of embracing presence this Christmas — both with your spouse and kids, and with God as well. They cover some key highlights from their Advent book for families, The 25 Days of the Christmas Story, and also talk about what's coming for Tender & Fierce in 2026!Time Stamps: 0:00 Introduction and 25 Days of Christmas Story4:50 What's coming up for the podcast6:15 Christi updates on Tender & Fierce and what's coming for 202615:08 Embracing presence this Christmas20:50 Ideas for helping your kids experience God's presence this ChristmasShow Notes: Get 25 Days of the Christmas Story! https://amzn.to/49kHiO1Buy 25 Days of the Christmas Story in bulk: https://www.lifeway.com/en/product/25-days-of-the-christmas-story-P005829480Register for Tender & Fierce 2026! https://www.famousathome.com/tenderandfierceSign up for our email list and Famous at Home Starter Bundle: https://www.famousathome.com/newsletter Want a marriage you love?

Every man casts a shadow his family lives in for generations. Is yours one of leadership or influence? Discover the difference that changes everything. ABOUT THIS EPISODE In this powerful King's Corner segment, Lovey explores the critical difference between leadership and influence for men, husbands, and fathers.

When I leave the room, what emotional temperature do I leave behind?  4. Where am I relying on my title instead of my character?

With special guest: John Broadbent… in conversation with Bill Kable Our guest today lets us know about secret men’s business. John Broadbent takes us on a journey to discover what we do not know about ourselves. John has written a new book Man Unplugged where he sets out some questions we should be asking ourselves. Surprisingly even elders, that is men who have been on this earth for fifty years or more, may be surprised to find out what is really driving them. Since the first edition of this book came out ten years ago there have been significant changes in John’s life and it became necessary to do an update with many many insights for all of us. One of these insights that could have a major impact on all of us is how relationships can more easily form and be improved. This is by men acknowledging that they have a feminine “aspect” as distinct from the somewhat critical reference to a feminine “side”. Once acknowledged men can take advantage of this in activities such as art and music. A man can learn to live between his masculine and feminine aspects. Wisdom emerges when a man can call on both or either of these principles. Podcast (mp3)

The concept that God actually gets angry and has similar human emotions and traits is not only theologically incorrect but spiritually damaging. This week, we hear from both listeners and the Fathers as we continue to discuss biblical language when it must not be taken literally.

FROM THE VAULT: Gospel Daily with Josh Weidmann Set Apart with Authority, Part 2Series: Younique: Live A Life Set Apart By Christ Scripture: Eph 6:1-9 Episode: 795 Scripture Summary: In Ephesians 6:1–9, Paul provides practical instructions for household relationships rooted in Christ. He begins by urging children to obey and honor their parents, which is the first commandment with a promise—so that they may enjoy a good and long life. Fathers are instructed not to provoke their children to anger, but to raise them with godly training and instruction. Paul then addresses bondservants (slaves), telling them to obey their earthly masters with sincerity, as if serving Christ Himself, not just to win favor. Likewise, masters are told to treat their servants with respect, remembering that both master and servant have the same Master in heaven, who shows no favoritism.

Today we begin the Legacy Initiative leading to Legacy Sunday on December 7th. This message focuses on David's wounded backstory — being overlooked, called insignificant, and coming from a complicated bloodline — yet fully redeemed by God. David's wounds make him a fighter, but healing makes him a worshipper. Many of us carry wounds from fathers or leaders that push us into places we never meant to go, just like David under Saul. But God's mercy invites us to rise, pursue, overtake, and recover our legacy. If we want to leave a legacy, we have to build a legacy. ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/newtribechurch Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/newtribechurch YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/newtribechurch

He was born in Ukraine in 1722, one of the many children of a priest. He attended the Ecclesiastical Academy in Kiev, but was disappointed by the worldliness, love of ease and western theological climate that he found there.   After four years he left the school and embarked on a search for a spiritual father and a monastery where he could live in poverty. He eventually found wise spiritual guides in Romania, where many of the Russian monks had fled after Peter the Great's reforms. From there he traveled to the Holy Mountain. Spiritual life was at a low ebb there also, and Plato (the name he had been given as a novice) became a hermit, devoting his days to prayer and reading the Holy Scriptures and the writings of the Fathers. After four years, a visiting Elder from Romania tonsured him a monk under the name Paisius, and advised him to live with other monks to avoid the spiritual dangers of taking up the solitary life too soon. A few brethren from Romania arrived, seeking to make him their spiritual father, but as he felt unworthy to take on this task, all of them lived in poverty and mutual obedience. Others joined them from Romania and the Slavic countries, and in time they took up the cenobitic life, with Paisius as their reluctant abbot.   In 1763 the entire community (grown to sixty-five in number) left the Holy Mountain and returned to Romania. They were given a monastery where they adopted the Athonite rule of life. Abbot Paisius introduced the Jesus Prayer and other aspects of hesychasm to the monastic life there: before this time, they had been used mostly by hermits. The services of the Church were conducted fully, with the choirs chanting alternately in Slavonic and Romanian. The monks confessed to their Elder every evening so as not to let the sun go down on their anger, and a brother who held a grudge against another was forbidden to enter the church, or even to say the Lord's Prayer, until he had settled it.   The monastic brotherhood eventually grew to more than a thousand, divided into two monasteries. Visitors and pilgrims came from Russia, Greece and other lands to experience its holy example.   St Paisius had learned Greek while on Mt Athos, and undertook to produce accurate Slavonic translations of the writings of many of the Fathers of the Church. The Greek Philokalia had been published not long before, and St Paisius produced a Slavonic version that was read throughout the Slavic Orthodox world. (This is the Philokalia that the pilgrim carries with him in The Way of a Pilgrim).   The Saint reposed in peace in 1794, one year after the publication of his Slavonic Philokalia. The Synaxarion summarizes his influence: "These translations, and the influence of the Saint through the activity of his disciples in Russia, led to a widespread spiritual renewal, and to the restoration of traditional monastic life there which lasted until the Revolution of 1917."

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Daniel Crofoot from Cape Coral, FL. Your commitment through Project23 helps deliver God's Word daily with clarity and conviction. This one's for you. Our text today is Judges 12:13-15 After him Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel. He had forty sons and thirty grandsons, who rode on seventy donkeys, and he judged Israel eight years. Then Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died and was buried at Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekites. — Judges 12:13-15 Abdon's leadership doesn't come with stories of war or dramatic miracles. Instead, Scripture records his family line and their prosperity—sons and grandsons riding seventy donkeys, a cultural sign of peace, wealth, and influence. For eight years, Israel experienced stability under his leadership. It may not read like an epic story, but in a book filled with chaos and conflict, Abdon's peaceful legacy shines as a rare blessing. We live in a restless world. We celebrate fame, power, and controversy more than faithfulness, humility, and stability. However, Abdon reminds us that a quiet life of faith can have a ripple effect that lasts for generations. His legacy wasn't built in the spotlight—it was built at home, among his family, and in the stability he provided his community. That's the kind of legacy we need today. Fathers who create safe homes. Leaders who model integrity. Believers who commit to their church and community with steady devotion. The impact of such faithfulness outlasts the drama of the moment—it builds generations of blessing. Don't chase the momentary spotlight. Build the kind of faithfulness that outlives you. Stability is a gift to your family and your community—and it's the kind of legacy God loves to multiply. ASK THIS: What kind of legacy am I building for my family and community? Do I value stability and faithfulness as much as God does? How can I invest in people, not just accomplishments, today? DO THIS: Take one step today to invest in stability—pray with your family, encourage someone younger in the faith, or strengthen your commitment to your local church. Faithful seeds planted now will bear fruit for generations. PRAY THIS: Father, help me build a legacy of faithfulness. Use my life not for fleeting applause, but to bring peace, stability, and blessing that ripple into the lives of others long after I'm gone. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Faithful Then / Faithful Now."

John F. Kennedy once said; “Victory has 100 Fathers and Defeat is an Orphan.” He may have left out the part where defeat has many cousins ready to tell you what went wrong. The secret to growing from a defeat is being able to cull the appropriate lessons from the multitude of offerings of analysis. Such is the story of Virginia's GOP and the defeats suffered State-wide and in the House of Delegates. One rule of thumb is to seek out people with first-hand experience during the defeat because they might often have real direct experience with where “the train started to come off the rails.”  Such is the story of Scott Pio, he is the Loudon County GOP chair. Glenn Youngkin's gains in his county helped propel him to the Governors' Mansion in 2021. Now he's demanding leadership changes within the statewide party and we sit down with him to talk about what he wants to see happen and what he's prepared to do if it doesn't change.

Today's Topics: Joshua Charles joins Terry for Friday with the Fathers 1) Gospel - Luke 17:26-37 - Jesus said to His disciples: "As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man; they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage up to the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. Similarly, as it was in the days of Lot: they were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building; on the day when Lot left Sodom, fire and brimstone rained from the sky to destroy them all. So it will be on the day the Son of Man is revealed. On that day, someone who is on the housetop and whose belongings are in the house must not go down to get them, and likewise one in the field must not return to what was left behind. Remember the wife of Lot. Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses it will save it. I tell you, on that night there will be two people in one bed; one will be taken, the other left. And there will be two women grinding meal together; one will be taken, the other left." They said to Him in reply, "Where, Lord?" He said to them, "Where the body is, there also the vultures will gather." Bishop Sheen quote of the day 2, 3, 4) Terry and Joshua discuss Early Father of the Church: Bishop and Doctor of the Church, Saint Isidore of Seville

After visiting old Hollywood, we went more modern, but still on the noir vibe. We watched Copycat (1995) and The Bone Collector (1999).

Join BeFluent - https://bit.ly/3PnVR6uИван Тургенев родился в 1818 году в дворянской семье в имении Спасское-Лутовиново. Его детство прошло среди полей, лесов и большого усадебного дома. Мать Тургенева была очень строгой женщиной и часто жестоко обращалась с крепостными. Маленький Иван видел это и переживал. Из-за этого он рано понял, что несправедливость и насилие — это плохо. Позже это станет важной темой в его книгах.Тургенев получил хорошее образование. Он учился в университетах в Москве и Петербурге, а потом поехал в Берлин, где изучал философию и европейскую культуру. Это сделало его человеком открытого взгляда, интересующимся новыми идеями и развитием общества.Первые большие успехи Тургенева связаны с книгой «Записки охотника». Это сборник рассказов о жизни крестьян. В этих рассказах он впервые показал крестьян как людей с богатой душой, мыслями и чувствами. Многие читатели тогда увидели крепостных по-новому. Говорят, что эта книга даже повлияла на решение об отмене крепостного права.Позже он написал свои главные романы:«Рудин» — о человеке, который много говорит, но мало делает.«Дворянское гнездо» — о тихой и печальной любви.«Отцы и дети» — о конфликте старшего и молодого поколения.«Отцы и дети» вызвали большие споры. Одни говорили, что Тургенев высмеивает новое поколение, другие — что он защищает его. Но на самом деле Тургенев просто хотел понять обе стороны.Большую часть жизни Тургенев провёл за границей, особенно во Франции. Там жила женщина, которую он очень любил — певица Полина Виардо. Но, даже живя далеко, он всегда оставался русским писателем: продолжал писать о России, о её людях и её судьбе.Иван Тургенев умер во Франции в 1883 году.Ivan Turgenev was born in 1818 into a noble family on the estate of Spasskoye-Lutovinovo. His childhood passed among fields, forests, and a large country house. Turgenev's mother was a very strict woman and often treated the serfs harshly. Young Ivan saw this and felt upset. Because of this, he understood early that injustice and violence are wrong. Later, this became an important theme in his books.Turgenev received a good education. He studied at universities in Moscow and St. Petersburg, and then went to Berlin, where he studied philosophy and European culture. This made him a person with an open mind, interested in new ideas and the development of society.Turgenev first became well-known with his book A Sportsman's Sketches. This is a collection of stories about the life of peasants. In these stories he showed peasants as people with rich inner lives, thoughts, and feelings. Many readers saw serfs differently after this book. It is said that the book even influenced the decision to end serfdom in Russia.Later he wrote his major novels:Rudin — about a person who talks a lot but does little.Home of the Gentry (Nest of the Gentry) — about quiet and sad love.Fathers and Sons — about the conflict between the older and younger generations.Fathers and Sons caused many arguments. Some people said Turgenev was against the new generation; others said he supported it. But in reality, Turgenev simply wanted to understand both sides.Turgenev spent much of his life abroad, especially in France. The woman he loved, the singer Pauline Viardot, lived there. But even while living far away, he remained a Russian writer: he continued to write about Russia, its people, and its future.Ivan Turgenev died in France in 1883.Telegram Channel - https://t.me/befluentinrussian

Okay, so a person is born again because they've given their life to Jesus. But even though they've experienced the Holy Spirit changing them inside, they live as if they were still the same person, not the new person they are. Why is that?

Send us a textSome stories punch through the noise because they're real, a little rough, and full of heart. Adam Bilinski's path runs from a single mom's sacrifice and a grueling work ethic to a flagpole accident that nearly ended his chance to be a dad—then into the high-pressure world of New York tech hiring, where process and people beat buzzwords. Along the way, he learned what actually scales at home: respect for everyone, a clear standard for work, and an attitude that lifts the room without faking optimism.We dig into the moments that shaped him: summer jobs where five minutes late meant go home, the teacher who told him he belonged in New York after watching him negotiate for a busload of classmates, and the career breakthrough that came from obsessing over value rather than volume. Then we connect those lessons to fatherhood. Adam and his wife raise two very different sons with the same core rules—mutual respect, consistent effort, and financial literacy. When culture clashes with values, they choose values, even if it means changing schools.The emotional playbook is as practical as it is kind. Adam calls himself a realist with a good attitude, teaches his kids to notice who adds or drains energy, and lives by the saying " This too will pass." He swapped lectures for listening—do you want me to listen or solve?—and watched trust deepen. Professionally, he explains how Randstad Digital wins with delivery, talent, and repeatable processes, and why integrity outlasts shortcuts in a crowded market. If you're a parent, leader, or both, you'll walk away with simple habits that compound: respect everyone, choose your attitude, save first, serve others, and keep showing up.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review so more parents and leaders can find us.

After the mysterious death of her father, media tycoon Robert Maxwell, in 1991, Ghislaine Maxwell's world collapsed overnight. Her father's empire — once a global powerhouse of publishing and influence — was exposed as a house of fraud built on embezzled pension funds and deceit. Ghislaine, once the glamorous socialite daughter of a media baron, suddenly found herself disgraced, adrift, and exiled from the circles that once adored her. Her family name was radioactive in Britain, her inheritance vanished, and she carried the emotional and financial fallout of her father's scandal. Desperate to reinvent herself and escape the wreckage, she relocated to New York City, where she sought refuge in the same elite world her father had once manipulated — the world of power, privilege, and access.In that new environment, Ghislaine quickly attached herself to Jeffrey Epstein, a man who offered wealth, status, and the illusion of stability. To many who knew her then, Epstein was the replacement for her domineering father — a figure of control and charisma she could orbit around. She leveraged her charm and social intelligence to help Epstein build his network of powerful friends, playing the role of gatekeeper and madam under the guise of sophistication. The tragedy of her father's death didn't humble her — it hardened her. Instead of retreating from the corruption and exploitation that had defined her family's downfall, she dove deeper into it, reshaping herself into the same kind of manipulator her father had been, only this time with a far darker purpose.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Fr. Dom is back! James and Fr. Dom tackle one of the most misunderstood yet absolutely essential topics in the spiritual life: baptism. This is not just another Church formality. This is the dividing line between belonging to the Kingdom of God and the dominion of Satan.Drawing from Scripture, the Catechism, and the wisdom of the saints, TMC lays out with clarity and conviction what baptism truly does: freeing us from original sin, making us sons of God, and incorporating us into the Body of Christ. Without it, you remain enslaved to sin and outside the family of God.You'll hear why the early Church Fathers, councils, and even the Protestant revolution itself reveal that there's no salvation without baptism. Fr. Dominic doesn't sugarcoat the truth — he calls modern men to wake up to the spiritual reality of this sacrament and to recognize the Church as the one true means of salvation given to us by Christ Himself.James and Fr. Dom also confront why our age resists authority, why relativism and pride have blinded so many, and why men must reclaim their God-given duty to lead their families into the faith by baptizing their children without hesitation.In this episode, you'll discover:The biblical foundation of baptism — from Acts to Corinthians to the Great Commission.Why baptism isn't symbolic but supernatural warfare.How baptism undoes the curse of Adam and Eve and reclaims your soul for God.Why relativism, pride, and modernism are destroying moral order — and what Catholic men must do to restore it.The spiritual danger of delaying baptism for your children.Why contemplating death (memento mori) prepares your soul for heaven.Challenge to Men: If you have children who aren't baptized — schedule it now. Don't delay. Fathers, you are the protectors of your family's souls. Take your post. Lead your household back under the protection of God. Baptism is the first weapon in your family's arsenal against hell.3 Powerful Quotes:“Through baptism, we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God. We become members of Christ and sharers in His mission.”“If you're not going to follow God, then who do you belong to? Baptism begins to undo definitively the faults of our first parents in the garden.”“Parents, you're supposed to protect your child. Why would you let them walk this world owned by Satan when baptism can claim them for God?”Key Takeaway: Baptism isn't optional — it's the decisive act that transfers your soul from the dominion of darkness to the Kingdom of Christ. Every Catholic man must treat it as a matter of eternal life and death.Send us a text Support the showPlease prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our Buy Me A Coffee page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

With special guests: Brendan Morris & Stephan Wellink… in conversation with Bill Kable The Thornetts, a band of brothers as Shakespeare might have called them. Today we explore what makes a champion when we hear about a sporting giant from 1960’s Australia, namely Richard, or as he was more commonly known, Dick Thornett. Dick was the youngest in a family of champions. Dick’s oldest brother was John who became the Captain of the Australian Rugby team, the Wallabies. Under John, the Wallabies had a legendary tour of South Africa. The next brother Ken also played Rugby at a representative level but is best known for his Rugby League abilities. Starting his Rugby League career in England he became known as the Mayor of Leeds before he came back to Australia representing Parramatta and Australia in the Kangaroos. Dick is called “the Natural” because he was so good at any sport he turned his hand to. After representing Australia in water polo at the 1960 Olympics in Rome he went on to represent Australia in two very different sports namely Rugby and Rugby League. Podcast (mp3)

What makes a true shepherd great? Strength in leadership, courage in the face of danger, and clarity in truth. Today, the Church celebrates Pope St. Leo the Great, whose faith shaped both the Church and the world during one of history's darkest times.When Attila the Hun and his brutal army advanced toward Rome, Pope Leo — a frail, elderly man — went out alone to meet him. History records that Attila turned away after the encounter, claiming to have seen two mighty figures standing beside the Pope — St. Peter and St. Paul — with an army of angels behind them. God Himself defended His Church through the courage and faith of His servant.Yet Pope Leo's greatest battle was not fought with swords, but with words. In an age of confusion, he boldly defended the truth about Christ's nature — fully God and fully man — against the rising heresies of his day. His Tome of Leo helped form the Council of Chalcedon's great declaration of faith: Christ is “one and the same Son... perfect in divinity and perfect in humanity.” The Fathers of the Council proclaimed, “Peter has spoken through Leo.”As Fr. Matthew reminds us, truth and mercy always go hand in hand. Pope Leo not only defended doctrine but lived charity — protecting the poor, reconciling enemies, and calling sinners to conversion. His courage calls us today to the same mission: to seek truth, forgive freely, and love without fear.May St. Leo the Great intercede for the Church today — that our shepherds may lead with the same faith, wisdom, and courage that once stopped an empire and safeguarded the Gospel for generations.Watch the full homily now on DivineMercyPlus.org or the free Divine Mercy Plus (DM+) app.#frmatt #marian #marians #marianfathers #marianhelpers #divinemercy #thedivinemercy #catholic #catholicism #romancatholic #romancatholicism #popleothegreat #faith #truth #courage #catholictiktok #forgiveness #churchhistory #heresy ★ Support this podcast ★

Today's Topics: Joshua Charles joins Terry for Friday with the Fathers 1) Gospel - Luke 16:1-8 - Jesus said to his disciples, “A rich man had a steward who was reported to him for squandering his property. He summoned him and said, ‘What is this I hear about you? Prepare a full account of your stewardship, because you can no longer be my steward.' The steward said to himself, ‘What shall I do, now that my master is taking the position of steward away from me? I am not strong enough to dig and I am ashamed to beg. I know what I shall do so that, when I am removed from the stewardship, they may welcome me into their homes.' He called in his master's debtors one by one. To the first he said, ‘How much do you owe my master?' He replied, ‘One hundred measures of olive oil.' He said to him, ‘Here is your promissory note. Sit down and quickly write one for fifty.' Then to another he said, ‘And you, how much do you owe?' He replied, ‘One hundred measures of wheat.'   He said to him, ‘Here is your promissory note; write one for eighty.' And the master commended that dishonest steward for acting prudently. For the children of this world are more prudent in dealing with their own generation than the children of light.” Bishop Sheen quote of the day 2, 3, 4) Terry and Joshua discuss Early Father of the Church: Saint Athanasius
