Messy Family Podcast : Catholic conversations on marriage and family
Summary Every family inherits a legacy, both the blessings and the struggles, yet God calls us to build something new with Him. In this episode, Mike and Alicia reflect on the importance of having a dream for your family that goes beyond survival mode and day-to-day busyness. Drawing inspiration from the film Field of Dreams, they explore how couples can discern God's vision for their home, create a legacy of love, and take bold, countercultural steps together. Whether you're just starting out or sending kids off to college, this conversation will encourage you to pray, dream, and act with faith that “if you build it, HE will come.” Key Takeaways Legacy Matters: We inherit patterns from our families of origin, but we can choose what to keep, redeem, or leave behind. Dream Beyond Today: God calls us to think not just about survival, but about a vision that shapes generations. Unity in Marriage: A shared dream unites spouses, strengthens families, and becomes a witness to others. God Provides the Tools: He uses the gifts, circumstances, and desires already present in your life to shape His vision for your family. Practical Step: Pray together, journal your inspirations, and start with simple habits that align with your family's God-given dream. Couple Discussion Questions What legacies from your families of origin do you want to keep—and which ones do you want to leave behind? If you looked five or ten years into the future, what would you want your children (or future children) to say about your family? Where do you see God already giving you the “building blocks” for His dream for your family? What small, concrete step can we take this week to begin living into that dream together?

Episode 181: Pride of the Yankees (1942) and Field of Dreams (1989) by Finleys on Films
Welcome to A Different Door, where every week we have a conversation in reference to the Scripture and dive deep into topics and issues that are going on in our world.
On this emotionally rich Tuesday edition of What's On Your Mind, Scott Hennen and Kevin Flynn reflect on the legacy of Dr. Tom Strinden — UND alum, hockey dad, servant leader, and cherished North Dakotan. They share heartfelt stories, explore the meaning of end-of-life visits, and pay tribute to a life that truly "left the woodpile higher." Then, things heat up (literally) as the crew dives into the smoke blanketing the state. Congressman Ryan Zinke joins to talk fire mismanagement in Canada, "smoke tariffs," and the frustrating politics of forest policy. Plus, Senator Scott Meyer brings us updates from Grand Sky's drone innovation frontier. And yes — it's National Be a Dork Day, so buckle up for some MJ debates, whale trivia, and dorky texts from listeners. Only on WOYM.

In this Voices of the Valley episode, Western Growers SeniorVice President, Innovation, Walt Duflock and The Reservoir CEO Danny Bernstein introduce Reservoir Farms, a first-of-its-kind initiative in Salinas, Calif., where agtech startups can work with growers to do field trials of their technologies. In tandem with endeavors from the Western Growers Center for Innovation and Technology, Reservoir is trying to solve one of ag's biggest problems: there is simply not enough labor to get crops out of the field and onto dinner tables. “We have a big and growing line-item expense challenge withgrowers in California,” Duflock says. “The best and maybe only realistic scalable solution for that is robots.”

Milton Hershey never finished 4th grade. Yet, he built such a successful business that 80 years after his death his trust is still financing a wide array of charitable enterprises, with billions in surplus. Even Hershey, PA is named after him. Hershey started in caramels, but felt they were a fad and switched to chocolate. All his accomplishments, however, were almost cut short by the Titanic disaster.
A man turns his farm into a baseball diamond inhabited by the ghosts of disgraced ballplayers in what might be the most boomer dad film ever made. Starring Kevin Costner, Ray Liotta, James Earl Jones, Amy Madigan, Burt Lancaster, and Timothy Busfield. Written and directed by Phil Alden Robinson.
In this follow-up to his Hitchcock review, Dr. Douglas Groothuis offers a sharp and thoughtful worldview critique of the beloved 1989 film Field of Dreams, starring Kevin Costner. While the film presents a moving story of faith, family, and reconciliation, it does so through a distinctly New Age lens — one that subtly replaces the biblical God with the self as the ultimate authority. Drawing from his background in Christian philosophy and apologetics, Dr. Groothuis unpacks the philosophical assumptions behind the film’s famous line, “If you build it, he will come”, and contrasts them with the truth of biblical revelation, divine transcendence, and eternal hope. For anyone learning to engage media with discernment, this short essay offers a powerful example of Christian film analysis in action.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 143 - Phil Alden Robinson - Writer / Director In this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with writer and director Phil Alden Robinson (THE GOOD FIGHT, THE SUM OF ALL FEARS, FIELD OF DREAMS) about many of his films. Phil was initially interested in politics and journalism, but he eventually made his way to Los Angeles and found his way into a writer's room based on the strength of a spec script. Phil soon found two of his feature scripts in production, and he reflects on the impact of being treated as badly as possible and as well as possible simultaneously. Later, Phil breaks down how FIELD OF DREAMS came together as a project, and we learn how he overcame an overwhelming sense of stress through the support of his cast and key crew members, including cinematographer John Lindley (Season 1, Episode 34) and production designer Dennis Gassner (Season 1, Episode 131). In addition to his work in features, Phil also directed documentaries for Nightline in a number of war zones, and we discuss the value of living life and taking time off from making movies. We also discuss the ubiquitousness of VFX in cinema today, and Phil shares what he feels to be the real lesson to take away from a film like the original STAR WARS. - Recommended Viewing: FIELD OF DREAMS, THE SUM OF ALL FEARS - This episode is sponsored by Aputure & Profoto

Nearly two years ago, Dylan announced that he'd be writing a Dark Universe take on Field of Dreams. Now, for his last solo pitch of the Death's Door Saga, he finally has to pitch it, and it's not remotely the script he initially planned. So, is that a good thing, or a bad thing? What the Hell is Field of Nightmares, and how will it be recieved by Dalton, who has no fondness for the 1989 baseball film on which it's based? PLUS: A quick clip from this month's bonus episode, on which D&D pitch a chapter in the Jenny & Carol saga based on the obscure TV movie Snow White: A Tale of Terror! Dylan would also like to acknowledge the late, great film composer James Horner, whose themes from the original Field of Dreams feature heavily in his score to this episode.

Mow down that cornfield and invite all your favorite dead baseball players as we take a swing at 1989's Field of Dreams. Are daddy issues a prerequisite for watching this movie, or can you just enjoy seeing Ray Liotta in baseball pants? Does Kevin Costner's pancake butt and 80s hair take away from or define his hotness? Can Amy Madigan please show up to Congress tomorrow and deliver some stringent monologues until everyone wises up? We'll give you some answers right after we follow James Earl Jones into those fascinating looking crops.
His dad, Mark Patrick (Storen) is a celebrity in Indianapolis (and nationally) for his work on television and the syndicated Bob & Tom radio show. He is also, related to one of the great sportscasters ever; Hannah Storm. But DREW STOREN made his own way by being a virtually unhittable pitcher in high school and at Stanford before pitching in the Majors. In his second year in the big leagues, Storen became the closer for the upstart Washington Nationals and saved 43 games. His love for the game and his 13 year major league career eventually drove him to the fields where dreams are made- in Iowa. There, with his partners, he now bottles whiskey and bourbon (whiskey) with the iconic "Field of Dreams" brand. How does a kid from Indiana go from pitcher to businessman with THAT brand? You'll just have to listen and find out.
